Chapter 49: Stepping on the Trap
"See the shelter on the ground? Someone's dug animal traps around here. I don't know if there are any traps. Anyway, I often walk in the mountains, so I don't usually fall into traps. Whether you can avoid bad love affairs well depends on your luck."
This was actually a reminder to Lu Jingheng that there was a trap on the ground. If anything happened to Ye Lianlian, he would be the first to be suspected, and it would be difficult to explain to Secretary Ye.
"I don't care about that." Lu Jingheng pulled a piece of straw and stuffed it into his mouth. "Ye Lianlian is an adult. If anything happens to her, she will be responsible for it. What does it have to do with me? I'm a family man. I don't protect my own woman, so why would I protect her? I'm too lazy."
What do you mean by his own woman? Who is his woman?
Raising her eyes, Bai Yangfan glared at Lu Jingheng fiercely, as if she would strangle him to death if he dared to say the words again.
As soon as he saw the look in the woman's eyes, Lu Jingheng knew that he had offended her. He smiled foolishly: "Don't be angry, I'm right. We are married, and you are my woman."
When the word "you" was mentioned, Lu Jingheng had already jumped away, fearing that Bai Yangfan's "destroying" kick would hurt his little brother. He still remembered the last kick vividly, the pain was excruciating, and his heart trembled at the thought.
But he doesn't want to experience it again. He is afraid that if he does it again, he will lose the unique function of men.
It’s better to stay away.
Actually, Lu Jingheng was overthinking it. Bai Yangfan really didn't want to hit him. She was so used to hearing this guy constantly saying they were already married that she didn't find it irritating at all.
Lu Jingheng didn't dare to think so, for he was afraid that the woman would get angry and kick him, which would be really painful for him.
Ye Lianlian, who was hiding in the bushes nearby, watched Lu Jingheng and Bai Yangfan talking and laughing. She was so angry that she kept cursing, "Bitch! Bai Yangfan! You bitch! Why did you seduce my brother Jingheng?"
Fortunately, Bai Yangfan didn't hear it. If he had, he would definitely ask, "Ye Lianlian, are you blind? Who seduced who?"
Lu Jingheng would definitely raise his hand and answer: "I seduced my woman. She is not a bitch, I am the one."
The dog man walked away, and Bai Yangfan was too lazy to pay attention to him. After digging up the herbs on the ground, he picked up the backpack and went into the mountains.
Seeing that both of them had left, Ye Lianlian quickly stood up and followed them. Even though she knew they were going into the mountains, she was no longer afraid and insisted on following them.
People who are following others always like to look left and right to explore, and have no time to look at their feet.
It was Ye Lianlian's bad luck. As soon as she kicked the ball, she heard a "click" sound, followed by a piercing pain.
His right foot was caught in a trap, and bright red blood flowed down the sole of his foot to the ground.
Ye Lianlian could no longer pretend to be in so much pain. She screamed "Ah" and cried heart-wrenchingly, like a ghost howling.
Bai Yangfan pretended not to hear and continued looking for her own herbs. She had just told the bad man that if anything really happened to Ye Lianlian, she would not help.
Lu Jingheng didn't really want to pay attention. Ye Lianlian was an adult. Who told her to follow him to the mountains for no reason? Did he think they were just playing? They had a mission.
The woman who likes to sneak around behind their backs should be taught a lesson.
"Ah! Brother Jingheng! Save me! Brother Jingheng! Save me! I'm caught in a trap, and my leg is about to be broken. Brother Jingheng! I know you are here, I followed you here, save me!"
When someone called out his name, Lu Jingheng's face turned as dark as Bao Gong. He had never seen such a shameless woman before. She called a man's name so disgustingly in the wilderness, and in front of his woman.
He wanted to strangle her to death. He had warned her so many times not to call him Brother Jingheng, Brother Jingheng. Why couldn't she remember?
Was it intentional? He just couldn't believe that a grown man couldn't remember such a small thing.
It must have been intentional, with the purpose of making his woman angry and stay away from him.
If Ye Lianlian was a girl from an ordinary family, Lu Jingheng really wouldn't want to care about her, but she happened to be the daughter of Secretary Ye. He still had to stay in Liujia Village for a while, and he couldn't abandon her no matter what.
Stamping his feet, Lu Jingheng walked towards where Ye Lianlian was howling with an expression that said, "I owed you in my last life." Bai Yangfan's face was full of disdainful ridicule, and he looked extremely arrogant.
"So what? Did I hit the nail on the head? I told you to get rid of Ye Lianlian, but you refused to listen. In the end, you still have to send her down the mountain. If you don't clean up your bad love life yourself, who will help you?"
Glancing at the smug woman, Lu Jingheng smiled and pointed at her with his hatchet: "It's all your fault, you're such a badass. It's also Ye Lianlian's fault for being so clueless. She even stepped on a trap in broad daylight. Is there anyone in the village dumber than her?"
Bai Yangfan was happy to see the bastard being humiliated. Ye Lianlian was really a good helper. She was just tired of having that bastard Lu Jingheng around, so Ye Lianlian called him away.
This is the best. She will feel more comfortable being alone, right?
As soon as Lu Jingheng appeared, Ye Lianlian burst into tears and sobbed sadly. With a pout on her lips, she kept shouting, "Brother Jingheng! My feet hurt. It hurts so much. What should I do?"
Ignoring her, he squatted down and checked the trap. It was covered in rust and no longer had the sharp teeth it had when it was first made.
It is estimated that only the skin and flesh will be injured, and the bones will definitely not be hurt.
"Bear with the pain, I'll help you take the trap off." Lu Jingheng lifted Ye Lianlian's injured foot and took a look. "Don't scream so fiercely, it's not trapped, it's just a minor injury."
Ye Lianlian endured the pain, her teeth bared, her face twisted. Lu Jingheng often went on missions and encountered all kinds of situations. Taking away a trap was easy for him.
Before she even felt anything, the trap had been taken down. Ye Lianlian looked at her injured foot and asked aggrievedly, "Brother Jingheng! Can you take me back?"
"No." Lu Jingheng refused firmly, "I still have to accompany Yangfan. Your foot is not seriously injured. Just take a rest and go back! Also, don't call me Brother Jingheng in front of Yangfan.
I know you did it on purpose, trying to irritate her, but you overestimated yourself. She won't be angry at all, but will think you're still my bad luck charm. But you're obviously not. You're Liu Shanmao's wife, remember your identity."
Ye Lianlian felt heartbroken after being warned and humiliated by Lu Jingheng in person, and she simply burst into tears.
He frowned slightly, thinking that Ye Lianlian was really unreasonable. He hadn't done anything to her, so why was she crying?
Did he stay at the party because he cried so loudly?
Lu Jingheng didn't even bother to look at her, he just stood up and left.
As he walked away, he said, "If you keep crying, you'll attract wild beasts and that's your own fault."
