Chapter 1019: Summer of the Second Year of Revitalization (Part 2)
Anger surges in my heart...
A buzzing sound rings in my ears...
The body was shaking, and the color of the sunlight falling in the yard turned gray...
There were whispers around, and there seemed to be various voices of discussion...
Mother stood under the eaves not far away, crying into tears. Several younger brothers and sisters were also anxious. Ning Ke came from the room carrying water, and was scolded afterwards, so she walked back crying...
Ning Ji was kneeling in the yard with a bruised nose and swollen face. Beside him, three young men with the same bruised nose and swollen face were kneeling. One of them was Qin Weiwen, the second son of Qin Shaoqian's family... Ning Ji was too lazy to pay attention to them.
Anger surges in my heart...
At the end of April in the second year of China, Ning Ji experienced the most humiliating days in his more than ten years...
***************
The afternoon sun shines on the hills, and more than a dozen figures are walking along the rugged mountain roads, with the sound of dogs barking occasionally.
"Go this way."
Ning Xi and Min Chuyi were both members of this team. They moved forward into the deep woods, chasing possible targets.
Even Ning Xi, who had always been kind, looked particularly gloomy and serious at this moment. Min Chuyi also had a cold expression on his face, paying close attention to all suspicious movements around him as he walked forward.
When the sun gradually set towards the west, someone discovered some traces ahead. Ning Xi, Chu Yi and others rushed over. They found some sundries on the edge of a cliff, including small packages and leftover food.
Solid food, a woman's handkerchief, and a small book with a little blood stain...
"Where are the people?"
Ning Xi took the small book and looked at it for a moment, then asked.
"It seems like... it fell."
There are traces of someone slipping and falling on the edge of the cliff. It slopes westward day by day, and the mountain stream below seems to be bottomless.
"Prepare the rope, I'll go down." Min Chu said to the people around him.
Ning Xi pulled her away from the edge of the cliff with one hand: "What are you going to do? I'm going down!"
The leader of the search team was in a dilemma. In the end, they tied up a long rope and let the skinny member of the team who was the best at climbing go down first.
The setting sun burned brightly in the sky, and everyone lit a fire on the cliff. When the sky gradually darkened, the thin man came back along the rope.
"The bottom is too deep, and the search cannot be completed at one time. I searched carefully several times on the edge of the cliff, but no body was found yet."
"It's possible that it fell and was picked up by a wild animal. Did you see any blood?" Ning Xi asked.
"...I haven't found it yet. Maybe I have to look for it a few more times."
"Let's rest tonight. At sunrise tomorrow, I will go down with you to look for it." Min Chuyi said from the side.
The bonfire was burning brightly on the cliff, lighting up everything in the camp. After a while, Min Chuyi brought dinner, and Ning Xi was still looking at the baggage and various objects on the ground: "Tell me, did she slip and fall?
I jumped on purpose."
Min Chuyi frowned: "You have to see the person in life, you have to see the body in death, and then we'll talk about it after you see it... If that woman is really down there, my second brother will never be able to explain it clearly in this lifetime."
*****************
At night, it started to rain in Zhangcun.
Ning Ji, Qin Weiwen and others were still kneeling in the yard. Wenwen, Ning Ke, Ning He and other children stood beside them holding umbrellas, covering some of the rain for them.
Ning Yi had already left home. In a nearby office, he met Hou Wu, who hurried over and was temporarily responsible for the incident: "...I discovered something. This woman named Yu Xiaoer may have some problems. According to
Some people's reaction is that this woman has a bad reputation in the neighborhood."
"If you hear about it, don't do it. She is a young woman who is not married and has become a teacher. Of course the old-school people will not think well of her. Say something useful."
"Yu Xiaoer's father made a mistake. When he was in the northwest, he said he surrendered on the battlefield. At that time, their mother and daughter had already come to the southwest. There were several witnesses who proved her father's surrender. Within two years, her mother
I was unhappy and died, leaving Yu Xiaoer alone. Although I don't want to pursue these things, privately we probably had a very bad life. Two years ago, Yu Xiaoer was able to be sent from Hedeng to become a teacher.
On the one hand, it is due to the impact of the war and the lack of people in the rear. On the other hand, looking at the records, there is something fishy..."
Ning Yi frowned: "Go on."
"More than two months ago, Qin Weiwen went to Sangping and did establish a romantic relationship with her in private, but neither of them told anyone about it. The specific process may be difficult to investigate, but the first group of people who went there today are here.
