Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

Fu Chunsheng chuckled, "Let's go! What are you still thinking about?"

The two men used a sedan chair to drag several burlap sacks up the mountain.

Xiao Bai had climbed mountains before, but this was his first time climbing a mountain in the forest farm.

Curiosity overcame the fatigue of the journey.

He, who is usually not talkative, has become more talkative without realizing it.

Fu Chunsheng successfully lured Xiaobai up the mountain and helped him bring up the supplies he had obtained in exchange. Naturally, he answered whatever Xiaobai asked.

The two chatted and moved very quickly, setting off in the morning and arriving at the sixth squad's camp before dark.

The people sent by the farm headquarters are sitting at the doorway tending the fire.

Fu Chunsheng put down his things and asked, "The squad leader and the others haven't returned yet?"

The man said helplessly, "I've been waiting for two days now, and I don't know if something happened. If you didn't come back soon, I was going to go down the mountain and have the captain take some men to look for you. It's good that you're back, so I'll go back now."

"Hey! Don't go yet!" Fu Chunsheng quickly said, "It's an emergency. You take Xiaobai and stay here to play. I'll go find someone!"

Do you know where they are?

"They should be back soon. I'll go greet them after we finish eating!"

"It's so late..."

Fu Chunsheng glanced at the sky. "Alright, let's eat first! We'll talk about it tomorrow!"

More than half a month has passed since Jiang Sen left the hunter's cabin.

The old cripple stayed with Yingzi. The two would go hunting during the day and return here at night.

Yingzi seemed to have returned to the days when she lived with her grandfather.

Every day, she would run to the other side of the stream to see if Jiang Sen had returned.

Every two days, Sui Zhongliang would lead his men to patrol the mountain.

Bring them some things, and take some mountain produce back with you.

The reason they haven't returned for five or six days is because of an accident.

A new educated youth, lacking experience, was bitten on the neck by a pheasant in the woods.

After Yingzi and the old cripple helped him with the emergency treatment, they quickly went to find him medicine.

If we try to transport people out of the mountains, it will definitely be too late; we could just cross the road halfway there.

That's where we're stuck.

Early the next morning, Sui Zhongliang felt he had to go back, so he left two people to stay with the injured educated youth, told the old cripple, and prepared to take the others back first.

The old cripple saw him off, and once he was out of Yingzi's sight, he asked in a low voice, "Jiang Sen has been at the farm headquarters for so long, he should be going back soon. Will he run into trouble?"

Sui Zhongliang was also thinking about this matter and said, "This is hard to guess. After all, Yingzi is an Oroqen, so the higher-ups will definitely ask more questions. Don't worry, I'll go back now and ask at the team headquarters first, and if that doesn't work, I'll ask the farm headquarters."

The old cripple said, "I've seen and experienced everything in my life. These two are good kids. Please tell Chaoyang that you should help them if you can."

"rest assured!"

"Be careful on the road!"

After the two parted ways, Sui Zhongliang quickly returned to the camp.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Fu Chunsheng halfway there.

"Squad leader!" Fu Chunsheng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Sui Zhongliang and quickly told him what had happened at the farm headquarters.

"What did you say? Jiang Sen was reported?" Sui Zhongliang was shocked. "Don't panic, come back with me first, I'll find out what's going on."

He also said not to make Yingzi worry! He might need a few more days.

Sui Zhongliang said, "Go to the hunter's cabin and tell the old cripple what happened. He knows how to tell Yingzi. Don't say anything to the others."

"Don't worry, squad leader, I know what I'm doing!" Fu Chunsheng watched Sui Zhongliang leave, then called out again, "Xiao Bai's here too, playing around at the camp! Take him back later!"

The two went their separate ways, and Fu Chunsheng arrived at the hunter's cabin just before evening.

When Yingzi saw him, her eyes lit up. She ran over, glanced at him, and then looked behind him.

Disappointment gradually crept into his eyes as he asked, "Where is he?"

On his way here, Fu Chunsheng had already decided that once he arrived, he would secretly tell the old cripple a secret.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Yingzi as soon as he arrived.

“He…” Fu Chunsheng was speechless. “Well, he had something to do and couldn’t come.”

Yingzi looked at him, said nothing, and turned to leave.

"Oh no..." Fu Chunsheng had a bad feeling.

The old cripple came over. "Has something happened?"

Fu Chunsheng quickly pulled the person aside and explained what had happened.

After listening, the old cripple didn't say anything. Instead, he lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and then said, "This is going to be bad!"

"No, the class monitor said I should talk to you first, and then you can explain to Yingzi..."

The old cripple turned around and saw Yingzi standing behind them, carrying a basket on her back and holding a gun.

She heard everything.

Fu Chunsheng was sweating profusely. "Um, Yingzi, listen to me, it's not that Jiang Sen doesn't want to come back, it's that he really can't. He asked me to come back and give you a heads-up so you won't worry. Look at what you're doing!"

"Take me there!" Yingzi said coldly.

"No, listen to me..."

"take me!"

“Yingzi, it’s not that I don’t want to take you, it’s just that Jiang Sen said you shouldn’t rush…”

"Get out of my way!" Yingzi shoved the person aside and looked at the old cripple. "Old cripple, take me there!"

The old cripple said, "Girl, don't worry, he's fine."

"Nothing wrong? Why lock him up if nothing's wrong? Isn't that bullying?"

The old cripple was also very angry. Jiang Sen was a good kid who tried his best to help everyone improve their lives, but he was tricked by a villain.

He is also a man of strong emotions, someone who doesn't tolerate injustice.

But even if I went, I would only cause trouble and wouldn't be of any help.

At most, one could say that the person who reported Jiang Sen was a petty person, driven by jealousy or revenge.

But they had no evidence.

The only way is to find the person who wrote the whistleblower letter.

But he had already thought of everyone and there was no one suspicious.

That person is not in the forest farm.

who can that be?

"Old cripple!" Yingzi was getting impatient.

“Alright! I’ll go back with you,” the old cripple said. “However, we can’t abandon our injured comrade. Let’s check on him again. If he’s alright, we’ll go back together tomorrow.”

Yingzi then gave up.

The old cripple was also stalling for time, giving himself time to think of a solution.

The educated youth who was bitten on the neck by a pheasant had his entire thigh swollen like a water bucket, and his face was ashen.

The thighs were tightly bound with a strap, and the calves were tied with strips of cloth, which were a dark, herbal color.

But his spirits have improved a lot, and he can eat some rice porridge now.

The old cripple untied the strip of cloth, glanced at the wound, and then untied the strap around his thigh.

The educated youth breathed a sigh of relief, "Old cripple, I'm not going to die, am I?"

"Want to die? That's easy. Now you can't die. Get well soon."

"Hehe... Thank you..."

Yingzi brought in a bowl of medicine from outside, and the old cripple took it, saying, "Drink it!"

As the educated youth drank his medicine, the old cripple began treating his wounds.

The dark purple color on my thighs has faded a lot, which means that the toxins have been mostly eliminated. The swelling should go down in another two days.

"It's alright!" The old cripple reapplied the medicine to him. "It should start to heal tomorrow."

Yingzi asked, "Can we go back tomorrow?"

The old cripple hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go back with you first, and let them take him slowly."

"Okay!" Yingzi said, then turned and left.

The old cripple sighed.

The educated youth asked, "Has something happened?"

"It's okay!"

"I've dragged everyone down."

"Then get well soon! I'll have them make you some pheasant soup!"
