When I opened the door, the anxious old branch secretary was outside.
When the courtyard door opened, the old Party Secretary's first question was, "Have Liuli and the others returned?"
"Yes!" Xu Erhua said and invited the person in.
The old branch secretary went straight to the house where Gu Xingwu lived, knocked on the door and found Chen Tie there.
"Old Party Secretary, it's so late, what's the matter?" Seeing that the old Party Secretary was breathing heavily, Chen Tie helped him sit down.
The old branch secretary looked at the two people who were safe and sound, and stretched his neck to look outside the door.
Chen Tie closed the door clearly and sat down next to the old branch secretary again.
"You two young comrades, what you did this time was too unfair. Fortunately, you are fine. If something had happened, how would I explain to the higher-ups?" The old branch secretary lowered his voice and spoke to the two of them.
Chen Tie knew that he had been too impulsive this time. He held the old Party Secretary's hand and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, we went because it was urgent. We won't do it next time."
"There will be a next time, Li Tie! Do you know that if your identities are exposed, Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua will also be in danger.
It seems that he can't stay in the village anymore. I have to discuss it with Luo Suo and find another place for him!" The old Party Secretary said earnestly.
Upon hearing the news, Gu Xingwu opened his mouth excitedly but didn't say a word.
He also knew that if his identity was exposed this time, both Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua would be in danger.
Chen Tie also became excited after hearing what the old Party Secretary said: "Don't worry, we will definitely not reveal our identities."
"It's better to be safe than sorry. You should stay at home for the next few days and don't go up the mountain with them. It's too boring. Just chop more firewood for them." The old branch secretary didn't know that the two were injured.
After saying this, the old branch secretary went to the kitchen to find Li Tingyun.
"Tingyun, you have to keep an eye on them these two days and don't let them go out." He instructed Li Tingyun.
"Okay!" Li Tingyun agreed.
"If there's nothing wrong, just let them chop a few more loads of firewood." The old branch secretary said again.
Li Tingyun was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that the old branch secretary didn't know that the two bastards were injured.
Chop wood, chop a ball!
It would be nice if she could waste less of her medicine.
After the old branch secretary finished speaking, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
Xu Erhua was worried that the old branch secretary would walk at night, so she took Heifeng and chased after him and sent him back home.
Thinking about the dream, Li Tingyun had no choice but to go to Gu Xingwu's room.
Seeing Li Tingyun coming, Gu Xingwu and Chen Tie both stood up. They knew they were in the wrong and did not want to implicate Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua.
"I had a dream again. The female educated youth told me that Li Qiang was related to Widow Li from Mingyuan Village. Li Qiang must have committed murder. When you go back, investigate the matter of Widow Li thoroughly." Li Tingyun finished what he wanted to say and turned to leave.
Gu Xingwu knew that Li Tingyun was very angry this time. He wanted to explain something but was pulled back by Chen Tie.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow, after she calms down." Chen Tie was worried that if Gu Xingwu went there at this time, he would not only be scolded, but might even be beaten.
Gu Xingwu frowned and looked at Chen Tie: "Is this how you get along with your partner?"
"Yes!" Chen Tie nodded.
"Do you think it's right?" Gu Xingwu asked.
"What's wrong with that? I'm just angry!" Chen Tie felt that he was not wrong.
"Then why did it fail in the end?" Gu Xingwu's words touched upon Chen Tie's old wound.
Chen Tie was suddenly speechless.
After a while, he came to his senses and said, "We didn't break up because of these things. It was because we were apart more often than we were together, so her family found her a partner with a more stable job."
Gu Xingwu also knew that their work was special and it was very difficult to find a partner.
The Chen family must have been worried sick about Chen Tie, but they couldn't keep him after all.
Thinking of this, he thought of another thing and had to remind Chen Tie: "I'm telling you, don't look for a substitute when your feelings are hurt and hurt others!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have time to think about these things. You know I'm so busy that I have to go to the toilet quickly." Chen Tie was very dissatisfied when he heard this.
"What about Xu Erhua?" Gu Xingwu reminded Chen Tie, then warned: "I can't control others, but Tingyun and Erhua have been taking care of me these days. I treat Erhua as my sister, and she is Tingyun's best friend. If you dare to bully her, you can expect my fists!"
"How, how is it possible, we... no... it's impossible..." When Chen Tie said this, he felt inexplicably guilty and lowered his head.
"If you don't have such intentions towards her, then keep your distance so that she won't think too much. Every time she sees you, she acts like she's seeing a big red envelope. You'd better be careful." After saying this, Gu Xingwu lay down on the bed and fell asleep in five seconds.
Chen Tie wanted to make some excuses when he heard Gu Xingwu's snoring.
He stood up, opened the door of the room, and looked through the crack in the door. He just happened to see Xu Erhua who had come back from outside and was tidying up the yard.
At this moment, he felt inexplicably confused.
Xu Erhua didn't notice that someone was looking at her. She yawned, packed up the firewood in the yard, and hurried back to sleep.
Li Tingyun waited until everyone fell asleep, closed the door and entered the space.
After taking a comfortable hot bath, she lay on the soft sofa, her mind full of Gu Xingwu.
Bah! Bah! Bah!
You haven't even made any money, why are you so excited?
She turned back to the cold bed, looked at the shabby place, sighed deeply, and fell asleep in a daze.
…
The next morning, Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua carried their backpacks and left the yard without waking the two of them up.
When they were leaving, Xu Erhua asked, "Is it okay for them not to have breakfast?"
"For someone who can go without food for several days, what's the big deal about not eating breakfast for one day? You, don't be soft-hearted, these two guys have gone too far this time." After Li Tingyun finished speaking, his steps became much faster.
She felt that she could accept taking risks herself, but not Xu Erhua. With Xu Erhua's current abilities, if she encountered those enemy spies, she would have an estimated 80% chance of death. She didn't want to implicate Xu Erhua.
Xu Erhua had never experienced such a thing before, and just thought that Tingyun and Gu Xingwu were having a quarrel.
When Li Tingyun and the others arrived at the construction site, He Fei and Erniu also arrived. They gave the medicine they found yesterday to Mr. Tang.
Mr. Tang quickly boiled the medicine and distributed it to the comrades who had caught a cold.
"Tingyun, Erhua, why don't you take a day off? It's too difficult to climb the mountain." One of the comrades advised.
Li Tingyun listened to the series of coughs and shook his head, saying, "No, there's still a section of road that hasn't been completed. The wind is too strong here, and we must be prepared for the cold."
"Let's go. We're going to walk into the mountains today. All the mountains outside have been dug." He Fei actually felt a headache when he thought of those mountain roads.
