A little after three in the afternoon.
Yan Ning rode his bicycle back to the big willow tree.
When passing a crossroads in the village, I met four or five young strangers, men and women, standing at the crossroads looking around.
When those people saw Yan Ning passing by on a bicycle, they hurriedly called out to her.
"Hello comrade, can we ask you something?"
The person who spoke was a pretty girl with an oval face, clear eyes, a straight nose and pouty lips.
Upon closer inspection, she bears some resemblance to a female star from the 21st century.
Yan Ning looked at these people and judging from their clothes and temperament, they should be the educated youth who had just arrived today.
Yan Ning stepped on the brakes and stopped, looking at them without saying a word.
The educated youth Yin Qingyu who had just spoken took in Yan Ning's appearance and her eyes flickered. "Comrade, are you also an educated youth who went to the countryside?"
When these people saw Yan Ning's appearance and clothes, they all thought that she was also an educated youth who went to the countryside.
After all, the countryside is full of rustic girls. How could there be such a beautiful and fashionably dressed girl?
Yan Ning said calmly, "I'm not. If you have nothing to do, please move aside and don't block the road."
Han Peng, a young man standing at the back, stepped forward, looked at Yan Ning and said with a smile: "Comrade, we are young men who just arrived at the brigade today.
I want to go to the village to exchange some cabinets and basins. Do you know any furniture makers in the village?"
Yan Ning: "I don't know either."
She really didn't know. She had been in Daliushu for so long, but except for the last time when she was taken around the village by Old Lady Yan, she had never wandered around the village before.
Another young woman with two pigtails curled her lips.
"Aren't you from this village? How could you not know? You don't want to tell us!"
Yan Ning looked at the female educated youth with a stupid look.
If I really didn't want to tell you, why would I stop to bother with you?
Yan Ning ignored them and rode his bike around them and left.
Han Peng, who had just spoken, called out from behind: "Comrade, wait a moment, don't leave!"
When Yan Ning was no longer visible, Han Peng turned around and looked at the female educated youth unhappily.
"Yang Zhiqing, can you please think before you speak next time?
We finally met someone, and you offended her. Who can we ask for help now?"
Yang Xiujuan said nonchalantly, "This village is so big, it's not like she's the only one we'll meet. We can just look for her again."
Han Peng wanted to say something, but Yin Qingyu stepped out to smooth things over.
"Okay, okay, Han Zhiqing, let's split up and look for it. The three of us female Zhiqing will go this way.
Can you two male educated youth go over there?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at another male educated youth, Ye Yunze, who had remained silent.
Ye Yunze met her gaze and nodded, "Let's go, Han Zhiqing, let's go this way."
The two male educated youth went over there.
Yin Qingyu retracted her gaze and said to Yang Xiujuan and Shen Man, "Manman, Xiujuan, let's go too!"
The three of them walked towards the other end of the village.
Yang Xiujuan pulled at her pigtails, "Qingyu, that female comrade you mentioned just now, is she from this village?"
"I don't know, maybe!"
Yin Qingyu had a smile on her lips, and she gave people the feeling of a quiet lotus.
She recalled the appearance of the girl just now, and a sense of crisis arose in her heart.
I felt as if she had taken away something important from me.
But it was clearly the first time she and the girl just now met.
Why did she feel this way?
The three of them walked for a while on the road and met two little boys playing on the side of the road.
Yin Qingyu took out a few candies from her pocket and waved to the two children.
"Little brother, do you know where there is a furniture maker in this village?
I'll give you some candies, can you take me there?"
The older boy looked at the candy in her hand and licked his lips. "If we take you there, will you really give us candy?"
Yin Qingyu gave each of the two children two pieces of fruit candy, speaking in a gentle tone.
"Of course, you helped us, so these two candies are a reward for you, two each."
The two children took the candies and held them tightly in their hands.
The older boy looked at Yin Qingyu and said happily:
"Pretty sister, we'll take you to Grandpa Wang's house right now. Grandpa Wang is a carpenter who specializes in making furniture."
Yin Qingyu and the other two followed the two children to look at furniture.
…
Yan Ning had just returned to the yard and parked his bicycle by the wall.
Suddenly, there was a "bang".
A loud noise was heard from the back mountain.
Yan Ning was startled and shivered.
This is the sound of an explosion.
Is there a bomb in the back mountain?
Things have gotten out of hand. Could it be that there is a lair of those spies deep in the back mountains?
Yan Ning left the yard, walked around to the back and looked towards the back mountain.
Everyone in the village heard the loud noise.
Everyone at home came out to watch the fun.
Soon, many old people and children gathered at the foot of the mountain behind the Yan family's yard.
The younger laborers have all gone to work in the fields, otherwise there would be more people.
In fact, you can't see anything when you stand at the foot of the mountain.
One could only vaguely see a circle of soldiers standing guard on the hillside outside the back mountain.
But it is human nature to like watching the fun.
A group of people gathered at the foot of the mountain, chattering.
Not long after, Yan Guoshu, Secretary Yan and Captain Wang also hurried to the foot of the mountain.
Captain Wang led a team of militiamen to evacuate the crowd.
Yan Guoshu and Secretary Yan climbed halfway up the mountain.
Yan Ning stood at the back of the yard and watched for a while.
It was not until Yan Guoshu and Secretary Yan came down from halfway up the mountain that they hurried towards the brigade office.
She turned around and went back to the yard.
Around 6:30 in the evening.
Yan Guoshu hurried back to have dinner and then hurried out again.
After more than ten minutes, the loudspeaker above the center of the village sounded.
"Hello, hello, hello... hello... I am Yan Guoshu, the captain of the Daliushu Brigade. I have something important to inform everyone.
Please listen carefully to what I say, every member of the Daliushu Brigade.
From now on, if you are wandering outside, go home immediately and lock the door.
Go to the room and close the doors and windows to sleep. Do not go out if you hear any noise.
Those who have children please take good care of them. No one is allowed to go out.
Please note that this applies to everyone in the group. If anyone refuses to listen and insists on going out,
Whatever happens next is life or death, and you will bear the consequences yourself."
Then there was a deep silence in the air.
Those who were still walking slowly on the road in the village hurriedly ran towards their homes.
You have to run!
The captain said that if something happens, life or death is unpredictable.
In less than five minutes, there was no one on the entire Daliushu Road and the village fell into silence.
