Counterattack in the chronology

Gu Lichun really went up to listen. When they first approached, there was a little movement, but when they really approached, there was no sound again.

Holding a flashlight, Wu Pang walked around the stack of wheat straw, but found no holes.

He didn't believe that he heard it wrong, so he raised his foot and kicked it hard, causing the stack of straw to shake slightly.

At this moment, there were a few humming sounds from inside, like the sound of someone covering their mouth, and it could be vaguely heard to be a female voice.

Wu Fat frowned and said: "I heard a male voice just now, and there will be another female voice, probably doing something bad. Forget it, let's go." Although Wu Fatty is stupid, he is not stupid to the end, such an adult , naturally know what's going on.

Wu Fat murmured: "These people are mentally ill. They do bad things in the cold weather. They are not afraid of freezing."

Gu Lichun has a different opinion. In this situation, it is indeed possible that the young couple or the wild mandarin ducks are having an affair.But the woman's voice just now was obviously wrong. If the two were having an affair, according to common sense, she shouldn't make a sound when she knew someone was approaching; second, her voice was also very strange, as if it was blocked by something. The sound came out indistinct.

Based on such an analysis, there may be a criminal case hidden here.

Gu Lichun would rather make a wrong guess and make an own goal than let the victim lose the chance of being rescued because of carelessness.

Gu Lichun looked at the stack of wheat straw, and said to Wu Fat: "The hole in this stack is dug from the top, you can get me up, and I will go and have a look."

Wu Fat thought that Gu Lichun wanted to watch the fun, but he didn't object, "Okay, I'll help you up."

The straw stack is only as high as a person, so it is not difficult to climb up.With the help of Wu Pang, Gu Lichun quickly climbed up the stack of wheat straw. Sure enough, a big hole was dug in the middle. Before he had time to turn on the flashlight to check, suddenly, the stack of wheat straw shook violently, and a large piece of straw fell down. Come on, a black shadow sprang out from inside and ran away.

Gu Lichun hastily shouted to Wu Fat below: "Catch him up and catch him!"

Wu Fatty chased after him, and the black shadow ran even faster.Gu Lichun turned on the flashlight and looked in the middle, and saw a girl lying on her back on the ground, her whole body was tied up, and a rag was stuffed in her mouth.

Seeing someone coming, the girl kept struggling and made a whining sound.

Gu Lichun jumped down, first untied her with a flashlight, and then tore off the rag from her mouth. When they met each other, they froze at the same time.

"Chen Jie?"

"Gu, Comrade Gu."

This person is Chen Jie, a female educated youth from the educated youth spot, and Jiang Mu's wife in the original book.They met once.

When Chen Jie saw an acquaintance, she couldn't hold it back any longer, tears streaming down her face, and said incoherently, "Thank you, thank you, I... am about to die of fright."

Gu Lichun comforted Chen Jie in a gentle voice, Chen Jie choked for a while, and then slowly calmed down, Gu Lichun asked her if she knew who the person was just now.

Chen Jie lowered her head, with a look of shame and indignation, "I went to another commune to see my classmates. I came back late and it was dark. He, he rushed up from behind and covered my mouth... I didn't see clearly."

Gu Lichun desperately recalled the plot, and there was a mention in the original book, what was the name of that scumbag?He couldn't think of it for a while.

Gu Lichun said: "It's okay if you can't remember it for the time being, you can tidy up your clothes first, and I'll take you back."

Chen Jie nodded, turned her back to sort out her clothes, because she was wearing thick clothes in winter, only the outer blouse was torn on Chen Jie's body, the cotton jacket and trousers were fine, and it was not too noticeable when she went back.

Gu Lichun recalled what happened to Chen Jie in the original book. Although she was later found by the educated youths in the educated youth spot and did not lose her innocence, her reputation was ruined and rumors spread widely.The villagers of Gujia Village pointed at her, and even said that her misbehavior attracted the attention of gangsters.

