Chapter 1619 I Killed Someone

After all, Li Gui was not a member of the Zhao Family Village now. However, if Zhao Liu had succeeded just now and destroyed Li Gui's reputation, Li Gui would definitely have to marry Zhao Liu. In that case, Qiao Mei would have to give them whatever they wanted in the future.

Furthermore, they had already asked around. Qiao Mei's surname was Qiao, but those four children's surnames were Zhang. They were not really a family at all. Qiao Mei was definitely closer to her mother than those children. This was also the reason why they chose to kidnap Li Gui.

"Forget it, forget it, let's not think about it anymore! The next time Elder Brother comes over, the two of us should say that we're thirsty and go get some water and take a rest. Let him do whatever he wants," Wang Meng said as she lay down.

"Alright! Let's do what you say!" Zhao Ming said.

Wang Meng did not expect that after marrying into the Zhao family for so many years and bearing children for Zhao Ming, she would end up like this. Back then, she should have married the butcher from the neighboring village! At least she would always have meat to eat!

As Wang Meng was drifting off to sleep, Zhao Ming said, "The two of us should take turns to keep watch tonight. You sleep first. I'll wake you up when it's time for your turn."

Wang Meng nodded and fell asleep. As Zhao Ming listened to the chirping of the cicadas and Wang Meng's snores, his eyelids felt heavy. In the end, he could not take it anymore and closed his eyes.

Zhao Fei waited for a while. After Wang Meng and Zhao Ming fell asleep, he sneaked into the cellar. When Li Gui saw that the person who came was Zhao Fei, she thought that he was also involved in the kidnapping! Li Gui looked at Zhao Fei warily.

Zhao Fei came to Li Gui's side and explained softly, "Auntie, Sister Qiao Mei asked me to come and save you. I'll carry you out later. If anyone comes after us, run as fast as you can and don't look back, do you understand?"

Li Gui looked at Zhao Fei doubtfully. At this moment, she did not believe anyone. Back then, Zhao Fei had promised them many times that he would settle the matter at the Zhao Family Village, but he had gone back on his word in the end. She did not know if what Zhao Fei just said was true.

"I'm telling the truth! Auntie, you have to believe me!" Zhao Fei said firmly.

Li Gui did not have any other choice at the moment. She could only take a gamble. If she won, she would be able to return to Qiao Mei's side. If she lost, she reckoned that she would not die. At most, she would get a beating and be thrown into the cellar again.

She and Zhao Fei tiptoed out of the cellar quietly and ran towards the village entrance. They were very careful along the way and did not see any villagers.

Zhao Liu would not give up so easily. Even if he did not manage to sedate Li Gui just now, he still had other plans. He would just knock Li Gui out with a punch. As long as she was not dead, he could deal with her however he wanted!

At the corner of the village entrance, the three people looked at one another. Li Gui was so frightened that she almost cried out, thinking that she had seen a ghost!

Zhao Liu pointed at Zhao Fei and shouted, "Help! Someone has escaped!"

Zhao Fei randomly picked up a big rock from the ground and threw it at Zhao Liu's head. Zhao Liu immediately fell silent and fell limply to the ground.

Fortunately, they were at the entrance of the village and there were very few people around. In order to avoid the buyers, everyone had moved deeper into the village. The families who used to live at the entrance of the village had also moved inside.

Zhao Fei squatted down shakily and reached out to touch Zhao Liu's head. His entire hand felt very warm. He had beaten someone to death… His hand was covered in blood… He had killed someone!

"Auntie… I killed someone… I killed him… I'm a murderer…" Zhao Fei looked at his hands in fear and muttered.

Li Gui immediately said, "No! We're just defending ourselves. Don't be afraid! Let's leave immediately. As long as we're safe, we can discuss the issue together later!"

"No! I want to turn myself in… I killed someone… I can't go home and marry her… I…" Before Zhao Fei could finish speaking, Li Gui covered Zhao Fei's mouth and nose, making him lose his breath for a few seconds before letting go of him.

Zhao Fei took a deep breath and his chaotic thoughts gradually cleared up. He hurriedly left the Zhao Family Village with Li Gui. The Xia family was resourceful and would definitely be able to save him. He had killed Zhao Liu to protect Li Gui. The Xia family would definitely save him. They would not sit back and do nothing!

The two of them ran from the dead of the night until dawn, but they still had not reached the city center of the capital. Li Gui had not eaten or drunk for a long time and had to stay in the same place as the rats. She could feel her body starting to get hot.
