Rebirth of a Little Cannon Fodder

When Ji Shaowen returned home, he saw Liu Dazhuang standing at his door. "Captain, I thought you weren't coming back."

Ji Shaowen shuddered when he heard the resentful little voice: "Can you speak normally? If you can't speak normally, don't speak."

"I see, Captain. I heard from my brothers on the mountain that you thought the suspicious person was from the brigade. I thought about it when I got back. If we go by economic conditions, the one that's more suspicious is the Old Song family."

"His father ventured out into the world when he was young, but he returned home due to the strict census after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Because of this, the Song family has always been well off. But the strange thing is, given their circumstances, they should have been labeled as such when the landlords were being targeted, but they didn't get hurt at all."

"The people on the team were curious, so they kept complaining to his old lady. She didn't say anything at first, but then someone got her angry and she told her once that her husband had been with a high-ranking official when he was young, but he came back because he missed home. But they've always kept in touch and even sent him gifts every year."

"But Old Lady Song only said this once. After that, whenever the villagers asked about the Song family, they would say that she was old and confused and said that. After that, Old Lady Song never left the house."

"I heard this from my pacifier when I got home today. My grandma had a bad relationship with Old Madam Song when she was young. When she saw that the Song family was fine, she became curious. She happened to be there when Old Madam Song said this."

"Although everyone in the Song family later said that the old lady was confused, my grandmother didn't think so. She always kept this incident in her heart. Not long after that, when Old Lady Song passed away, she felt even more that something was wrong."

"But at the time, the villagers and my parents all thought that the two old people were not on good terms and that my grandmother did it on purpose. My grandmother got angry and never mentioned it again."

"Today, I heard from my brothers in the mountains that the man might be from the village, so I went home to ask my grandma about it. After all, my grandma is considered to be one of the older people in this area, and that's how she found out about Old Song's family."

"The key point is that my grandmother also said that the old lady of the Song family was in good health and didn't seem like someone who would die from a sudden illness. And she didn't see the old Song family hire a doctor during that time."

After listening to Liu Dazhuang's words, Ji Shaowen felt that he should pay more attention to the Song family.

"When the time comes, you will do this and then do this..." Soon the two of them agreed on how to keep an eye on the Song family.

There's no need to worry about Ji Shaowen as Liu Dazhuang is watching over him at Old Song's house. Tomorrow morning we'll go to the educated youth site and observe Yang Zhiqing to see if we can get any clues.

The mission Ji Shaowen and his team accepted this time was to find Xiao Rizi's laboratory on the Great Wilderness Mountain. According to reliable information, this laboratory still has a large number of test records. The country would never let Xiao Rizi take these things back. It's a pity that the person who spread the news disappeared inexplicably. The organization only knows that this laboratory is in the Great Wilderness Mountain but does not know its specific location.

This laboratory was set up by Xiao Rizi in our country during the Anti-Japanese War, and it killed many of our compatriots. So no matter what, he must find this laboratory and destroy it.

The next day, Ji Shaowen went to the Youth League Home.

"Comrade Ji, all the educated youth in our brigade are already here. Shall we start now?"

"Then let's start now!"

"Hello, everyone! I'm today's safety educator. My name is Ji Shaowen. You can call me Comrade Ji."

"The team leader heard that Yang Zhiqing from our Zhiqingyuan accidentally fell and injured himself at the foot of the mountain, so he specially asked me to come here to spread some safety knowledge to everyone."

"Including the newly arrived educated youth, everyone has been in our brigade for quite some time, but we may not have been to the mountains very often. Our Daqing Mountain..."

An hour later, Ji Shaowen ended the safety education meeting.

"I don't know which one is Yang Zhiqing. When I came here, the captain specifically asked me to check on Yang Zhiqing's injuries."

"Brother Shaowen, this is Yang Zhiqing," Li Bin quickly introduced Ji Shaowen.

"Yang Zhiqing, do you remember how you fell down the mountain that day?"

"I don't remember it clearly. I just remember running up the mountain, and then I heard the sounds of animals. I got scared, so I ran back. Then I didn't know what happened. The next time I woke up, I was in the Youth League."

After listening to Yang Zhiqing's answer, Ji Shaowen comforted him with a few words and then left the Zhiqing site.

Looking at Yang Zhiqing's injuries, combined with his words and the brother on the mountain's investigation, Yang Zhiqing should be just a little above the foot of the mountain. Logically, there should be no large animals at that location. After all, there has never been an incident of animals coming down the mountain to attack humans in the Dahuang Brigade for so many years.

Could it be that the sound that Yang Zhiqing heard was artificially made to scare Yang Zhiqing away?

If it was really a man-made act, why did this person not harm Yang Zhiqing but only scared her away? Was he afraid of a fatal incident or was he kind enough to give her a chance to live?

Ji Shaowen went all the way back home, and soon Liu Dazhuang came.

"Boss, the eldest grandson of the Song family didn't come to work today."

"By not showing up for work, you mean there's something wrong with this person."

"It's not a big deal, but it's a little strange. The eldest grandson of the Song family is called Song Jianshe. He's 20 years old this year. He's always been a well-known capable young man in the team. He always gets full work points and has never been absent without reason."

"But he didn't come today. Didn't you ask me to keep an eye on the people in Old Song's family? I found out that Song Jianshe didn't come to work, so I came to tell you about it."

"Then do you know why he didn't come to work?"

"I asked his family, and his mother said she had a cold and didn't come. But I saw that her eyes were red, as if she had just cried. If she just had a cold, she wouldn't cry!"

"Later, I asked my grandmother to inquire about the matter. I heard from his neighbors that Song Jianshe had angered his grandfather for some reason and was beaten by him. The beating was quite severe and he couldn't come to work."

"I heard from the neighbor that it was useless for Song Jianshe's parents to plead with the old man. The old man even threatened that as a father-in-law, he couldn't beat his daughter-in-law but could beat his son. As long as Song Jianshe's parents pleaded, he would beat his son directly."

"Once those words were spoken, Song Jianshe's parents were left with no choice but to watch their son get beaten. The commotion lasted until late at night, and the neighbors couldn't sleep well either."

Song Jianshe, it seems that I should pay more attention to Song Jianshe. Maybe I can get some useful information from him.

"Okay, I get it. You continue to pay attention to the Song family, but be careful not to be too conspicuous so as not to be discovered."

"Don't worry, Captain. If I want to know about the Song family, I don't need to ask anyone else. My grandma is enough."

"Don't even mention the Song family. There's nothing in our brigade that my grandma doesn't know."

"Okay, okay, our grandma is still the best."
