Ye Zhiyu, however, could not feel happy looking at the fish leaping happily in the river; his brows were furrowed.
If I remember correctly, the plot of the novel is that after catching fish, a torrential rain fell, causing the river to rise and widen.
The flooding started with the crops, and then the rain intensified, eventually reaching waist-high in the village. But that wasn't the most devastating part. The most devastating thing was that the rain stopped in the middle, and everyone thought everything was alright. They rushed to salvage their crops, as they were their only chance of survival.
But at this time, a mudslide occurred, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.
Ye Zhiyu knew that even if she spoke up, no one would believe her, and it would also expose to Li Xi that she was not the original Ye Zhiyu.
Well, let's take it one step at a time and give her a warning when the time comes. She can't interfere with the laws of nature.
At the village entrance, Lu Chen rode back on his bicycle, with a rectangular object wrapped in cardboard tied to the back with a rope.
Upon entering the village, they found that the people who usually toiled in the fields were nowhere to be seen, which puzzled them.
After riding a few more steps, I saw several children running past with small fish and shrimp in their hands.
Suddenly it dawned on me; after calculating the time, the annual fishing season was just around the corner.
The thought of Ye Zhiyu being there warmed his heart. He hadn't seen her for several days since their hasty parting that day.
I rushed home, put my things down, and hurried towards the river.
Ye Zhiyu has always been the most eye-catching presence in the crowd. Even without her usual refined demeanor, she is still the most unique one.
People passing by couldn't help but linger on her for a moment.
With so many people around, Lu Chen gazed intently at her.
As if sensing something, Ye Zhiyu turned around.
Their eyes met, and after a moment, their eyelashes trembled slightly.
Ye Zhiyu was subconsciously happy, but she quickly remembered that the person had run away after kissing her, so she suppressed her joy and turned her head away with a stiff face.
He crossed his hands in front of his body, his fingers constantly twirling.
Lu Chen's joy at seeing his beloved vanished, replaced by a wave of panic.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. She hadn't said anything that day, and he thought he had a chance.
Are you regretting not killing him that day?
Ye Zhiyu's eyelashes fluttered incessantly, her pearly teeth gently biting her lip, and her eyes couldn't help but glance back out of the corner of her eye.
I figured that no matter what, he would come and explain.
But after waiting for a long time, no one came.
Hmph, fine, I don't care if you don't come. I stomped my foot and left.
But what she didn't know was that everyone here, young and old, was busy, and even though Lu Chen was in a hurry, he still cared about her reputation.
Although she may not be human and may not care, he does care.
Seeing Ye Zhiyu leave, he instinctively wanted to follow her.
Before I could even take a step, I stopped.
"Sigh, I wonder who will marry Ye Zhiqing in the future. She's so lucky." A young man said with a hint of envy.
Another person said, "That's right, she's beautiful, comes from a good family, is rich, powerful, and good-looking. Marrying her would save you several lifetimes of hard work."
"Tch, this kind of woman is fine to play around with, but the money and power all belong to her family. She's like water spilled from a cup. At most, you can give her some money, but in the end, she'll still have to work for you. She can't lift a finger, and she'll have to rely on a man to support her."
The one who said this was Lu Jianshe, the son of a squad leader in the brigade. He had several older sisters and was spoiled by his family since childhood. He was a good-for-nothing.
He showed absolutely no respect for Ye Zhiyu, his eyes were lewd and his movements were flippant.
"Look at the way she walks, the way she sways her waist, and those two breasts on her chest, they really make me want to... ah."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Chen, who had stopped walking, punched him, sending him sprawling to the ground.
The crowd fell silent. The few who had just spoken were stunned for a moment and quickly went to help Lu Jianshe.
Some dared not look at Lu Chen; every young man in the village was somewhat afraid of him.
Lu Chen used all his strength in that punch, and Lu Jianshe's eyes became crossed.
He pressed his temples, shook his head violently, and, slightly regaining his senses, stumbled and helped others to their feet.
"Lu Chen, are you out of your mind? Why did you suddenly hit me? Don't think I'm afraid of you just because your dad is the brigade leader. I've given you some face, but you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Lu Jianshe was also a little scared, but with so many people watching, he couldn't lose face.
Lu Chen didn't want to repeat what they had just said. He looked at him with a dark expression, his aura suddenly surging, and said in a low voice, "Because you deserve a beating."
"You son of a bitch..."
They were both young men, and Lu Jianshe was enraged by those words. In a moment of impulse, he went up to fight.
His friend quickly pulled him away.
"No, no, no, Jianshe, don't be impulsive, you can't beat him."
Lu Jianshe was panting heavily, staring intently at Lu Chen, who was also staring at him, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him.
My not-so-bright brain, stimulated by the stimulus, grasped that something was amiss.
He raised his chin, revealing a malicious smile, and provocatively said, "What, are you angry because I said Ye Zhiqing is angry? You've taken a liking to her too? Too bad she doesn't even look at peasants like us."
A crowd gathered around, and upon hearing this, they all looked at each other in bewilderment.
Lu Jianshe continued, "That time you carried Ye Zhiqing down the mountain, her body was weak, wasn't it? Share it with the brothers, or maybe one day the brothers can all taste her together?"
Lu Chen's eyes immediately turned red. Before anyone could react, he tackled Lu Jianshe to the ground and started punching him repeatedly.
The scene immediately descended into chaos, so we rushed over to break up the fight.
But Lu Chen was full of ruthlessness, and no matter what they did, they couldn't pull him away; he looked like he was going to beat someone to death.
