When the Tang sisters were swallowed and torn apart by the tornado, a villager happened to pass by and saw it from a distance. He was so scared that he immediately ran to tell Cheng Guozhong.
At the same time, several villagers who saw Guo Ergou being killed by the tornado also ran to tell Cheng Guozhong.
Cheng Guozhong was shocked when he found out about this. How come there was another tornado killing people in the team? Two people were killed by a tornado not long ago. This tornado was too terrifying.
Cheng Guozhong hurried to see the place where Guo Ergou and the Tang sisters had the accident. When he arrived, he saw only mutilated bodies. Cheng Guozhong frowned. Those who followed him were so timid that they screamed in fear, and some even cried.
The news that Guo Ergou and the Tang sisters were killed by a tornado quickly spread throughout the village. Both the team members and the educated youth were terrified, and the team was in a panic for a time.
Kang Baoda and his friends who were digging a well in the village didn't know about this and were not afraid.
"Has our team been in bad luck, or has it run into some evil spirit? Why have tornadoes been appearing and killing people so often recently? Including Guo Ergou and the Tang sisters who died today, five people have been killed by tornadoes... It's horrible!
Captain, do you want to find a mistress or a Taoist priest to take a look? I know a powerful Taoist priest in the next-door brigade, we can go find him..." A villager whispered in Cheng Guozhong's ear, but was interrupted by Cheng Guozhong before he could finish his words.
"Shut up! Don't you know that it is feudal superstition and that the higher-ups forbid feudal superstition? Do you know what the Four Olds are...you want to get yourself into trouble!" Cheng Guozhong glared at him sideways.
The other party was so scared that he immediately shut his mouth and dared not speak anymore.
"But recently our production team has been experiencing a lot of tornadoes, and several people have died. Yet, we haven't heard of any tornadoes or deaths in other production teams. It's a bit weird... How come this tornado appeared here and only killed our people?" another team member said.
"I think this is just a pure accident, purely coincidental. Don't think too much about it. Being suspicious will only make people more uneasy and panic-stricken." Xu Zhixin walked out of the crowd and said.
Seeing that there were quite a lot of people coming, she thought about joining in the fun. However, she discovered that although no one doubted her, they were inclined to "feudal superstition". She was afraid that although the team leader did not believe it, most of the team members would believe it after hearing it, which would make people even more panicked. They were so scared that they would go out of their way to find Taoist priests and witches to exorcise evil spirits and perform shaman rituals.
She was not afraid that the Taoist priests or witches would find out that the tornado was related to her. Most of the Taoist priests and witches in the countryside were liars, and those who had some skills would definitely not be able to tell that she had the ability to control the wind.
She was afraid that Taoist priests and witches would come to exorcise evil spirits and perform shaman rituals, and that word would get out and someone would report it to the commune or higher authorities, which would cause trouble for the team leader and everyone in the team.
At this time, engaging in feudal superstition is a serious crime and you may end up in jail.
"This is an accident. When I was a kid, my grandfather told me that there was a tornado here several decades ago, which swept away all the houses and killed many people. So this situation is nothing new or strange!
This is a normal natural disaster. Don't rely on feudal superstitions and scare yourself. If anyone dares to say something related to feudal superstitions again, it will cause investigation by the superiors and cause big trouble for me and the team. Don't blame me for being rude! "
Cheng Guozhong glanced at Xu Zhixin, immediately nodded in agreement, and glanced at the people around him and warned.
Everyone around knew the seriousness of the situation and nodded quickly. Cheng Guozhong felt relieved and ordered someone to report to the commune, or to send a special envoy.
After receiving the news, the leaders of the commune and the special commissioner sent by the Public Security Bureau to the commune rushed to the Lu'an Brigade, saying that how could a tornado appear in the Lu'an Brigade again, causing deaths, three lives this time, but it was caused by a tornado, not man-made, it was homicide, so no one could be blamed.
After the special envoy questioned several team members who witnessed Guo Ergou and the Tang sisters being killed by the tornado, he conducted further investigation and found that it was indeed the tornado that killed them, not homicide, so the case was closed.
The commune leader said that he would report it to the Municipal Youth League Office and ask them to notify the families of the Tang sisters to come and collect their bodies. As for Guo Ergou, he asked Cheng Guozhong to notify Guo Ergou's family to come and collect his body for burial.
Guo Ergou's parents are both dead. He has a brother and sister who disowned him because they hated his behavior and cut off all ties with him. They don't usually interact with him.
But now such a big thing has happened, Guo Ergou is dead, his brother and sister are still very sad. After all, they are brothers and sisters, so they came to collect his body, and after discussion, they decided to pay together to bury him.
Just like that, the matter of the Tang sisters and Guo Ergou was dealt with, but Cheng Guozhong and the team members were still concerned and a little nervous. After all, three lives were involved and three people died at once.
Xu Zhixin noticed it, but didn't take it too seriously. Time is the best medicine. As long as such things don't happen again in a short period of time, they will gradually forget about it and no longer take it to heart. After all, they are not their family, relatives, or friends.
Cheng Guozhong was afraid that another tornado would occur and that more people would die, so he specifically instructed everyone in the team, whether they were team members or educated youth, to be vigilant when seeing wind in the future and to find a place to hide as soon as the wind was strong.
Except for Xu Zhixin, everyone else would have done the same thing even without Cheng Guozhong telling them.
