Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

Everyone walked together toward the village committee, and many more villagers gathered to watch the spectacle.

The news spread like wildfire, and soon it reached everyone: the village chief Zhao Guangming and his family had been arrested.

When we arrived at the village committee, almost the entire village came out.

Jiang Sen had just realized that he seemed to have overlooked something.

After arriving at the village committee, Sun Wenge also rushed over, and Luo Yong then told him what had happened.

Jiang Sencai was suddenly startled; he realized he had overlooked something.

That is, Zhao Erhu, the culprit who kidnapped Shao Jiajia, has disappeared!

He immediately told Wang Haiyang, who also searched through the crowd and found that she was indeed gone.

"Xiao Jiang! Xiao Wang!" Hu Zhiqing called to them, "If you're not busy, follow Captain Luo to escort the prisoners to the headquarters!"

"Understood!" Jiang Sen replied, pulling Hu Zhiqing closer and whispering, "Zhao Erhu is missing."

Hu Zhiqing was also taken aback and quickly went to tell Luo Yongcai.

Luo Yongcai nodded. "He can't escape! The entire department is notified to arrest the suspect Zhao Erhu! Anyone who sees him and reports him will be rewarded with fifty catties of grain, and anyone who catches him will be rewarded with one hundred catties!"

In this era, the power of the masses is the greatest.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Zhao Erhu's reputation was already bad, and now that Zhao Guangming has fallen, who will take him seriously?

Of course, they would never admit that it was for a hundred or so kilograms of grain.

Sun Wenge is now trembling with fear.

The Zhao and Sun families had been at odds before, but Zhao Guangming had two sons and only one daughter, who had married early.

Because of his inferior strength, he was always overshadowed by Zhao Guangming.

Now things are great, I can finally hold my head high.

He immediately summoned one of his nephews from the Sun family and appointed him as the militia captain.

Although the accountant also shares the surname Zhao, there is no one else in the village who can be an accountant. We can't let an educated youth take on the role, can we?

He couldn't possibly hand over this right to the educated youth.

Therefore, Sun Wenge did not touch the accountant for the time being.

The accountant, who was standing nearby, was anxious for a long time, but was relieved when Sun Wenge didn't mention him.

After the matter was over, the educated youth went back, and the villagers dispersed.

Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang went back to get their belongings and followed Luo Yongcai to the team headquarters. After having a meal, they took the team headquarters' tractor overnight, escorting Zhao Guangming and his family of three to the farm headquarters.

At the other end of the forest farm, Li Chaoyang led his men, following the tracks left by Xiao Ma and Lu Xiu, and chased after them for a long distance.

Upon reaching a cliff, I immediately spotted the rope hanging from a nearby tree.

“They went down from here!” Sui Zhongliang said.

Li Chaoyang's eyes flickered a few times, and he craned his neck to look down.

Fortunately, heavy snow fell, leaving no trace of their presence.

"Take a few men and go down the rope," Li Chaoyang ordered, then whispered a few words in Sui Zhongliang's ear.

Sui Zhongliang nodded, waved his hand and called over five people, "You come down with me."

Several men slung their guns behind their backs, tugged on the rope a few times to test its sturdiness, then braced themselves against the rocks and began to descend.

Li Chaoyang shouted, "Everyone else, follow me! Go around to the side!"

Everyone went to the left, because that way they could go around here and descend to the bottom of the cliff from the other side.

It's unclear how much time passed, but Sui Zhongliang and his men may have already reached the bottom of the cliff.

Suddenly the rope tightened again, and soon a person popped out—it was Xiao Ma.

He observed for a while, saw the tracks in the snow, smiled disdainfully, and climbed up.

He turned around, stared down, and after a while, reached out and pulled Lu Xiu up as well.

Lu Xiu was exhausted. She looked at her hands, which were rubbed raw and red, and blood was seeping out from the swollen areas.

"We can't rest!" said Little Horse. "Let's get going while they're down there!"

