More than two months after this incident, one day Niu Shengyun went to the educated youth spot to organize a meeting for them.
When the meeting was over, Niu Shengyun asked her to stay.
She was scared and looked at the other educated youths with fear and expectation in her eyes, but everyone left indifferently.
At that moment, her already cold heart seemed to be frozen, stiff and numb.
She shouldn't expect anything from anyone!
She took out the dagger from her bag. She would rather break it than destroy it!
Rather than living such a dark life, it would be better to end it.
Growing up, everyone spurned her and bullied her. She never dared to tell her mother that she regretted coming to this world.
For her, life is nothing but endless suffering and humiliation. There is no sunshine or hope in her life!
Niu Shengyun looked at her holding the dagger and smiled sarcastically, "Wen Zhiqing, what are you doing? I just want to say a few words to you."
Wen Qiuning held the dagger tightly and looked at him fiercely.
Niu Shengyun sat on the stool and said very calmly, "Wen Zhiqing, why do you think you are doing this?"
"Look, you don't have enough food, clothing or warmth to sleep. Even these educated youths are far away from you. What are you trying to do?"
"You are also a person who has read books and can use your brain. You have to work hard all day to earn those work points. It's not just a word from me."
It seems that Oxen’s luck is hard, but it seems that it is soft.
Wen Qiuning remained unmoved and still held the dagger tightly.
Niu Shengyun continued: "Just last time, I received the notice as soon as you arrived at the police station to report the crime. Do you think you can beat me here?"
No wonder the scene was cleaned up, no wonder the two of them didn't panic at all, no wonder the police refused to check Niu Shengyun's body, it turned out that they had colluded with each other long ago.
"I'll tell you everything. If you want to follow me, I'll give you thirty yuan a month. You can do your daily farm work as long as you like."
"Learn from Zhang Yuli and Xu Yue. They are smarter than you. Look at their lives now, and then look at yours."
Wen Qiuning was shocked.
Xu Yue came to the village two years before her, and Zhang Yuli came to the village one year before her. The two were considered pretty among female educated youths.
No wonder, the two of them don't do much farm work on weekdays, and they always dress up. It turns out that the two of them have been hooked up with Niu Shengyun.
However, Wen Qiuning is sure of one thing, that is, Niu Shengyun must have embezzled collective assets.
As a captain, he only earns a salary of more than ten yuan a month, which is barely enough to support his family.
But his two sons and three daughters are all very fat, and he still has extra money to support two educated youths.
Niu Shengyun stood up and walked out. When he passed by Wen Qiuning, he lowered his voice and said, "Think about it carefully, while I still care about you."
Naturally, Wen Qiuning would not consider it, and she had never told anyone about Zhang Yuli and Xu Yue.
Some time later, in order to show his sincerity, Niu Shengyun once secretly stuffed two dollars into her bag, and Wen Qiuning threw it to her on the spot.
Niu Shengyun thought she was too little, so after a few days, he directly stuffed her with a big unity card, but she still threw it to her.
But with so many talkative women in the village, Niu Shengyun's wife soon found out about this.
Niu Shengyun's wife went to the educated youth center, slapped her twice, and called her cheap and shameless!
She wanted to fight back, but was held back by women who were watching the excitement. Some women took the opportunity to attack her again.
That day, her face was red and swollen from being beaten, and her body was bruised from being pinched.
All the educated youths just looked on indifferently, and no one stepped forward to help her.
Maybe it was because his wife, who was not so lucky last time, was venting her anger. A few days later, Wen Qiuning met her again while working in the fields.
Niu Shengyun's wife and other women held him down in the field and beat her severely.
This time, Wen Qiuning was badly beaten and lay in the field unable to get up, but no one helped her.
She didn't know how long it took before she got up with difficulty and walked back to the educated youth point in a daze.
The world is so ridiculous!
It was obviously Niu Shengyun's fault, why was everyone blaming her and beating her?
Just like her mother, could her mother have given birth to her by herself?
There were obviously two people who made the mistake, so why let her mother bear all the infamy alone?
Also, did she want to come to this world?
no! But why did everyone scold her and insult her?
This time, she didn't call the police.
She understands that Niu's fortune is everything in the village, and as long as she lives here for a day, she will have to live in this shadow.
Wen Qiuning lives like a zombie.
Maybe Niu Shengyun couldn't get her answer and wanted more vicious revenge, or maybe Niu Shengyun's wife was making a big fuss.
Not long after, Wen Qiuning was assigned to guard the forest in the mountains.
The forest was very large, covering hundreds of acres. Generally, five or six men were needed to guard such a forest, but the village allowed her to guard it alone.
It is impossible not to be afraid.
As soon as the sun set, the mountain forest became completely dark, and the darkness was so dark that it made people feel depressed and panicked.
The mountain wind blew by, and the entire mountain forest made a terrifying cry, as if countless demons and monsters were splaying their teeth and claws around to devour people.
At the same time, Wen Qiuning was also grateful to this mountain forest. It was because of this mountain forest that she had the opportunity she had later.
Every day, as soon as the sun sets, Wen Qiuning locks himself in the hut, locks the doors and windows tightly, and does not go out until dawn the next day.
She had nothing to do by herself, and it was also a way to distract herself and fight off her fear.
Every night, she lit a kerosene lamp to read and study.
In this mountain forest, she was forgotten by the world, living a lonely and progressive life with trees as her company and birds as her friends.
In the morning, she reads English and texts; at noon, she studies mathematics and politics; in the evening, she reads books and newspapers.
Occasionally when I am in a good mood, I will go into the forest to dig wild vegetables. If I am lucky, I will find a few wild eggs.
She goes down the mountain once a month to study at an educated youth center and to receive letters from her mother.
More than a year passed like this, and the time came to October 1977.
On this day, she went to the educated youth center to study and saw that everyone's faces were filled with smiles, no longer the lifeless look they used to have.
She didn't ask them what happened?
For more than a year, except for her mother, she seemed to have cut off all contact with the world.
These educated youths have already excluded her.
Oxen's fortune is as usual, and everyone is organized to have a meeting to study.
At the meeting, Wen Qiuning learned the exciting news that the country had resumed the college entrance examination!
She couldn't describe her mood at that moment. It was as if the blood in her whole body was boiling, the tip of her nose was sore with excitement, and tears were flowing out.
But in less than two minutes, Niu Shengyun's next words completely extinguished her enthusiasm!
