Shen Ruofei and Su Mianmian arrived at the commune at noon and met the educated youth who came to look for them.
Several people came to the police station again to ask about Yi Xiaoqiu's whereabouts.
Yang Gongan learned from Ji Shuyan that Yi Xiaoqiu appeared yesterday, and he knew that she was fine. He just couldn't understand where she had gone. How come a day had almost passed, and she still hadn't come back?
"Yesterday afternoon, Yi Zhiqing somehow found the den of those human traffickers. To ensure her safety, we escorted her out of the village. She must have been delayed by something, which is why she didn't come back."
Public Security Officer Yang knew that those people had serious problems, so he simply told others that they were human traffickers and didn't mention anything else.
On the morning of the 15th, after Ji Shuyan came back, he informed the police station of what happened yesterday, including the incident outside the yard where Yi Xiaoqiu appeared.
Yang Jiayu also found out about it very early.
He knew that Yi Xiaoqiu was not an ordinary female educated youth. Her strength was unmatched even by men. He felt that Yi Xiaoqiu should not encounter any accidents.
"How about this, it's getting late now, you guys go back first, I'll help keep an eye on things here, and I'll be the first to notify you if I have any news." Yang Jiayu was quite conscientious.
No one expected that a girl like Yi Xiaoqiu could actually find the lair of human traffickers. No one knew what to say.
Are you surprised? Of course you are. For them, she, a girl, went to the human traffickers' lair alone. It is really courageous.
Everyone was somewhat moved.
Several people knew that what Public Security Officer Yang said made sense. Besides, Xie Zhiqing and his companions had spent the entire night lying on chairs in the police station without much sleep, and now they had been running around all day, so they were already exhausted.
After a discussion, the few people who were captured by the human traffickers went back to rest first, while Lu Zhiqing and his companions went to the commune to wait for Yi Xiaoqiu.
When Zhao Shuhong saw Shen Ruofei and Su Mianmian coming back together, she became even more certain that the two had left her alone and run off to the den of human traffickers.
When she saw the two of them, her face showed an unhappy expression.
Shen Ruofei felt a little guilty about leaving Zhao Shuhong outside, but not too much.
According to the situation at that time, no one would choose to expose their secret. Moreover, her small convenience store had not yet been tested to see if anyone could be brought in. If she brought someone in and something unexpected happened, wouldn't that be even worse?
Besides, if she brought someone in, it was not impossible that Zhao Shuhong discovered her secret and became jealous of her golden finger, or wanted to use this secret to exchange for a chance to return to the city.
Therefore, she cannot gamble her entire life on human nature.
Su Mianmian had nothing to feel guilty about. Her relationship with Zhao Shuhong was far inferior to that with Shen Ruofei. Shen Ruofei could even run away alone, so she would not meddle in other people's business. In this era, meddling in other people's business was not a big deal. How many people helped others and were reported, had their homes searched, and were paraded through the streets the next moment?
As far as she could remember, Su Mianmian's grandfather was reported by her father. If even the father-in-law and son-in-law were like this, she should be even more careful with people who were in such a close relationship with her.
This is the situation in this era.
I don’t even have time to sweep the snow in front of my own door, let alone other things.
After Su Mianmian returned to the educated youth point, she went straight back to her room.
Seeing Zhao Shuhong's expression, Shen Ruofei knew what was going on. Fortunately, she had been thinking about the reason for her disappearance on the way back.
Shen Ruofei directly pulled Zhao Shuhong into the front room.
"Shuhong, you're so lucky to be alright!"
"Why, I'm fine, but you're disappointed?" Zhao Shuhong is not the kind of person who hides everything she has to say.
But Shen Ruofei is a thick-skinned person.
She will have to trouble Zhao Shuhong to help her make cotton clothes in the winter!
Zhao Shuhong was good at making clothes, but the cotton-padded clothes sold by the supply and marketing cooperative in winter were never as thick as those she made herself. If nothing unexpected happened, they would have to stay here for a few more years, and Shen Ruofei really didn't want to ruin their relationship.
Shen Ruofei's mouth drooped and she rubbed her eyes. "Hey! Stop talking. I'm so lucky to be able to come back alive..."
Shen Ruofei told her the story she had made up in her mind before, which immediately frightened Zhao Shuhong.
"What? You woke up and found yourself lying in a ditch?" Zhao Shuhong looked at Shen Ruofei, and the resentment on her face disappeared completely.
Shen Ruofei nodded, her face full of relief after the disaster.
"Yeah! I don't know who the hell threw me out of the car.
When I woke up in the ditch, there was no part of my body that didn't hurt.
It was pitch black all around, with no sign of human life. From time to time I could hear the howling of wolves, which scared me so much that I hid in a ditch and dared not move.
Fortunately, there was a way out. The ditch could still block the wind a little. There was a thick layer of dry grass in the ditch, and I wrapped myself in the grass, which barely allowed me to survive the night.
Shen Ruofei sounded more pitiful as she spoke, with a look of fear on her face.
Zhao Shuhong was shocked and immediately remembered what Gu Chengfeng and the others had said, "But, Gu Zhiqing and the others said they saw you being taken into that room as well."
Shen Ruofei's heart skipped a beat. "Really? Then...how did I get thrown into the wild? If I had been a little less lucky last night, I would have been fed to the wolves."
Zhao Shuhong was stunned by the question, "Could they have seen it wrong?"
Shen Ruofei didn't look like she was lying, and it was also a fact that she was not in the room. If she had escaped in front of them, how could she come back behind them?
It seems that she really wronged Shen Zhiqing. In the Great Northern Wilderness, who dares to stay alone in the wild for a night?
"I don't know either." Shen Ruofei didn't rush to deny others to avoid any setbacks.
After saying this, Zhao Shuhong's resentment subsided. "Then you should go to sleep! You must have been really scared last night."
Shen Ruofei nodded. She was not frightened, but she had indeed not rested and was running around all day, so she was indeed very tired.
"Then I'll go back to my room and sleep. If there's anything, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Shen Ruofei came out of Zhao Shuhong's room and just reached the back door when she met Xiaocao.
“Sister Shen, when will Sister Yi come back?”
Shen Ruofei bent down and touched the little guy's head, "Dear, your sister Yi will be back soon, go back to sleep! When you wake up, you will be able to see your sister Yi."
"Really?" Xiaocao blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Shen Ruofei innocently.
"Yeah!" Shen Ruofei nodded firmly.
She knew that Yi Xiaoqiu had found the human traffickers' lair in order to find them, but was still persuaded to leave by the public security personnel.
Yang Jiayu would definitely not reveal the mission assigned by the organization. He told the educated youth that the public security personnel had persuaded the educated youth to leave for their safety, and he did not reveal anything else.
Shen Ruofei felt warm and touched that Yi Xiaoqiu was alone and took risks for her.
She thought about how Yi Xiaoqiu had saved her last time, and in order to repay him, she decided to give the opportunity to Yi Xiaoqiu when the school was selecting a teacher this time.
That's right, she heard everyone talking about the team recruiting teachers on the way.
Su Mianmian lay on the kang and breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect that no one asked her how she escaped. All the explanations she had thought of on the way were useless.
Xie Xingzhi and several other male educated youth returned to the educated youth site. As soon as they entered the house, they rolled up their quilts and went to sleep.
