After two days of calm, Zhang Yuwan asked for leave from the brigade again. Since becoming an educated youth, she has taken more days off than she has worked.

During the day, she would lock the door in her room alone, take out a bag of beef jerky, mix a bowl of milk and start studying newspapers and red books, and occasionally write and draw in her notebook.

Every day the children in the village would bring her some chestnuts and wild fruits that they had picked. She was feeling very comfortable now, and it would be even better if she had no injuries.

Lying down like this is the real life!

The package of beef jerky was sent by Song Changzhou from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The meat was firm and tender. For someone who had not eaten meat for a long time, Zhang Yuwan felt the happiness of a mouse falling into a rice jar when he received this big package of beef jerky.

Zhang Yuwan was afraid of eating too fast, so he took out one at a time and nibbled it in small bites. It took him almost half a day to finish one stick.

After Song Changzhou gave her the food, he disappeared, but Han Bin would appear in front of her these two days.

"Where's Song Changzhou?" Zhang Yuwan watched Han Bin chopping wood while she sat in the yard basking in the sun, one shoe on one foot and one sock on the other, legs crossed, swaying back and forth. Her upper body rested on the back of the chair, her chin resting on her hands, a teething stick in her mouth. Oh! Beef jerky.

Han Bin felt bad when he saw that the beef jerky he had worked so hard to get was being given away by someone shamelessly without leaving a single bite for him. Now the person who received the gift knew nothing about it and was chewing it in front of him without any scruples.

Who tricked me into losing a Sanda fight with him? The punch to my chest still hurts!

"He went to apply for a piece of equipment." Han Bin, the emotionless wood-chopping machine, replied dryly.

"What kind of equipment is this? It takes several days to apply for it because it's so difficult? And your detection speed is too slow! I see others just test once and then finish. You keep testing over and over again. You are obviously slacking off! And you pretend to be busy." The words of the straight woman hit the soul directly!

"A relatively sophisticated instrument, except that it's expensive, it's not very useful. I told him there's no need to get that thing, it's a waste of time and money. He didn't listen and insisted on applying for it." The wood splitter had a hint, but unfortunately someone didn't understand it.

"Well! Song Changzhou is a bit stubborn by nature!" Anyway, he will slack off at work anyway, and he insists on getting sophisticated instruments. The leaders are watching him, and how can he explain to them if he can't produce any results?

Suddenly, the shrill sound of gongs outside interrupted their conversation.

Han Bin looked out sharply, then looked at Zhang Yuwan calmly, his face showing no emotion as he said calmly, "Just sit still and don't run around. Even if someone asks you to go out, don't go out. Don't go anywhere until I come back."

After staying in the village for so many days, he knew the meaning of the gong sound; it must be an emergency.

There has been unrest in the village recently. According to the intelligence they collected, enemy spies should be active. He and Song Changzhou discussed going to report, and Song Changzhou also required a personal application.

Before leaving, he made sure to instruct his men to take good care of Zhang Yuwan and not let anyone out of his sight except at night.

Han Bin felt inexplicably irritated. After thinking for a while, he walked into the house, found his weapon, and put it on his back.

After a pause, he stepped back, pulled up Zhang Yuwan's right hand, and put the wooden cannon in her hand.

Zhang Yuwan was shocked. Is this true? This is too cruel!

"Keep it for self-defense!" Han Bin said calmly.

"I don't know how to use it! I don't dare! How do you have this thing?" Zhang Yuwan looked at the hot potato in his hand nervously.

Han Bin didn't have time to explain to her. He picked up the wooden magazine, held the top with his left hand and pulled it back. "It can be used after loading. There are five bullets in it."

When he left, he glanced at Zhang Yuwan with concern and reminded her subtly, "Hide your valuables first."

Han Bin has always been very sensitive to danger. The sound of gongs outside the village never stopped. The rapid and monotonous sound made people feel depressed.

Han Bin quickly left the educated youth site facing Zhang Yuwan's nervous gaze.

Zhang Yuwan stood up, jumped into the room on one foot, and packed his things.

She began to wait for Han Bin to come back, from morning to after lunch, and from lunch to mid-afternoon.

I drank a glass of milk and ate two pieces of beef jerky in the middle.

Then he waited quietly in the house.

As time passed, there was still no news, as if the entire village had disappeared.

