C277 (1/2)
It was one thing to talk about the disappearance of the Red Guards, since they were too casual, but when some young people from outside the city came together, they would form a powerful team. Then, someone would have to give a suggestion, and they would immediately gather a lot of power! Furthermore, no one dared to mess with such an influential power! If there were any internal conflicts, they would immediately disperse, as if they had never been gathered before!
But the militia and the police were different!
Putting aside the fact that the police officers were still on duty, even the militia had been recorded as well. If something were to happen to a particular militia, the higher ups would even send people to investigate the cause of death! It was a common occurrence in those days when all imperialist feudalism was at stake and all counter-revolutionary ideas were prevented from coming back to life.
Now that he lost so many people, it would be hard for Li Kangsheng not to have a headache!
To say that it was small was to say that irresponsibility had caused losses to the socialist construction. To say that it was big was to say that the socialist construction was a lifelong sinner! If there was another good guy who set the tide, he might even become a spy that was planted among the masses by a counterrevolutionary faction!
In that case, not only would Li Kangsheng suffer, even his relatives and friends of the nine families would be interrogated and tortured!
This was no small matter! On the third day after those militia and police officers entered the mountain, Li Kangsheng brought the remaining police officers to gather all the remaining labor left in the production team.
However, before they left the village, the village branch came back from the ground and stopped the team at the village entrance.
The old branch family in the village came from a poor family. Although they had three daughters, only Li Jianyi was working in the police station, so Li Kangsheng turned a blind eye to them and let them go.
After talking to his son for a while, the old man let his son leave the village with a large group of people.
On the way up the mountain, Li Kangsheng also curiously asked Li Jianye what the old branch books had told him.
But Li Jianyi's answer made Li Kangsheng feel somewhat baffled.
Li Jianyi said that when his father wanted him to enter the mountain, he had to be careful of everything. If he encountered something that could not be resisted by a large group of people, he would immediately fall to the ground and play dead. No matter what he heard, he must not open his eyes until he could not hear anything.
This was a life-saving measure that an old father had taught his child. Although it was a bit cowardly, it was still better than losing his life. Furthermore, the Old Ancestor only had this one son. Thus, the way he said it was reasonable, no matter how much others despised him.
But when Li Kangsheng heard this, he couldn't help but think.
Before, when so many Red Guards went missing, it was still acceptable. But after that, when so many militia and police officers went missing, something fishy happened.
Although he had just arrived at the Ganling Village not long ago, Li Kangsheng had heard quite a few stories about the ghost soldiers on the mountain.
Although there were rumours among the elders and ancestors of this place, if they encountered any of the ghost soldiers on the Liang Mountain or heard any strange noises, they would immediately turn around. Otherwise, their lives would be in danger. But Li Kangsheng had never heard of playing dead immediately when he was in danger, and no matter what sounds he heard, he could not open his eyes! If he met a wild beast, wouldn't that be equivalent to courting death?
