Chapter 43 Bloody Clothes

Many people in the crowd felt sorry for Gu Xiaoru when they saw her like this, and they blamed Auntie Da Niu: "Zhou Cuihua, please speak properly and don't wrongly accuse a little girl."

"That's right. It's not easy for her to leave her hometown and come to us. We can't bully her."

Auntie Da Niu heard everyone blaming her, she felt wronged and angry, pointing at Gu Xiaoru: "How dare you deny what you said? You clearly said that my son was in a bad mood because Yu Zhiqing and Huo Zhiqing were dating, so he saw Yu Zhiqing going into the mountains alone and chased after him, and you said you were worried about something happening."

Gu Xiaoru was incredulous when she heard this: "Auntie, even if your son really likes Yu Zhiqing, how could he tell me? I don't know him well. How can you wrongly accuse him like this? You are trying to kill me."

After she finished speaking, she burst into tears, and the sound was very sad and miserable.

She has liked using this trick to manipulate the boys who like her in the alley since she was a child, so she naturally knows how to cry in the most beautiful and heartbreaking way.

Suddenly, a child of about seven or eight years old jumped out and pointed at Gu Xiaoru and said, "No, you are very familiar with Erzhuang. I even saw him hug you."

"You were in the haystack at the back of the mountain. Not only did I see it, but Anan saw it too."

Anan, who was called by him, was a dark and thin boy with bright eyes. He looked like a very smart child. When he heard his friend call his name, he sighed in his heart: What a fool! He was sold and still had to count money for others.

He stood up and said: "During that time, we secretly went into the mountains to dig traps without telling anyone. When we came back, we saw Er Zhuangge and Gu Zhiqing hugging each other. We just took one look and ran away in fear."

He whispered, "If Er Zhuang sees us, he will beat us to death."

Zhang Tiesheng, the on-site translator, came online in seconds. Gu Xiaoru's face turned pale and she couldn't believe it. She looked at the two children and said, "You are lying. Who taught you to lie and deceive people at such a young age?"

"No, I didn't lie, Mom, I didn't lie." The seven or eight-year-old child Xie Guozhong shouted loudly: "I didn't lie, I really didn't lie."

Xie Guonan stepped forward to protect his cousin: "We really didn't lie. We saw it clearly at the time. It was Gu Zhiqing and Er Zhuangge."

He always gave the same answer no matter who came, and he and his cousin did not lie.

The child's mother also stepped forward to protect her two cubs: "My children will not lie, you must have done it and dare not admit it." She thought to herself that the child would not lie, but was so brave that he dared to sneak into the mountains to dig traps at night, not afraid of not getting the prey but burying himself instead. It's still too little to catch, so I'll prepare a meal of braised pork with rattan sticks when I go back.

It's still the kind that is hung up with rattan and braised pork.

Yu Wanqing stepped forward and asked Xie Guonan: "Anan, how do you know that those are Gu Zhiqing and Niu Erzhuang?"

Xie Guozhong heard this and whispered, "One is called Erzhuang brother, the other is called Xiaoru sister, even a fool would know who they are."

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.

Yu Wanqing looked at Gu Xiaoru and said, "You really are a stubborn person."

"Not to mention others, I also saw you quietly leave the educated youth site at night and go to meet Niu Erzhuang under the longan tree by the stream. He also brought you eggs, which you ate." Ever since hearing Wang Yuping say that the two met privately and hugged each other, Yu Wanqing would keep an eye on Gu Xiaoru whenever she had time.

The two had met many times during the double robbery period, and she also knew that the Xie brothers had discovered them.

She didn't say anything just now, just waiting for someone to come out and hammer her, and then she stepped out and hammered a few more times, nailing the two of them to death together.

Gu Xiaoru kept shouting that she was innocent, but at this moment, a man who looked lazy came out to reveal the truth: "You said Erzhuang likes Yu Zhiqing?"

"I never said that. It was my aunt who framed me." Gu Xiaoru would never admit it.

"Whether you admit it or not, I only know that Erzhuang told us that he likes you and wants to marry you." Xie Daqiang looked at Gu Xiaoru: "He usually helps you with work after lunch. If you have any conscience, you shouldn't lie to others."

