Jiang Henian was startled and frowned in pain.
"Hey, comrade, what are you doing? If you have something to say, please talk to me nicely."
Xu Dongjiang thought He Jinshan was going to use violence and hurried to stop him.
Jiang Henian was frightened. Looking at He Jinshan, who had a cold and fierce face, tears gradually appeared in his eyes.
He looks aggrieved and timid, which makes people feel very pitiful.
Xu Dongjiang was anxious: "Comrade, please let Miss Jiang go!"
"roll!"
He Jinshan's face was as gloomy as water. He pushed Xu Dongjiang's hand away with such force that he staggered four or five steps and his glasses almost flew out onto the street.
Jiang Henian was grabbed by the arm and dragged back. He Jinshan had long legs and took big steps, so he walked very fast, and she stumbled after him.
"He..."
Xu Dongjiang was simply shocked by this chaotic world. Just a short while ago, he encountered two people who were robbing women!
"Hey! Who are you? Let go of Miss Jiang! I'm calling the police!"
This is just adding fuel to the fire.
He Jinshan turned around and grabbed the noisy idiot's neck with one hand. The veins on the back of his hand bulged, and his thin lips curled into a cold and ferocious arc.
"She's my wife, get out."
Xu Dongjiang covered his neck, bent over and coughed for a long time, then stood there in a daze, watching the two people leave.
*
Inside Wulin Town Police Station.
"It's confirmed. This man is a migrant fleeing from the south. Five days ago, he robbed a woman of her belongings in Shichong Town, dragged her into the wild woods, raped her, and murdered her. He then fled all the way here..."
"...The suspect suffered a severe skull fracture, but since there were reasons for this, we will not pursue the matter further."
"If there are no problems, you can sign here and leave."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Public Security Comrade!"
Wang Daqiang, who "bravely acted" and held down the suspect, quickly agreed and signed his name.
Jiang Henian's face turned pale and he reached for the pen on the table with trembling hands.
A big hand reached out, held her hand, pulled out the pen, and signed with a flourish.
Jiang Henian was pulled out of the police station by He Jinshan. She stood at the door, silently looking at the people passing by on the road.
On the dusty dirt road, people rode by on 28-inch bicycles, jingling and jingling. Someone was leading a runny-nosed child, cursing at every step. Someone was hurrying along carrying sacks on their backs. Someone was pushing a cart carrying goods. And there was even a dusty ox cart filled with people...
Everyone is dressed simply, in blue, gray, army green work clothes or white coarse cloth shirts, and baggy pants. Their expressions are lively and vivid, and they are living people in this era.
But when Jiang Henian looked at these people, he felt a creepy feeling in his bones.
Is this world really real?
Are these living, self-aware beings?
Or are all of these just NPCs in that novel? Every person, every event, every object serves the protagonist, and every character's fate is predetermined?
Otherwise, why would this bearded man appear here?
The vision she saw on the day she traveled through time was of this person.
"Jiang Henian" was forced by Song Wenqing to drift to a lonely mountain in the distance, digging wild vegetables for a living and was robbed many times by people fleeing famine. The bearded man wanted to do something bad, and while she was struggling, "Jiang Henian" cut his neck with a rusty sickle, and blood sprayed all over her face.
Then, she too fell off the mountain and died.
Why...why did I meet this person even though I tried so hard to avoid Song Wenqing?
When Song Wenqing returned to the city to visit a patient, she had clearly avoided him, but she ran into him by chance when she was buying tape; she was afraid of going down the plot, so she ran away immediately, but still met the human traffickers; she escaped from the human traffickers and did not get lost like in the original book, and did not end up in that dead end.
But why! This damn bearded man would come here to kill her?!
So, no matter what she does, the ending won't change, right? No matter what she does, the plot is always correcting, correcting, correcting.
Isn’t “Jiang Henian” just an insignificant cannon fodder?! Why did she have to die?! If that’s the case, why did you let me travel through time and space here?!
What else can I do…
A huge feeling of powerlessness came over me.
Jiang Henian's eyes were filled with intense pain, anger and anxiety. She trembled uncontrollably and her breathing became more and more rapid.
The tremor passed through the wrist and directly to He Jinshan's palm.
"What's wrong?"
The cold anger on the man's face subsided a little, and he turned his head to look at her.
Jiang Henian turned his face away and tried to pull it out with trembling hands.
He Jinshan tightened his grip, his brows furrowed, and he grasped the man's shoulders tightly to turn him around, only to see a pair of wet, red eyes filled with tears.
The sadness and fear in the girl's eyes tore his heart apart.
He was stunned, with a look of confusion in his eyes.
"Year after year?"
Jiang Henian's tears immediately flowed down the corners of her eyes. She looked at He Jinshan through her misty tears, her lips trembling.
He Jinshan held her face nervously and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, Nian Nian?"
Jiang Henian grabbed He Jinshan's wrist with such force that his fingertips dug into his flesh.
"He Jinshan..."
"He Jinshan, what should I do?"
"What should I do... He Jinshan..."
The girl's panicked and frightened voice hit his heart like a hammer.
He Jinshan wiped away her tears, stretched out his long arms, and held her tightly in his arms, saying gently, "It's okay, it's okay... I was wrong. Uncle shouldn't be so mean to you."
Jiang Henian buried himself tightly in He Jinshan's arms, as if trying to absorb warmth, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
"Ouch! Excuse me?"
Wang Daqiang, who had exchanged a few more Tai Chi moves with the police, came out and saw the two of them hugging each other tightly at the door, grinning and speaking in a cheeky tone.
That's pretty bold.
He wanted to glance into He Jinshan's arms. After taking a few glances inside, he saw that the young wife had taken off her headscarf. She was so pretty and her skin was as white as tofu!
He Jinshan placed his big palm behind Jiang Henian's head, his face sullen, and his cold, sharp and fierce eyes slashed towards Wang Dahai behind him.
"Uh," Wang Daqiang was inexplicably frightened. He looked away and unconsciously took a step back. He lowered his voice and asked with a wry smile, "I just came to ask about our deal. Is it still possible?"
"constant."
He Jinshan threw down two words, embraced Jiang Henian and left.
Wang Daqiang watched the two men disappear around the corner and rubbed his chin in confusion. "Who is this guy? He's clearly not an ordinary person..."
"Brother Qiang!"
Zhang Wan ran over from the other side of the wall and asked nervously, "How is it? Did we get exposed?"
"Even if you expose your dick, I won't expose my dick!"
Wang Daqiang got angry when he thought about what happened today. He jumped up and slapped Zhang Wan on the head, "Get out of here right now! If you do it again, I'll beat you to death!"
From a distance, it looks like a potato beating a skinny cucumber.
"Okay, okay! Brother, calm down! This is a police station..."