The educated youth in the educated youth group also sneered at her, which made Chen Jie, who was already inferior and timid, even more unable to hold her head up.Only Jiang Mu didn't dislike her, and often encouraged her to help her.After that, Chen Jie gradually became dependent on Jiang Mu.

Gu Lichun didn't want Chen Jie to repeat this tragedy, so he told her: "You'd better keep this matter a secret, and don't tell anyone, not even your cousin Zhang Yan. When you go back, just say that you came back late from your classmates." It’s dark, the road is slippery, I accidentally fell, my clothes were hung on the bushes and broke, and you also sprained your feet.”

Chen Jie understood what Gu Lichun meant, and her heart was full of gratitude.

The two were talking, and Wu Pang came back panting. As soon as he came back, he cursed: "That rascal, don't look thin, runs as fast as a rabbit. I'm not familiar with the neighborhood, so I circled around a few times. , I can't find anyone."

Gu Lichun silently remembered the "thin" characteristic of the gangster, and said to Wu Fat: "It's okay, we will settle this account later. Let's send Comrade Chen home first."

Wu Pang seemed to have just noticed Chen Jie. He wanted to ask Gu Lichun if he stopped fishing, but he thought it was inappropriate to ask at this time, so he held back.

Gu Lichun helped Chen Jie up, and the two escorted him to the village.They didn't go far when they saw more than a dozen flashlights shining from the entrance of the village. He guessed that the educated youth from the educated youth spot found that Chen Jie hadn't gone back after dark, so they came out to look for someone.

He asked Fatty Wu to hide the bucket and fishing net in the bushes on the side of the road, and the two of them sent Chen Jie back.

The two teams met halfway, and these people were indeed the educated youths from the educated youth spot who came out to find someone. The leaders were Jiang Mu and Gu Jingzhe, and Zhang Yan was also in the middle.

Jiang Mu and Gu Jingzhe were surprised when they saw Gu Lichun. Zhang Yan saw Chen Jie and hurried over to ask her what was wrong.

Chen Jie said according to Lichun's instructions: "I came back late to see my classmates. It was dark and the road was slippery. I fell and sprained my foot. I happened to meet Comrade Gu and his friends on the road, and they sent me back."

Zhang Yan didn't doubt that he was there, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "I saw that you didn't come back after dark, so I was so anxious that I asked someone to come find you."

The two were talking, when Gu Jingzhe stepped forward, looked at Chen Jie with scrutiny, seemingly unintentionally said: "Comrade Chen, your clothes are torn."

Chen Jie was ashamed and indignant, lowered her head, and whispered, "Well, it was broken by a bush."

Jiang Mu also went on to say: "It's just broken clothes, why are you still crying?" It was dark at first, although some people had flashlights on, but everyone didn't look carefully, and no one noticed Chen Jie's strangeness.Now, as soon as the two reminded, someone unconsciously shone a flashlight on Chen Jie's face.

Zhang Yan stood in front of Chen Jie and asked angrily, "What are you doing? My cousin is coming back a little later? You still want to hold three joint trials."

Gu Lichun also went on to say: "We met Comrade Chen Jie outside the village. I can testify to her that she didn't cry, but it was cold, and when the cold wind blew, tears and nose flowed easily. Don't you have this kind of experience? "

Wu Pang said impatiently: "That's right, you found her, and she didn't have any accidents, isn't it a good thing? Why does it seem that someone is expecting her to have an accident?"

Wu Fat's words hit the nail on the head, and directly exposed the hypocrisy of Gu Jingzhe and Jiang Mu.

Gu Jingzhe hastily argued: "Of course I wouldn't expect Comrade Chen to have an accident, otherwise I wouldn't follow everyone out to find someone. I just think some details are suspicious."

After speaking, he took a meaningful look at Gu Lichun and Wu Pang.

Chen Jie blushed and asked: "Gu Jingzhe, what do you mean by that? You don't suspect Comrade Gu, do you? You are simply ridiculous, it's him—" Chen Jie almost blurted out that he saved me.

