Just after closing the gate and walking a few steps, Shen An Ning saw two young men standing at the fork in the road. When they saw Shen An Ning and the others talking and laughing as they walked over, they turned around and walked towards the other road.
Now, Fang Yuan also noticed something was different. If she hadn't thought anything of it before, considering what Shen An Ning had just said on the phone, her eyes changed as she looked at the backs of the two men.
"Little Sister, they..."
Shen Anning held Fang Yuandi's hand and said, "Don't be nervous or afraid. They are here to monitor us. Weren't there a few villagers nearby when we were on the mountain this morning? They are here to monitor us too."
Fang Yuan was frightened. She thought the village chief was a good person, but he was simply a devil crawling out of hell.
Sun Zimu and Guo Haochen didn't know what was going on and were a little heartless. Shen Anning looked at them and thought it was good this way. With these two "silly and sweet" people confusing the villagers, it would be convenient for them to do things.
When they arrived at Li Dazhu's house, they had just finished eating and hadn't put away their dishes yet. Fang Yuan looked at everyone as a bad person. Shen An Ning was afraid that she would be exposed, so she asked the three of them to wait at the door while she went in to pay.
She kept patting her face along the way, and it looked red.
"Uncle Village Chief, I'm here to give you the money for the phone call."
The money from making phone calls belongs to the village's income, and Li Dazhu will not refuse it. "This money should be given to the village, so I'll take it."
"Hey, Village Chief, what are you talking about? You have to pay to make a phone call anywhere. We are very grateful that you can lend us the village phone. Here is 25 yuan. Please keep it, Uncle Village Chief."
Li Dazhu took the money without counting it. He knew these college students well. Young people were very concerned about their reputation and would only give more, not less. "Okay, then uncle will take it. If you have any problems in the village, just come to me."
"Okay, uncle, I'll go back first. I'll go back and rest for a while because I have to go up the mountain in the afternoon."
"Okay, okay, I won't send you off. You kids work hard every day."
Shen An Ning's expression changed as soon as she went out. This Li Dazhu was really good at disguising himself. If Shen An Ning hadn't known the things he had done, she would never have thought that he was this kind of person. He always smiled at everyone he met, and looked like a good old man. He was so deceptive.
It was noon and the sun was particularly strong. My back was wet when I returned to Zhao's house. There was a big steamer outside and a small steamer inside the house. My two senior sisters were lying on the bed and had not fallen asleep yet.
Fang Yuan pulled Shen Anning to sit down and asked in a very low voice: "Is there anyone watching us here?"
"Don't worry, they don't have clairvoyance or super hearing. They definitely can't hear us talking normally in the house."
Fang Yuan patted his chest and felt relieved. "Then what happened? Is what you just said on the phone true?"
The two senior sisters were confused when they heard them talking, and they looked at Shen An Ning with curiosity.
Shen Anning hadn't intended to hide it from them, "Senior Sister, Fang Yuan, I want to tell you something very important."
"Xie Yue, the educated youth from the village, is actually my junior high school classmate. I took the risk and went to see her last night. The educated youth site is under surveillance every day. The villagers treat the female educated youth very badly, and the male educated youth are not much better. A few years ago, several female educated youth died. Xie Yue and her group got into trouble with the villagers and even hurt someone..."
"Senior Sister, Fang Yuan, I made the call today because I want these people to be brought to justice."
After hearing what Shen Anning said, the three people didn’t come back to their senses for a long time.
After all, the two sisters were in their forties, so they could understand the situation after thinking about it. "So what should we do next?"
"Yes, little sister-in-law, what can we do to help them? It's too much, scum," Fang Yuan said as she began to cry softly. She also has brothers and sisters at home. If they hadn't been admitted to technical secondary school, didn't go to high school, and joined the army... she couldn't even imagine it.
"Senior Sister, we should not do anything for the next few days. We can't let the villagers see that something is wrong with us. We are under surveillance when we go up the mountain during the day. They may be hiding some secrets in the mountain."
"Especially you, Fang Yuan. Don't show everything on your face. Smile when you should, play around when you should. The more normal we act, the less they'll watch us."
"My grandfather will go and coordinate with the army. As long as the armed forces take action, no one who has done bad things here will be able to escape."
They all had something on their minds and the weather was hot, so they lay in bed for half a day and only took a short nap. When they got up, they were still a little groggy.
After preparing yourself mentally, Fang Yuan will still be the same Fang Yuan when you go out again.
It was four or five o'clock, and the sun was finally not so scorching. Everyone put on their small backpacks and took their cloth bags and started their journey up the mountain to collect herbs and learn about medicine.
Perhaps the work in the fields was almost done, and many people from the village followed them. Aunt Zhao and Xiaofeng also followed them. Xiaofeng was jumping and skipping all the way, and before reaching the foot of the mountain, she had picked a basket of wild vegetables.
After reaching the place where they had dispersed in the morning, Aunt Zhao took Xiaofeng and the villagers to walk further up.
Fang Yuan called Xiao Feng, "Xiao Feng, put the wild vegetables here so you don't have to take them upstairs."
"Okay, thank you Sister Fang Yuan. I'll go up there and pick some wild fruits for you. They're so sweet."
Usually the villagers are busy working and have few opportunities to go up the mountain. It is a rule that children cannot go up the mountain alone. Xiaofeng has a small family, and only after finishing the work in the fields can she go to the mountain with her parents to look for wild fruits. Such opportunities are rare throughout the year, so she is very excited every time she goes up the mountain.
