Reborn 73 years later, he takes his mother-in-law hunting in the mountains.

Chapter 171 Your Captainship Has Ended

It was just dawn.

Xilian followed Lu Yao with trepidation.

I don't know how Lu Yao plans to treat himself.

Last time I went to his house, Tuwazi really teased me.

Could this big kid be trying to do *that* with me?

Old Ma just died. If I have sex with another man, will he come back and scare me?

Lu Yao had no idea what Xilian was thinking.

The reason he helped Xilian was not because he felt any remorse for killing her husband.

After all, Zhang Mazi deserved to die; if he didn't kill him, he would be arrested soon.

He helped Xilian because he felt that in her previous life, her mother was a widow and raised her two children alone, with few people in the village offering a helping hand.

Aunt Xilian secretly gave my mother a bowl of cornmeal and two eggs, without telling Zhang Mazi.

Regardless of her behavior, this woman has a kind heart.

We arrived at the entrance of Huang Yuejuan's clinic.

Lu Yao knocked on the door.

Huang Yuejuan had just gotten up to light the stove.

Upon seeing that it was Lu Yao, he was immediately delighted and pulled him inside:

"Why are you here so early? My period isn't over yet..."

He had only spoken halfway when he noticed that Xilian was following behind him.

He swallowed his words back.

Her face turned red all the way to her neck.

I really want to slap Lu Yao.

Why did you bring people here so early?

Xilian also realized that Huang Yuejuan and Lu Yao's relationship was definitely not ordinary.

This beautiful girl in the city rarely jokes with people.

He beamed with joy the moment he saw Lu Yao.

And what's this about her period not ending yet?

If a girl brings up menstruation with a man, then their relationship is definitely not ordinary!

Could it be that they... are having an affair?

Xilian couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

Lu Yao led her in and said to Huang Yuejuan:

"Aunt Xilian has neurasthenia and can't sleep. Sister Yuejuan, could you lend me your silver needles? I'll treat her. Please don't report this."

As the brigade's barefoot doctor, Huang Yuejuan earned work points by treating patients and prescribing medicine.

It is also a violation of discipline to treat patients privately without reporting it.

Therefore, Lu Yao borrowed her silver needles to treat Xi Lian without having to report it.

Otherwise, if it is reported, a portion of the cost will be deducted from Xilian's work points.

Although the cost wasn't much, everyone was poor back then, and every penny counted. We tried to save as much as we could.

Huang Yuejuan's skill in traditional Chinese medicine is not as good as Lu Yao's.

I became interested when I heard that he could treat neurasthenia.

Then he took out the silver needles.

Lu Yao made Xilian sit down, and then used a silver needle to pierce the Baihui acupoint on the top of her head.

This is a major acupoint on the Governing Vessel.

It can calm the mind and refresh the spirit.

Then insert the needle into the "Shen Ting" acupoint, which is located at the center of the front hairline.

This can be used in conjunction with acupuncture at the Baihui acupoint.

Then, needles were inserted into the "Yintang" acupoint on the forehead, the "Shenmen" acupoint on the wrist, and the "Sanyinjiao" acupoint on the calf.

Have Xilian sit still and leave the needles in for fifteen minutes.

Only now does Xilian realize that she was actually being pricked with silver needles at her acupoints.

I was just overthinking things.

Xi Lian was even more impressed with Lu Yao because she never expected him to know acupuncture.

Taking advantage of the moment when the needles were stopped and the acupuncture points were left open, Lu Yao passed through the clinic.

We arrived at the brigade headquarters office at the back.

After the autumn harvest, the brigade headquarters was basically left idle.

The gate is locked from the outside, and it will be opened again next spring when it's time for spring plowing.

The team leader, accountant, and women's director don't have to go to work; it's a complete off-season for farming.

Lu Yao walked in and saw that the place was deserted.

The table was covered in dust, but the portrait of the great man on the wall was clean.

I know that Huang Yuejuan often comes over to wipe it.

At that time, the people's reverence for the great man was heartfelt.

A person who broke through thousands of years of feudal rule and saved the people from suffering is indeed worthy of respect.

