Chapter 150: Midnight Gong
After building two stone jars, Zhou Ziwen started using them immediately.
One was placed in my own yard, and the other was moved to the Chen family’s sister’s yard.
Then he went to the river to fetch water and filled the two jars.
In order to fill these two jars, Zhou Ziwen also spent a lot of time.
The tank he built was relatively large, and one tank held sixteen buckets of water.
His buckets are relatively large, each bucket can hold thirty kilograms, and a full tank of water is close to five hundred kilograms, almost half a ton.
Zhou Ziwen also had his own considerations for making the water tank so big. One was to water the vegetables in the yard, and the other was to raise fish.
If you can’t finish the fish you catch in the future, you can keep it in the tank first and fish it out when you want to eat it.
If someone else wants to eat fish, they can always ask him to change it, such as Zhou Chaoyang.
After dinner, Zhou Ziwen stood in the courtyard of the Chen sisters, admiring the two sisters' five-animal show.
The two women move slowly and have a graceful temperament.
Zhou Ziwen often laments that it would be great if he knew yoga. If he could, he could teach them to perform yoga.
I have to say that for women, the movements in yoga will be very beautiful when displayed.
After staying with the Chen sisters for a while, Zhou Ziwen left wisely.
Although they are no longer very particular about this aspect, it is not a problem if one of them gets tired of being together.
He himself didn't care, he was just afraid that the Chen sisters would be gossiped about by others.
At night, Zhou Ziwen was sleeping soundly when suddenly the sound of gongs in the village suddenly sounded, waking him up.
“What’s going on?” Zhou Ziwen didn’t react for a moment.
I remember the last time this happened in the village, there were still wild boars entering the village, but I don’t know what happened this time.
Looking at the time, it will be exactly twelve o'clock in the evening.
Seeing that the gong was still beating outside, Zhou Ziwen didn't waste any time and hurriedly got up from the bed, preparing to gather in the village to see what was going on.
When he opened the courtyard door, the Chen family sisters next door were also alarmed. The Tayun in the courtyard was barking happily.
After this period of getting along, Zhou Ziwen knew that Tayun had discovered that his master was saying hello!
"Yiyi, sister, are you up?" Zhou Ziwen shouted across the yard.
"Coming!" Chen Qiaoyi's voice came from inside.
Soon, the Chen sisters hurriedly opened the courtyard door. Because they were in a hurry to get out, they didn't even comb their hair, which made it look a bit messy.
But that’s what’s good about beautiful girls, even if their hair is messy, they still look good.
When the Chen sisters came out, Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang next door also opened the door and came out.
"Brother Zhou, what's going on? Why do we have to gather again in the middle of the night?" Zhou Chaoyang asked as soon as he came out.
"I don't know, let's go to the production team to gather first!" Zhou Ziwen shook his head.
The Chen sisters were a little scared and followed Zhou Ziwen closely.
Being with Zhou Ziwen gave them a huge sense of security, as if they didn't have to be afraid no matter what happened.
Zhou Ziwen led them towards the production team. When passing by the Educated Youth Courtyard, there were also some educated youths coming out of the courtyard.
In the houses of the villagers in the distance, one by one lit torches and held kerosene lamps, making the whole village lively.
Along the way, they also met many villagers who went to gather, but these villagers didn't know what happened.
But it is conceivable that this sudden gathering in the middle of the night must not be a good thing.
For a while, no one was in the mood to talk and just rushed on their way.
When they arrived at the grain drying field, what they saw surprised them.
It turned out that there were several educated youths from the Educated Youth Institute in the grain-searing field. They were tied up in the center of the grain-shading field like prisoners. Their hair was messy and they were crying. "What has happened?" When he saw this situation for the first time, Zhou Ziwen had a guess in his mind.
"Brother Zhou, why were Li Weimin and the others arrested?" Zhou Chaoyang also asked in surprise.
“I don’t know.” Zhou Ziwen shook his head.
Although he guessed that they had committed a crime, he could not guess the specific reason.
“Aren’t these the educated youths from the Educated Youth Institute? Why were they arrested?”
"What else could be the reason for this? I made a mistake. I already know that these educated youths are not good people."
"I think so. There was one less egg in my house the day before yesterday. It must have been stolen by these bastards. . ”
“These educated youths are just restless. I don’t think we should let educated youths come to our place.”
……
The villagers talked a lot. They even fired a map cannon, which made the educated youths in the Youth Academy extremely embarrassed.
After all, these villagers were talking about them both internally and externally, and looking at Li Weimin and the others, you could tell that they must have made a mistake, which made them unable to even refute.
In the crowd, Zhou Ziwen was calm and composed, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
In fact, he thinks so too. At present, the villagers are very enthusiastic about him. If other educated youth make mistakes, they cannot blame him.
While the villagers were arguing with each other, several members of the escort team suddenly came in front of everyone.
In their hands, they held some freshly dug sweet potatoes.
As soon as these things came out, before Zhou Ziwen could react, the villagers exploded.
“What a fool, did they go to the fields to steal sweet potatoes?”
“Shameless, beat these beasts to death for daring to steal our food.”
“ White-eyed wolves, even if they come to steal food from us, if they steal things, we will kill them all and shoot them.”
……
Some grumpy villagers shouted in the crowd, as if these educated youths had committed a heinous crime.
But this mentality is understandable. After all, sweet potatoes are food for the production team and also for the villagers.
In this day and age, beating a lot of people to death in the countryside is really not a big deal.
Seeing the fierce appearance of the villagers, the Chen sisters who were following Zhou Ziwen were frightened.
The two of them couldn't help but grab Zhou Ziwen's neighbor, as if this would bring them courage.
Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi also hid behind Zhou Ziwen, not daring to look at the faces of the villagers.
"It's okay, don't be afraid. It was Li Weimin and the others who committed the crime, and it has nothing to do with us." Zhou Ziwen lowered his head to comfort.
One on the left and one on the right, almost unable to comfort me.
Here, several ill-tempered villagers, despite the guards' obstruction, came to the tied up educated youths and started beating them with punches and kicks.
These people showed no mercy, they were so ruthless. There were only screams heard at the scene, which made people shudder.
Several cadres in the village looked on and did not stop him immediately. Instead, they waited for the villagers to vent for a while before they started to scold him.
"Okay, everyone, stop first, don't beat people up, we still have to ask questions." The captain shouted loudly.
Here, only he can stop the angry villagers.
From this we can see how much prestige the captain has in the village.