With his help, Lu Xiu struggled to stand up, and the two of them supported each other as they tried to descend the mountain.

But before they could take more than a few steps, a large number of people rushed out from both sides.

"Don't move!"

"Put your hands up!"

"Where do you think you're going!"

Lu Xiu's face was deathly pale, while Xiao Ma looked up with disdain.

"take away!"

Several men came up, tied the two men up, and gave them a hard shove. "Go!"

Watching the people being taken away, Li Chaoyang left two people behind and returned to the edge of the cliff to look down.

Soon, Sui Zhongliang and his men climbed back up.

“I knew they wouldn’t actually go down!” Sui Zhongliang said. “We still had to make this trip.”

Li Chaoyang laughed, "How else can we deceive them? Let's go, mission accomplished!"

After descending the mountain, Xiangzi had already removed the timer and put the explosives back into the sack.

"Commander!" Xiangzi waved to him when he saw him return. "With so much explosives, let alone the railway tracks, if it were placed at the farm headquarters, it could blow up the entire farm."

Li Chaoyang turned to look at Xiao Ma, whose expression had changed, and asked, "Your scheme has failed. What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

As soon as Xiao Ma came out of the mountain, he saw a few people by the railway tracks and knew that things were doomed to fail.

His head drooped, and he was pushed and shoved into the carriage.

On the carriage, he saw a man, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Oh it's you?"

Wei San smiled indifferently.

Lu Xiu knew it was all over, and slumped to one side, dejected.

She saw Wei San and felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

Not the awards ceremony, but something before that.

Where have I seen this before?

The horse-drawn carriage could only return to the forest farm along the railway tracks.

To get back to the headquarters, we need to switch to snow sleds there.

That road is not open to traffic yet.

When they finally returned to the headquarters after all that trouble, Luo Yongcai and Jiang Sen had been waiting for almost a week.

Li Chaoyang praised everyone in the canteen, specially asking Secretary Ma to bring several bottles of good wine, and also asked the chef to stew a pot of wild boar meat and make flatbread.

"I've already reported to the division headquarters. You've done a great service again!" Li Chaoyang said to Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang, then looked at Wei San, "Especially Comrade Wei San, who disregarded the danger and followed behind them the whole time, preventing them from destroying the railway tracks! Excellent! Excellent! Come on, let's have a drink!"

Wei San felt his back straighten up, picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

happy!

This feeling is like a mouse that has always been hiding in the shadows finally seeing the sun outside.

It turns out that there are things in this world that are even more exciting than stealing.

After the meal, Jiang Sen made a special trip to see him.

Without saying anything more, he simply said, "Isn't this good enough?"

Wei San couldn't speak; he didn't know how to start, let alone what to say.

Should I thank you?

Or shall we talk about something else?

In short, he had completely accepted Jiang Sen as a person.

He thought to himself, "Jiang Sen, you are my elder brother for life!"

Some people are just like that.

Forced by life to take a crooked path, you unexpectedly find someone who lends you a hand, and you realize, oh, there is another way!

After staying at the farm headquarters for two more days, and after Lu Xiu, Xiao Ma, and Zhao Guangming's family of three were all taken away by people from the farm headquarters, Jiang Sen and the others also had to go back.

Li Chaoyang called the person into his office and took out a document.

It was the official notice issued from above regarding the resumption of the college entrance examination at the end of this year, with the first examination scheduled for January.

"The farm headquarters will send a copy of this notice to each brigade. Luo Yongcai from the Fourth Brigade can't go back for the time being, so you take this back with you! Give it directly to the educated youth. Those who want to take the college entrance examination should prepare well!"

"That's great!" Jiang Sen said. "They must be overjoyed!"

After leaving the office, Jiang Sen took Wang Haiyang to the supply and marketing cooperative.

"What else do you want to buy?" Wang Haiyang asked.

"Buy more notebooks and pens, they definitely need them!"
