The Host in Quick Transmigration Always Wants to Break Her Character

Chapter 123 The Educated Youth Tricked into Going to the Countryside (17)

Seeing Zhao Cheng like this, Er Gou's mother couldn't hold back anymore. Why was this murderer so calm?

Er Gou's mother glanced around; everyone was watching the show, and no one noticed her.

She moved with lightning speed, quickly walking up to Zhao Cheng.

"Slap." Er Gou's mother slapped Zhao Cheng hard across the face. Before she could hit him a second time, the village chief stopped her.

"Let me go! He's a murderer! Give me back my son! Zhao Cheng, you bastard, you'll die a horrible death!"

"Zhao Qing, let me go!"

"Sister-in-law, calm down." The village chief grabbed Er Gou's mother's arm, and seeing that she wasn't struggling as much, he loosened his grip and continued:

"Right now, Brother Zhao Cheng is injured, and the matter is only your sister-in-law's side of the story. There's no evidence, so be careful he doesn't report you."

Zhao Cheng was stunned by the slap from Er Gou's mother. His cheek, which was already swollen and burning with pain, was now even more injured than before. He had finally managed to ignore the slight pain on his face.

Hearing Er Gou's mother's curses, he felt a chill in his heart, but after hearing the village chief's words, he instantly regained his confidence.

Even though the other party appeared to be in a dream, this cannot be used as evidence. He could report Er Gou's mother for harming him for no reason.

"Yes, if my sister-in-law beats me again without even asking what happened, I'll report you to the village committee!"

Zhao Cheng covered his cheek, bared his teeth, and said to Er Gou's mother with a fearless expression.

"Fine! Go ahead and report it! You'll get what's coming to you, I'm telling you."

Er Gou's mother was so angry she laughed. The murderer was trying to frame her first! Heaven has eyes, let's get rid of this bastard! He dared to do it but didn't dare to admit it, and even framed a young girl!

At this moment, Er Gou's mother was in a somewhat deranged state, and Zhao Cheng felt a little scared as he looked at her.

Upon hearing this, the village chief rolled his eyes inwardly. Dreams are not something that can be discussed openly. Although he believed it, others might not.

He observed that Zhao Cheng initially looked somewhat uneasy, but now he seemed to be speaking with a righteous air, going along with his words.

Village chief Zhao Qing felt uneasy.

Does he not know whether he did it himself or not?

[Uncle Zhao Cheng...you really didn't push me into the river?] Lin Jingyi imitated Zhao Ergou's voice to send a secret message to Zhao Cheng.

She couldn't stand Zhao Cheng's smug and self-satisfied demeanor.

Zhao Cheng was startled, and his body trembled.

"Who? Who's speaking!"

He asked the voice that had suddenly appeared, and it sounded so familiar.

As he spoke, he looked around. The doorway was crowded with people, but he couldn't see the small figure in the corner of the room.

"Zhao Cheng, are you feeling guilty?" Er Gou's father was also furious, and seeing Zhao Cheng's state, he couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Cheng ignored Er Gou's father and continued to look around.

[Tell me, did you push me into the river?] Lin Jingyi didn't answer Zhao Ergou's question, but continued to ask.

Zhao Cheng listened to it again and realized that it seemed only he could hear the voice.

He breathed a sigh of relief; at least no one else could hear him, so Zhao Ergou couldn't testify that he had pushed him.

[Zhao Ergou, if you die, just go and reincarnate properly, okay? I'll burn whatever you want for you...] Zhao Cheng thought the other person could hear him even if he was speaking in his mind, so he rambled on and on in his mind.

Lin Jingyi stated that Zhao Cheng does not transmit his voice, so she cannot hear anything.

Zhao Cheng looked conflicted and torn.

[Did you push me?] Lin Jingyi ignored what he was going to say, and imitated Zhao Ergou's voice, asking again in a cold tone.

[It's me...]

Zhao Cheng swallowed hard and looked around for Zhao Ergou.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Zhao Cheng doesn't seem to be in good condition right now. Let's come back to see him next time. We'll look for evidence."

Zhao Cheng thought he was having a conversation with Zhao Ergou in his mind, but to others, he appeared to be sitting blankly on the bed, his expression changing from time to time, and he couldn't hear anyone calling him.

The village chief and the villagers were all baffled by Zhao Cheng's dazed expression.

Seeing this, the village chief had no choice but to speak to Er Gou's parents.

"Qing, I beg you, give my son justice, give Fenfen justice!" Er Gou's mother grabbed the village chief's hands, pleading with tears streaming down her face.

They have wronged Er Gou and Fen Fen.

Er Gou's father, standing to the side, also had slightly red eyes. Although men are not said to easily shed tears, when they were sad, they could not hold back their tears.

"I'm begging you too, brother."

"Okay, brother and sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely look for evidence, but brother and sister-in-law, don't have too high expectations."

It has been two months since Zhao Ergou drowned. Fenfen and Zhao Ergou have conflicting accounts, and now Ergou's parents are saying that Ergou appeared to them in a dream, but this cannot be taken as evidence.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Brother Qing." Er Gou's father wiped away his tears and collapsed to the ground, crying so hard that Er Gou's mother, who kept calling her son's name, helped him away from the place.

