When Bai Mei heard this, she cried even harder, "Mom, I don't want to marry him! I won't marry him even if I die!"

She is only eighteen years old, and Zhang Jiuyao at the village head is over forty years old and can be her father!

He was also unlucky with his wives. Both of his two wives died, leaving behind three children. The four of them, father and son, were so filthy that they even had lice on their heads!

Bai Mei's mother sobbed, "Who can you marry when you're already a virgin?"

"I won't marry! I want to marry Ding Yunfei! I won't marry anyone else except him!"

Bai Mei's mother said, "I had hoped you could marry Captain Ding and live in a family compound like your aunt did. You wouldn't have to work on the land or cut grass every day. But you're like this now. Who would want you?"

Bai Mei held her mother's hand tightly and said, "Mom, please talk to my dad. Give me three months and I will definitely get married!"

The next day.

Yu Xiangnian returned to her home and gave the things she brought back from Shanghai to her parents. She also went to Qiu Yang to look for a dictionary.

After entering Qiu Yang's house, Qiu Yang said, "I was just about to look for you when you came."

Yu Xiangnian was looking for a dictionary on Qiu Yang's bookshelf and asked, "What do you want from me?"

"Go to the village and find Mr. Fan, the educated youth, and treat him to a meal. When we were in Shanghai, Mr. Fan went into the mountains alone to find the Heart-Regenerating Grass and brought it to me. The guard at the gate wouldn't let him in, so he asked the guard to pass it on to me. He was really thoughtful."

Qiu Yang took out the Heart-Restoring Grass and showed it to Yu Xiangnian. "So it looks like this!"

Yu Xiangnian looked at the grass and fell into deep thought.

Through the contact during those few days, she felt that Fan Zezhou was not a warm-hearted person. On the contrary, he seemed quite indifferent.

They had all given up looking for herbs, but he delivered them.

Also, during those days, Fan Zezhou took her and Qiu Yang into the mountains every day. Did he notice that Bai Mei and the madman were following them secretly?

Moreover, Fan Zezhou had clearly seen her before, but he didn't seem to recognize her at all.

He could remember the herbs from a book he had read, but couldn't remember someone he had just met a few days ago?

"What are you looking for in my house?"

Qiu Yang's words interrupted Yu Xiangnian's thoughts, and Yu Xiangnian said, "I want a dictionary."

"Are you blind? Your hand has touched the dictionary, and you're still looking for it!"

Yu Xiangnian picked up the dictionary and said, "Qiu Yang, I want to discuss something with you. Send someone to the village today to tell the educated youth Fan that we'll go find him to collect herbs tomorrow."

Qiu Yang was puzzled. "The disease has been cured, why is there still a need to collect herbs?"

Yu Xiangnian told him his plan.

Qiu Yang said, "Alright! If anyone dares to harm you, I will kill him!"

Yu Xiangnianxin said: Fan Zezhou, I hope you are just a kind-hearted person!

The next day, Yu Xiangnian and Qiu Yang arrived at the village's educated youth center around noon, and Fan Zezhou was already waiting for them.

Qiu Yang came forward excitedly and asked, "Fan Zhiqing, where did you find the Fuxin Grass?"

Fan Zezhou said calmly, "There's a small piece under the rocks at the bottom of the cliff."

"Hurry, hurry! Take us there!"

"Wait while I get something."

When Fan Zezhou went into the house to get something, Yu Xiangnian and Qiu Yang looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.

Fan Zezhou carried a water bottle across his shoulder and a small backpack on his back, which contained ropes, a small hoe and other things.

The three of them entered the mountain and came to the edge of the cliff.

"We found it right below here." Fan Zezhou pointed to the bottom of the cliff.

Yu Xiangnian glanced down, his legs softening slightly.

The cliff is very high, with bushes and rocks growing on the edge. If you fall down accidentally, you will either die or be crippled.

She thought of the dream again and a cold sweat broke out on her back.

She looked at Fan Zezhou warily.

Fan Zezhou lowered his head and took out two ropes from his backpack. He tied one end to a big tree and the other end to his waist.

He handed another rope to Qiu Yang, who also tied it around his waist.

"Qiu Yang, you have to be careful!" Yu Xiangnian said worriedly.

Qiu Yang: "Don't worry."

Fan Zezhou then looked at Yu Xiangnian with a calm expression, "Comrade Yu, please guard these two ropes here."

Watching Fan Zezhou and Qiu Yang climbing down the cliff, Yu Xiangnian quickly stepped back several steps, away from the edge of the cliff.

She sat in the shade of a tree and waited.

More than ten meters behind him, a figure appeared. She looked at Yu Xiangnian's back with fierce eyes, as if she wanted to eat him alive.

Just as this figure was about to move forward quietly, another figure came. The later figure held the figure in front with one hand and covered her mouth with the other hand.

The figure in front kept struggling, but couldn't break free, and was carried away by the figure behind.

After walking a long way, the two figures separated.

"Bai Mei, are you crazy?!" Ding Yunfei cursed her in a low voice, "You want to push Yu Xiangnian down! That's murder! Are you crazy?!"

Ding Yunfei came to see Bai Mei today, ready to discuss with her about apologizing to Yu Xiangnian.

Seeing her sneaking into the mountain, Ding Yunfei followed her, but he saw Bai Mei preparing to push Yu Xiangnian off the cliff.

"I'm crazy! I want to kill her!" Bai Mei said gritting her teeth, pushing Ding Yunfei away and preparing to go find Yu Xiangnian.

Ding Yunfei grabbed her and asked, "What did she do to you? Do you want to take her life?"

Bai Mei's eyes turned red.

What happened to her? How could she say it?

Ding Yunfei added, "It's just a bicycle and a watch, what's the big deal? I didn't ask you to pay a penny!"

"I just want her dead!" Bai Mei sobbed. "I hate her! I want her life!"

Ding Yunfei looked at Bai Mei crying so sadly, and hugged her in his arms distressedly, "Mei'er, she is going to die, you must be shot too!"

Bai Mei leaned into his arms and cried, "No one knows I did it. There's no one in the mountains. Please let me go. Only when she dies can I feel at ease!"

Ding Yunfei couldn't let any of them die, so he dragged Bai Mei down the mountain.

"Stop crying. If someone sees you, they'll think something's wrong with you!" Ding Yunfei let her go when they were about to enter the village.

At this time, Zhao Laosan ran out from nowhere and ran straight to Baimei, muttering: "Meimei, go to sleep..."

The moment Bai Mei saw Zhao Laosan, her body stiffened, her pupils dilated, and even her lips turned white.

"Ah!" She screamed, covered her ears, and ran for her life.

Ding Yunfei recognized that this was the person who assaulted Xiang Nian that night.

He thought Baimei was from the same village as him and knew the madman's behavior, so she was frightened. He kicked the madman in the chest and said, "Get out of here!"

The madman fell to the ground after being kicked, his eyes still following the direction of Baimei's escape, shouting, "Go to sleep..."

Ding Yunfei chased Baimei to her home.

Baimei's parents both went to work, and her two younger brothers were not at home. Baimei huddled in the corner of the main room, her eyes dull and trembling.

Ding Yunfei squatted down and put his hands on her shoulders. "Mei'er, what's wrong?"
