Chu Jingqiu brought a cup of green tea mixed with spiritual spring water to grandpa and grandma. Li Peilan drank it in one gulp, thirsty. She sighed and said, "Many of our teachers at Peking University were inexplicably criticized and sent to the cowshed for labor reform. This is not an era where reason is respected."
Mr. He took a sip of tea and said, "Xiao Qiu, we plan to go back tomorrow. I'm a little worried about the situation. I'll feel at ease knowing we can look after your father and mother when we go back."
"Grandpa, don't worry. As long as you stay at home, nothing will happen at home. I will try to ask Grandpa Wu and the others tonight to find out why they were sent down. By the way, I will also see what they lack and help them if I can." Chu Jingqiu comforted.
Then he pretended to take out a bag of cakes and a few apples from the small cupboard, and made a few cups of malted milk to feed the few people.
After Chu Jingqiu finished eating, she asked her grandparents to rest for a while. She came to Shi Aihong's room. Shi Aihong was drinking malted milk from a cup. When she saw Chu Jingqiu coming in, she hurriedly pulled her to sit down on the kang.
"Jingqiu, Mr. Wu, who was criticized today, is our neighbor. You know him, right? I remember he mentioned your father.
Grandpa Wu is a very nice person. When my father and mother are too busy at work to come home, Grandpa Wu would let my brothers and sisters go to his house for dinner.
Such a good person was beaten by that bastard Du Erleng. If Zhang Pingping hadn't pulled me back, I would have stopped him that morning."
Chu Jingqiu also said angrily: "I've been looking for an opportunity to beat him up these past two days. Last time we harassed you, we said we'd find an opportunity to beat him up, but we never found the chance. Now I can't bear it any longer and want to beat him up.
Didn't you see that after he beat the guy up, he looked at us educated youth with a smug look on his face? I felt like he was demonstrating to you, or showing off his so-called masculinity. For someone this abnormal, I really don't understand what good this behavior does for him."
Shi Aihong shared the same sentiment and said, "Yes, he glanced at me with a look of pride and boasting in his eyes. It was disgusting. He had to be beaten. I couldn't stand it for even a moment."
Zhang Pingping and Lin Zishan also came in at this time. As soon as they entered, Lin Zishan couldn't wait to ask, "Did you notice anything unusual about Hu Mingyue today? Why did they let her speak as a representative? There must be something fishy going on."
Zhang Pingping then spoke up, "I think Hu Mingyue must have deliberately held me back when I was tricked last time. She must have been hooking up with Yu Huanxiang."
Chu Jingqiu snorted and said with disdain, "Yu Fugui or Gu Wanshan must have promised her some benefits, such as becoming an official, becoming an advanced worker, attending the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, or returning to the city. It's all possible. This person is very scheming, so be careful with him in the future."
"What we are going to discuss now is how to beat up Du Erleng. Let's prepare ourselves and find an opportunity to strike. We need to do it without anyone noticing. I want one of his legs, the one that kicked people."
At night, Jiang Jiang told Chu Jingqiu through the surveillance that Du Erleng went to the Shannan Brigade next door to drink. Chu Jingqiu felt that the opportunity to take action had come, so he let Du Erleng get into trouble in the Shannan Brigade. This was the best opportunity.
Just as she was thinking about how to tell them, Lin Zishan came over and said hurriedly, "Jingqiu, I just walked around Du Erleng's house and found that he was out drinking again. I heard him tell his mother that he went to the Shannan Brigade."
"With people like Hu Mingyue in the educated youth camp, we have to be more careful. Let's do this tonight..." Chu Jingqiu put several people's heads together and gave instructions in a low voice.
In the evening, Chu Jingqiu took Shi Aihong and Zhang Pingping to beat Du Erleng. Lin Zishan was waiting for them in Shi Aihong's room with the lights on.
The three of them took advantage of the night and walked along a small path to the entrance of Shannan Brigade Village. Chu Jingqiu asked a few people to wait in the grove, and she was responsible for knocking Du Erleng unconscious.
Chu Jingqiu walked to a cemetery, took out a dummy from the space, put white clothes on the dummy, and took out a mask with a green face, fangs, a bloody mouth, and a long tongue and put it on the dummy.
This cemetery is a must-pass place on the way back to Qingshan Brigade. After waiting for more than an hour, the drunk Du Erleng staggered over.
Chu Jingqiu held up the dummy and walked up to Du Erleng. Du Erleng saw a giant ghost with a green face and fangs, nearly four meters tall, swaying in front of him. It was walking towards him quickly with a zombie-like gait, and kept shouting, "Give me back my life! Give me back my life!"
He was so scared that he wet his pants. He wanted to run but his legs were too weak to move. When the ghost's tongue was about to lick him, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Chu Jingqiu immediately took out a bottle of white wine, poured him some more, and deliberately spilled some on him, then flashed the flashlight three times in the direction of the grove.
Several girls, wearing self-made black hoods that only exposed their eyes, ran over quickly. They first put a sack on Du Erleng, and then started beating him violently.
Chu Jingqiu picked up a stone and broke Du Erleng's right calf. Du Erleng was almost woken up by the beating, but fainted from the pain again after the blow.
Several people lifted him up and let him roll into a small ravine beside the road. Then they placed the stone next to his broken leg, creating the illusion that he had fallen into the ravine while drunk.
After a careful check and finding nothing missing and no flaws, several people quickly ran back to the educated youth site.
The door of the educated youth center was not locked. It was secretly opened after Lin Zishan and others locked the door. Several girls gently pushed the door open and tiptoed back to Shi Aihong's house.
"Sister Zishan, no one came to see us tonight!" Chu Jingqiu asked.
"No one else came, only grandma came. I told you guys to go to the bathroom, and I'll let you go find her later." Lin Zishan said.
"How's the matter going? Did you beat anyone up? You didn't let me go, and I was really waiting anxiously." Lin Zishan asked anxiously.
"Of course we beat him up. It was so satisfying. Du Erleng was so scared that he peed his pants. We smashed one of his legs. It felt so good to beat up the bad guy!" Shi Aihong said excitedly.
"We don't let you go because your task is more difficult. You're the only one who can talk. If someone comes to us, you can handle it. We call this a perfect crime." Chu Jingqiu said with a smile.
"Everyone, go back and have a shower! Wait and see what fun is going on tomorrow. I'm going to see what my grandma wants me to do."
Chu Jingqiu came to her room. Grandpa and grandma were still awake. As soon as she came in, her grandfather said with a sullen face, "You silly girl, did you go out and do something bad? You didn't come back until so late at night."
