Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

This country boy grew up in the countryside. He would run to the mountains all day long when he had nothing to do, taking bird eggs, catching rabbits, shooting birds with a slingshot, etc. He was more familiar with the mountain environment than adults.

It was the busy farming season these days, so the school had given a half-month holiday. All the Zhao family children were at home at the moment. When they heard that something had happened to the educated youth who often gave them candy, and that Zhao Xiaosi wanted to go look for him, they all wanted to follow him. There was strength in numbers, and what if they found him?

Wang Dong and the other three educated youth also ran up the mountain. The male educated youth in the educated youth point also went up the mountain together. They were all educated youth from outside the province. If they didn't unite now, when would they unite? So, almost all the men in the Huaiyin Brigade went up the mountain just to find three female educated youth who had just come from other places to work in the countryside a few days ago.

As for the people involved, Tan Yuan and the others knew nothing about this. They ran all the way and finally left the wild boar's cry far behind them. They only slowed down their pace when Li Xiu said that he could no longer hear the wild boar's cry.

Li Xiu struggled to get off Nian Lin's back. She had carried her for such a long distance. Even if Nian Lin was very strong, she couldn't let her carry her all the time. She could walk with the help of crutches.

Nian Lin was indeed a little tired, she was already breathing heavily.

She hadn't been able to sleep well in the unfamiliar environment, so she and Guan Jianguo took turns keeping watch. She was actually injured in the fight last night, and her stomach still ached slightly.

Li Xiu's weight was not light, and her forehead was now covered in sweat.

Yesterday's crutch was used by Tan Yuan to kill a wild boar, so now they had to find a new one. With Nian Lin's support, the two of them walked quite fast.

Tan Yuan was unable to walk on her own in her current condition, so she just lay obediently on Guan Jianguo's back without moving, trying her best to reduce Guan Jianguo's burden.

They walked for an unknown amount of time, from rising to setting in the sun, and they had eaten all the food they brought with them, and there was little water left in the kettle. Only then did Tan Yuan finally see the smoke rising from the cooking stove.

"Is that the Shuiwazi Brigade?"

Looking down from the mountain, you can see the terrain below at a glance.

Shuiwazi Village, as the name suggests, means there is water. From a distance, you can only see houses as big as fists, and the large reservoir behind the brigade.

The water in the reservoir is blue and looks beautiful.

The other people also looked up and saw the reservoir and the houses. After walking for a whole day, they saw the village. How could they not be excited?

"Well, that's the Shuiwazi Brigade."

Guan Jianguo licked his lips, which were dry and chapped, and smiled.

It was not easy to get here safely. Now he just wanted to notify the team as soon as possible, then eat something and have a good sleep.

It looked so close, but it actually took me more than two hours to walk there.

Now the daytime is longer than the nighttime, and it is already past eight o'clock in the evening when it gets dark. Some children, after dinner, take advantage of the moonlight to touch eels in the fields to pass the time.

This thing tastes a bit earthy, but it tastes okay when roasted.

Tan Yuan and others also saw the Shuiwazi Brigade. There were no bare rice stalks in the fields. Their rice must have been harvested, so there were no locusts visiting.

"Shuiwazi Brigade has few fields, so they shouldn't have any problems."

The Shuwaizi Brigade has few fields but a reservoir. The grain grown by their brigade is shared among the brigade members and the educated youth. They only need to deliver a certain number of fish to the public every quarter, so the Shuwaizi Brigade is famous for its affluence in the surrounding area.

The children playing in the fields also saw Tan Yuan and her group, and all looked at them with curiosity.

A stranger, especially a stranger coming down from the mountain, it is hard not to attract other people's attention.

"Kids, your team headquarters should go that way."

Guan Jianguo asked the child closest to him, and the child pointed to a road.

Following the indicated path, the group soon arrived at the brigade headquarters.

The door of the brigade headquarters had been closed long ago, and there was no sign of anyone.

He had no choice but to ask someone for help, saying that he and others wanted to find the captain of the Shuwaizi Brigade, and he even gave him two cents for this.

He came from a bad background and every penny he had was hard-earned, so he felt particularly painful when taking money.

Although Tan Yuan's eyes were blindfolded, she could still feel what was happening. She had money, but she didn't have any on her. She silently kept it in mind, thinking that she would make up the money when she returned.

The captain of the Shuwaizi Brigade lived in the brigade and arrived at the scene in just a few minutes. Seeing that the group of people were dressed in rags and their faces were covered in mud, he heard that they were from the Huaiyin Brigade next door. Everything was clear to him and he quickly asked someone to arrange accommodation for them at the educated youth site.

The educated youth site in Shuwaizi Village was not far from the brigade headquarters. It used to be the ancestral hall of a wealthy family in the brigade, and was later converted into a educated youth site.

Building an ancestral hall for a wealthy family is a big deal. The wood and stone materials used in it are all of the best quality, and the houses are also large and spacious. Of course, the premise is that the people living in them have no taboos.

However, these educated youth now pay attention to breaking the four olds and are not superstitious, so no problems have occurred after living there for so long.

The team leader personally sent a few people to the educated youth site. The educated youth site of their team was as crowded as that of the Huaiyin team. So when he heard that a few more people were squeezing in to stay, the educated youth team leader looked at them with some unfriendly eyes. When he heard that they would only stay for one night and leave tomorrow, his expression changed again.

The new educated youth had just moved in two days ago and didn't have much stuff. It wasn't spread out everywhere like the old educated youth's stuff. The educated youth team leader simply let them squeeze in with the new educated youth.

A group of three women and one man can still fit in even if they squeeze in.

Liang Jin had the habit of taking a walk after dinner. He had just returned from his walk outside when he saw a few unfamiliar faces in the yard. He was about to pretend he didn't see them and leave when he was stopped by the leader of the educated youth team.

"It's you, Liang Zhiqing, come here."

He pointed at Liang Jin, and his meaning was clear.

"Tonight you and this... Comrade Guan, squeeze in together."

Not a discussion, but a direct order.

Liang Jin has been sleeping alone since he was old enough to understand. How could he be willing to spend a night with a grown man he didn't know or have ever seen?

When she raised her head to refuse, she saw Tan Yuan, who was carried on Bian Jianguo's back, with her eyes blindfolded and her hands wrapped in gauze, looking miserable.

His face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot in an instant, and his eyes were full of displeasure when he looked at Guan Jianguo.

"What's going on? What happened to her?"
