Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 321: Eighteen Bends on the Mountain Road (26)

Xing Qingbo's figure gently passed over the threshold, as if he didn't want to disturb the quiet night. Every step he took was on the silver light secretly cast by the moon, leaving a faint, almost invisible shadow.

The night wind was a little cool, gently brushing the tips of his hair, and seemed to be whispering, telling the secrets of the night.

As soon as Xing Qingbo walked out, He Shanshan followed him out. The couple walked slowly on the path, one in front and one behind, under the cover of darkness.

He Shanshan followed closely behind, and although her steps were light, she could not hide the anxiety and uneasiness in her heart.

Her eyes kept sweeping over Xing Qingbo in front of her, and then quickly scanned the surroundings, fearing that she would miss any important clues or dangers.

The moonlight shone through the sparse clouds, dappled on her face, blurring her features.

He Shanshan's eyesight is actually not very good, she has some mild myopia. She was actually wearing glasses when she first came, but later Xing Qingbo stepped on them and broke them when he lost his temper.

In this valley, it was difficult for Xing Qingbo to provide her with a full meal, let alone help her get a pair of glasses.

Anyway, for country people, it doesn’t matter whether they are nearsighted or not, as long as they can still see and are not blind.

Xing Qingbo married her only because he was attracted by her young body and her ability to carry on the family line.

Teasing He Shanshan and watching her squint because she can't see clearly is also one of Xing Qingbo's bad tastes.

Over the years, without glasses, He Shanshan's myopia became more and more serious.

In addition, it was night time, so she couldn't see clearly. Fortunately, she was familiar with the road and didn't fall behind.

But, she felt that Xing Qingbo seemed to be holding something in his hand?
It seems like... a bag of food?

The red plastic bag still had a considerable presence under the reflection of the moonlight. It was a bag from the convenience store, and He Shanshan had an impression of it.

In the village, people only come here occasionally to buy some emergency things. They come in a hurry and leave in a hurry. Many people don’t need plastic bags.

Even if they asked for it, Xing Qingbo was not willing to give it to them. He just bought a bag of salt and a bottle of vinegar. What else was there to give them?

Only when he bought too much and could not carry it all away would Xing Qingbo pull out a plastic bag, shake it a few times and expand it.

It can be said that if you buy a set of plastic bags, you may not be able to use them up even if you use them for two consecutive years.

Given the situation, why would Xing Qingbo go out with such a plastic thing?
And judging from the volume, there are quite a lot of things in here.

He Shanshan suddenly realized that when she took a quick glance before leaving the store, it seemed that a lot of things were missing from the cabinets...

After realizing this, He Shanshan gritted her teeth in hatred, spat on the ground, and cursed under her breath.

"Xing Qingbo, you are such a good person. I have been working like a cow and a horse in your house and raising children for so many years. Now I have to look at your mood when I want to have an extra bite of food."

"Now, you are so heartless to go out with so many things without saying anything."

"I want to see who it is!"

……

It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening and almost everyone had gone to bed. Only one or two families still had orange lights on in their homes.

It's just that the land is vast and the population is sparse, and the distance between them is very far, and the stars hanging in the sky are not much different. On both sides of the path are sleeping fields, and the flowers and plants sway gently, making a tiny rustling sound, which is a unique nocturne of nature.

Occasionally, the cries of night birds could be heard in the distance, clear and long, breaking the silence of the night, but were quickly swallowed up by the darkness, leaving only a trace of echo that drifted away in the air.

Xing Qingbo's mind was now filled with the excitement of being about to succeed, and he didn't even notice that there was someone secretly following him.

In his opinion, He Shanshan didn't have the brains or the courage to follow him out.

He Shanshan couldn't say why, she just felt that something big might happen tonight, and a voice in the dark urged her to follow.

Although Xing Qingbo had beaten and scolded her many times in the past, the frequency was never as high as it has been recently. These past few days, if she wasn't careful, she would get beaten up.

Combined with Xing Qingbo's strange little actions at night, He Shanshan had vaguely guessed that he had another woman outside.

But this village is so small, and the wives of every household are watched very closely. Some of them don't even have the freedom to go out. He Shanshan really couldn't imagine who would have a tryst with Xing Qingbo so late at night.

Recalling Xing Qingbo's earlier threat to her, saying that he would sell her when he found a more satisfactory woman, He Shanshan fell into great panic.

She had suffered a lot after being sold to this hellhole. She finally gave up and lived an honest life.

Now she is facing the risk of being sold off, which she naturally cannot accept. Who knows if she will still be able to survive if she is sold off again.

Whenever she thought of the suffering she had endured, the scenes of humiliation flashed through her mind like slides, so vividly that she could still remember them.

He Shanshan bit her lower lip which was chapped due to dryness, and moved forward quietly while keeping a distance.

No matter what, she shouldn't be kept in the dark.

Suddenly she discovered that Xing Qingbo, who was walking in front, gradually slowed down his pace. Looking at the direction, it seemed to be... his own vegetable garden?

No one is more familiar with this place than He Shanshan. For many days and nights, she has worked on this land from dawn to dusk.

After arriving at the destination, Xing Qingbo stood there looking around, adjusting his cuffs and hairstyle from time to time.

He Shanshan was afraid of being discovered, so she squatted down nearby, taking advantage of the cover of night and lush vegetation, holding her breath, and waited quietly.

While Xing Qingbo was waiting anxiously, Jiang Qiuchen was hiding in the dark and observing him. He waited until Xing Qingbo showed impatience and was about to lose his temper, then he splashed some water on his cheeks, pretended to rush over, and appeared in front of Xing Qingbo.

When they saw Jiang Qiuchen for the first time, Xing Qingbo and He Shanshan took a breath at the same time.

It’s just that one is a surprise and the other is a shock.

He Shanshan never imagined that the person Xing Qingbo came out to meet late at night would be Erya, whom she had just met.

In He Shanshan's opinion, Erya is young, pretty, and has a slightly better life than the others.

Although everyone was sold to this hellhole, Dong Dajun was at least still a young and strong guy, unlike Xing Qingbo, an old and smelly man.

Besides, Dong Dajun is a fool. As long as you smooth over his tricks, he will be easier to fool than other men.

If she had to choose one, He Shanshan would rather follow Dong Dajun than Xing Qingbo.
