14 strange things

  As soon as he heard this news, Liao Dongfeng rushed out of the room like a madman, jumped onto the local villager's donkey cart and left the barracks.

  All the way, Liao Dongfeng's face was very unsightly, and Peng Jianjun kept persuading him with a few words here and there, saying that Lin Tong had already rushed over and letting him rest assured. However, Peng Jianjun knew that Dong Juan and Liao Dongfeng grew up together in the cadres' compound since childhood, and it could be said that they were childhood sweethearts. If it weren't for Dong Juan's father being investigated for having class problems, the two would have probably gone to join the army by now. Putting aside the matter of finding an old man at present, just the emotions cultivated along the way were enough to drive Liao Dongfeng mad, not to mention that Dong Juan was in trouble now.

  About half an hour later, the two arrived at Dong Juan's production team, where dozens of militiamen were parading a man through the village, with the leading Red Guard's loudspeaker constantly shouting: "Violent molestation of female educated youth is a serious crime, punishable by severe punishment, but considering that the offender has shown a repentant attitude and admitted his mistake, the Revolutionary Committee sentenced the offender Deng Yuanping to 8 months of labor reform, and observe its effect afterwards.

  Liao Dongfeng turned his head and looked at Peng Jianjun, asking loudly: "Is he bullying Dong Juan?"

  Peng Jianjun nodded, just wanting to persuade Liao Dongfeng to calm down, but before he could speak, he saw Liao Dongfeng rush into the crowd like a madman, pinning the prisoner to the ground and punching him twice in the face. The prisoner cried out in pain, and the nearby militiamen quickly pulled Liao Dongfeng out of the crowd. The leading Red Guard also hastily advised: "Comrade, please calm down. This matter has already been investigated by the Revolutionary Committee, so please don't interfere. You must trust the organization and believe in the Revolutionary Committee, understand?"

  Think about it, can Liao Dongfeng's anger be suppressed by just a few words? He pointed at the leader of the Red Guards and scolded him for two sentences, then he wanted to rush in and beat people up. At this time, the leader quickly called for backup, more than ten militiamen pressed Liao Dongfeng to the ground, and the loudspeaker was still shouting loudly next to his ear: "Disregard organization, disregard revolutionary committee, your crimes are even heavier than his. Tie him up, take him away and parade him through the streets."

  As soon as they heard this, Peng Jianjun and Lin Tong's faces changed drastically, and they quickly came up to mediate, but that little trumpet was not having it, insisting on taking Liao Dongfeng down. He even loudly told Peng Jianjun and the others that if they wanted to continue associating with Liao Dongfeng, they would have to follow him in a parade of shame. Lin Tong was too afraid to continue arguing, but Peng Jianjun was different - after all, he had fought side by side with Liao Dongfeng underground for many days, and their bond was not ordinary. If he retreated now, wouldn't Liao Dongfeng curse him later? So, he decided to follow along as well. He didn't believe that these people could really take down both him and Liao Dongfeng - even if they were unlucky, at least they would have each other's company.

  "What are you blindly meddling with? Are you all right?" Seeing Peng Jianjun being able to take a knife for himself, Liao Dongfeng felt uneasy in his heart and shouted loudly.

  Peng Jianjun was pinned to the ground, with a hint of a smile still on his lips, and he didn't say anything until the two were taken away by the militia.

  As the procession left the village, the militiamen escorting Liao Dongfeng and Peng Jianjun were called away. At this time, a Little Trumpet Red Guard looked around and slowly approached the two men, pulling out a dagger from his waist and walking towards Peng Jianjun. Liao Dongfeng felt something was off and thought to himself that this guy was going to use violence, so he quickly shouted: "You dare to touch him, I'll bite you to death, do you believe me?"

  Xiao Laohu quickly made a "shh" gesture, then quietly explained while cutting the rope on Peng Jianjun's hands: "Big brother, can you keep your voice down? If we attract attention, I won't be able to save you. Peng Jianjun is my childhood friend, I've known him for much longer than you. Even if I were to kill you, it wouldn't be possible to kill him too, so stop worrying." Pausing for a moment, Xiao Laohu continued: "Do you guys know? That female classmate named Dong Juan, she seems a bit off these past few days. Have you heard anything? The locals say this place is quite eerie, all sorts of strange things can happen."

  "Does it matter what's important?" Liao Dongfeng couldn't help but shout out.

  Seeing Liao Dongfeng's temper flaring up again, Peng Jianjun hastily interjected: "Dongzi, calm down, let him finish speaking. When Juanzi got into trouble, it wasn't just you who was worried, we were all unhappy." After saying this, the two men locked eyes for a long time, and only after recalling their past unclear conflicts did they calm down to listen to Xiaolaba's explanation.

  The little trumpet pursed his lips, took out a water bottle and handed it to Peng Jianjun, organized his language, and slowly said: "It's a bit cold now, you guys drink some warm body. There is a terrible legend about the dancing girl that has been circulating among the local villagers. It is said that a long time ago, this place was once a stronghold under the jurisdiction of the Qin Empire, and in the center of this stronghold, there was an official brothel called Meng Li Xiao Zhu, where only people with power and influence at that time could access. The women inside were so beautiful that they could conquer cities, but later the Qin Empire declined, and when the Chu army attacked Xianyang, they also slaughtered this place. Since then, this place has never been quiet again. In the middle of the night, you can often hear women crying, or you will meet beauties who flirt with you, but these women are dressed strangely, not like modern people, so many local people avoid them. Until recently, there were several women here who also flirted with men at night, seducing them to commit crimes, and Juanzi might have been one of them."

  Upon hearing this, Liao Dongfeng suddenly stood up and asked: "Are you saying that the ghosts of those ancient women are causing trouble? They're using young women to create chaos?"

  Peng Jianjun also shook his head and denied it to the loudspeaker: "Nonsense, absolute nonsense. It's almost communist. Feudal superstition is not allowed. Besides, did you see this thing?

  "I didn't see it myself, but when interrogating Deng Yuanping, he said that Juanzi took the initiative to seduce him and he couldn't hold back so he made a mistake."

  At this point, all three of them fell silent. Half a day later, Liao Dongfeng finally looked up and asked Xiao La: "Classmate, what's your name?"

  Xiao La Ba was stunned for a moment, looked at Peng Jianjun, and only replied after Peng Jianjun nodded: "My name is Wu Liang, I'm an elementary school classmate of Jianjun's. But Dongzi, I think you have something to say, so just be straightforward!"

  At this time, Liao Dongfeng clapped his hands and said: "Good, the brothers of Junzi are my brothers. Since everyone is brothers, then I have something to ask for help from both of you." After finishing speaking, he looked at the sky and continued: "It should be about time now?"

  Peng Jianjun and Wu Liang are not fools, they know what Liao Dongfeng means now. Peng Jianjun doesn't care, but Wu Liang can't help speaking up: "Dongzi, big brother, I'm a coward, please spare me?"

  Liao Dongfeng looked at Peng Jianjun after listening, and Peng Jianjun nodded in agreement. Then he turned to Wu Liang and said: "Li Liangzi, let's put it this way! Jianjun and I will go to confront these demons and monsters head-on, shatter their sinister plots, and restore peace and tranquility here. As for you, you don't need to take action personally, just bear witness for us two. Even if we sacrifice ourselves for our faith, at least there should be someone who knows the truth, right? Alright, it's getting late, it's time for us to launch a counterattack, advancing into the enemy's gunfire!"
