Chapter 623: The End of Changjia Village 7
Wang Honghong peeked out from the mine entrance, grinning mischievously, "Brother Jiang, are you and sister-in-law...did they get along?"
Ye Rou heard them lingering at the entrance of the mine and pushed Jiang Chen away a second before they came in.
Jiang Chen was very unhappy about being interrupted suddenly. He refused to let Ye Rou go and pretended to have a headache. He buried his face in the side of Ye Rou's neck and breathed heavily: "...Headache."
"Why do you have a headache?" Ye Rou's expression suddenly became nervous, and she raised her hand to feel his pulse.
As she came closer, Jiang Chen kissed the corner of her eye and said, "Kiss it and it won't hurt."
"Jiang Chen!" Ye Rou's face turned red. When she thought about being seen by Wang Honghong and Meng Guan, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Her face plus the mask, the two together, are not as thick-skinned as Jiang Chen's.
"Don't do that anymore..." Ye Rou covered Jiang Chen's mouth with her hand.
Her voice was so low and shy that she swallowed the first two words "kiss" immediately, leaving them vague and implicit.
Jiang Chen lowered his eyes and stared at Ye Rou. His narrow eyes held a smile as he licked the palm of Ye Rou's hand viciously.
Hot and moist soft...
“!”
Ye Rou suddenly withdrew her hand.
Jiang Chen leaned against the mountain wall, raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Ye Rou's face felt so hot as if she had rolled in boiling water.
Wang Honghong and Meng Guan were completely unaware of the two people's private actions.
When Wang Honghong heard Brother Jiang say "kiss", she moved lightly to Meng Guan's side and muttered, "Brother Jiang is so corny..."
Meng Guan glanced at him and saw that he was saying some corny words but his face was full of longing, so he curled his lips.
"You're just saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them."
Wang Honghong was completely confused and looked around: "What grapes? Where are there grapes?"
“…”
I forgot this guy never went to school for a day.
Meng Guan brought back the topic of running to grandma's house and said to Jiang Chen with a serious face, "Except Liao Zhao, everyone else has been brought back."
Ye Rou's face turned cold, "Is this Liao Zhao the one who poisoned you?"
Jiang Chen was just about to ask for his wife's sympathy when Wang Honghong, the clueless fellow, jumped out excitedly, gesticulating and saying, "Sister-in-law, you don't know..."
"That bastard is really vicious. He couldn't beat Brother Jiang, so he even smeared poison on the knife."
He became more and more excited as he spoke, and moved closer and closer. Suddenly, there was a sound of dead leaves being stepped on under his feet.
Wang Honghong was stunned and moved her foot away, only to find that she had stepped on the mask that Brother Jiang had already taken off.
I thought of the scene where Brother Jiang’s mask instantly shrank after he was poisoned.
Wang Honghong recounted the situation at the time: "Sister-in-law, why did the mask become dry?"
Ye Rou: "This mask helped absorb some of the poison."
If it weren't for the pills made by Lingquan and this mask, Jiang Chen probably wouldn't have survived until she arrived.
Thinking of this, fear welled up in my heart.
Ye Rou held Jiang Chen's hand, touched the thin calluses on his fingertips, puffed up her face, and spoke in a fierce tone.
"I will definitely bring that guy back to avenge you."
Jiang Chen cooperated by pretending to be weak and pitiful, and said in a dramatic way: "Wife, I'll wait."
Ye Rou was amused.
The other two said they couldn't bear to watch: "..."
Jiang Chen didn't care about other people's eyes at all, he just wanted to be close to his wife.
Seeing his wife smile, he became more and more demanding and wanted to ask for a "reward". Just as he was about to make a move, another ignorant person came in and interrupted him.
"Ahem." Old Man Chang stood at the entrance of the mine and warned, "There's a quarrel down there."
Jiang Chen has not recovered yet and needs to rest, so Ye Rou takes Meng Guan downstairs.
Wang Honghong stayed to accompany Jiang Chen, sitting cross-legged with a carefree expression. Her hair, which hadn't been washed for three days and was so oily it could be used for cooking, chuckled and said, "Brother Jiang..."
The rest of his words came to an abrupt end after he saw Brother Jiang's expression.
Jiang Chen touched the strip of cloth wrapped around his wrist—Ye Rou had wrapped it to hide the wound's healing status.
After all, it was a wound so deep that the bone was visible. It would be strange if it healed so quickly.
