Being stared at by so many eyes, the atmosphere became a little strange for a moment.
Xie Yue looked at the few people and said, "Don't be afraid, everyone. This is my junior high school classmate Shen Anning whom I mentioned at noon."
Several educated youths looked at Shen Anning as if they saw a life-saving Bodhisattva, their eyes full of hope.
Shen An Ning didn't know what was going on, and looked at Xie Yue, "Xie Yue, what's going on here? Why are men and women still sleeping together?"
Before she could finish, Xie Yue hugged her and sobbed softly, "An Ning, I'm so happy to see you. You don't know, my heart almost jumped out when I saw you this afternoon." This was the dawn of hope. After staying in this wolf den for four years, this time she, they, they really saw hope.
Seeing that Xie Yue was too emotional, Shen Anning could only pat her back gently, "Okay, it's okay, Xiaoyue, calm down and tell me what's going on."
Xie Yue wiped her tears and paused for a few seconds before speaking: "An Ning, you may not believe it when I tell you this. There are too many things, and they are too complicated. I will tell you from the beginning."
"Twenty years ago, most families in this village had the surname Zhao. But the three-year disaster was so severe that more than half fled. The elderly who stayed have died over the years. Only eight or nine families remain. The others are surnamed Li. They are all outsiders, but they are numerous and powerful, so the village head and party secretary are all Li family members."
"After graduating from high school, I couldn't find a job. My older brother was already married and couldn't take my place, so I went to the countryside. My parents had spent money and used connections to get me a job in Fangshan, close to home, but the position was taken by someone else, and by the time they could find someone else, it was too late."
"When I arrived here, there were only two boys left at the educated youth center, one was Wang Qiang, who was just outside, and another named Li Lei, who was admitted to a junior college last year through the college entrance examination.
At this point, Xie Yue's tone became hurried, "An Ning, something must have happened to him. According to Brother Li's personality, he would definitely tell us even if he left. He wouldn't leave without saying goodbye. And he has been gone for so long without a letter to us. This is not normal."
Seeing Xie Yue getting more and more excited, Shen Anning had to let her stop first, "Okay, Xie Yue, I will definitely help you, don't worry, I came here with my teacher, senior brothers and sisters, and teachers and students from the Medical University. We are all registered in the province. If any of us is missing, the village will be in trouble. So the villagers will definitely not dare to do anything reckless. We are convenient and will definitely help you!"
"Sister An Ning, let us tell you the rest." The man sitting on the chair looked at the older female educated youth, then stood up and helped Xie Yue sit down.
"This Village Chief Li is a scumbag. He abused his power and insulted the educated youth. There were a dozen or so female educated youth who came before us. Aside from two who broke their legs and returned to the city due to illness, we know that three died. The rest all married in this village or in Liujiawan, near the town. The people in Liujiawan should know the people here."
When Shen Anning heard this, he probably guessed what was going to happen next.
Sure enough, the more she listened, the angrier she became, gritting her teeth in anger!
The village head and the party secretary abused their power to insult the female educated youth at will, allowed young people in the village to enter and leave the educated youth site at will, withheld letters and parcels sent from their families, and required that the replies be written according to the content they specified.
If Xie Yue and other educated youth had not come from big cities, and their families had more or less some power, and if they had not received help from the Zhao clan, they would not have survived until now.
Originally, they wanted to settle the matter peacefully, thinking that they would just suffer a little loss. However, after a few little hooligans in the village broke into the room of the female educated youth, the educated youth and the village had a complete falling out. There was a big fight, and both sides saw blood. The second son of the branch secretary was directly crippled and could never be humane again in this life. Hearing this, Shen An Ning just wanted to say that it was better to cripple him.
So until now, they have to arrange several rounds of people to guard the yard every night, and everyone tries to sleep in the same room as much as possible, with blades, mirror fragments, and porcelain bowl fragments placed next to their pillows...
Shen Anning didn't know how to describe the bitterness and pain in her heart, "Then Xie Yue, didn't you take the college entrance examination last year?"
"We all did. People from the county and town came and said it was national policy to encourage us educated youth to take the exam. The village chief was afraid that if no one in the village went, it would attract attention from higher-ups, so he asked us all to go. But except for Li Lei, who happened to run into the postman while working at the village entrance that day, none of us received an admission letter."
Shen Anning suppressed his temper fiercely and was very sure, “There should be several young people missing in the village. They are not here during normal times, but they come back during the New Year.”
The people in the room looked at each other and nodded silently. They had guessed it a long time ago.
"Xie Yue, do you know how those female educated youth who came before you are doing now?"
After hearing this, Xie Yue couldn't stop crying. In order to show it to outsiders and prevent them from getting suspicious, the villagers would send people to watch over them every month and take them to the town to buy some things. Of course, they couldn't get the things in the end, and the food they were given every year for working in the village was just enough to keep them from starving to death.
"They're having a hard time. The few times we met them, they would shake their heads and cry at us, saying, 'Run!'
Wuuwuwu, "An Ning, please, save them. I know your grandfather is a general. Do you know that none of those who were sent to the bullpen here survived..."
This is no longer something that can be described as evil. Leaning against the wall, Shen Anning felt powerless for the second time in her life. She had lived another life, and she thought that what she had seen in her previous life was dirty enough, but she didn't expect...