Even later, people still fondly remembered this great figure.

"What are you doing?"

Huang Yuejuan followed.

Lu Yao smiled:

"I've come to experience the atmosphere beforehand."

Lu Yao didn't say much, but what he really wanted was to remove Ding Dahu from his position as captain.

He is too young to become the commune director.

However, by controlling Yang Shouye, one can take Ding Dahu's place.

This way, we can do some things legitimately without being constrained.

Tell Huang Yuejuan that I'll be here for a meeting soon and ask her to help light the stove in the back room to warm the house.

Go back to the front and take the needle off Xilian.

Tell her she can soak her feet in hot water at night and then massage a few acupoints, which will make her feel much better.

Xilian left with great gratitude.

Before leaving, he glanced at Huang Yuejuan with envy one last time.

I wondered if the two of them would do anything inappropriate after I left.

With a woman's intuition, she could tell that Huang Yuejuan liked Lu Yao.

Its daybreak.

Lu Yao had Gou Shengzi ride Yang Shouye's bicycle to the commune and tell Zhang Zongshan to send him a group of militiamen.

Then return the car to Yang Shouye, who will come to Jiapigou Brigade today.

Lu Yao made arrangements in a flurry of activity.

After Yang Shouye finished his meeting, he still needed to go into the mountains to find the bodies of the Wang brothers.

After making arrangements for Gou Shengzi and Lu Yao, Lu Yao went home.

Ding Mei felt a little relieved when Lu Yao told her that she really hadn't fought with Ding Dahu.

Not long after dinner, Gou Shengzi returned:

"Tuwazi, Zhang Zongshan has arrived with a group of members."

Although Zhang Zongshan is now the militia company commander, he greatly admires Lu Yao's abilities.

So when Lu Yao said he had something to do, he personally led the team over.

A group of eight militiamen, fully armed, some on bicycles and some on horseback, waited at Lu Yao's doorstep.

One of the tall and burly men was Liu Dameng, who was in the first group and had come along as well.

Lu Yao asked Gou Shengzi Yang Shouye if he had arrived, and he said that he had come along and gone to Ding Dahu's house.

Lu Yao waved his hand and said to Zhang Zongshan and the others:

"Let's go, my house can't fit so many people, let's go to the brigade headquarters and wait."

Lu Yao not only brought his pistol, but also had the militiamen bring a bow and arrow he had made.

In the mountains, sometimes it's more convenient to hunt with a bow and arrow than with a gun.

They can launch a surprise attack without anyone noticing.

Back at the brigade headquarters, Huang Yuejuan had already lit the stove inside.

The brigade headquarters has a conference room, about the size of a classroom.

It can hold forty or fifty people.

Lu Yao told everyone to find chairs and sit down, waiting for Yang Shouye and Ding Dahu to arrive.

……

After Lu Yao left, Ding Dahu was still angry at home.

I feel like I've had such bad luck lately.

Nothing went right.

He also told Xie Chunfang to cook for him and prepare to drink.

What can relieve my worries? Only strong liquor.

I just drank about two and a half ounces.

Yang Shouye arrived.

Ding Dahu quickly got up to greet him.

I feel like Yang Shouye is the only family member I have left in the entire Shuiling Commune.

He was abandoned by everyone in the village, and they all talked about him behind his back.

All of this was thanks to Lu Yao.

After this kid rose to prominence, I lost my position as the number one ruthless person in Jiapigou.

Even though I didn't hear it with my own ears, I felt like everyone was laughing at me.

Only Yang Shouye remained on his side, unanimously despising Lu Yao.

"Director Yang, why are you here so early?"

Yang Shouye also looked worried, but he was unwilling to show weakness in front of Ding Dahu.

As soon as I entered, my belly started to bulge. I glanced at the dining table on the kang (heated brick bed):

"Big Tiger, you've got some free time, getting up early to drink?"

"Isn't it because I'm so worried? I miss my son!"

"Alright, the organization has taken that into consideration. You've been working very hard lately. You've been the team leader for so long, it's time for you to take a break, isn't it?"

"Huh? Director, what do you mean?"

Ding Dahu was taken aback.
