Walking along the river, you can see the wide water surface like a moving mirror, reflecting the trees on the bank. However, it is so lonely in winter, with dead trees and weeds everywhere. It has no beauty and even has a strange vicissitudes of life.
The cold wind made Yang Feng and Zhong Xiaodie wrap themselves tightly in their cotton-padded jackets, cursing and quickening their pace.
"It's so cold in this lousy weather." Yang Feng sneezed.
"That's right. Let's hurry up and try to get the money from the county town today." Zhong Xiaodie's heart started beating fast when she thought of the one dollar.
The two walked quickly and soon arrived at the place where the snow cream was buried in front. They looked around and didn't see anyone, so they took a branch and started to dig up the dead leaves that were used as a cover, and then dug the soil.
The soil had just been turned over yesterday and was still brightly colored, forming a sharp contrast with the dry and shriveled soil around it.
Yang Feng took the vanishing cream out of the soil, and without even thinking it was dirty, she wiped it clean with her clothes. She carefully unscrewed the lid and found that the white cream inside was not contaminated. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"We're going to sell it anyway, so let's use up the rest. We can't waste it." Zhong Xiaodie looked at the box of vanishing cream greedily, and while speaking, she subconsciously touched her face which had become smooth and tender since she applied the stuff.
Hearing this, Yang Feng nodded in agreement and directly scooped out a piece of white paste and applied it on his face.
Seeing this, Zhong Xiaodie felt distressed: "Oh, leave some for me, why did you apply so much at once?"
As he said that, he snatched the vanishing cream from Yang Feng's hand, took it in his own hand, and quickly stretched out his index finger to dig out all the remaining cream.
"You..." Yang Feng wanted to say something angrily, but when she looked at the amount of lotion on her hands, she shut up.
Just as the two were applying lotion, several men suddenly emerged from the weeds by the river and captured them without saying a word.
The sound of the silver handcuffs being locked was particularly loud in the empty riverside.
"Who are you? Help! I've been kidnapped! Damn it! Is there no law?" Zhong Xiaodie still had a large amount of unapplied face cream on her face, which made her look particularly funny.
"Help, help."
Yang Feng was pressed down on the pile of mud, flattening the hole she had dug earlier. Because her face was covered with slippery cream, her cheeks were covered with mud and dirt as she struggled.
They kept cursing, but stopped abruptly when they saw that the other person was wearing a uniform.
"Comrade police, we didn't do anything. What are you doing?" After calming down for a while, Zhong Xiaodie started shouting at the top of her voice to protest her injustice.
Yang Feng was so frightened that his soul was out of his body and his body was shaking non-stop.
"You know what you have done." Zhou Rang stood aside, looking coldly at the two people lying on the ground.
The last time they spoke harshly to Su Nan, he took note of it, and this time he was finally able to deal with them.
"Comrade Zhou, we are all educated youth. You can't just stand by and watch someone die. It's unjust. The police beat up the people. I want to write a letter of denunciation." Zhong Xiaodie kept resisting.
Listening to her distorting the truth, not only Zhou Rang and the police were speechless, even Su Nan who arrived later was speechless.
"We have all the witnesses and evidence. We are arresting you for intentional homicide and theft." Chen Ming told Zhong Xiaodie and Yang Feng the reason in a loud voice, trying to extinguish the hope in their hearts.
"No, we didn't kill anyone. Who saw it?" But Zhong Xiaodie still insisted that she didn't kill anyone.
Liu Yu and the others are all dead, where can we find any witnesses?
"Of course it's the victim himself." Su Nan walked to Zhou Rang'e with an indifferent look in her eyes. She didn't feel any sympathy for people like Zhong Xiaodie and Yang Feng. She just felt that they deserved it because of their own actions.
To sum it up in two words: you deserve it.
"Su Nan, didn't you say that Liu Yu and the others were dead?" Zhong Xiaodie roared at Su Nan with a ferocious expression on her face.
Su Nan spread his hands and smiled: "When did I ever say they were dead? It's all just something you made up in your imagination."
Zhong Xiaodie thought about it carefully and realized that Su Nan had indeed never mentioned the outcome of Liu Yu and the others' death. Everything else was guessed by others.
"We don't have many people. Police comrades, you can't believe their one-sided words." Zhong Xiaodie grabbed Chen Ming's trouser legs and cried bitterly.
"Su Nan, we have no grudges against each other. Why did you help Liu Yu and the others to harm me? It was just that the two of them were hiding in the bushes doing something shameless, and when we saw them, they panicked and fell into the river."
Zhong Xiaodie spoke with confidence and in a loud voice, and people who were not in the know might actually believe her lies.
"No grudges? Didn't you steal my vanishing cream?" Su Nan stepped forward and picked up the box of vanishing cream on the ground. She smelled the scent and it was indeed the scent of her famous brand face cream. She was sure that Zhong Xiaodie and the others had stolen it.
Zhong Xiaodie rolled her eyes and yelled again, "Why do you say it's yours? This was bought by Yang Feng's mother and sent to her from her hometown."
After saying that, he stretched out his foot and kicked Yang Feng. The latter seemed to have just been kicked awake. He nodded in a trance and agreed: "Yes, yes, my mother sent it."
Su Nan chuckled coldly: "You may not know that although the packaging of this box of vanishing cream is the same as other ones on the market, the cream inside is unique in the world, and even the fragrance cannot be copied."
Because it is mixed with fairy spring, all aspects of its attributes have been multiplied.
Seeing that they were so shocked that they couldn't speak, Su Nan stood up and handed the box of vanishing cream to Chen Ming.
Smiling, she said, "Comrade police, you can investigate the truthfulness of what I said. If it's true, you can convict them of theft."
After a pause, he continued, "As for the crime of intentional homicide, if we interrogate them more, we will naturally be able to obtain testimony. Few people here can withstand interrogation at the police station."
For example, Yang Feng, who was lying on the ground in a daze.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have done it in the first place.
When this incident happened, the whole village was shocked. After a long period of silence, adults did not allow their children to run to the river.
The interrogation results came out soon. Faced with the irrefutable evidence, the two confessed to their crimes. They were each sentenced to more than ten years and sent to Northwest Prison for reform.
Not only did Liu Yu and Wang Hongzhi recover and return to the educated youth camp, they also received compensation. In particular, Wang Hongzhi received an award for bravery and self-sacrifice from the county and police station.
What is even more unexpected is that Liu Yu and Wang Hongzhi decided to get married after the New Year, and even applied for land from the village to build a new house as their wedding house.
Some people believe that it was because Wang Hongzhi saved someone that Liu Yufang fell in love with him.
Others believe that the woman had no choice but to marry the man because the two of them were wet and hugged each other in the river for so long that she lost her "innocence".
However, those who know the situation know that the two are truly in love and are devoted to each other.
