Chapter 30 Escape
While still in the county town, Song Lubai made her way to Lin Shuhong's locked house. After asking the neighbors and learning that he had gone to work that day, she went to his workplace without stopping.
Lin Shuhong was taken aback when she saw her. Upon hearing that she wanted to borrow a bicycle, she naturally questioned her about where she was going.
"It's already three o'clock, aren't you going to hurry up and take a car back?"
Lin Shuhong knew what Liu Mei was going to do at her parents' house today. Although she had some subtle feelings about Song Lubai's arrival, she thought he was overthinking it.
Lin Shuhong and Song Lubai were not close to begin with; their relationship was usually just a formality.
Song Lubai naturally couldn't tell him the truth: "I just went to the station, but the bus has already left. I have to hurry back on my bicycle. Just lend it to me this time, and I'll let you ride it back next time."
Lin Shuhong felt relieved. Although she still didn't want to lend it, she couldn't find a good excuse.
But he didn't want to leave someone at home overnight and have to pay for a meal for nothing.
Song Lubai deliberately put on a stern face, "What? My mom even got you the bicycle ticket, and you won't lend it to me even once. How can you be so stingy? You're allowed to take advantage, but I'm not allowed to do anything convenient? I was the one who brought my sister-in-law her meals before she was hospitalized..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Shuhong conceded defeat, "You can ride it, but you have to return it to me as soon as possible."
Song Lubai snorted, pushed her bicycle, called to Chang Guangtao, and left.
Once they reached the street, Song Lubai asked Chang Guangtao to take her to Sanshui Village on his bicycle.
The old-fashioned bicycle is too unfriendly to women; Song Lubai found it very uncomfortable to ride.
Chang Guangtao, on the other hand, was a year younger than her, but he was taller and had longer legs.
Chang Guangtao pedaled along, panting, "Auntie, what exactly are you going to Sanshui Village for?"
Song Lubai: "Don't ask so many questions, just ride."
She wished she could sprout wings and fly to Sanshui Village to see what the situation was like now.
Although Li Guangming has nothing to do with her now, if the events in her dream really happen, it would mean that her life trajectory in the dream would also come true.
She wants to verify it now.
The roads from the city to the county were not very smooth, let alone from the county to the countryside. The roads were full of potholes, and the old bicycle could not be ridden very fast. As soon as it got dark, Chang Guangtao fell and stuck his groin. He clutched his stomach and did not recover for a long time.
Liu Mei's family home.
The food on the table was almost gone, and Wang Feng, who was eating and drinking without any restraint, had become so drunk that he started talking nonsense.
Liu Mei's father and Wang Feng played a drinking game until Wang Feng was so tired he could no longer keep his eyes open and collapsed on the table. Liu Mei's father then instructed his son to take Wang Feng into the inner room to rest.
The sound of snoring coming from inside the room also infected Li Guangming, who was already feeling drunk.
Immediately afterwards, Li Guangming was also helped into the inner room.
Two grown men lay on a large bed. Li Guangming didn't think much of it and closed his eyes, feeling both uncomfortable and relaxed.
After the Liu family women packed up the food on the table and all the irrelevant people left, the entire Liu family courtyard became quiet.
Inside the main room, Liu Mei asked, "Is she asleep? We'll take her to the small room outside in a bit. Xingchun, come here, I have something to say to you."
The men of the Liu family knew what Liu Mei was going to say, so they all left.
Although this is not a respectable matter, if it succeeds, it will be beneficial.
I could tell when we were drinking earlier that although Li Guangming grew up in the city, he really is a simple-minded person.
People who are naive and simple-minded are easy to manipulate. By tomorrow morning, the die will be cast. As long as Liu Xingchun cries and makes a scene, saying she's too ashamed to face anyone and that she'd rather be dead, we'll definitely be able to capture Li Guangming.
Liu Xingchun, whose name was called, had sweaty hands. "Auntie, what should I do? I really don't dare, I don't know how, is this really inappropriate? If it doesn't work, I'll really lose face..."
When it came time to get there, Liu Xingchun had second thoughts.
Liu Mei poked her head hard. "Just listen to your aunt. His family is well-off, and he's a good person. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You don't need to do anything. Just help him inside, take off his clothes, and take yours off too. Just wait until dawn. Don't worry about anything else. When you wake up tomorrow morning, just cry. If you want to live a good life, be decisive."
While the aunt and niece were talking, Li Guangming was vomiting inside the room.
After he finished vomiting, he was so dizzy that he thought he was dreaming when he heard the conversation outside.
Liu Mei and Liu Xingchun were outsiders to him. In his dazed state, he didn't even realize who was speaking, let alone where he was.
After vomiting, he went back to sleep. A little while later, Li Guangming was helped up, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, and laid down on another bed.
Although Li Guangming's mind was in a state of confusion, he was still able to perceive the outside world.
A pair of hands landed on his clothes, trying to unbutton them.
He looked over and, through the haze, saw Liu Xingchun fumbling to unbutton his shirt.
What are you doing?
Liu Xingchun was so frightened that she trembled and couldn't speak.
"I want some water, can you pour me some?"
Li Guangming's not-so-bright mind realized that something was amiss.
The conversations I had heard in my dreams before became clearer in my mind.
Liu Xingchun, bewildered and terrified, had never done anything like this before. Her first instinct was to run away, so she obediently went to pour him water.
The door opened, and Li Guangming stumbled out.
The courtyard was dark, but once he saw where the gate was, Li Guangming went out without hesitation.
The Liu family only realized what was happening when they heard the truck starting up.
Unfortunately, by the time the Liu family chased after them, Li Guangming had already driven away.
"What do we do? Why did he leave?!"
Liu Mei's father was filled with remorse and poked Liu Xingchun's head, saying, "Why didn't you keep a closer eye on her!"
Liu Mei's face turned ashen: "Go after him now and bring him back. He ran away, so he must have heard what we said. We can't let him get away like this."
Aside from that, Liu Mei couldn't think of any other reason why Li Guangming would run away.
"You make it sound so easy. He's driving; how are we supposed to catch him?"
Liu Mei said anxiously, "He's drunk, he can't have gone far. We can't just wait here. If this doesn't work out, he'll definitely come after us later."
The Liu family had no choice but to follow the road and chase after them.
Li Guangming felt dizzy and lightheaded after drinking, but after vomiting once, although his head still hurt, his mind was much clearer.
He had figured out everything that had happened before.
It turns out that bringing him to the village was a scheme to frame him.
Song Lubai probably doesn't even know about this!
How can there be such a person!
Li Guangming grew angrier the more he thought about it, and in his anger, he slammed his fist on the steering wheel.
The sound of the horn carried far along the quiet country road; Song Lubai and Chang Guangtao, who were a kilometer away, heard it.
It's hateful that he's so stupid and easily fooled.
With poor visibility at night, Li Guangming couldn't fully control his body, so naturally he couldn't keep his grip on the steering wheel.
The road ahead is narrow, with a dry waterway below, littered with large boulders, and a stone bridge less than four meters wide above.
During the day, you have to be careful when driving or driving a tractor on this road, and at night when visibility is poor, you have to be even slower.
The next instant, the truck veered off course as it went up the bridge, and Li Guangming fell out through the door that wasn't properly closed.
