Yan Guoshu said in a trembling voice: "The rooms where people live are all locked, so they definitely can't get in.
That would leave only the few unoccupied rooms."
Zhou Lingye: "Which rooms are not occupied?"
Yan Guoshu quickly told him, "There are no people in the second and third houses in the left row, and the three houses in the right row.
I live in the first room on the left, and I haven't heard any movement from the two rooms next to me.
So the rooms in the right row are more likely to be there.”
Zhou Lingye gestured to his subordinates, "Captain Yan, did you lock the door when you left the room?"
"Locked."
Yan Guoshu nodded in confirmation, "I asked my wife to lock the door from the inside."
Zhou Lingye: "Do you have the keys to those empty rooms?"
Yan Guoshu was so nervous that he could only nod.
Those keys were tied together with the key to the front door, and were usually in the hands of Old Lady Yan, who was the one who locked the front door.
He came back late tonight and it was he who locked the front door, so the key is still in their room.
"Then go back to your room and give me the keys to those rooms.
Then lock the door, and no matter what noise is made in the yard, don't come out."
After Zhou Lingye finished speaking, he immediately walked towards the front yard.
Yan Guoshu also hurried back to the room and asked Song to open the door.
After he went in, he took the key and handed it to Zhou Lingye, then immediately closed and locked the door.
Yan Ning stood at the window and observed the movements outside.
When I saw those people planning to use the keys to open the doors one by one and search the empty rooms.
She twitched the corners of her mouth speechlessly.
If the person inside has a gun, these people are not afraid of being hit by a bullet the moment they open the door.
But there is no better way right now.
Zhou Lingye opened the lock of the first door, turned sideways to stand by the wall, and gently kicked the door open with his foot.
The person standing by the other wall shone the flashlight into the room, but there was no one there.
The furnishings in the room were simple, with a kang and a single wardrobe, that's all.
Zhou Lingye held the rifle in his hand, his index finger on the trigger, and walked step by step towards the wardrobe in the house.
He stood at the side of the wardrobe, and the person on the other side opened the wardrobe and shone a flashlight into the wardrobe.
No one.
Zhou Lingye left the first room and walked towards the second door.
Just as the door was unlocked, it was suddenly pulled open and a figure jumped out from inside and ran towards the gate of the courtyard.
The people around reacted quickly, and almost at the same time as the figure appeared, several people rushed over.
A group of people started fighting in the yard.
The spy was injured and was at a disadvantage after just a few moves.
In the end, he was outnumbered and was captured.
Zhou Lingye's two subordinates tied up the spy and took him out, while the others went to search other rooms.
After searching the empty rooms, it was confirmed that there was only one spy hiding in the Yan family yard.
Zhou Lingye signaled his subordinates to search other places in the village. He stood in the yard and shouted,
"Captain Yan, please come out and lock the door."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the first room on the left opened and Yan Guoshu walked out.
There was a lot of fighting in the yard just now. It seems that the spy was caught.
Yan Guoshu's heart finally settled down, "Captain Zhou, have you caught them all?"
Zhou Lingye's face was serious. "We only found one. The whereabouts of the other one are unknown. He may be somewhere else in the village.
Lock the door now and don't go out before daybreak."
As he said that, Zhou Lingye handed the key to Yan Guoshu and walked out the door.
Yan Guoshu ran over and locked the courtyard door, then ran back to the room and locked the door.
Seeing that the yard outside had returned to peace, Yan Ning entered the space and continued to sleep.
…
In the early morning, the crowing of roosters could be heard in the backyard.
Yan Ning woke up and looked at the time. It was only six o'clock.
She left the space, opened the door and walked out.
It was already daybreak and there was no one in the yard.
Old Master Yan and Yan Guoshu were sitting in the main hall talking about what happened last night.
Old Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Song were cooking breakfast in the kitchen.
Yan Ning took the basin and went to wash up, and after washing up, he went into the main room.
After breakfast is ready, the family sits at the table and eats breakfast.
"ah……"
Suddenly, a sharp and piercing scream came from the village in the distance.
The sound was not very clear when it reached the Yan family's yard.
But Yan Ning heard it clearly.
Yan Guoshu put down his bowl and chopsticks, his face heavy, "Did you hear the sound?"
Yan Ning: "I heard it. It was a scream coming from the village."
How frightened must one be to let out such an earth-shattering scream.
Yan Guoshu stood up and ran out in a hurry.
Old Master Yan and Old Lady Yan also stood up and walked outside.
When Yan Ning saw that everyone was going to watch the fun, she ran out as well to appear to fit in.
Several people rushed to the village from the foot of the mountain. On the way, they met many villagers walking towards the scene of the incident in the village.
Following the main group, we passed several intersections and finally arrived at the gate of a house with earthen walls and thatched roofs.
The entire courtyard entrance was surrounded by villagers who came to watch the fun.
Everyone was chattering.
Yan Ning followed Old Lady Yan out of the crowd and asked, "Grandma, whose house is this?"
"well!"
Old Madam Yan sighed, "This is the Zhiqingyuan, the courtyard where the educated youth who went to the countryside live."
Yan Ning raised his eyebrows.
Oh no!
Which unlucky guy got into trouble?
Could it be that the other spy who was not found last night is hiding in this Youth League compound?
Then he was accidentally discovered by some unlucky educated youth, and the spy killed him!
It shouldn't be the group of educated youth who arrived yesterday. She heard from her second uncle that there were seven of them in the new group.
Six people paid to rent the new house at the back.
Yan Guoshu stood outside the crowd and shouted, "Please make way...please make way, let me in and take a look."
The crowd all expressed dissatisfaction upon hearing this voice. "Who are you? Who wouldn't want to squeeze in and take a look? You just give way when I say so? You have no face..."
Everyone turned their heads and looked behind them...it turned out to be the captain.
It is true that the captain has face and his words are effective.
A path immediately made way through the crowd.
Yan Guoshu walked into the yard.
Yan Ning also benefited from this and entered the yard along with Old Man Yan and Old Lady Yan.
In the Youth League compound, Secretary Yan and Captain Wang were already there.
Secretary Yan was the first to arrive and had already sent someone to the brigade office to call the Public Security Bureau.
The Yan family lived far away, and Yan Guoshu was the last one to arrive.
Captain Wang and several militiamen guarded the gate of the courtyard, prohibiting villagers from running in to watch the fun and disrupting the work.
There were nine educated youths living in the educated youth compound. After Liu, the educated youth, was taken away by the police station and sent to the farm yesterday, there were eight left.
A new female educated youth moved in yesterday, so there are nine people living here in total.
At this time, there were only eight people standing in the yard.
