No.387 A hot potato
He's dead?
Obviously, people are still alive and well, and it's weird to say.
But from Long Yaowu's expression and words, it was not difficult for him to hear that the two of them knew each other.
In fact, when Tang Nianqiu saw Long Yaowu, Wang Mingyuan also noticed that after Tang Nianqiu was stunned, he lowered his head and walked over at a faster pace.
"You used to know each other?" Wang Mingyuan asked directly.
Long Yaowu nodded: "I've seen it a few times, although I haven't had much contact, but later I heard that she suddenly disappeared, and there are a few female intellectuals who disappeared one after another." Later, the bodies of several of them were found in the mountains, but she never appeared, and she was thought to be dead, but I didn't expect to see them again, which scared me. ”
After a pause, Long Yaowu asked, "How did she come to the farm?" ”
"I met her in Adu Commune, she was unkempt at the time, and asked me for directions, so I chatted briefly, and learned that she was a female intellectual, who was on a deserted farm in the frontier, and when she had no place to go, he brought her back and wanted to give her a place to live." Wang Mingyuan briefly mentioned a few words.
"I guess you know something about her, too?" Long Yaowu's expression was a little solemn.
"I know a little bit." There is no way to deny this kind of thing, since you dare to bring people to the farm, you must have something to understand, Wang Mingyuan replied truthfully.
"I suggest you leave her alone!" Long Yaowu nodded.
"Why?"
Wang Mingyuan's brows furrowed.
He wondered how much it was that could make the head of the armed forces department of the county town, who easily mobilized the militia, so cautious.
"The educated youths have suffered a lot when they are reclaiming the farm, and some people are taking the opportunity to do nonsense, and there are many female educated youths who are persecuted, these educated youths, some are from Haicheng, some are from Rongcheng, and some are from the capital, among which there is no shortage of people with backgrounds, and some of them are gone, and they have not been able to find out what is going on, and they have become hanging."
Long Yaowu took a deep breath: "There are some things that are too widely implicated and cannot be mixed up by you and me. ”
Wang Mingyuan nodded, what Long Yaowu said was similar to the information he had checked.
He is very aware of his situation and knows that many things are beyond his control.
He didn't want to care so much.
For Tang Nianqiu, Wang Mingyuan and her are just using each other.
Wang Mingyuan gave her a place to stay, in case of Zhou Jianjun or Kong Xiangming's troubles one day, and Tang Nianqiu also took the opportunity to wait for the arrival of the two here, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as having a common goal.
Now listening to Long Yaowu's words, Wang Mingyuan doesn't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for him to place Tang Nianqiu on the farm.
"Okay, now that my mission has been completed, I won't stay anymore and go straight back." After Long Yaowu finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Wang Mingyuan looked at the muntjac he was carrying: "Minister Long, no matter what, stay and eat before leaving!" ”
Long Yaowu waved his hand: "There will be opportunities in the future, huh...... You don't have to send it either. ”
Watching Long Yaowu walk away, Wang Mingyuan's brows furrowed more and more.
How rushed this is!
There are oddities in things.
Realizing this, Wang Mingyuan hurriedly carried the muntjac and handed it over to Zhang Shouzhong when he came to his hut, and he walked to Tang Nianqiu, who was busy packing up the herbs: "You come with me, I have something to ask." ”
Tang Nianqiu hesitated, put down the herbs in his hand, and followed Wang Mingyuan towards the woodland.
After avoiding the crowd far away, Wang Mingyuan stopped.
"Minister Long just now, do you know him?" Wang Mingyuan asked directly.
"Acquaintance!" Tang Nianqiu did not hide it: "He was the captain of the guard team on my farm at the beginning, and later participated in the border defense battle and was transferred away, and I have met him a few times, and I am not familiar with him." But there is one point, he and Zhou Jianjun and Kong Xiangming were once friends. ”
Wang Mingyuan knew about this matter.
When the farm was built, it was mainly he who contacted Zhou Jianjun and made things happen, and he had heard about it at that time, and they had known each other for a long time.
"Does he know about you and Kong Xiangming and Zhou Jianjun?" Wang Mingyuan thought for a while and asked.
"He wasn't there at that time, it shouldn't be clear, there were no sisters in a row, and there was a person from the capital, who had a very good background, and he came down to check after the accident, but in the end he didn't find anything!" Tang Nianqiu replied very quickly.
"Since you know, why didn't you stand up and explain the matter at that time, in this way, the two of them, is there still a way to live?" Wang Mingyuan's heart was full of doubts, and his eyes narrowed when he looked at Tang Nianqiu.
"For a long time, I was really mentally troubled and wandering around. I didn't find out about this until I woke up, and no one knew I was alive. ”
"Now, Long Yaowu knows."
"And what did he say?"
"Let me not get involved."
"Then it's fine, presumably, he doesn't want these old things to be turned over and resurfaced, although I don't know what the reason is, he shouldn't care."