A small package of something was found at Yu Xiaoer's house, an aphrodisiac used between men and women to have fun. She was an eighteen-year-old young woman, and she was beautiful. She didn't know why she would prepare this at home... From the packaging
It seems that it has been used recently, so it should not be left by her parents..."
Hou Wu said and took out a small bag of things from his arms. Ning Yi waved his hand: "It's not empirical evidence, it's all speculation."
"That's all there is for now."
"Are you looking for someone?"
"We are using all our manpower to search, but this woman has disappeared for a few days. It is difficult to say whether she can be found."
"Let's go find it first." Ning Yi said.
Hou Wu nodded and left.
*****************
In the early morning, four people were still kneeling there in the yard of Zhang Village. Wenwen, Ning Ke and other children were holding umbrellas for them with their red eyes open. The rain gradually stopped in the sky.
The morning glow revealed that Ning Xi was dozens of miles away in the mountains. Chu Yi and others tied up ropes and took turns going down to the mountain stream to search.
At noon, a group of people came quickly towards Zhang Village, led by the one-eyed general Qin Shaoqian. He walked into the yard and picked up a wooden stick on the way. After entering, he knocked Qin Weiwen down with a bang.
land.
In the nearby room, Wenwen, Ning Ke and other children stayed up all night and were still resting, but then they were all awakened.
"Fuck! You are a bunch of brainless people who are killing each other because of a woman. I will beat you to death right now——"
His stick not only knocked over Qin Weiwen, but also knocked Ning Ji over with his stick. After the two of them received a stick each, Su Tan'er, Xiaochan, Yunzhu, Jin'er and others in the yard rushed over.
Hongti stood in front of him, and Xigua snatched the wooden stick from his hand: "Old Qin! You are not allowed to mess around! Who allowed you to beat your child?"
"Things are not clear yet!"
"Old Qin, calm down..."
"Fuck!" Qin Shaoqian stretched out his foot and kicked Qin Weiwen on the ground, then stepped away and looked at a group of women: "Where is Ning Yi?" He turned around and went out to find Ning Yi.
Ning Ji, who had fallen to the ground, got up and continued to kneel there numbly. What was surging in his mind was still incomparable anger... and doubts...
*****************
Since returning to Zhangcun in the second half of last year, Ning Ji has basically not done anything too outrageous.
He practices martial arts and medicine every day, and occasionally participates in high-intensity training and simulated combat for special forces. Although his grades are not very good, his family does not place excessive demands on him.
He practiced martial arts until he was fourteen years old and had a solid foundation. It was the age when he was in full swing. Occasionally and inexplicably, he would think of the little bitch Qu Longjun in Chengdu. As for why, he didn't know, and he didn't want to think about it.
Too clear.
Qu Longjun has left Chengdu, and those weak women with no strength may die quietly somewhere in the outside world. Sometimes Ning Ji has such thoughts and feels pity, but at most
That is a pity.
In the school, the physical characteristics of men and women aged thirteen or fourteen begin to become more and more obvious. It is the most ambiguous and estranged youth moment. Sometimes when I think of the feelings between men and women, they will blush when they meet, but in public, it is absolutely
No boy would honestly like to have a crush on a girl. Compared with other children around him, Ning Ji had seen more of the world. For example, he had seen a little bitch taking a bath in Chengdu. Therefore, on these matters, he occasionally thought of,
There is always a sense of superiority.
Last year, Aunt Gu once asked him if he liked little bitches. Ning Ji was categorical on this issue. Even if he really talked about liking it, how could a girl like Qu Longjun compare to Southwest China?
What about the girls in the army? But at the same time, if there is a girl around him who is more attractive than Qu Longjun, for a while, he can't find any unique object to add such a comment, so he can only
He said, any one of them is much better than Qu Longjun.
In April, the school organized an activity after class, asking all the children to help out in relatively poor places on the surrounding mountains. The school here chose Sangping, a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers. There is also a primary school in Sangping, and there is a
Yu Xiaoer, a very beautiful and gentle female teacher, is said to have lived in Hedeng before, and the two of them got along for nearly half a month. During this period, Ning Ji had strong martial arts skills, a cheerful personality, and was the backbone of the class.
One of them has helped the other party do many things.
On April 23rd, he helped everyone in the village collect firewood. Ning Ji finally helped Yu Xiaoer, who lived on a remote mountainside, pick up a load of firewood and go back.
When the two of them walked halfway, it started to rain in the sky. When they arrived at Yu Xiaoer's house, the other party asked Ning Ji to take a bath here, iron his clothes, and have dinner before going back. Ning Ji was upright and agreed.
