Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

Jiang Sen, who was enjoying his meal with his head down, looked up in shock after hearing Mao Jun's words.

"What did you say?"

"I'm telling you, that educated youth Lu, in the mountains, was he... you know...?" Mao Jun said hesitantly.

"Which one?" Wang Haiyang asked.

Jiang Sen understood immediately: Mao Jun meant that Lu Xiu had encountered bad people in the mountains and been raped.

Damn it, is this brat never going to stop?

He only saw the Japanese soldier. As for whether the two of them did anything, anyone with eyes could see that at the time.

He wasn't blind; he saw Lu Xiu getting dressed through the crack in the window—a sea of ​​white.

The fact that the man had already left suggests that they must have done something beforehand.

How old is she?

"When I was getting ready to go to work this morning, I overheard the female educated youth who lived with her secretly saying that after she came back, she kept crying and wouldn't say what was wrong. They were all making wild guesses. Oh dear, what if it's true?!"

This time, Wang Haiyang understood. "Why are you crying? She's perfectly fine. When we found her, she was hiding in the hunter's hut, and..."

Jiang Sen quickly gave him a wink, signaling him to stop talking.

You can't just tell anyone about that man.

"Hunter's Lodge?" Mao Jun's interest was piqued. "Tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"

Upon receiving Jiang Sen's signal, Wang Haiyang's explanation became vague: "When we got down there, we saw footprints, and following them, we found her hiding in the hunter's hut. We didn't see anyone else!"

"That's strange, what's there to cry about!" Mao Jun said, frowning. "Oh well, never mind, this female educated youth is such a hassle!"

After the meal, Mao Jun said he was going to help in the kitchen, and Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang went with him.

We started work late today, since none of us slept last night, so we finished work quite early.

Fortunately, it hasn't snowed these past few days. With the sun out, much of the snow has melted, and the temperature has risen a bit, so the potatoes can be dug up much faster.

The oxcart made several trips back and forth, carrying corn as well.

Before it got dark, Hu Zhiqing returned with his men.

Everyone else greeted Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang when they saw them.

Jiang Sen noticed that Sun Guohong and Shao Jiajia kept giving him meaningful glances, so he quietly got his food and sat down next to them.

Sun Guohong whispered, "What exactly happened last night? Where did you find her?"

“The hunter’s cabin is right below the canyon.” Jiang Sen looked at the educated youth around him, many of whom were looking at him curiously.

"She cried and wouldn't say anything no matter what we asked. She went to sleep when we went to work."

Good trick!

What can Johnson say?

She cries for others to see, but everyone else is at work, so naturally no one is watching. What else is she doing if she's not sleeping?

They don't even have to go to work yet.

"Hunter's Lodge? Nobody's here..."

“No! You can ask Wang Haiyang if you don’t believe me.” Jiang Sen beckoned Wang Haiyang over.

Sure enough, Wang Haiyang said the same thing.

Sun Guohong and Shao Jiajia looked at each other in bewilderment.

Shao Jiajia said, "Then why is she crying? Everyone is guessing that she was..." She blushed and didn't finish her sentence.

Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang were not surprised at all, as Mao Jun had already given them a heads-up that morning.

However, Sun Guohong's next words angered both of them.

"When they asked if it was the two of you, she cried even louder," Sun Guohong said angrily. "Pah! Shameless! She still has the nerve to cry?"

"Holy shit!" Jiang Sen jumped to his feet. "Captain!"

Hu Zhiqing came over. "What's up?"

"Everyone knows we rescued people, right?"

"Of course!" Hu Zhiqing laughed. "Because of your courageous actions, I was even planning to report it to the team!"

"Goodbye!" Wang Haiyang scoffed. "We're just trying to help people, but we're afraid some people will think we're the ones who caused it."

"How could this happen? No way, who would think that? So many of us saw it! You went down into that deep canyon and successfully rescued the person. That's an indisputable fact!"

Ho Chi Thanh's tone was very serious, and the people around him looked over, more curious than anything else, all wanting to know what had happened last night.

Jiang Sen didn't lower his voice, making sure everyone around could hear him. "Yesterday morning, Wang Haiyang and I were going into the mountains when Lu Zhiqing came after us, saying that since she also knew about wild vegetables, we should let her come with us. But going into the mountains is dangerous, so we didn't agree and she came back! When we got back, we found out she hadn't returned, so we went into the mountains with everyone to look for her. But now, some people are saying that Wang Haiyang and I did something shameful, so let's clarify this face to face! Anyone who has doubts can bring it up, but don't gossip behind my back. Although I, Jiang Sen, am honest, I'm not someone who can be easily bullied."

Wang Haiyang also stood up and said lazily, "There are plenty of women like her in Kyoto. Anyone better than her who wants to get into my bed is just dreaming. Dare to slander me? Then let's see what happens when you frame a military family member!"

Both men spoke tough words, especially Wang Haiyang. The moment he unleashed the aura of a privileged young man from a military compound, many people looked away.

They can't afford to offend this person.

Ho Chi Thanh quickly stopped the two, saying, "Don't be angry. The facts are clear. A clear conscience fears no accusation! Even if someone frames you, they won't get away with it."

He made his stance clear, which pleased Jiang Sen, showing that he was a sensible person.

Wang Haiyang glanced around at everyone present, snorted, sat down, and continued eating.

This matter was originally minor, but it has attracted so much controversy due to Lu Xiu's series of actions.

Jiang Sen felt he couldn't wait any longer and had to report what had happened in the canyon as soon as possible.

But who should I report this to?

The class monitor didn't even know which team he was assigned to.

The farm manager is indeed an option, but he's too far away.

He looked at Wang Haiyang, who said, "Here's what we'll do, Captain! We came here to help with the harvest, but this incident has made me very unhappy. I think we should report this to our superiors. If all else fails, we can be transferred to another team so we don't cause any more trouble here."

Hu Zhiqing was also at a loss.

He didn't want the two to leave, after all, they had only been there for two or three days and he had already fed them meat twice.

But if you forcefully stop him from leaving, it's not good to hold a grudge against him later.

He thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you go to the team first, say hello to the captain, and see what their opinion is? Whether you go to another team or stay, let the captain decide. What do you think?"

Jiang Sen nodded, "Then let's do it this way!"

Everyone now understands what really happened.

It was just a wild guess anyway, and since he didn't like Lu Xiu, he turned around and started whispering about Lu Xiu's faults again.

The next morning, without eating breakfast, the two told Hu Zhiqing and left the educated youth settlement.

However, the two of them went in circles and ended up back in the mountains.

The mushrooms we picked had been dried and put into flour sacks. We then walked around to the team headquarters from the other end.

Don't ask Jiang Sen how he knew the way; he just guessed.

After circling around from the other side of the mountain, you arrive at the road at the entrance of the village.

Zhao Erhu, Erluzi, and Heizi saw the two of them from afar. They wanted to leave, but felt embarrassed, so they didn't move.

Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang walked up to them and smiled at them.

"Want to have some fun?" Jiang Sen asked with a smile. "Want to come to the team headquarters together?"
