Chapter 97 Nonsense
She glanced indifferently at the crowd, then stood quietly in place.
Zhang Erzhu was so anxious that he stomped his feet and couldn't help but push Wang Qiongying's shoulder.
"Hey, Qiongying! Can't you speak properly! Can't you stop scaring people with your every word! If you keep spouting this nonsense, your mother's going to faint!"
As he spoke, he gestured with his chin towards Yang Juanhua beside him.
Wang Qiongying pursed her lips and muttered disdainfully.
"Honestly, she can't even take a joke. This old lady is too soft-hearted."
She paused for a moment before slowly continuing.
"Who said Lu Jianguo is dead? He's perfectly fine! Today, Erzhu and I went to check for rats on my land. When we passed Erlaizi's dilapidated house, we suddenly heard 'humming and squeaking' sounds coming from inside. Erzhu and I got goosebumps; we thought it was haunted!"
She paused deliberately before continuing.
"So I mustered up my courage, took out my flashlight and shone it on, and guess what? Erzhu and I were so scared we almost dropped the flashlight! The scene was absolutely terrifying!"
Everyone present held their breath.
Erlaizi was a well-known bachelor in the village.
He died of illness in that dilapidated house a few years ago, and the house has remained empty ever since.
Wang Qiongying's land was right next to that wasteland, where rats often appeared at night.
She and her husband, Zhang Erzhu, then had the idea to check in the middle of the night.
He was just catching a mouse, but he stumbled upon such a bizarre and strange event.
"Qiong Ying, Jianguo is not dead! That's wonderful!"
Upon hearing that her son was still alive, Yang Juanhua immediately stopped crying and smiled, patting her chest repeatedly, "Thank God, thank God! I thought my son was gone! I was so scared!"
Wang Qiongying rolled her eyes again.
"He's not dead! But he's in the middle of the night having sex with Zhou Yangyu! They're both naked and embracing! When the flashlight shone on them, they were so scared they scrambled under the bed! Tsk, shameless! Doing this kind of thing in that dilapidated house in the middle of the night, they're a disgrace to the village!"
Her words were utterly merciless, causing an uproar among those around her.
Zhang Erzhu quickly poked Wang Qiongying again.
"Hey, keep your voice down! There are so many people here, including children! Don't blurt everything out! Besides, Cuifen is standing right here; aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass her?"
Wang Qiongying then realized she had let something slip and subconsciously glanced at Shen Cuifen.
She remained expressionless.
Wang Qiongying suddenly felt a little guilty and shut her mouth.
Yang Zhi tapped his knee repeatedly with his hand.
His gaze gradually became serious, replaced by a deep sense of regret.
It seems we really misunderstood Shen Cuifen.
"Let go of Chen Cuifen right now."
His tone conveyed both apology and a sense of urgency to correct his mistake.
Lu Jianguo is not only alive, but also in good spirits, so there is no question of him being murdered.
They tied up Shen Cuifen as a murder suspect.
This is not only an injustice to her personally, but also a disregard for the law and the truth.
To be on the safe side, Yang Zhi decided to check on Lu Jianguo's condition in person.
Now that the clues point to Er Laizi's house, we must go there ourselves.
So, a group of people, carrying flashlights, marched in a grand procession toward Er Laizi's house.
There are still quite a few people in the village who are still awake at this hour.
No one expected that this peaceful summer night would be broken by a sudden burst of excitement.
Just then, I saw a group of people under that tree pointing at some spot, talking animatedly about Lu Jianguo and Zhou Yangyu.
Some people covered their mouths and chuckled, while others shook their heads repeatedly.
Then I saw a large group of people walking towards me with lights on, including police officers, and I immediately became curious.
Whose house is in trouble?
Why are the police here?
Adding to that, Wang Qiongying casually shouted it out.
"Let's go check on Er Laizi's house!"
A few restless people simply followed along.
"Come quick! Something terrible has happened!"
They ran and shouted, their voices echoing along the village road.
A short while later, the light at the east end came on, and the door at the west end opened.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the village.
More and more people are going to Erlaizi's house.
When they arrived, about half of the people from Daqiao Village had come.
A dense crowd gathered in front of Erlaizi's house.
Before they even entered the room, they could hear the "hmm hmm ah ah" sounds that Wang Qiongying had described coming from inside.
Yang Zhi coughed twice, trying to suppress the surrounding noise.
He led his men forward and pushed open the dilapidated door of Erlaizi's house.
When the door opened, the scene in the courtyard stunned everyone.
The two people were naked and entwined together.
"Ouch!"
The villagers who were watching almost all screamed in surprise.
Those two were really strange. With so many people coming, they were still wriggling around on the ground, making "uh-huh" and "ah-ah" sounds.
They seemed oblivious to everything around them, lost in their own world.
"Shine a flashlight over there!"
Yang Zhi frowned.
Several police officers immediately raised their flashlights, and several beams of light shone simultaneously into the center of the yard.
The light pierced the night, illuminating a dim corner in the center of the courtyard.
Only after taking the photo did it become clear that the man and woman below were not wearing any clothes.
His body was bound tightly with thick ropes, and his mouth was stuffed with something, so he couldn't speak.
With their bodies exposed to the cool breeze, the two could only emit low, hoarse "whooshing" sounds.
"My God! Isn't that Lu Jianguo and Zhou Yangyu?"
Someone in the village recognized him.
Zhu Lanlan and Zhu Fenfen felt a burning sensation on their faces when they saw their mother tied up like that.
"Shameless thing!"
Zhu Lanlan spat on the ground, grabbed her sister, and turned to leave.
Hearing others talk about it and seeing it with your own eyes are two completely different things.
There had been rumors circulating in the village before, and although the two sisters felt uncomfortable, they still held onto a sliver of hope.
But what they saw with their own eyes was like a muffled thunderclap, shattering their hearts and minds.
Zhou Yangyu blushed deeply with embarrassment, wishing she could disappear into the ground.
She tried desperately to shrink into Lu Jianguo's arms, but both of them were tied up, so where could they hide?
She was completely naked, surrounded by people whose gazes were like needles piercing her.
She closed her eyes, but could still hear it clearly; the shame was almost tearing her apart.
Actually, they were inside the house at first.
I woke up at noon.
They fell into a deep sleep at some point.
They woke up to find themselves tied up and gagged, and both were terrified.
Lu Jianguo stared wide-eyed, desperately turning his head to look.
Zhou Yangyu was in tears, completely unable to remember what had happened.
They remembered having a few drinks at Zhou Yangyu's house last night before going back to their rooms to sleep.
But when I woke up, I found myself in this dilapidated place.
His clothes had vanished, and he was bound hand and foot.
All of this absurdity made them think they were still dreaming.
They looked at each other and saw the same fear in each other's eyes.
Could it be revenge from an enemy?
Could this be extortion?
Various terrifying thoughts flashed through my mind.
As darkness fell, the two had no choice but to inch their way out of the house, hoping to find someone to ask for help.
I had only been out for a short while when I heard people talking outside.
Overjoyed, they could only hum and groan, hoping to attract attention.
