Chapter 89 Get ready, the show is about to begin.
Outside the cornfield, a tall green sorghum stalk formed an impenetrable canopy, preventing even the night wind from getting in.
Zhao Tieniu led the way, followed by seven or eight dark figures, all crouching low, their feet sinking into the soft mud, barely daring to breathe.
Erhan stopped grinning foolishly, his eyes widened, and he rubbed his hands excitedly. If Li Dazui hadn't covered his mouth tightly, the idiot would have already made a sound.
We're closer now.
You don't even need to listen carefully; the noise coming from deep within the cornfield is ridiculously loud.
The heavy breathing, the crisp sound of flesh slapping against flesh, and the woman's distorted, almost breathless moans sent chills down one's spine in the silent wilderness.
Zhao Tieniu swallowed, feeling his throat go dry.
He waved behind him.
A group of people held their breath and silently peeled back the outer corn husks.
Through the crack, in the dim moonlight, the scene inside came into view in a blurry way.
Two pale, white bodies were entangled in the mud, with a large patch of crop stalks crushed around them.
Liu Chunhua was still spouting nonsense, oblivious to her own mortality.
"Good heavens..." Li Dazui removed his hand from Erhan's mouth, almost crying out, his old face instantly turning bright red. "This...this really is that girl from the Liu family?"
That voice was so familiar; it usually boomed and shouted over the brigade headquarters' loudspeaker, but now it was so arrogant it was unbearable to watch.
Zhao Tieniu felt a rush of heat to his head, and his hands were trembling.
He untied the large tin flashlight from his belt and pressed his thumb on the switch.
He turned around and glanced at the crowd.
The meaning is clear: Get ready, the show is about to begin.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes wide open, afraid of missing any detail.
This is a shameful affair for Secretary Liu's family; every time we see it, we'll miss it!
In the cornfield, Li Laizi was still uttering lewd remarks: "Chunhua, from now on you'll follow me, and I'll make sure you're this comfortable every day..."
"Click".
A soft sound.
Immediately afterwards—
"Splash—!"
More than a dozen bundles of corn husks were torn apart at the same time.
A blinding yellow beam of light suddenly pierced the darkness and shot straight at the two entangled bodies.
Then came the second and third rounds.
Several beams of light converged, illuminating this small area as bright as day!
Even the black mole on Liu Chunhua's inner thigh and the festering sores on Li Laizi's buttocks were clearly visible in the photograph.
"ah--!!!"
A piercing scream suddenly rang out, startling the roosting birds in the distant woods into a flurry of flight.
Liu Chunhua was floating in the clouds when she was suddenly dazzled by the bright light, and a chill ran from her head to her heels.
She instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes, and through her fingers, she saw a circle of dark heads.
Zhao Tieniu's wrinkled old face, Li Dazui's chin that seemed about to fall off, and Erhan's silly way of clapping his hands and jumping around...
All the images froze at this moment.
"Oh my! She really is the Party Secretary's daughter!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, is this still our haughty young lady? That pose, that look, she's even more wanton than those in the secret brothels!"
"That Li Laizi must be incredibly lucky to have managed to snag such a swan!"
"I knew it! She always sways her hips when she walks; she's definitely a repressed slut!"
His constant stream of crude jokes was like knives, each one drawing blood.
Liu Chunhua's mind went blank with a "buzz".
As if electrocuted, she shoved Li Laizi off her and frantically grabbed the torn clothes on the ground to cover herself.
But those tattered strips of cloth couldn't possibly cover up his disheveled state.
"Don't look! Don't look! Get out! All of you, get out!"
Liu Chunhua screamed hysterically, her hair a mess, her face covered in mud and tears, she was no longer the dignified daughter of the brigade secretary.
Li Laizi was so frightened that his penis went limp instantly, and he pulled up his pants, ready to burrow deeper into the cornfield.
"Trying to run away?"
Zhao Tieniu kicked the man, sending him sprawling into the mud. Several burly men rushed forward and pinned him down.