"I hope so!"
Wang Mingyuan took a deep breath.
Now, he doesn't know what the future holds.
You can only take one step at a time.
No matter how you are, you can't take what you do, and you can't choose to run away from the sky.
When it comes to running, with his ability to teleport, there's nothing to worry about.
Over the next few days, the weather turned cloudy and the rain fell a little bit every day.
The mountains are slippery, and it is obviously very inappropriate to go into the mountains to collect medicine.
The farm was suddenly idle.
In the cave of the farm, a large number of medicinal herbs are piled up, only half of them have been processed, and they are easily damp, and those that have not had time to dry will soon heat up and deteriorate in such a humid and stuffy weather.
Wang Mingyuan had to organize people to enter the cave and build an oven to dry the medicinal herbs and ensure the dryness of the cave.
As for himself, he went out, hauled some refractory bricks and refractory mud in a truck, and fiddled with a stove by the thatched pavilion on the bank of the pool facing the hot spring in front of his wooden house.
He learned how to build this stove from the Internet.
After the stove is built, it can be used with two pots and pans at the same time. The iron plate covering the fire passage in the middle is removed and replaced with an iron net, which can be used for barbecue.
One stove for multiple purposes.
This is something he has wanted to do for a long time.
It took two whole days, and it was finished.
I tried it, and the effect was good, but the smoke was a little bigger, and it didn't burn thoroughly enough.
In fact, Wang Mingyuan fiddled with this stove, mainly to make a barbecue, the smoke was too big, for this reason, he found someone again, ran to the mountains next to the sinkhole, got an earthen stove, and burned a large furnace of charcoal on the green oka tree in the forest.
The trees are hard, and the charcoal that burns out is also excellent, and when they collide together, they make a crisp sound.
I was finally able to have a good barbecue.
After the weather was completely clear, Wang Mingyuan went to Chenjiagou and bought more than 20 local chickens from the Chenjiagou production team.
There are not many local chickens in several households in Zhangjiaao, and Zhang Shouzhong's family has a few, but it is used to lay eggs, which is the preparation that Zhang Shouzhong made earlier, just for the time when his daughter-in-law was confined, there was no shortage of eggs, and he was not easy to speak.
I went back to my vegetable field and got some melons, eggplants, and leeks, and then combined them with the beef and mutton in my own space and the green-headed mushrooms picked up in the mountains, and I was already able to enjoy them with these things.
Things were ready, and he was about to drive back to the sinkhole when a telegram came from the postman.
The telegram was sent by Su Ying, saying that Ma Cui, Yang Shufen and another male classmate had decided to go to Chenjiagou to set up a primary school, and asked to meet in Mangxian County and go to the Education Bureau to go through the entry procedures.
This is undoubtedly good news.
Wang Mingyuan thought of the large amount of herbs backlogged in the sinkhole, so he simply drove a truck to the sinkhole, preparing to send them to Mangxian County tomorrow.
He compared these drugs with the purchase price of Mingcheng, and the difference was not big, so there was no need to send them all the way to Mingcheng.
The road from Zhangjiaao to Tiankeng has already been repaired.
After repeated heavy rain and mud washing, although there are some potholes, there is no problem with driving, which shows the reality of Chen Youdong and others when they were building.
Let a group of people load the medicinal herbs on the list of herbs he listed, and lead a group of people to barbecue in the evening.
In the era of shortage of grain and oil, few dared to take rapeseed oil and constantly brush the various skewers worn on the stove with tree skewers, and everyone felt strange.
It's more about lamenting luxury.
They haven't eaten or seen it, so naturally Wang Mingyuan can only pull Han Xiaoling and Kang Langxiang as chefs, and go all out to turn over the meat skewers and vegetable skewers on the shelf.
When I ate such a skewer for the first time, I fell in love with the taste of various skewers at once, and many people immediately gathered around, thinking that even the movie on it was not good
The three of them are busy, and that's enough for so many mouths.
Fortunately, they had dinner, otherwise, Wang Mingyuan estimated that they would be able to eat all night.
After more than two hours of busy work, the three of them finally got their turn.
However, this time the chef was replaced by Zhang Shouzhong, who had been stealing from the side for a long time.
He had already begun to think about whether he could follow Wang Mingyuan's example and get the same stove in front of his wooden house.
In the evening, Wang Mingyuan went to find Zhang Shouzhong.
knocked on the door, Zhang Shouzhong, who had gone to bed early, came out with his clothes on, and when he saw that it was Wang Mingyuan, he immediately put his body aside.
Wang Mingyuan went straight in: "Third uncle, I have something to explain to you." ”
"What's the matter? The woman named Tang Nianqiu? Zhang Shouzhong closed the door and asked sharply in a low voice.
