Chapter 338: Temporary Calm
“If it weren’t for the things you told me before, I would definitely not be on guard against her, nor would I be able to avoid the key points, and by the way, I also grabbed the evidence.”
Lianyi said with lingering fear.
Then he wanted to touch the back of his head, but was stopped by Wang Xiufen.
“Zheng Xin, bring the styptic powder and wrap up the injury on the back of Lianyi’s head first.”
"Then you should shave your hair! Otherwise you won't be able to see the wound."
Zheng Xin said while picking up things.
"Two good sisters, I don't want to be bald on the back of my head, it looks so ugly, don't cut my hair."
Lianyi immediately waved her hand.
Because of Lianyi's uncooperation, her head was completely bandaged in the end.
"Why do you think Pan Nuannuan disappeared?"
Zheng Xin asked directly.
“She was afraid that Lianyi would wake up, but she didn’t dare to go down into the ditch herself. She must have found a place to hide. When Lianyi lost too much blood and couldn’t be saved, she would show up again to ask for help. You can also clear yourself of suspicion."
Wang Xiufen thought for a while and said.
Zheng Xin thought about it carefully and felt that what Sister Wang said made sense.
"She hasn't come out yet. She must know that Lianyi has been saved and she will be exposed, so she doesn't dare to show up."
Following Wang Xiufen's guess, Zheng Xin expressed her opinion.
“But there were only two of them at the time, and there was no third person, so it’s not certain.”
Wang Xiufen said to herself.
“Yes, that’s why I insisted on reporting it to the police. I don’t believe no one saw it. After all, I screamed loudly when I fell.”
Lianyi touched the thick gauze on her head and said to the two of them.
Wang Xiufen and Zheng Xin also nodded, expressing their agreement with Lianyi's approach.
Because Wang Xiufen found out about Pan Nuannuan and Zhao Shuanzi before and had a preconceived impression, so they all preferred Lianyi.
"How was I rescued? Who discovered me?"
Lianyi asked immediately.
"It's that Zhao Jingcheng. He said he found you lying at the bottom of the ditch and passed out, so he came to notify us."
Zheng Xin immediately replied, both of them were in the yard at the time, Zhao Jingcheng was startled when he saw Zhao Jingcheng running out of breath and turning pale. When they heard that something had happened to Lianyi, they both panicked and immediately went to call Qian Jianguo. Everyone in the educated youth spot at that time cheered. The mountains and forests are gone.
"Tell me, did Zhao Jingcheng see something? Otherwise, as Sister Wang said, if there were only Pan Nuannuan and I at that time, as long as she insisted that it was an accident, I would have nothing else She can completely deny the evidence."
Lianyi said after thinking about it.
At this time in the courtyard of the educated youth spot, Zhao Jingcheng had already told Captain Zhao what he had "saw". Captain Zhao was now more confident, so when he saw Qian Jianguo and others coming out, he He stopped the man and asked Zhao Jingcheng to tell him what happened. "Jianguo, this is an internal matter within your educated youth camp. Don't affect the entire Hongqi Commune. Now that Pan educated youth is obviously hiding. I have a witness here. How are you going to deal with it?"
Qian Jianguo frowned even more after listening to Zhao Jingcheng's narration, because his narration was consistent with Wu Lianyi's rhetoric, and the two people were incompatible with each other, so there was no need to lie. .
"We'd better look for Pan Nuannuan first and wait until he is found."
Qian Jianguo said in a deep voice.
"Okay! The village will also send people to help find it."
Captain Zhao clapped his hands and walked away.
In the following days, everyone in the educated youth spots and in the village was talking about the bloody incident, saying that two female educated youths fought over a stutterer, and some said that two educated youths were jealous of a man. In short, there is anything to say.
But Pan Nuannuan was never found, and now the rumors were even more rampant. Anyway, it was almost winter, so everyone was fine and watching the fun. At the same time, news came out that Zhao Shuanzi was missing. It was even more lively under the old elm tree in the lower village. It was said that Pan Zhiqing eloped with Zhao Shuanzi.
Zhao Fendou was a little anxious now. He didn't expect that his son would be involved in this matter. He had a very bad feeling. He had seen his eldest son bring coarse grains to Pan Zhiqing before. Pancake, there must be a relationship between the two.
That Pan Nuannuan hurt someone and was seen by Zhao Jingcheng, he must be afraid to hide, and may ask his son for help. Shuanzi likes those educated youths who are weak and elegant. If they are stunned by the other party, He turned his head, maybe he really took the other person and hid him.
In the end, Captain Zhao insisted on going to the town to report to the police. That afternoon, two uniformed police officers arrived at Hongqi Commune and began to visit, verify and collect clues about the missing two people one by one. They met with Lianyi, the person involved, and Zhao. Jing Cheng is the witness.
After a week of investigation, it was finally determined that Pan Nuannuan had intentionally hurt others and had absconded to avoid punishment. Zhao Shuanzi, as the son of the captain, may have been the one who helped him abscond, but there is currently no direct evidence. , temporarily listed as a missing person.
This turmoil has finally subsided, but the air pressure in the entire educated youth spot is a bit low. Now that everyone is going out to do errands, they usually start in groups of three and will not leave alone.
After Lianyi almost recovered from her injuries, she took Zheng Xin and Wan Xiufang and went to Zhao Jingcheng's dilapidated house and gave him some coarse grains, brown sugar, and eggs as a thank you gift for saving his life.
Lianyi also generously gave him some money and tickets and asked him to buy a cotton-padded coat in the town for the winter. After Zhao Jingcheng accepted it fearfully, the three of them returned to the educated youth spot together.
"Sister Xiufen, aren't Pan Nuannuan's family here? Are her things still in our house?"
Zheng Xin asked.
"They feel embarrassed to have such a daughter who intentionally hurts others. What's more, their family already values boys over girls. They wish she would die outside so as not to damage the family's reputation. How could they come here? They are afraid Lianyi asked them for medical expenses.”
Wang Xiufen told the truth.
"Hey! Because they are like this, the Pan Nuannuan they raised is short-sighted, which is really harmful."
Zheng Xin also sighed with emotion.
As a daughter, she also has older brothers and younger brothers in her family. Although her mother will be partial, it will not be so obvious. At least she will not be hungry. As a daughter of the Pan family, hunger is a common occurrence. That's why she developed a temperament of doing whatever it takes to get food.
Gradually, everyone gave up looking for Pan Nuannuan and Zhao Shuanzi. Anyway, people in the village were spreading rumors that the two people had a relationship before and must have eloped now.
But only Captain Zhao didn't believe it. Even if he wanted to elope, he still had to have money and food. Where could they hide in the winter?
The most likely possibility was deep in the mountains and forests, so not long after, Captain Zhao took the lead and gathered the young adults in the village to prepare to go hunting in the mountains and stock up on meat for the winter before the first snow fell.
This time, all the male compatriots in the educated youth camp actively signed up to participate, including Chen Jiashu.
