Bursts of sirens and engines came from far and near, towards the cornfield, and the crowd of onlookers followed the sound to look at each other.

In a short time, two police cars and an ambulance whizzed into the cornfield, and then a large group of people, some in police uniforms and some in white coats, got out of the cars. These men dispersed the crowd and quickly pulled out a cordon to surround the scene.

Several medical staff wearing white coats opened the medical box, took out medical equipment, and quickly carried out rescue, but after checking the pupils, heart, and pulse, the medical staff shook their heads and confirmed that the victim had died. Then the forensic medical examination began at the scene, and the personnel of the criminal investigation department of the public security began to conduct on-site investigation, taking pictures, investigating, and collecting evidence.

After a comprehensive and detailed autopsy, a preliminary autopsy conclusion was reached: the victim was stabbed 27 times, all of which were wounded with sharp objects, and the knives were deep into the skull. and obtained evidence such as a bloody kitchen knife, hair, buttons, and footprints at the scene.

The public security organs quickly organized police forces to carry out a search and arrest operation.

At the request of the public security organs, the party branch of Shandi Village also quickly organized all the militia of the village to cooperate with the public security organs to set up posts and cards, and participated in the search and arrest operation.

The search team first carried out a search and arrest operation around the village and in the village, radiating along the route of Liu Manzhu's escape, and carried out intensive carpet searches in crop fields, groves, grass, and every house, upstairs and downstairs, and every corner of the village.

I searched for a whole day and a night, but I didn't find a single shadow. Then he began to expand his scope to the surrounding hillsides, dense jungles, neighboring villages, and the homes of friends and relatives where Liu Manzhu might be hiding, but there was still no trace. The secretary of the party branch of Shandi Village arranged for the militia in the village to lurk around Liu Manzhu's house day and night to squat and monitor.

Since Liu Manzhu was alarmed by the sound of Wang Shu in the crop field on the slope, he threw down his kitchen knife and got into the cornfield, and escaped with a puff of smoke.

After passing through several crop fields, he chose a dense corn field, burrowed into the deepest and most hidden dense corn seedlings, sat on the ridge, and then quickly pulled out a bottle of the potent pesticide "dimethoate" from his body.

This is a new one he bought not long ago, and he is going to use it for killing insects in his family's responsibility field, and he has been keeping it in his water tank for a long time, and he has not opened it yet, and he will hide it on his body when he goes out today.

So he quickly tore the cap of the bottle with his teeth, tilted his neck, poured all the bottles of pesticides into his stomach, and then threw the bottles and lay down on his back along the ditch on the ground. His clothes, face, and hair were splattered with blood, and the blood-red sky reflected on his body, face, and hair through the gaps in the dense corn stalks and leaves.

"This is the end of this life!" he thought, lying quietly in the ditch of the ground, as he waited for death to come. He had heard that when a person died, two imps in black soap clothes would come and drag him along. So, he lay quietly, waiting for the black-clothed imp to drag him. After waiting for a long time, no imp came, so he turned his head to look around, and there was no shadow of a ghost. I thought to myself, maybe it's not time yet, the little ghost is still walking on the road, wait patiently.......

Suddenly, the sirens of the police car sounded one after another, and after a while, the shouting, the noise, the miscellaneous footsteps, and the "salsa" of the crops became louder and closer, and he knew that this was coming to arrest him, but now he was not afraid of anything, he didn't care about anything, he just wanted to die quickly. But the shouting, the noise, and the noise of footsteps faded away.

After a while, he thought, "Hongxing may be dead now, her soul has already gone first, Hongxing, wait for me! I'll come!" He closed his eyes, hoping to die soon...... Stumbled......

"Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock" ...... It was the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in 1979, and the Wild Grass Commune held a Yangko performance competition in the 18 villages of the commune.

Liu Manzhu, middle-to-upper-middle, has an oval and plump face, a pair of large and delicate double eyelid eyes, black and bright, blazing, exuding affinity. He was kind, honest and hardworking, and after graduating from high school, he followed his father to work in the fields. Amiable and humble, benevolent and polite, and helpful, he is a person who values affection and righteousness. No matter who has something in the village and needs help, as long as they come out, they will always sacrifice themselves to help. Whether it is carrying water, chopping firewood, working in the fields, repairing houses, building houses, weddings and funerals, you can always see Liu Manzhu's shadow. When his grandmother saw that he was tired and sweaty, she felt sorry for him and told him to pay attention to his body. He always said, "Grandma, it's okay, strength is a minion, come back when you're done!"

Liu Manzhu loves to talk and sing, has a good voice, can play the huqin, and has a genius who improvises and sings smoothly, and comes casually when he meets people. Every year in the first month of the year, there is a Yangge in the village, and there is a traditional performance custom called "umbrella". It is the performer wearing a long robe, a top hat, a round flat-topped umbrella made of cloth in his left hand, and a "ring" in his right hand.

The "ring" is round and made of metal, and it contains several small iron balls, which are very loud when shaken casually. Just like the "ringing ring" held in the hands of Lang Zhong, who walked the streets and alleys in ancient times.

The umbrella man has to improvise and sing in front of the objects in front of him, what he sees and sings, and what he encounters, and the lyrics must be related to the scene in front of him. Behind him, he carried a large group of gong and drum teams and a long line of Yangge performance teams, walking through the streets and alleys to improvise. Any elderly, child, man, or woman can stop the way and let them sing. Some people even pull a pig over and ask him to sing about it, and some bring a donkey over and let him sing about it.

After blocking the way, the team immediately stood still, the gongs and drums were noisy, the firecrackers rang out, and the umbrella man began to quickly make up the lyrics in his heart according to the objects in front of him.

