The year 1976 can be described as a year of upheaval and devastation. Three great men passed away suddenly, and the July 28 earthquake struck the country. But amidst all this pain there was also hope, because on October 6, the Group of Four was arrested, and the Cultural Revolution came to an end.

When the news came, the whole country rejoiced. Workers, farmers, students, and cadres were all happy and encouraged.

They have finally taken off their shackles and no longer have to worry about being criticized every day. They can fight against anyone they dislike with revolutionary slogans.

Although the central government did not release any news about educated youth and labor reform personnel, educated youth who wanted to return to the city, cadres who had been demoted, and intellectuals who wanted to restore their status all began to take action if they had connections. Some local governments also began to take appropriate actions, conditionally transferring some of the most popular personnel back to their original units.

Shanshui Farm is no exception.

The number of people living on the farms, including those from various regions of the province, county towns, communes and even the provincial capital, is increasing and needs to be diverted. Some people who are obviously wrongly convicted, factionalized, petty theft, fighting, etc., as long as they are not charged with counter-revolution, espionage, murder, etc., can be released at their discretion after three years of labor reform.

As soon as the news came out, many people started to try to find a way through using their connections.

However, Han Qinghua fell in love and didn't want to leave.

He had already reached the age limit, but he had gotten used to the pace of life here. Apart from working and attending meetings to report his thoughts, no one scolded him. In the end, he didn't even want to go home and forgot about his parents.

After labor reform, the originally lazy and unlaboring gangster grew into a strong man with good looks. Now he is even more handsome and is deeply loved by the women on the farm.

He is not a man who can keep his promise, nor does he have the idea that he cannot sleep with women unless he is married. As long as someone takes the initiative to find him, he will not refuse. But it is impossible for him to be responsible. Everyone is willing, and no one should blame anyone else.

So I feel like a fish in water and feel more comfortable here than going back to Shanzui Village.

Can you look at girls casually when you return to Shanzui Village? Can you sleep with anyone casually? Even if someone likes him, he has to consider the reputation of the old Han family.

Laogai farms are different.

There were a lot of people here, most of them were victims of the Cultural Movement, with no real crime, just like the educated youth who went to the countryside. But they didn't have a free life, they were not allowed to get married, and not all men and women could stand the loneliness, many even lived together openly, with several couples living in one room, and some had children who were several years old.

The detention continued, but the farm's revolutionary committee later stopped caring about it. After all, the serious criminals were detained separately, and the others did not interfere with the farm's work. As a result, some people were more comfortable, such as Han Qinghua, who was a popular commodity.

There is no farm work in the winter. Those with good skills are called upon to weave mats and cloth, and those who have nothing to do can sit out the winter.

After breakfast, Han Qinghua planned to go talk to Fan Yikun, play cards, listen to the radio, and have some fun.

Before he could leave, Han Jinyu came to find him.

"Sister, what's wrong with your face?" He saw two marks on Han Jinyu's face.

Han Jinyu's face was gloomy. "I had a fight with a loser."

"Who are you fighting with?" Han Qinghua looked outside. "I'll help you beat him up."

Han Jinyu snorted coldly, "Qin Lixin! Go beat her up!"

Han Qinghua was stunned. "Yuchan is such a generous person, why are you fighting with her?"

"She's hooking up with your brother-in-law, why can't I fight with her?" Han Jinyu was furious.

"Okay, go ahead and beat him if you can beat him. I tell you, she doesn't care about any man on this farm. You seduced your man, sister, you should be clear-headed. Isn't your brother-in-law not okay? Why did Qin Yuchan seduce him? Don't let your imagination run wild."

"You know nothing!" Han Jinyu was furious and became even angrier when he saw that his brother didn't help him.

"Where is my nephew?" Han Qinghua remembered.

"Where is Teacher Fan playing?"

Han Qinghua pulled her and said, "Let's go to Teacher Fan to listen to stories."

