At 10 o'clock in the evening, all the lights in every household were turned off.
There is not much entertainment in Tieshan Village. Everyone goes to bed early in the evening. By 11 o'clock, all the dogs in the village have returned to their shacks.
In the dead of night, two women pushed a cart towards the village entrance.
Su Man pushed the cart in front, Xiao Feng pushed it in the back, and although A Di was small, she also tried her best to help push the cart.
As for why they pushed instead of drove, it was because the tricycle was diesel-powered, making a lot of noise and not very fast. If someone spotted it, they would have no chance of escaping.
Su Man and A Di chose to walk in shady places and pushed the car all the way out. Needless to say, they were very scared.
The journey was smooth. Seeing the stone tablet at the entrance of the village, Su Man loosened his hands, which were bleeding from holding the handlebars for a long time.
Just a little further and they would be free.
Su Man rubbed the sweat on her palms on her pants and wanted to push it out in one go. She pushed it once but it didn't move. She turned around and saw Xiao Feng looking in the direction of the village, her face hidden in the darkness, obscure and unclear.
"Stop looking and let's go."
Looking at the faintly rising flames, Xiao Feng lowered his eyes and said, "Let's go."
Just as they were about to leave Tieshan Village, a person suddenly jumped out from behind a tree.
The moon was obscured by dark clouds, so I couldn't see the other person's face clearly. I could only see that he was extremely tall and must be a man.
Su Man's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, she and Xiao Feng were pushing the cart. Even if she was eloquent, she would not be able to defend herself.
Su Man retreated silently, her hand touching the knife she had taken from Zhao Jiashun behind the car seat, intending to fight to the death.
The other party took a few steps forward, and just as Su Man was about to take the initiative, a male voice rang out, "I found you."
The moonlight fell on the face of the person who came, and it was Li Caizhe.
Su Man's heart dropped into her stomach, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
Xiaofeng was not much better than Suman. Her legs were so weak that she had to hold on to the cart to stand.
"Xiao Wen, why don't you speak? Please don't ignore me, okay?"
Su Man looked at the road behind her, then looked at him, "Have you been following us?"
Li Caizhe nodded, he stepped forward and grabbed Su Man's hand, "Xiao Wen, I'll take you with me, let's go."
He took two steps with Su Man, but Su Man shook his hand off. She looked at Li Caizhe's half-asleep face and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Although both of them were crazy, the previous Li Caizhe was extremely crazy. He spoke and acted without any rules and was emotionally agitated and irritable.
But after being provoked by Li Laosi yesterday, he seemed to become much quieter.
But he is even more different today. He doesn’t seem crazy, but more like he is stubbornly living in his own world.
Su Man understood something, and she said in a deep voice, "I'm not Xiao Wen, you know."
"No, Xiaowen, you are still blaming me, right? I was wrong, I'm sorry, can I take you away now?"
"not good."
If she had not heard the story of Li Caizhe and Xiaowen, she would have been willing to cooperate with him to fulfill his dream of taking Xiaowen away because Li Caizhe had helped her.
But as soon as Su Man thought about how Xiaowen's life was lost because of his momentary cowardice, she didn't want to do it anymore.
Xiaowen is dead, and as the instigator, Li Caizhe has long lost the qualification to make amends.
Thinking of this, Su Man simply said, "Li Caizhe, I am not Xiaowen. Xiaowen is dead."
Li Caizhe seemed to be shocked. He shook his head frantically, "No, Xiaowen is not dead. We are getting married soon. Xiaowen will not die."
He grabbed Su Man's shoulders with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to crush her. "Xiao Wen, you want me to take you away, right? You said, let me take you away. I'll take you away now, okay? Let's go now."
"Xiao Wen, let's start over. I'll listen to you this time. I don't want my mom or my brother anymore. I only want you, Xiao Wen..."
Li Caizhe's words were incoherent, but his distracted eyes slowly focused.
Suman knew that his mind had returned.
She pushed Li Caizhe's hand away and said calmly, "Li Caizhe, instead of living in the illusion that Xiaowen is not dead, why not think about what else you can do."
After saying that, Suman pushed the handlebars again.
behind
Li Caizhe knelt on the ground, holding his head and crying bitterly.
"Xiao Wen..."
-
"That's about it, we can go now."
After walking a little further, Su Man lifted her leg and stepped onto the motorcycle. "You take care of A-Di and Xiao Bao in the back, and I'll drive."
“Thump, thump, thump…”
The tricycle was driving on the dark road, with only weak headlights providing barely any illumination, but everyone on the vehicle knew that the sun would rise in a few hours.
It's almost dawn.
The blazing fire illuminated the dark night.
"Fire!"
"Old Zhao's house is on fire!"
The exclamations woke up the sleeping Tieshan Village.
The villagers who heard the noise came, some holding basins, some holding buckets, and rushed to Lao Zhao's house to put out the fire.
Under normal circumstances, the fire would have been put out in a short while, but now all the old men in the village were lying down, and there were few people who could help put out the fire. They could only watch helplessly as the flames engulfed the Zhao family's house.
Not only that, before lighting the fire, Su Man and Xiao Feng brought hay into the house and poured oil on it, ensuring that all the evil would be covered up by the fire. Zhao Laoliu's relatives came, but the fire was so big that no one dared to rush in.
Seeing the fire spreading, several women in their clothes became anxious, "Oh, why doesn't this person come out!"
"What's going on? The fire is so big, I think it's probably...ah."
"Oh my god, what's going on in our village? First, Li Laosan's child died, then something happened to Li Pozi's family, and Li Laosi fell into the water for no reason. Now it's Lao Zhao's family again. I'm afraid they're possessed by ghosts and used as scapegoats."
