Next, the conversation between Yang Feng and Zhong Xiaodie also confirmed Liu Yu's guess.
"Take it easy, there won't be much left."
"What are you afraid of? After I'm done, I can just get another box from Su Nan."
"I wouldn't dare. I almost got caught last time."
"You said it was almost there, but we weren't discovered, right? Why are you so panicked? Why have you become so timid?"
After hearing this, Liu Yu understood everything. His heart started beating fast, and he wanted to go back home quickly to tell everyone, including Su Nan.
But she didn't expect that there were so many yellow weeds in winter that she didn't notice the dry branches under her feet, and when she stepped on them, they made a loud noise.
"Who's there?"
As expected, Liu Yu's presence was immediately discovered by Yang Feng and Zhong Xiaodie.
Liu Yu started to run, but before he had run far, Zhong Xiaodie grabbed his clothes. The two of them were arguing and pushing each other, and their movements were too violent. Coupled with Yang Feng's interference, Liu Yu was pushed hard and fell down.
But right next to it was a flat ground made of a thin layer of dead leaves. When Liu Yu, a young woman, pushed hard on it, it collapsed directly, and she fell into the turbulent river.
The river water in winter is freezing cold. Once you fall into it, you will feel your whole body stiff after a while. What's more, the water is very deep. Liu Yu, who grew up in the city, can't swim. He keeps struggling in the water, up and down.
"Save me, help." Liu Yu kept calling for help to the two people on the shore, but there was no response.
They just stood on the shore and looked at her coldly, obviously not wanting to help.
Liu Yu's heart sank to the bottom in an instant, despair surged in her heart, she gradually lost her strength, and the current pushed her farther away from the shore.
Just when she was about to sink to the bottom of the water, a male voice suddenly came from not far away, and then a figure pushed Yang Feng and Zhong Xiaodie away, jumped straight into the water and picked up Liu Yu's body.
Liu Yu forced himself to open his eyes and recognized him as his sweetheart Wang Hongzhi. He was immediately surprised and worried.
The river in Xiaojia Village is wide and deep, and the water flows extremely fast and violently. Wang Hongzhi had to use all his strength to swim a short distance.
"Don't worry about me, just go up there yourself, I beg you." Liu Yu shouted in pain. She didn't want to implicate Wang Hongzhi because of herself.
"Don't talk. How could I leave you alone?" Wang Hongzhi firmly held Liu Yu's waist with one hand and paddled desperately with the other hand.
Yang Feng and Zhong Xiaodie on the shore looked at the two people in the water, their hearts pounding. After looking at each other, Yang Feng stammered, "Let's get someone to come and rescue them."
Zhong Xiaodie gritted her teeth and hesitated for a moment, then saw that only half of their heads were left bobbing in the water. She felt that even if no one came to rescue them now, they would probably not survive, so she nodded.
"Let's go, we are the young people."
Later, when the villagers rushed over, they found Liu Yu and Wang Hongzhi holding on to a branch in the water, which helped them avoid being washed away by the river. However, when they were pulled ashore, both of them were already dead.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but swear. Yang Feng and Zhong Xiaodie were simply not human.
Stealing comes first, then harming others.
"I'm going to call the police." Liu Yu grabbed Su Nan's sleeve and looked at her pleadingly.
"I'll be there as soon as it's daybreak. Don't worry, the bad guys will definitely get the punishment they deserve." Su Nan patted the back of Liu Yu's hand soothingly.
Hearing this, Liu Yu seemed relieved. He slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, everyone left the ward, leaving the two patients with a quiet rest environment.
Xiao Heguo punched the wall and looked at Ding Mao with a somewhat unfriendly tone: "Xiao Ding, the village has entrusted you with the leadership of the educated youth center, but recently there have been a lot of terrible incidents. Isn't it time for you to reflect on this?"
Ding Mao lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I cannot shirk my responsibility in this matter. I didn't take care of my men. I am ashamed."
"This can't be blamed entirely on Xiao Ding. He has a problem with his personal morality and is rotten to the core. I think we should take some time to do ideological education for everyone to prevent such incidents from happening again." Xiao Hejun tried to smooth things over.
The village cadres were speaking, and Su Nan, a commoner, naturally had no room to speak, so he hid behind Zhou Rang and listened obediently.
After all the trouble, it was getting dark and approaching midnight. Su Nan couldn't help yawning. She was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes. The sound of them discussing countermeasures in her ears was more like a lullaby, making her drowsy.
After a while, Su Nan's head began to move like a chicken pecking at rice, little by little, and suddenly he lost his balance and fell on Zhou Rang's back.
Su Nan was almost awakened from her nap. She covered her red forehead with her pouty lips and looked up at Zhou Rang pitifully, complaining, "Why is your back so stiff? It's so annoying."
Her voice is sweet and there is a clear hint of coquettishness in it.
When Su Nan reacted, she found that the surroundings were unusually quiet, and the four grown men were all looking at her in a daze.
"I'm sleepy." Su Nan put down his hand, cleared his throat, and explained seriously.
"It's very late, it's normal to feel sleepy, hahaha." Ding Mao tried to smooth things over awkwardly.
"I'll ask the nurse to borrow an empty bed." Zhou Rang raised his hand and touched his back, feeling quite annoyed. His muscles were the result of years of exercise, and they were so hard that they wouldn't soften for a moment.
"We, a few grown men, can just stay here for one night. We'll call the police early tomorrow morning and then take a bus back to the village." Xiao Heguo made the decision.
Zhou Rang nodded and went downstairs to ask the nurse to borrow an empty bed.
Considering Su Nan's love of cleanliness, he asked the nurse to buy a towel, then went back upstairs and took Su Nan to the single room.
Because the price of a single room is more expensive than that of an ordinary ward, most people would not choose a single room. This also resulted in an empty room being lent to a girl, Su Nan, to sleep in.
Su Nan sat on the bed, wiped her face with a warm towel, and then handed it to Zhou Rang.
"Then where are you sleeping today?" Su Nan grabbed the corner of his clothes and asked with her tender white face.
Zhou Rang blinked his deep eyes and replied, "I'm sleeping in the corridor with Ding Mao and the captain. There are no other empty beds in the hospital."
"Ah? You'll get sick in such a cold day." Su Nan frowned.
"No, it won't be long before dawn, and we are men, we can handle it." Zhou Rang touched her still red forehead and comforted her.
Su Nan subconsciously rubbed his forehead against his broad palm, like a lazy kitten.
Her small gesture of dependence and trust made Zhou Rang pause. He raised the corners of his lips without saying a word, feeling very pleased. However, the heartbeat as loud as a drum was probably only heard by him.
After Su Nan pondered for a moment, he whispered again: "But I'm afraid of sleeping alone."
Her little hands also climbed up Zhou Rang's arm and refused to let go.