He took a shower first, then sat in his room drinking tea in his single clothes. Teacher Yu ironed his wet clothes. Since there was hot water, she also went to wash them. When she came out, the bath towel she was wrapped in fell off...
Ning Ji's mouth was dry, and the female teacher was a little panicked, but then she didn't hide it and slowly approached him...
For Ning Ji, the next thing is of course love. Although he doesn’t know what to do next, Yu Xiaoer is so perfect for him. She is mature, gentle, and doesn’t want the little ones around her.
The girl was so boring, and she looked like she had the amorous feelings that I had seen in Qu Longjun, but she was from the Southwest - how could I like those women from outside the Southwest.
He also spent the night of the 24th at Yu Xiaoer's home. Ning Ji said many things. On the morning of the 25th, everyone who came over was about to leave for Zhang Village. Although Ning Ji was full of happiness,
Naturally, he did not have the courage not to go back. He followed the large army back, still thinking about how to find a way to go to Sangping again. Unexpectedly, on the 29th, Qin Weiwen came from Sangping with two followers.
According to Qin Weiwen, he and Yu Xiaoer were in a real love relationship and had been getting along privately for more than two months. On the 25th, he came back from outside and saw Yu Xiaoer injured. He tried to ask, but Yu Xiaoer was injured.
Xiaoer kicked him out. Qin Weiwen asked around about what happened. On the afternoon of the 26th, when Qin Weiwen went to Yu Xiaoer's home again, he found a blood letter written by her, saying that her innocence had been tainted, and that she was not guilty.
She didn’t want to live anymore. The person who defiled her with force was none other than Ning Yi’s second son, Ning Ji. Although he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he was very skilled in martial arts. On the night of the 24th, his bestiality came out and he couldn’t resist at all.
, was beaten, and his innocence was taken away, and now he can only die.
Qin Weiwen suddenly panicked. First of all, he naturally wanted to find Yu Xiaoer and ask for details. Then he called a few friends to search nearby, but he was never found. Later, he learned from people near Yu Xiaoer's house that twenty-five
That morning, she did see Ning Ji walking out of her home. Qin Weiwen could no longer hold back and rushed all the way to Zhangcun.
After seeing the blood book, Ning Ji was suddenly confused, as if the whole world suddenly changed color. He had no idea what was going on. His first reaction was to go to Sangping to find Yu Xiaoer and Qin Weiwen.
He directly punched him. Ning Ji felt upright and thought that he had done nothing wrong. How could he show any weakness? Now one against three, all four of them became bruised and swollen, and then the matter spread.
The second son of the Ning family raped a woman...
It seems that he is still a teacher...
He also committed suicide...
In a daze, Ning Ji could hear such comments coming continuously. At his age, even though he had been on the battlefield and killed enemies, how could he possibly be able to deal with such a thing... Occasionally, Tao Xiao flashed through his mind.
His face, he didn't know what happened...
*****************
Ning Ji, Qin Weiwen and other four people knelt down for twenty-nine and thirty. When Qin Shaoqian arrived, it was already the first day of May. On this night, Ning Xi, Min Chuyi, Hou Wu and others successively
Arrived and reported phased results.
In the mountains dozens of miles away from Sangping, the scene of a woman committing suicide was very realistic, but no body could be found under the mountain stream. There were doubts in it, and it was probably a conspiracy. As for Hou Wu, they investigated the woman
I bought a road guide and identity certificate through special channels. On the 27th, this certificate appeared near Chengdu. It must have been borrowed from a cargo ship to leave Sichuan through the waterway, so it is difficult to find it.
"Other speculations cannot be proven for the time being." Hou Wudao said, "However, Xiaoer's purchase of identity certificate happened two months ago. The person who handled it has already caught it. For the time being, we can only speculate on her initial purpose.
...At that time, she happened to have a relationship with Mr. Qin Weiwen. Perhaps she had been holding a grudge over her parents over the years and wanted to do something. After two months, Ning Ji went to Sangping in April.
Having lived it, I can just recognize it, so..."
In the room in the small courtyard, Ning Yi, Qin Shaoqian, Tan'er, Ning Xi, Chu Yi and others listened to this, their expressions became more and more gloomy.
"...Seizing Qin Weiwen and even killing Qin Weiwen is nothing more than making General Qin sad. But if this fake death can really be believed, Mr. Ning and General Qin have a problem because of the child, then it is really true.