Gu Lichun glanced over, Chen Jie immediately understood, and said halfway: "It was Comrade Gu who sent me back. Don't wrong him."

Zhang Yan also said: "That's right, you two are really interesting, you won't even believe the words of the person involved."

While they were talking, Bai Hua arrived with another group of people.Seeing that Chen Jie was safe and sound, he was also greatly relieved.

Gu Lichun said: "Since all of you are here, go back quickly. Comrade Chen is cold and needs to go back to rest."

Zhang Yan supported Chen Jie to come over again to thank them, Gu Lichun nodded to the two of them: "It's just a little effort, you don't have to be polite. Comrade Chen has a sprained foot, please take care of her."

Zhang Yan nodded: "Okay."

Gu Jingzhe and Jiang Mu were also about to leave, and before leaving, they gave Gu Lichun a deep look.

When the big guy left, Wu Fat asked, "Shall we still go fishing?"

Gu Lichun nodded: "Let's go, catch a few more. —By the way, Wu Fat, today's matter is kept secret, and no one can say anything about it."

Wu Fat rolled his eyes, "My mouth is for eating." He is not Zhao Gao and the others, he likes to gossip.

The two came to the place mentioned by Fatty Wu with flashlights. They lowered the net, pulled the net, and picked up fish, all in one go.There are both fish in the river and farms here. When he sees a bucket full of jumping fish, Wu Pang's mood is no longer depressed.

When the bucket was almost full, Gu Lichun stopped casting the net, and the two went home quietly.

Lixia and Lidong hadn't slept yet, and when they saw a bucket full of fish, they almost cried out in excitement.This year is really a fat year.

The next day, Tian Sanhong was naturally surprised when she saw such a fish, and then she started to get busy.

Gu Lichun reminded his adoptive mother to give a new year gift to his grandmother's house. It was the most appropriate thing for Gu Dajiang to go, but this person was wandering outside all day and couldn't get home, and Tian Sanhong was not very relieved of him. With so many things, he shouldn't touch them. A crooked mind.

Gu Lichun said: "How about I go with Lixia?"

Tian Sanhong nodded: "Alright, just the two of you, ride Wu Pang's bicycle, and I will pack things for you."

Gu Lichun also has some memories about his grandmother's house in his mind, but he doesn't go there often, and his memory is also weak.I just know that this grandma treats me pretty well, no different from her own grandson.He has an uncle with handicapped legs and hands, an aunt who is also nice, and cousins ​​and so on.Everything else is gone.

Before the two left, Chen Jie and Zhang Yan came to his house with their belongings.

Tian Sanhong didn't have any contact with these educated youths, and was completely surprised to see the two girls coming to the door together.Chen Jie quickly explained the reason, saying that last night, she fell on the way back to the village, Gu Lichun and Wu Fatty brought her back, and she came here to thank him specially today.

Tian Sanhong hurriedly said: "It's a matter of convenience, don't be so polite."

Chen Jie said: "No, no, Comrade Gu helped me a lot." Tian Sanhong was puzzled, and said to herself, it was just a little help, as for that.But it may also be because the children from other cities are polite.

Chen Jie and Zhang Yan had nothing in common with Tian Sanhong, and it was inconvenient to talk to Gu Lichun, so they chatted with Xiaoman and Xiaoyu.

Xiaoman and Xiaoyu have long been curious about these female educated youths from big places, but they haven't had a chance to talk to each other before, and it's hard for them to get close.Now that people take the initiative to talk to her, she is naturally happy.

The two were very curious and asked questions one after another.

"Sister, is the school in your city big? Are the buildings tall?"

"What kind of books do you people in the city read? I heard from my brother that there is a Xinhua Bookstore in your city. Are there any big ones in the county?"

