Back to 1984: I built a chicken farm on a barren mountain.

Wu Jiajun was the one who came to meet Feng Jianguo.

On the day Wu Jiajun and Chen Wenfeng said goodbye, Chen Wenfeng saw Feng Jianguo's back and felt it was familiar, while Wu Jiajun guessed that the person was his good friend Feng Jianguo.

Because the two of them are too familiar with each other.

Wu Jiajun guessed that Feng Jianguo was dressed like this because he must have a secret interview mission, and the danger level was not low.

He then found Feng Jianguo's colleague. Feng Jianguo's colleague was initially reluctant to speak, but under Wu Jiajun's repeated questioning, he finally revealed the truth.

Regarding the illegal coal mines abducting homeless people, Feng Jianguo and his comrades had already reported it to the police, but they lacked evidence. That's why Feng Jianguo decided to use himself as bait and try to find evidence.

But the operation was too dangerous, and his colleagues were worried about him, but Feng Jianguo insisted, and in the end, the plan was made.

Feng Jianguo and his colleagues agreed that after he arrived at the coal mine, he would try to escape within five days, regardless of whether he obtained any evidence. If he could not escape within five days, they would call the police to rescue him.

From the day Feng Jianguo disappeared at the train station, his colleagues began keeping track.

After learning about Feng Jianguo's actions, Wu Jiajun waited for him at the agreed location every day.

It's raining heavily tonight, and Wu Jiajun's intuition tells him that Feng Jianguo might escape tonight.

Braving the heavy rain, Wu Jiajun waited until late at night until he saw someone going into the water on the other side of the river, and the light of a flashlight was flashing on the other side.

Using the flash of lightning, Wu Jiajun confirmed that the thin man was indeed Feng Jianguo.

But Wu Jiajun dared not make a sound, fearing that he would alert the people chasing Feng Jianguo on the other side. So he patiently waited in the grass on the shore until Feng Jianguo came ashore.

Feng Jianguo gripped his pocket tightly, reached it towards Wu Jiajun, and said:

"I have fulfilled my mission this time."

After saying that, everything went black and he fainted.

......

The rainy night in Chenjiazhuang was also a sleepless night.

After returning to Chenjiazhuang from the county town, Chen Wenfeng led Lao Suntou, Zhou Zhiming, Niu Da and Niu Er to reinforce the chicken coop and build a simple chicken house. Instead of using conventional asbestos tiles for the roof, Chen Wenfeng used cement gray tiles for safety and sturdiness.

Although gray tiles are more expensive, they are more durable due to the strong winds and large temperature differences in the mountains.

Besides busy upgrading the chicken coop, Chen Wenfeng also found Master Han and made up an excuse to let Niu Er stay at Master Han's small barbershop every day.

Master Han's barbershop was just a small house. He opened very late and closed very early every day.

Since Chen Wenfeng asked to borrow it, he agreed. This barbershop was opposite Chen Shuyan's Swallow Hair Salon, and Niu Er's task was to keep an eye on all suspicious people who went to get haircuts.

In her past life, Chen Shuyan's face was slashed with a knife on a rainy night, leaving a noticeable scar.

In the period that followed, the supply and marketing cooperative ran out of pesticides, and several wives in Chenjiazhuang drank pesticides. Two of the wives could not be saved.

For a time, people were talking about it.

In his previous life, Chen Wenfeng had only vaguely heard about this matter, but only now did he deduce that someone was committing murder.

Chen Wenfeng couldn't remember which wife had drunk the pesticide, and he couldn't confirm with anyone that this hadn't happened yet.

But no matter what, he must prevent this from happening in this lifetime.

However, since this matter is related to rebirth, it would be inconceivable to tell anyone. Chen Wenfeng couldn't tell others, and besides, if he did, it would alert the enemy.

After the chicken coop was finished, Chen Wenfeng made new arrangements. In addition to Niu Er looking after Chen Shuyan, Zhou Zhiming and Niu Da were also sent to the village.

Chen Wenfeng drew a map of Chenjiazhuang on paper and chose three locations, which were to be guarded by Zhou Zhiming, Niu Da, and himself, respectively.

Chen Wenfeng was at the east entrance of the village, Zhou Zhiming at the west entrance, Niu Da at the north entrance, and Yanzi Barber Shop was conveniently located at the south entrance, thus creating a layout that covered all four cardinal directions.

To enable communication between the various locations, each of them carried firecrackers. Whenever something went wrong, they would light the firecrackers and everyone would head in the corresponding direction to provide support.

They sleep during the day and get up at night. Old Sun laughed at them, saying they had the same routine as the weasels that steal chickens.

They stayed up for several nights like this until July 2nd.

That day, Chen Shuyan was tidying up the hair at the barbershop and didn't rush home. As night deepened and a heavy rain began to fall, she figured that since she wasn't far from home, she would go back once the rain stopped.

But once the rain started, it just wouldn't stop.

Chen Shuyan sat on a chair in the shop, lost in thought. After a while, the rain outside gradually subsided, so she packed up her things, grabbed her umbrella, and prepared to go home.

As she closed the door, she sensed someone behind her. Clutching the wooden handle of her umbrella, she turned on her flashlight and shone it around, but there was no one there.

That's strange, I think someone just walked past me.

Little did she know that a man was hiding behind a haystack not far from her, staring at her like a hungry wolf.

Chen Shuyan held an umbrella and a flashlight, walking slowly along the muddy road.

Behind her, the figure followed closely, ready to strike at any moment.

As Chen Shuyan passed through a dead end, the figure suddenly pounced on her, pinned her against the wall, held a knife to her neck, and said:

"Don't scream, don't move, or I'll kill you!"

Chen Shuyan knew she was in trouble, but she wasn't the delicate type and certainly wouldn't just sit and wait to die. She quickly said:

"Big brother, I'll obey, please put the knife down."

"Just be obedient, little wench, hehe..."

The man was unusually excited. Seeing that the other party was obedient, he put away his knife and rudely snatched the umbrella from Chen Shuyan's hand and threw it on the ground.

Just as the man was about to undress Chen Shuyan, Chen Shuyan suddenly rammed her head against him and then hurled a flashlight at him.

The man was struck, but did not fall down. He cursed viciously:

"Damn it, they actually tried to ambush me! I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget!"

After saying that, he pushed Chen Shuyan to the ground. Chen Shuyan panicked and struggled desperately.

The man held Chen Shuyan down with one hand and reached for a knife with the other. As a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, the knife flashed white, and Chen Shuyan closed her eyes in fright.

Just then, a loud "bang" was heard, and Niu Er used a club to smash the man down hard.

He shouted:

"Sister Yanzi, are you alright?"

Upon seeing that it was Niu Er, Chen Shuyan immediately relaxed and collapsed to the ground.

Seeing that Chen Shuyan was quite frightened, Niu Er pulled her up and said:

"Sister Yanzi, hurry back. I'll handle this person."

Chen Shuyan agreed, and with a flashlight in hand, she ran home, ignoring the mud and water everywhere.

Seeing the man lying on the ground, Niu Er felt a great sense of accomplishment. He calmly took out his firecracker, ready to light it, but after searching his pockets for a long time, he couldn't find the box of matches. Perhaps he had left it at the barbershop.

While Niu Er was focused on finding matches, the man he had knocked down slowly got up, grabbed a knife, and lunged at Niu Er...
