ho has been hurt the most.Zhou Mengyu asked directly, while Zhao Fenglin on the side remained silent."What else could it be for To gain sympathy, to make you feel guilty, to sabotage the engagement wi...Zhao Shuanzi's face turned pale with pain as beads of cold sweat streamed down his forehead. He desperately tried to pull his hand back from the ripple's grip, but no matter how hard he struggled, the other party didn't budge. Instead, he felt even more pain in his arm.

"Wu Zhiqing, what do you want to do"

Zhao Shuanzi stammered, his voice trembling. It wasn't just the pain, but also the fear. At this moment, Wu Zhiqing had a strange, unnatural smile on her face.

"The Wu Zhiqing you wanted to frame drowned in the river long ago. I am now the master of this body. To settle the karmic debt, I will help the original owner fulfill her wish."

The ripples, her voice changed too, low and bloodthirsty. Especially with that little white tooth she showed, Zhao Zhuanzi was almost scared to pee his pants. His legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

"It wasn't me, it was Pan Nuannuan that bitch who came looking for me. She agreed to help me lure you over, once things were settled between us, she would call people to catch you cheating. All I had to do was give her the food for this winter."

Without even needing to hear the rest of what he had to say, Ripples didn't want to draw any more attention. His kneeling down gave her an opportunity; with a quick hand strike, she knocked him unconscious.

At this moment, Lian Yi also discovered that Zhao Zhuanzhi's other hand was holding a small knife. It seemed he had taken it from his trouser leg binding during the fall and when he knelt down, indicating that he wasn't ready to surrender.

The ripples loosened Zhao Zhuanzi's broken wrist, and she jumped down into the deep ditch, roughly throwing the unconscious Pan Nuannuan onto Zhao Zhuanzi.

Then she easily climbed the deep ravine, carrying Zhao Zhuanzi, this burly man, on her shoulder, and with the other hand, directly grabbed Pan Nuannuan, quickly running into the deep mountains.

After she left, Zhao Jingcheng climbed down from a pine tree and stood there for a long time, digesting what he had seen. He seemed both disbelieving and a little excited. After hesitating for a moment, he chased after Lian Yi's direction and entered the mountains as well.

The ripples spread quickly, reaching the edge of the forest. They came across a den of two otters—a male and a female—who were eating and storing fat for hibernation. Sensing the unfamiliar presence, they immediately roared as a warning, trying to scare the intruder away.

R ripples threw Zhao Zhuanzi out first, because she was strong and directly used Zhao Zhuanzi to smash the smaller female black bear back.

The male black bear roared, feeling provoked. It extended its sharp claws and swatted away the object that had hit its mate. With a "crack," Zhao Zhuanzi was scratched by the sharp claws and slammed against the rock wall. At this moment, a mouthful of blood gushed out, splattering his face, and he groaned in pain.

The battered female black bear also got to her feet, shook her dazed head, and turned directly toward Zhao Zhuanzi who was bleeding and groaning in pain.

The male black bear locked its target on Lian Ri, and Pan Nuan Nuan who was held in her hand slowly woke up. Just as she was going to touch the bloody back of her head, she heard an angry roar. Turning her face, she discovered the black bear charging towards them.

"Ah!"

Pan Nuannuan's shriek really shot straight up to the heavens, Lian Ri frowned and rubbed her ears in displeasure, then raised her hand and threw Pan Nuannuan out again.

The black bear and Pan Nuannuan met halfway. The black bear, enraged, swiped with its claws, tearing open Pan Nuannuan's stomach. A scream echoed through the forest as blood splattered everywhere. Stimulated by the blood, the black bear became even more excited.

Liàn Yī saw that the bear was already holding Zhao Shuǎnzi and starting to gnaw on it, and there was a furious big black bear. She waved her hand and sprinkled some powder, then turned and ran away.

The black bear's nose was covered with red chili powder, and he sneezed twice immediately. He chased after the instigator for a while but lost his trail. After wandering around for a bit, he heard his wife calling him home.

Zhao Jingcheng, who had stayed far enough away to observe the whole thing, was sweating profusely in his palms at this moment. He realized he had seen something he shouldn't have.

"Can you see clearly"

A soft, eerie female voice came from behind him. He gritted his teeth in fright and suddenly turned around, only to see a slyly smiling Wu Lianyi.

"Wu Wu, I didn't see anything!"

Zhao Jingcheng had never felt so close to death, not even when he was telling tall tales. He didn't want to end up as bear food.

"You saw it, and you saw it clearly. Why are you deceiving yourself"

Ripple tilted her head and asked.

"I... I don't want to die, you can make me do anything!"

Zhao Jingcheng forced himself to stay calm and then began to bargain, long gone was the disdain he had for Lian Yi two days ago.

"It was a bit troublesome before, but now that you've seen it, just consider yourself my alibi!"

Ripple smiled sweetly, then picked up Zhao Jingcheng and walked out. Before returning, she picked up some firewood.

Because she was fast enough, everything there remained as it was. The hatchet was still in the ditch, and half the firewood was still gathered beside it.

The ripples gently put Zhao Jingcheng down and then patted his face lightly, saying softly:

“I was pushed by Pan Nuannuan into the deep ditch. You saw it and shouted, scaring away the female educated youth. You discovered that I had fallen into the ditch and was unconscious. Because the ditch was too deep, you couldn't save me alone, so you went to the educated youth point to call for help, and also called some villagers to notify the captain. Did you understand”

"Got it!"

"Rest assured, when I wake up, knowing you are my savior, I will definitely repay you."

Ripple smiled and said.

"No need."

Looking at the other person's smiling face, Zhao Jingcheng felt a chill run down his spine.

"Good, go now! Don't waste time."

"Good!"

Zhao Jingcheng clenched his fist, leaving this remote place with heavy steps.

The ripples jumped back into the deep ditch, rolling in the soil for a few times, then she smeared Pan Nuannuan's flowing blood on her own back of head. She lay flat at the bottom of the ditch, her head resting on that protruding stone, creating the illusion of hitting her head when she fell. After smearing her face black, she closed her eyes.

After a quarter of an hour, the surroundings became noisy. Lianyi heard the shouts of the educated youths, especially Wang Xiufen and Zheng Xin's clamoring. Then people from the village also came. In the end, Zhao Jingcheng tied a rope and went down into the deep ditch, carrying Lianyi back up.

After he went up, everyone watching saw the bloodstains at the back of his head. It goes without saying that he hit the back of his head.

" Qian Zhiqing, I just saw that Wu Zhiqing's blood on the back of his head is gone, but he's not awake. He's probably knocked unconscious and needs to see a doctor."

"First, send Wu classmate back to the educated youth point. I've already had someone call Old Sun."

Wang Xiufen and Zheng Xin looked at each other, the former immediately opening her mouth to ask:

“Has anyone here seen Pan Zhiqing She came to collect firewood with Wu Zhiqing this morning.”

"That's right! Where's Pan Zhiqing I saw them going up the mountain together, laughing and talking. The two of them were together when they were collecting firewood."

Immediately, a young woman spoke up.

I heard Pan Zhiqing asked Wu Zhiqing to come here because there was firewood ready. Since they were here, none of us came to collect firewood.or a few days""What do you mean by that, husband""Meng Lianyi had always been sickly, this was well-known in our Shouyue City, it wasn't a secret.