"You've gone this far with your infidelity, and you still want to run away? You'll be paraded through the streets at the brigade headquarters!"
The beam of the flashlight deliberately swayed back and forth between the two of them.
Zhao Tieniu's flashlight was even more despicable; the beam of light was fixed firmly on Liu Chunhua's exposed chest, making her mouth stretch to her ears, and she almost drooled.
The bachelors nearby, oblivious to the sight, craned their necks, practically pecking their eyes out to stick them on, as if afraid of missing any good view. One of them even started blowing a vulgar whistle.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Li Dazui stood with his hands on his hips at the edge of the field, his voice so loud it could be heard for miles around: "Liu Chunhua, didn't you always shout that Qin Rushan was a eunuch? Didn't you call Li Xianglian a slut?"
She spat and said, "I bet you're the most shameless woman around here! Instead of being a perfectly healthy young woman, you're out in the cornfield with some scoundrel in the middle of the night! Have you no shame?!"
"No! I didn't!"
Liu Chunhua was already somewhat delirious. Clutching her chest, she cried out incoherently, "It's Qin Rushan... I want to marry Qin Rushan... It was him! He forced me! Li Laizi raped me! I'm innocent! Father! Father, save me!"
Her shout of "Dad!" reminded everyone.
"Yes, yes, yes! How could we not let the Party Secretary know about something this big?"
Zhao Tieniu grinned mischievously, clearly enjoying the drama. "Erhan! Go! Go and invite the Party Secretary over! Tell him his daughter is making him proud! Have him bring the militia and the loudspeaker!"
Upon hearing about the new task, Erhan clapped his hands excitedly: "Great! Invite the Party Secretary! Let's watch the show!"
After saying that, the fool took off running towards the village, shouting in his hoarse voice, "Secretary, come quick! Your daughter is fighting with a dog! Everyone come and see! They're fighting without clothes on!"
In the quiet of the night, Erhan's voice could be heard throughout half the village.
Many families who had just gone to bed were awakened by this series of noises, and they all put on their clothes and came out to see what was going on.
Before long, a series of chaotic and angry footsteps came from afar.
The torchlight shone like a dragon.
"Where is that bastard?! Which son of a bitch dares to do such a scandalous thing in the Red Star Brigade?!"
Liu Baoguo's signature official-sounding roar pierced through the cornfield, sending shivers down people's spines.
He was wearing a Zhongshan suit, the buttons undone, and carrying a smoking pipe in his hand. He arrived aggressively with a dozen or so militiamen.
Behind him followed a number of villagers who had been woken up to watch the commotion.
Liu Baoguo was furious, but also incredibly happy.
He didn't hear what Erhan called "daughter" clearly, but he heard someone having an affair.
His immediate thought was that the affair between Li Xianglian and Qin Rushan had been exposed.
Great! I was just looking for something to catch this adulterous couple, and here they are, delivered right to my doorstep!
"Surround them! Don't let a single fly escape!" Liu Baoguo strode forward, giving orders as he went. "Tie up these two beasts who are corrupting the village! Take them to the commune first thing tomorrow morning. I want the whole county to know what these sluts look like!"
He pushed through the crowd, his face bearing the stern expression of someone who would sacrifice family for the greater good.
"Make way! Make way, everyone! The Party Secretary is here!"
The villagers who had come to watch the spectacle made way for them, each with a strange expression on their face, as if they wanted to laugh but dared not.
Without much thought, Liu Baoguo rushed to the front.
"Shameless thing, let's see where you go..."
The word "run" was stuck in his throat before he could even utter it.
Several flashlight beams shone directly on the face of the woman on the ground, who was covered in mud and barely clothed.
The woman, with disheveled hair and her face smeared with black mud, was trembling as she raised her head.
Eyes facing each other.
The pipe in Liu Baoguo's hand fell to the ground with a "thud".
The woman on the ground, her lips trembling, cried out, "Father..."
