Chapter 183 But he had no reason to harm Li Gui
The so-called old place is a small bamboo forest behind the two courtyards.
The rain stopped a little in the evening, but it was still very cold outside. The village roads were covered with accumulated rain. The whole village was quiet, as if there was no one there.
It was not until later that some families began to light up the lights.
Li Gui sneaked out of his backyard. He deliberately whistled at the gate of the yard to remind Shen Chengyuan to keep the appointment.
Li Gui thought that no one would go out at this time, so he didn't dare to go deeper.
But he waited and waited but no one showed up. About half an hour had passed and he was getting too cold to bear it.
Unexpectedly, not long after he walked out of the bamboo forest, he heard hurried footsteps in the rain behind him. When he turned around to look, a stick hit him directly on the forehead.
When he saw the man's face clearly in the faint moonlight, his eyes widened in disbelief, and then he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
As the bright red blood stained the rain-white ground, a cold and biting wind blew through the bamboo forest.
···
Li Gui's family didn't realize something was wrong until the third day after he disappeared. They thought he had gone out to fool around somewhere, but after asking around, no one was found to have seen him.
Many people were talking about it behind my back, thinking it might be retribution.
Who made him eat up so much of the educated youth's food for himself? Maybe God has opened his eyes.
It was raining heavily outside and there was no way I could go out to look for it.
Lin Mengyao stayed at home and talked about this with her mother. "Don't you think this is too strange? Li Gui was exposed for embezzling food, and he disappeared not long after. It is very likely that he is dead."
"Shh!" Zhang Xiumei quickly covered her mouth. "You are pregnant now, so please don't say such unlucky words."
Lin Mengyao didn't think much of it. She didn't think the baby in her belly was that important and even felt a little disgusted by his existence.
Isn’t this child the best evidence that she was bullied by Shen Chengyuan?
When she thought about how her virginity had gone to that damn old man, she wished she could just stab him to death.
"Who do you think the murderer is?"
Zhang Xiumei couldn't help but shudder. She was very sensitive about death, especially when someone was killed by someone else.
She couldn't help but think of what happened back then...
"This... How could I have guessed this... Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. It's getting late. Don't stay up late and go to bed early!"
Recently, she found that her daughter seemed like a different person. She became more serious and not as innocent as before.
Zhang Xiumei was afraid that if she continued talking, Shen Linmengyao would see something about her.
Lin Mengyao looked at her back, a hint of displeasure flashing across her eyes. She hadn't even gotten to the point yet, which was really a letdown.
Li Gui usually hangs out with Shen Chengyuan, and it's no exaggeration to say that he is a loyal dog. But today, when he was having dinner, he saw that Shen Chengyuan was not at all surprised by Li Gui's disappearance, and he was even very calm.
She was about to suspect that it had something to do with Shen Chengyuan.
But he had no reason to harm Li Gui.
I can't figure it out.
The heavy rain continued for half a month with no sign of stopping.
Fortunately, the higher-ups took this matter very seriously and allocated a lot of relief grain, which helped the team get through the difficult times.
These days, Lin Ziqiu is reviewing his lessons at home.
Always preparing for the college entrance examination. By calculation, the first college entrance examination after its resumption will be held at the end of next year.
This exam came too suddenly and many people did not have enough time to prepare, so very few people passed.
But it is precisely because of this that it is easy to make a splash.
"You study so hard, do you want to change your career and become a teacher?"
Zhong Xuexi was very puzzled. During the time she was trapped at home, she didn't even see Zhao Huaian. It was only on the first day of the initial rain that Zhao Huaian came to see her and gave her all kinds of instructions, even more nagging than her mother.
If his mother hadn't been at home, he would have wanted to stay at the Zhong family.
This rain not only forced them to be separated for dozens of days, but also postponed their wedding date.
Originally, she thought that they could play cards at home to kill time, but Lin Ziqiu was really studying so hard that she forgot to eat and sleep. Even she, as a teacher, felt ashamed of herself.
Lin Ziqiu didn't even raise his head, "Go play with Ah Qing, and close the door for me."
Zhong Xuexi: “…”
Okay, okay, he didn’t even bother to reply to me and just chased her away.
Ruan Qing happened to walk in from outside and put his arm around her neck. "Don't bother her anymore. As a teacher, do you have the heart to destroy the ambition of a person who is eager to learn?"
Zhong Xuexi frowned, "Studying is studying, but you also have to combine work and rest. You can't just bury your head in study all the time, you also have to learn to relax appropriately."
Although she still doesn't understand what Lin Ziqiu wants to do after learning all this.
The college entrance examination has been suspended for so many years, and now it is good enough to have a high school diploma.
Most people would choose to take the entrance exam for a technical secondary school, learn a skill, and be guaranteed a job after graduation. Even professions like teachers are not very popular these days.
"You have a point, but your sister-in-law is a woman of iron. We can't pull her even if we use eight oxen. Let's just forget it."
Ruan Qing was very tactful. After all, she had been here a few days earlier, but was scared away by Lin Ziqiu's sharp look.
But think about it, it's not wrong for Lin Ziqiu to work so hard. She has a mission to accomplish. If she wants to live better than in her previous life, she must pass the college entrance examination next year.
Zhong Xuexi recognized the reality and said, "Let's go, we're going to be scolded soon."
The two looked at each other and left helplessly.
The rain stopped and the sky cleared up. The fog gradually dissipated and the warm sunshine poured down.
This is the first sunny day and the rainstorm is finally over.
As many houses collapsed due to heavy rains, many people were left homeless and the reconstruction work is being carried out rapidly.
"Your housing issue hasn't been resolved yet, so just continue living here for now."
Mr. Li and Tian Gui and his son could not return home. Li Guixiang was a kind-hearted person, so naturally she would not drive them out.
Tian Gui scratched his head and said awkwardly, "I'm really sorry to bother you again."
Li Guixiang smiled and said, "It's no trouble at all. I don't want you to leave as long as I can eat the food cooked by the chef every day."
Tian Gui smiled naively, "Thank you for your appreciation. If you like it, you are always welcome to come over for dinner when the state-owned restaurant opens. I will treat you."
"That's great! I'll definitely go there for a free meal later, hahaha!"
The two elders were talking in the yard while Tian Xiaofeng was packing things in the house.
"Where are you going?"
Zhong Zhiyang passed by and saw it, so he walked in curiously.
Tian Xiaofeng explained: "My grandfather is still in the hospital, and I plan to go see him with my father."
"I just happened to be going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some vegetables. Let's go together."
