Chapter 46
The Public Security Bureau’s visits became more and more frequent, and many villagers were questioned individually.
"Guiying, what did the public security comrades call your Dapao over to ask last time?"
"Hey, if we don't find the murderer quickly, I'll have to ask my head of the household to accompany me even when I get up at night."
"This heart is always on my mind."
"You said there's someone hiding among us. How dangerous are we all?"
"yes?"
"But I guess it will be soon."
"The nearest village around here is three miles away."
"It's the middle of the night, it's unlikely that outsiders would come."
"The police are investigating right now. They say they've figured out the killer's gender, height, and other things based on the autopsy."
"If we check them one by one, soon..."
Chen Chuntao lowered her head and listened to the discussions in the surrounding Intelligence Communication Bureau, her heart shrinking again and again.
Taking advantage of the time to relieve himself and while no one was paying attention, he rushed into the woods.
After a while, they appeared on another hill.
"Brother Gangzi?"
The man who was swinging the hoe vigorously was shocked and his sharp eyes swept around vigilantly.
Then he strode forward and took Chen Chuntao's hand and hid in the cedar forest next to them.
"What are you doing here in broad daylight?"
"Brother Gangzi, I'm here to tell you some good news."
Chen Chuntao tilted her head back, smiled sweetly, her eyes full of the man in front of her.
"I have it again."
"This time feels very different from last time. I have a feeling this baby will definitely be a son."
The man was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes burst into great surprise.
"You, you said you are pregnant?"
"A son? Mine?"
"Yes, Brother Gangzi, I am pregnant with your son."
"That's great! Our Liu family has a successor." Liu Pinggang rubbed his hands excitedly.
"But, Brother Gangzi, I'm so worried."
"This kid came at the wrong time."
"The police are investigating Xiao Hu's case very closely. I heard they already have a lot of evidence."
"I'm so scared."
"I'm fine myself."
"Now that we have our son, what will happen to him if the police find out?"
Chen Chuntao's face was full of worry, and she began to choke up as she spoke.
Liu Pinggang hurriedly comforted Chen Chuntao.
"Chun Tao, please stop crying. Crying too much is not good for the baby."
"Don't be afraid. I won't let anyone hurt our son."
"Now that I've done this, I've prepared for the worst."
"Mrs. Xiao killed my daughter, so her family should be buried with me, Yanyan."
"There's no way I'll ever be able to turn things around in this lifetime. My life is a mess."
"It would be great if I could leave a descendant for my Liu family."
"You go back first!"
"It would be bad if others found out. I'll think carefully about what to do next."
Chen Chuntao was reluctant to leave and walked away at Liu Pinggang's urging, looking back every few steps.
As soon as he turned around, the affection on his face disappeared, leaving only disgust.
Liu Pinggang, male, 30 years old, is the youngest son of Liu Wangcai, the former landlord of Gaotang Village.
After liberation, the evil Liu Wangcai was defeated, and his family members died or were scattered.
In the entire Liu family, only Liu Pinggang is left, barely surviving.
In Gaotang Brigade, I did the most tiring work and earned the lowest work points.
On weekdays, the secretary arranged for him to open up wasteland in the mountains, and at night he lived next to the cowshed to look after the cows.
One day, when Chen Chuntao was hiding from the rain on her way home from work, he caught her and raped her.
Later, she was harassed by him frequently. In order to avoid him, she lied that Yanyan in her belly was his child.
Unexpectedly, although Liu Pinggang was a lazy son, he attached great importance to his offspring.
He thought that he had no hope of getting married in this life, so in order to let Chen Chuntao give birth to a child safely, he really never looked for her once.
He would even secretly send some food to Chen Chuntao occasionally.
After Yanyan was suffocated to death, he felt that his only hope was extinguished, and the resentment that had been suppressed in his heart for more than ten years burst out in an instant.
Chen Chuntao hated the Xiao family to the core, and knew how much Liu Pinggang valued offspring, so she took advantage of this.
Not only did she hate the Xiao family, she hated Liu Pinggang even more.
Liu Pinggang and the Xiao family are not good people.
She knew that Xiao Hu's affairs would be exposed sooner or later.
In recent years, Liu Pinggang has been like an invisible man in Gaotang Brigade, but one day he will be found.
She arranged this today so that Liu Pinggang would be cautious when he arrived.
After walking a few steps, Chen Chuntao suddenly started vomiting while holding onto a tree branch.
After a while, she pretended to be weak, protected her stomach with her hands, and staggered to the other side.
Just as she walked a short distance, Liu Ping came out from behind a tree with a serious expression on his face.
"It seems she didn't lie to me and is really pregnant."
“I have a son!!”
“Hehehehe!”
Only a small half of the setting sun's face is still hanging between the horizon.
Chen Haiying sat by the river, swinging his fishing rod with great effort.
As the sky grew darker, she became more and more restless.
Thinking that she had already blown the ox out yesterday, she had no choice but to continue her fishing career.
"Damn Chen Xiuxiang, you coward! You didn't even dare to accompany me. Don't even think about drinking my fish soup tonight."
A figure approached quickly from behind.
Chen Haiying seemed to sense something and looked back in confusion.
Plop~
Before she could see clearly what was happening, a strong impact threw her into the river.
"Mmmmm, help~"
She slapped the water with her hands in panic. As soon as she surfaced, she felt something pressing against her back, pushing her to the bottom of the river.
"Chen Haiying, Chen Haiying~" A voice called from a distance.
He is the current head of the educated youth site, Liu Qunfu.
He didn't expect that Chen Haiying was provoked by Zhou Huijuan and really ran out to fish.
It was getting dark, and there had been frequent accidents in the village recently.
As the leader of the group, he had no choice but to come out and look for her in order to consider the overall situation.
The dark shadow by the river heard Liu Qunfu's call, anxiously threw away the fishing rod in his hand, and ran away quickly.
Chen Haiying, who was pressed to the bottom of the water, felt the strength on his back disappear, and quickly struggled to float to the surface.
"Help! Help! Help!"
"Someone killed someone~"
Chen Haiying, who had a close encounter with death, was so scared that his eyes were bloodshot.
"Hmph, you got it for free."
His fingers subconsciously reached into his pocket to touch the brown sugar.
My body stiffened.
The brown sugar cubes are gone.
Chen Chuntao's face turned pale, and a thin layer of sweat instantly appeared on her forehead.
He quickly returned to the well and poured out the clothes he had brought to wash and scattered them on the ground.
Then he hurried towards the cowshed.
Bang bang bang~
"Brother Gangzi, Brother Gangzi?"
With a creak, the door was half open, and Chen Chuntao cautiously crawled in.
"Brother Gangzi, let's run away."
"I heard that the public security officers found a bracelet in the reed marsh this afternoon."
"It's the one you missed last time."
"I was on my way to tell you the news when I was almost bumped into by Chen Haiying from the educated youth center. In my haste, I pushed her into the river."
"Oooooooh, something on me fell there."
