In the year 1977, Zhan Nanhui, a former Deputy Director of the National Security Bureau, was undercover as a “re-educated” criminal doing manual labor in the countryside. His mission was compro...
Zhan Nanhui was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted and held the towel in front of him.
Yi Anan stared at Zhan Nanhui in a daze. It was him, the one who jumped into the river to save her just now?
The moment she fell into the river, she felt as if she had a telepathic connection with her daughter from her previous life, and it seemed that they were seeing the same person.
But that's impossible. In the previous life, the man who saved Xiao Ni was Tang A'ren!
But Tang Aren said he couldn't swim...
Zhan Nanhui saw the woman staring at him motionlessly, and he couldn't help but roll his throat and swallow his saliva.
"You..." Zhan Nanhui was about to speak when the woman suddenly sat up from the bed. She pulled the quilt, walked in front of Zhan Nanhui, stretched out her hand and touched the man's handsome face.
Zhan Nanhui stared at the woman in a daze, not knowing what she meant.
"If you see a child falling into the water in the village, will you save him?" Yi Anan asked, staring at Zhan Nanhui.
Zhan Nanhui was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Yi Anan asked this.
"I used to rescue a few children from the river every year!" Zhan Nanhui said in a low voice.
Yeah? But why had she never heard of it?
"You naturally don't know, because those people are afraid of being associated with a bad guy like me!" Zhan Nanhui sneered.
Yi Anan sighed quietly in her heart. In her previous life, could it be that Zhan Nanhui saved Xiaoni, and that he was heartbroken by the villagers' actions, so he gave her to Tang A'ren who happened to pass by?
It’s a pity that she can no longer find out about her past life.
"Go back to bed quickly, I...I need to put on my clothes!" Zhan Nanhui couldn't help but said coldly when he saw Yi Anan still standing there.
This woman doesn't mind the cold even though she's wrapped in a quilt, but if she does mind the cold, what can a towel cover?
Yi Anan was shocked to realize that she was not wearing any clothes under the quilt. She quickly hugged the quilt and went back to the kang. When she looked up, she saw the man running out with his clothes pulled on, his long legs dangling.
Yi Anan suddenly laughed. It was a good thing that she didn’t die!
Yi Anan took a good sleep, worked up a sweat, and felt relaxed.
Sitting up and looking at the burning stove, Yi Anan quickly put on her clothes and got off the kang.
The stove is with her, so what should Zhan Nanhui use?
Outside the shack, Zhan Nanhui was chopping wood. His hair was still wet, and his short black hair stood up, as stubborn as his eyes.
The man rolled up his sleeves, the veins on his dark arms were faintly visible, and his face was expressionless.
"You'll catch a cold if you keep doing this, come inside!" Yi Anan said, standing at the door of the shack.
Zhan Nanhui didn't even raise his head: "Don't worry, I'm in good health!"
Yi Anan stepped forward and pulled the man into the house without saying a word.
Zhan Nanhui had to put down the axe in his hand and was pulled in by the woman.
Pressing the man onto the kang, Yi Anan took a clean towel and wiped the man's hair.
"Why haven't you done it yet?" Yi Anan asked in a low voice. She remembered that she had slept for a while.
"I took a hot bath." said Zhan Nanhui.
Yi Anan then felt relieved and continued to wipe the man's hair.
Zhan Nanhui tried to refuse several times, but was always pulled away by the woman.
Suddenly, the woman stopped, dropped the towel and ran out.
Zhan Nanhui quickly chased after him: "What are you doing?"
"My money and your watch!" Yi Anan shouted.
When she went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a watch, she took off Zhan Nanhui's watch and put it in the cloth bag she carried with her, and when she hit Yan Bao, she dropped the cloth bag on the ground.
Zhan Nanhui also followed.
Standing at the place where she fell into the water, Yi Anan was in a trance again.
The place where she fell into the water was actually the same place where her daughter fell into the water in her previous life!
"Have you found it?" Zhan Nanhui caught up and asked.
Yi Anan then came to her senses and started looking for it, but she couldn't find it.
"Yan Xiaobao, maybe Yan Xiaobao took it away!" Yi Anan said in a deep voice.
Zhan Nanhui shook his head: "It's not him!"
"Why are you so sure?" Yi Anan was puzzled.
Zhan Nanhui didn't say anything, but continued to search along the river bank. However, it was impossible to see clearly in the dark night, and the two searched for a long time but still couldn't find it.
"Come back early tomorrow morning!" Zhan Nanhui whispered.
Yi Anan also felt a little guilty. The fifty yuan was not a big deal, as she could earn money again if she lost it. But the watch was for the Zhan family's daughter-in-law. Moreover, Zhan Nanhui would have an exam in a few days, so he also needed the watch.
"I'm sorry..." Yi Anan said in a low voice.
Zhan Nanhui said nothing and turned and left.
Yi Anan pouted in grievance and followed behind helplessly.
That night, Zhan Nanhui did not go to the pigpen, but stayed with Yi An'an. The next morning, as soon as it was light, he went out to look for Yi An'an's cloth bag, but he couldn't find it after searching all over the river.
Yi Anan got up and was about to go out to look for him when she saw Zhan Nanhui coming back with a sullen face.
"Have you found it?" Yi Anan asked quickly. Although she had already guessed the answer by seeing that he had an empty mind, she still couldn't help asking.
Zhan Nanhui shook his head: "It must have been taken away by the villagers!"
Yi Anan looked guilty: "I'll go to the village and ask later."
"Do you think that based on the character of the people in Yanjia Village, they will admit it if we take it?" Zhan Nanhui said in a calm voice.
Yi Anan frowned. There was still fifty yuan in the cloth bag, which was a huge sum of money in the 1970s. The person who picked it up would definitely not admit it!
"That has to be found!" Yi Anan said, "Go and review well, and leave the task of finding the watch to me!"
Zhan Nanhui whispered, "Forget it if you can't find it. Don't waste time."
"We will definitely find it!" said Yi Anan.
Zhan Nanhui said nothing more and turned and left.
Yi Anan found a notebook and a pen, wrote a notice looking for a watch, marked the price at 100 yuan, and then went to the village to post it.
"What watch is worth a hundred dollars?"
"The key is, do you have a hundred dollars to give to them?"
"that is!"
…
The villagers gathered around the watch and discussed what was happening.
Yi Anan stood in front of the revelation and said in a deep voice: "If you want to bring the certificate, I won't ask any more questions and I will take care of the redemption certificate!"
"Really rich?"
"It's true!" Yi Anan nodded with certainty.
"Yan Xiaobao, didn't you come back from the river yesterday evening? Did you see this watch?" At this moment, someone suddenly turned around and shouted.
Yi Anan looked up and saw Yan Baobao with his head wrapped, leaning on a cane, standing not far away, staring at Yi Anan coldly.
"I didn't see it!" Yan Xiaobao shouted in a deep voice.
"Yan Xiaobao, were you beaten up when you climbed over that widow's door last night?" someone asked jokingly at this moment.
Yan Xiaobao snorted coldly, glared at Yi Anan fiercely, then turned and left.
"You may not know this yet, but last night Yan Xiaobao went out to the toilet and his toilet collapsed, nearly crushing him to death. Oh, it was such a tragic situation!" someone said in a low voice.
