Looking up at the stars in 1946

Chapter 70

When Han Yan saw Qi Si, his eyes were red, and tears almost fell down.Half of Qi Si's face was swollen from the beating, and the corners of his mouth were torn. Wearing a torn clothes, he walked towards him slowly.

"Why are you here?" Qi Si said hoarsely, "Didn't I tell you to leave me alone?"

Han Yan lowered his head and wiped his tears, handed the bundle in his hand to Qi Si, and said, "I'll send you some clothes to change."

Qi Si took the burden and said, "Okay, let's go."

Han Yan wanted to say "yes", but his throat felt like a lump of cotton, and he couldn't speak for a long time.The more urgent Qi Si urged, the more Han Yan couldn't leave.Qi Si looked around and saw that the militiamen were quite far away, so he comforted Han Yan and said, "I'll be fine, at most I'll suffer a little bit, you go back first. If you stay any longer, someone will gossip again."

It took Han Yan a while to swallow his tears back, nodded, leaned up to Qi Si, and whispered, "Fourth Master, bear with me, I've already found someone."

Qi Si frowned, thinking that Feng Xin himself was in danger, who else could you go to.

Han Yan said: "It's the director of the farmers' association, Li Dahai. He used to carry jobs in the compound back then."

"Will he agree to you so easily?" Qi Si doubted, "Did you give him money?"

Han Yan nodded.

"How much did you give?"

"……all."

"Are you stupid!" Qi Si couldn't help cursing, "If you get tricked, what will you do in the future?"

Han Yan couldn't lift his head from Qi Si's words, and it took him a long time to say: "Without you, I don't know what to do in the future."

"Fuck, are you still a man!" Qi Si cursed again, one couldn't help but hugged him into his arms.Fuck, whoever wants to say let who say!

"Are you two tired enough? The two old masters are stickier than women." The guard said slyly.

Qi Si didn't bother to give him a look, and quickly kissed Han Yan on the forehead, and then let him go.

"Let's go." Qi Si began to chase people away again, but his tone was much gentler, "I'm still waiting for you to fish me out."

Han Yan nodded vigorously, and left reluctantly.

Early the next morning, Han Yan took Li Dahai to dig money.When the bags of oceans and gold bars were dug out, Li Dahai's eyes lit up and his saliva flowed down.

Looking at his greedy look, Han Yan felt a little uncertain. There was still a hole to be dug, but he quietly concealed it.What if Qi Si was really fished out?There are more places to spend money.It is better to keep a little bit.Han Yan thought to himself.

Two people, each walking back with several bags.

"Director, where do you want to put this money? I'll send it there for you." Han Yan said.

"Send it to the peasant association." Li Dahai said.

Han Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "There are so many people over there, I'm afraid..."

"It's okay," Li Dahai vowed, "I have the final say on the affairs of the peasant association, no one dares to talk too much."

Only then did Han Yan feel relieved to follow Li Dahai to the Qi family compound.As soon as the bag was put on the ground, several people in military uniforms suddenly entered the door, including Han Ye.As soon as the two brothers met, their expressions suddenly became solemn.

Han Yan was a little flustered, and his hands gripped the bag tightly.I don't know what Li Dahai means.

Li Dahai smiled "haha", pointed at Han Yan and said to the people who came in: "Han Yan has made a great contribution today, look, these silver dollars and gold bars that Qi Yixiu buried are all taken by him to dig .” As he spoke, he untied the rope tied to the bag, revealing the white silver coins inside.

Han Yan fell into an ice cave for a while, and he didn't speak for a long time, staring at Li Dahai with both eyes:

"Director Li, what do you mean?"

"How much more can it mean? Isn't Director Li just praising you?" a person next to him continued.

Han Yan was trembling with anger, Han Ye saw that his brother's eyes were a little wrong, afraid that he would do something irreversible, so he rushed over to hold his hand, and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't act recklessly, I can't protect you if something happens to you."

Han Yan shook off his younger brother's hand, and said coldly, "You don't need to worry about whether I live or die." After speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Han Ye to reply.Fearing that something might happen to his brother, Han Ye hurriedly chased him out.

