"Dad?" Zhang Zhiqiang was stunned.
It was supposed to be Zhou Zhixin who came in, so how did it become his father? Fortunately, he showed mercy and didn't use all his strength, otherwise, Zhou Chunping's head would have been split open.
"Hiss~!" Zhou Chunping touched the big swelling on his head, a look of pain on his face.
So this is what it feels like to be hit by a club?
"Second brother, come and help me." Zhou Zhigang was almost exhausted. Seeing his father and younger brother, one was blocking the door in a daze, and the other was standing inside the door in a daze, with no intention of asking for help at all, he quickly called out.
"Oh." Zhang Zhiqiang responded quickly, put down the stick in his hand and ran over.
Seeing a figure lying limply on Zhou Zhigang's back, Zhang Zhiqiang was startled and asked, "Is it my third brother?"
Neither Zhou Chunping nor Zhou Zhigang said anything. Zhou Zhigang shoved "Zhou Zhixin" from his back into Zhang Zhiqiang's arms, walked to the door of the east wing of Widow He's house, and called out, "Lili."
After a series of rustling sounds were heard from inside the door, Liu Moli got down from the ground.
"Don't turn on the lights." Zhou Zhigang ordered.
At this time, the moon was still hidden in the dark clouds, and Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Chunping could only see an outline when they faced each other.
Zhou Zhigang couldn't help but feel relieved. It was pitch black, which was a good thing. Liu Moli couldn't see anything clearly, so naturally she wouldn't notice that Zhou Zhixin was dead. Liu Moli wasn't someone to be trifled with. Without the huge incentive of returning to the city, it was hard to say whether she would cooperate with him.
Zhang Zhiqiang held Zhou Zhixin horizontally in his arms and felt the person in his arms become a little stiff. He didn't think too much about it, but just followed Zhou Zhigang's instructions, carried the person into Liu Moli's room, and placed him on the bed where Liu Moli slept.
After finishing their work, several people were about to retreat when Zhou Zhigang suddenly remembered something and called out, "Wait a minute."
Although Zhou Chunping and Zhang Zhiqiang didn't understand what Zhou Zhigang wanted to do, they still stopped.
Zhou Zhigang turned around and went into Liu Moli's room, and in the dark he took off all the clothes of "Zhou Zhixin". Perhaps "Zhou Zhixin" had not been dead for long, and his body was still a little warm.
Zhou Zhigang quickly ripped off all of "Zhou Zhixin's" clothes. When only a pair of underwear was left, Zhou Zhigang hesitated for a moment, but still stripped him naked.
"Zhou Zhigang, why is this person so quiet?" Liu Moli finally realized what she felt was wrong. From the moment she entered the room until now, the person Zhou Zhigang brought in hadn't made a single sound. Could he be dead?
"I gave him some medicine and he fainted. Don't worry, he will wake up after dawn." Zhou Zhigang lied with his eyes open.
"You have to tell me who this is? Otherwise I'll quit." Liu Moli remembered what Widow He had warned her today and asked quickly.
"Don't worry, I just want to teach my third brother who is a soldier a lesson and make him agree to ask his father-in-law to resolve the issue of your return to the city." Zhou Zhigang hurriedly found a reason that sounded good.
"That's good." Liu Moli finally felt relieved. She was really afraid that she would be sold out by Zhou Zhigang and have to count the money for him. Liu Moli had heard of Zhou Zhixin and the abilities of Zhao Qingshan, Zhou Zhixin's father-in-law.
Zhou Zhigang pulled the quilt over the naked "Zhou Zhixin." Afterward, he instructed Liu Moli, "Lili, remember, when the sun rises, you must strip naked and scream."
"What? I have to take off my clothes? No!" Liu Moli refused outright. Zhou Zhigang hadn't said that yesterday afternoon, so why would he escalate the situation at this moment? How could that be possible?
"Are you stupid? Just take off your clothes and wrap yourself in a quilt. I'll give you an extra hundred yuan after we're done tomorrow." Zhou Zhigang was unhappy.
"Okay." Liu Moli gritted her teeth and agreed. Things had already come to this point, and even if she didn't agree, she couldn't get Zhou Zhigang to agree. She might as well take more money and start a new life somewhere where no one knew her.
After dealing with Liu Moli, Zhou Zhigang followed Zhou Chunping and the others out of Widow He's house.
On the big camphor tree, Zhou Zhixin was watching what was happening below with a sullen expression. Although he couldn't hear what Zhou Zhigang and the others were saying, he saw everything they did.
When Zhou Chunping and Zhou Zhigang insisted he eat the bowl of noodles with "additives," Zhou Zhixin had already become suspicious. He thought they were just hiding something from him, and even wondered if Zhou Chunping was trying to drug him and search him for money. He had no idea they were planning to kill him.
Zhou Zhixin skillfully relieved some of the force of the two blows. At this moment, his head and shoulders were aching slightly, but his heart hurt even more.
If not for tonight's personal experience, Zhou Zhixin would never have imagined that Zhou Chunping and Zhou Zhigang would have murderous intentions towards him. Could it be that the father-son relationship of more than 20 years, the brotherhood of more than 20 years, was all fake?
Zhou Zhixin's heart was in turmoil. He really didn't understand what he had done wrong. Even if he followed Zhao Yunxiang back to Zhaojiagou, it was because Wu Jinfeng forced him to do so.
Zhao Yunxiang was forced to return to her parents' home by Wu Jinfeng, and Zhou Zhixin simply did not follow Wu Jinfeng in abusing his wife. Is this his "death crime"?
Seeing Zhou Zhixin's stunned expression, Zhou Yuanyuan glanced at him and curled her lips. After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yuanyuan reached out and tugged at the hem of Wen Ziqing's clothes beside her, and asked softly, "Is he stupid?"
Wen Ziqing shook his head. He wasn't stupid enough to say bad things about his future father-in-law in front of him. Although this father-in-law didn't seem very smart, he had a daughter who was too smart! The little girl was just complaining because she hated her father for being useless. If he really believed what the little girl said and slandered her father, he might be vindictive.
Zhou Zhixin was rescued by Wen Ziqing in the wasteland of Zhoujia Village. Taking advantage of the moment when Zhou Zhigang fell, Wen Ziqing replaced Zhou Zhixin.
After swapping out Zhou Zhixin, Wen Ziqing immediately brought him to the large camphor tree. Wen Ziqing was very fast, and when they returned to the camphor tree, Zhou Zhigang was groping on the ground, trying to find the "Zhou Zhixin" that had been thrown out!
Although the night was dark, it was nothing to Wen Ziqing and Zhou Yuanyuan.
Zhou Yuanyuan pulled out a few gleaming silver needles from somewhere and jabbed them at Zhou Zhixin a few times, causing him to vomit out the noodles in his stomach. The gleaming silver needles moved so fast at the little girl's fingertips that it was like an afterimage, dazzling Wen Ziqing.
