Even if Shi Zhenxiang was foolish, seeing the rushing river water made him realize something.
He struggled violently, his eyes filled with fear.
"No, no, no, don't die, don't kill me."
His crippled limbs were too weak to move; only his body twitched.
This Shizhen Township is like a marionette, a mere human form.
The other person didn't say anything, but squatted down by the river, grabbed his head, and without hesitation, pushed his head into the water.
They held him down firmly, giving him no room to maneuver.
Water was continuously poured into Shi Zhenxiang's eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and tongue. His lungs began to feel like they were being scorched by fire. He tried his best to resist, shaking his head desperately, but his strength was as light as a feather and not worth mentioning in front of the other party.
Gradually, Shi Zhenxiang stopped moving.
Once he was sure he was dead, the tall figure stood up and, as if treating a dead dog, kicked him into the river with disgust.
Shi Zhenxiang's body floated downstream with the river.
He lay on his back, his eyes wide open, his face pale and lifeless, as dead as could be.
Anyone who saw this would faint from fright.
But the person standing on the shore had a calm expression, with a contemptuous sneer.
Only after the body disappeared did the man turn around and walk towards the village.
He reached the back wall of the Ling family's house with ease, without making a sound.
During the day, while delivering things to Ling Laosan's family, he noticed that Ling Yin's room was located here.
The window was partially open, and by the moonlight, one could see Lingyin lying quietly on the bed, sleeping peacefully.
A doting smile appeared at the corner of Da Yong's mouth, and his eyes softened completely.
Yin, I've taken care of that person, and I've dealt with him cleanly. He'll never be able to show his face in front of you again.
There won't be those mocking and teasing looks anymore, people making fun of you and that person, waiting to see you make a fool of yourself.
Da Yong mounted his horse and galloped towards Datian Village in the night.
In another quarter of an hour, it will be dawn.
In order not to alert the Qiao family, Da Yong dismounted when they were almost at the gate.
"Shh, Da Hong, be quiet, don't disturb the family."
Big Red seemed to understand and slowed its hoofbeats.
The man and his horse entered the courtyard almost silently. Da Yong settled Da Hong in and then went into the room.
Da Cheng was still fast asleep and didn't notice anything. Dayong lay down on the bed, opened his eyes for a while, and then slowly closed them again.
Qiao Lian'er was a light sleeper, perhaps because she was preoccupied with the sound of horses' hooves returning from the village road, which woke her up.
Needless to say, Da Yong has returned.
Calculating the time, it would take about this long to get from here to Lingjia Village and back.
However, she decided to pretend that nothing had happened. Her only hope was that Dayong would act prudently and not leave any evidence against him.
While eating breakfast, she observed Da Yong's expression. He showed no signs of panic or worry, indicating that things had gone well.
She was going to the county town to buy a shop, and Dayong and Qiao Zhizhi were going with her.
Da Yong's purpose was, of course, to see Ling Yin, while Qiao Zhizhi's purpose was purely to go to the county town to have fun, buy delicious food, and play games.
