The educated youth followed Feng Sanju through many twists and turns and arrived at a blue brick house next to the orchard at the west end of the village.
Du Damazi's family was poor and their adobe house had collapsed long ago.
The villagers took pity on him and let him live in this house, and in the autumn he helped the villagers look after the orchard.
At this time, Du Damazi's house was already surrounded by villagers who came to watch the fun.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard Qin Yilan's crying and screaming, "Wuwuwu... Why don't you believe what I said? It was that old man Du Damazi who raped me.
I'm only eighteen, how could I possibly be having an affair with an old man who's older than my dad! Woo woo..."
When the members saw the educated youth coming, they consciously made way for them.
Feng Sanju took the female educated youth to give Qin Yilan's clothes into the house first.
Chu Jingqiu and Shi Aihong followed in at the end and saw that there was only a square table and two armchairs in the simple room.
There was a big box on the kang in the room. Qin Yilan was curled up in the corner of the kang, wrapped in a military coat and covered with a patched quilt.
There was a pile of torn women's clothes on the kang, which showed that the battle was fierce last night.
Du Damazi sat barefoot on the kang, wearing a patched cotton jacket that he hadn't even bothered to button, revealing his chest and stomach covered with dark wrinkles.
He sat there with his head hung, not saying a word, occasionally stealing a glance at Qin Yilan.
Qin Yilan kept crying and shouting on the kang, saying that she wanted to sue Du Damazi.
The fat lady curled her lips and said bluntly, "Qin Zhiqing, I see you are still a young girl, and I didn't want to say anything too harsh.
But now you keep saying that Damazi raped you, but that's not true. I feel I must stand up and tell the truth.
This morning, I went to sweep the streets with Li Huandi. When we passed by here, we heard a woman's voice coming from the hemp house.
We were both very curious, so we quietly moved closer to the yard and listened. We heard a sound like a cat's meow.
We just came in to take a look, and we smelled alcohol all over the room.
You were drunk and naked, and you kept pestering Damazi, who was begging you desperately.
He told you that he is 50 years old and has been busy for half the night, and he really can't stand being tormented by you like this.
You still keep pestering him regardless of anything. I think you are almost driving Du Damazi to exhaustion.
You still have the nerve to say that Du Damazi raped you. I saw you on top at that time. I feel that you were drunk and raped Du Damazi.
Feng Sanju couldn't stand it any longer and said with a dark face, "Qin Zhiqing, when the villagers called me over, it was indeed you who was holding down Du Damazi.
Du Damazi couldn't push you away, so it took several of us women to pull you away and rescue Du Damazi.
I think you must have been drunk and acting crazy. I don't believe what you said about Du Damazi raping you. It seems like you forced Du Damazi."
Qin Yilan's eyes were bloodshot, and she immediately glared with anger, "I was staying at the educated youth camp last night and I didn't come here on my own. I don't know who threw me here.
I must have been drugged. I don't remember anything about last night. I just came to my senses when you separated me and Du Damazi.
I really didn't come here on my own. Please report it to the police. I was raped by Du Damazi. I want to investigate the truth of the matter."
An elderly woman nearby said, "Qin Zhiqing, I want to give you some advice. I'm doing this for your own good.
When a few of us women came to pull you away, I took a special look at the kang and saw that the sheets were clean!
We all think that this is not the first time that you and Du Damazi have messed around like this. Although brother Damazi is older, he knows how to care for others.
"You two are in this state now. If it were up to me, you should just marry the big brother, Damazi! If the Revolutionary Committee knew you were having an affair, it would be a disaster. You would have your heads shaved and paraded through the streets."
Qin Yilan rustled into her clothes under the quilt, wrapped herself in her military coat, and stood up. "I've told you so many times, why don't you believe me?
I can't explain it to you anymore. I'm going to report it to the police myself. I don't believe they can't find out who harmed me."
Feng Sanju glanced at her unkindly and said, "Qin Zhiqing, ever since your family incident, we all feel like you've become a completely different person.
I thought about it for a long time before I figured it out. You must miss your father very much and lack the love of your parents, so you got together with Du Damazi.
You must want Du Damazi to love you like your father. This is not the first time you two have slept together.
If the police come to investigate, the village will not be able to protect you from this trivial matter. The villagers have also seen you pestering Du Damazi. Maybe you are the female hooligan.
If you admit that you and Du Damazi are in a free love relationship, the village will protect you. You two can get a marriage certificate and everything will be fine.
Think about it carefully! We certainly won’t force you.”
Qin Yilan said with her neck stiff, "I did drink too much last night, but I would never come here to sleep with Du Damazi.
Even if I die, I will never marry this disgusting old man. I must find out the bastard who hurt me and cut him into pieces."
Qin Yilan put on her cotton boots, wrapped herself tightly in her military coat and was about to go out, but was stopped by several sisters-in-law from Du Damazi's family.
A dark-skinned woman with a big mole on her nose grabbed Qin Yilan's sleeve and said rudely, "Qin Zhiqing, you can't leave. My pockmarked brother is so old, and you've been tossing him around for half the night. He's the one who's been wronged!
We can’t just listen to your explanation! We have to listen to what my brother Ma Zi has to say too! "
Du Damazi smiled awkwardly, revealing his large yellow teeth, "Qin Zhiqing, I was sleeping soundly last night when I suddenly felt someone undressing me.
I woke up with fright. I thought it was a fox spirit coming to suck my energy. I was so scared that I couldn't move my body.
Later, I smelled the alcohol on you and realized that you were a drunk woman.
I wanted to light a light to see who it was, but you didn't even wait for me to light the light before you impatiently stripped me of my clothes. You didn't even bother to unbutton your clothes and had already torn them to pieces.
I couldn't stand your temptation, so I gave in. Who knew you would keep teasing me? At my age, I really can't stand your torment.
I begged for mercy, but you refused to let me go. Just when I thought I was going to die from your torture.
Fatty and the others just came to rescue me, and you still want to sue me for rape. I feel so wronged.
I was going to sue you. You got drunk and came to my house to behave like a hooligan to me. You are a female hooligan.
I am so old, and it is my first time. You are so young, but you are just a slut. I have slept with you, a slut. I am not clean anymore. "
