Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

The person who ran to the main road with the woman from the communications room was none other than Officer Zhao.

He looked back and forth, somewhat exasperated.

"The captain went to the farm headquarters. He always calls back after he goes there, but he hasn't called for a whole day and night. Something must have happened!"

The woman in the communications room also looked hostile, and her smile was nowhere to be seen from before.

"I felt something was off when those two lads called me in the middle of the night. Then I realized they had actually sent Morse code to the farm headquarters!"

"Are you sure?"

"I've been doing this for so many years, how could I mishear? It means 'discovered a spy'!"

"Damn it!" Officer Zhao cursed, then turned to the men behind him and said, "You guys come with me to the educated youth settlement to arrest them. Yuhua, you stay here and shut the educated youths up! You guys drive to the farm headquarters and chase after them. I don't believe they can escape!"

Zhao was followed by about ten people, divided into three teams.

A group followed him across the road toward the educated youth settlement.

A group of people followed the tractor that arrived later and headed towards the farm headquarters.

When they passed Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang, the two quickly lay down in the trench.

Another group of people followed a woman named Yuhua from the communications room back to the farm headquarters, searching for people while explaining and reassuring them.

"What do we do?" Wang Haiyang said. "One phone call and all these people have been exposed. The Fourth Brigade is a den of spies! Damn it, I'll have Uncle Li take a gun and mow them all down!"

Jiang Sen was also a little confused. What was going on?

I originally thought that only Wang Weimin was a spy, but it seems that everyone in the Fourth Brigade has something going on!

If we don't discover this and let them stay here, they're like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment!

No wonder the problems of the educated youth in the Fourth Brigade and Jiazigou Village have never been resolved.

It's not that it can't be solved, it's that there's no intention to solve it at all.

If they were all spies, they would definitely need a chaotic and difficult-to-manage place to cover their tracks.

"How many people will the farm manager and his team bring?" Jiang Sen asked.

Wang Haiyang said, "The Xiangzi I mentioned was Uncle Li's former bodyguard. He usually drove for him at the farm headquarters. He was also a sharpshooter, and we wouldn't let him show his face unless absolutely necessary. When I told him to bring Xiangzi, he knew we were definitely in trouble, and he would bring the rest... I don't know exactly how many. They were all his former soldiers."

Jiang Sen scratched his head, wondering what would happen if they couldn't handle the situation due to the small number of people.

No, we need to think of a solution!

He looked toward the village, but the trees along the road blocked his view, so he couldn't see very clearly. However, he could see lights shining through the gaps in the trees.

Thinking of the malnourished faces of the educated youth in the settlement, they knew they couldn't possibly defeat Officer Zhao and his men, who were armed with guns.

Another concern is that many educated youth might not dare to do it.

He just counted them; there were more than a dozen guns.

Among the men led by Officer Zhao, four were carrying guns.

He then looked toward Jiazigou Village, where it seemed that one or two houses had lights on.

Considering the complex situation here, Jiang Sen roughly came up with a plan.

"Let's go!" He got up and climbed out of the trench.

"where to?"

Wang Haiyang followed Jiang Sen, quickly ran across the road, jumped into the ditch on the other side, and ran forward along the fields of the village.

"No matter what I say later, just cooperate!"

"What are you going to do?" Wang Haiyang asked anxiously.

But Jiang Sen kept walking and refused to say anything more, so I could only resign myself to following him.

I ran to Jiazigou Village and followed my memory to find the home of the village chief, Zhao Guangming.

The lights were on in his house, and there was a shadowy figure behind the curtains, sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), doing something unknown.

"Whose house is this?" Wang Haiyang asked.

"Zhao Guangding's house!" Jiang Sen said, then called out, "Is the village chief home?"

The figure inside the curtains stirred, got up, and disappeared.

A moment later, the door opened, and Zhao Guangming appeared, wearing a coat. "Who is it?"

"Village chief! I'm Jiang Sen from the educated youth settlement, do you remember me?"

"Oh, it's you!" Zhao Guangming said casually. "What's up so late?"

"This is a very serious matter! Village Chief, can we go inside and talk about it?"