Jiang Chen touched his intact wrist through the cloth, his eyes dark, "Tell me what happened after I was poisoned."
"ah?"
Wang Honghong took a moment to react before saying, "You and Liao Zhao had a fight, and you fainted from the poison..."
He tried to recall: "I took the pills my sister-in-law gave me, and then...Brother Jiang, it seems like you started having nightmares."
Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly turned sharp: "Go on."
"That's right, you were talking nonsense about the mine, Zero... all sorts of nonsense, and then no matter how much I called you, I wouldn't wake you up."
Wang Honghong pointed at the bloodstained clothes she had changed out of. "You're still biting your wrist so hard, even Men Guan and I can't hold you back."
"If my sister-in-law hadn't arrived in time, and he had been poisoned and bled so much..." Wang Honghong didn't say the unlucky words.
Jiang Chen's expression was gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After a while, seeing that Wang Honghong didn't say anything, he urged: "And then?"
Wang Honghong spread her hands and said, "After my sister-in-law came, she asked me and Men Guan to leave."
Jiang Chen's face darkened when he thought of the fishy-sweet taste that remained in his mouth when he woke up.
When Ye Rou and Meng Guan went downstairs, there was a loud noise downstairs.
"Shut up!" Seeing his sister-in-law frown, Meng Guan picked up a steel pipe and smashed it on the coal cart.
The sound of "clang" startled everyone. They glared at the ugly woman with strange strength, but when they saw her, they swallowed their complaints and squatted down with their heads in their hands, like gray mushrooms.
"What are you arguing about?"
Meng Guan's question was like stirring up a hornet's nest. The people below started chattering one after another, making it difficult for everyone to react.
"Bang!" Meng Guan knocked again, waited until everything was quiet, and looked at his sister-in-law.
Ye Rou rubbed her brows and said indifferently, "Pick one person to speak."
The quarrel was mainly between the supervisors and local miners, while the abducted miners watched the fun from the side.
A bystander can see things more clearly. Meng Guan's eyes lit up: "Old Wu, you tell me."
Old Wu stood up on his knees and concluded, "These supervisors felt that the local miners were causing the chaos at the mine, and that they were arrested as a result. The local miners heard the curses against Zhao Shan's early death, and they started arguing with each other, each unwilling to give in."
"They are just servile and want to be scolded!" A local miner was so angry that he stood up and cursed in the direction of the squatting supervisor.
"What I said was wrong. If you hadn't caused trouble, things wouldn't be like this now!" The supervisor was also unconvinced and stood up and cursed back.
More and more people stood up, and the noise became louder and louder.
Meng Guan knocked on the steel pipe, but it was no use.
The quarrel grew more intense, and the two groups bumped into each other and even started fighting.
Meng Guan tried to think of a way to quiet them down, but couldn't think of a way to do it.
At this moment, the steel pipe in his hand was suddenly pulled away, and a piece of clothing passed by his eyes.
Meng Guan turned around in horror and saw the steel pipe being thrown out like a javelin.
Under everyone's stunned gaze, it pierced the mountain wall with a "bang".
Two-thirds of the steel pipe was embedded in the wall, and the tail vibrated, making a buzzing sound.
Everyone was stunned, as if their necks were suddenly strangled.
The entire mine was completely silent.
Meng Guan froze.
What did he see?
Sister-in-law, did you insert the steel pipe into the mountain wall?
This is a stone cliff, not tofu!
Is this the strength a human can possess?
Meng Guan got goosebumps all over his body.
Old man Chang, who came to join in the fun but didn't get close, saw the whole scene.
His legs went weak and he sat down on the ground.
"Good heavens."
Everyone looked at the standing woman again, filled with horror and fear.
And under everyone's gaze, Ye Rou...
Yawning.
She stretched herself lazily, looking tired, as if she didn't realize what horrible thing she had done.
He brushed the loose dirt off his hands, his eyes clear of any emotion as he scanned everyone, and in a gentle and calm voice, he warned, "Stop arguing."
Everyone immediately pursed their lips, squatted down with their heads in their hands, and wished they could bury themselves in the cracks of the ground, for fear of being noticed by the woman.
The problem was solved perfectly and Ye Rou left happily.
The mine was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and the faint smell of urine reminded everyone of what had just happened.
No one dared to look up at the steel pipes above their heads. It was a crushing deterrent.
