The village chief tightened his grip on the letter and continued reading.
"In addition to lust, there is another reason for revenge, revenge on the man who betrayed me. Yes, before you, I once loved a man deeply, and we made a lifelong promise to grow old together. , he also said the same thing to me as you, saying that he would take care of me all my life. But in the end, he failed me because his parents did not allow him to marry a woman with no father, no mother, and no power like me. , under strong pressure, he chose to separate from me, so I was heartbroken, so I left that place of right and wrong and came to Yanzhou."
As he read it, the village chief couldn't help but sigh.
His eyes wandered over Tang Zhou from time to time, making him look even more pitiful.
"As for you, Tang Zhou, I have told you more than once that you are good-looking, and I have never seen a man as good-looking as you before, so I thought of kidnapping you to save my life and make you stay with me. This is a way to get back at that man and make him regret it. I only admire your appearance and never have any true love. From beginning to end, I am still thinking about the man who hurt me deeply. And a few days ago, he He came to me secretly and said that he had convinced his parents to allow me to come over. He also said that he didn't care about my experience with you. He said that he regretted it and that he really loved me, so he was sorry. Tang Zhou, I’m going back to him.”
These words were more hurtful than the last, and even Yu Shan, who was listening beside him, couldn't help but sigh deeply.
The village chief clenched his fists, feeling indignant at what happened to Tang Zhou.
"I'm sorry for hurting you, but I hope you can let it go. Just like you said before, just think of it as repaying a favor. After all, it's true that I saved you. Maybe you can feel better if you think about it this way, and we'll just be together. Qing, you still have to live your own life in the future, and I still want to wish you happiness."
Further down, is the last sentence.
"I'm sorry, we'll see you later."
The village chief put down the letter, looked at Tang Zhou with regret and said: "Master Tang, your faith is over, you..."
He didn't know how to comfort Tang Zhou and struggled for a long time.
"She is not a good woman. Mr. Tang, just forget about her. As she said, you still have your own life to live, and you should live your own life well. That kind of woman is not worth it..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Zhou suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his neck.
"I don't allow you to say that about her. I don't believe a word of what you said or the letter I read. Has she been harmed by you? Who are you, Orion, Aunt, or Liu Yuanwai?"
"I...I don't know...what you said..."
Tang Zhou's attack was really ruthless, but within a moment, the village chief's face turned red from being pinched. He glanced at Yu Shan and asked Yu Shan to help, but Yu Shan stared at Tang Zhou's back and panicked, wanting to help but couldn't. Don't dare to take action.
"You're... bleeding a lot. Please... let go."
"Yu Shan." The village chief stared at Yu Shan anxiously. If Yu Shan didn't take action, he would be strangled to death.
Yu Shan slapped his thigh, turned around, picked up the bench, and threw it at Tang Zhou.
However, Tang Zhou was very alert and easily dodged, causing Yu Shan to miss. He immediately pinned the village chief in front of him and used him to threaten Yu Shan.
"Where did you hide my wife? If you don't release them, I will kill him. I will kill your whole village. I will do what I say. How dare you tamper with the content of the letter and slander her like this?" I won’t spare you if you don’t know whether to live or die.”
Even if he believed that Shen Zhixi had really written a letter to him, he didn't believe that what she wrote would be like this.
She must have been forced, or her letter had been deliberately tampered with.
In short, before he found Shen Zhixi, he would not believe a word of the words in the letter.
"I didn't... didn't..."
The village chief's face turned red, his veins bulged and he was about to suffocate.
Just as he was about to roll his eyes, Tang Zhou behind him suddenly swayed, and his face turned extremely pale. His eyelids gradually became heavier, and the beads of sweat on his forehead became larger and larger. When they fell on his eyelashes, they looked like they were falling from the sky. Tears fell from his eyes.
His moment of relaxation allowed the village chief to find an opportunity, and he suddenly leaned forward and escaped from Tang Zhou's grasp.
Tang Zhou's steps were frivolous and he was swaying as if he was about to fall down at any moment.
Perhaps it was because some of the effects of the drug were still left, and the wound on his back had recurred and collapsed. More and more blood was flowing, seeping down, and even the bloody footprints were stained on his feet.
"You...you." The village chief was afraid of himself. He hid at the door and scolded Yu Shan: "Did you save someone? You are such a wolf-hearted thing. You almost strangled me to death."
Yu Shan was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he felt guilty towards the village chief, but on the other hand, he was helpless towards Tang Zhou.
Just as he was thinking about taking advantage of Tang Zhou's bad condition, he might as well knock him out with the handle of the bench. When he turned around, Tang Zhou could no longer hold himself up, and he knelt down on one knee.
He gasped for air, trying to stay awake.
But in the end, his consciousness was like large beads of sweat that fell to the ground and could not be recovered, never to return.
In the end, his body tilted and he fell down.
"Lily of the valley."
Before he passed out, he was still thinking about Shen Zhixi. He really didn't take the letter to heart at all. All he could think about was her safety and self-blame. He blamed himself for being like a waste and falling into coma at every turn.
He only said that if he fainted, what would happen to Suzuran who was in danger?
But he never thought about how he fell into a coma last night.
But even if he thought about it, he probably wouldn't attribute the fault to Shen Zhixi. Even if it was really her own doing, he would only think that she was coerced by others.
"Lily of the Valley..."
*
Shen Zhixi woke up from his dream.
When he opened his eyes, he was still in the carriage.
It was already after noon, and Yuanyang opened the car curtain several times to call her to eat, but he never saw her waking up and did not dare to disturb him. He thought that she had not closed her eyes all night, so he let her sleep a little longer.
There were still busy sounds outside the carriage, but Shen Zhixi's heart was extremely quiet.
When I wake up from a dream, my heart feels empty.
The lily of the valley flower in her arms was still placed steadily, but her body felt like it was tilting upside down. The sudden nausea made her sweat. She couldn't help but bend down and vomit after putting down the flowerpot. .
I just vomited for a long time but couldn't vomit anything out. Instead, I cried a lot of tears.
She felt bad, felt bad in her stomach, and felt bad in her heart.
But she didn't allow the discomfort to last too long, quickly gathered her emotions, opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.
"Miss, you're awake." Yuanyang stood guard outside.
Shen Zhixi nodded at her, and then looked at the bamboo huts in front. All the huts had been bulldozed, and only the old bamboos had to be moved away.
"Go and tell them to plant the bamboos again as soon as they are emptied. They should be indistinguishable from the surrounding bamboo forest. After planting, they should cover the ground with old soil, leaving no trace of new soil."
