Chapter 210 (Catching Bugs)
When the figure approached the bed, Xie Jinan was ready to pull out the knife and stab it hard from under the quilt as soon as he leaned over.
But when she really felt a breath approaching, the huge buzzing heartbeat in her chest was almost deafening. She suddenly opened her eyes, and the hand that was clenched on the knife handle under the quilt also stabbed out along the channel reserved in advance. But when her eyes opened and adapted to the darkness to truly see everything in front of her, she had no time to speed up the movement of her hands.
In a short and quick moment, less than a second, someone reached out and covered her mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief.
However, the knife she had just stabbed out only pierced the air around her. The other party did not go to the place she expected, but was at the head of the bed where her wrist was most difficult to turn, using all his strength to press her mouth and nose with both hands through the handkerchief.
In just two breaths, Xie Jinan didn't have time to stab out another attack before his body suddenly lost all strength, and he collapsed into a coma.
The last sound in the desperate consciousness was the knife falling from the edge of the bed to the ground with a clang.
She became a fish on the chopping board, knocked unconscious and waiting to be slaughtered.
Little did he know that He Yonghong also took a step back in fear, looked at the exceptionally sharp knife on the ground, then looked at the woman on the bed who had completely lost consciousness, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"You bitch! You dare to use a knife on me? I'm going to kill you in a minute!"
He cursed fiercely and spat on the ground. The man was still angry. The feeling of relief and anger rushed straight into his brain. Then he raised his hand high and slapped Xie Jinan's fair and delicate face with a crisp slap.
Under the moonlight, the left cheek of Xie Jinan, who had fainted and lost consciousness, quickly became swollen, and then a red and swollen slap mark appeared. The man was so strong that traces of blood slowly appeared on his face.
But even after suffering such a beating, Xie Jinan still could not wake up.
He Yonghong stood by the bed and admired her face for a few seconds. Then he rudely raised his hand to take off the only sweatshirt on his body and threw it on the ground. He bent down and suddenly pulled away the quilt covering Xie Jinan, and then hurriedly took off his own and the other person's pants and clothes.
At this time, there was a light knock on the door. Through the crack in the door, He Guizhi's voice came in: "Yonghong, what's wrong? Did she fall down?"
He Yonghong's good deeds were interrupted, and he responded impatiently and roughly: "It fell! Why do you care so much? Go to sleep!"
The person outside the door was silent for a few seconds, and then whispered to him through the crack in the door again: "Remember to tie her up with a rope when you're done. Don't be like the last one. If she runs away..."
The other party was still nagging him, and He Yonghong was getting impatient. He shouted in a hoarse voice, "Old man, are you going to get out of here or not? I'm not a fool, I know what to do!"
Even though the person outside the door was his biological mother who gave birth to him and raised him, He Yonghong only regarded her as a member of the family who served him. Just like his two adopted daughters, women were born to serve men. He accepted this perception since he was a child, and when he grew up, he continued to instill the same perception into his son, the only son in the family who could carry on the family line.
After being yelled at by him, this time, the person outside the door finally left.
But before He Yonghong could make any further moves, voices were heard outside again. If you listened carefully, you could hear that it was the stranger who had entered the village with Xie Jinan two days ago.
I don't know why they suddenly came to his house in the middle of the night. When He Guizhi knocked on the door and carefully asked him if he could come out, He Yonghong really wanted to pick up the knife on the ground and hack to death this incompetent old man outside the door!
"Can't you just kick them out? Why do you have to come and disturb my good thing? You ****..." He opened the door angrily and started cursing He Guizhi without saying a word when he saw her.
Those dirty words came out of He Guizhi's mouth without any thought.
Instead of getting angry, He Guizhi hunched her back and apologized in a low voice, which was in stark contrast to her vicious appearance during the day when she cursed and beat her two granddaughters with words and a stick.
While cursing, He Yonghong picked up the pants on the ground and put them on himself, then walked out with an angry face.
Su Xiaotong and Zhang Yu waited in the main room next door for several minutes. As time passed, they became restless when they thought that Xie Jinan might have been killed.
But they didn't dare to force their way in. The big yellow dog tied to the pillar next to them was staring at them with a fierce look in its eyes, its mouth open with a long tongue hanging out, breathing and drooling at them...
The two men had no doubt that if they made any unusual moves, this family would immediately release the dogs to bite them.
This is no harmless pet dog...
Su Xiaotong sat as far inside as possible, being wary and cautious in case the big yellow dog broke free from its chain and pounced on her, while craning her neck to look in the direction where He Guizhi left.
Just as the two were whispering about whether to shout out loud, a dark shadow finally strode towards the light in the main room.
Zhang Yu observed the other person's condition at first glance, and then shook his head silently at Su Xiaotong.
The stone that had been hanging high in Su Xiaotong's heart finally fell to the ground, and even her tense body collapsed.
However, now is far from the time to truly relax.
