Ever since Yang Hang dug the trap on the mountain on the Mid-Autumn Festival, when he went to check again, there were no live rabbits caught, only a few bloody rabbits and pheasants lying there.
Yang Hang felt that the barbs in his trap were too long. This was not okay. He had to fill the trap he had set up before.
This way, no danger will be caused to others. Fortunately, few people come to this mountain. I heard that there were accidents when wolves came here before, so gradually fewer people come here.
As for the rabbits and ewes that A Yao wanted, he decided to go to the nearby villages to have a look.
After filling the trap, Yang Hang went home with the dead rabbit and pheasant.
The babies were taking a nap at this time, and A Yao was working on her manuscript. Yang Hang processed the wild animals himself and waited for Chu Yao to dry them so that they would have meat to eat in the winter.
This time when Chu Yao went to the town to submit her work, she did not bring the babies with her. She just asked Yang Hang to look after the babies at home. Chu Yao said that she would be back soon.
The town today seems to be different from the usual lively ones. Everyone is walking in a hurry, as if they are being chased by something.
Chu Yao didn't understand what was going on, so she followed the crowd and saw everyone gathered in a spacious area in the town.
Before Chu Yao walked into the crowd, she heard people outside shouting loudly: "Kill them, kill them!"
Chu Yao looked at the crowd curiously. There was a group of old men in the crowd, and a group of HWB were beating several old men. Those old men seemed to feel no pain. They were being beaten as if they were not the ones being beaten.
They were wearing hats made of white paper that were propped up high, and had signs with words on them. They knelt numbly.
The fists of those young people fell on them like sandbags, and some people spat at them. Some old men fell down and did not stand up immediately, so those people kicked them directly, as if they had some hatred against these old men.
The bodies of the old men were covered in blood mixed with saliva, and no one tried to wipe them off. They just knelt there or lay down, allowing those people to beat and scold them.
The young men looked ferocious and vicious, the old men's eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, and their faces were numb to the extreme. They had suffered this situation for too long, too long.
They long for a day of innocence, but worry whether they can live to see that day. They have seen too much, so many respected elders, so many people like them, whose wives and children are separated and their families are broken up, and some people can't bear it and commit suicide.
They didn't wait until dawn, but could they have waited?
Chu Yao wanted to tell them loudly that they could wait, it would be soon, within one or two years, but she couldn't say anything, she couldn't do anything, she didn't even dare to shed tears.
She didn't dare to watch anymore. She was afraid that she would get impulsive and beat up the perpetrators, but she knew that she couldn't. Not only could she not do that, she had to stand by and watch.
Although Chu Yao knew about these cruel ten years in later life, it was the first time she saw such a situation. She was a little overwhelmed, but she also understood that she could not do anything alone and could not resist the wheel of the times.
Chu Yao no longer had the heart to submit her work, so she left the crowd and headed home.
Chu Yao didn't even dare to look back at those old men, those onlookers, and those violent people.
Chu Yao returned home and went straight to the main room to rest.
Yang Hang saw Chu Yao coming back and felt that something was wrong with A Yao today. Usually, no matter what A Yao did in town, she would buy some biscuits or something for the babies. But today, A Yao not only came back early, but also went directly to the main room and did not come to the main room to see the babies.
Yang Hang was a little anxious and wanted to let the babies take a nap early, but the babies, who were usually obedient, just refused to sleep. Yang Hang had no choice but to postpone visiting Chu Yao and patiently coax the babies to sleep.
It was half an hour later when the babies fell asleep. Only then did Yang Hang get up and go to the main room to see Chu Yao.
Chu Yao hadn't closed the main room door, so Yang Hang politely knocked on it. However, there was no response from inside. Could it be that A Yao had fallen asleep? Yang Hang wondered.
He simply pushed the door open and went in. Chu Yao was sitting at the sewing machine, staring blankly, and didn't even notice Yang Hang coming in.
At this time, Chu Yao's eyes were red and her eyes were dull. She just sat there blankly, like a wandering soul.
This was the first time Yang Hang saw A Yao like this. Yang Hang was very worried and he walked up quickly.
"Ayao, is it that the newspaper doesn't want your manuscript? Or did you encounter something else when you went to town? Don't keep it in your heart, it will feel better if you talk about it. I'm here with you."
Chu Yao just realized that Yang Hang had come into the main room without her knowing when.
Chu Yao shook her head and just looked at Yang Hang without saying anything.
Yang Hang became even more anxious. He squatted down and tilted his head back to look at Chu Yao so that he could see her expression more clearly. He was afraid that she had suffered some grievance but would not tell anyone.
"Ayao, can you please talk to me? Don't be alone."
Chu Yao had heard a saying in her previous life: to see whether a person likes you or not, just look at whether the reflection in his eyes is you.
At this moment, Chu Yao could see clearly that the reflection in Yang Hang's eyes included herself and his impatience.
Although Chu Yao has accepted the life here since she came here, it does not mean that she has forgotten her previous life. The previous Chu Yao was born and raised under the red flag. Although there were bad things, they were not as great as the impact she had today. Those old people used to be the best among men.
And now, what are those young people doing?
