Chapter 14 Rain
The drizzle was like the sound of all things speaking. To Jiangchen, the surroundings were absolutely silent, as quiet as death.
Jiang Chen was in a trance and returned to the dim and narrow room of his previous life. After a day's work, his shoulders were red and swollen from being rubbed by the hemp rope, and his waist was sore. He had not eaten for three days and was dizzy with hunger.
At this moment, a group of people rushed in, shouting that they would beat him to death. He was forced to kneel in the village square.
The villagers surrounded him and spit on him, but in a few words he understood the whole story.
He "raped" a bride, who then committed suicide, and the family wanted him to die too.
He was very stupid in his previous life and still hoped that Li Huifen would speak up to save him.
That night, Li Huifen watched him grind beans with a stone mill. As long as Li Huifen spoke, he would be cleared of suspicion.
But Li Huifen said with certainty that he came home very late that night and acted stealthily.
In his previous life, he didn't understand why Li Huifen lied until his eyes swept over Jiang Xing who was hiding behind Li Huifen.
Jiang Xing's face turned pale and he didn't dare to look him in the eye. He understood everything in an instant.
He was beaten by more than a dozen people with sticks until he vomited blood. No one spoke up for him. The whole village was shouting for him to die.
Thinking of this, the curve of Jiang Chen's mouth grew wider and wider.
Jiang Xing appeared on the mountain road below, humming an obscene tune and looking very happy.
As long as he kicked the stone at his feet, it would take Jiang Xing's life, and no one would know that it was Jiang Chen who did it.
Jiang Xing walked to a fixed angle at the foot of the mountain.
Jiang Chen raised his foot and revealed an extremely morbid smile.
"it hurts."
An extremely soft cry of pain suddenly rang out.
The moment Jiang Chen was distracted, Jiang Xing passed by a fixed angle and missed the good opportunity to kill him.
He turned around and followed the woman's voice, only to see Ye Rou slumped down on the path down the mountain, holding her ankle.
His body was soaked by the rain, and his bamboo basket and straw hat fell to the side. He looked innocent and miserable.
Jiang Chen walked silently to Ye Rou. She was wearing a mask to hide her expression, but her eyes were exceptionally clear and bright, like a newborn lamb, innocent and lovable.
“Why are you going up the mountain when it’s raining?”
Jiang Chen's voice was extremely cold, with an inexplicable hoarseness and dryness, and it sounded eerie. However, his expression was exceptionally gentle, with a smile on his lips, which was extremely inconsistent and contradictory. Just like him, he was cruel and bloodthirsty, but he had his own bottom line.
Ye Rou's clothes on her back were soaked with cold sweat.
She didn't expect to meet Jiang Chen here.
Ye Rou explained tremblingly: "I, I picked up firewood."
It hadn't rained when she went up the mountain, but it suddenly started raining. She hurried down the mountain and didn't pay attention when she stepped on a mossy stone and fell.
Jiang Chen squatted in front of Ye Rou, reached out and lifted up her trouser leg. Seeing that her ankle was swollen like a big bun, the coldness in his eyes eased a little.
Ye Rou pushed his hand away and covered her ankle, "It hurts."
Jiang Chen held her hand, which was smooth, boneless, white, tender and delicate. She had changed again, her skin had become whiter.
He raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
He is indeed a little monster, his appearance changes every day.
interesting.
Ye Rou felt uncomfortable and wanted to withdraw her hand.
Jiang Chen grabbed her domineeringly, pulled her up, stared at her chest, and paused, "Isn't it boring to keep pestering her like this?"
Ye Rou lowered her head following his gaze. Her top was light in color and was wet and stuck to her body. She could clearly see the dark fabric wrapped around her chest several times!
Even more suffocating was the fact that the dark fabric had faded, soaking through the outer garment, leaving a circle of blue on the chest.
Ye Rou was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to jump off the mountain. Seeing Jiang Chen still staring at her, she said shyly, "Don't look!"
She covered her chest and retreated in panic, forgetting that her ankle was injured. The pain made her legs go limp and she fell into Jiang Chen's arms.
The soft and fragrant body fell into Jiang Chen's arms. The smile on his lips paused, and his thick Adam's apple rolled.
Ye Rou stood firm and crawled out of Jiang Chen's arms, standing on one leg.
