Chapter 66 Gu Yiye Dreams of His Past Life
"Shanshan..."
"Shanshan, don't be afraid..."
Gu Yiye's eyes were tightly closed, and his brows were furrowed, as if he were having a nightmare.
Lin Shanshan was woken up and gently patted Gu Yiye: "Brother Gu, wake up."
Gu Yiye was woken up by being slapped awake. He opened his eyes, which were bloodshot.
"Brother Gu, did you have a nightmare?"
Gu Yiye seemed to only truly wake up when he heard Lin Shanshan's voice. He hugged Lin Shanshan tightly and gently brushed his lips against her fair and slender neck.
Gu Yiye murmured, "Shanshan, Lin Shanshan, don't leave me..."
He craved the person in front of him so intensely that he almost pathologically inhaled his young wife's scent with each deep breath.
Lin Shanshan had never seen Gu Yiye so possessive before, and she nudged him uncomfortably, asking, "Gu Yiye, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Yiye said, "I dreamt about my past life."
“You died from poisoning. When I rushed over, your body was still warm. I just held you in my arms, and you slowly grew cold in my arms.”
"Shanshan, you must never leave my sight for the rest of your life. I can't lose you again."
"Shanshan! I will spoil you and never let you suffer even the slightest harm in this life."
Lin Shanshan gently hugged Gu Yiye, patted his back, and said, "Don't be afraid, it's all in the past. We'll be fine for the rest of our lives. We've cut off Yang Wenqing's black market business. She has no capital, and she can't harm my parents anymore."
Gu Yiye seemed to remember something and said, "In my past life, after I learned that your parents had been wronged by Yang Wenqing, I contacted my comrades in Haishi. Just when the truth was about to come out, Yang Wenqing poisoned me."
“In my past life, I dug a well at home. Yang Wenqing poisoned the well water when I was not home. I drank it for a few days and was fine at first, but then I couldn’t breathe and died painfully while I was fully conscious. It’s all my fault. I was too careless and died before I could seek justice for my father-in-law and mother-in-law.”
Listening to Gu Yiye's description, Lin Shanshan said, "Yang Wenqing probably gave you paraquat. Now that we've dug a well, do you think she might try the same trick again?"
Gu Yiye nodded: "Definitely, we need to take precautions."
Lin Shanshan frowned: "But we can't follow her around 24 hours a day."
Gu Yiye said, "Then let's set up a sting operation!"
"Um?"
Gu Yiye whispered a few words in Lin Shanshan's ear, and Lin Shanshan raised an eyebrow: "Okay, let's just wait for her to take the bait."
The two, already exhausted, fell asleep again. This time, Gu Yiye didn't have any nightmares and drifted off to sleep with his little wife in his arms.
Early in the morning, Gu Yiye got up quietly and went to work.
On the way, Gu Yiye, who was usually taciturn, greeted the villagers for the first time: "Uncle Zhang, we have built two wells at the west end of the village. The water in them is sweet. You can go there to fetch water to drink when you have time."
"Aunt Li, you're at work now? We've dug two wells at the west end. The water is sweet, and we use it to cook our own meals. Even the rice tastes better this way."
"Brother Wang, your house isn't far from the well I dug. You must try it. It's really delicious, even the tap water tastes good."
Gu Yiye walked and stopped frequently, deliberately raising his voice when passing the Yang family, just in case Yang Wenqing couldn't hear him.
Yang Wenqing, who was sulking inside because he had lost his hot pot, watch, and sanitary napkins, overheard this and came up with an idea.
"I'll let you drink until you're all drunk. As long as Lin Shanshan isn't eliminated, the things in my space will dwindle day by day, and I might even be killed by her. Now is a good opportunity, hmph!"
Yang Wenqing thought to himself that the best time to commit the crime would be when the night was deep and quiet!