This made Zhang Yuwan gradually anxious. If something happened to Han Bin, at least the people from the educated youth center should have returned! But no one from the educated youth center returned.

She couldn't help but start to think wildly, and the more she thought, the more confused she became. No matter what happened, it made her extremely anxious and uneasy.

The sound of footsteps at the door made her hold the door frame and look out. She saw that the person coming was indeed Wang Qiaofang from the educated youth point.

"Sister Wang, why did you come back alone?" Zhang Yuwan looked at Wang Qiaofang and then looked behind her where no one was and asked.

"Xiao Zhang, something happened, something big happened!" Wang Qiaofang looked at Zhang Yuwan who was standing on one leg at the door, and quickly went over to support her.

"What happened, Sister Wang?" There must be a fight! Zhang Yuwan thought of Liu Laolai's appearance. Could it be that Han Bin beat Liu Laolai?

It is really troublesome that the villagers help their relatives but not their parents!

"Han Bin killed someone!" Wang Qiaofang dropped a bombshell.

"What? He killed someone? This is impossible? How could he kill someone?" Zhang Yuwan looked incredulous.

How could someone who was fine this morning disappear in just half a day? Or was he murdered? This is absolutely impossible!

Zhang Yuwan was extremely certain in his heart that Han Bin was not an impulsive person and he acted with discretion.

Wang Qiaofang said with certainty: "He did kill someone! He has been subdued by the villagers and is being taken into custody for execution!"

"How is this possible? Isn't shooting someone now lynching? It's illegal." Zhang Yuwan grabbed Wang Qiaofang's arm and wanted her to deny what she had just said.

"The villagers' anger cannot be suppressed at all now. If he is not executed, the whole village will make trouble," Wang Qiaofang explained.

"Who did he kill?"

"Liu Laolai!"

Zhang Yuwan was petrified for a moment, unable to react for a moment. "Did he have a conflict with Liu Laolai just now? Was it Liu Laolai who started it?"

"Liu Laolai was hit to death two days ago. Someone just saw his body at the west end of the village."

Two days ago!

Zhang Yuwan's face was pale. Two days ago, Liu Laolai followed her and tried to rape her. Later, she was rescued by Song Changzhou. Han Bin was also there at the time.

"No, it can't be Han Bin. He can't kill anyone!" Zhang Yuwan said firmly.

"How do you know Han Bin didn't kill anyone? Did you see it with your own eyes? You sprained your foot two days ago, and Liu Laolai also died two days ago."

"This is such a coincidence! What do you think?" Wang Qiaofang asked aggressively.

"It's not a coincidence! I met Liu Laolai that day, and he followed me." Zhang Yuwan told the truth.

"Then the three of you killed him!" Wang Qiaofang asked nervously with her eyes wide open.

This made Zhang Yuwan very uncomfortable. She hadn't even seen why he was so sure about it. This was a human life, how could he treat it like such a joke?

"I can prove that Han Bin is innocent. We cannot let Han Bin suffer injustice."

"Can you really do it? Then come with me quickly, otherwise it will be too late." Wang Qiaofang held Zhang Yuwan's right hand and was about to walk out.

"Sister Wang, I can't move my feet at all. If we walk over like this, the daylilies will get cold." Zhang Yuwan reminded Wang Qiaofang.

Wang Qiaofang frowned as she looked at Zhang Yuwan's injured foot and gritted her teeth. "Wait for me while I find a car."

Zhang Yuwan looked at her departing back, his eyes darkening a little.

"I'll find a car, let's go there quickly..." Wang Qiaofang's hurried words suddenly stopped, as if something was stuck in her throat and she couldn't make a sound.

She looked at Zhang Yuwan holding a wooden gun, and the dark mouth of the gun was facing her.

"Xiao Zhang!" Wang Qiaofang squeezed out these two words with difficulty.

"Sister Wang, close the door! Just stand there and don't move!" Zhang Yuwan's face darkened and his eyes were cold.

"I want to ask Sister Wang a question."

"You say!" Wang Qiaofang sneered as she stood at the door.

"How did you know the three of us were together on the day Liu Laolai died? I never told you!"

"Well! Because I was the one who stoned Liu Laolai to death that day!"

Zhang Yuwan opened her eyes wide in surprise, and Wang Qiaofang's cold smile was reflected in her pupils.
