Chapter 650 Zhang Laoqi’s New Trap
Xiao Tao saw Xiao Hua looking at her, stood up, took out one thousand yuan, and handed it to her: “This is taken from your point total.”
Xiao Hua was well aware that she had no points left, only negative points, really.
But she still accepted the one thousand yuan, because she truly needed money now: “Thank you, elder sister.”
Holding the money, she turned around and handed it to Mr. Xiao: “For handling the affairs.”
Mr. Xiao was also very heartbroken, but he could not vent his feelings through wailing like Mrs. Xiao. Suppressing his sorrow, he patted Xiao Hua on the shoulder: “Hua, don’t bla your mother, her heart is suffering.”
Xiao Hua nodded with tearful eyes: “I know, I won’t bla her.”
Could she really bla her, after all these years?
No matter what, her parents had given her life, and under extrely difficult family circumstances, they still let her go to school. To her, this was an enormous kindness, a privilege that other girls in the mountains could never fight for.
On one side, the Xiao Family began to prepare for the funeral, while on the other side, ngyu stared dumbfounded at what Zhang Laoqi was doing. If they weren’t enemies, she would have even applauded him.
He had tampered with the wooden bridge on the path that they all must take on their return, which consisted of two logs, one larger and one smaller.
The first half of that bridge was safe, but the latter half was the problem.
He had loosened the larger log on the bridge such that it would hold at first, but if soone walked to the middle, the mud clumps he had temporarily used to fix the logs would be compressed by the weight.
At that mont, if soone stepped on the larger log, it would start to roll. Moreover, Lao Qi had greased the latter half of the larger log. No matter how good one’s balance was, stepping on the larger log ant they would roll off it and fall into the water.
Of course, if you knew the chanism of the log beforehand and walked on the bridge by stepping only on the smaller log, there would be no issue. But who, after seeing two differently-sized logs forming a bridge, wouldn’t place most of their weight on the larger log?
They had crossed that bridge when they ca and weren’t worried that it wouldn’t bear the weight of a dozen or so people. Therefore, they would definitely not cross it one by one, but as a group.
Then, as soon as the larger log rolled, they would all certainly fall into the river.
And don’t assu falling into the river ans safety, for Zhang Laoqi had also spread a large fishing net in the river, ready to catch all who fell in one sweep.
ngyu dared to say that if she hadn’t followed them, even with her Divine Sense, she wouldn’t have anticipated that such a simple wooden bridge could be a trap.
ngyu sighed inwardly, Zhang Laoqi was truly clever. No wonder in her previous life he had eventually beco a major leader, only to be caught by the law due to his brothers’ betrayal.
Unfortunately, in this life, he had set his sights on her, and so, his path was destined to end here.
After finishing the trap, Zhang Laoqi had not seen anyone approach, and he let out a sigh of relief, washing his hands by the river.
However, he suddenly saw Jiang ngyu’s reflection in the water.
He thought he was hallucinating; how could she be here? Shouldn’t she be with her sisters, protected by the people of Red Stone Village?
He blinked, and the reflection in the water remained. That reflection was clearly standing on the bridge, watching him wash his hands.
The next mont, his hand in the water grabbed two stones and shot them toward the location of the reflection.
