Chapter 3 Sin in the Reeds AbHW (jhssd)

“Help! Help… wuwuwuwu…”

A sharp scream came from the reeds beside the Hongshui River, and then turned into a whimper.

There was a mad frenzy of activity in the reeds.

Qin Qing and her daughter had their mouths covered. Although Wang Mazi was afraid, he had no choice but to listen to Chen Guangfa.

He gritted his teeth and dragged Tang Min into the reed marsh.

Qin Qing's scalp was pulled so hard that it hurt. Chen Guangfa's fierce face came closer and his rough hands suddenly grabbed her neck.

She stretched out her hand with all her strength, desperately trying to push Chen Guangfa away.

The intense suffocation made her eyes begin to feel dizzy...

With a bang!

A carrying pole suddenly hit Chen Guangfa's head from behind, and Chen Guangfa screamed and fell to the ground with his head covered.

When Wang Mazi turned his head, he saw a man wearing a green military coat. He was 1.86 meters tall and it was difficult to ignore him.

He was wearing a black Lei Feng cap, which was almost covered by his beard.

The man took a step back with the carrying pole in his hand. His legs were one higher than the other, indicating that he was lame.

"Fang Zhiwei, you cripple! How dare you meddle in our village's affairs? Get out of here!"

Wang Mazi stood up and cursed. Comparing the two men's figures, he looked like a little troublemaker.

Chen Guangfa spread his hands, which were covered in blood.

The carrying pole hit him and broke the back of his head.

"Don't think you can act arrogant just because you're a retired soldier. You violated military discipline and got kicked out, and when you came back you pissed your dad off. You, a poor bastard, dare to stand in my way? Get out!"

Chen Guangfa was extremely arrogant and he really didn't take this poor and rough guy seriously.

"Let them go."

Fang Zhiwei said in a deep voice, his voice was deep and steady, and his eyes were cold and bleak.

"A cripple trying to be a hero!"

Chen Guangfa winked at Wang Mazi.

Wang Mazi took out a switchblade from his waist, approached Fang Zhiwei with a smile, and thrust the knife forward.

Fang Zhiwei clamped Wang Mazi's arm with one hand, exerted a little force, and a crisp sound of bone breaking was heard.

Accompanied by Wang Mazi's screams, the switchblade fell powerlessly to the ground.

Chen Guangfa's eyes changed, and he secretly picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it hard at Fang Zhiwei's head.

Fang Zhiwei dodged, grabbed Chen Guangfa's collar from behind, and threw him away.

BANG!!!

In a blink of an eye, Chen Guangfa fell on his buttocks into the dung bucket carried by Fang Zhiwei.

At the fourth hour, Chen Guangfa was stinking so much that Wang Mazi even pinched his nose.

Fang Zhiwei picked up the switchblade on the ground and swung it casually. He was full of murderous intent and approached the two step by step.

Wang Mazi was so scared that he got up and ran away.

"Damn, you useless piece of shit!"

Chen Guang cursed angrily, quickly got up, and ran away without looking back.

"Qing'er, are you okay? Are you okay?"

Tang Min hugged Qin Qing in shock, and Qin Qing's tears instantly burst out.

"Mother!"

At this moment, Qin Qing couldn't utter a complete sentence.

After surviving the disaster, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Suddenly a warm feeling came over her. When Qin Qing looked up, she saw Fang Zhiwei taking off his military coat and covering the two of them with it.

He was wearing a thin white shirt with patches all over it.

"Fang Zhiwei, thank you! I will definitely repay you for saving my life today!"

"Xiao Fang, thank you so much."

Tang Min was so grateful that she wanted to kowtow to Fang Zhiwei.

Fang Zhiwei quickly helped her up, saying, "Soldiers are supposed to protect the people."

Qin Qing wanted to return the military coat to Fang Zhiwei, but he pushed it back.

"You need it more than I do."

Fang Zhiwei in front of her was blocked by his beard, but Qin Qing could still see his black eyes that were as bright as stars, which made her feel at ease.

