Chapter 421 50 Little Girls (17)
With Wangyou's current status, checking someone's identity is just a matter of making a phone call.
The group quickly arrived at the military region where Liu Dazhu was stationed.
Liu Dazhu was quickly summoned by the political commissar of his unit. Upon seeing Wangyou, Liu Dazhu's eyes lit up, and he was about to say something.
Wangyou reached out and handed Liu Dazhu some medicine. "How did my grandfather die?"
“I didn’t mean to. I fell into the water and someone rescued me. I was afraid he would abandon me, so I clung to him tightly. But after a while, he suddenly got a leg cramp. I was afraid he would drag me down with him. Anyway, we were almost at the shore, so I kicked him. Who knew he would die?”
"Political Commissar Lin, I'm going to teach him a lesson, no objections, right?"
"No." Political Commissar Lin's face was grim. He had thought this soldier was promising, but it turned out he had been a bad guy since childhood.
Realizing what he had said, Liu Dazhu looked terrified. "I was young back then, so I didn't dare to pursue the matter, but I must avenge this."
"Liu Wangyou, what are you doing? This is the military. I'm telling you, don't do anything reckless."
"I originally wanted to kill you, but I suddenly felt that it would be better to be dead than alive. Actually, if you had made some achievements in the army, I would have given you a quick death. But a person like you is truly a bad seed since childhood. You frame your comrades, push them out to be scapegoats, and climb up by stepping on their corpses. Don't you have nightmares at night?"
"It's their good fortune that they can get promoted!" Under the influence of the drugs, Liu Dazhu spoke recklessly.
"Forget it, you should go to a military court so that those wronged souls can rest in peace." Wangyou withdrew her leg, which was about to kick him, and then very enthusiastically answered Political Commissar Lin's questions.
The main question was asked by Wang You. Liu Dazhu answered involuntarily, and after hearing it, Political Commissar Lin was so angry he was practically fuming.
"The military will never tolerate such scum!"
Liu Dazhu knew he was finished; what awaited him was trial in court.
“You did the right thing. People like that don’t deserve to get your hands dirty,” Hu Xiulan said, holding Wangyou’s hand.
"Mom is right, my hands should be clean. Grandpa used to say the same thing."
Wangyou didn't concern herself with what happened afterward. Instead, she led her people around the city and countryside for a long time. The drought seemed to have lasted quite a while, because some people were already eating tree bark.
I asked some locals, and they said they've been eating tree bark for a while now. In some rural areas, the tree bark has been completely stripped off, not to mention the grass roots.
No one knew how long the disaster would last, not even Wangyou. But she instinctively felt uneasy, remembering her space for the first time in a long time. It seemed that she couldn't grow anything there, but there was plenty of food. At least her family wouldn't go hungry.
"Mom, let's go back, I have things to do."
That same day, the group boarded a train back to Beijing.
On the way, Wangyou kept thinking about how to help them get through the disaster year safely without attracting attention.
Moreover, based on her observations along the way, this disaster is nationwide. It's manageable if it lasts for a year or two, but if it lasts for three to five years, how many people will die?
It's to the point where there aren't even sweet potato dumplings to eat.
Wangyou can't worry about too much, because she's all alone and can't do anything earth-shattering. Protecting her own family is good enough. If she has the extra capacity, she can help others, but that's all she can do.
Old farmers who have been farming for many years can probably tell what's going on, so many places are already drilling wells to get groundwater.
After Wangyou returned, she told her superiors what she had seen and heard along the way. The superiors had actually heard about it, but they did not expect it to be so serious.
That's all Wangyou can do. There's nothing else she can or shouldn't do. Besides, a little kindness is appreciated, but too much can breed resentment. She should just focus on taking care of her own family.
However, Wangyou also has a soft heart. Once, when she went to the pharmacy to buy medicine, she saw an old doctor who was so hungry that he was skin and bones. She still exchanged a lot of coarse grains for them, so that they wouldn't starve to death. Otherwise, where would she buy medicine if they starved to death?
You can see people shivering from hunger on the street all the time, and some of them collapse and never wake up again.
Wangyou was afraid that her own family members might be among them, so she often brought food home. She would also exchange some food with her close relatives in the neighborhood, but not too much, so as not to let anyone act as a middleman.
As if things weren't bad enough, at this very moment, the restless Indians also wanted to get a share of the pie in China.
Then, the soldiers unleashed all the pent-up anger they had been holding onto, turning India's so-called war of aggression into a battle to defend its capital in just a few months.
However, the impact of this disaster is still far-reaching. The statistics from various places are appalling. Some people even witnessed people being dragged away by people with green eyes as soon as they fell down.
These things didn't affect Wangyou much. She still had her own space, and she would occasionally take out the cooked food from there to treat her family. So, apart from being a little thinner, the family members were still in good health.
I have to lose weight, it's the environment that's forcing me to!
The disaster lasted for three years. After a rain, the dark cloud that had been hanging over the Dragon Kingdom finally dissipated.
The only thing that made Wangyou happy in these three years was that some of the drawings she had made could be seen one after another, but Wangyou never drew any more drawings.
However, his carefree days didn't last long. Wangyou discovered that the situation had changed. Not to mention anything else, the research institute had been visited by several groups of people, all of whom had ill intentions.
Immediately afterwards, Wangyou noticed that the atmosphere in the city had suddenly become very strange. The main signs were that there were far fewer fights and brawls, and far fewer people were strolling around the streets. There was a feeling that a storm was brewing.
Schools are gradually closing, and teaching, which is supposed to be a noble profession, is now something people avoid like the plague.
The research institute was also affected; several scientists who had returned from studying abroad were directly arrested and investigated.
What kind of mess is this? It's an utterly undeserved disaster!
Wangyou put down her medical book. The reality was that she couldn't even be a mascot. What was even more outrageous was that some people were clamoring for her to go to the countryside.
The reason was that some people saw her doing nothing all day and thought she was an unemployed bum. They thought she looked weak and had a soft temper, and she lived in a military compound, so she was used as a typical example.
Suddenly, those old ladies and aunties I'd never seen before appeared, saying that all their children had been sent to the countryside, and that since Wangyou had three children, one of them also had to go. In short, they were saying that if I wasn't having a good time, none of them would be either.
"Zhao Gang, come with me somewhere."
"Yes."
Wangyou asked Zhao Gang to drive her to the courtyard house she had bought before. The courtyard house had been renovated a long time ago, but Wangyou had never lived there.