Zhao Guangming pondered what Jiang Sen meant by this momentous matter. After hesitating for a few seconds, he walked over and opened the courtyard gate, but he didn't intend to let them in.

"What's the matter? If it's not urgent, you can go to the village committee tomorrow."

He drooped his eyelids, took out a piece of paper, and asked to roll a cigarette.

Wang Haiyang quickly pulled out his cigarettes. "Village chief, have a smoke of this!"

Zhao Guangming glanced at it, took it, and Wang Haiyang took out a match and lit it for him.

"Say it!"

"Village chief, we discovered a spy while we were working today!"

"What did you say?" Zhao Guangming nearly dropped his cigarette, his eyes wide with shock. "Where? Who is it?"

Jiang Sen quickly exchanged a glance with Wang Haiyang.

He said, "Village chief, it's urgent. The people at the brigade headquarters have been misled by spies and have gone to the educated youth settlement to arrest people. We've come here hoping you can go and stop them."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guangming was no longer in a hurry. "They've gone to the educated youth settlement! Since the team headquarters has intervened and those educated youth are now managed separately from the village, it's not appropriate for us to get involved, is it?"

Wang Haiyang was getting anxious and wanted to speak, but Jiang Sen stopped him.

He smiled and said, "Village chief, don't you think this makes sense? Originally, the educated youth who settled here were considered residents of Jiazigou Village. If the village can take over and arrange their work, build houses, and so on, not only will the village be larger, but the corresponding policies from above will also be much more lenient. The educated youth's welfare rations will also be provided by the village. Regardless of any past conflicts, with the village standing up for them this time, it will be easier to manage them in the future, and the village chief's prestige will also be enhanced!"

Seeing that Zhao Guangming was wavering, Jiang Sen pressed on.

"And about this matter, to be honest, it was Wang Haiyang and I who discovered that spy. We've already reported it to the farm headquarters, and they're coming over with their men. When they arrive and see the village helping the educated youth, do you think Jiazigou Village's status will rise? They might even be recognized for their merits, and then they'll put up certificates and honors on the village committee wall. Who wouldn't praise you when they see them?"

These words finally persuaded Zhao Guangming.

In fact, even the most ignorant villagers wouldn't remain indifferent to the likes of spies; he was just pretending.

"You're not lying? There really are spies?"

Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang nodded quickly.

Jiang Sen raised one hand and said, "I swear to the greatest revolutionary pioneers that this is absolutely true, or else I will never have anything to eat again!"

Zhao Guangming asked, "Who is the spy? Can you tell me?"

This really needs to be mentioned, otherwise it will be even more interesting if a misunderstanding occurs later.

“It’s Feng Chao from the educated youth settlement!” Jiang Sen betrayed Feng Chao.

Who made him work for Lu Xiu?

He also got all smelly and almost vomited up his bile.

It wasn't that he didn't want to mention Lu Xiu, but rather that he lacked evidence and could only take down Feng Chao first, waiting for Li Chaoyang's decision.

"Alright! You wait here! Erhu! Get up quickly and go call your brother!" He shouted to his son and strode into the house.

Wang Haiyang asked in a low voice, "Will it work?"

Jiang Sen nodded. "It will take the farm manager and the others at least three or four hours to get here. During this time, we have no way to protect ourselves, so we can only muddy the waters and help Hu Zhiqing along the way."

As for whether he could help the educated youth there, Wang Haiyang was unsure, but he felt that what Jiang Sen had just said made a lot of sense.

Is Zhao Guangming stupid to leave so many people and laborers unused and miss the opportunity to expand the village?

There must be a reason, but judging from Jiang Sen's current attitude, he doesn't seem to care about any of that.

The most important thing is to get the current situation sorted out.

A short while later, Zhao Guangming and his two sons came out.

Zhao Erhu's gaze kept darting around at the two of us.

"Let's go! First, we'll go to the village committee. Da Hu, you go and call Lao Sun!"

Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang went to the village committee, while Zhao Erhu ran into the village to call the others.

Upon arriving at the village committee, Zhao Guangming said, "Wait a moment, we'll go over once everyone arrives!"
