Hang yourself at the beginning, empty the family and go to the countryside

The morning light is dim.

It shone through the window crack onto Xu Mingzhao's face.

Xu Mingzhao slowly opened his eyes.

There was confusion in his eyes.

Then I began to think, and later became suspicious.

Finally it turned into surprise.

He turned his head to look at the other three people on the bunk bed.

Zhou Aiguo, Zhou Zhuang, and Chen Shuo.

All three were fast asleep.

This is very wrong.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Shuo would get up at dawn, either to fetch water or to collect firewood.

It has never happened before that someone is still asleep so late at night.

Thinking of this, Xu Mingzhao's brows wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character.

He stood up and carefully examined Zhou Aiguo.

I breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the little guy was just asleep and not anything else.

After checking again, he found that the money and bills he had hidden were still there.

It seems that someone is targeting them!

who can that be?

Zhou Zhuang? Chen Shuo?

The two men didn't wake up either.

Or did he drug himself afterwards?

Or Zhou Yizi from next door?

People from the village?

outsider?

It shouldn’t be!

They have been very low-key since they came here.

They behaved like the educated youth around them.

Outsiders can’t possibly know!

Sometimes I buy some candies and snacks to satisfy Aiguo’s cravings.

They didn't do anything out of the ordinary!

……

Could it be that the money he hid was discovered by the people at the educated youth point?

But how was it discovered?

The person who did it this time should be someone from the educated youth site.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for everyone in the educated youth site to be unconscious.

Was it drugged?

Yes, it should be drugged.

Otherwise, everyone wouldn't be sleeping so soundly.

Just as Xu Mingzhao was thinking about it.

When you are in doubt.

There was also movement from the female educated youth.

It seems that the effect of the medicine has worn off and everyone has gotten up.

I just don’t know if these people can find out that there is something fishy going on during their deep sleep that night.

……

Xu Mingzhao didn't move either, just sat there.

Listening to the chirping sounds outside.

It doesn't sound real.

First, I heard the creaking sound of the courtyard door opening.

This courtyard gate has been closed for too long, and it has been raining from time to time these days.

The air is moist.

The iron fittings on the door are rusted!

Then, the voices of several female educated youth were heard.

From whispering to whispering in the ear.

The sound is getting louder and louder.

"What's wrong with your lips?" Lin Min's voice came vaguely through the window.

"I don't know, Sister Lin Min, it's so itchy, is there a bug crawling over there?" Su Jiaqi said in a crying voice.

"Oh, don't scratch it, it must be a bug bite!" Zhao Lu said to Su Jiaqi angrily.

"Let's go buy some medicine. I hope there are really bugs. This is too scary..." Li Fang said timidly.

Then there was a slight sound of a door opening. "What's going on? What are you making noise for so early in the morning?" Zhou Yizi's voice sounded slightly dissatisfied.

"Su Zhiqing, what's wrong with you? Why is your mouth swollen?" Qin Ruixian also stood up.

"What's the big deal? It's just a bug bite. Looks like we need to clean it up, burn some mugwort or something. Otherwise, we'll be the next one!"

"It's getting increasingly humid. We haven't seen a sunny day yet. It's bound to be full of bugs!"

Qian Huan's dissatisfied grumbles followed.

When Xu Mingzhao heard these noises, he shook his head.

These people's vigilance is too poor.

Zhou Aiguo, who was standing next to him, also woke up and saw his brother-in-law sitting next to him.

Sometimes he frowns so hard that he can kill a fly, and sometimes he shakes his head.

Very puzzled.

He yawned, his mouth wide open, revealing his big white teeth.

He rubbed his eyes again.

Rub away the eye mucus from the corners of your eyes.

He asked this question when Xu Mingzhao looked over.

"Brother, what are you doing? Are you missing my sister?"

They have been here for more than half a month.

I don’t know if his old man misses him.

The food here is not good either, barely enough to have a full meal.

The sleeping space is not good either, as they all sleep on large bunk beds.

Zhou Zhuang also snores very loudly. When he first came, he didn't sleep for several days.

Chen Shuo is a guy who doesn't like to be clean.

Still have to work every day.

He had several blisters on his hands, which then broke and new ones grew.

It hurts so much!

The old captain said that it would be fine once the calluses grew out.

Thinking of this, Zhou Aiguo raised his hand and looked at it.

The originally white and tender hands have turned black and rough.

Even so, his brother helped him most of the way.

Looking at his brother again, his face was getting darker and darker.

This face is getting uglier and uglier!

I hope his sister doesn't dislike his brother.

Otherwise, he would feel guilty.

because.

This must be partly due to the exhaustion from helping him.

……

During breakfast.

Xu Mingzhao finally met Su Jiaqi.

At this time, Su Jiaqi's lips were already badly swollen.

Hanging there like two sausages.

Very scary.

And very funny.

The terrible thing is that Su Jiaqi always can't help scratching.

If it is scratched, yellow water will flow out.

Xu Mingzhao was so scared that he finished his meal in a few bites, grabbed his little one and ran away.

What if this gets contagious?

And last night.

It was obvious that they were all drugged!

The only way to do this is probably to put drugs in the food.

Then it can only be the people in the educated youth camp.

……

After dinner, Xu Mingzhao asked Zhou Yizi for leave.

Zhou Yizi agreed immediately.

By the way, I also borrowed a pound of food coupons from Xu Mingzhao.

As far as Xu Mingzhao knew, Zhou Yizi's family should be well off.

It is obvious that his daily food, clothing and other expenses are much better than those of these people.

However, these work points earned in the production team were barely enough to make ends meet.

The main reason why he can live such a comfortable life is because of his family, who send him packages, money and bills every month.

I don’t know what happened, but I heard that I haven’t received it in the past two months.

Could it be that something unexpected happened at home?

But Xu Mingzhao didn't ask any more questions.

After saying hello.

So I went back to the room.

While no one is in the room.

From the locked box, find four packs of Class A cigarettes.

Today's cigarettes are divided into three grades: Class A, Class B, and Class C.

A pack of Grade A costs fifty cents, a pack of Grade B costs twenty-eight cents, and a pack of Grade C costs twenty cents.

Not only is it expensive, but you also need cigarette coupons to buy it.

Xu Mingzhao stuffed the packs of cigarettes into his trouser pockets.

Just walked out of the gate of the educated youth site.

I strolled to the brigade headquarters.

As soon as I entered the yard, I smelled a faint smell of smoke.

It seems that several people in the brigade headquarters all smoke.

Sure enough, at the door of the house, I saw three men sitting in front of the desk, smoking.

Xu Mingzhao did not step forward rashly.

He knocked on the door...

……

Xiao Aijun was puffing on his pipe.

His brows were furrowed.

The rain these past few days is not right.

He also discussed this issue with the elderly in the village.

Those experienced elderly people also looked worried when they heard this question.

Several even said that there might be a major flood this year.

Let them pay attention and be prepared.

When Xiao Aijun heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

If there is a flood, people will die.

When the water comes, houses collapse, and food production decreases or even disappears...

After so many years, they have worked hard to run this place, and everyone can finally have a full meal.

At least no one has starved to death in recent years.

Although sometimes there is a lot of rain and sometimes there is little rain.

The grain yield in the fields varies.

But it hasn't reached the point of a flood.

As I was thinking about this, I suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Xiao Aijun suddenly shuddered.

I was stunned for a second.

Are you scared?

Then I felt funny again.

Am I really old?

Back then, he pulled people out from the sea of blood and corpses.

I haven't seen myself so scared.

Am I really getting old?
