Feng Yi's family had a pleasant surprise. Meng Sheng and his companions who were returning to the village from the county met the police on their way who were carrying boxes and remains into the city. Zhang Jing'an, who was driving an ox cart, was asked to go back to assist in the investigation.
In the evening, when Xu Xiuping learned about this from Meng Sheng, the messenger, she was so frightened that her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
She never imagined that despite the severe situation over the past decade, her family would be able to get through it safely.
Now that everything is over and I don’t have to live in fear anymore, my man is actually in jail!
Seeing that the person was frightened, Meng Sheng hurriedly supported her and comforted her, "Don't worry, auntie, I'm just assisting with the investigation.
Uncle Zhang was invited to ride in a carriage, without even handcuffs. Before he left, a police officer told him they were just asking a few questions and would let him go after that!
After hearing this, Xu Xiuping calmed down.
Her mind began to reel, she still understood the man she had been with for half her life.
He is a kind person with a bit of bad intentions, and he will never do anything harmful to others.
At most, he was involved in something.
And what could possibly involve him now?
Xu Xiuping almost subconsciously felt that it must be related to the village chief's family who were taken away one after another.
Thinking about how the Meng Chengliang brothers had taken care of her family over the years, and how her husband had been absent-minded and silent from time to time in recent days, Xu Xiuping felt a little uneasy.
I was afraid that he would do something illegal or criminal because of the favor.
Not caring that it was almost dusk, he quickly got up and went back to the house to get money and pack his things.
She had to go and check it out at night to feel at ease.
Seeing her come to her senses, Meng Sheng rushed into the house and soon came out with a small package in his hand. He didn't know what she was going to do, so he hurriedly advised: "Aunt, it's not safe to travel at night. You know that Uncle Liang and I fell down the mountain together the other day.
Even if you want to leave the village, you have to wait until tomorrow morning. You can't risk going outside the mountain now."
Feng Yijia, who heard the noise, came out of the house and also advised: "Meng Sheng is right.
Aunt, Uncle Zhang is not a useless man. He has you and two working children. He won't let anything happen to him.
Maybe he'll be back tomorrow after asking questions."
Unfortunately, Xu Xiuping was stubborn and refused to listen. She continued to look for the things she needed to take with her while saying to Meng Sheng, "Can you lend me your bicycle?"
Seeing that the man was determined to leave the village, Meng Sheng said helplessly, "Sure, I'll go back and push the cart and take you to the county town later!"
"No need, you're tired after just coming back from the city, I can just ride my bike out by myself.
"If we go alone, we can go faster. If we hurry, we might be able to get out of the mountain before dark. Once we get to the road outside, there won't be any danger." Xu Xiuping strode into the kitchen, picked up a kitchen knife, and replied.
He added, "Don't worry, I've been able to ride a bicycle since I was a kid, and I'm very good at it.
If the bicycle is damaged, I will compensate you with a new one!"
Meng Sheng was speechless. Would he, a hidden rich man, worry about a half-used bicycle?
He is worried about people's safety!
The Zhang couple has been practicing medicine in the village for more than ten years. The fees they charge for treating illnesses and providing medicine are very low. Sometimes, the patient's family is really poor, and a handful of wild vegetables can cover the cost of medicine. It is no exaggeration to say that they are grateful to everyone in the village.
Their family eats grains and cereals, so of course that is no exception.
However, when he saw Xu Xiuping taking a kitchen knife and then taking a sickle from the crack in the courtyard wall and stuffing it into her bag, he felt that his worries seemed a bit unnecessary.
The sky is filled with sunset glow, so we really can't delay any longer. Since we have to leave the mountain, the sooner the better.
Meng Sheng didn't hesitate any longer and simply ran home to push his bike.
Chen Hongxing was chopping grass for pigs in the kitchen when she saw her son, whom she hadn't seen for two days, come back. Before she could leave the kitchen to ask about the situation in the city, she saw him riding away on his bike again.
She was so angry that she threw down the machete, stood up and stood at the door and shouted: "You damn boy, why are you rushing there?
You don't stay home even after you come back. You just run around everywhere all day long. You are a savage!"
Meng Sheng ignored his mother's words and quickly rode his bike to Zhang's house.
Xu Xiuping is not the kind of person who acts recklessly on impulse.
I packed two knives, two sets of clothes, a flashlight, some food and drinks, self-defense medicine, and so on.
After finishing, he remembered to explain everything to Feng Yijia: "The rice, flour and other things are in the kitchen cupboard, which is not locked. There are also some vegetables in the kitchen. You can make something to eat by yourself.
Move slowly and don't pull the wound. The external medicine is on the cabinet in the room you live in, and the internal medicine is hanging on the kitchen wall.
Remember to boil and change the medicine yourself. If it’s inconvenient, ask Feng Chunhua next door for help!
Feng Yijia felt a pang of anxiety and a lump in his throat when he heard him busying around and giving detailed instructions. He could only nod his head repeatedly to show that he understood everything.
Everything was ready here, and Meng Sheng arrived on his bicycle.
Xu Xiuping, carrying her bag, took the bicycle swiftly, stepped on it, sat on it, and rode away like the wind.
Meng Sheng and Feng Yijia watched the figure disappear, and turned around to look around at the same time. Seeing that there were not many people around, they walked into the yard.
Meng Sheng closed the gate of the yard easily and swiftly. The two stood in the yard and looked at each other, both grinning.
"Good efficiency. Congratulations on getting your revenge!" Feng Yijia said with a smile.
"Congratulations! Congratulations!
Thanks to you for the information!" Meng Sheng said modestly.
As he finished speaking, he saw the blood-stained gauze on the man's body and frowned as he asked, "After all these days, your wound is still bleeding?"
Feng Yijia guessed that the man had just returned from the county and was unaware of what had happened in the village, so he told him about his troubles in the mountains.
After hearing this, Meng Sheng realized that her wounds were torn open again for the sake of others. He inexplicably felt that the person shrouded in the rosy glow opposite her was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off her.
All the minor grievances I had in my heart about being too arrogant for more than twenty years have disappeared.
Only when you have been in the darkness, you will know how rare it is for people who have been in the darkness for years to still maintain kindness and authenticity.
The light was against his back, so his expression couldn't be seen clearly. Feng Yijia was unaware of his abnormality. He told him about his own affairs and then asked about the specific situation of Meng Chengliang's family.
Meng Sheng came back to his senses and recounted what had happened in the city, then said, "We are cracking down now, and if their deeds are proven, they will not end well.
But now that they've revealed your secrets, there's no doubt that the gossip about you will spread all over the village within a few days."
After he finished speaking, he saw that the man looked indifferent, so he thought for a moment and continued, “I bought a small courtyard in the city yesterday, and I can lend it to you.
Although it's a little broken, I can get away from the gossip and start a new life."