It is daytime now, and Zhao Ergou, as a ghost, cannot be exposed to sunlight, so he remains in the Ding residence.

Lin Jingyi's imitation of Zhao Ergou's voice was merely an attempt to scare Zhao Cheng.

After Er Gou's parents left, the people who had been gathered outside seemed to remember that they needed to get to work in the fields, and quickly dispersed in all directions.

Before long, only Zhao Cheng and two medical workers remained at the clinic.

At this moment, Zhao Cheng was still calling out Zhao Ergou's name in his heart, feeling extremely anxious.

That Zhao Ergou drank his blood and ate his flesh!

He was still in pain in his ears and arms. His hand was probably ruined; a large chunk of flesh was missing, and it was uncertain whether it would grow back.

His calls went unanswered; Lin Jingyi had already left with the rest of the group, and she still had work to do.

With his injuries so severe, it seems unlikely that he can earn a living by slaughtering pigs for the team now.

Looking at his arm, which was wrapped up tightly, Zhao Cheng had a gloomy expression.

At that moment, the village chief called out to Zhao Cheng a few times, but received no response. He then gave the two sanitation workers some instructions and left.

Two sanitation workers: Why are the patients who have come in these past two days acting strangely and creepily?

"Zhao Ergou, come out here! Come out if you dare!"

Zhao Cheng shouted for a long time but didn't hear a response from Zhao Ergou, so he screamed frantically in his heart.

No matter how much he shouted, he received no response.

"No, is he sick?"

A long-haired female medic asked another medic who was holding a bandage in her hand.

The two planned to change the bandages on Zhao Cheng's face, which had been bleeding from the slap he received from Er Gou's mother.

Just as the two men were about to approach, Zhao Cheng suddenly shouted, startling the two medics so much that they dropped what they were holding.

One of the medics, dissatisfied, questioned another medic.

"Who knows!" The two medics exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and left the ward.

"That Liu Jia from the day before yesterday, it seems she also saw... Zhao Ergou." The long-haired medic suddenly stopped stepping out of the room and said in a low voice to the medic next to him.

Both of them saw fear in each other's eyes, but fortunately, Zhao Ergou wouldn't attack indiscriminately.

Meanwhile, Lin Jingyi was wielding a hoe.

"Xia Lin, why didn't you wait for us?" Liu Jia asked, looking at Lin Jingyi who was digging alone and not talking to anyone else. She approached Lin Jingyi and asked in a puzzled tone.

"It was still dark when I got up. How could you possibly get up?" Lin Jingyi asked without even looking up.

"Well... you left without even saying goodbye. We even went to your room to call you." Actually, Liu Jia just couldn't stand Lin Jingyi's fearless attitude, as if she were some kind of big shot.

Lin Jingyi looked up and chuckled upon hearing this: "Did you really go?"

The look in his eyes as he looked at Liu Jia was ambiguous. This woman was not so kind; she always put her own interests first and didn't care about the interests of the group.

Would you care about a woman like that? What kind of joke is that, told in broad daylight!

"No, no... Xie An went, yes, I sent him." Liu Jia felt a little uneasy under Lin Jingyi's gaze; Xia Lin seemed possessed.

She started out as an easily manipulated little rabbit, but now she's turned into a stubborn and unyielding monster.

"Oh," Lin Jingyi replied coldly, then recalled the scene he had seen in the bathroom that morning, and the time Liu Jia spent with Zhao Cheng in her previous life, and sneered inwardly.

But he smiled and said:

"When I went out this morning, I saw everyone rushing to the clinic, so I followed them. Guess what I saw?"

Whenever Liu Jia thinks of the clinic, an image comes to mind of a little boy standing in a corner, soaking wet, pale-faced, with his head down.

Her body trembled involuntarily. Hearing Lin Jingyi say he had seen something, Liu Jia became curious and couldn't help but ask:

"What did you see?" Liu Jia had completely forgotten about being treated coldly by Lin Jingyi and wanting to scold him. She wondered if Xia Lin had also seen that brat...

"I saw a person covered in blood, his face wrapped in bandages. He was said to be possessed by a little demon, and some flesh from his arms had been eaten. The little demon was said to have drowned, and..."

"Ah...don't say anymore." Lin Jingyi said while observing Liu Jia's expression. When he saw her suddenly say this, Lin Jingyi fell silent.

As Liu Jia listened to Lin Jingyi's description, she unconsciously filled in a scene in her mind.

She sat on the bed, and a little boy in the corner raised his pale face, which was much larger than that of an ordinary child, and said to her with a sinister look, "I'm hungry."

He couldn't help but interrupt Lin Jingyi's narration.

"That man in the hospital bed heard sounds we couldn't hear, and he even talked to that person." Lin Jingyi stopped what he was doing and continued to ask:

"It seems that Comrade Liu Jia also mentioned seeing that little boy at the hospital... Do you think... he might be looking for you?"

Lin Jingyi deliberately spoke in a sinister tone, and then suddenly moved closer to Liu Jia.

"Ah!" Liu Jia was so startled that she dropped the hoe she was holding.

"Liu Jia, what are you doing? Hurry up and get to work!" Tang Feng had also heard her husband talk about it, and she was eavesdropping when she was suddenly startled by Liu Jia's startled voice.

Seeing that she had thrown away the hoe, Tang Feng had a reason to vent her anger.
