Liu Zhu wanted to say good things to a few villagers who blocked the intersection of the village and asked them to let him go, but the other party didn't have a tendon at all, of course, the main reason was the captain's promise of one dry bun per person per meal, and they were careful that if Liu Zhu was let go, then one dry bun per person per meal would be gone. At this time, eating is more important than anything else! Eating means being able to live! Liu Zhu thought that it was because of his 'rightist' status, and the above demanded that the village strictly control them.

In fact, with Liu Zhu's skills in learning martial arts for many years, these stout-looking villagers in front of him couldn't stop him at all. But he thought of Lawson and his wife and children who were still in the cave, and in the end he did nothing, turned around and walked towards the village. Although others were walking towards the village, they were thinking about how to avoid the people guarding the intersection in the village and quietly leave the village. Because he knew that the method that the villagers said about going to the captain to get permission to leave the village was definitely not suitable for him.

At this time, Liu Zhu did not know that this regulation in the brigade was not aimed at the 'rightists' who had been reformed in Hujiazhuang, but at all the villagers in Hujiazhuang. The main reason is that since 58 years in response to the call of the superiors, in order to build socialism in the province, the village cooperatives and the cooperatives of several nearby villages and townships have merged and turned into people's communes, and the people's commune canteen has been built.

In this way, all the villagers did not have to cook at home, but all went to the canteen of the people's commune to eat, and at the same time, in response to the efforts of their superiors, they could catch up with Britain and the United States in the output of major industrial products in fifteen years, or in a shorter time. The spatulas in the villagers' homes were collected in the village and moved to the earthen furnace built on the mountain behind the village, and all the villagers took turns to go up the mountain to practice the gang.

Because of the establishment of the people's commune, the distribution is naturally different from the previous cooperatives, almost all the grain harvested in the field is owned by the public, everyone eats in the commune canteen, and there is food to eat when they do more and less work, and this person will naturally start to be lazy. Plus any private land for self-cultivation. Those who raise livestock without permission will be arrested and criticized. 'Cut the tail of the capitalist'! This makes the villagers even more procrastinating when the captain is not there, and swinging a hoe to rest for a while. The phenomenon of the captain doing it hard when he comes.

As a result, grain production was reduced for five or nine years, and in addition, the leaders falsely reported the output of the fields in order to make money for the government, resulting in all the grain collected in the fields being requisitioned and purchased. There was very little left for the villagers, so the commune canteen was made from the original white flour and dry buns for each meal. It has become the current grass ball gruel, and the grass ball gruel is limited to each person.

The villagers did not have enough to eat, so they carried out ideological education and criticized for personal gain. There are always some complaints in private, after all, no matter how great the goal is, it will be recognized by most people on the premise of being well fed and clothed. Some time ago, the cadres of the brigade went to the county for a meeting. The county informed that during this time, higher-level leaders would come to the county to inspect the work, and at that time, some communes with excellent work performance would be selected to visit and inspect.

At the same time, the county demanded that the communes that were dragging their feet should look favorably on their respective villagers. Don't let the superior leaders meet you when you hear and see some things that affect the image and work performance of the county. At that time, Hujiazhuang was named as an example of the people's commune's bad behavior. At that time, in order to compete for morale, the secretary of the commune boasted at the meeting that Haikou would produce 12,000 catties of wheat per mu of land in the village next year. This is why the Hujiazhuang captain asked the villagers to produce 12,000 catties of wheat per mu at the brigade meeting, and at the same time, Liu Zhu wanted to go out of the village to Huaxian County, but he was stopped at the entrance of the village and asked to go to the brigade headquarters to find the captain for approval.

Although Liu Zhu attended a literacy class in the army, and later entered a cadre training class, after all, he was in the war years, but he only knew how to read and write, and could read and write some documents. He only learned some superficial tactics, and he can be said to know nothing about economics and finance. Therefore, Liu Zhu only felt that the cadres of Hujiazhuang's brigade did not do practical things at this time, and they talked big and deceived people. At most, I thought that the villagers of Hujiazhuang would be tired and hungry next year because of the empty slogan of "12,000 catties of wheat per mu of land", but I didn't expect how much impact it would have on the agricultural economy of the whole of China! How destructive!

Liu Zhu didn't expect it, but Lawson thought of it! You must know that although Rosen was branded as a 'rightist' and sent to Hujiazhuang, his roots in the top level of China are still there, and there are many people who support him who are still in very important positions, and the information he transmitted to Kyoto through special channels or the construction of YƬ still has a certain influence on the leadership of Huaxia. But Liu Zhu has the sensitivity of a soldier, when he solemnly handed the letter to him from Rosen, and at the same time, the repeated advice made him feel the importance of this letter, so Liu Zhu was thinking about how to get out of the village at this time, and not let Rosen and his wife and children who stayed in Hujiazhuang be affected.

Liu Zhu thought that there was more than one intersection out of Hujiazhuang, and with Rao's heart, Liu Zhu first detoured to several other intersections, but found that there were villagers guarding them. At the same time, he also found that not only he wanted to leave the village but was also stopped, but other villagers who wanted to go out of the village to go to relatives were also stopped, which made him have more doubts in his heart, but he didn't have the heart to investigate it at this time.