He turned his head around and saw a wooden stick on the side of the road, and jumped over on one foot.
Jiang Chen stopped her, "You sprained your ankle, why are you jumping around?"
Ye Rou said, "I'll find a stick to lean on to get down the mountain."
"No need." Jiang Chen grabbed Ye Rou's slender wrist, turned around and pulled her onto his back.
The slender and soft body pressed against the hard muscles.
Ye Rou's chin hit his shoulder hard, and she gasped in pain, her facial features wrinkled.
Jiang Chen walked down the mountain.
Ye Rou hugged Jiang Chen's neck and whispered in his ear, "My hat and bamboo basket."
Jiang Chen paused, picked up the hat and bamboo basket, put the straw hat on Ye Rou's head, and held the bamboo basket in his hand.
The rain was still falling, but a little lighter.
Ye Rou lay on Jiang Chen's back like a cricket pupa, rubbing her soft body against him.
Jiang Chen got annoyed and stopped, slapping her butt with his free hand. "What are you moving around for?"
Ye Rou explained: "I'll shield you from the rain."
Jiang Chen couldn't see her face, but he could guess what she looked like: aggrieved and pitiful.
"No need to block it for me." Jiang Chen refused.
Ye Rou leaned on his shoulder and asked curiously, "Why are you going up the mountain when it's raining?"
Jiang Chen stopped and looked at the figure in front of him and said coldly: "Kill the pig."
Ye Rou frowned slightly, not understanding.
At this time, she heard someone singing obscene songs in front of her, which was vulgar and obscene.
And the lyrics are very familiar, as if I have seen them somewhere.
A bolt of thunder struck.
Ye Rou's body stiffened. She knew why Jiang Chen went up the mountain. He came to kill people!
In his previous life, Jiang Xing raped the bride at the wedding and forced her to commit suicide. Afterwards, Jiang Xing put the blame on Jiang Chen.
The groom's family tied up Jiang Chen and wanted to shoot him.
Jiang Chen fled to the town overnight, but was met by human traffickers, who abducted him and sold him to the Xishan illegal mine.
In the book, Jiang Chen was reborn, and the first person he killed was Jiang Xing. He smashed him to death with a big rock, making it look like an accidental death caused by a mudslide during rain.
Ye Rou looked at Jiang Xing who was jumping around in front of her, and the smile on her face froze. She seemed to have ruined Jiang Chen's revenge plan.
She tensed up slightly and dared not speak to Jiang Chen anymore, fearing that he would be angry and punish her for multiple crimes, and then throw her into the ravine.
——
Jiang Chen threw the wet Ye Rou on the bed in the clinic and placed the bamboo basket and straw hat beside the bed.
He pulled the quilt to cover her chest.
Ye Rou took her hand out and put it outside.
Jiang Chen squeezed her hand and stuffed it back into the quilt.
Ye Rou was puzzled and slapped the quilt with her hands.
Jiang Chen looked at her as if she were a naughty little animal. He patiently held her hand and tucked it back into the quilt.
Ye Rou wanted to take it out again.
Jiang Chen leaned over and pressed down the corners of the quilt, covering Ye Rou tightly like a net, and whispered: "Did you do it on purpose?"
He was too close, so close that Ye Rou felt uneasy.
She turned her head and said uncomfortably: "I won't move, let me go."
Doctor Liu came out of the pharmacy and saw Jiang Chen pressing on the little girl. He covered his eyes exaggeratedly and said, "Oh my."
Jiang Chen loosened the corner of the quilt.
Doctor Liu was afraid that the boy would touch the girl, so he pushed him away and stood in front of Ye Rou.
"Girl, you're here again."
Ye Rou wore a mask and her eyes curved, "Uncle Liu, I'm sorry to trouble you."
This sentence made Dr. Liu very happy, and he smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face spread out. "It's not a big deal."
Ye Rou seemed to glance behind Dr. Liu unintentionally, but Jiang Chen was not there.
He left quietly again.
Doctor Liu noticed Ye Rou's gaze and a secret smile appeared on his lips.
He applied ointment to Ye Rou's ankle, wrapped it with clean gauze, and instructed: "It's sprained too badly, you need to rest for a few days."
Ye Rou sprained her ankle on purpose. Although it was very painful and she was scolded by Zhao Xiulan, she was inexplicably in a good mood. A heavy rain washed away her stress and gloom.
