After Zhang Chenyi left, Gong Xiangqin stood in place, waiting anxiously, seeing that ten minutes had passed, but Zhang Chenyi had not come back, and the anxiety in her heart was getting stronger and stronger.

She went from standing quietly waiting to unconsciously stomping her feet in place and turning in circles, stretching her neck and constantly looking ahead, holding her breath and listening to the small movements.

However, there was no special movement at all, only a few dog barks occasionally, and even the houses with lights on became fewer and fewer, and the villagers were almost asleep.

"Click, click......"

After a while, Gong Xiangqin heard the footsteps, she was overjoyed, and thought it was Zhang Chenyi back.

However, she listened intently and judged that the footsteps were too heavy, it could not be Zhang Chenyi's, and the direction she came from was not quite correct.

Gong Xiangqin tilted her head slightly, looked behind her on the left, and saw a light coming out of the alley in front of her.

Her heart tightened, and she knew that this man must have a flashlight in his hand, and if he walked towards her, he would definitely see herself.

Gong Xiangqin's heart lifted, she hesitated for a second, but she still decided to hide, and she was about to come out from under the eaves, ready to find a wheat straw stack or something to hide.

"Who?!"

Gong Xiangqin came out from under the eaves, and just took two steps forward, she heard a loud shout behind her, she thought that this person was calling herself, her steps trembled, her heart suddenly jumped into her throat, and her back was also shocked into a cold sweat.

What to do?

Do you want to run away right away? Or do you want to turn around?

At this moment, Gong Xiangqin's mind was quickly spinning, analyzing the possible results of these two behaviors, and analyzing whether she could bear it.

However, before she could make a decision, she heard Zhang Chenyi's calm and calm voice, "Secretary Wang, it's me, Zhang Chenyi." ”

"Oh, it's Chen Yi, why did you come back so late? I've seen no one in your house for the past two days......" Secretary Wang breathed a sigh of relief, but asked in a tone that could not hide his surprise.

"Whew......" Gong Xiangqin exhaled a big breath, feeling that a heart that was about to pop out finally fell back again, she hurriedly walked two steps forward, hiding behind a wheat straw stack, while taking a deep breath to calm her emotions, while listening to Zhang Chenyi and Secretary Wang's greetings.

After another half a minute, Gong Xiangqin heard the two separate.

After a few seconds again, she heard footsteps again, but this time it felt more brisk, and it was the sound of running, it was a movement she was familiar with, and she didn't have to look back at all, Gong Xiangqin was sure that the person who came over this time must be Zhang Chenyi.

"Xiangqin?" Zhang Chenyi trotted to the eaves just now, and after finding that there was no one there, he took a few steps forward and shouted in a suppressed voice.

"I'm here." Gong Xiangqin hurriedly ran out from behind the wheat straw stack, and the moment she saw Zhang Chenyi, she grabbed his arm a little uncontrollably, and she was excited and had the urge to cry.

"Why have you been around for so long?" Gong Xiangqin asked in a low voice, with a little worry and complaint in her tone, as well as grievances after being frightened.

"Sorry for frightening you." Zhang Chenyi gently patted her back with his other hand, took her into his arms again, couldn't help but kiss her on the top of her hair, and gently comforted: "It's okay, let's go home now." ”

“…… Well. Gong Xiangqin nodded, did not push him away, and could not refuse his reassurance.

Gong Xiangqin looked at the dilapidated and dilapidated courtyard by the faint moonlight, and then looked at the broken bricks and tiles that were thrown everywhere, and couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation in her heart.

"This house is demolished ......" Gong Xiangqin started, but she didn't know how to continue talking later, she bit her lip, and finally gave up.

"Pretty good." Zhang Chenyi glanced at her and said, "I'll just cover it later." ”

Gong Xiangqin was stunned for a moment, nodded, and just wanted to ask him if he had a key, when he saw him walking towards the pigsty, he couldn't help but follow him, and looked at a person lying there in surprise.

"You killed?" Gong Xiangqin looked at Zhang Chenyi, "You were ...... just now"

"He's not dead, I'm stunned." Zhang Chenyi said to her: "Don't worry, I have checked all around, and he will keep an eye on him alone." I dragged him in and tied him up. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Chenyi bent down and carried the man directly to his shoulders, and when he walked to the door of the hall, he rudely fell to the ground, and after waking up the pain of the fall, he slashed the man's neck with one hand and knocked him out again.

Gong Xiangqin saw his movements, and felt that her neck hurt, and she couldn't help shrinking.

Zhang Chenyi didn't have a key, and he didn't need it, the old lock on the door couldn't stop him at all, so he casually found a thin wire and pried the door open.

"Come in." Zhang Chenyi pushed open the door and said to her: "Just turn on the lights, there are no more of them in the village, just himself, it will be safe here tonight......"

"Smack." Gong Xiangqin skillfully walked to the place where the switch was, pulled the rope, and turned on the light, the moment the light was bright, she couldn't help but squint her eyes, and after a few seconds of adaptation, she looked at Zhang Chenyi.

"You're hurt?!" Gong Xiangqin saw that his arm was bleeding, and immediately ran to him anxiously, "How did you get hurt?" I'll get you gauze and bandage it quickly. ”

As he spoke, Gong Xiangqin took out gauze and potion from his handbag with one hand and some effort to bandage him.

"I'll do it myself. Don't move your right arm. Zhang Chenyi took the gauze, glanced at the wound, and comforted her: "He cut it with a knife just now, and the wound is not deep." ”

"My right arm is fine, and your hedgehog palm should also be washed with hot water, and then smeared with some potion to disinfect." Gong Xiangqin said: "I'll go to the kitchen to boil water, you rest first." ”

"This should be said by me, you touch yourself, the fever has not subsided, you sit here peacefully, you don't move, I am comfortable." Zhang Chenyi pressed her to the chair and stared into her eyes to make her reassure.

“…… Well, I'm not moving, I'm lying here. Gong Xiangqin raised her hand to make a guarantee.

When Zhang Chenyi heard her words, he shook his hand and gave her a broken head, and scolded softly: "Don't talk nonsense, you're not dead yet." ”

Gong Xiangqin, "......"

Watching Zhang Chenyi go out of the hall to boil water in the kitchen, Gong Xiangqin felt a little bored after sitting for a while, so she stood up, looked at the furnishings in the room, and slowly walked back and forth.

In fact, the things that are placed here are almost the same as when she was still here last year, except that many of them have fallen into dust, and apparently no one has cleaned them up.

Gong Xiangqin slowly walked to the inner room, suddenly stared, walked two steps quickly, and took down the cardboard box from the windowsill, which contained rags, scissors, and a pair of tiger head shoes that had almost been completed......