When he was walking with Han Jinyu, he met Qin Yuchan on the road. She had changed her name to Qin Lixin, but after the Cultural Revolution ended, she didn't mind using her original name. Many men preferred to call her Yuchan because she was charming and seductive, and this name sounded more charming.

"Sister Jinyu, are you still angry with me?" Qin Yuchan came up and took Han Jinyu's hand.

Han Jinyu tried to shake her off, but was held tightly by Qin Yuchan.

Qin Yuchan smiled charmingly and whispered, "I'm acting with you. If it's not realistic, how can that silly donkey believe it?"

Now Qin Haozhe and Pan Shinong are both imprisoned here. They are treated the same as Zhao Anpin, and are considered serious criminals. They cannot move around freely, enter and leave at will, and cannot meet outsiders at will.

Everything they do is monitored by Zhang Heilu and Luo Haijun.

Luo Haijun is Luo Haicheng's cousin. He only listens to Han Qingsong and his cousin and keeps a close eye on Liu Haozhe.

Qin Yuchan's situation was special. Although she still lived here, once the Cultural Revolution was over, the charges against them would be slowly dropped. After all, she had never done anything bad. She just had a bad family background and was the granddaughter of a capitalist.

So her actions were not restricted, and now that the Cultural Revolution was over, she could move around more freely.

Han Jinyu snorted, "What do you want to do with my man?"

Qin Yuchan pursed her lips and smiled: "Oh, do you think I want to seduce your man?" She was talking to Han Jinyu, but she gave Han Qinghua a seductive look, which made Han Qinghua's bones almost soft.

Han Jinyu was unhappy to see that she was interested in her brother, but it was good that she didn't have such thoughts about Liu Haozhe, "If you have anything to say, tell me."

Qin Yuchan whispered something in her ear.

Han Jinyu looked at her in surprise, "Let Liu Haozhe report Teacher Fan? He and Teacher Fan are not in contact now!"

"It's easier to get things done if we don't have any contact."

Han Jinyu hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll find a chance to ask." Liu Haozhe used to be Teacher Fan's student, but now they don't interact with each other. After all, Liu Haozhe has a special status, so everyone avoids him.

The next day, Luo Haicheng received a call from his cousin. After hanging up, he went to find Han Qingsong immediately.

Han Qingsong has been very busy and a little annoyed recently. Other counties always invite him to attend exchange meetings and ask him to share his experience, which causes him to sleep outside for several days.

Luo Haicheng: "Director Han, Liu Haozhe reported that Fan Yikun was in their group, probably with Wang Guoan. Fan Yikun was the vice-principal of the county middle school and taught them."

After listening to Luo Haicheng's report, Han Qingsong said, "Let's wait and see what happens."

Luo Haicheng understood and called his cousin back.

Han Qingsong went to have lunch with Lin Lan. She is now the deputy director of the Propaganda Office and has trained several deputies, so her work is not too busy.

Dawang came over while we were eating.

He is almost as tall as his father now, and can now wear Han Qingsong's old military uniform. Even without the collar badges and epaulettes, he still looks very imposing.

Lin Lan waved at him, "Son, go get your own meal."

Da Wang came over with his meal. In winter, it was usually radish, cabbage, tofu, pumpkin, etc., but this time it had more oil and water than in previous years, and there were also slices of meat in it. The chef who served the meal was very fond of the children of Lin Lan's family. Every time they came, he would serve an extra spoonful of food, which must have several slices of meat in it.

There is chili sauce in the cafeteria, and giving him a spoonful of it will enhance the taste.

Lin Lan saw that Da Wang only took four steamed buns, which must not be enough, so she gave him one of her own and said, "Mom, one is enough."

This child now has to eat seven or eight steamed buns this big to be full. I don’t know how his stomach is built. She is worried that he will be full.

Seeing that she looked very worried about him, Da Wang decided not to tell her that he had actually eaten at school, and he lowered his head and ate in silence.

After dinner, the three of them went out for a walk.

Da Wang said to Han Qingsong and Lin Lan, "Dad, Mom, I received a call from our military sub-district."

Lin Lan: “What?”