Let outsiders take advantage." Hou Wudao.
Tan'er raised her head: "Can we still catch her in four days?"
"Our people are still chasing." Hou Wudao said, "However, Yu Xiaoer has been trained by the militia in the past, and judging from how she pretended to be dead this time to create suspicion, she is very careful. If it is determined that she did not commit suicide, she may have killed her in the process.
There will be other ways, if we turn around again midway, we won’t be too sure after leaving Sichuan.”
Ning Yi was silent for a moment: "... When we were with He Deng, how much harm did the people around them do to their mother and daughter? What happened, please check carefully... Don't be too public, and tell me after you find out.
.”
"Yes." Hou Wu nodded.
Qin Shaoqian, who looked gloomy, pushed away his chair and walked out of the room. Silver starlight was shining in the yard. Qin Shaoqian walked straight to the middle of the yard and kicked Qin Weiwen over with one kick, and then kicked Ning Ji over with another kick.
"A bunch of brothers in trouble were played like this by a woman."
Qin Weiwen got up and stared, wondering why his father said this. After a while, Hou Wu, Ning Xi, Chu Yi and others came over and told them the result of the matter.
Ning Ji raised his head and his eyes turned blood red.
When someone from the first grade of junior high school pulled him up, he remained motionless with his lips parted. This happened for a long time.
"She said she liked me...I just..."
Ever since he saw the blood letter, Ning Ji started fighting with Qin Weiwen without making any excuse for this matter. Only at this moment could he finally say these words. After a while,
His eyes closed and he fell to the ground.
He fainted...
******************
There seemed to be some gurgling noise in the darkness, like water boiling or blood boiling.
When I woke up, my mother was sleeping on the side of the bed, and the eyelids of her eyes were swollen, like little lanterns.
It was probably early in the morning, and my father and his aunt Su Taner were talking softly outside.
"...I have already said that if you are born in this kind of family, the bad things you will encounter will be many times worse than the average person..."
"...It's all that woman's fault. She was so deliberate."
"...Ordinary people can't encounter this kind of careful planning... So, no matter how much preparation I make, I feel that it is not enough. I am really grateful to God that Ning Xi can be safe until now..."
"...I feel sad when I think about Xiaoji's age and encountering this kind of thing. He is a child..."
"...Let's be open-minded. He didn't suffer anyway. I heard that the guy named Yu is pretty good-looking...Okay, what's the point of hitting me? What else can I think..."
Amid the whispers, Ning Ji fell into a deep sleep again.
When he woke up again, a group of brothers and sisters had gathered in the room. Xiao Ningke was feeding him some white porridge. Ning Ji didn't have many injuries on his body. After a few sips, he brought it over and changed it.
Take off your clothes, get out of bed and walk around.
Walking out of the room, out of the yard, and onto the street, someone greeted him with a smile, but he always felt that people were secretly talking about what happened a few days ago in their hearts. He walked to the river in Zhang Village and found a piece of wood to sit on.
Below, a huge sunset was setting in the west. This sunset was soft and warm, as if it was comforting him.
Xiao'er's face flashed in his mind, and sometimes it was switched to Qu Longjun's. Their faces alternated in his mind, which made him feel bored.
I will never like any girl again in my life.
He told himself this in his heart.
This day is the second day of May.
On the third day of May, he stayed at home for a day. Although he did not go to school, no one came to see him. He helped his mother tidy up the housework, talked to other aunts, and even paid a special visit to Ning Yi to inquire about the case.
As an excuse, he chatted with his father for a long time, and then played and joked with his brothers and sisters for a long time. Several dolls he had collected were also given to Wenwen, Ning He and others.
In the early morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, he put on makeup, left a written letter on the bed, took a small bundle, and quietly dug it out from the side of the yard. He was very good at Qinggong, and before dawn, he wore
Ye Xingyi quickly left Zhang Village. He knelt down on the roadside at the entrance of the village, kowtowed to his parents quietly a few times, and then ran away quickly. Tears fell like rain on his face.
He knew that they would chase them from the main road, so he chose a small road and ran all the way through the fields and villages. By that afternoon, he felt that he was already far away from Zhang Village, so he chose a nearby road with not many people.
Around Shenshi, a war horse came from behind. Ning Ji did not look back. He just leaned on the side of the road and walked forward naturally. The war horse passed him, and Ning Ji frowned slightly, because the knight on the war horse was actually
Qin Weiwen. This man ran a long distance quickly. Then Qin Weiwen reined in the reins again and looked back at him from the front. Then, he got off the horse.
