Chapter 309: Chen Yechu's inner torment

After soaking her feet, Ning Xiyue got up and went out to pour water for washing her feet. When she reached the door, she felt a damp and cold wind blowing on her face. Outside the eaves, a fine drizzle was falling heavily. Where the flashlight was shone, there was only mist and water vapor, and the road was not clear.

"Wow, it's raining so hard outside."

She put down the barrel and raised her arm holding the flashlight to block the wind and rain blowing in from outside.

It was obviously unwise to carry a bucket to the gutter to pour the water in such heavy rain. Ning Xiyue had no choice but to stand under the eaves and pour out the water in the bucket so that the rain from the sky could be carried away together.

Chen Yechu followed her out with a basin in his hand. Feeling the rain on his face, he stopped and wiped the water off the clothes on his upper arm: "Hey, it's really big."

She had no choice but to follow the principle of proximity, standing still by the eaves, holding the basin and pouring the water out.

"Let's go in quickly. The wind and rain are too strong."

Ning Xiyue pulled Chen Yechu and quickly went back into the house.

Chen Yechu closed the door, and Ning Xiyue took their respective towels and wiped the rain off their faces.

As he wiped the drizzle, he sighed, "I didn't feel it when the door was closed, but as soon as I opened it, I could feel how heavy the rain was outside. It was a drizzle, heavy and fast, with strong winds."

Chen Yechu took the face washcloth Ning Xiyue handed to her, smiled and nodded: "It is indeed heavy. The ground should be soaked after the rain. I will plant some vegetables nearby in my free time tomorrow to eat later."

Ning Xiyue was also planning to do so, and continued, "I'll go plant some too. I just got some pepper and cabbage seeds today, and I plan to plant some tomatoes for eating, and some shallots and garlic for seasoning."

After Chen Yechu finished, he returned to the kang and sat down: "Yu Zhiyu said he would come to help me dig the ground, do you want to help?"

"No need. Have you forgotten that I still have my second brother to help me? He's a good laborer in our family." Ning Xiyue climbed onto the kang, opened the quilt and prepared to go to sleep.

"Yes, and your second brother too. Okay, let's go to sleep. We are all sleepy." Chen Yetu yawned, turned over, and slowly closed his eyes.

Ning Xiyue turned off the flashlight and closed her eyes.

"Boom, snap—"

Outside, a thunderous roar shook the sky and woke up the two people who had just fallen asleep.

Chen Yechu suddenly opened his eyes and patted his chest to calm down: "It scared me. The thunder was too loud. I just fell asleep and was woken up by it."

"I woke up too."

Hearing the thunder outside, Ning Xiyue got up, found a ball of cotton, wrapped the cotton in a cloth and stuffed it into her ears. The world suddenly became much quieter. Most of the thunder was blocked outside her ears, and she could only hear a little sound which did not affect her sleep.

Ning Xiyue handed the remaining cotton to Chen Yechu and then leaned back and closed her eyes again.

After a while, Ning Xiyue woke up again, this time she was woken up by Chen Yechu.

"Xiyue, why do I hear a child crying? Come and listen."

"Ah what? I didn't hear you clearly."

Ning Xiyue took the cotton out of her ears and looked at her inquiringly.

"I just heard a child crying. Listen, it was screaming loudly."

Ning Xiyue tilted her ear and listened carefully. There was a miserable cry in the thunder. After hearing it clearly, her face relaxed, shook her head and lay down: "No, it's a cat's cry. It's probably a fight between cats in the wild. Go to sleep."

"Yeah?"

Chen Yetu pricked up his ears and listened carefully again, and agreed with Ning Xiyue's words.

"It sounds like a cat's meow."

She slowly lay down and closed her eyes. The cat's meowing outside became more and more miserable. The sound seemed to be getting closer and closer, which made people feel annoyed.

The cotton in the ears can't block it.

Ning Xiyue was not affected and fell asleep immediately. After putting on the cotton pad, the sound outside became like a sleepy lullaby to her.