"They want me to join the army. I'll be a non-commissioned officer." He had been trained in the recruit company before and participated in the elite selection of the recruit company. His performance was outstanding and he had been targeted for a long time. If Lin Lan hadn't asked him to come back and study hard for two years, the army would have kept him.

Lin Lan couldn't hide her pride, "My eldest son is awesome! It's not easy for others to become conscripts, but my eldest son is wanted by the army. If you are a gem, everyone will rush to dig you up. The leader of the army has good vision, and I have to give him a thumbs up."

Da Wang thought of his mother's box of gem chess pieces and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

She looked at Han Qingsong: "Third brother, what do you think?"

Han Qingsong: "As long as I like it, it's fine."

Da Wang looked at Lin Lan and said, "Mom, should I go?"

Lin Lan: “Not yet.”

Dawang: “?”

That's why they praise him for this and that, and praise the leader for his vision.

Lin Lan: "My eldest son, now that the Cultural Revolution is over, do you think you can go to college? I think if you go there now, you will be a non-commissioned officer. If you go to college first and then go, you might even be a lieutenant." She gave Han Qingsong a meaningful look.

Han Qingsong: “…”

Is it so easy to get a lieutenant now? Back then, he went through life and death...

Da Wang was moved and looked at Han Qingsong, feeling that he was being a little unfair.

He graduated from university and became a lieutenant. His father worked very hard...

Lin Lan chuckled, "That's why knowledge is power, and technology is the primary productive force! How can we be a great country without a shortage of people? Even if you are amazing, one in a hundred, there are still many people among hundreds of millions of people. Only when knowledge and skills are combined, you will be irreplaceable. Come on, my eldest son!"

Da Wang was taught a lesson by his mother again, and his mind was a little confused. However, like Han Qingsong, he was very upset, but he acted as if nothing had happened, letting himself digest it slowly.

Han Qingsong glanced at Lin Lan and knew that she must have "dreamed" about something again. He said, "Joining the army can also recommend you to go to university."

Da Wang also nodded and looked at Lin Lan.

Lin Lan said slowly: "How many of the people I recommended to go to university are useful? Can their value be compared?"

Take the children who went to school after the education reform during the Cultural Revolution. The level of knowledge acquired by many high school graduates was not as good as that of primary school graduates, let alone a stable level of education in the future.

She asked Han Qingsong what the training route for Da Wang was, and he was told that it was nothing more than actual combat, technology, and command. He would start with basic combat skills, then be recommended to go to university to learn some professional knowledge, then return to the actual combat team, and go for further studies in his thirties to develop command capabilities.

This is of course the most ideal way, but she feels that since her son can take the college entrance examination next year, she still hopes that he can take it.

Da Wang looked at Han Qingsong.

Han Qingsong said: "If the army can recommend you to go to university, they will definitely let you take the exam."

Lin Lan nodded: "Your father is right, it's just that the eldest son has to work harder. It's also very hard to join the army and not fall behind in study."

She originally wanted to give her son an easy ride, but the child obviously didn't like taking the easy route.

Da Wang stopped and said seriously, "I will." He said goodbye and went back to school.

When he reached the outer wall of the school, he suddenly heard a girl's cry for help from the northeast, and he immediately ran over.

There is a long alley near the textile factory, and there are fewer people during normal working hours.

He saw a few ruffian youths surrounding a frail girl and ripping her clothes with a playful smile on their faces.

Da Wang frowned and said coldly: "Get lost!"

"Who do you think you are? Let us go! You are attracted to this girl!"

"That's right. The Cultural Revolution is over. How can you think we can still criticize people?"

Dawang: "The crime of hooliganism is not determined by the Cultural Revolution."

Two young men saw that he was alone and were not satisfied with his meddling in other people's business, so they started to fight him, "Brother, want to fight?"

Da Wang was too lazy to talk to them, so he kicked the hooligans to the ground without even moving his hands.

"Boss, Boss, we don't dare to call you Boss anymore!"

Da Wang ignored them and turned away.

