Chapter 42 Night Visit to the Cowshed
Chen Lan felt so wronged she wanted to cry. She had already gone through all this, yet Zhou Ye showed no mercy at all!
There was absolutely no compassion for doctors!
Hmph, you little brat, you'll regret this someday!
Wang Hongying tugged at Chen Lan's clothes, not daring to look at Zhou Ye and the others; she felt utterly ashamed!
"let's go!"
Wang Hongying quietly tried to dissuade her!
Chen Lan looked up and said, "I thought you were young and wanted to take care of you, but since you don't want to, I won't force you."
I just hope you won't regret it later!
Wang Hongying's face turned even redder!
He pulled at Chen Lan, trying to leave!
Chen Lan was angry when she saw Bai Xue staring at her. She was furious and said, "What are you looking at? You really know how to flatter! No wonder you keep calling me 'sister'."
So you just wanted to eat better food?
This is fish and meat; I think you're just acting like capitalists!
Bai Xue, you're just an exploited servant, yet you look so silly and happy. Do you think people respect you?
"It's just that we need someone to serve us!"
Chen Lan is becoming increasingly reckless with her words!
Bai Xue's eyes reddened with anxiety: "You're talking nonsense! I didn't flatter anyone! Sister Zhou and I are best friends!"
Su Yunzhou's expression also darkened. He was glad he hadn't gotten involved with the people in the front yard, otherwise he could have been involved in a lot of lawsuits!
Zhou also sneered: "You mean, as educated youth sent to the countryside to support construction, as working people, we are not entitled to eat meat and fish?"
Are we only left with coarse food and wild vegetables?
In your heart, who is qualified to eat?
Chen Lan's expression changed drastically: "Zhou Zhiqing, I didn't say that. I only said that Bai Xue was currying favor with you..."
"Flattery? We have a pure revolutionary friendship? Do you really misunderstand us like that? Or do you, Chen Lan, have some kind of collusion with the people in the front yard?"
Man or woman?
Or rather, is it both men and women?
I'm quite curious, what are you all conspiring for? Trying to frame your comrade? Is this how you behave?
Chen Lan was flustered and her forehead was covered in cold sweat. Her eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Zhou Ye.
I don't know if it's because I've been walking too much, or if it's just my imagination.
She actually felt the wound on her leg was hurting even more!
"You... Zhou Zhiqing, I haven't offended you. Saying this will get us killed!"
Chen Lan's voice began to tremble... Every word was shaking, and the last syllable seemed to linger...
Zhou Ye chuckled: "But...didn't you start it first?"
Her gaze was icy, like icicles in the dead of winter, deeply embedded in Chen Lan's internal organs...
That smile was as eerie as the dead of night, calm yet carrying a warning! Cold yet mad!
Chen Lan was scared!
She came here to take advantage of others, but now she doesn't dare to!
"I……"
Wang Hongying glanced at Zhou Ye, quickly pulled Chen Lan aside, and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, we were wrong!"
We shouldn't have come over to join the meal just because we smelled meat!
sorry! "
Although Chen Lan didn't say anything, she didn't dare to meet Zhou Ye's eyes!
After Chen Lan and Wang Hongying left, Bai Xue looked directly at Zhou Ye and said, "Sister Zhou, I really wasn't trying to curry favor with you!"
I'm following you because I want to take care of you!
Although you take better care of me, but... but... I really..."
"Okay, okay! Let's eat! What will I do without you?"
He won Bai Xue over with just one sentence.
The little girl chuckled, "That's right, I knew Sister Zhou liked me the most!"
Su Yunzhou smiled helplessly: "My sickly appearance is actually a good camouflage!"
Bai Xue didn't understand, but Zhou Ye did. Su Yunzhou was in poor health, so she ate with Zhou Ye and the others, and no one said anything.
If it were someone physically strong, rumors might spread that they were having illicit relationships!
Did Su Yunzhou turn misfortune into good fortune?
Oh……
In the afternoon, Zhou went to the foot of the mountain to collect herbs again, and on the way, he passed by the cowshed again to familiarize himself with the route.
As night fell, the moonlight gradually sank beneath the dark clouds.
Night has fallen, and the darkness is deep!
After checking the time on his watch, Zhou changed into a black outfit and disappeared into the silence.
Through the window, a man's handsome eyes were fixed on the figure, and he sighed with pity.
It was Zhou Ye's first time walking in the dead of night, and she cautiously looked at everything around her.
Even the slightest rustle of wind would startle Zhou Ye into stopping immediately!
Closer...closer...
The faint grunting of the cows and pigs in the cowshed added an extra layer of tension to the night!
arrive!
Zhou Ye's breaths became heavy, and her hands trembled slightly. She was afraid that Old Man Lai hadn't left, and she was even more afraid that someone would suddenly appear.
I bit my tongue hard to clear my head.
Next to the cowshed was a mud-brick house without windows. Zhou slowly approached, but there wasn't a sound coming from inside.
When they arrived at the door, Zhou didn't push it open for a long time!
She must be prepared!
If there's someone inside, how do you explain that? Did they take the wrong turn? Were they relieving themselves? Clearly, neither of those explanations holds water!
Then the only option is... to kill him?
Kill them!
Zhou Ye's eyes also became clearer!
If no one is inside, that would be best!
Another possibility is that there's someone inside, but no one has discovered them yet, and they haven't been attacked by anyone!
Should I expose the space and hide the person? The corpse-dissolving water can only be used on the dead! But am I absolutely sure I can do it?
Cold sweat dripped down his face.
No, this is a golden opportunity!
I must go in; perhaps Grandpa left me something.
Clench your fists and try to calm yourself down!
"Squeak..."
With a soft sound, Zhou Ye gently pushed open the door and shone his flashlight inside!
After circling around, Zhou finally felt relieved! He turned the flashlight to its dimmest setting and checked carefully!
The folk songs that were sung when we first arrived at the educated youth settlement—is there something here that echoes that?
Zhou Ye meticulously searched every inch of the wall plaster, afraid of missing any traces left by his grandfather! He even searched under the bed again and again…
The ballad is missing a dog; is it set in a doghouse?
But there's no doghouse in the cowshed.
What does it mean exactly?
Zhou was also confused!
The flashlight swept across the inch by inch, and suddenly...
Zhou Ye's gaze focused on the area above the bed, where something seemed to have been pasted. It was square, but the pasted thing had disappeared.
The wall surface that has been covered with something looks slightly different from the rest of the wall, but after a few months, it's not noticeable unless you look closely.
Zhou Ye stepped forward and tapped carefully, wanting to check where the problem was...
But then they suddenly heard a sound like footsteps.
I immediately turned off the flashlight and didn't dare to make the slightest movement!
The sound was getting closer and closer, and it seemed to be coming from the direction of the cowshed!
"Da...da..."
