1983Fishing and Farming between Mountains and Seas

Chapter 164: The Change of Stormy Waves (Unveiling the Shocking Chapter of Foreshadowing)
"Let's go fishing together and cast our nets together. When we have enough money to buy a big boat, we can drive it to the deep sea and catch big fish! Damn, what does the real deep sea look like? I have never been there. I only know that there are more than a hundred times more fish there than in other places. A fish is bigger than a wooden boat, and it is big and valuable..."

Li Liang's tongue is a little big, but it doesn't stop him from imagining the distant future.

"Drink it, drink it. For the fish that is bigger than the boat, let's have another drink!" Deng Zhaocai poured another cup.

Li Liang apologized to Lin Baixian while drinking:
“我是真浑，当初为啥会揍你呢，就因为看到你老喜欢接近袁小美，给她献殷勤。揍你有啥用？现在一转头，她爸妈把她许给了矶头村一个男的。跟伱说，听说那男的表面正经，其实是坏坯一个。嫁他，还不如委屈一下嫁你林百贤呐，早知道不拦着你接近她了……”

Lin Baixian immediately resonated with this:

"Who said it wasn't true? I've asked around. The man in Jitou Village is very sinister. Xiaomei's parents are also blinded by greed. If she really wants to marry a bad guy, she should marry you..."

Liang Ziqiang was confused when he heard the two drunken words. Are you sure you two are really reconciling? Why do you sound like you are scolding each other?

In fact, the grudges of the past were very simple:
Li Liang likes Yuan Xiaomei, and so does Lin Baixian. Li Liang beats Lin Baixian every now and then.

李亮半路拦住低年级的梁子丰，逼子丰帮他写情书。梁自强替弟弟出头，把李亮揍了；
Lin Baixian seemed to see the light of justice, and he often asked Liang Ziqiang to help beat Li Liang;
Li Liang couldn't beat him, so he asked Deng Zhaocai to help him deal with Liang Ziqiang.

There are so many complicated threads, but there is actually one common thread: Yuan Xiaomei.

Now, that thread has a partner, and it’s not either Li Liang or Lin Baixian.

What the hell do these two men still hold a grudge against each other?
"Stop talking. Go to hell with Yuan Xiaomei. Let's not mention her anymore. Whoever mentions her is a jerk!" Li Liang picked up the cup again.

"Don't mention it anymore. Whoever mentions her again is a slut!" Lin Baixian also said harshly.

"That's it! Let's go out to sea together and catch fish. It's important for you two to save more money and marry a good wife!" Liang Ziqiang took the opportunity to persuade them.

In fact, Yuan Xiaomei also has a truly unfortunate fate. Yuan Xiaomei has dark skin but good facial features. She is not as pretty as the girls in Huagu Village, but she is also pretty.

Unfortunately, when Liang Ziqiang thought about her life, he couldn't help but feel heavy. Combined with the information from the previous life, Yuan Xiaomei was not cherished later. Around 1984, that is, the next year, after Yuan Xiaomei was officially married under the arrangement of her parents, the husband in Jitou Village soon revealed his true colors. He was used to having affairs outside, and when he came back, he beat Yuan Xiaomei every day. Yuan Xiaomei hardly had a good day...

To be honest, Li Liang and Lin Baixian are much better than that bad guy.

But no one can change this kind of thing. After all, her parents are determined to fall in love with that cowardly man.

The only thing Liang Ziqiang could do was to persuade Li Liang and Lin Baixian to be more open-minded.

"Remember, you said those words yourself: you bastard, you bastard!" Deng Zhaocai stressed the point and reminded them.

"A man should keep his word and do what he says!" It seems that Li Liang and Lin Baixian have come to their senses this time, which is very gratifying.

Liang Ziqiang was relieved for about three minutes, and then a figure passed by the door. It was Zhong Ming.

Zhong Ming turned his head and saw them, and immediately ran over, looking a little excited:
"Li Liang, why are you willing to come to Lin Baixian's house today? I said I couldn't find you when I went to your house!"

"You're looking for me?" Li Liang was a little surprised.

"There's good news about Yuan Xiaomei. Do you want to hear it?" Zhong Ming kept it a secret.

Li Liang's face darkened immediately: "Go away, don't mention her in front of me, I don't want to be a turtle boy!"

Zhong Ming looked puzzled:
"I thought you really wanted to hear it. I had to run all over the village. As soon as I heard that Yuan Xiaomei's boyfriend had died, I wanted to run to tell you..."