The girl timidly chased after him, "Han Wangguo, thank you, thank you."

When Da Wang heard her calling his name, he lowered his head to look at her. She seemed familiar.

"I'm He Cai, Cai Hua." Cai Hua looked up at him, "Don't you recognize me? We are both from Shanzui Village and we are classmates." She couldn't help but look disappointed, "You guys forgot about us after you entered the city."

She called him Uncle Dawang according to their generation, but after moving to the city, they liked to call him Uncle Dawang.

Da Wang is not the kind of meticulous and considerate person. He forgot all about the cauliflower and cauliflower when he went to the city, and he didn't even remember you in the village.

"oh."

Da Wang turned and left.

Cauliflower didn't expect him to be so unkind. Was he stupid or too heartless? She shouted, "I'm here to tell you something important."

Dawang stopped and looked back at her, "Tell me?"

Caihua nodded and said seriously, "You must remember this. If you meet a woman named Lu Jingya, be careful of her. She will kill you."

"How do you know?"

"Do you believe me when I say I have the ability to predict the future?"

"Did you foresee the trouble that just happened?"

"It's not worth the effort for such a small matter. Besides, even if I knew, I would still have to deliver the letter to you."

Da Wang: "Anyway, thank you." He turned and went back to school.

Looking at his indifferent back, Caihua stamped her feet in anger. She knew that Dawang was boring and arrogant, but she didn't expect him to be like this. If someone says that you will be killed by someone, shouldn't you ask clearly? But why doesn't he have curiosity!

She was not afraid that Da Wang would blame her for being superstitious, because he never complained to anyone. Besides, the Public Security Bureau would not care about such a small matter. Originally, it was under the jurisdiction of the brigade's revolutionary committee, but Shanzui Village did not manage it strictly before. The old ladies in the village often called for spirits to collect and scare away evil spirits. She just said that spirit communication was nothing, not to mention that the Cultural Revolution had already ended.

She had been dealing with these things since she was 35 years old in her previous life, so bringing them up now was just child's play.

She had specially paved the ground when she was a child, and Yanyan and other children believed it. Even the adults around her thought that she could really predict things through psychic communication.

Haha, now she is here to put a thorn in their hearts.

Da Wang was naturally curious, but his curiosity was not enough to overcome his self-control. Chattering and asking people questions was the last thing he wanted to do.

If you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. If anyone wants to harm you, you have to figure out why.

When he returned to campus, Gao Ling came running to him and said, "Han Wangguo, hurry up and save the situation. This is too weird."

Da Wang glanced at him and said, "I'm busy."

At this time, Mai Sui and Er Wang also ran over to find him, "Brother, there is a student who has returned from our school. He is really good at playing basketball."

They dragged Da Wang to see it.

Da Wang is tall, and he saw from a distance a tall and slender figure playing basketball with a group of male classmates on the basketball court.

Although she was a girl, the male classmates could not defend her at all. When she made a three-point shot, one side of them cheered enthusiastically while the other side hung their heads in despair.

He nodded. "That's a pretty good fight."

Gao Ling: "You must be better than her, right?"

Da Wang looked at him strangely and said, "She is a woman." What's so great about being better than a woman?

However, Gao Ling and his friends no longer considered her a woman, because she was more powerful than any man.

They urged Da Wang to go up, but Da Wang sneered and turned away, as he hadn't figured out his own business yet.

Erwang and Maisui also followed Dawang back. They were already in the first semester of their second year of high school and would graduate next summer. Although the Cultural Revolution was over, the education system had not been reformed. After graduation, they could not directly apply to universities and had to work in the countryside for three years. However, Maisui and Erwang were not worried because they both felt that their mother was right. The Cultural Revolution was over and the college entrance examination would definitely be reformed.

Of course, these thoughts will never be told to anyone else.

During the second class in the afternoon, the political group of the school’s Revolutionary Committee came to talk to Da Wang.

Although the Cultural Revolution was over, institutions such as the Revolutionary Committee were still in place and had not been rectified, though they were slightly more relaxed than before.