The umbrella man immediately began to improvise for the objects in front of him, singing words and sentences that rhyme, and the content was humorous and funny. As soon as he slipped out, people laughed happily.

This role in Shandi Village has been played by Liu Manzhu for many years. And Liu Manzhu's performance lived up to expectations, with a good voice, good lyrics, both charm and amusement, laughing so that people giggled, staggered, and tearful.

Croppers have been busy for a year, and when the coming year arrives in the first month, they can rest, have fun, and have fun. Everyone was happy, put on new clothes, and happily went to the street to twist Yangge, making a big scene.

At that time, the most lively thing in the village and the favorite thing to watch in the village was Liu Manzhu's "umbrella umbrella" performance.

Every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Wild Grass Commune organizes the whole commune and villages to perform in the commune. Each village should take out its own "unique skills" and go to the township to show off its skills. Compare whose village is better, and compare whose show is the most exciting.

It is compared with the outstanding talents of each village, and it is compared with the cultural heritage of each village. As a result, each village "lined up the troops" and "marched strongly" early, and even went to the city to invite professional performance masters to come to the village for careful training and counseling.

In the first month of 1977, the Wild Grass Commune decided to make a big Lantern Festival this year, so it issued a notice to all villages early on for the commune-wide Yangko performance competition. As soon as the villages received the notice, they were eager to try.

As the time approached day by day, the Yangge teams of each village worked harder and harder to win the honor of their village.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month has finally arrived.

The Yangge gong and drum teams from 18 villages of the Wild Grass Commune gathered in the wild grass, and the streets were full of emotions, gongs and drums were noisy, singing and dancing, and colorful flags were displayed. The sound of firecrackers and iron cannons was earth-shattering, and villages and teams of performance groups poured into the streets.

The performance team rubbed shoulders with each other, beginning to end. Each village has a conspicuous sign, for fear that the name of its own village will be robbed by other villages.

The competition began, first the gong and drum competition, to see whose drum pattern and whose voice was the loudest. The boys struck the gongs and drums with all their might, and when the drum was broken, they were replaced with one at once, and when the gongs were broken, they were replaced with one at once. Some villages carried a basket of gongs and a basket of drums to the competition.

Next is the dry boat rowing, lion rolling, and Yangge twisting competitions. Finally, there is the "umbrella umbrella" performance in each village.

Liu Manzhu's wonderful performance won thunderous applause and laughter. The umbrella performances in other villages are cold and cold, like morning stars. And his performance was surrounded by a sea of people, and the water was impassable. After walking a few steps, he was stopped and asked to improvise. After listening to it, people all laughed and praised it, forming one entertainment climax after another.

Liu Manzhu had been performing dozens of rounds on the street in a row, and suddenly, a large number of people were gathered in front of him, and he was going to be embarrassed by that posture.

When Liu Manzhu's team approached, three cannon shots rang out, and the flames soared into the sky, followed by the deafening sound of gongs and drums, and Liu Manzhu was surrounded by the gong and drum team of a village, which was called Huangling Village.

After a burst of laughter and pushing, a girl with a red silk scarf tied around her neck pulled another girl to stand in front of Liu Manzhu, blocking the way. The other girl turned around and hid behind the girl in the red scarf.

These two girls are the protagonists of the Yangge team in Huangling Village. This is a premeditated plan by their Huangling Village Gong and Drum Team to make it difficult for the village at the bottom of the mountain.

At this time, there were people from the gong and drum team of Huangling Village, as well as people from various villages who came to the weeds to watch the lively crowd, and thickly surrounded a large circle, surrounding Liu Manzhu in the center, and hundreds of pairs of eyes and ears were staring and listening to see how Liu Manzhu dealt with these two girls.

I saw Liu Manzhu think about it for a while, clear his throat, and then unhurriedly raised his right hand holding the ringing ring into the air, and drew three circles in the air with the "ring" in his hand.

People held their breath and listened to how Liu Manzhu sang this passage.

Liu Manzhu sang loudly and loudly:

"Girl, you are from Huangling Village,

A red silk scarf around his neck.

I have a whisper,

Listen carefully.

You look young,

I was confused when I stood in front of me,

I want to kiss you,

I'm afraid that someone will come from behind. ”

As soon as the singing fell, the pot was suddenly boiled, and applause, whistles, and coaxing sounded together. People laughed and danced. It's like a big stone thrown on the surface of a calm lake, splashing layers of ripples, and smiling lotus flowers.

Immediately, someone in the crowd coaxed and shouted, "Then kiss it!"

Some people chimed in and shouted, "Yes, kiss, kiss!"

So the people around pushed Liu Manzhu to the girl with the red silk scarf, and the person at the head of the red silk scarf girl pushed the red silk scarf girl to Liu Manzhu. The scene was chaotic and rolled into a "pot of porridge".

When the two approached, Liu Manzhu fixed his eyes and looked, wow! The girl with the red silk scarf is so beautiful! With fair and delicate skin, a pair of bright apricot eyes embedded in her round face, she smiled and opened her smile to reveal two rows of snow-white teeth like pearls and jade. There is also a mischievous little dimple hanging from the left side of the face.

It doesn't matter if you glance at it, Liu Manzhu's soul is lost. I thought that it would be worth it for me to have such a daughter-in-law die.

And the red silk scarf girl also saw Liu Manzhu clearly, the young man was very handsome, with a pair of bright big eyes, blazing, and his loud singing voice and outstanding acting talent were like a huge magnet, which attracted her deeply.

The two are in their prime, their love is beginning to open, they smile at each other, their faces are red and their hearts are beating. This is really unintentional by the chaotic, intentional by the toucher!
