Chapter 84 Let's send Jingui home together
Jin Gui was frightened and it took her a while to regain her composure, but when she thought of the harsh words Cheng Fugui had said before, she felt despair again.
Yes, the monk can run away but the temple cannot. And there is also Xiao Mantou. He is so young. She is a widow with no one to rely on. How long can she protect him?
I was lucky to escape this time, but what about next time? What if I don’t meet a kind-hearted person like Zhong Qiao?
Zhong Qiao saw her concerns and said, "Don't worry, Cheng Fugui is not that stupid. As long as you are not alone, he will not attack you. Is there anyone else in your family?"
"Yes." Jingui nodded numbly. "My parents-in-law live in Dahe Village, but ever since my husband died, they've said I was the one who brought him down and they don't want to see me at all."
"Then do this for now." Zhong Qiao suggested, "I heard from Xiao Cui that you have a son, right? There's no old man who doesn't love his younger generation. You can use your child as an excuse to go to your parents-in-law's house and hide for a while. Try not to go out alone."
"As for purchasing wild duck eggs, just ask Wang Xiaocui to bring them to me. The price is still what I say."
Jingui nodded gratefully: "Thank you."
Before she could finish her words, she started crying again.
Zhong Qiao sighed. It was already difficult for a woman who lost her husband to survive, and now she has to deal with something like this. If she were a normal person, she would have collapsed long ago.
"Thanks."
Jin Gui cried and thanked him again, holding Zhong Qiao's sleeve tightly, as if it was her life-saving straw.
She is not a fool. Wang Xiaocui had already returned home, and Zhong Qiao lied to save her. Otherwise, given Cheng Fugui's character of not giving up until he achieves his goal, how could he let her go so easily?
Zhong Qiao helped her up and walked out of the reed marsh.
"This place is quite far from Dahe Village. How did you get here?" Zhong Qiao said.
Jingui lowered her eyes, pursed her lips that were cracked and peeling, and whispered, "I walked over."
Zhong Qiao was dumbfounded. Dahe Village was at least 7 kilometers away from here, and she had walked for nearly two hours relying solely on her two legs?
"I'll take you home." Zhong Qiao sighed, "I have a bicycle."
Jingui was still thinking about what had just happened, and she hummed absentmindedly.
Zhong Qiao pushed the bicycle out from the reed marsh and asked Jingui to sit on it. After riding for a while, they vaguely felt that there was a car following them from behind, and the speed was neither fast nor slow.
Zhong Qiao was confused. They didn’t know anyone who drove a car. If they didn’t know anyone, why would they follow him?
Thinking of Cheng Fugui, Zhong Qiao began to suspect the worst. Could it be that he had made a comeback? Had he found a bunch of bad friends?
Thinking of this, Zhong Qiao pedaled his bicycle faster.
The car behind me also sped up.
Zhong Qiao pedaled for a long time until the wheels were almost on fire. He was really out of strength, so he simply turned the bike sideways and blocked the way in front of the car.
I raised my eyes and looked at the people in the car through the blurry window.
Ji Hebai was stunned.
"Ji Hebai?" Zhong Qiao also recognized him.
I really didn't expect that the person following them was Ji Hebai.
At this moment, Zhong Qiao's forehead was covered with sweat, and her pretty little face was flushed like a hibiscus flower blooming in the rain, and her clear eyes were bright and hot.
Ji Hebai's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly heard the sound of his chest beating violently, accompanied by his rapid breathing, just like that, again and again, in this silent world.
Zhong Qiao got out of the car, parked it, walked slowly to the car window and knocked.
"Ji Hebai, what do you want to do?"
Ji Hebai came to his senses and didn't know how to respond.
He has a secret that no one knows.
In fact, he came to ask for help from his second uncle, just like last time.
His father did not agree with him joining the army, but I'm not afraid to say it's a joke, but for half a year now, he has had a recurring dream.