Da Wang went to the political office and met a girl in the corridor. She was wearing an old military uniform. She was tall and fair-skinned, with a faint smile on her face.

He took one look at her and recognized her as the girl playing basketball on the playground.

"You are Han Wangguo. Are you interested in a competition? They say you are very good." She said with a smile.

Da Wang decisively refused.

"You are afraid of losing face if you lose to me." She used provocation.

At this time, the political director shouted, "Han Wangguo, Lu Jingya, you two come in."

Lu Jingya?

Da Wang frowned slightly and subconsciously lowered his eyes to look at her. Coincidentally, Lu Jingya was also looking at him and smiled at him.

Lu Jingya: "Classmate Han Wangguo, I don't know why, but you look familiar to me. Have we met before?"

Dawang: “No impression.”

Lu Jingya smiled and went into the office with him.

The political director smiled and said, "The army is selecting outstanding soldiers from all over the country. You are all invited. Report after the Spring Festival. Young people, be full of energy."

He was mobilizing them, and he thought they would be very unhappy. Being a soldier is very popular now, especially when you become a non-commissioned officer, many people envy you.

Lu Jingya looked at Dawang, "Han Wangguo, are you going?"

Da Wang was about to say something, but he didn't say it directly this time, "I need to discuss it with my parents."

The political director smiled and said, "What is there to discuss? I'll be happy to help you." He then said to Lu Jingya, "You took a year off and didn't even start the first year of high school. Now you're going straight to the second year of high school. Can you keep up?"

Lu Jingya smiled, a little embarrassed, "I can't really keep up, it's a bit hard to learn."

The political director said to Da Wang, "Han Wangguo, you three brothers and sisters are all good students. You can help Lu Jingya with her lessons when you have time. By the way, she is a great athlete with excellent physical fitness. She was also selected by the army. You can learn from each other."

Lu Jingya turned to face Dawang and held out her hand to him. "Han Wangguo, hello. My name is Lu Jingya."

Da Wang looked at the hand she stretched out, which was slender and white, but not delicate. He was not very good at physical contact with young girls.

Lu Jingya shook her hand, not embarrassed or angry because of his hesitation, and said openly: "Just to get to know each other, shaking hands is the minimum etiquette, what do you want?"

Da Wang reached out his hand and shook hers, "Hello."

Lu Jingya tilted her head, her eyes particularly bright due to her excellent physical fitness, "Han Wangguo, are you usually so cold, or are you just being cold to me?"

Although Da Wang was often peeped at or followed by girls, no one dared to ask him so bluntly.

He said, "That's what I am."

The political director smiled and said, "Since you two are talking so well, it's settled. Han Wangguo, you help Lu Jingya with his homework, and then you can go to the army together."

Da Wang was about to refuse, but Lu Jingya thanked him, "Thank you, teacher, and thank you, Han Wangguo."

After leaving the teacher's office, Da Wang walked back with a blank expression.

Lu Jingya smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't pester you to help me with my homework. I can find other classmates. We have study groups in our school, and Han Maisui is the best."

Da Wang frowned slightly, "I can help you make up for it."

"Really? Thank you so much." Lu Jingya bowed to him, "Then I will ask you questions after class, at noon or in the evening after school."

Dawang: “All is fine.”

Then they both went back to their classrooms.

Da Wang and his classmates are still in Class 1, but Lu Jingya is in Class 2.

No matter what Caihua meant, he had to understand why Caihua said that and who this Lu Jingya was.

Although he thought there was nothing wrong with Lu Jingya, since someone said that, he couldn't help but take it to heart.

Da Wang didn't want her to come into contact with his sister until he was sure she was safe.

Then he thought that Cauliflower also had a problem, but he was not good at interacting with girls alone.

After thinking about it, he asked Mai Sui and Er Wang to pick up Xiao Wang from the junior high school after school, while he went to the textile factory.

Da Wang went straight to find Shen Yu.

