"Okay." Chen Shaohui saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he believed it.
Accountant Hu, who was standing across the pond, heard voices talking, followed the sounds around the trees, squinted his eyes and saw the warm scene of a fire still burning in the Youth League Institute. He saw that the firelight made people's faces look yellow, and there was a lot of smoke rising up.
Why didn't he think of looking at the sky at that time? He remembered that the moonlight was not clear after Xing Yi flew away, as if it was covered by a layer of black cloth, and he couldn't even see the road clearly.
Accountant Hu's eyes were filled with tears, as if he had seen a long-lost relative. He excitedly shouted to the other side: "Hey, someone over there please come and pick me up! I can't see the road clearly!"
He really couldn't see clearly. It wasn't that he was timid and didn't dare to leave, but he was alone here. His wife had been waiting in the house for so long with the meal ready, and she must be worried about him.
The people on the other side heard his voice. Although they knew something must be going on in the middle of the night, no one wanted to go out because it was so hot outside and the weather was so hot. It would be better to stay cool under the eaves.
Zhang Lei and Xiang Hongmei said nothing and just washed their clothes. If they met a bad guy, they would have no ability to protect themselves.
Sikong Haoqiang in the room saw his brother covering his head. He had heard about what his brother had done a few days ago. Seeing how scared he was, it might be true. "Do you know something? We are good brothers. Tell me and I won't tell you."
"I don't know anything, don't ask me..." Chen Dong spoke incoherently under the quilt.
"If you don't know, eat shit on the spot!" If Sikong Haoqiang hadn't moved closer to him, he might not have been able to hear what he was saying, but he still didn't believe him. Although they often did bad things together, he would not do anything illegal. Everyone knows that going to jail means living a hard life. Although the conditions here are not good, at least he is free. He must be stupid to go in there.
I didn't take him with me when I went to the market two days ago. I saw that he was guilty and that he was holding his fart, so I didn't go with him.
When he didn't come back for a few nights, he felt something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it. When he came back, he had an unshaven beard and black eyes, as if he had stolen a cow. Then there were rumors that he was involved in selling people. He found it unbelievable when he heard it. His brother was a little lazy, but he shouldn't do anything stupid. He was a little unsure, but seeing his miserable appearance, he was a little speechless.
Chen Dong ignored him.
Sikong Haoqiang went out to see what was happening. When Zhang Lei saw him coming out, she seemed to have regained her composure. "Brother Qiang, come and see, there's a man on the other side calling us over. What do you think we should do? I'm so scared~"
"What should I do? It's useless if you call me. Just go if you want to." Sikong Haoqiang was speechless. This woman always came to talk to him. He knew he was very charming, but she was not his type.
Many educated youth who had not returned before have already married and settled down here with people from the same village or other villages. Zhang Lei looked down on these rough men. The only one she liked was Sikong Haoqiang. But no matter how Zhang Lei tried to seduce him, he remained indifferent and she suspected that he was a wooden man.
"How can you say that about me! I'm not going to pay attention to you! Humph~" Xu Lei deliberately pinched her throat and said the last sentence in a long tone.
There was a long silence, and Sikong Haoqiang felt so disgusted that he wanted to vomit at him. She was not like this before, but she became weird after playing with Tian Xiaotong.
Xiang Hongmei knew that Zhang Lei was originally a favored family member at home, but once she was purged, she fled to the countryside. Seeing that there was no hope of returning to the village, she wanted to find a man to protect her. Anyone with a discerning eye could see it.
But she felt that if she had to rely on men all her life, then women would be completely his vassal, giving birth to children, washing clothes and cooking for him, and living such an ordinary life. What was the point of living in this life?
"The world is yours, and it is ours, but ultimately it is yours. You young people are full of vigor and vitality, in your prime, like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning. Hope rests on you." This sentence is the great man's earnest expectation for the younger generation.
Xiang Hongmei felt that she should shoulder the heavy responsibility and contribute her insignificant strength to the prosperity and development of the country and the nation. Even if this strength was small, the grain they grew fed back to some people during the famine in the past few years, allowing them to survive. Even though they were cut by sickles and rice, they did not cry out in pain, because Xiang Hongmei felt that what she was doing now was meaningful and she had no regrets.
My thoughts wandered a little, and when I turned around, I saw Zhang Lei running to Sikong Haoqiang again.
On the other side, Xing Yifei's father Xing Jianjun was cooking, and Chen Shaohui was making a fire. The stove was open-air and made of simple thatched grass.
This stove is used in turns, and they eat separately now. Because Zhang Lei thinks her father is sick and is afraid that the disease will be passed on to her, she also made the decision for Sikong Haoqiang and Chen Dong privately.
When they came back, they found that the matter had already been decided. They regretted it so much that it was useless to talk to her.
Xing Jianjun saw that his son was not telling the truth and asked while cooking, "Who is he? Who is he looking for?"
"Accountant Hu, he's looking for Chen Dong." Xing Yifei told them without hiding anything.
"Emma, am I still your good brother? You didn't even tell me!" Chen Shaohui stuffed firewood into the fire one by one, almost filling up the stove.
"Don't turn up the fire so high, or the vegetables will get burnt!" Xing Jianjun muttered while blanching the vegetables with one hand to prevent them from getting burnt.
He scooped another spoonful of water from the water tank and poured it into the pot.
"Brother, I did it on purpose!" Xing Yifei said with an unconcealed smile.
"Wow, brother, you are so deceiving! Whose boss's brother is as miserable as me." He dropped the firewood in his hand and looked at him.
Watching him making funny faces, I felt really angry.
"Sikong Haoqiang, you're looking for your brother. Go and call him." Xing Yifei was not familiar with them. He had deliberately stayed away from them because he often lost things.
Unexpectedly, he really came to look for Chen Dong, so he quickly ran in and told Chen Dong: "Chen Dong, he really came to look for you, run away!"
Chen Dong wondered, how did they find this place? They've been hanging around here for so many years, maybe they even have knives. He didn't want to die!
Thinking back to what he said, telling him to run, where could he run to? Behind the house was a mountain, and there was nothing to eat or drink in the mountains. How could he survive? That was really good advice. If you wanted him dead, just tell him.
Since this route is blocked, he will hide. They won't be able to find him, so they will naturally leave.
He did it right away. He threw back the bedding, got up and scanned the room for places where he could hide.