When he was helpless, Liu Zhu suddenly remembered that when he fled with Xiaoju's family, he had heard Xiaoju talk about the back mountain of Hujiazhuang, not only there were many wild things, but also through the back mountain You can also reach Hejiazhuang, and Hejiazhuang is only a day and a half away from Huaxian County.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhu's originally impatient heart calmed down suddenly, and immediately avoided people and quietly touched the back mountain of Hujiazhuang.

As soon as he entered the back mountain of Hujiazhuang, Liu Zhu knew that the danger of this back mountain was many times more than what Xiao Ju said back then, especially at night, Liu Zhu hid in the tree and didn't dare to come down at all, nor did he dare to sleep. And the further he went, the bigger the wild things became, if he hadn't practiced kung fu and ran fast, there was a good chance that he would have been buried in the mouths of those wild things in the old forests in the back mountains and became their food. I really don't know how Xiaoju survived in the mountains and forests at such a young age, with a strong man who was younger than her and a crazy girl!

When Liu Zhu passed through the back mountain of Hujiazhuang and appeared near Hejiazhuang dressed in a wolf, it had already been three days since he left Hujiazhuang. At this time, Rosen and He Xiaofeng were guessing anxiously at home because Liu Zhu did not return within the time limit.

What puzzled Liu Zhu was that there were also villagers guarding the intersection of Hejiazhuang and Zhuang with wooden sticks, and he had no choice but to wait for the dead of night to find another way. He didn't dare during the day, at this time an unfamiliar hole appeared in the village, and he would soon be arrested as a saboteur.

Fortunately, Liu Zhu overheard the small talk of two villagers and learned that the upper reaches of the river that passed from Hejiazhuang turned out to be Huaxian. That night, Liu Zhu wrapped the letter and cotton clothes and pants with a kind of impermeable leaves found in the mountains and forests, and regardless of the coldness of the river, he dived into the river from Hejiazhuang and swam in the direction of the upstream.

Even if Liu Zhu is a martial arts practitioner, he is usually in good health, but after all, the weather is cold and he is old, and when he swam to the river beach near Huaxian County, he almost went halfway. Fortunately, the place where he landed was not only uninhabited, but also a forest. Liu Zhu sneaked into the depths of the woods, tried to make a fire to dry the clothes he was wearing, put on cotton clothes and pants, and then found a way to bake a pheasant to fill the empty stomach that had been dealt with indiscriminately in the past few days, and the whole person felt alive.

When Liu Zhu entered Huaxian County and found He Kai at No. 64 Pozi Street, which Rosen said, it was already the sixth day since he left Hujiazhuang.

"Old man, it's getting dark, let's eat in the first room! The weather is so cold, you always stand outside to blow the wind, and your cough is even harder! When the pillar comes back, he'll talk about me again! He Xiaofeng came out of the kitchen for Lawson and two small fried cakes, and when he saw that Lawson was still standing on the small slope outside the house, looking at the village road leading to the outside of the village, he sighed and exclaimed.

"Xiaofeng, it's the sixth day, and the pillar hasn't come back yet!" Rosen coughed and turned around and walked towards the cave, in just a few days, his back was obviously bent, and the whole person looked like an ordinary rural old man, where was the slightest handsomeness and elegance back then?

"Old man, the pillar is clever! I'm sure he'll be fine! Although He Xiaofeng's heart was also worried, he didn't dare to say it, and at the same time, he said words of relief in his mouth.

"Oh, did you hear anything when you went to eat in the commune cafeteria tonight?" When Lawson returned to the cave and sat on the kang to warm up, he looked at He Xiaofeng with a hopeful face.

In the past few days when Liu Zhu was not there, He Xiaofeng had to take care of Lawson and the two children, and at the same time, he also had to avoid the suspicion of those who cared! After all, because Luo Sen was uncomfortable for so long, Liu Zhu and He Xiaofeng went to the commune canteen to eat with their two children, and suddenly Liu Zhu didn't go, which will definitely cause people to ask, so it's better not to go at all, and when the team asks, Liu Zhu will definitely come back, and the excuse will be easy to find.

But six days have passed, Liu Zhu has not returned, and He Xiaofeng is restless in his heart. Even Lawson lost his usual composure, and finally asked He Xiaofeng to take the two children to the commune canteen to eat in the evening, to see if he could hear some useful news.

"Old man, I heard a message! Now when you go out of the village, you have to go to the team headquarters to find the captain to approve the slips! He Xiaofeng frowned and said in a low voice.

"When?" Lawson's bent back straightened a lot.

"About seven or eight days ago!" He Xiaofeng hesitated a little.

"Then Liu Zhu also needs to go to the brigade headquarters to approve the slips when he leaves the village that day?!" Although Rosen's words were rhetorical to He Xiaofeng, his tone was affirmative.

"Yes! Old man, do you think Liu Zhu didn't leave Hujiazhuang at all, but was detained by the Hujiazhuang Brigade Headquarters somewhere? He Xiaofeng couldn't pretend to be calm in front of Rosen at this time.