Shen Yu was debugging a machine in the workshop. A group of young female textile workers surrounded him, chattering and making a lot of noise, which was a headache for him.

"Mr. Shen, how old are you? You still don't have a date?"

"Mr. Shen, are you and Liu Yanyan dating?"

"Mr. Shen, let me introduce one to you."

…

Da Wang leaned against the door frame of the workshop with his arms folded. Soon someone saw him and came over to ask him.

Da Wang tapped Shen Yu with his chin and said, "Looking for Engineer Shen."

The weaver girl smiled and said, "You are still a student."

Da Wang nodded, not very enthusiastically.

The female worker did not go to look for Shen Yu. Instead, she took a mop and started mopping the floor. She looked at Da Wang after mopping, and then looked at Da Wang after mopping.

Liu Yanyan came over when she saw it and said, "Wait, I'll go and help you shout."

She ran over, "Brother Shen Yu, Brother Da Wang is looking for you." She was now talking to Lin Mei, calling her Aunt Lin Lan.

Shen Yu turned his head and looked, "Come right away."

He tightened the nut and said, "Okay, just adjust it. Xiao Wu, you keep an eye on it." He gave his apprentice some instructions and went to find Da Wang with Yanyan.

Two female workers were sneering at the back, "You said you didn't have a date, but you keep calling him Brother Shen Yu, Brother Shen Yu. We call him Brother Shen Yu, but why did he insist on calling him Engineer Shen?"

"They are from the same village."

"Then He Cai and they are from the same village."

"He Cai also called him Brother Shen Yu, didn't you hear that? She called him even sweeter. Oh, and He Cai went to his dormitory at night, did you know that?"

“Is this true?”

"That little vixen didn't just go to Shen Gong's dormitory, he also went to other people's dormitories. Let me tell you..."

Shen Yu had motor oil on his hands, so he said to Da Wang, "Go outside, I'll wash my hands."

Yanyan glanced at them and said, "Then I'll get busy."

Shen Yu nodded: "Go."

When Da Wang and Shen Yu went out, the workers on the road respectfully called them Engineer Shen and showed him special respect.

In the first half of the year, the director didn't like him for some reason and assigned him many tasks that others seemed to be unable to complete. Who would have thought that Shen Yu not only did not complain, but took over the tasks and explored them bit by bit, and finally completed them all successfully. Now, everyone in the factory, from technicians to workers and even many cadres, admires him.

They had always thought highly of him, and now it had been proven that they had a good eye, so Shen Yu had now gained the respect of everyone in the textile factory with his abilities.

Da Wang and Shen Yu went for a stroll in a less crowded place. There was a shady avenue behind the textile factory. Now the leaves of the trees had all fallen off, and the ground was bare, with a very wide view.

"What do you want to say?" Shen Yumin felt that Da Wang had a question to ask.

Da Wang nodded: "Cauliflower..." He thought about it, thinking about how to ask.

Shen Yu was startled, thinking that he had taken a fancy to Cauliflower, and asked hurriedly, "What's the matter?"

"Is she a little abnormal?"

Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was too nervous. He smiled and said, "What's wrong? Why is it abnormal?"

Da Wang hesitated for a moment, and thought it was pointless to tell him, so he told him about Lu Jingya.

Shen Yu's face became serious, and he whispered: "You are right to doubt, I also think she is not normal." Shen Yu is not a person who likes to gossip about others, so he has never told anyone about Caihua's affairs. But now that she has gone to harass Da Wang, he can't just sit back and do nothing. For him, now besides his deceased mother and uncle, Lin Lan's family is the people he cherishes most.

I heard that Caihua claimed to be able to tell fortunes and could even predict that the factory would be recruiting workers, so I knew Yanyan would also come to the factory.

Da Wang glanced at Shen Yu and asked, "Is she really good at fortune-telling?"

Shen Yu shook his head: "I haven't confirmed this either. She makes people feel uncomfortable, so I tried to have less contact with her." Not only did he have less contact with Caihua, he also helped Yanyan avoid her harassment as much as possible. Although Yanyan was estranged from her, they were from the same village after all, and they were good sisters when they were young, so Caihua would still go to find Yanyan.

