Chapter 139 Processing
Yi Chi came out when Jiang Yu came to knock on the door. He stood by the door, looking at her holding a half-dried tree pole, and asked her in surprise, "Where is the person?"
"It's Liang Shugen, how are you going to solve it?" Jiang Yu asked him.
If he lets him go, Liang Shugen will definitely make a fuss when he wakes up. He was already struggling to find an opportunity to deal with Yi Chi, and now Jiang Yu acted on impulse and knocked him out. Isn't this giving Liang Shugen a handle?
Yi Chi obviously thought of this as well, frowned slightly, and then said to Jiang Yu, "You go back first, I'll take care of it."
"Can...you do it yourself?" Jiang Yu was worried. In this situation, getting rid of Liang Shugen was the best solution. This guy was always looking for trouble with Yi Chi, and keeping him around would cause endless trouble.
Although she said that, her hands were behind her back, tightly gripping the wooden stick.
"I know where the wolf's den is." Yi Chi is not the kind of person who Jiang Yu thinks can remain kind after suffering a lot. He has experienced so much darkness that he naturally knows when to be soft-hearted and when to be cruel.
Jiang Yu looked at his expression. He just looked calmly at Liang Shugen who was lying unconscious on the ground. He did not show any hesitation or entanglement. "How about I help drag you over? You are in such a terrible state now. Do you have the strength?" Don't be too tired and stay in the wolf's den!
Yi Chi looked over and saw that Jiang Yu was really worried that he couldn't do it, so he smiled and said, "I can do it, don't worry. Go back quickly, it's so late."
Jiang Yu was a little worried, but since everyone said so, she didn't force it. She went into the house, took the things Yi Chi packed for her, and went down the mountain.
After watching her walk away, Yi Chi went into the house, found a black cloth bag and hemp rope, tied up Liang Shugen's hands and feet, gagged him, and put a hood on his head.
Then he closed the door, carried the still unconscious Liang Shugen on his back, and went into the mountains.
Tuanzi was still hunting at night. He smelled Yi Chi's scent and ran over from a long distance. Then he sniffed the unfamiliar smell in confusion and howled softly.
Yi Chi took two breaths. He was actually quite strong, but he was very hungry. He had been a little weak for some time. It was a bit difficult for him to carry someone into the mountains all of a sudden.
"Let's go to Aowu--there." He imitated the howling of a wolf to communicate with Tuanzi.
Tuanzi understood as soon as he heard it and immediately led the way for him.
Because of Tuanzi's presence, no snakes would come near him, so Yi Chi was safe all the way.
The wolves here were hiding relatively deep inside because of the garrison, so Yi Chi still had a long way to go.
After Jiang Yu returned to the house, he quickly washed up and lay down. Before going to bed, he was still thinking about Yi Chi. He didn't know whether he could successfully reach the area where the wolves were, or whether he would forget to finish up and clean up the traces.
Forget it, let’s get up early tomorrow and take a look.
But Liang Shugen's mother should know his whereabouts, which is also a problem. Besides, the only strong laborer in the family is missing, and the old lady will definitely make a fuss. So what should Yi Chi do?
Jiang Yu suddenly couldn't fall asleep.
What to do? Deal with the remaining one as well?
Jiang Yu sat up and wondered if it was necessary to do so.
Liang Shugen has a small family. After his father died, he and his mother were left alone. As the family was poor, they had no money to marry a wife, and they had no sisters to marry, so the relationship has been delayed until now.
Jiang Yu thought again and again. After all, this is a human life. If it is possible to deal with it without extreme means, it is better not to use them. Let's think about whether there is any other way to cover it up.
For example, Liang Shugen often stays away from home, going out to find young widows and bad friends to eat and drink for free. He actually does that, so it makes sense to use it as an explanation.
Although those things happened during the slack season, Liang Shugen basically doesn't go out now as it is the busy season. But if he wants to relax because he is too tired, it is understandable, right?
After Jiang Yu seemed to have convinced himself, he lay down again.
Maybe Yi Chi shouldn't have rejected her just now.
But once you actually take that step, no one knows whether the result will be good or bad.
She closed her eyes and thought to herself that she should wait and see. If Yi Chi brought the clothes back, she could disguise herself. Tearing them to make it look like she fell into the water was also an idea.
When the sky was just beginning to turn pale, Jiang Yu got up. She quickly packed up her things and went up the mountain to check if there were any obvious traces left near the cabin.
After she knocked the man unconscious last night, she dragged him out of the cabin, so there would naturally be traces of dragging, which had to be covered up.
Yi Chi carried Liang Shugen up the mountain. Fortunately, it had not rained recently, so the ground was not wet at all and no deep footprints were left.
When Yi Chi returned exhausted, he did not expect to see Jiang Yu again near Yaoer Mountain. He was stunned for a moment, standing in the morning light in a daze.
"You just came back now?" Doesn't that mean you didn't sleep all night? It's true that his health is too poor. It's hard for him to walk with one person! Jiang Yu didn't know the location of the wolf's den. He thought it wouldn't be far away. Who knew that he actually had to climb three mountains.
Yi Chi walked over weakly and nodded slightly.
Seeing that he was not in good condition, Jiang Yu subconsciously reached out to hold his shoulders, "Are you tired?" She exerted a little force and led him towards the wooden house.
Yi Chi hummed vaguely. He seemed calm, but in fact he was tense all over. If he hadn't tried hard to restrain himself, he might have been so excited that he trembled. His ears were already red.
Jiang Yu didn't care. He pushed him to the door of the wooden house and asked him to go in and rest. "Have you gone to the brigade headquarters to cancel your leave?"
"Not yet." Yi Chi was cleaning up yesterday.
"Then you might as well rest for a few more days and say you are sick. Anyway, you are as thin as a stick after going out. It is normal to have a fever and be sick." Jiang Yu thought this was reasonable and nodded in self-affirmation.
Yi Chi sat on the edge of the kang, catching his breath. He had rushed back and was afraid of being seen before dawn.
Jiang Yu scooped white rice from his grain jar. She only knew how to cook simple dishes or a pot of stew.
It was just breakfast, so I didn't want to make it complicated, so I cooked some vegetable porridge for Yi Chi. I put rice and water in a pottery pot and started to boil, and chopped the vegetables and put them aside for later use.
"I'll get you two eggs." Jiang Yu glanced at his inventory. Maybe because he had just returned, many things were gone.
Yi Chi watched her leave eagerly, listening to the crackling of firewood in the stove. The bad mood that was caused by doing something bad just now also rose and dissipated with the smoke.
But soon, another worry came to my mind again.
What should I do? If Jiang Yu leaves in the future and I am left alone to continue living in this place, will I still be able to hold on?
Yi Chi knew that all the educated youth wanted to leave. Jiang Yu was also an educated youth. She was not a villager here and would not stay here forever. If she left, what should he do when he was used to looking for her?
Yi Chi felt bitter when he thought of his grandfather who had watched him leave. The crescent moon in his palm was sunken from pressing too hard, but he seemed to feel no pain at all. He was just immersed in the sadness of parting that would appear at any time, and his eyes were red.
