"Today I understand that you are worried about the child, so I won't bother with you. But Zhong Wende, next time don't put all the blame on me."
Ning Guoqing looked so magnanimous and caring, which was disgusting.
Lu Zhiye grabbed Zhong Wende, who was as angry as a trapped beast, and said, "Okay, hurry up and wash up and go to bed. If you make any more noise, I will go find the captain."
For a moment, everyone was busy with their own things, and there were also faint sounds of low-pitched discussions.
While everyone was chatting, Lu Zhiye secretly observed everyone's expressions.
He noticed a hunchbacked man looking at Zhong Wende timidly.
But he quickly looked away with a hint of fear on his face.
The man's hands were tightly behind his back, so Lu Zhiye could not see the specific situation.
Turning around again, his eyes met Kong Xiuzhu's.
Kong Xiuzhu had noticed Lu Zhiye's actions a long time ago and realized that what happened today was not an accident.
He nodded slightly towards Lu Zhiye and whispered a few words softly in Gao Lin's ear.
Then Lu Zhiye saw Gao Lin carrying a wooden basin and walking towards the man.
Walking to the hunchbacked man, Gao Lin pretended to sprain his ankle, and the water in the basin accidentally spilled onto him.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Comrade Qian, I stepped on a stone and accidentally spilled water on you."
Gao Lin looked like he was apologizing sincerely, quickly put down the basin in his hand, and reached out to wipe the water droplets off Qian Wenqiang's face.
Qian Wenqiang was usually a quiet person. He quickly stood up and patted himself: "It's okay, Comrade Gao."
The wood ash sprinkled on the injured hand was quickly washed away by the water droplets and smudged on the black clothes, but it was not very obvious.
Lu Zhiye kept his eyes on Qian Wenqiang. Just when Qian Wenqiang was about to turn around and go back to the shed to change clothes, he clearly saw the wound on Qian Wenqiang's palm that was cut by something.
His eyes were as cold as ice. He had no idea what grudge this man had with Professor Zhong that would make him want to kill a child.
Just when everyone had packed up and were preparing to go back to the shed to sleep, Lu Zhiye took the lead and selected a few people to share the shed with himself.
He was appointed by the captain himself.
Everyone in the cowshed thought that Lu Zhiye was sent by the captain to watch over them.
Naturally, others did what he said.
In the dead of night, people who are tired after a long day can hear snoring.
Qian Wenqiang tossed and turned for a long time and couldn't fall asleep because he had done something wrong.
After finally falling into a drowsy state, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
When he opened his eyes, he met Lu Zhiye's cold eyes.
"You, what do you want to do?"
Qian Wenqiang's voice was trembling with fear, and Zhong Wende, Kong Xiuzhu, Gao Lin and others in the shed also opened their eyes.
Zhong Wende rushed over and grabbed Qian Wenqiang's collar with both hands.
"Qian Wenqiang, why? I don't think I have ever offended you, why did you attack my child?"
Qian Wenqiang struggled hard, still mumbling: "It's not me."
Lu Zhiye sneered: "You don't think you did it perfectly, do you? Someone on the dam saw it was you."
Qian Wenqiang's pupils suddenly widened, his eyes filled with panic and guilt.
"Impossible. Impossible."
"Do I need to call someone over to confront you?"
There was an icy chill in Lu Zhiye's voice, which made people feel a chill from deep within their hearts.
Qian Wenqiang was completely confused by Lu Zhiye's shock, and coupled with his solemn words, Qian Wenqiang really thought that someone saw it.
He held his head in his hands and couldn't help but tremble as he spoke: "Ning Guoqing asked me to do it.
I was so hungry that I stole eggs from the villagers' homes a few times. He found out and threatened me, saying he would report me.
I was forced to do it.”
Qian Wenqiang told the whole story in a flash, and begged Zhong Wende to let him go.
"My son's life is not worth more than a few eggs?"
Zhong Wende roared angrily, and his clenched fists could no longer be controlled, and he punched Qian Wenqiang again and again.
Qian Wenqiang tightly protected his head, his body bent like a shrimp, and cried out in pain after being beaten by Zhong Wende: "It was Ning Guoqing who ordered me to do this. Go find him, please stop beating me."
The noise from this shed soon woke up the people living in the shed next door.
They put on their clothes and walked out in confusion.
The door curtain of the shed where Lu Zhiye and his friends were resting was opened, and several people started talking.
"Old Zhong, what's going on?"
"Yeah, stop beating me. Old Qian is almost dying from being beaten."
At once, many people went up to stop the fight.
Lu Zhiye stood at the door, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.
He naturally did not miss the guilt and ruthlessness on Ning Guoqing's face.
Lu Zhiye sneered, opened the curtain and walked out.
The noise here was quite loud and woke up many people. They all stretched their heads to look over here, curious about what was happening.
Duan Qing also heard the noise here, and hurriedly put on her clothes and rushed over here.
The captain naturally came as well. He asked Lu Zhiye in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Lu Zhiye had an expression as if he had just eaten a big piece of news and told everything.
"Yohoo, why is this person so vicious?"
The team leader felt that these people were indeed socialist parasites who had been sent down to perform labor reform.
Just because of a small matter, he took someone else's child's life.
From this point of view, Lu Zhiye was too soft-hearted when he demoted the person.
"Captain, what should we do?"
Captain Lu looked into the shed with a sharp gaze: "Don't worry about it."
The smile on Lu Zhiye's face became even wider. It seemed that Captain Lu was also afraid of bringing trouble to himself.
Zhong Wende was pulled away from the shed, and Qian Wenqiang was breathing in more than out.
The blood at the corner of his mouth made his teeth ache.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Captain Lu coughed lightly and stood up: "I don't care what happened to you guys. If you delay work tomorrow, you won't get any work points."
He was unwilling to get involved in these people's affairs. If some ruthless person held a grudge against him, his old bones would not be able to withstand the revenge.
What's more, these people are alone. Even if they are caught by the police, they will be dead. But he has a wife, children and a warm home.