"Okay." Auntie Daniu looked at Gu Xiaoru fiercely: "It turned out that you, a bitch, seduced my son, but splashed dirty water on Yu Zhiqing, and then tempted me to fight with Yu Zhiqing."

"You always come to my house and say that everyone at the educated youth site bullies you, and that Yu Zhiqing bullies you to death. It turns out that it wasn't Yu Zhiqing who bullied you, but you hated her because she was pretty, and you wanted to use my mother and me to deal with Yu Zhiqing." After saying that, Auntie Da Niu rushed over to hit Gu Xiaoru: "I'm going to beat you to death, you black-hearted bitch."

Before Gu Xiaoru could react, she was thrown to the ground by Auntie Da Niu, and then slapped and scolded by Auntie Da Niu.

The people at the educated youth center did not step forward to stop the fight. Didn't they say that the people at the educated youth center bullied her? Then they would definitely confirm this point, otherwise they would not be able to justify the insults they had received.

"Hurry up and pull the person away." Aunt Zhou was worried that Aunt Daniu had been too harsh and had injured someone, and when the time came to hold her accountable, her husband would not be able to escape.

When Auntie Daniu was being dragged away by several people, she punched and kicked Gu Xiaoru, trying to kick her several meters away like Yu Wanqing did.

Gu Xiaoru fell to the ground, covering her face with her hands. At this moment, her heart was chilled, for she was afraid that her face would be ruined.

Secretary Zhou looked at Gu Xiaoru and said, "Call the militiamen to lock them up in the house behind the brigade headquarters first, and then go into the mountains to look for Erzhuang."

Even though Gu Xiaoru was unwilling, she was eventually taken away by the militia.

The team leader led people into the mountains to look for Niu Erzhuang. Lu Guohua discussed with all the male educated youth and finally decided to let the female educated youth go back. The male educated youth also followed into the mountains to look for people.

Since you have come to the Five-Star Brigade, you are a member of the brigade and must participate in such matters, otherwise the people in the brigade will exclude you.

Huo Lanci said to Yu Wanqing, "You can go back first. You don't have to wait for me to eat. I don't know when I can come back."

Yu Wanqing nodded: "It's not safe in the mountains at night. You should bring your tools with you."

"Don't worry, there is a group of militiamen with guns following us into the mountains to look for people."

Several female educated youth returned together. He Xiaoyuan said, "I don't know what Gu Xiaoru wants to do. Can't she just live a good life?"

Gao Qingmei said calmly, "She is not favored at home, and she doesn't want to do farm work in the brigade. She wants to rely on a man to change her life, and then go back to show her parents that she can live a good life without relying on them."

Yu Wanqing had to say that Gao Qingmei was one of the calmest people in the educated youth center. She could always peel off the threads and see the essence of things.

He Xiaoyuan was shocked: "There have been educated youth sent to the countryside since ten years ago. Everyone knows that educated youth go to the countryside to do farm work. If she is afraid of hardship, why does she still want to go to the countryside?"

Zhang Hongqi sneered when he heard this: "The educated youth who go to the countryside will receive a subsidy, and those who stay in the city will have to marry the man arranged by their parents."

The two families were neighbors, and she knew the Gu family's affairs better than anyone else. They had been quarreling for several days before she went to the countryside, and the neighbors had seen a joke.

A few days ago, I received a letter from my mother saying that Gu Xiaoru took all the money in the family when she went to the countryside, and the Gu family was so angry that they cursed in the yard every day.

It was past nine in the evening when Huo Lanci and the other male educated youths returned. Yu Wanqing quickly brought out the hot food from the pot and gave it to him: "Did you find it?"

Huo Lanci washed his hands before sitting down at the eight-immortal table: "Found it. It rolled down the slope of Niangzi'ao. It has a lot of injuries on its body. It looks like it broke its arm."

"The militia captain also searched the scene and found only his footprints, so there was no possibility of murder."

Yu Wanqing thought: It would be strange if I could find it.

She erased all traces of herself, leaving only Niu Erzhuang's footprints. Even if the most powerful person came to investigate, they would not be able to find any trace of her.

Her eyes fell on Huo Lanci's bloodstained clothes: "Are you injured?"
