Quick Wear: Boss, she won again by doing nothing

Chapter 817: Not convinced? Kill him (37)

Ming Xi's wrinkled face instantly blossomed into a brilliant smile. She happily took the red envelope and gave Zheng Hu a kiss on his bearded face. "Grandpa Zheng is always the best to me..."

New Year's Eve passed quietly in their laughter and joy. They didn't know what the future would be like, but at least they were spending it together at the moment.

……

The lake in the countryside in winter is like an abandoned piece of glass, sleeping quietly under the lead-gray sky. The ice surface is not as smooth as a mirror, but is covered with wind-eroded lines and frozen bubbles. Withered and yellow weeds pierce through the cracks in the ice like sharp swords, making tiny crackling sounds in the wind, and occasionally there is a "crunching" sound coming from deep in the ice.

There were no footprints or fishing nets nearby, only a few crooked old trees casting their dead branches on the ice. The cold air was filled with the smell of soil and dead grass, and time seemed to have frozen here, leaving only the most primitive silence between heaven and earth.

This was a deserted place without even a trace of animals, but Tian Jie had a deep impression of it.

Zheng Hu looked around suspiciously, but he didn't see even the shadow of a grave. "Tian Jie, are you sure this is the place?"

Tian Jie looked around with a heavy heart. Although this place was still very desolate, he would never forget it even when he died.

Unexpectedly, he would have the chance to come back here. "Yes, a little further ahead is where my mother is buried."

At that time, in order to cover up his murder, his father beat, scolded and threatened him, forcing him to go with him to bury the body. If he took the child with him, people around him would not suspect anything. He just wanted to know where his mother was buried, so he obeyed obediently.

Just walk along the lake until you reach the end of the lake.

"Uncle Zheng, Sister Xiaoqi, please find a place to wait for me! I will come and meet you after I have paid my respects to my mother."

Today was the first day of the Chinese New Year, and he was already satisfied that she was willing to take a two-hour drive to accompany him here. She didn't need to go to the ancestral worship, and he didn't want her to do something that should have been done during the ancestral worship festival during the New Year just because of him.

Zheng Hu naturally had no objection. He lowered his head and looked at Xing Rong. Xing Rong was silent for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Okay, let's get ready first and play together when you come back."

Xing Rong stared at his back until the figure gradually turned into a black dot, then she let Zheng Hu push her around to find the best position.

Xiao Hei: Little Star, the place I told you before is on the other side of the lake. But, it seems that there is someone over there today... Let me take a look.

anyone?

How could there be someone lurking in this remote place?

Xing Rong had a wool blanket covering his legs. He folded his hands and placed them inside the blanket to keep warm. He tapped his fingers lightly while waiting for news from Xiao Wei. He said to Zheng Hu behind him, "Uncle Zheng, can we cross the lake?"

Although Zheng Hu was puzzled, he still signaled the two people following him to check whether it was safe to cross the frozen lake. After confirming that it was safe, Zheng Hu slowly pushed Xing Rong across the lake.

The footsteps of the three men and Xing Rong's wheelchair moved on the ice, making creaking sounds. The ice surface shone with a cold light like gray glass, and the shadows of the three men were stretched into thin cracks. Zheng Hu stared at the spider-web-like ice pattern in front of him, and the frost on his gloves and metal armrests was falling off. Every half inch the wheelchair moved forward seemed to crush thousands of star rays.

Xiaowei: Little Star, there are really people over there, and they are a bunch of cat abusers! It seems that there is another group of people coming from another direction!

Another group of people?
