The two men's breathing gradually became rapid, and their heartbeats were like drums, hitting their chests again and again.
It was as if countless kittens were scratching my heart, making it itchy but also filled with an indescribable desire.
Just as the two were in love and about to have a fight, Shen Qiqi's mind suddenly flashed through the old lady's weather-beaten face and the possible danger in the small shabby house.
She shuddered suddenly, as if a basin of cold water was poured on her, and she woke up instantly.
She pushed Lu Qing away, and her rational emotions quickly took over.
"No, the old lady is still in danger!" Shen Qiqi suddenly sat up from the bed, her eyes firm, where was the charm she had just now?
Lu Qing was stunned by her sudden action, with a hint of obvious loss and confusion in his eyes.
But he quickly understood Shen Qiqi's mood.
He loved her kindness and courage, but he also knew that now was not the time to be sentimental.
"Okay, I'll accompany you." Lu Qing took a deep breath and calmed down the turbulent emotions in his heart.
Shen Qiqi pulled Lu Qing up, her eyes full of determination and confidence. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile: "Come on, husband, the fun has just begun, let's go meet those behind the scenes!"
Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi's profile
"Yeah." Lu Qing held her hand tightly, his eyes flashing with excitement. He suddenly leaned close to Shen Qiqi's ear and said in a devilish tone, "Baby, let's continue after we find the old lady... We can't give up halfway through what we just did."
When Shen Qiqi heard Lu Qing's words, her cheeks flushed instantly. She glared at him angrily, but whispered, "Slippery tongue!"
The two people held hands, their eyes met, full of tacit understanding.
At this moment, Shen Qiqi suddenly stopped and pointed at an old locust tree not far ahead, her eyes full of doubt: "Strange, there seems to be something there..."
Chen Qiqi and Lu Qing followed the old locust tree all the way to the small shabby house on the back mountain of the village.
The door of the dilapidated house was ajar and creaked like the standard sound effects in horror movies, which made people feel creepy.
Shen Qiqi winked at Lu Qing, and the two of them sneaked in, one in front and one behind.
The room was pitch black. With the little light coming through the crack in the door, Shen Qiqi saw a familiar figure huddled in the corner. Who else could it be but the old lady?
She was delighted and quickly stepped forward to help the old lady up, "Grandma, are you okay?!"
When the old lady saw Shen Qiqi, she was so excited that tears streamed down her face. She grabbed Shen Qiqi's hand and said in a trembling voice, "Qiqi, I knew you would come to save me! Uncle and the others... they want to kill me!"
Shen Qiqi hurriedly comforted the old lady while carefully checking her body to make sure she was not injured.
Lu Qing stood vigilantly at the door, paying attention to every movement around him. The powerful aura he exuded was like a towering mountain, making people feel extremely at ease.
The old lady recovered and revealed the whole conspiracy between her eldest uncle's wife and her second uncle's son. They stole account books, framed others, and murdered for money. It was simply a bloody ethics drama!
Shen Qiqi was furious when she heard this, and she wanted to pull out those heartless people and give them a good beating.
"Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you!" Shen Qiqi excitedly squeezed the old lady's hand. She felt that she was one step closer to completely resolving the Lu family crisis, and she felt so happy.
Lu Qing looked at the glint in Shen Qiqi's eyes, felt the confidence and courage emanating from her, and his heart was filled with pride and love.
His Qiqi is just so great!
"Come on, grandma, let's go find the clan leader and expose the true faces of these bad guys!" Shen Qiqi supported the old lady and strode out of the dilapidated house. Lu Qing followed closely behind, and the three of them walked towards the clan leader's house with great momentum.
When Shen Qiqi appeared in front of the patriarch with the old lady, the whole scene fell silent.
When the patriarch saw that the old lady was safe and sound, the anger on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a hint of surprise and confusion.
As soon as the eldest uncle's wife saw the old lady, her face turned pale instantly. She never thought that the old lady was not dead!
She rushed forward like a mad woman, pointing at the old lady and cursing, "You old fool! You're not dead! Are you colluding with outsiders to frame us?!"
The eldest uncle's wife was extremely good at confusing right and wrong. She brought together a group of bribed villagers, who all accused the old lady, saying that she was senile, talking nonsense, and trying to sow discord.
For a moment, the whole scene was in chaos and the truth was drowned out by various voices.
The patriarch listened to the noisy voices with a frown on his face. He was a little shaken and didn't know who to trust.
Shen Qiqi looked at the smug faces of her uncle and aunt, as well as the bribed people around them, and sneered in her heart. She thought that this was the only trick they could use to deceive her?
How young and naive!
She walked forward calmly, her tone calm but with a hint of unquestionable authority, "Chief, fellow villagers, do you really believe this old witch's one-sided words?"
"Qiqi!" Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi, his eyes full of worry.
Shen Qiqi smiled at him, telling him not to worry, "I know my limits."