As soon as the Han brothers left, Li Dahai's complexion darkened, he snorted, and said, "What the hell, do you really think you are a young master? Don't you just warm people's beds?" Then he said: "That Han It's true Ye, you said that his brother is so devoted to that surname Qi that you can just let him go and lock them up together? Why do you want to protect him? I'm ashamed to see it."

The few remaining people echoed while listening, just like calling a fart bug. When someone farts, it will scream.

"By the way, have the orders from the county party committee been issued yet?"

"It has been issued, and the county party committee said that it can be executed by shooting."

Li Dahai nodded and said, "I'm afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, so I'll choose tonight. I'll drag them to Huangnihezi and kill them all. I'll notify someone to collect the corpses there in two days."

The militia captain went with orders.

In the evening, for the first time, the guards did not bring two dry buns, but a bowl of white rice for each person, plus a serving of stewed cabbage vermicelli.Everyone was terrified and had a bad premonition in their hearts.I'm afraid this will be the last meal.

Someone was eating and eating, and suddenly cried out loudly. He cried so hard that he still had an 80-year-old mother to support, so how would his mother live if he died like this?As soon as he said that, it immediately aroused other people's concerns, and there were loud sobs in the cell for a while.

The guard knocked on the cell door and said loudly: "Cry fart, cry, stay here if you don't eat, don't disturb others to eat." Then everyone began to eat quietly.

Although Qi Si didn't cry with him, he also thought of the old and young at home.Qi Jialin has already become the mother of two children, and her son-in-law is not a landlord, so she doesn’t need to worry; Qi Jialang has Lu Fengniang watching, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law are still alive. His mother has always been shrewd. Over the years, if there is no small money, he should have saved a lot of money, so there is no need to worry.If Li Xiaohua could quit gambling and smoking, a few gold coins would be enough for her next life.Alas, after all, it was Han Yan who worried him the most.Qi Si sighed, if he had known it would be like this, he would not have driven Xiao Yuan away at the beginning, it is always good to have someone who knows the cold and the hot by his side.

After Qi Si's group finished their meal, the guards yelled at them to put on their clothes and come out to line up.Everyone packed their things in silence.Qi Si stopped an acquaintance, and handed him a piece of clothing, which was specially sent to him by Han Yan two days ago.

Holding the clean and tidy gown, the man was both surprised and happy, and said, "Fourth Master, this dress is pretty good, why don't you wear it?"

"I like this one." Qi Si said lightly.

The man looked at the tattered clothes on Qi Si's body, and muttered, "What a weirdo."

The flames lit up, and shadowy figures lined up in front of the cell door.

More than a dozen people were tied up in a string like cattle and led out.

There is no moon tonight, and the bright stars cover the dark blue sky, like a net decorated with gems, covering the entire earth.The night was gentle, and the cool breeze was blowing gently, bringing an itchy feeling to people's faces.

The village is very quiet, no matter if it is a thatched cottage or a tile-roofed house, there is little light through it, and people are fast asleep.

A group of people were led out of the village, getting farther and farther away from the village.After walking for an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden sound of rushing water in the distance.The river closest to Yuanmaotun—Huangnihezi has arrived.

Qi Si and his party were driven to a river beach.Several militiamen stuck their torches by the river.The fire shone on the water, and Huangnihezi seemed to be on fire.

A dozen people were surrounded by eight torches on the left and right, and became the most conspicuous living targets.

Qi Si saw someone raising a gun.

With a few clicks, the gun was loaded.

With a hissing sound, the bullets rained down on the front, back, left, and right sides of them, and the mud kicked up by the bullets splashed on Qi Si's head, face, and body.

A dozen people fell down one by one as if their bones had softened in an instant.

Qi Si fell to the ground on his back, his hands were still tied in front of his body, his spine was pressed on another person's feet, his neck was hanging in the air, and the bangs on his forehead were dangling.His dirty coat was soaked in red blood, some of his own and others'. A bullet went in from just below his collarbone, and gurgling blood flowed out of the bullet hole. , from the skirt to the heart, where the word "Yan" was thinly embroidered with gold thread.
