Chapter 137 Back
Yi Chi was carrying a lot of things on his back, carefully observing the situation around him, and walked towards the wooden house.
Most of the villagers were in the fields at this time, so no one would notice him. He just had to avoid being seen by the people in the pigpen.
Someone entered the wooden house while he was away, and all the small traps he had set up outside were destroyed. Yi Chi knew early on that the villagers would definitely not completely let down their guard against him. Even if it was not someone else, Shan Liang Shugen would not miss this opportunity.
Fortunately, he put away all his things when he went out. There was only a tattered quilt in the wooden house. The cotton was clumped into hard lumps and the cloth was brittle and could be torn apart without much effort.
There was a broken clay pot on the stove, and the only furniture was a wooden table, a bench, and a wooden basin.
The pile of firewood under the eaves had also been turned over. It was originally neatly stacked, but now it was in a mess, and some firewood was missing.
The cellar was not discovered, and the turf was not disturbed.
Yi Chi put the things in the cellar, then left carrying a small tattered bag.
He took a long detour and walked here from the Tuanjie Brigade, walking hurriedly and looking very embarrassed.
Soon, the villagers who were working in the fields discovered him.
"Tsk tsk tsk, after coming back from a trip, the weight that you just gained in the winter has disappeared again." The lazy auntie recognized who the person was at a glance. After all, Yi Chi came back at about the same time every year.
When the others heard her words, they also stopped what they were doing and looked over.
"That's right! This guy is so thin that he's just skin and bones..." someone soon echoed.
"I really can't understand why Yi brat. He can't even live a good life, but he still goes to help his foreign grandfather every year. He is not in his right mind."
"That's his last relative, so we'll help if we can." Some people look down on Yi Chi for being stubborn, but naturally there are also people who think he is filial.
What's more, older people mostly like filial younger generations. Even though Yi Chi's status is not good, they recognize his filial piety.
Jiang Yu had sharp ears, so she would not miss anything the villagers were talking about. When she heard that Yi Chi had returned, she immediately quickened her pace. When she reached the end of the field, she stood on the ridge and looked towards the direction of the village entrance.
A man who was so thin that he seemed like he could be blown away by the wind was walking up the mountain.
Jiang Yu was a little surprised. How could a person who had grown fat over a winter become like this after being away for a few months? This was almost the same as the refugees who had no food to eat in the end times.
But thinking back to Yi Chi's cruelty to him before, and the stickman image caused by the edema, Jiang Yu felt that it was normal for him to be like this, after all, he was a werewolf! But that didn't mean that this behavior was right.
She didn't understand why Yi Chi treated her like this. Is there anything in the world more important than one's own body?
"Shh——" Someone made a strange sound.
"Just look at his pitiful appearance. Everyone has been deceived by him! Like a fool! What good people can there be in the Yi family..." Liang Shugen walked out of the field without knowing when, staring at Yi Chi's back with unfriendly eyes, "It's all a trick! Just to confuse you!"
"Liang Shugen, that's enough. Don't think we don't know your little thoughts. You and your father have been keeping an eye on Yi Chi for several years. How could you not know whether he has money or not?" The aunt who spoke was married from another village. More than ten years had passed, but she still couldn't understand why Liang Shugen had hated the Yi family for so many years.
"Bah! That's because he is such a cunning boy! He is worthy of being taught by the old man from the Yi family. He is just as smart, but I don't believe he can endure it in his life!" Liang Shugen said with gritted teeth. If you don't know, you might think that the deceased person from the Yi family had done something unforgivable to their family.
"What if he really has no money?"
The main reason why Liang Shugen had been staring at Yi Chi for so long was that his family was poor, so poor that they couldn't even afford to marry a wife. But what if the other person had no money? Wouldn't his dream of getting rich by relying on Yi Chi be shattered?
"Impossible!" Liang Shugen roared viciously, not knowing whether saying this would strengthen his belief.
Jiang Yu looked at the ugly man with a mouth full of yellow teeth and curled the corners of his mouth in sarcasm.
Who are you to covet Yi Chi's money? If you dare to take it, I will take away all the pots in your house!
Liang Shugen didn't know that Jiang Yu had already set his sights on their family. All he could think about was the fact that Yi Chi was rich, which was a gambler's mentality.
Jiang Yu looked at the mountain again, but Yi Chi was no longer visible.
She planned to go up there at night. After all, she hadn't seen anyone for two months, so she wanted to go and check on the situation.
Yi Chi stood behind the tree, looking at the thin figure carefully. Although he didn't know what she had done just now and whether she saw him, but when he saw her walk down the ridge and into the field to work, he felt the warmth in his heart instantly permeating his whole body. As long as he saw that person, he felt happy.
Jiang Yu, she must have come to see me just now.
Yi Chi didn't know why, but he was confident that Jiang Yu would not walk to the ridge of the field for no reason. It must be because of him.
With a good mood, Yi Chi returned to the wooden cabin.
He took a wooden basin to fetch water and prepared to clean the house inside and out.
After work, Jiang Yu and Xue Li went back together.
Chen Jinghan and the others soon caught up, and Fu Biao excitedly said to Jiang Yu, "I heard Yi Chi is back?"
"Yes." Jiang Yu nodded, "He is so thin that he looks unrecognizable."
"Ah?" The others exclaimed in surprise.
Mingming said that when work started in the spring, Yi Chi seemed to have recovered well. His skin was fair and he had gained some weight. However, because he was tall, he still looked thin. However, it was not excessive and was reasonable.
"I also saw her from a distance. She was very thin. When the wind blew, her clothes fluttered like a flag." Jiang Yu said with disdain.
Xue Li glanced at Jiang Yu, and his eyes seemed to say that you are almost the same.
Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and looked at her.
Xue Li chuckled and said, "The farm is really terrible."
It's outrageous that a person goes out alone and comes back as thin as a lightning bolt.
"That's true. The workload on the farm is very heavy." After all, the nature of those places means that people who go in will not have an easy life.
Of course, if they were educated youth who went to engage in construction, it would be different. They were definitely different from the people who were sent down, and Yi Chi’s grandfather belonged to the more difficult category.
Fu Biao was more familiar with the situation in this regard because his teacher was also demoted and he had found a way to sneak in to visit him.
"But I still find it strange that Yi Chi was able to go in and help, because most farms are strictly managed and outsiders are not allowed to enter. And he not only got in, but was able to stay for such a long time to help his grandfather. Is it because he is a foreigner?" Fu Biao didn't understand and could only make a random guess.
When Jiang Yu heard this, he felt that Yi Chi must be lying!
This person is really cruel to himself! He made himself look like a sickly ghost. If he is so skinny, if it is not because of working too hard, then it must be because of starvation? !