Zhong Ming was actually feeling a little disappointed, shaking his head and preparing to leave.

The two people in the room jumped up from their stools as if they were hit on the head with a hammer.

"Who died? Who did you just say died?!" Li Liang ran up and grabbed Zhong Ming, almost making him fall down.

"Yuan Xiaomei's boyfriend from Jitou Village, is there something wrong with your ears now?" Zhong Ming repeated.

The person who was most shocked was not Li Liang or Lin Baixian, but Liang Ziqiang.

His heart was filled with turmoil at the moment, and he immediately came forward and pulled Zhong Ming into the house:
"What's going on? Sit down and tell me slowly!"

Zhong Ming confirmed again that the man named Lei Zhandou from Jitou Village, Yuan Xiaomei's fiancé, had died yesterday. The more accurate the news was, the deeper Liang Ziqiang's frown deepened.

He would not be wrong. In his previous life, Lei Zhandou lived for quite a long time. He heard that after torturing Yuan Xiaomei to death, Lei Zhandou continued to live for a long time...

In this life, Lei Zhandou died before he could even marry Yuan Xiaomei? How is this possible? What is wrong?

Liang Ziqiang can be sure that the world he is reborn into is the same world he was in 1983, and everything is running exactly according to the same trajectory as it was back then.

There are things that changed the trajectory, such as Liang Ziqiang himself not being imprisoned for two years, his father and brother not being killed at sea like they did back then, and Yang Xi and Yang Qing being imprisoned...

All of the above have one thing in common: they are the result of Liang Ziqiang's active intervention and deliberate changes.

But he didn't try to kill that Lei Zhandou. Not to mention killing him, he had never even seen Lei Zhandou.

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. He quickly asked Zhong Ming, "How did he die? Did you hear about it?"

"Bitten by a snake!" Zhong Ming replied affirmatively.

"Where did you bite it?"

"Xiangluo Island!"

"Xiang..." Liang Ziqiang felt something was wrong. "The wind hasn't completely stopped yet. Why is he going to Xiangluo Island?"

"You just have to take advantage of the wind! It seems like this. A few days ago, he and a few people from Jitou Village were at sea and met a boat passing by. The boat was loaded with a lot of blood clams, which should have been obtained from Xiangluo Island. He was tempted and went to Xiangluo Island every day for several days.

The wind had been blowing these past few nights, so the blood clams that were swept up by the wind and waves could be picked up during the day, and Lei Zhandou had caught quite a few. Until yesterday, he had been picking them up, and when he saw a hole with a lot of blood clams in it, he reached in and dug them out.

I thought there would be fewer snakes as the weather turned cooler, but sea snakes haven’t hibernated yet! As a result, one of them coiled up inside and bit him. He died before he even reached the shore!

So that’s it!
Obviously, Lei Zhandou encountered a boat loaded with blood clams on the sea, which was Liang Ziqiang's boat.

It was at Liang Ziqiang's suggestion that day that Li Liang followed him to Xiangluo Island and encountered a large number of blood clams.

Then, seeing this, several villagers from Jitou Village followed Liang Ziqiang's footsteps and ran to Xiangluo Island.

So, Lei Zhandou's death was really related to me. I didn't realize it, and I accidentally changed the trajectory of his life...

This was the first time that someone lost his life because of his rebirth, and Liang Ziqiang was quite shocked.

A few people were chatting with Zhong Ming when two women passed by. They seemed to have just heard the news and talked as they walked:

"People used to say that Yuan Xiaomei was a popular girl, but I didn't expect she was unlucky for men. She killed the man before she even got married!"

"Her parents must be worried sick now. Who would be willing to marry her in the future? Do they think she has a long life?"

Li Liang sneered at the backs of the two village women:

"What the hell, I'm the toughest person alive. Others don't dare to marry me, but I want one!"

Lin Baixian rubbed his hands:
"That's not right. Can you be as lucky as me? When I was six years old, I fell into a deep pool behind the village, but I didn't die..."

Upon hearing the news of someone else's death, the two of them looked joyful as if bad luck had turned into good times and that a dead tree had come back to life.

Deng Zhaocai was almost mad at them and yelled at them:
"You bastard! You bastard!"

No one paid any attention to him...

Two chapters have been published in the early morning. This chapter echoes the foreshadowing of Chapter 161, that is, the part where the villagers of Jitou Village saw Liang Ziqiang's blood clam boat on the sea. Happy reading, fellow readers!
