The militia captain frowned and asked in a rough voice: "Didn't you hear any noise in the middle of the night?
If a normal person lies in a basin of water and can't breathe, he or she will struggle, right?
"We are in the same room, so it's impossible not to hear any noise, right?"
He asked three questions in a row, shocking Liu Lili so much that her body trembled.
"I, I, Comrade Wang Qingshan and I are already husband and wife, and he has been making too much trouble recently.
I often go to bed early, and I don’t know why, but I always feel tired.”
These words made the other people at the educated youth site blush subconsciously. After all, they were all unmarried young people, and they felt a little shy when they suddenly heard these words.
The militia captain swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He turned his head to look at Secretary He and Captain Lu, asking for their opinions with his eyes.
Captain Lu smoked his pipe and looked up at Niu Liye and the others, asking: "Did anyone else you fired earlier hear any noise last night?
Who is the person who lives closest to their house?"
Zhang Zhiqing took a deep breath and raised his hand: "There is an empty room between Comrade Liu Lili and I.
I have been helping Li Zhiqing with the dowry matters these past two days. I was so exhausted that I went to bed early.
I didn’t hear any special noises…”
After thinking it over again and again, Zhang Zhiqing still didn't tell anyone what he heard last night when someone went out to fetch water.
First of all, she was not sure who the person fetching water was. What if it was Wang Zhiqing?
If she told this story, not only would it cause trouble for Liu Lili, but she would also get herself into trouble.
If it was Liu Lili, it would be even more frightening. If Liu Lili blamed everything on her, then she would be the one to be blamed.
Captain Lu's eyes flashed with deep thought, and he stared straight at Liu Lili.
Liu Lili felt a flash of panic in her heart, but she quickly calmed down.
There are only two of them in the whole room. Don't be afraid, nothing will happen.
She comforted herself in this way in her heart. Her calm appearance made Captain Lu hesitate for a moment.
Liu Lili raised her head, looked at everyone, and said with sobs: "We have no hope of returning to the city now. Wang Zhiqing and I have supported each other for so long that we have developed some feelings for each other.
Some time ago we were discussing having a child.
Who knew that something like this would happen to him today?
If I had known this would happen, I would never have let him drink... woohoo, it's all my fault."
What she said was so heartfelt that people around her couldn't help but come forward to comfort her.
"Alas, everyone has their own destiny. My neighbor choked on a steamed bun and tried drinking water, but it didn't help. He choked to death.
Who can you turn to for justice? Alas, life is so fragile sometimes. "
"Yes, Liu Zhiqing, don't be sad. No one wants something like this to happen."
The educated youths' words of comfort gradually dispelled the suspicions of Captain Lu and the militia captain.
Since the educated youth all stood on Liu Lili's side, it meant that the couple had a good relationship.
Captain Lu waved his hand tiredly: "Since it is an accident, let's send a telegram to inform their families.
Let's see whether we should leave it in our back hill or burn it to ashes and let them take it away?"
Liu Lili was very excited, but she pretended to be sad and whispered, "Okay, I'll go to the county with the ox cart later.
Wang Zhiqing had previously told me his home address and the telephone number of his parents’ factory.
Captain Lu nodded, put his pipe on his waist, and said in a deep voice: "Then let's go, shall we?
This matter has been defined as such. To prevent any negative impact, please do not talk nonsense in the village."
Captain Lu said this because he had his own plans.
Three educated youth who went to the countryside died in succession. Although they were all accidents, it would not sound good if the news got out.
If they investigate further, the Youth League Office will cause trouble for him.
It’s better to have less trouble and deal with it early.
Secretary He shared the same idea, and the two of them walked out with their hands behind their backs.
Secretary He scratched his hair and said with a worried look, "Ah, I really don't know what's going on with this educated youth camp.
I think in the future, we should select a female educated youth as the team leader, and then select a male educated youth as the team leader.
We need to strengthen management. People come from far away to cut in line, and then they lose their lives in an accident. It is always uncomfortable to see people feel uncomfortable. "
Captain Lu also agreed with his statement: "If the educated youth can't get enough food and want to starve, let them do it."
At this time, in the educated youth center, Niu Liye felt sympathy for Wang Qingshan, but at the same time, he felt that it was unlucky for such a thing to happen on his engagement day.
He thought about it again and again, then turned and walked towards Lu Zhiye's house.
Early in the morning, the educated youth site was in a commotion, and Lu Zhiye and Wen Sihe were also awake.
The door was not closed, so Niu Liye pushed it open and walked in.
He approached Lu Zhiye mysteriously and whispered, "Brother Lu, you are quite familiar with the family next door. I heard that they often babysit your children.
Do you know that old lady well?"
Lu Zhiye looked up in surprise: "What do you want to do with Old Madam Fang?"
"I heard she's good at both. Look, on my happy day, someone's dying.
Why don't you go and get rid of the bad luck? Can you go and say a few words for me?"
Lu Zhiye understood, but he did not agree immediately.
After all, this is feudal superstition. If it gets out, it will not be good for the old lady.
As if seeing his hesitation, Niu Liye quickly raised his hand and swore to the sky: "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone about this.
Once I walk out this door, I won't remember anything.
Brother Lu, please help me, I am really panicking. "
Lu Zhiye nodded and said, "Then wait here for a while. I'll go see if the old lady has gotten up yet."
Niu Liye nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Okay, okay, okay."
He sat upright on the stool with the posture of an elementary school student, and the miserable situation of Wang Qingshan kept echoing in his mind.
I looked up at the dim sky and saw the dark clouds not far away, like a ghost with its bloody mouth open.
Niu Liye shuddered subconsciously, and he quickly walked to the kitchen, cursing: "Hey, Xiao Wen, let me help you light the fire."
He would never admit that he went into the kitchen, where there was fire, out of fear.
Wen Sihe was making scrambled eggs with chili peppers and was choking on by the peppers.
He waved his hands and said, "It's too choking in this room, Niu Zhiqing, please go out first."
