Chapter 16: Passerby flesh plot triggered
When I finished the last bit of work, it was already half past six. If I worked quickly, I could just catch the last bus.
Today's work is considered overtime, so before leaving, the host gave each of us a pack of cigarettes and a box of biscuits.
The cigarettes are good, and normally they cost fifty yuan a pack. But if you don't smoke or can't bear to smoke, you can go to a nearby convenience store and exchange them for cash for forty yuan.
The biscuits were distributed because the host family did not leave any food for them in the evening, and they were given food to eat on the way home.
Lin Layue put the cigarettes and biscuits in his pocket. Time was a bit tight today, so he would go to exchange the money tomorrow.
He washed his hands and was about to leave when he heard someone calling him, "Master Lin, wait a minute."
Lin Layue turned around and saw that it was Dai Jun, the son of the host family. I heard that he was a chef. He had been cooking lunch for them for the past two days, but Lin Layue felt that his cooking skills were not very good.
"What's wrong?"
He first handed Lin Layue a cigarette, but Lin Layue didn't smoke, so she didn't take it.
He smiled and put it away, "Look at my memory. I'm so used to passing it to you that I forgot you don't smoke."
"Actually, I need your help with something. The kitchen roof suddenly broke, and the weather forecast says it's going to rain tonight. If you don't fix it, I'm afraid the stove will get damaged..."
Lin Layue understood, "I have to catch a bus, I'm running out of time."
He quickly said, "I'll drive you later. It's much faster than walking."
Lin Layue didn't really want to delay, but Dai Jun had already half-pulled and half-dragged him into the kitchen.
"I shouldn't be bothering you with this, but I really can't do the climbing. Look, the damage isn't big. I'll just replace a tile. It'll only take a few minutes. Please, I won't delay your drive."
Lin Layue looked up and saw that the hole was indeed not big, but it was facing the stove and she would not be able to cook if it leaked.
This kitchen is in an old house, relatively low, a bit like the old house of Lin Layue's home. It is very easy for an experienced person to go up and change a tile.
Lin Layue relaxed and said, "Find me a ladder."
"Okay, okay, it's upstairs. I'll go and move it down."
Dai Jun shouted into the room again, "Yaoyao, quickly serve tea to Master Lin."
Dai Yao responded crisply and quickly brought out a bowl of cold tea. "Drink some water and take a break. My brother is slow, so you'll have to wait a little longer."
Lin Layue took it and took a sip.
The herbal tea has been placed in the refrigerator. It is cool but not icy, with a sweet aftertaste, and is very thirst-quenching and heat-relieving.
He drank it all in two or three gulps.
After bringing down the ladder, he found a good spot to climb onto the roof, removed the broken tile and replaced it with a good one, then made some simple adjustments.
"Are you ready?"
"Alright, alright."
Lin Layue turned around and was about to leave when she heard Dai Jun's voice calling for a halt. "Wait, it seems there's something wrong."
Lin Layue stopped and asked, "Where?"
"A little higher, no, a little to the left, a little to the right..."
Dai Jun was giving orders from below, and Lin Layue followed his instructions, but no matter how much he tried, he still couldn't get it right.
He looked at the neatly laid tiles, frowned, climbed down from the roof and walked to the kitchen to take a look.
But he found that the roof was clearly fine and no light could come through. It was obvious that Dai Jun was giving blind orders.
He was a little unhappy, but he had to let Dai Jun take him there later, so he said nothing and said, "Okay, let's go."
Dai Jun didn't move, just stared at him, "Master Lin, are you dizzy?"
Seeing that he was talking about something else, Lin Layue knew that he was not going to see her off, so she turned cold and left.
But as soon as I walked out of the kitchen, the world started spinning and I couldn't even tell which direction I was going.
It was only then that he discovered that the gate to the courtyard had been locked at some point.
Lin Layue suddenly felt something was wrong and turned back with a sharp gaze, "What do you want to do?"
One hand quietly touched the old mop next to it.
Dai Jun noticed his movements and hid behind the door, not wanting to go out. He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, it's a good thing."
"My sister likes you. You can stay and be a live-in son-in-law. When you have a baby next year, mom and dad will immediately buy you a house in the city. From now on, you will have a city hukou. How about that?"
Lin Layue looked unhappy.
Dai Jun snorted coldly upon seeing this, "You are lucky that my sister likes you. I advise you not to be ungrateful!"
On the other side, Dai Yao also quietly peeked out from behind the door, her cheeks blushing, "Brother, why are you saying so much?"
She looked at Lin Layue shyly and said, "Please stay. I really like you."
There was nothing Lin Layue didn't understand. There must be something wrong with the bowl of herbal tea. Filled with anger, she picked up the old mop and rushed over.
Dai Yao screamed and quickly locked the door.
Dai Jun also slammed the door shut. "Lin Layue, you can't escape. Be good and obedient. We, your brother and sister, will show mercy and let you suffer less!"
…
Gu Nan turned off the fire, served the soup, and looked at the time again.
It's already past seven o'clock, and Lin Layue hasn't come back yet.
Buses usually don’t run late. Could it be that he didn’t have time to catch the last bus?
Gu Nan took out her cell phone, wondering if he would find her annoying if she called him again.
Before she could make up her mind, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in her mind.
Gu Nan was startled, "What's wrong?"
The system was also confused. Gu Nan’s plot tonight hadn’t even started yet, so how could the alarm be triggered?
When it checked, it was shocked.
[How did the passerby flesh plot trigger early? ! ! ! ]
…
Lin Layue had a splitting headache, her whole body was sore, and it felt like there was a lead ball hanging on her eyelids, falling uncontrollably.
He tried to open his eyes, but couldn't.
He gritted his teeth and slapped himself several times with all his strength, trying to stimulate his paralyzed nerves with the pain, but it was completely useless. His chaotic consciousness still sank irresistibly.
He growled and bit his wrist tightly.
He clenched his teeth and exerted force until blood flowed between his lips.
"Fuck! What a bastard!" Dai Jun covered the wound on his arm and cursed angrily, "You ungrateful thing!"
Dai Yao covered her burning cheeks and stomach, looking at Lin Layue who was still conscious, with a look of shock and fear.
She gave the strongest dose. An ordinary person would have fainted and left it to fate by now, but Lin Layue persisted until now by committing suicidal self-harm.
She and Dai Jun surrounded him, beat him, and tied him up, but they couldn't subdue him.
When he fought back, he was like a mad dog. He would rather hurt the enemy by 800 and lose 1,000 of his own money than not give them a hard bite and kick.
Now he was sitting in the corner, covered in blood, his fierce and cold eyes like a hungry wolf ready to pounce and bite her throat, which made people terrified. He no longer had the handsome and elegant look he had before.
She was really scared, "Brother, let's just forget it, don't let anyone get killed."
Dai Jun was bitten all over and was unwilling to accept it.
He looked sinister and cursed loudly, "Fuck Lin Layue! That little bastard who turned into a dog bit me like this. Today, either I get the job done or I kill him!"
Dai Yao wanted to persuade him, "Brother..."
Dai Jun was filled with hatred and pushed her to the ground, "Get away! Don't block the way!"
He picked up the hammer on the ground and walked towards Lin Layue step by step.
