The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

This is how most marriage proposals are made in rural areas nowadays.

Xie Chengzhi nodded slightly.

Zhu Xiaomin was a little puzzled: "But the girl was determined to break off the engagement before, why didn't she mention it these past two days? If she really changed her mind, why did the Qian family kidnap Director Huang?"

Xie and Chen also felt that something was wrong, but when she mentioned it, they immediately nodded at the same time.

Yes, if the girl had already let go, why did they still tie up Huang Meihua?

The three of them looked at each other and suddenly said in unison: "Could something have happened to that girl's family?"

After saying this, the three of them stood up at the same time. Zhu Xiaomin's face darkened and she whispered, "We have to go to that girl's house as soon as possible."

Xie Chengzhi nodded, looked at the ranger's hut and asked, "What about here?"

Zhu Xiaomin looked towards the village and whispered, "It's been a while since we got off work. Sister Xiaojuan should call people back."

I waited patiently for a while, the dusk darkened a little, and finally, someone came here on the mountain road.

The three men remained squatting until the people got closer. Looking through the corn stalks, they saw about twenty of them. However, because it was dark, they could not see who they were.

Before the three of them could make a judgement, they heard Huang Xiaojuan's voice shouting, "Xiaomin..."

The three men felt relieved and immediately came out of the cornfield. When they got closer, they saw that the leader was none other than Xia Lao San, and among the people following behind him were several militiamen with guns. They all felt relieved.

Zhu Xiaomin asked: "Third Brother Xia, you are here, where is Chunhua?"

It turned out that Xia Laosan was asked to accompany Xia Chunhua.

Xia Laosan shook his head and said, "The secretary organized a study session for the members today, and there were many people in the brigade office." After saying that, he looked at the forest behind him and frowned and asked, "Are you saying that you suspect Director Huang is hiding in that forest?"

Chen Xudong said: "No one usually goes into this forest except for collecting firewood, and there are only big trees, so it's not a problem to hide a few people."

When Song Zhian and his crew were catching chickens and rabbits, they found it difficult to bring them back, so they hid them in this forest.

The person next to Xia Lao San frowned and said, "This forest is so big. Not to mention just a few of us, even if the whole team came, we wouldn't be able to search it all."

Chen Xudong said: "If they are Tibetans, they should be heading towards the cliff cave. Let's search there."

Xia Lao San nodded, "Yes, that's the easiest place to hide people." He said to Zhu Xiaomin, "We counted the people, and all the men from the Qian family were there. But the eldest daughter from Qian Zhuang's family left the village in the afternoon, and she might have gone to her grandmother's house."

The widow Qian Zhuang married Nie Yifei after asking her own brothers to arrange it. After the marriage, she was also controlled by her brothers from her natal family, making Nie Yifei obedient. Her two daughters also often went to their grandmother's house.

Huang Xiaojuan said, "Chunhua and I will go back to the village later to see if the girl has come back."

Xia Lao San nodded: "Let's go into the woods and look for it right away."

Zhu Xiaomin warned: "The terrain over there is complicated and it's dark now, so be careful. Don't go to places you can't go to until daybreak."

After exchanging information, Xia Laosan and his friends packed up their belongings and went into the woods with flashlights.

Zhu Xiaomin said to Huang Xiaojuan, "Let's go. We'll go back first." The four of them took advantage of the daylight and walked along the main road back to the brigade headquarters.

After meeting Xia Chunhua first, Zhu Xiaomin learned that no one from Bai Guihua's group had returned yet. She asked Huang Xiaojuan, "Where is the girl Qian Zhuzi mentioned? Is it too late for us to go see her?"

Huang Xiaojuan shook her head: "It's from the Fifth Brigade. It's too late today."

The most important thing is that the tractor entering the village late at night is too eye-catching.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded and said to Xia Chunhua, "We are here to help. You can go back now."

Huang Xiaojuan immediately said, "I'll go back with you to see if Qian Zhuang's daughter has come back, and bring you some food."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded and sent the two out.

More than half an hour later, Huang Xiaojuan came back: "Qian Zhuang's daughter has returned."

Xie Chengzhi asked: "How about asking Nie Yifei to come out and ask where Daya went?"

Zhu Xiaomin shook her head: "Nie Yifei is just afraid of me, but he won't listen to me. If I call him out, I'm afraid it will alert the enemy."

Huang Xiaojuan said: "Widow Qian Zhuang's parents' home is in the Second Brigade. I'll ask someone to help go over and ask." After saying that, she hurried out again.

After Zhu Xiaomin and the others had a simple meal, Huang Xiaojuan had also returned. Now all that could be done had been done, and they could only wait for news from all parties.

At this time, Gu Mancang came over and said to the others, "The study is about to end, how are you doing here?"

Several people looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.

Gu Mancang's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death. He scratched his head in annoyance and said, "Can't the people of the Qian family just be a little more at peace?"

Zhu Xiaomin was helpless: "There are rat shits everywhere."

Gu Mancang sighed again, sat down on the stool by the door, filled his cigarette with tobacco, and puffed. After thinking for a while, he said, "I have been thinking about Li Changzheng over and over again these days. His character is like his father, very honest. He blushes when others make a joke. He would never do such a thing. Qian Dashuan is not his child."

In terms of age, Gu Mancang is a few years older than Li Changzheng.

Zhu Xiaomin immediately asked: "Uncle Mancang, think about it again. When Qian Dashuan was just born, did you see him? Did he look like a premature baby?"

Gu Mancang said "Hey" and shook his head, "What does it look like a premature baby? The boys in the Qian family are all strong and sturdy, and Qian Dashuan is the same."

Then it is more likely that this is the child that Aunt Qian Er and Qian Er are having an affair with.

Chen Xudong was angry: "If she wanted to marry Qian Er, she could just break off the engagement with Li Changzheng. Why did she have to kill someone?"

Gu Mancang was surprised: "How do you know she wants to marry Qian Er?"

Zhu Xiaomin asked: "Isn't it?"

Gu Mancang looked at her, thought for a while and said, "Maybe we men don't understand a girl's mind, but when Li Changzheng died, she married Qian Er. Everyone went to the wedding banquet and congratulated her on the surface, but in their hearts they felt sorry for her."

"Why is Qian Er not as good as Li Changzheng?" Zhu Xiaomin asked first.

Anyway, she is a face control.

Gu Mancang thought for a moment and said, "Li Changzheng is taller, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and he looks honest."

Although this description does not describe a handsome man, it is better than Qian Er's ugly appearance.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded slightly.

Xie Chengzhi said, "But Li Changzheng's father passed away early, and there was no one to help the Li family. The mother and son had a hard life. The Qian family has been in Liushu Village for generations, so they must have accumulated some wealth. Maybe it's for this?"

Gu Mancang shook his head: "The Qian family has four brothers. Even if they have some wealth, how much can they get? Besides, at that time, not to mention that Qian Tuzi was already in the first house, and the things in the hands of old lady Qian were all left to him, even Qian San and Qian Si got married before Qian Er. None of them was frugal. How much could they get?"

"When Li Changzheng was young, the Li family was indeed in a difficult situation. But Li Changzheng has grown up and is good at working in the fields. He is also an only child with a widowed mother. Whatever he saves belongs to him."
