Chapter 72 There are spies in the village (1/2)



The early morning sun shines softly on the earth, the air is filled with a fresh scent, and the beautiful morning is picturesque and refreshing.

After a simple breakfast, I went to the cowshed and thought about many things in life. They often do not change according to people's wishes. I once thought that the misfortunes were just the pain in other people's lives. I always thought that all misfortunes were far away from the people around me.

Life is not easy, so there is no need to crave for others' understanding and recognition in everything.

There were some things that left a deep impression on me at the beginning, but now they are far away. Looking back, many things have become blurred and many people have been forgotten.

While I was daydreaming, I was already in the cowshed, repeating the same busy routine every day.

The village was in an uproar that day. Spies appeared in the village. A lazy man in the village went to the captain's cellar to steal things. He dug deeper and deeper and found out that it was a cave. There was a lot of food in one cave, a radio in another cave, and two boxes of guns in another cave.

The lazy man was very scared, so he went to report to the village chief. The village chief called a meeting of militia battalion commanders. A militiaman said that he looked like a spy because he had built railways.

The village chief said: "I don't know, how do you know?"

"Oh, village chief, I saw him at his home. We have taken photos at the border between our country and foreign countries. Is he trying to flee abroad? If he does, he must be a spy."

The militia battalion commander said: "Stop talking, send someone to call the police, let's arrest the man first and don't let him escape.

When the militia captain arrested the people, Xi'an also came. He searched the cellar and found 50 sacks of corn. The villagers all went to help. There were also 12 boxes of guns and a radio.

There were many onlookers, and they were all scared. They didn't expect that there would be spies hidden in the village. If he wasn't a thief, who knows how much information he would have sent out.

An stayed in the village for a month, fearing that he might have accomplices. Later, he searched the back mountain again and found many warriors, but this time he did not find any spies.

The villagers have been afraid to talk to each other recently, as everyone is afraid that there may be spies among the people they know.

Everyone in the village was shouting "Down with the spies!" and that the spies were all gangsters.

The simple villagers are not idle in winter. They either go to the mountains to secretly hunt some game, or weave baskets, winnowing baskets or something like that at home. They are never idle.

Most of the villagers are simple and honest, except for the Little Red Guards who came and wanted to bully the people in the cowshed.

They have been living with the villagers for so many years, so there will be people to help them.

When Wang Li came here, she also helped the village chief a lot. She taught them how to use nails to pick corn on the board, which was much easier than picking it with hands. She also taught the villagers how to make liuliu with cornmeal.

I feel a little tired every day, but my life is very fulfilling.

I can talk to Wang Minghao now. Even though he is very old, he is still like a child.

The children and Lao Lu reported everything Wang Li had done from 1943 to liberation, but now she is trying to protect herself and none of the reports were approved.

Wang Minghao always accompanied Wang Li, sometimes picking grass for pigs, sometimes collecting firewood, and sometimes cleaning the cowshed, which was an important task every day. People always rushed to do it, and this lasted until 1974.

On this day, Liu Wenjuan drove a jeep to pick up Wang Li from Xiaohaizi Village.
