Duan Wujiu didn't even glance at the corpse on the ground. He turned around and came to the heating bed to check Liu Zhiheng's condition. With just one glance, he could tell that Liu Zhiheng had been drugged.
"Ah Heng, how are you? It's all my fault. I came back late."
Liu Zhiheng shook her head. Her breathing was rapid and her whole body was limp. She could only push herself to get up.
"I'm fine, I can still bear it," Liu Zhiheng glanced at Fang Chengcai, who was lying on the ground in a horrific death state, and said, "Don't worry about me, go get rid of the body first."
"Where is she?" Duan Wu Jiu glanced at Chuncao, who was sitting on the ground, bound and gagged, and said with a cold expression, "She has seen it all, she can't stay any longer."
Chun Cao was so frightened that her face was filled with tears and snot. She shook her head crazily and grunted in horror.
"She helped me just now. It doesn't matter. She stays here and I will handle it myself. You go and dispose of the body immediately." Liu Zhiheng gritted his teeth and said, "Take off his clothes, tear them into pieces, and then throw the body away. Deeper in the mountains, there will be wild animals that will eat the corpse, so be sure to tear his face apart."
Liu Zhiheng had poured boiling water on his face before, and she was worried that seeing the burns on his face after finding the body would arouse suspicion.
Duan Wu Jiu nodded and flew out without any further words, carrying the body.
Only Liu Zhiheng and Chun Cao were left in the house.
Liu Zhiheng breathed out the hot air, resisting the unbearable heat in his body, and struggled to lean on the soft pillow, looking at Chun Cao who was sitting on the ground and was already scared to death.
"Do you want to live?"
Chun Cao nodded wildly.
"That brother of yours is not a good person. He deserves to die. Since others are dead, the outcome cannot be changed. You, the living person, have to make plans for yourself, right?"
Chun Cao nodded again.
"Then come here."
With only her hands tied, Chun Cao stood up against the wall with difficulty and walked to the heated bed.
"Our home is far away from the village, and this is the foot of the mountain. No one can hear you when you shout. Even if someone can hear you, my cousin can kill you and bury you when people come, so don't scream. ,understand?"
Chun Cao nodded eagerly.
Only then did Liu Zhiheng reach out and take out the sweat towel from her mouth. Chun Cao was finally able to speak.
"I will never tell anyone!" Chuncao said as soon as he could speak: "He has always been bad to me. He usually either beats or scolds me. If he dies, he will die. I won't tell anyone. , please, don’t let your cousin kill me.”
Fang Chengcai's death just now was the first time in Chuncao's life that she saw someone die in front of her, and it really frightened her.
She cried so much that she had snot and tears, but she couldn't wipe them away.
Liu Zhiheng knew that Chuncao had no feelings for her family. In the book, she wanted to get rid of the Fang family. Even when she later became Xie Tinglan's concubine, she ignored the Fang family's requests.
Liu Zhiheng nodded and asked, "Are your parents at home?"
Chuncao shook his head, "My parents have gone to the county to work part-time, and they won't be back for a few days. My brother is the only one at home now."
"Does your brother go out often?"
"My brother is a well-known gangster in the village. He hangs around. I don't know how many girls he has ruined. Sometimes he doesn't go home."
"Okay, you go back today. When tomorrow evening, you ask someone to find your parents. Just say that your brother didn't come back all day yesterday and you are a little worried. If your parents ask about your brother, go Whatever he did, just tell him that he heard that someone found old wild ginseng in the mountains, and he had the idea to dig ginseng in the mountains, and you can't stop him."
"Okay," Chun Cao nodded wildly, "I understand!"
"Were you injured by your brother?" Liu Zhiheng looked at the blood on Chun Cao's forehead and asked: "What possible explanation can you think of for your injuries? Otherwise, I'm afraid it will arouse people's suspicion."
"There is no need to find any explanation. He always beats me, and I get some injuries from time to time. My family is used to it and won't suspect it."
Liu Zhiheng looked at Chuncao and sighed: "You are you, your brother is your brother, you were injured to save me, I will remember this feeling. Turn around."
Chun Cao turned around and Liu Zhiheng took off the belt that bound her.
"Take this belt and burn it in the kitchen."
Chun Cao nodded and went to help Liu Zhiheng again. Seeing the blush on her face, she was a little worried.
"what would you do?"
"Help me get some snow from outside and put it in the tub."
"good!"
Chun Cao hurried to the kitchen, burned the belt, then took the bucket, got several buckets of snow from outside and put them into the bathtub.
"Help me in."
Chun Cao helped Liu Zhiheng get into the ice bucket. The sudden coolness made the hot feeling all over his body subside a little. Only then did Liu Zhiheng feel that he had calmed down a little.
Seeing that Chun Cao was still here, Liu Zhiheng said, "Go back quickly. You have a younger brother at home. Staying outside for a long time will arouse suspicion."
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, go back quickly."
Chun Cao walked to the door with his head lowered. He didn't know what he was thinking. He also found a piece of wood and repaired the door that was damaged by Fang Chengcai.
"What are you doing?" Liu Zhiheng asked.
"Repair the door..."
Liu Zhiheng couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, waved his hand and said: "Go back quickly."
Only then did Spring Grass run away in a hurry.
…
Not long after Chun Cao left, Duan Wu Jiu came back.
Duan Wujiu closed the door and came to Liu Zhiheng's side.
"I've disposed of the body as you told me."
Liu Zhiheng closed his eyes and nodded, and then said: "The water tank and the food in the pot at home have to be thrown away, because they were drugged by Fang Chengcai."
"How much medicine did you take?"
"Actually, it's not much. Fang Chengcai said it was Chun Cao who made the medicine. I thought that Chun Cao must have snatched it from me before. The medicine I made was not a powerful thing in the first place, and I still have my constitution. I can't handle these things. It’s particularly sensitive, so I can’t get over it, but it’s much better now.”
Duan Wu Jiu saw that the snow in the bucket had melted quite a bit, and then he touched Liu Zhiheng's body and found that it was extremely cold.
"You can't do this anymore, you'll get frostbite."
Liu Zhiheng nodded and said weakly: "Bring me out. I should be fine."
Duan Wujiu immediately carried Liu Zhiheng out.
Liu Zhiheng was indeed frozen all over. In this situation, so many men and women could not take care of themselves. Duan Wujiu immediately took off all the wet clothes on her body, not daring to look at them, wiped them randomly, and then Wrapped Liu Zhiheng in a quilt, placed her on the heated kang, and held her in his arms.
After a while, Liu Zhiheng felt that the temperature on his body had returned and he could feel his hands and feet.
However, to Liu Zhiheng's helplessness, as the temperature of his body increased, the bone-gnawing itching sensation returned...
Liu Zhiheng blushed, leaned in Dragon Boat Festival's arms, and couldn't help but let out a cry.
Duan Wu Jiu also noticed something was wrong with the person in his arms.
Looking down, Liu Zhiheng's face was flushed, his eyes were filled with ambiguous moisture, he was humming, and his breathing was quickening again.
Duan Wujiu's face also turned red. He hugged the person in his arms tightly and whispered in Liu Zhiheng's ear in a hoarse voice: "Ah Heng, I... can help you..."
