Chapter 15: No Way Back



Seeing that there was no movement on the ground, Shen Qinghe slipped off the kang and went to see what was going on. She didn't dare move the wooden board for fear that Jiang Chunlin would find out.

After looking carefully for a while, she was sure that it was an air-raid shelter.

What was Jiang Chunlin doing in the air-raid shelter?

Did he hide some treasure in there?

Afraid that Jiang Chunlin would suddenly come out and find her, Shen Qinghe climbed onto the kang quietly and pretended to be asleep while waiting for Jiang Chunlin, but she fell asleep while waiting.

Shen Qinghe watched like a wandering soul as Qi Qingmei pushed her down the stairs. She wanted to stop her, but her outstretched hand went through her body. She could do nothing but watch her fall.

With a loud bang, she fell down and her head hit the ground first, leaving a big hole. The dark red blood dyed her body red, and then she heard someone shouting.

"Qi Qingmei pushed the school beauty down the stairs!"

Qi Qingmei was so scared that she ran away, but when she was going down the stairs, she missed a step and rolled down. She didn't care whether Qi Qingmei was dead or alive, and hurried downstairs to see herself who had fallen downstairs.

In just a short while, the downstairs was already full of people. Soon the ambulance arrived and sent her to the hospital, and she quickly jumped into the ambulance.

A nurse plugged her broken head with gauze while another doctor performed emergency treatment on her.

"We'll notify the family later. We've tried our best." The doctor said as he looked at the dead patient. He felt very sorry. He was too young.

The nurse took a look at the already dead victim, took her hands away and stopped blocking Shen Qinghe's broken head, and blood dripped down her head.

"Please try to rescue him again, don't give up." Shen Qinghe shouted anxiously from the side.

But the doctors and nurses couldn't see her at all, and they couldn't hear her speak.

After arriving at the hospital, she was pushed directly into the morgue, shivering with cold.

After a while, the grandfather came and fainted when he saw his granddaughter’s tragic death.

The scene changed and she was taken to the crematorium by her grandfather.

My grandfather seemed to have aged a dozen years overnight. He looked very weak and it seemed as if he used up all his strength with every step he took.

"Grandpa, look at me. I'm not dead yet. You can't cremate me."

But her grandfather didn't react at all. She then watched the crematorium staff cremate her and hand a small box to her grandfather. Her grandfather held the small box and walked away with unsteady steps.

"Ah..." Shen Qinghe sat up suddenly, sweat all over her body, and gasped for breath.

"Shen Qinghe, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Chunlin was sitting on the ground. Seeing in the moonlight that something was wrong with Shen Qinghe, he lit the kerosene lamp.

Shen Qinghe's face looked very bad, with a bluish-gray complexion. She looked at him in horror with her big eyes.

"Are you having a nightmare?" Jiang Chunlin stood by the kang, looking down at Shen Qinghe.

"Wow! I was cremated... Woo woo..." Shen Qinghe burst into tears, "I can't go back!"

Even the corpse was burned, so even if she could go back, she would just be a wandering ghost.

Jiang Chunlin didn't understand what Shen Qinghe said, but he understood the last sentence.

He said angrily, "What's there to go back to in that home? Do you want your mother to sell you out again?"

Shen Qinghe cried even more sadly. Guessing that she couldn't go back was one thing, but when she knew clearly that she really couldn't go back, she cried breathlessly.

Why is her life so miserable!

Jiang Chunlin was annoyed by Shen Qinghe's crying, and was afraid that she would wake up her parents, so he grabbed a handful of wild dates from the table and stuffed them into her hands, "Eat them and you won't cry anymore."

Shen Qinghe looked down at the wild dates and put one in her mouth. It tasted sour and sweet and quite delicious.

She ate wild dates while sobbing.

Jiang Chunlin was speechless.

After eating for a while, Shen Qinghe looked at Jiang Chunlin suddenly and saw that he was already asleep on the ground with his back to her. She looked in the direction of the air-raid shelter and found that the wardrobe had been moved back to its original place without any trace.

If she hadn't been awake tonight, she wouldn't have known there was an air-raid shelter in the house.

I guess these wild dates are the ones that Jiang Chunlin just picked.

It is only on Yezao Mountain. Could it be that the exit of this air-raid shelter is on the mountain?

After eating the wild dates, Shen Qinghe blew out the kerosene lamp and lay down to continue sleeping.

The next day, when Shen Qinghe woke up, Jiang Chunlin had already gotten up. She heard him talking to He Xiuyun in the yard.

"Mom, don't let Shen Qinghe herd cattle."

He Xiuyun sighed, "I wouldn't dare let her go even if you asked her to. If the cow is really lost, we won't be able to afford a new cow even if we sell our whole family."

After that, he asked Jiang Chunlin, "Do you really let her rest in the house?"

"Well, let her cook." Jiang Chunlin said lightly.

He Xiuyun nodded. This was all that was left to do.

She can't do farm work and can't even herd cattle. Fortunately, she looks like a fertile woman, otherwise I would have married her to become her ancestor.

After Shen Qinghe knew that she didn't have to go to work, she saw Wang Dan looking at her jealously, and she felt secretly excited for a while.

After the Jiang family members went to work, she took out the unfinished clothes and continued to work on them.

Glancing at the closet, she licked her lips. Should she go check out the air-raid shelter?