Wang Mingyuan nodded: "Yes, it's her, I may have to delay for two days when I go to Mangxian this time, and you have to keep an eye on her when I'm not there." ”
"I've noticed during this time that this woman's behavior is indeed strange. What's going on? Zhang Shouzhong asked, but after thinking about it, he said: "If it's inconvenient to say, don't say it, I will definitely handle the matter for you." ”
"There's nothing you can't say. The woman I met in Adu Commune, when she brought a pig-killing knife, was about to go to the clinic to kill Zhou Jianjun and Kong Xiangming, and asked me to confirm it, and later I asked to know that Kong Xiangming and Zhou Jianjun had done a lot of bad things on the rubber planting farm in the reclamation farm, and the disappearance of several female intellectuals may have something to do with them.
Tang Nianqiu was also poisoned by them, but he survived by luck.
You know, Zhou Jianjun and Kong Xiangming may be playing the idea of our farm, so I brought her and wanted to use her as a hole card against the two of them, but I can't be completely assured, so I have been paying attention to Tang Nianqiu.
According to her, she was crazy for a while, wandering around, and then gradually regained consciousness, of course, this was the day Long Yaowu came, I knew that Long Yaowu also knew her, and told me not to get involved in what happened back then, and asked Tang Nianqiu afterwards, and she told me.
Now that things have become complicated, this woman must still have something to hide, and Long Yaowu doesn't know if he will talk to Zhou Jianjun and Kong Xiangming about it, they used to be friends. ”
Wang Mingyuan told Zhang Shouzhong what had happened.
Zhang Shouzhong gradually frowned, and also felt that things were a little tricky: "I knew that I should have poisoned those two plague gods to death that day...... Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of it. ”
Wang Mingyuan nodded, walked out of Zhang Shouzhong's wooden house, and returned to his room.
Among all of them, the ones he trusts the most are Zhang Shouzhong and Liu Li.
Zhang Shouzhong is now mainly responsible for farm affairs, and Liu Li is in charge of border patrol tasks.
Regarding the affairs of Zhou Jianjun and Kong Xiangming, apart from Wang Mingyuan himself, Zhang Shouzhong is the clearest one.
Tang Nianqiu is now like a hot potato, it's not a loss, it's not a loss, when he goes out, he can only rely on Zhang Shouzhong to stare at it, so he can rest assured.
Next door, Han Xiaoling and Tang Nianqiu were still whispering, and occasionally a little laughter came.
During this time, Tang Nianqiu seemed to have completely integrated in, but the more this happened, the more uneasy Wang Mingyuan became.
The next morning, getting up early, Wang Mingyuan got egg noodles, called Han Xiaoling and Tang Nianqiu to eat, he led Han Xiaoling to the truck, pulled a cart of herbs, and went to the county seat of Mangxian County.
I left relatively early, and when I arrived at the county seat of Mangxian County, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon.
He did not rush to send the medicinal herbs to the purchase station, but drove to the gate of the Education Bureau first.
There, two Miao girls were with a tall, thin, sven-looking young man with black-rimmed glasses.
"I've kept you waiting!" Wang Mingyuan jumped out of the car, greeted Ma Cui and Yang Shufen, and then asked, "Who is this ......?"
"This is our classmate, and he is also from our side, but he is not Miao, he is Han, his name is Duan Zhengchun!" Ma Cui is as lively as ever: "It's also Yang Shufen's boyfriend." ”
Duan Zhengchun?
Hearing this name, Wang Mingyuan instantly thought of Duan Zhengchun, who was merciful everywhere, and after silently reciting the different tones of the last word twice in his heart, he smiled at Duan Zhengchun, stretched out his hand and said: "You are welcome to join, our remote places need you to be the light of knowledge." ”
Duan Zhengchun pushed the frame, stretched out his hand to shake Wang Mingyuan, and said: "I have heard Ma Cui say that I especially agree with her idea, the place is remote, and it is the easiest place to make results, so I followed the persuasion Yang Shufen to come together." ”
"Thank you, and thank you for the children who are eager to learn and open their horizons."
Then Wang Mingyuan briefly introduced Han Xiaoling to Duan Zhengchun.
"Sister Xiaoling, this year I was admitted to Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine with a high score!"
Ma Cui naughtily interjected beside him, which suddenly made Duan Zhengchun's eyes widen.
Many people in these years have a dream, that is, one day, they can go to the capital to see, and they are naturally very envious of Han Xiaoling, who can study in the capital.
After some small talk, Wang Mingyuan led the three of them directly into the Education Bureau and went through the entry procedures for the three of them.
This time, he directly found the staff who helped Han Xiaoling handle the college entrance examination last time, and handled the matter smoothly.
The three of them were so happy that they wanted to go to Chenjiagou to see the place where they were about to go to work, so Wang Mingyuan asked Han Xiaoling to accompany them and walk around the county town.
And Wang Mingyuan drove to the purchase point to process this car of medicinal materials.
