Everyone in the village knew that Lu Zhenhua was about to be promoted to deputy battalion commander at such a young age.
Lu Zhenhua's mother brags in the village every day that his father died in the line of duty in the army, and he receives compensation every month. His own salary is so high too. Who wouldn't be jealous of such a good thing?
He has no brothers and only a younger sister who got married early. It can be said that there are more people in the village who are trying to find a marriage partner for him than for the team leader's family.
Lu Zhenhua had a cold face, and water kept dripping from the cotton coat and trousers his mother had just made for him.
No matter how good his physical condition was, he was still shivering in this weather with the temperature exceeding 20 degrees below zero.
Zhou Guoliang at the educated youth camp quickly said, "Comrade Lu Zhenhua, right? Go back and change your clothes first, and warm yourself by the fire. It may take a while for educated youth Wu to wake up. When she wakes up, everyone at the educated youth camp will come to thank her in person."
What he said was flawless, and with just a few words he stopped the ladies from spreading any rumors.
Lu Zhenhua nodded, turned around and walked towards his home.
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the ladies left in twos and threes.
But they were still discussing how this educated youth Wu fell into the ice hole. If no one found him, he would be dead.
At the educated youth center, in Wu Yu's room, Li Guihua and Wen Sihe changed her cold clothes, and Li Guihua ran outside and brought in a basin of snow.
She picked up the snow and rubbed it on Wu Yu's body. Wen Sihe didn't understand what she meant.
Shouldn't you sit by the fire and warm yourself up?
"I don't know how long Xiaoyu has been soaking in the ice water. Her body has been frostbitten. Using hot water might cause necrosis. After rubbing her body with snow to warm it up, she put it in the quilt when it reached a certain temperature."
Li Guihua was quick and agile, and Wen Sihe also picked up the snow and rubbed it on Wu Yu's legs.
Both of their hands were red from the cold, and Wu Yu's body finally warmed up.
Wen Sihe was covered in sweat as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
Li Guihua breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's observe her for a while. If she still doesn't wake up in the afternoon, we'll send her to the hospital."
Fortunately, Wu Yu woke up just after noon.
"How is it, Xiaoyu?" Wen Sihe walked forward anxiously and held her still cold little hand.
When Wu Yu saw Wen Sihe, she started crying in grievance: "I was pushed down by someone."
It turned out that Wu Yu had been thinking about exchanging some local specialties with the aunties in the village early in the morning and taking them back.
She was carrying a large backpack on her back, and the man pushed her from behind. Her head hit the ice below and she fainted immediately.
I didn't even see who it was.
Li Guihua, who had just walked in, also heard about this and immediately became angry and yelled, "Which shameless bastard did this immoral thing!"
Wu Yu was also confused. She was usually a carefree person and had never offended anyone.
Why would someone want to kill her?
Wen Sihe recalled the conflict between Wu Yu and Xu Qian over her.
A chill flashed in her eyes. Wu Yu and Li Guihua seemed to have thought of this as well, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.
Are you going to kill someone just because of a few quarrels?
They couldn't believe there was such a person.
But Li Guihua quickly denied this guess: "Xu Qian and Qin Zhiping were in the yard all day today. It can't be them, right?"
Wu Yu also looked confused. There was no one else except them.
Wen Sihe was thinking about more things. From the books she read, Xu Qian had a very good relationship with the opposite sex, and many young men in the village were willing to help her with work.
Even Lu Yuan, the daughter of the village captain, later became the heroine's best friend.
Such a person can instruct many people to do this for her.
But without evidence, they had no other options.
In the afternoon, Wu Yu drank several cups of ginger soup, and after making sure that he did not have a fever, he prepared to go and thank Lu Zhenhua.
Li Guihua, Wen Sihe, Zhou Guoliang and others are all ready to follow.
But before they could reach Lu Zhenhua's house, Lu Zhenhua came over carrying a man.
This person was Er Gou. Lu Zhenhua grabbed him by the collar and he kept cursing, "Lu Zhenhua, you son of a bitch, why are you pulling me?"
Lu Zhenhua said nothing and threw Ergou to the gate of the educated youth center.
He looked at Wu Yu and said, "After I sent you here, I went back to the location of the ice hole and saw him sneaking around there, saying, 'No, this is where I dug the ice hole.'"
Upon hearing this, anyone who is not a fool will understand what it means.
They said, the river surface is fine, and the big hole doesn’t look like it was crushed by that young educated youth, right?
For a moment, both Wu Yu and the people who came out from the educated youth point to watch the fun, glared at Ergou!
A trace of guilt flashed across Ergou's face, but he quickly pretended to be calm and said, "My family wants to have some meat, and I want to see if there are any fish under the ice."
Lu Zhenhua said sternly: "Then you are destroying collective property! You will be arrested by the Revolutionary Committee!"
A trace of anger flashed in Xu Qian's eyes. What a fool! He insisted that if it wasn't him who chiseled it out, no one could do anything to him!
There was a hint of fear on Ergou's face, and he subconsciously looked in Xu Qian's direction.
His little action naturally did not escape Lu Zhenhua's eyes, and he looked at Xu Qian with sharp eyes.
Although Xu Qian was clever, she could not compare with Lu Zhenhua, who had actually been on the battlefield. With just a glance, Xu Qian shrank back a few steps.
Ergou couldn't bear to see his new goddess in this state, so he stiffened his neck and shouted, "She was the one who didn't look at the road and fell down. What does it have to do with me?"
Wu Yu's baby face turned red with anger. She said angrily: "Then report it to the police! I am sure I was pushed down! Report it to the police. I believe the police can give us the truth.
We are also investigating this comrade's crime of destroying collective property."
The people at the educated youth point had never seen the mild-mannered Wu Yu in such an aggressive manner.
But the fact is that when Ergou heard that he had to call the police, his legs went weak.
But he soon calmed down. No one saw this except his younger sister.
Even if the educated youth reported the matter to the police, it would still end in nothing.