Da Wang thought for a moment and said, "I understand. I'll go back first."

Shen Yu: "Let's eat together. The food in our cafeteria is quite delicious."

Da Wang: “Forget it.” If he were to stay for dinner, Shen Yu would become poor.

"Brother Shen Yu, Han Wangguo, what are you talking about?" Caihua ran over from a distance.

Da Wang and Shen Yu exchanged looks. He said lazily and nonchalantly, "I ran into some trouble."

Caihua glanced at him and knew what was going on. She reminded him. He might not believe it at first, but when he saw Lu Jingya on campus, he couldn't help but wonder. She sneered and was proud in her heart. No matter what elite troops or underworld bosses you are, you will be played in the palm of my hand!

At this time in her previous life, she was still working for Liu Haozhe, struggling at the bottom, and had no experience at all. She had no qualifications to see Dawang, who was taken away by his ancestors, nor Lu Jingya. Later, she worked for a few years, saved money and had connections. After the reform and opening up, many nouveau riche bosses appeared in the local area. She hooked up with a boss and gave birth to a son. Only then did she leave this business because of her son.

Unfortunately, God is so cruel to her!

Although she was not sure why she saw Lu Jingya here at this time, after all, they were both immortal in their previous lives. Maybe it was the effect of her rebirth! So Han Qingsong was saved by herself, hum!

Thinking of this, Cauliflower's heart became even colder. She would not repeat the same mistake in this life. Men were just her tools. She was the only one who manipulated them, and no one could control her.

"Um... can I help?" Caihua looked around and whispered, "I don't have any special skills, but I am born with the ability to... communicate with spirits. I can help you ask. But you, you must keep it a secret and don't betray me, otherwise I will be in trouble." She looked at Dawang worriedly, afraid that he would be arrested by her and taken to the police station.

Of course she knew that Da Wang would disdain this, but by saying this she could dispel their doubts.

Da Wang and Shen Yu looked at each other again.

To be honest, these young people were all brainwashed by the atheism of the Cultural Revolution, such as "overthrowing monsters and demons", and they really don't believe in ghosts and gods. But after all, it is an area that they don't understand, so they can't help but feel a little bit of awe.

The two watched as Cauliflower took out a handkerchief and covered her face. After a while, she began to tremble all over, and when she spoke again, her voice had changed.

The voice was hoarse and old, and sounded like something was strangling the throat.

"Shen Yu, your mother left you a jade pendant as a souvenir, but you lost it, didn't you? You feel very guilty!"

Shen Yu was stunned.

He had never told anyone about this because it happened when he was a child, and he didn't even tell his uncle!

How would she know?

The voice laughed, "I also know that your biological father took the jade pendant away to please your stepmother."

Shen Yuru fell into an ice cellar.

Caihua sneered in his heart. He had told Yanyan all these things in his previous life, and she overheard them accidentally.

Cauliflower turned and looked at Dawang again.

Da Wang stood there motionless, also looking at her head covered with a white handkerchief.

The days are short in winter. At this time, the sun has already set and the night is falling. The cold wind is raging, blowing the handkerchief on the cauliflower head, which is very creepy.

He even wondered if there was a different face underneath the handkerchief, like the old man's lies, some ghost or something?

But he was not afraid. He was a righteous man and had never done anything wrong. He also had his own weapon on his waist. Let alone a mere person, even if it was a real ghost, he would dare to go up and beat it.

"Da Wang, Da Wang, you have such a bad luck in life. Your whole family died...Gah-ah-"

Da Wang moved as fast as lightning. Shen Yu didn't even see how he moved before he had already grabbed Caihua's neck with one hand.

Da Wang's face was cold, his eyes were sharper than a knife, he said coldly: "You are tired of living!"

There was no mercy in his hands. If he used more force, he could crush the cauliflower to death.

The handkerchief on Cauliflower Head had fallen off, and his face had turned purple from being bitten by Dawang. His tongue was sticking out and his pupils were dilating.

