He Siwei said, "You misunderstood, half of the noodles is enough, not half a catty."
Tang Shuang pushed the noodles to her, "That won't work. Once we've agreed, we have to do whatever we say."
He Siwei felt a little embarrassed. It seemed that she had taken advantage of him.
Brother Tang Shuang was also here. As long as she asked someone to send a message, it was easy to get a piece of rabbit skin without having to exchange it for noodles. Tang Shuang didn't do this because she probably didn't want to cause any trouble to her brother.
Zhao Yongmei looked at it, thought about it and came over, "He Siwei, can I exchange a piece of rabbit skin with you? It doesn't need to be too much, just enough to be used as an insole."
He Siwei nodded.
Zhao Yongmei said wait a minute, and when she came back, she had a pack of kraft paper in her hand, "Here is brown sugar, can you take a look?"
Sugar is also a valuable thing. He Siwei opened it and took a look and agreed.
Anyway, if half of a rabbit skin is removed, only half is left. It would be good to exchange for some scarce daily necessities.
The three of them had a little secret because of this matter. Zhao Yongmei seemed to be talking more than usual. While the rabbit meat was cooked, he picked out three pieces of meat first and the three of them ate one piece secretly.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, after dark, Xiao Shougen and the others had finished their meal. The people who went down the mountain finally came back, but instead of Lin Fude, it was Lin Fude's daughter Lin Shuifang. Lin Fude went to the hospital for acute appendicitis for surgery, but he didn't. Don't worry about the farm on the mountain, so he asked his daughter to go up the mountain to help first.
Lin Shuifang is tall, with long braids, and a round face with a pair of triangular eyes, but her eyes are bright and shining. She has the purity and simplicity unique to girls of this era.
Besides her, there was a young man standing next to her. He Siwei glanced at him without stopping, but he could feel that Xie Xiaoyang had been looking at her.
Twelve workers went down and carried back a month's rations for the workers on the mountain. They carried the things for a day on the mountain road. After Lin Shuifang explained the situation, Xiao Shougen asked Zhao Yongmei and the others to get food for everyone.
Sun Xianghong and Hu Juan took Lin Shuifang to look around the camp, and finally took her back to the female workers' shack.
Half of the rabbit soup they made in the evening was left for them. They just needed to add some snow to cook it. The staple food was also brought out and kept warm on the stove.
Dinner is simple, just bring over the male workers' portions and that's it.
Sun Xianghong smelled the aroma of meat after entering the shack, "Where did you get the meat?"
Zhao Yongmei told about the rabbit found in the morning.
Sun Xianghong was silent for a while and said, "This is rare. After staying in the mountains for several months, this is the first time I saw a rabbit, and it was killed by myself."
Zhao Yongmei said, "It doesn't look like he was hit and killed, but it looks like he was killed by something."
The lunch box Sun Xianghong was holding was brought to her mouth and put down again. She looked up at Zhao Yongmei and asked, "What killed you?"
Zhao Yongmei said, "Two things happened last night. One was that someone broke into the women's shack and wanted to kill He Siwei. He ran away after being discovered. He was not from the male workers' side. The second was the hare found next to the bamboo pole. He was not killed by himself, his blood was spread all over the floor."
When Sun Xianghong heard this, he put down his lunch box and asked, "Can you tell me more about what happened?"
Zhao Yongmei said, "He Siwei is here too, let her talk."
Sun Xianghong turned around and faced He Siwei.
It was a matter of her own safety, so He Siwei told the story of that night in detail. When she mentioned that the four Wang Guodong people were missing, Sun Xianghong's voice became sharp.
She stood up suddenly, "What do you mean missing?"
Only then did Zhao Yongmei remember that she had forgotten to mention the disappearance of the four Wang Guodong.
After she said this, Sun Xianghong walked out.
Lin Shuifang also stood up and followed him out.
Four people were missing in the camp, people who did not belong to the camp broke into the female workers' shack, and a hare was killed. Everything was weird.
It's not like He Siwei never thought about it. Just like when she stopped Shen Hongwen from getting into trouble at the foot of the mountain, every step seemed to have deep meaning.
Now she is in the light and the enemy is in the dark. They are really coming for her, so she can only continue.
I was always on tenterhooks, and before things were clear, I scared myself out of my wits.
That night, Sun Xianghong came back with a piece of news, "He Siwei, we just had an impromptu meeting to discuss a few things. The people who broke into the shack came for you. The reason should be On you, but it doesn’t rule out that you sleep at the door, he will start with you first.”
He Siwei listened.
Sun Xianghong added, "The other person came to the female employee's shack, probably looking for something."
At this point, He Siwei suddenly had an idea and suddenly understood why Sun Xianghong had done so much foreshadowing.
Digging through things, or in other words, the person who came in last night did not want to kill her, but just caused something to happen, and then today he had a legitimate reason to dig through her things.
Thinking of this, He Siwei felt that it should be related to Li Xuegong's matter.
She met Li Xuegong for the last time. Because of his death, some clues about Li Xuegong were cut off here. Could it be that the people behind the scenes were worried that Li Xuegong would leave something in her hands, so they found her?
Thinking of this possibility, He Siwei shuddered.
If the other party can't find something, will she be worried about the long nights and dreams and kill her to silence her?
Although the matter was clearly over, He Siwei not only failed to get out, but fell deeper into it. There was a hand that wanted to kill her anytime, anywhere.
He Siwei's thoughts were brought back by Sun Xianghong's words. Just as she guessed, Sun Xianghong said that everyone should take out their personal belongings, and then she and Lin Shuifang would inspect them together, and Zhao Yongmei would take notes. This was fair to everyone.
Tang Shuang was the first to stand up and object, "If this is what you are speculating, then there is another possibility that he wants to frame us and stuffed things in our bags while we were sleeping. Then who wants to wrongly accuse us? It will be all right?"
Zhao Yongmei nodded, this time she was also on Tang Shuang's side.
Mainly because there were only the three of them last night. When that person came in, if he didn't want to kill someone, the three of them wouldn't be able to notice anyone coming in.
Sun Xianghong said, "Don't worry, everyone, we have also considered this situation. Before the inspection, everyone knows what they have, so let Zhao Yongmei record it for everyone. This way, during the inspection later, if we find something that is not on the list , then it has nothing to do with you.”
This is a solution.
There is no reason to refute. If you still disagree, there is something wrong with you.
After that, everyone went to Zhao Yongmei's place to take notes. Everyone had a lot of personal belongings. He Siwei thought she had enough things, but when she heard everyone reporting their belongings, she thought she would still be in the last place.
When it was He Siwei's turn, she first talked about all the daily necessities, and finally thought about it and talked about her set of acupuncture needles.
Lin Shuifang interrupted and asked, "Acupuncture needles?"