Zhang Yan and Chen Jie patiently answered our questions one by one.Both of them liked Xiaoman very much, he was smart, quick-witted and eager to learn, with big eyes sparkling and sparkling with aura.

While Zhang Yan was talking to Xiaoman, Gu Lichun gestured to Chen Jie with his eyes, "Comrade Chen, I read a book recently, and there are some passages that I don't understand, please help me to read."

Chen Jie was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Gu Lichun had something to say to him, so she agreed, "Hey, I'll go and have a look."

Chen Jie entered Gu Lichun's room. In order to avoid suspicion, Gu Lichun deliberately opened the door, took out a book and pretended to ask questions.

Chen Jie first said, "Comrade Gu, actually I came to your house to thank you for saving me and to tell you something."

Gu Lichun nodded and motioned for her to say.

Chen Jie said with some embarrassment: "This morning, Jiang Mu and Gu Jingzhe talked to me separately, and they kept inquiring about what happened last night. If you encounter hooligans who bully me, you must point it out bravely. No matter who it is, they will Help me. I, I thought they knew the truth at first, but then I found out that it wasn’t true at all. They pointed at you both inside and outside... I was very angry and asked them why they thought so. I was afraid they would talk nonsense, so I came to find you You, ask for your opinion."

Gu Lichun sneered in his heart. He pulled Gu Dahai off his horse and offended Jiang Mu at the same time. The two of them were like two flies, always trying to find the gap in his egg. This time, they finally found a suspected gap. , how could it be possible to let go?

Gu Lichun looked at Chen Jie with calm and open eyes: "Then what do you think should be done?"

Chen Jie bit her lip, and said: "It is absolutely impossible for me to frame you, wouldn't that be revenge? I think, as long as my client insists that there is no such thing, they won't be able to accuse you indiscriminately, right?" Although She thought so, but she still felt uneasy.

Gu Lichun said: "It's really possible for them to do it."

Chen Jie panicked: "Then what should I do?" At this point, she was silent for a moment, and finally made up her mind: "If it doesn't work, I will announce the truth of the matter. The gangster is someone else, and you are my benefactor. .”

Gu Lichun stopped her: "Don't, even if nothing happens, your reputation will be ruined. Your life will be more difficult in the future. Don't worry, I have my own way."

Gu Lichun thought about it, the sooner this matter is resolved, the more secure it will be.He asked Chen Jie: "Are the educated youths in your school all afternoon?"

Chen Jie said: "Except for a few who went back to visit relatives, most of them are here."

Gu Lichun said: "You guys go back later. After lunch, I'll go to the educated youth order. By the way, you ask Bai Hua to call Gu Jingzhe too. I have something to clarify in front of everyone." Chen Jie Nod in agreement.

Chen Jie returned to the main room, said a few words to Xiaoman and Tian Sanhong, and then offered to leave. Tian Sanhong politely kept the meal, but the two politely refused.Tian Sanhong looked at the canned food and malted milk that Chen Jie brought, with a face of embarrassment, this gift was a bit heavy, she asked Chen Jie to take it back, but Chen Jie insisted on refusing, the two pushed back and forth, Gu Lichun couldn't see it He said: "Mother, this is Comrade Chen's wish, please accept it. You pack some food for the two of them to taste."

Only then did Tian Sanhong come to her senses, and quickly packed up a bag of things and forced it to Chen Jie. Chen Jie saw that she received more gifts in return than she gave out, and she was a little dumbfounded.However, it would be unsightly to push it any further, so she accepted it.

Xiaoman had a good chat with the two knowledgeable sisters, and sent them out of the yard with reluctance. When parting, he asked specially: "Sister Zhang, sister Chen, can I go to the educated youth spot to play with you in the future?"

The two laughed and said, "Of course, you can come when you are free."

After leaving Gu's house, Zhang Yan endured more and more, and finally couldn't hold back and asked: "Sister, why do I feel that you and Xiao Gu are secretive? Are you two hiding something from me?"

Chen Jie quickly shook her head and said no.

