The cannon fodder female supporting role stirs up trouble in period literature

Chu Yingfa was embarrassed. "She hasn't had time yet, has she? But I'm not the only educated youth in the educated youth center who was frightened by her."

At that time, the separation of men and women was strictly controlled. The woman was not arrested even though she was like this, which shows that she must have a strong family background, like Shang Huaiyu.

However, it won't be long before the Shang family falls. Not counting what the Shang family has done, just thinking about the girls and wives that Shang Huaiyu bullied during his time in the countryside, his fate will not be good.

Hua Honeysuckle used her special ability to explore the way and actually picked a lot of mushrooms. It was just that the season was not right, so many mushrooms were no longer available. But there were some mushrooms that were only available at this time, which made Hua Honeysuckle very happy to collect. In the evening, she would use these mushrooms to make chicken soup for Xia Yu.

Chu Yingfa was very surprised. Although there were fewer mushrooms on the mountain in winter, they were not so clean.

There are still as many poisonous mushrooms, but there are almost no edible mushrooms. Even if some people go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, they don’t pick them so cleanly. It’s really strange.

Fortunately, Hua Honeysuckle stopped collecting mushrooms except for some that he had never seen before, and Chu Yingfa also took the two of them to pick up some mushrooms.

It was already past four o'clock when Hua Rendong returned to the brigade. After collecting two bags of mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots that the brigade leader had dried himself, she was about to say goodbye and leave.

Unexpectedly, when they came out of the captain's house, they saw a very familiar figure. Before the two of them could speak, the man ran towards them in surprise and reached out to hold Xia Yu's hand.

"Comrade Xia? Comrade Hua? What a coincidence, are you here on a business trip to our brigade this time?"

Xia Yu also smiled and shook hands with him, "Yeah, what a coincidence, we were just passing by, I didn't expect you to cut in line here."

Xie Zhan was puzzled, "Passing by? Our team is deep in the mountains. Are you going to the mountains on a business trip?"

His originally enthusiastic attitude suddenly turned cold, and his eyes suddenly turned into looking at the two of them as if they were enemies.

Xia Yu was also helpless. He never expected that the educated youth he met on the bus would meet him here again by chance. No wonder he became suspicious of their identities.

He pulled Xie Zhan aside, took out the ID he had used to pretend to be a police officer on the bus, and waved it in front of Xie Zhan. Seeing that his attitude had softened again, he whispered, "We are here to carry out a mission this time. The target is hidden in the mountains. Don't tell anyone."

Xie Zhan nodded hurriedly, "I see, it's related to the quarry in the mountains, right?"

Xia Yu really didn't know if there was any quarry on the mountain, so he simply shut up after hearing what he said. Xie Zhan thought he was inconvenient to reveal it, and slapped himself on the mouth, "Look at my mouth, your mission must be confidential, I shouldn't ask."

Xia Yu gave him an approving smile, and Xie Zhan straightened his back as if he had been commended by his superiors. "Comrade Xia, if there is anything you need my help with, just let me know."

Xia Yu nodded at him, "Comrade Xie is indeed an educated youth, and his awareness is high."

After the two exchanged greetings, Xia Yu and Hua Rendong said goodbye again. Xie Zhan stood there and waved at them for a long time, until he could no longer see them, and then he left reluctantly.

After Hua Rendong put the two large bags of dried mushrooms into the space, he said to Xia Yu: "Comrade Xie is quite enthusiastic. The two of you just acted like old friends who were bidding farewell to each other after many years."

Xia Yu frowned, and after a while he said, "He said there is a quarry on the mountain?"

"So what? Is it an illegal mine?" Hua Rendong was a little surprised by his focus. Normally, there was nothing strange about having a mine in the mountains. As long as it was not illegal, it was normal. But she was puzzled by the fact that he seemed to care so much about it.

Xia Yu smiled strangely, "Come on, I'll take you to have some fun!"

Although he had a smile on his face, there was murderous intent in his eyes. Hua Honeysuckle shuddered, wondering if the murderer of his father was in that quarry.

However, I have known him for such a long time, but I have never heard him talk about his family. Could it be that he was really persecuted? Are the people who persecuted his family in that mine?

Anyway, there is no rush to practice for a day or two. If he says he wants to have fun, then let's go and take a look!

Xia Yu took out several maps from him, picked one out, searched on it, compared it with his current location, and finally pointed his finger at a location only a dozen miles away, "This is it, we'll stay there tonight."

Hua Honeysuckle leaned forward to take a look. There was no name on it, only "219 Mine" written on it.

It was only a dozen miles away. Even though it was all uphill, it was just a few steps for Honeysuckle now. The two of them walked quickly. Along the way, Honeysuckle collected some medicinal herbs and mushrooms that were not in the space. They arrived in about half an hour.

There was no sign hanging on the quarry, but even though it was already dark, the clanging sounds of stone being chiseled could be heard from a long distance away.

At that time, those who could work in the quarry, apart from some strong locals who wanted to make a living, were mostly those who had been sent down for labor reform.

At this time, as it was getting dark, a fire had been lit in the quarry, and next to the fire were workers who were trying their best to chisel large stones into small ones.

Hua Honeysuckle discovered that except for a few strong men, the rest were malnourished and looked like they would collapse at any time. In particular, there were a few women among them who were doing heavy physical labor like the men, but their situation was obviously worse than that of the men.

Xia Yu's gaze swept across the faces of those people one by one, and finally fell on a man and a woman who were numbly chiseling stones in the corner. Hatred burst out in his eyes instantly, and was seen by Hua Honeysuckle who turned her head to look at him.

Hua Rendong had no doubt that he wanted to strangle the person over there to death.

What kind of deep hatred must this be? Seeing them suffer here is not enough to satisfy their hatred?

Just when Xia Yu was thinking about whether to kill them with a thunderbolt, someone grabbed his hand. He turned around and saw the concern in Hua Rendong's eyes. He heard her voice, "Don't be angry. Isn't it more satisfying to see them living a life worse than death here?"

Xia Yu was slightly stunned, and was magically healed by her words, "Yes, let them suffer here forever!"

After saying that, he pointed at the man and woman and said, "That's the man my mother chose blindly, and the woman next to him is his concubine, and they have a son who is only a few years younger than me.

Before that woman, he had a second wife. Their son was a few months older than me. That woman died early, so he brought their son back home, saying he was a relative's child and asked my mother to help him raise the child.

For his own future, he reported my grandfather for having overseas connections and had my mother, my grandfather and their family of seven sent down to the countryside. If I had not joined the department at that time, I might have also fallen victim to his murder.

He probably never imagined that, after failing to crush me to death, I was able to make him, his concubine, and his other two sons suffer, right?"