Sure enough, He Yonghong came over and asked them what they were doing at their house.
Su Xiaotong looked away in disgust. Zhang Yu replied, "It's like this. We just received a message from the school counselor. He said that Senior Xie's transfer application was approved. He asked Senior Xie to call back as soon as possible, otherwise we will contact the parents."
The main story was just a bunch of nonsense, but seeing that He Yonghong didn't care, Zhang Yu gritted his teeth and continued to make up stories despite feeling guilty: "The main reason is that Senior Xie's parents are both professors in our school, and one of them is He Jiapeng's teacher. This time, He Jiapeng told us that he would take us to visit his hometown, so Senior Xie secretly changed her application to transfer here, and Uncle Xie and Aunt Xie didn't know about it yet..."
Having said that, Su Xiaotong also knew that now was not the time to act based on personal preferences, so he continued:
"Uncle Xie is very famous. You can find information about his position by searching on the Internet. He has a bad temper. If he knew that my senior sister secretly went to the mountains to teach, he would definitely be very angry. He might even bring people to pick her up in person.
That’s why we thought of rushing to find the senior sister and asking her to reply to the counselor as soon as possible, and not to alarm the uncles and aunts. If the matter gets out of hand, we will definitely be scolded when we return to school.”
Although what he said was not perfect, it was enough to temporarily deceive the man in front of him who had not received much cultural education and had not even finished junior high school.
In particular, He Guizhi's expression next to him gradually became panicked. In her panic, she knocked over a glass of water, and the water stains flowed down the corner of the table to the ground. The sound of drops falling seemed to be invisibly catalyzing the anxious atmosphere.
He Yonghong was not willing to let go of such a beautiful and rare woman. If he spent money to buy her from Wang Zhiyong, he might have to sell both of his daughters to barely get enough.
But no matter how unwilling they were, the two men's words were convincing, and their anxious expressions did not seem like they were lying, especially since they also brought up He Jiapeng, the only college student in the village...
If he couldn't contact Xie Jinan by then, and if her family really came all the way to Hejiashan, he and the villagers together would not be sure that they could cover up the disappearance and death of a university professor.
He Yonghong struggled and pondered for a long time, and finally forced out an extremely ugly smile: "So that's how it is. But it's so late now, Teacher Xie must be sleeping soundly... How about waiting until tomorrow morning?"
The words of promise were on the tip of his lips, but He Yonghong thought of the knife that fell to the ground from Xie Jinan's hand and the bright red finger marks on the other's face, so he changed the subject and decided to postpone it until tomorrow morning.
This way he would have at least one night to think it over.
He Guizhi next to them also spoke up. After wiping the water on the table, she smiled and advised the two to go back and rest quickly, and to talk about anything tomorrow.
But this is a life-saving matter... Su Xiaotong and Zhang Yu were unwilling to leave. Who knows if the family will change their minds if they leave? Zhang Yu knows better than women that most men think with their lower body, not to mention He Yonghong who has not received much education. What if he acts on impulse? What will happen to Xie Jinan?
Save life, save life. How can it be called saving life unless it is the critical moment?
Therefore, if they delay, something unexpected may happen. They have to rescue the people tonight even if it means risking being exposed.
Zhang Yu was about to refuse, but Su Xiaotong suddenly poked him with her elbow, waiting for him to shut up. Then she smiled and said to He Guizhi, "Aunt, our instructor is pushing us too hard. We can only submit it at 6 or 7 tomorrow morning. It's submitted by the computer, and we can't compete with the computer, right?"
"How about this? I'll stop bothering you tonight and stay at your house with Senior Sister Xie for one night. Then I won't have to rush over from the village at five or six tomorrow morning and waste time. I can just explain the matter to Senior Sister Xie and ask her to call the counselor back. I have to tell her about this in person to feel at ease. After all, this job transfer is a major event in the lives of college students like us..."
She clasped her hands together in front of He Guizhi apologetically and said, "Please, I don't have to sleep. It's okay for me to just sit here and wait for Senior Sister to wake up. You don't have to worry about me."
No matter what, she had to stay.
He Guizhi looked at her son.
He Yonghong's sticky and scrutinizing eyes fell on Su Xiaotong undisguisedly under the dim light. After pretending to hesitate for a long time, he said readily: "Okay, you can live in our house."
The He family didn't have any other spare rooms. After Zhang Yu left worriedly, He Guizhi smiled and pushed open Xie Jinan's door. In the darkness, she apologized, "Miss, I'm really sorry. The light in the room is broken and we haven't had time to fix it yet. The bed is right there. Be careful when you get up at night, don't stumble or trip."
After Su Xiaotong groped her way onto the bed, she used the excuse of closing the window and picked up the clothes and knife that had fallen on the ground and took them away.
The moment the door was closed, Su Xiaotong's tense nerves suddenly relaxed. She tried to push Xie Jinan next to her, but there was no movement.