Zhang Yan didn't believe it, she stared at Chen Jie for a while, and asked coldly, "Are you two dating?"

Chen Jie was taken aback: "How can you think so? I'm already twenty, and Xiao Gu is only old." After Zhang Yan calculated, the age gap between the two was a bit big.

Chen Jie pondered for a moment, then said: "Since I was a child when Gu helped you in the car, I think he is a good person. This time he helped me again, and I appreciate him even more. This kind of appreciation is not mixed with other emotions."

Zhang Yan said: "Okay, I believe you."

Chen Jie sighed in her heart. It wasn't that she wanted to keep her cousin Zhang Yan a secret, but that she was afraid that she would be straightforward and couldn't hide things in her heart. trouble.

When the two returned to the educated youth spot, Chen Jie took out some of the food Tian Sanhong gave her and distributed it to everyone. Tian Sanhong filled her with everything, melon seeds, peanuts, jelly beans, persimmons, and a bag Fried vegetarian meatballs wrapped in oil paper, etc.Everyone gathered around, kneading melon seeds and eating snacks, and someone squeezed a croquette to eat, and commented while eating: "Aunt Tian's craftsmanship is really good."

By the way, Chen Jie told about Gu Lichun coming to the educated youth spot in the afternoon.Everyone was a little surprised when they heard that he was coming.

Chen Jie lowered her head and said, "I'm here to clarify some misunderstandings."

As soon as Chen Jie finished speaking, the female educated youths began to discuss.

Among them, Zhu Xiaoqing and Zhang Yan reacted the most intensely. The two educated youths were the closest to Chen Jie. Zhu Xiaoqing shook two short braids like brushes, and said in a passionate tone: "I just helped you, and there are others." There is nothing wrong with being alone here? I think some people are just afraid that the world will not be chaotic."

Zhang Yan curled her lips: "Obviously, I have a personal grievance with Xiao Gu, and my cousin happened to bump into it."

Some of the other female educated youths defended Chen Jie, while others secretly speculated.In fact, that night, some of them also noticed that Chen Jie's condition was not right, their eyes were red, his voice was a little hoarse, and his clothes were torn, not like they were hung.But she said she was fine, and Gu Lichun and that fat man testified, so she should be fine.What's more, Chen Jie returned to normal the next day. If something really happened, she shouldn't be like this.

Zhu Xiaoqing said: "Since Xiao Gu is coming, we must treat him well."

Zhang Yan said: "I'll go and talk to Bai Hua and the others, and I'll tell Xiao Gu to go directly to the boys' dormitory in a while, and let's get some snacks to entertain the guests."

The two rushed over like a gust of wind.After receiving the order, Bai Hua naturally complied.He also cleaned the boys' dormitory, and asked Jiang Mu and Gu Jingzhe to be notified.

The two arrived soon, and the others also gathered in the main room of the boys' dormitory, waiting for Gu Lichun's arrival.

Gu Lichun came with Wu Pang.

Gu Lichun greeted everyone first, and stopped the polite greetings. With a serious face, he first came to a quotation from a great man: "Comrades, you came to the vast world of our countryside to strengthen your heart and accept the poor and lower-middle peasants. Re-education. In the past few years, you have performed well overall and are worthy of praise. But some comrades still haven’t been able to keep up with their thoughts. I smelled a little danger from what happened last night. minds are corrupted and polluted."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless for a while.

Gu Lichun said with a serious face: "I'm telling the truth, not alarmist talk. Last night, I met Comrade Chen Jie who fell down on the road, and I kindly helped her. The result is not gratitude, not praise, It’s your unwarranted suspicion. Excuse me, isn’t this kind of thinking dangerous? Should our proletarian revolutionary thinking be like this? The great leader taught us, ‘We are all from all over the world, and we have come together for a common revolutionary goal. ... All members of the revolutionary team must care for each other, love each other, and help each other...' The pure proletarian revolutionary friendship that I helped my comrades was distorted and speculated by people with intentions.

