Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 418 Panic

Old man Wang paused, pursed his lips, and walked forward with a normal expression, as if what Yi Chi said was meaningless to him.

Seeing this, Yi Chi continued to follow him with a smile. After a while, he said, "Uncle Wang, I almost forgot this name. Do you still remember it? The first time I called you that, you sent me a plate of fruit. That was the first time I saw this kind of wild fruit. It was sour and sweet and delicious. Grandpa asked me to thank you."

You sent me a plate of raspberries, and my grandfather gave you a three-part-fat-two-part-lean pork belly. I heard that you were carrying the meat around the village. After that, every two days, villagers would happily take away food of completely unequal value from my house in the name of sending me something, using various wild mountain fruits or straw trinkets. It might be meat, chicken, or at least fine grains.

Grandpa said that you liked me, so you sent the food to me so that I could try something new. I was young and ignorant at the time, so I believed it. Now I think that grandpa was just teasing me, and you were just taking advantage of me under the guise of something else.

How disgusting, using a several-year-old child as a raft.

Old man Wang remained silent and walked forward in silence.

"Uncle Wang, I wonder if I can get a sincere thank you from your second brother's grandchildren if I send a tray to them now?" Yi Chi asked sincerely.

He was asking about the Wang family at the educated youth site where only women and children were left after the death. He also had a younger brother who died when the wolves came down the mountain last time. The Wang family, which was once a prosperous family, now has only a few people left.

So old man Wang paid special attention to the remaining descendants. But it was funny to say that even though there were few descendants, he still didn't take girls seriously. He had a promising aunt like Wang Hongqi as a role model, but he only took his second brother's two grandsons to his home and raised them together with his own grandsons, and didn't care about the other three girls at all. He didn't even have a good face for Wang Hongqi's only daughter. He was really strange.

Hearing Yi Chi mention the two children, Old Man Wang finally turned his head and looked over. His eyes were calm, "They are all good kids. Naturally they should thank you for getting your things." He seemed to be answering Yi Chi's question seriously.

Yi Chi nodded, "Is that so? Then your old lady will definitely give me a gift in return, right?"

"My family is grateful and we naturally won't take your things for free." Old man Wang said sincerely, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Yi Chi was particularly focused.

"Is that so? Then Uncle Wang, you took my grandfather's peace of mind card. Did you thank him?" Yi Chi also asked with the same serious attitude.

Old man Wang pursed his lips, and after a long while he smiled self-deprecatingly, "Of course I have to thank you."

"When? When you took it away?" Yi Chi asked curiously.

Old man Wang chuckled and said, "Wait until I go see your grandfather."

"Then I hope this moment can come sooner, Uncle Wang. You have been taking things without asking for too long. By then, just saying thank you may not be enough. Or, take your children with you to appear more sincere." After thinking for a moment, Yi Chi suggested very seriously.

Old man Wang's face finally changed. He stopped and stared at Yi Chi fiercely. "Boy from the Yi family, everyone has to take responsibility for their own actions. If I did something wrong, I would naturally ask Mr. Yi for forgiveness. My children have nothing to do with this matter, so don't blame them."

"How can there be no connection? Isn't it because of the favor of my Yi family that your children can grow up well? Even you, who were able to survive those disasters, were thanks to my grandfather. Since it is our family that gave your whole family a way to survive, it should not be too much for me to take it back now." Yi Chi lowered his voice. Not because he was afraid of being heard by Wang Yu and the others, but because he didn't want other villagers to hear it. After all, he had other enemies among them.

"Yi Chi! Don't go too far. What kind of society is this now? Do you think you can do whatever you want?" Old man Wang gritted his teeth, looking furious, but in fact he knew very well that Yi Chi said this more to scare him. He dared to kill someone? Old man Wang didn't believe it.

But he was slapped in the face incredibly quickly.

Yi Chi burst out laughing, "Of course I can't." But there are many things in this world that can be done. He looked at the mountain beside him meaningfully and gave him a meaningful look.

Old Man Wang froze for a moment. He understood what Yi Chi meant. He wanted to send the children into the mountains, just like the villagers did with the educated youth.

Yi Chi blinked at him contentedly, then took two steps back, returned to his position, and walked slowly with the team.

Old man Wang walked forward, being led by the rope in his hand. He felt a little uneasy, but he didn't believe that Yi Chi would really do that.

The reason why he didn't believe it was because he had been watching from the sidelines for so many years and was very sure that Yi Chi was not a cruel person. He was not even full of resentment like other children who had the same experience.

Yi Chi silently endured the way Liang Shugen's family treated him and never showed any aggression, so he felt that Yi Chi would not be able to do something like killing someone.

But old man Wang thought about the things he did when he was young. If Yi Chi remembered everything from his childhood, would he still be as incompetent as before after learning all the truth? With the deep hatred between them, how could Yi Chi let any of them go?

He didn't do anything to Liang Shugen's family at the beginning because he didn't know what the old man of the Liang family had done with them. If he knew, then the Liang family would definitely be in the same confusion as him.

As he thought about it, Old Man Wang began to get scared, because he knew how powerful hatred was. His niece was the best example.

Yi Chi was full of hostility towards him, why? Was it because he knew the truth? Old Man Wang was not sure, but he was sure of one thing, Yi Chi had never forgotten that they had forced the old man of the Yi family to death, so was he finally going to take revenge now?

“Yi Chi!” Old man Wang panicked. He turned around and shouted to Yi Chi, “Yi Chi, come here, come here!”

Yi Chi just turned his head to look at him, then continued at the original speed and ignored him.

Seeing him like this, Old Man Wang felt even more uneasy. "I'll lead the way, Yi Chi, I'll lead the way! I'll take you out and tell you everything about the educated youth. Come here, I have something to tell you!!"
