Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

"There's only the female comrade I just rescued inside. There's no one else."

Fu Jianguo's voice was very hoarse, which was also the sequelae of the smoke from the fire. If he talked to others like this at other times, others would definitely stay away from him.

When Zhao Ze heard that there was no one inside, it meant that Xiaolian was safe for the time being. His tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and his hands began to tremble slightly from repeatedly putting out the fire with water.

While the two were talking, they heard children shouting outside the Youth League Home. Upon careful listening, they found that the strong laborers who were watching the movie had come to the Youth League Home to put out the fire.

Those who stayed in the threshing ground were the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. While they were putting out the fire, the movie had already ended, so those who stayed behind walked back together.

A disobedient child was running wildly and "accidentally" fell into the cornfield. He "coincidentally" found the "unconscious" Shi Xiaolian, and hurried over to call for help to get the person out first.

When Zhao Ze heard that someone was unconscious in the cornfield, he asked for the exact location and went there, not caring whether his hands were shaking or not. When he saw that the person was fine except for being "unconscious", he prepared to carry the person home.

But at this moment his arms were weak and he couldn't lift the person up at all, and he almost dropped the person.

In the end, he had to ask those elderly aunts to help put the person on their backs, and he finally carried the person back home.

He often came to Shi Yan's courtyard, and every time he came in he could smell the faint fragrance of flowers, but he only entered the small room where Shi Yan slept a few times at the beginning. After confirming their relationship, he didn't even dare to glance inside, for fear of his youthful impetuosity.

At this moment, his beloved was still in a coma, lying defenselessly on the bed. Zhao Ze couldn't help swallowing his saliva and stretched out his trembling hand to touch the face of the person lying on the bed.

The delicate touch was so addictive that Zhao Ze felt like there was a fire in his heart that made it hard for him to breathe.

Until he realized that his beloved's face was so close to him and their lips were tightly pressed together, Zhao Ze sat up and slapped himself.

With a loud "pop" sound, Shi Yan, who had been pretending to be unconscious, suddenly burst into tears. She simply pretended to have just woken up and opened her eyes.

"I, what's wrong with me? Why am I so dizzy?"

"Xiao Lian, you're awake. I just carried you home from the cornfield. What happened to you that you fainted in the field?"

Shi Yan: "I just accompanied Liu Zhiqing back to the Youth Courtyard, but after walking for a while, I felt dizzy. Later, my whole body felt heavy and I couldn't walk. I could only lean on Liu Zhiqing."

"Later, Liu Zhiqing was also overwhelmed, and then I fainted and lost consciousness."

"By the way, where is Liu Zhiqing?"

What Shi Yan said was the truth, so it was not false at all, and no one could find fault with it.

"You mean, Liu Zhiqing was still there before you fainted, right?"

Zhao Ze's mind worked quickly and he immediately heard the key.

"Yes." Shi Yan nodded obediently. Coupled with her somewhat hazy eyes, Zhao Ze inexplicably felt itchy in his heart.

"Cough cough..." Zhao Ze coughed lightly a few times, distanced himself from Shi Yan, and then continued speaking.

"I know about this. Something else happened while you were in a coma. I'm going to go back and talk to my father about you. Have a good rest. I'll come to see you tomorrow during the day."

After saying that, Zhao Ze ran away as if his butt was on fire.

After leaving the courtyard, Zhao Ze's expression returned to normal. At this moment, because of the fire in the Youth League Home, everyone was still there to help. Until now, there was still black smoke coming out from the direction of the Youth League Home, but there was no flames.

Zhao Ze walked quickly over there, thinking that if Xiaolian fainted in the cornfield was related to that Liu Zhiqing, he would never let her off easily.

"Oh my, this fire is really weird. It was so big that I thought the house would have to be torn down and rebuilt. I didn't expect that the fire burned for a long time and only burned the doors and windows. Nothing in the house was damaged."

When Zhao Ze arrived, all the strong men in the village were there, and the one who spoke was a young woman who was helping to put out the fire.

He overheard what everyone was talking about. They were either talking about how strange the fire was, or about how Liu Zhiqing was so untidy that he wore nothing even inside the house.

Anyway, as the conversation progressed, the young wives and old sisters-in-law became more and more outrageous, and he, who was used to hanging around in the village, couldn't stand it anymore.

I wonder why these married girls, who used to look so honest and shy, become so bold after getting married.

But then I thought about my partner. It would be nice if he or she could be so bold after we got married, but the prerequisite is that he or she should only be bold with myself.

Retracting his thoughts that were about to drift away, Zhao Ze hurried to Zhao De's side and told him what he had learned and what happened when he and Fan Junjie came here today.

"Dad, I suspect Xiaolian was drugged, and the drug was given by Liu Zhiqing. Xiaolian was fine during the day, but after eating Liu Zhiqing's cakes, she said she felt dizzy."

"It's possible that the drug was put in the cake. The cake was handed to Xiaolian by the woman herself."

Zhao Ze spoke without controlling his voice, and several male educated youth heard it. When they heard that it was related to pastries, several people came over.

"We ate some cakes too, so how come nothing happened to us? Oh, by the way! The cakes that Junjie ate were given to him by Liu Zhiqing. Junjie, do you feel any discomfort?"

When Fan Junjie's name was called, his face froze. He thought of his sudden stomachache, Liu Xiao who was carried out naked, the fire that was started after they arrived, and Liu Xiao who appeared in the male educated youth's room...

This is not a very clever calculation. There are many unreasonable aspects to it, and you can find clues if you think about it for a while.

Fan Junjie felt extremely angry, but also felt fortunate to have survived a disaster. He did not hide anything and told Zhao De his guess.

Zhao De was also very angry. This was the first time that educated youth came to their village, and they started to cause trouble not long after arriving. He was not afraid of making things worse. If the educated youth was dishonest or had bad intentions, he could send her directly back to the Educated Youth Office and let the leaders of the Office reassign her.

At this moment, Liu Xiao, who planned everything, was still in a coma. When she woke up early the next morning, everything had become clear.

Zhao De found residual powder of laxatives and aphrodisiacs in Liu Xiao's house. Now, with all the physical and personal evidence, it was proven that Liu Xiao had persecuted his revolutionary partners and destroyed collective property, and was exiled to the cowshed.

All the money she had on her was used to compensate the village as well as Fan Junjie and Shi Yan for their losses.

She then used the work points she earned to maintain basic food rations and donated the rest to the village.
