Silence returned to the surroundings.
Tang Wan untied the smooth cloth covering her eyes, and she was now alone.
The last ray of light in the sky disappeared, and the sky was completely dark.
Tang Wan clenched the cloth in her hand and turned back to the educated youth point.
Behind Tang Wan, a tall figure silently followed her footsteps until she arrived safely at the educated youth point.
When Tang Wan returned to the educated youth point, Sister Yanhong was still the only girl there.
Sister Yanhong greeted her with a smile when she saw her come back: "Are you back?"
"Yeah." Tang Wan smiled at Sister Yanhong, and there was no abnormality on her face.
"You came back early yesterday."
"Almost. What are you doing?" Tang Wan looked at Sister Yanhong holding a small dustpan in the corner of the room, wondering what she was doing.
"There have been rat problems over at the male educated youth camp these days, so they made some rat poison. I asked for some too. We're so close, and if they have rats, we can't escape here either." As Sister Yanhong spoke, she had already cleaned all four corners of the house.
"I mixed the medicine in the steamed buns. You should be careful not to touch it at any time. Be sure to wash your hands." Sister Yanhong said carefully.
"Yes, I will." Tang Wan nodded. Even if Sister Yanhong didn't tell her, she wouldn't pick up food from the ground.
"You have to lock the door of your room when you go to work these days, just in case." Sister Yanhong said.
When they went to work before, they only locked the main gate of the educated youth site, but never locked the doors inside.
"Just in case?" Tang Wan thought they were robbed.
"It's not what you think. It's to prevent children from coming into the house and eating the steamed buns mixed with rat poison on the ground without knowing it." Sister Yanhong pointed to the steamed buns on the ground.
That was a white flour steamed bun, which was extremely tempting nowadays. Even Tang Wan felt a little sorry when she saw it thrown on the ground.
"It happened in the village before. An adult put food mixed with rat poison in the kitchen, and a child ate it without knowing it and died. It was an incident that happened that year." Sister Yanhong saw it at the time, and the incident left a deep impression on her.
"I understand. I will remember to lock the door when I go out these days." Tang Wan didn't expect such a thing to happen, but it was very reasonable when she thought about it.
"Why lock the door?" Zhong Ling, who came in from outside, only heard Tang Wan's last two words. She didn't know if she had misunderstood, and her tone was a little bad.
"I was the one who told you to lock the door when you go out and no one is around." Sister Yanhong quickly responded, and then repeated to Zhong Ling what she had just said to Tang Wan.
"Now I know." Zhong Ling understood and then asked, "Where did you get the rat poison? Do you still have it?"
"I don't know where the male educated youth got it from, but it's gone now. Do you want rat poison?" Sister Yanhong pointed to the steamed buns on the ground.
"No, I just asked." Zhong Ling slowly moved her eyes away from the steamed bun and shook her head.

Early the next morning.
When Tang Wan visited Qin Zheng's house, Qin Zheng was alone.
"Where is Dongzi?" Tang Wan asked while eating.
She remembered that Dongzi did not leave last night, but she didn't see him just now.
"I left in the morning." Qin Zheng put the last plate on the table with a thud.
"You left without having breakfast?" Tang Wan asked.
"Do you care about him?" Qin Zheng sat opposite Tang Wan and looked at her, his tone calm and his face expressionless.
Hearing this, Tang Wan finally looked up at Qin Zheng, a faint smile on her lips: "Is it not possible?"