Chen Yetu couldn't fall asleep because of the noise outside.

After a while, I seemed to hear someone going out to take a look outside the Youth League Home.

Chen Yetu opened the door with his shoes on and looked out, and saw Yu Zhiyu, Ning Qingyuan, and Wang Jiandong coming back with flashlights to check.

Chen Yechu whispered, "What's going on?"

Yu Zhiyu ran over holding an umbrella and said a few words: "Ye Chu, it's okay. Two cats were fighting over a fish. We have chased them away. You should go in and sleep. It's getting late."

"Okay, then you should go to bed early too." Chen Yechu nodded, closed the door, went in and lay back on the kang.

She was quite envious when she saw Ning Xiyue sleeping soundly. She could fall asleep in seconds despite such a loud noise. She really couldn't do that. The noise outside made her nervous.

Chen Yetu slowly closed his eyes for the third time tonight, and sure enough, the cat's meowing outside was getting farther and farther away.

After a while, no sound could be heard at all. The only sound outside was the incessant thunder. The sudden lightning illuminated the room through the gaps in the window and the old newspapers that did not block out the light.

Chen Yetu, who had just closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

She remembered something.

During this period of time in my previous life, a big event broke out in the team one morning.

A pregnant woman died in the shed that no one in the team was willing to approach, resulting in two deaths.

I heard that the pregnant woman fell down while going to the toilet in the middle of the night, and her pregnancy started a few days early. Due to her special status, the midwives on the team didn't dare to contact her, and when someone tried to approach her, they all stayed indoors.

In desperation, the people in the shed helped deliver the baby, which resulted in heavy bleeding afterwards. The mother stopped breathing, and the child died after being trapped in her body for too long.

Which day is it?

Chen Yetu grabbed his hair with both hands and tried hard to recall things from his past life.

It seemed to rain that day too.

Suddenly, a memory flashed through my mind.

Chen Yetu stared out the window with eyes wide open.

Oh no, it seemed to be the spring rain tonight. She remembered that there was also a miserable cat cry the night before in her previous life, which disturbed her all night. She was late for work the next day, and when she walked out, she heard someone talking about this incident.

It seemed that she was the midwife that was found in the middle of the night when it was not raining.

Chen Yetu walked to the window and looked outside. The rain was still falling heavily. If it wasn't at this time, it should be a few hours away.

Chen Yetu sat back on the kang, feeling conflicted and tormented. He twisted the quilt into a ball with his hands, his brows furrowed, and he looked at a loss.

oops! What should she do now? Should she go and save people or not? What should she do? !

What should she say when she gets there? She can't just say that she knew she was going to fall and came to help her. Such a ridiculous thing would make others think she is crazy, and because of her identity, no one would believe her.

If she didn't go, two lives would be lost. Now she has a new life and thinks back to this incident. If she doesn't go to save them, she will have trouble sleeping and eating. As soon as she closes her eyes, she will think of the pale faces of the mother and son.

In their previous life, the mother and son seemed to be wrapped in a rotten mat and buried hastily in a pit dug in a mass grave on the mountain.

Later, on the eve of the college entrance examination, her family members came to look for her after their identity was cleared. Her grandmother, an old woman in her seventies, fainted on the spot when she heard the news.

Later, when her family came to relocate the grave, they heard that the old lady could not bear the blow of the death of her beloved granddaughter, and she lost her energy and died a few days later.

Including this old lady, that’s three lives.

Three lives, Chen Yetu silently thought to himself, buried his face in his hands and closed his eyes.

These are all scary scenes made up by my own imagination.

Although the three lives had nothing to do with her, she just couldn't bear to ignore them when they were in front of her.

After thinking about this, Chen Yechu opened his eyes and made up his mind to take care of this matter.

Since she was reborn and remembered it, it means that this is the fate between them.

She was helping an innocent family.

Chen Yetu quickly put on his clothes and got out of bed. He paused when he grasped the door handle, then turned to look in the direction of Ning Xiyue, who was already fast asleep with the mosquito net closed.