"The ghost lingers..." Ning Ji muttered in a low voice and walked towards that direction. Qin Weiwen also walked over. He originally had a knife on his body, but now he unsheathed it and it was still on the roadside.
"If you block me again this time, I will beat you to death!"
Ning Ji said as he walked away. Although he was not yet fifteen at this time, Qin Weiwen was three years older than him and was already eighteen. If it was really a life and death fight, Ning Ji would be able to kill everyone on the twenty-ninth day.
people.
The bruise on Qin Weiwen's face had not gone away, but he did not flinch at this time. He walked close without saying a word and punched Ning Ji in the face.
"Fuck, it's all that bitch's business. Are you done with it-"
Ning Ji cursed, waved his hand to block, and punched the opponent in the abdomen. Qin Weiwen took two steps back, then rushed forward again.
The two of them fought each other on the roadside for a long time. After Qin Weiwen staggered and Ning Ji received a few punches and kicks, they stopped. A large car passed by on the road, and Ning Ji dragged his horse aside to make way for him.
Then the two sat down on the grassy slope by the roadside.
"Why do you have to go out..." Qin Weiwen said.
"I found that bitch and killed her with one knife." Ning Ji said.
Qin Weiwen was silent for a moment: "Actually, she... had a bad life before. Maybe we... also had something wrong with her..."
"It's none of my business, either you go together or you stay in the mountain den!"
"I'm here to give you something." Qin Weiwen stood up, tied the baggage from his horse, sat back, and placed the baggage next to Ning Ji's legs, "You, your father asked me to bring it to you..."
"ah……"
"Otherwise, how will I find you! If I really want to capture you, can you run away!" Qin Weiwen shouted while waiting for his eyes to be raised, and pulled the upper arm of his face, making him grin, and then he took out an envelope from his arms.
The letter sealed with fire paint said, "Here, this letter contains the contact information of various personnel of the Chinese Army outside. After you read it, burn it. I give it to you now. It has not been opened. You can read it now. Later.
It’s going to burn!”
Ning Ji silently opened the letter. What was written in the letter was indeed some of the Chinese army's methods of contacting the outside world. He rubbed his eyes and carried it hard. At the end of the letter, there were two more lines.
The father's handwriting reads: Son, take care of yourself.
Mother's handwriting said: Come back soon.
There were tears all around again.
Ning Ji held back his voice and tried his best to wipe away his tears. He read it aloud, stammered and recited the contents of the letter twice more. He took the fire certificate from Qin Weiwen's hand, lit a fire several times, and burned the letter.
Already.
Qin Weiwen's tears were also falling. He stood up and kicked Ning Ji on the shoulder: "You have to go out and die!"
Ning Ji said: "I'm the best in martial arts in the world. Only those like you who can't fight will die——"
He didn't care that Qin Weiwen kicked him. He opened the bag and found that there were dry food, silver, weapons, and clothes. It seemed that every aunt had put something in it, and then his father asked Qin Weiwen to bring it to him. At this moment
Only then did he realize that no one seemed to notice his sneaking out in the morning, but maybe his father had already waved him off from the attic at home. And not only his father, Aunt Gua, Aunt Hongti, and even his brother and Chu Yi could also notice it.
This point.
They definitely didn't want to leave Southwest by themselves, but at this moment, they didn't really stop them.
Ning Ji picked up the baggage and walked forward. Qin Weiwen did not follow him. He held the horse and said, "Let her live -"
"I'll bring her head back and use it as a ball for you to kick -"
"Do you want a horse?"
"Fuck you—"
"I'll fuck your uncle——"
Tears couldn't stop on Ning Ji's cheeks. He could only walk and scold him again and again. After a while, Qin Weiwen's voice disappeared, and Ning Ji dared to look back to the southwest, where it seemed that his parents were still waving to him.
One day, the young swallow will leave the warm nest, experience real wind and rain, and become strong...
When I come back, I can protect everyone in my family...
…
At this moment, the summer sunshine is shining on this vast land.
Zou Xu led a team of troops to the north of Shanxi, trying to negotiate a favorable deal; Liu Guangshi and Dai Mengwei were preparing to go south of the Yangtze River; in the south of the Yangtze River, the Fair Party conquered cities and territories and continued to expand; and in Fujian, the orthodox court's innovative measures
, one item after another appears.
The monk named Ping An followed Lin Zongwu, crossed the Yellow River, and headed south. The young man named Ning Ji headed east and the cruel world in the north——
