After making sure that Liu Yong was dead, Zhao Hui carefully cleaned up his traces, not missing a single footprint or handprint, and left while the moon was dark and the wind was strong.
Zhao Hui did not take a long-distance bus, but rode the bicycle given to him by Cheng Qiao to leave the county town overnight. It took him nearly ten or twenty hours to reach Chuncheng Railway Station and buy a train ticket to the Northwest.
While he was waiting for the train, he sold his bicycle at a low price and exchanged it for a lot of national food coupons and other bills from others. He also bought a lot of food and drinks and took them on the train.
It turned out that his father, wife and children were secretly sent to a farm in the northwest overnight. Why was it sent secretly? Of course, it was to prevent Zhao Hui from having time to rescue them.
Zhao Hui touched the ample money and tickets in his underwear pocket and felt a little safe. When he got there, he would take a look at the situation first and then find a way to get close to his father and wife.
The only pity is that Liu Yong refused to reveal the name of the person behind the scenes even if he died, because if he betrayed this person, his parents and brothers in the capital would not have a good ending, so he didn't dare to take this gamble.
Liu Yong also knew that he was doomed. A dying man speaks well. He told Zhao Hui not to return to the capital because that man had always hated the Zhao family. As for why he hated the Zhao family, he didn't know.
Zhao Hui hesitated for a few seconds, but still cut Liu Yong's throat with a knife. If it weren't for his betrayal, the Zhao family would not have fallen so quickly.
On the train, Zhao Hui picked up paper and pen, ready to write a letter to Cheng Qiao, but after writing only two words, he tore the letter into pieces and threw them out of the window.
For her safety, he decided not to contact her anymore, because now that Liu Yong was dead, the man behind the scenes in the capital would never let it go.
Cheng Qiao hadn't been eating or sleeping well these past few days, and she looked visibly haggard. Li Huan felt so distressed that he decided to take her to visit her house in the county town.
Everything that was originally placed in the house was placed in its original position intact. Except for the bicycle, Zhao Hui did not even take away a towel, as if this person had never appeared.
"My uncle must have left safely."
When Cheng Qiao saw that the bicycle was gone and the house was so clean, she knew that Zhao Hui must have left safely. No one in such a panic would think of cleaning the house.
Seeing that Cheng Qiao was relieved, Li Huan also put down his worry. He took Cheng Qiao to a state-owned restaurant, had a good meal with her, and also bought a few lunch boxes of meat dishes.
The two went to the supply and marketing cooperative again. Li Bing would be returning to the team tomorrow, so they had to buy some things for Li Bing to take away, especially cakes and candies, so that Li Bing could take them to sweeten the people in the team.
On the way, Cheng Qiao took out a few packs of cigarettes, a few bottles of white wine, and a large bag of beef tendons. These were gifts for Li Bing. When going back to his hometown, he always had to bring something back as a gift.
Xu Laidi stood on the road at the entrance of the village. Despite the cold wind, she still persisted. She saw Li Huan taking Cheng Qiao out of the village. When they come back, they will definitely have good things in their hands.
Sure enough, Xu Laidi saw from afar Li Huan riding a bicycle with the handlebars full of tightly wrapped packages. Cheng Qiao was sitting behind him with a large package in her arms.
"Cheng Qiao, Cheng Qiao, please stop for a moment."
Xu Laidi stood in the middle of the path and stretched out his hands to stop Li Huan. Li Huan narrowed his eyes and exerted force on his feet. If he didn't move out of the way, he would deserve to be hit to death.
"I am pregnant… "
When Xu Laidi saw Li Huan's posture, he was so scared that he shouted loudly. Li Huan stepped on the brakes with both hands, and Cheng Qiao hit his head heavily on Li Huan's back due to inertia.
Li Huan felt the pain in his back and quickly got off the bike, using his body to support the bike. His hand had already touched Cheng Qiao's head: "Where did it hurt? Is it serious?"
Cheng Qiao was holding things in both hands and had no way to free her hands to touch the painful place, so she could only let Li Huan search her head like looking for fleas.
When Xu Laidi saw how Li Huan treated Cheng Qiao, and thought of how he was in Chen Dazhu's hands, hungry and cold, and was beaten from time to time, and how his life was extremely difficult, his heart couldn't help but twist.
She wanted to say something back, but when she thought of her purpose, she clenched her hands into fists and almost bit her lips.
"Cheng Qiao, I'm pregnant and there's nothing to eat at home. Can you give me something to eat?"
Xu Laidi couldn't help but speak. The couple were wearing thick cotton-padded coats, hats, gloves and scarves, but she didn't even have a scarf except for a somewhat worn-out cotton-padded jacket.
"You're pregnant, congratulations."
Cheng Qiao looked at Xu Laidi's belly and felt that the opportunity for revenge was coming soon. At that time, she would also drown her child in the river, one life for another.
Xu Laidi had an ominous feeling when he saw the gloom in Cheng Qiao's eyes, but she was really hungry now, so he would even give her something to eat or ask her to kneel down.
"Xu Laidi, what does your pregnancy have to do with my Cheng Qiao? It's not my Cheng Qiao's child. If you're hungry, go find the child's father. You can find Cheng Qiao."
Seeing that Cheng Qiao was fine, Li Huan got back on the bicycle, waited for Cheng Qiao to sit properly, pedaled hard twice, and pedaled past Xu Laidi.
Xu Laidi's eyes shot out vicious looks, and he was about to reach out to push Cheng Qiao off the bicycle. Anyway, I'm starving to death, so you can't live either.
"Xu Laidi..."
An angry roar came from behind Xu Laidie, and Xu Laidie quickly put down her hand which had just been half raised. Chen Dazhu rushed to Xu Laidie in two steps and raised his hand to slap her in the face.
Xu Laidi was so scared that he covered his face and squatted down. Chen Dazhu wanted to attack her, but thinking that the woman was pregnant with his child, he did not hit her.
"If you dare to hurt others again, I will be rude to you."
"Chen Dazhu, I know what's on your mind. You like..."
"Pah..."
Chen Dazhu, who originally didn't want to fight, slapped him anyway, then touched the half of Xu Laidi's face that was hit, and shook his head in great sorrow: "You are ignorant, you are too ignorant."
Xu Laidi had tears in his eyes and tried his best to hide his hatred. Then Chen Dazhui grabbed his shoulders and walked him home. Since he couldn't get anything to eat, he would just starve.
Mother Li is cooking at home. Her eldest son will leave tomorrow and she doesn’t know when they will meet again, so she has to prepare enough things.
You don't need to prepare clothes, shoes and socks, as the army will provide them. Just prepare some more food, such as meat sauce, chili sauce, peanut butter, bacon, cured chicken, and beef jerky.
These were all obtained by Cheng Qiao and Li Huan from the black market. They said that they would all be taken away by their eldest brother. Cheng Qiao also asked Li's mother to fry the refined white flour. In the future, when they were hungry, they only had to scoop two spoonfuls of fried wheat flour and add some hot water to fill their stomachs.
Li Huan also went to Ye Jun's place and got a lot of medicines for injuries and anti-inflammation. Don't underestimate these medicines, they can save lives at critical moments.