Shen Yu quickly grabbed Da Wang's wrist, "Da Wang, don't be impulsive!"

Da Wang let go, and Caihua fell to the ground. He touched his neck with both hands and started coughing violently.

Shen Yu saw Da Wang standing there motionless, his eyes were cold, and his aura was more terrifying than that of a wild beast. He quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, ask first."

Caihua began to cry, "How can you be like this? I was so kind and you wanted to strangle me to death when I asked for your help. I don't want to help you anymore."

She was about to leave crying.

Da Wang said coldly: "Finish your words before you leave."

Caihua said with a bitter face, "I just asked you with great difficulty but you didn't listen. Now that she's gone, you want me to tell you. What can I say? I saw it because of her."

Da Wang's eyes flashed like lightning: "Then ask again."

"You, why are you so domineering? I don't care about my life? I am communicating with the spirits, what if I die? You can only wait a little longer." Her face was blue and purple, and she did not look well, but that was caused by Da Wang's pinching.

Da Wang stared at her coldly, "If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you without hesitation!"

Cauliflower was shaking like a sieve. "I know, I know. I saw it all. You killed so many people. Your eyes are red. Wuwuwuwu... Don't kill me."

The great prosperity of the land was so great that the body was tightly bound.

Shen Yu: "Caihua, when can you come again?"

Caihua sneered in her heart, look, you took the bait! What I said is true, you are a cold-blooded murderer in your bones, you will take the bait even if you don't take it. Humph, you will also taste my pain. When I want to have fun with you, you refuse and reject me, and bring me pain, frustration, and fear. Do you feel it? Do you feel it!!!

She said in panic, "I don't know. I'm not in good health, and it's getting worse now. Give me a couple of days."

Da Wang turned and left.

Shen Yu felt like he had become a different person when he came here recently, and his cold aura made him a little scared.

He turned to look at Caihua and said sternly, "Caihua, you better explain it."

Caihua hunched her shoulders, "Brother Shen Yu, how can I explain this? I believe in you and Da Wang, and I am a good person, so I told you and helped you. Are you going to sell me out and let the Revolutionary Committee and the Public Security Bureau arrest me and fight against feudal superstition? I don't know why this happened, and I don't want to, but...but I was born like this. I was scared to death at first, oooo."

Shen Yu looked at Caihua, feeling somewhat confused. Was this why he thought Caihua was strange? She didn't do it on purpose. She was also a victim.

Otherwise it would be difficult to explain why cauliflower knew his secret.

"What did you see just now? Tell me about Da Wang." Shen Yu asked.

Caihua shook her head. "I, I only saw the general idea, not that clearly. When I'm communicating with spirits, I can't control it."

Spiritual communication, writing with a planchette, and fortune-telling are all feudal superstitions, but they are also recorded in the ancient I Ching, metaphysics, and Qin Tianjian. Shen Yu is well-read and naturally has some understanding of these. Although he does not believe in ghosts and gods, he is a little shaken by the fortune-telling.

"Tell me as much as you know."

Cauliflower: "I...I feel dizzy." Her body went limp.

Shen Yu hesitated for a moment, then reached out to help her, and Caihua leaned against him.

Shen Yu frowned, straightened her up and moved a little distance away from her, "Go back and rest."

Cauliflower: "I feel dizzy and hungry. It's all because of him. He's really scary. If he gets angry, he will kill people. He holds a knife, dripping with blood, and his eyes are redder than blood... So scary..."

Shen Yu turned around and saw Yanyan coming from the other side. He immediately called out, "Yanyan, Caihua has fainted. Please help her."

Yanyan immediately ran over, glanced at Caihua, frowned, and reached out to help her.

But Caihua pulled Shen Yu's sleeve and refused.

Yanyan: "Don't pretend. Are you trying to ruin Brother Shen Yu's reputation by making trouble?"

She was no longer the weak and helpless girl she was when she was little, and she could see through Cauliflower's thoughts at a glance.
