Compared to Zhou Mingli's performance in the grove, Jiang Ci's approach was much simpler and more direct.
The story goes back another half hour.
After Zhou Mingli went to participate in the night patrol, Jiang Ci took the children to play at the Yu family's house. As soon as her sister-in-law left, she asked Dazhu and Erzhu to take good care of Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao, and then she went back home.
Zhou Miao and Zhou Yang are too young; it would be better for them to stay in the room of Da Zhu and Er Zhu and play by themselves in this situation.
When Jiang Ci returned home, she lit the oil lamp as usual, and used its light to fetch water to wash her face and brush her teeth. She then leisurely walked to the door and splashed a basin of water, as if she had not noticed anyone sneaking into her room.
After splashing water, Jiang Ci put the basin down, went inside, and turned off the lights.
She seemed to have a stomachache, groaning twice, and before even getting into bed, she ran to the toilet in the dark.
On a dark and stormy night, Zhou Laoda, who had sneaked into the house, noticed that Jiang Ci had left. He was the first to climb out from under the bed and hide in a corner near the wall.
The wooden windows let in no light, and without the oil lamp, the room was pitch black. Old Zhou held his breath and waited quietly.
Boss Zhou has already made up his mind. Tonight, he will rape and then kill that bitch Jiang Ci, so she will know the price she has to pay for knocking out her teeth!
That's why he secretly got into bed, waiting for Jiang Ci to come back from the bathroom. As soon as Jiang Ci got into bed...
Hmph, he knocked Jiang Ci unconscious!
If Jiang Ci faints, wouldn't she be completely at his mercy?
That little bitch, he'll definitely ruin her!
As for Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao, those two kids? He saw them all. Jiang Ci left the children at the Yu family's house, probably because they were playing well with the two kids from the Yu family and didn't come back.
That's not important; his main target is Jiang Ci.
With a creak, the door opened!
Zhou Laoda was startled and dared not make a sound, holding his breath and concentrating.
Someone is coming in!
It must be Jiangci!
The person walked in, their footsteps very light.
The room was too dark for Boss Zhou to see who it was, but who else could it be but Jiang Ci?
Could it be that Zhou Mingli has returned?
How could that be? The patrolmen have to stay in the threshing ground all night; Zhou Mingli won't be back.
Therefore, Boss Zhou was convinced that the person who returned must be Jiang Ci!
Unbeknownst to him, there was another person who wanted to take advantage of the day to eliminate Jiang Ci.
—Li Hu.
Li Hu had also hidden himself away early, waiting for Jiang Ci to turn off the lights and go to sleep.
He hid even better than Boss Zhou, hiding behind the house.
Because Li Hu wasn't observing from the front, he didn't see Zhou Laoda rush into the room while Jiang Ci was splashing water.
Li Hu waited until the lights went out before sneaking to the front. After her house was enclosed by a wall, it was not easy to climb. Li Hu exerted all his strength before finally managing to climb the wall.
He peeked out slightly and observed from the shadows.
Jiang Ci turned off the lights, then clutched her stomach and ran out of the house to the toilet.
Li Hu knew his chance had come!
You should know that he and Xia Lei had been worried for several days, silently waiting for someone to report them.
Because he wasn't sure who had witnessed their transaction on the mountain that day, Xia Lei, to be on the safe side, hid the exchanged artifacts as soon as he came down the mountain. Even if that person reported it and someone went to Xia Lei's house to look for the artifacts, it would be a wasted effort, and they wouldn't find anything.
The item has been hidden away for a long time; even if the Heavenly King himself came to look for it, he wouldn't be able to find it!
Because they were unsure, he and Xia Lei were thinking of having someone report them as soon as possible so they could find out which bastard was plotting against them behind their backs.
One day, two days, three days.
It's really hard to live in constant fear when no one reports them. Xia Lei is suffering, and so is he.
Compared to Xia Lei, he has a real weakness that Jiang Ci can use against him!
Only by eliminating Jiang Ci can his business of buying and selling cultural relics be kept secret.
In the black market, buying and selling cultural relics can only be considered a serious crime if caught in the act. Jiang Ci can't prove anything without evidence. As long as he insists that he didn't do such a thing and refuses to admit it, no one can do anything to him.
But Li Hu needs to make money; he still needs to go to the ghost market to earn money!
If he doesn't kill Jiang Ci, he'll be on edge every time he goes to the Ghost Market because Jiang Ci will betray him. It's really annoying.
Therefore, Li Hu is determined to make a move today. After all, if he misses this opportunity, who knows how long he will have to wait for the next one.
Li Hu struggled to climb the wall, then quickly vaulted over it. He didn't notice when he landed and twisted his ankle!
Li Hu winced in pain, but covered his mouth tightly, afraid to utter a sound.
