Chapter 43 Danger in the Cowshed
Zhou also gripped the flashlight tightly, as if to give her more courage!
Her mind was filled with thoughts of whether she could deliver a fatal blow if it were Old Lai who came!
Footsteps were already at the door, and there seemed to be the sound of the door opening slightly.
A faint, dim light seemed to flash briefly, and Zhou wasn't sure if the person outside the door had seen him.
The door closed again...
The footsteps seemed to be fading into the distance...
Zhou also breathed a sigh of relief!
She was about to stand up when suddenly... a chill ran down her spine. Someone was there!
Zhou Ye suddenly turned around, his bright eyes shining in the darkness, and a chilling wind blew around him!
The pure iron flashlight was hurled fiercely at the figure in the darkness! Fear made their blood freeze into ice...
A surge of blood rushed to his head, and without the slightest hesitation, a murderous intent arose instantly!
But the person in front of her seemed to have sensed Zhou Ye's murderous aura. With one move, she pressed Zhou Ye against the wall and tightly covered her mouth and nose!
"Don't move! Someone's coming!"
That sound?
Zhou Ye hesitated for a moment, then chose to remain silent!
"Da...da..."
It seemed like his feet were dragging on the ground, unable to lift! "It's like a ghost story," Zhou thought to himself.
In the pitch-black night, in the eerie scene, two people confront each other. The atmosphere in the cowshed is tense. The man's arms are strong, tightly encircling Zhou Ye, yet giving Zhou Ye enough space to breathe.
She didn't know how she ended up meeting him here...
finally……
The person outside the door left.
The man released his grip and looked at Zhou Ye with some nervousness.
"Why did you come here?" Zhou Ye asked.
The man was silent for a moment: "I saw you and was worried something had happened to you, so I came to check on you!"
What do you know?
"I...I don't know!" the man replied hesitantly.
"Oh……"
Zhou Ye pointed her silver needle at the man's vital point. The man seemed to tense up for a moment, then calmly said, "Don't be afraid. I don't care what you're here for. I won't hurt you. I just want to help you!"
"Help me? No one in this world can help me! But if you really want to help me, that's fine too..."
Zhou paused for a moment, then brought the silver needle closer and said, word by word, "Then go die!"
The man seemed to sigh: "Are you a spy?"
Zhou never expected the man to ask such a question; the man's language was truly vulgar! Anger flared within her: "You're the spy! Your whole family are spies!"
The man seemed to smile slightly.
Seriously, I'll help you with anything, as long as you're not a spy!
As he spoke, the man turned on his flashlight, and Zhou Ye's face came into view.
Thank you for your help!
The village chief's youngest son!
Zhou also stared intently at him, as if he was about to attack him at any moment.
"You just tried to kill me?"
Xie Jianshe found it hard to believe, but her years of experience in completing missions told her that she had indeed been intent on killing just now!
Zhou pursed his lips, unwilling to admit it, but this was the village chief's son, who might be the key to finding his family.
You don't have to help, but you can't be an obstacle.
Moreover, this man is dangerous, and she cannot be sure that she can kill him with one blow.
If she gives him a chance to escape, or lets him know about her private space, then it's up to her whether she survives or not.
From Xie Jianshe's question just now, it's clear that he's a patriotic person, but does being patriotic necessarily make one a good person?
That's not necessarily true!
"How could this be? You suddenly appeared in the room and covered my mouth and nose, making it impossible for me to breathe."
It's understandable that I want to struggle and resist you!
Besides, how could a weak woman like me kill someone?
It's not that we dare not, but that we currently do not.
"laugh……"
Whether Xie Jianshe believed it or not, seeing Zhou Ye still looking around warily, he said seriously, "It's twelve o'clock now. Although Old Man Lai doesn't live here, he comes here to check once every night around midnight."
He won't be coming for a while!
Zhou also hummed in agreement...
The two remained silent.
What are you looking for?
Zhou Ye lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Xie Jianshe, if I said I got lost while going to the toilet in the middle of the night, would you believe me?"
Xie Jianshe paused for a moment, knowing that Zhou didn't want to talk about it, or that there was something he couldn't say. He looked out the window at the sky and said, "I believe you!"
By the moonlight, Zhou also saw Xie Jianshe's expression, calm as a lake and indifferent as an autumn breeze!
It's people like that who are truly terrifying!
Would Xie Jianshe tell the village chief about what happened tonight? I only met him once. Yes, just once. Why would he hide it from a stranger like me?
Zhou Ye's heart was as cold as ice; at this moment, her heart seemed frozen, and all her emotions were accumulating deep in her mind.
This sense of crisis urgently needs to be addressed!
She clenched her fists; she needed to find an opportunity. She had to kill him tonight!
Xie Jianshe smiled bitterly. Of course he knew that the people around him might want to kill him at any moment; she had a secret.
There are secrets that I cannot know!
"Shall we go back?" Xie Jianshe suggested.
"good!"
Zhou knew it was impossible here. The village's most valuable cattle and pigs were here. Although no one was on duty, Old Lai might come to check again at any time, and then he would be unable to clear his name.
Then we'll just have to stay on the road.
They walked in silence, the moonlight illuminating the path they had taken.
Along the way, whether Xie Jianshe was too vigilant or Zhou Ye's methods were inadequate, they couldn't find a single opportunity!
until……
When we arrived at the back gate of the educated youth settlement, there was a hillside opposite the gate, and a river flowing rapidly down the hillside. The river was water flowing down from the mountain.
The educated youth at the settlement would fetch water there, but they were always very careful because they could easily fall in and be swept away. Even if they could swim, they probably wouldn't be able to save themselves.
For safety, a safe area was specially paved with stones, but it's nighttime now!
As long as I seize the opportunity to give it a push...
if only……
Zhou Ye's flashlight fell out at just the right moment and, by sheer coincidence, rolled onto the riverbank.
"Oh dear..." she exclaimed softly, then immediately covered her mouth, afraid of disturbing others!
"you……?"
"I dropped my flashlight, and I saw it by the river. I'll go get it!" Zhou Ye rolled up his trousers and was about to go down into the river.
However, Xie Jianshe stopped him.
"What are you, a girl, going to pick up? I'll go!"
Xie Jianshe, unsuspecting, nimbly tumbled down the hillside, with Zhou following closely behind!
The flashlight fell in an unusual spot, almost into the river. Luckily, it didn't slip, otherwise it would have been a shame to lose such a fine flashlight.
You can't buy it in Qingshan County.
Xie Jianshe, with his back to Zhou Ye, squatted down to pick up the flashlight...
Push him down. As long as he dies, no one will know you went to the cowshed. Push him down...
Zhou Ye's eyes grew increasingly vicious...
But……
A voice inside her was stopping her: No, no, Zhou Ye, you're not a serial killer, you're just seeking revenge!
You just want revenge, don't kill innocent people indiscriminately! He's a good person! He's a good person!
At this critical moment, Zhou Ye suddenly appeared and shoved Xie Jianshe hard. Zhou Ye watched helplessly as Xie Jianshe fell into the river and disappeared with a splash!
Before Zhou could even stop him, he opened his mouth and managed to utter a difficult sentence: "Brother..."
