I missed you so much...
"I'll definitely let you go back to the city next year..."
"Let me kiss you..."
The boy peeked through the window of the dilapidated house and saw two people having sex inside.
Then he heard intermittent sounds coming from the background, and his heart raced; he wanted to keep watching.
The boy poked his head out of the window and saw Feng Chao pinning Wu Zhiqing down, the two of them engaging in illicit relations.
The boy covered his mouth in surprise. According to seniority, he should call Feng Chao "uncle".
But the once handsome and respected Mr. Feng Chao is now...
The boy was afraid that the two people inside would find him, so he tried to sneak away.
Unexpectedly, Wu Lili had already noticed him.
Wu Lili's mind was not on Feng Chao at all, so she noticed the boy immediately.
Seeing that the boy had disappeared through the window, she nudged Feng Chao, who was working hard on her.
"Someone saw it and ran away."
Wu Lili calmly told Feng Chao about this, and Feng Chao hurriedly got off her.
"Did you see who it was?"
"It seems to be from the supply and marketing cooperative. Isn't that a relative of yours?"
Wu Lili's words made Feng Chao even more nervous. He pulled up his pants and glanced out the window.
The boy was afraid of disturbing the two people inside the house, so he didn't dare to run too fast. He had just left the dilapidated house.
Feng Chao gave chase and pinned the boy to the ground as he ran out of the toilet.
"Teacher Feng, I don't know anything, I didn't see anything, Teacher Feng..."
The boy lay on the ground in fear, begging for mercy. His tears quickly flowed into the ground and disappeared.
Feng Chao lowered his voice and whispered in the boy's ear, "Little Zhu, your uncle wants to talk to you about something. Be good!"
This was the first and only time the boy had ever seen Feng Chao like this.
Not long after, a fire broke out at the supply and marketing cooperative.
The fire was so intense that by the time the teachers at the nearby school saw it, they were already unable to get in.
The villagers spontaneously carried water to put out the fire, but the fire was so big that they didn't know if anyone was inside.
Lin Qingyu also came with Gu Shi to help put out the fire. When she came at noon, everything was fine.
Someone nearby said, "I wonder if anyone's inside? It seems like the Zhang family's kid is on duty today?"
"Yes! I haven't seen that child yet, he must be... sigh!"
Lin Qingyu quickly pulled Gu Shi aside and said, "There are people inside. I came to buy things at noon, and there was a child inside!"
Gu Shi looked at the sea of fire; it was impossible to get in. Even if there were people there, they were probably all gone by now.
Lin Qingyu only realized what was happening when she saw that Gu Shi hadn't moved.
She pulled Gu Shi to a less crowded place, hugged him, and said, "I didn't mean for you to go in and save people. I just... I just felt it was a pity."
In this situation, she certainly wouldn't ask Gu Shi to go in and save people; wouldn't that be suicide?
"I just felt sorry for that child, he looked about the same age as Weidong..."
Gu Shi comforted her, saying, "That's just his bad luck, don't overthink it."
Only after the fire was extinguished did anyone dare to go inside.
They then discovered the boy's body inside; it was charred beyond recognition, and the only clues were his partially burned clothes.
The boy's parents knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, "My son! You finally found work, how could you lose your life like this!"
"My poor child! Someone please save me!"
The villagers could only watch helplessly as the fire raged on until it was discovered, and there was nothing they could do.
Everyone worked together to help the boy's parents pack up the child's body, watching the family weep and take the child home.
Back then, in situations like this, nobody would usually call the police.
There was an old man in the village who knew a little about fire. After examining the residue, he concluded that the fire had started from a spilled kerosene in the house.
At the time, only the boy was there, and no one knew what had happened, so they could only listen to the old man's analysis.
Because the Ghost Festival (July 15th of the lunar calendar) is approaching, there's a lot of paper money piled up inside the supply and marketing cooperative. I wonder if it's because of that.
Before leaving, Lin Qingyu glanced at the scene one last time; she genuinely felt sorry for the child.
I walked around the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, but I couldn't see anything. Besides, there were so many people earlier, so even if there were any clues, they would have been destroyed long ago.
Because she remembered that this event never happened in her previous life, could this event also be related to her rebirth?
But after she was reborn, she didn't do anything, except for not marrying Feng Chao!
But what if this matter is related to Feng Chao?
Lin Qingyu dared not think too much about it. Could Feng Chao really do such a thing? Especially since that child was a relative of his.
However, she then thought that she had died at his hands in her past life, so perhaps this matter really was related to him.
But she couldn't say anything about it; she had no evidence and was simply making baseless accusations against the village chief's son, Mr. Feng, a respected teacher in the village.
It's better not to bring it up then.
Lin Qingyu had no choice but to go home with Gu Shi. She was preoccupied with her own thoughts and didn't even notice that Gu Shi had stopped in front of her.
"Hey! Why aren't you moving? What are you doing standing here?"
Lin Qingyu covered her nose, which had been bumped, and tears streamed down her face.
Gu Shi turned to look at her, first touching her nose with concern, and then spoke.
"I noticed you seemed lost in thought the whole way, so I wanted to ask you something, but you didn't even look where you were going."
