Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 388: Unable to Sleep

"Then I'll go tomorrow." Chen Jinghan decided immediately. He was not afraid of the people in the team, but because of the failure experience he got from Xue Li, if some things have to be done, they should be done quickly! Procrastination...

Wu Aiqing said yes, then slowly lay down with a tired look on his face, "Chen Jinghan, do you have any way to deal with those old cases where there is no evidence?" Although he didn't mention it just now, he felt sympathetic when he thought of so many innocent souls who died with their eyes wide open above this brigade.

Chen Jinghan did not answer immediately. He was also thinking, if he reported the matter here to his father, could they solve it? He received the most advanced education, so he respected the country's laws very much, but it did not mean that he did not know that in some remote areas, because of the difficulty of popularizing the law and the ignorance of the people, it was not difficult to deal with someone privately.

As he thought about it, he thought of Xue Li and Lin Anna. Now thinking back, what was the difference between his way of dealing with it and standing directly against Xue Li? No wonder she wanted to break up with him. It was not wrong to say that she deserved it.

"Chen Jinghan? If it doesn't work, forget it." Seeing that he was silent, Wu Aiqing thought it was difficult to do.

Chen Jinghan came back to his senses and shook his head. "It's not because of this. I'll call home when I go out tomorrow, but I have to go to the city to make the call..." It's not safe to call the post office in the commune to talk about these things.

In the city, he could go to the armed forces department to borrow a phone from an acquaintance without having to worry about his words being overheard by others.

"Let's try it first. It's fine when we don't know, but now that we know, the families of those dead educated youth may still be waiting for news from them. I believe that most parents in this world love their children. They have the right to know where their children died. If possible, I hope they can take their children home." Wu Aiqing thought of his grandmother. Although his parents didn't love him, his grandmother was different. If he died unexpectedly one day, how painful it would be for his grandmother.

If you put yourself in their shoes, the culprits in the village deserve to be tortured to death!

Wu Aiqing couldn't imagine that those simple and honest farmers he had met in the past were actually bloody? And that seemingly loving couple was actually a combination of a beast and an amnesiac victim?

He shuddered suddenly and looked at the simple lamp on the table. The bright light barely allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief. "They all deserve to die."

If someone had not experienced it personally, who would have imagined that in this bright and clear world, there is such a hell on earth?

Chen Jinghan also had a heavy expression, but spoke lightly, "We should also thank Yi Chi. If it weren't for him, Jiang Yu wouldn't have suddenly disliked Zhuang Shouren and influenced the rest of us."

"It's strange, why would Jiang Yu stand on Yichi's side for no reason? He is a member of the five black categories and a descendant of a landlord. If it were any one of us, we would definitely choose to stay away from him at the first moment." Wu Aiqing felt a little more relaxed because of his words and was in the mood to chat with him about his friends' gossip.

"Then I don't know. Jiang Yu often goes out alone. We have no way of knowing what she encountered outside unless she tells us on her own initiative." Chen Jinghan shook his head and picked up the teacup again. The temperature slowly seeped into his internal organs through his palms, and his heart was also infected with the residual heat.

"Maybe it's fate. Jiang Yu is a poor child, and so is Yi Chi. It's just that because of his background, no one will sympathize with him. But now I think about it, as for the people in the construction team, were they really the landlords who were overthrown in accordance with the policy? Landlords were also fought in my hometown, but I remember that two families only had their property confiscated, and their status was classified as rich peasants. My grandmother said that they had sponsored anti-Japanese heroes or something, so they escaped anyway." Wu Aiqing now feels that the construction team has ulterior motives for everything they did, and they are all bad people. Can we still expect them to obey the country's command?

After listening to his statement, Chen Jinghan thought it was possible, "If that's the case, then Yi Chi..."

"Forget it, we are just guessing. Why don't you tell your family about it? No matter what the truth is, we have eaten so many good things in Yichi, so just consider it as paying for the meal." Wu Aiqing wanted to help, but he was just a country kid and didn't have the means.

"Okay, they are all matters related to the construction team anyway. If you want to investigate, just start from the beginning!" Chen Jinghan didn't feel that he had brought trouble to his father at all. He thought that his father had already sat in that position, and it was only natural for him to serve the people.

Old Man Chen was sitting on the bed reading a newspaper when he sneezed twice for no apparent reason. He groaned and held onto his waist, "Tsk! I'm really old. I almost sprained my waist from sneezing twice. Oh, no."

Mother Chen rolled her eyes and said, "You are just too lazy. I tell you, go out for a run with your orderly tomorrow. You have been motionless since you became a leader. It's strange that your waist can get better if you sit every day!"

The couple had a deep discussion on the issue of exercise.

Wu Aiqing and Chen Jinghan, having heard so many dirty things, did not sleep well that night. Even their dreams were similar. The villagers who looked like normal people on weekdays suddenly grew fangs when they were least prepared and approached them like hungry beasts.

The next morning, Chen Jinghan woke up to the noisy sound of the brigade radio because he had not slept well. He rubbed his head twice in annoyance and got up in a bad mood.

Wu Aiqing got up a little earlier than him. He also had trouble sleeping, so he put some millet and sesame seeds in his morning porridge, and finally added some rock sugar to make it sweet porridge. He also steamed a few big buns stuffed with wild vegetables and meat.

After washing up, Chen Jinghan packed up the things she needed to take with her today, and asked Wu Aiqing if she needed him to bring back some meat.

"If you're on your way, just go and have a look. If it's inconvenient, forget it. We still have some bacon at home." Wu Aiqing thought about what else was in stock and then answered him.

Chen Jinghan nodded, then changed into his going-out shoes. After finishing breakfast, he could go out directly.

Everyone else at the educated youth site had already gone out to work, leaving only He Chongwen and Wu Aiqing, who were on sick leave.

He Chongwen took a small stool and sat down in the sun, taking out a book to pass the time.

After dinner, Chen Jinghan came out carrying her bicycle, looked at him, and they nodded to each other.