There was a man in the dream, who looked exactly like him, including his voice.
The man told him that he was from the future, that is, himself more than ten years later.
He asked her to join the army, and find a way to change the ending of the Ji family in the previous life, find the murderer, and also tell him everything about Zhong Qiao's bad life.
Ji Hebai is an atheist, but what the person in the dream said was so detailed and so real, as if it was himself in another parallel space.
In the end, everything the man said came true, as if it were a prophecy.
Ji Hebai still refused to believe it.
Until, that person predicted that he would have a car accident, and there would be a deep scar on his arm, extending from the wrist to the arm, and he described the shape clearly.
When he opened his eyes and woke up from the hospital, he finally believed it and returned home resolutely.
Seeing that he had no reaction, Zhong Qiao knocked on the car window: "Ji Hebai, speak."
There was a hint of anger in her voice, although it was not obvious, but Ji Hebai caught it.
"Feel sorry."
Ji Hebai rolled down the car window, forced himself to suppress his restless heart, and tried to make his tone as lukewarm as usual.
"Ms. Zhong, I didn't recognize you earlier, but that wasn't intentional to mislead you."
Ji Hebai raised his eyes slightly: "If you don't mind, I can take you and your friend back."
Zhong Qiao was so tired that he was out of breath. When he got this reply, he felt like he had punched cotton.
Looking at the distraught Jingui on the bicycle, Zhong Qiao thought that Dahe Village was 7 kilometers away from here and no longer hesitated.
"Excuse me, we need to go to Dahe Village first."
Then Zhong Qiao walked over and whispered something to Jingui.
After experiencing this kind of thing, Jingui was very afraid of strange men, and she was nervous and alert.
Only after Zhong Qiao assured her again and again did she slowly let down her guard.
Zhong Qiao left her alone to calm down.
I opened the trunk myself and prepared to lift the bicycle in. I don’t know if it was because I had used too much effort before, but I tried for a long time but couldn’t lift it.
Someone is sighing.
The next second, Zhong Qiao felt a heat behind him, and a hot body leaned over.
"Miss Zhong, let me do it." There was a hint of helplessness in his voice.
Through his clothes, Zhong Qiao was shrouded in shadows.
Ji Hebai's breath hit her shoulder, and his slender hands took the bicycle.
This posture was ambiguous and overbearing. Zhong Qiao was like his private collection, monopolized by him. Every inch of space was plundered by the other's breath.
Zhong Qiao felt uncomfortable and looked up: "Ji Hebai, you——"
She met Ji Hebai's eyes.
The eyes seem to be smiling.
Zhong Qiao's mind froze for a second, and he lowered his head again, not daring to speak again.
Ji Hebai easily lifted the bicycle into the trunk, closed it, and moved his hot body away from Zhong Qiao, as if he had touched Zhong Qiao inadvertently and was not taking advantage of him.
Zhong Qiao endured it and secretly comforted herself, thinking that she must be overthinking it. Ji Hebai had received a good education, how could he take advantage of her?
It is totally wrong for you to assume the worst of them when they are helping you out of kindness.
Ji Hebai didn't realize that she had been thinking about a lot of things in these few seconds.
Still maintaining a lukewarm tone, he reminded: "Please get in the car."
Zhong Qiao nodded awkwardly, opened the car door and arranged for Jingui to get in.
It was the first time for Jin Gui to ride in this kind of car. As soon as she stepped in, she felt dizzy and her head was spinning, but she didn't dare to cause trouble and forced herself to hold it in.
Zhong Qiao sat down next to her, propped up his chin, and looked out the window to divert his attention.
The car started slowly, Jin Gui fainted, Zhong Qiao and Ji Hebai looked at each other in silence.
The car remained silent.
It wasn't until Ji Hebai looked through the rearview mirror and observed Zhong Qiao's expression.
After a long time, he spoke first.
"Zhong Qiao, don't you have anything to say?"