Have you ever thought about what impact this incident will have when it gets out?You will destroy me, Comrade Chen Jie, and yourself.Let me ask, if you educated youths have anything to do with you, who of us villagers would dare to help?Especially for you female educated youths, when someone helped you, you were interrogated inexplicably.What's this?This is persecution!The chairman said that women can hold up half the sky, but what is the difference between their practice and the practice of cutting off a woman's arm when she touches it in the feudal ethics period?This is the restoration of the decadent feudal ideology.Do you think it's dangerous? "

Everyone started discussing in low voices, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, especially the female educated youths.

Zhang Yan was the first to speak: "I agree with Comrade Gu's opinion. Some people deliberately distort the facts in order to achieve your ulterior motives."

Others also expressed their opinions: "Yes, some people have ulterior motives. According to what they say, gays and lesbians will not be able to talk and communicate normally in the future."

"Comrade Gu is right in what he said. If things go on like this, if we dare to help if we have something to do in the future, the gang will be blackmailed."

"Gu Lichun's character at this age has nothing to do with hooligans. How do some people think about it?"

……

A storm of accusations and discussions flooded towards Jiang Mu and Gu Jingzhe.

Jiang Mu suppressed his anger, and when he was about to explode, Gu Jingzhe stopped him with his eyes. He tried to use a calm voice and said: "Comrade Gu Lichun is really an eloquent person, I admire him. However, I have a doubt Ask Comrade Lichun face to face, you said that Chen Jie fell down last night, would an adult cry when he fell down? Why did he fall down? Her hair and body were still covered with wheat straw. Where did this come from? The reason why I am poor is not to frame anyone, but to find out the truth. Everyone knows that Comrade Chen Jie has always been timid, and I dare not speak up for fear of encountering something."

Chen Jie blushed with anger, and retorted loudly: "I chatted with my classmate leaning on the straw stack, isn't it normal to dip some wheat straw? Gu Jingzhe, what are you trying to say? You have to push us both to a dead end." Is it? Fortunately, I thought this person was good before."

Gu Lichun said meaningfully: "You can think of things so complicated, Comrade Gu Jingzhe, you are not simple. Sure enough, like a father, like a son."

Everyone has different expressions, yes, Gu Jingzhe has a father who is in a labor camp in the frontier.Although he tried his best to behave the same as before at the educated youth spot, some things were just different.

Gu Jingzhe was poked at the sore spot in public, his face changed drastically, and he said loudly: "Gu Lichun, don't forget, your surname is also Gu, and you are my cousin."

Gu Lichun spread his hands together: "I was adopted, I have no blood relationship with you."

Gu Jingzhe sneered: "Then your brother and sister are always related to me by blood?" I see how you deny it/

Gu Lichun smiled slightly and said: "It's not necessarily true. My mother's genetics cover it. It's not like you. Both parents' genetics are shared. You should reform it in the future."

Gu Jingzhe trembled with anger.

Gu Lichun felt that the words were almost finished, so he came to a conclusion: "I have finished my words, I believe that rumors stop at wise men. I believe that you who have seen the world and have brains will definitely see through some people's demagogues and provocations."

Everyone stepped forward to comfort Chen Jie and Gu Lichun. Afterwards, someone suggested that Gu Jingzhe and Jiang Mu apologize to Gu Lichun and Chen Jie.

As soon as the proposal came out, everyone responded one after another: "Yes, the two of you must apologize for this, otherwise, everyone can talk nonsense in the future."

Gu Jingzhe and Jiang Mu looked at each other, both of them were suppressing the raging anger in their hearts.

Apologize to the two in public?Where do they put their faces?

The author has something to say: I'm sorry everyone, I had a new year's shopping yesterday, and I went to a meeting again, and I was busier than usual.The update was not finished, I got up in the morning and finished it, and it was even later.

I wish you all a happy and bullish new year.