"Thank you!"

Qin Qing put the military coat on Tang Min's wrist. Tang Min tried to push it away, but she forced it on.

"Mom, if you don't wear it, I'll give it back to Fang Zhiwei and we'll both freeze!"

Seeing Qin Qing's insistence, Tang Min had no choice but to put it on.

When she lowered her head, she saw that Qin Qing's feet had been cut badly by the stones and were covered with wounds.

The blood was mixed with sand and turned black.

"You kid, why did you run out without shoes..."

Tang Min has always been weak in character. When she saw her daughter suffering like this, tears burst out instantly.

"Mom, I'm fine! It's just a minor injury and it will heal soon. You don't have to worry." Qin Qing comforted.

With a hissing sound...

A tearing sound was heard. Qin Qing looked up and saw Fang Zhiwei tearing off the two sleeves of his shirt.

The exposed arms are strong and powerful, with perfect muscle lines, and one can tell at a glance that they contain tremendous strength.

Fang Zhiwei suddenly squatted down and said in a deep voice, "It might be a little painful, just bear with it."

He took out a military water bottle from his trouser pocket and used the water to clean Qin Qing's injured feet.

Then he tore his sleeves into strips and carefully bandaged Qin Qing's feet.

His actions seemed rough, but he was very gentle and did not hurt Qin Qing at all.

"Which village are you from?"

Fang Zhiwei looked up at Qin Qing. They were so close that Qin Qing could even feel the white breath he exhaled.

"I... am from Hedong Village."

His gaze was direct, and it made Qin Qing's face flush.

"I'll take you back."

Fang Zhiwei picked up Qin Qing and carried her sideways.

In this princess hug, she could even feel the hot temperature coming from his arms.

“No… no need.”

Qin Qing wanted to refuse awkwardly, but Tang Min felt sorry for her feet and quickly said.

"Xiao Fang, thank you for your help."

Fang Zhiwei walked forward holding Qin Qing, and the two were very close to each other.

Qin Qing leaned in Fang Zhiwei's arms and could even hear his heartbeat in her ears.

She didn't say anything, just listened silently. After listening for a long time, she suddenly discovered something.

His heartbeat...seems a little fast?

Qin Qing looked up at Fang Zhiwei in confusion. Fang Zhiwei looked back at her with calm eyes.

Is she overthinking this?!

Tang Min followed behind the two of them and watched Fang Zhiwei walk with a limp, but he always held Qin Qing carefully.

She suddenly felt that it would not be a bad idea for her daughter to marry a man like this.

As they were almost at Hedong Village, Fang Zhiwei let Qin Qing down.

"Hedong Village is just ahead. Let's walk back together."

After all, he was a grown man, and he didn't know how much criticism he would bring to Qin Qing if he carried her into the village.

Qin Qing also understood Fang Zhiwei's thoughts and felt even more grateful.

"Thank you for taking me back. Where is your home? I'll send you this military coat someday."

"I'm in Dagang Village. It's freezing cold. You should go back quickly."

Fang Zhiwei suddenly reached out and touched Qin Qing's head.

Qin Qing was stunned and took a step back instinctively.

Fang Zhiwei withdrew his hand, but found a patch of weeds in his palm.

He smiled, put the reed in his hand, waved to Qin Qing, and turned to leave.

"Xiao Fang is such a good person."

Tang Min sighed as he looked at Fang Zhiwei's back.

Qin Qing nodded and reached out to hold Tang Min's hand reassuringly.

In her previous life, after her mother jumped into the river, she lived a miserable life. Gu Jingmo took advantage of the situation and took complete control of her, making her live like a puppet.

Now she has a second chance to live her life and rescue the most important person. This time, she will never be a softie and let others bully her!

She wants to live well and live for herself!

"Qing'er, what should we do next?" Tang Min asked somewhat anxiously.

"Go back to the Qin family! Take back what we deserve!"
