Chapter 414: Why not just pretend you didn't see it?
"When did you see it?"
Gu Chaoxi frowned. How long had He Xing been at this construction site for him to encounter this incident?
"I saw him when I returned to the dormitory in the afternoon after Shen Shijie died."
After he finished speaking, his eyes dodged slightly, looking a little unnatural.
Gu Chaoxi naturally did not miss this point, and smiled with curved eyebrows: "Really?"
"That's very strange. Your room is in the front yard, but Song Jiangwen's room is in the back yard."
"How did you see Wang Chao enter Song Jiangwen's yard?"
She finished her words leisurely, sneered, and cast a sharp look at He Xing.
"What good does lying do for you?"
However, this time, He Xing no longer answered, but just shook his head.
Pei Yan was silent, thought for a while, and looked at Gu Chaoxi: "Maybe there is something else that prompted him to go to the back yard?"
Shen Shijie's room is also in the yard at the back. If He Xing went to the back to get something from Shen Shijie's room, then what was he doing there?
But He Xing had just arrived at the construction site. Could he have any contact with Shen Shijie so soon?
"Shen Shijie." Gu Chaoxi suddenly uttered a name and stopped talking.
He Xing sat on the ground for a long time before he slowly stood up and crawled towards Wang Chao's position.
He had lost his tools and could only dig with his hands, digging in the ground again and again, as if he was determined to bury Wang Chao.
The three of them were silent for a while and simply moved aside.
Qin Wei couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he took a few steps, picked up the shovel on the ground, and handed it to He Xing.
"You use this." After saying that, she pursed her lips.
He Xing looked back, took the shovel without hesitation and started digging the ground.
While shoveling, he felt aggrieved again and tears started to flow.
"Why did you have to come over here? Why? Can't you just pretend you didn't see it?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe the tears from his cheeks, and then he continued to dig the soil angrily.
The earth slope next to it had sunk partially downwards, so He Xing pushed Wang Chao inside.
He continued digging from the side until Wang Chao was completely trapped in it. Then he stopped and stood up from the ground with the help of the shovel.
The soil that was dug out at the beginning was now covered on Wang Chao's body little by little by He Xing.
Until the last bit of the bed sheet was covered by the mud, Wang Chao was finally buried completely.
As if afraid that the soil would loosen up, He Xing took the shovel and hit it several times just to compact the soil.
Gu Chaoxi looked at it and realized that it was no wonder that the body buried in the pit was discovered later. It turned out that it was not buried properly at all.
He Xing probably thought that this location had been abandoned and no one would notice it.
However, if you look at this location from upstairs, it is indeed very obvious.
She didn't say anything, raised her hand and tugged at Pei Yan's clothes, then raised her chin and gestured towards the building.
Pei Yan understood and just shook his head.
They have no right to interfere with the development of the plane story, these are things of the past.
The three of them waited for He Xing to be buried without saying another word.
"Why don't you leave yet?"
It was hard to tell whether the tears or sweat on He Xing's face; in any case, he looked wet all over.
Gu Zhaoxi pursed her lips, then answered him softly: "If you leave, we will leave too."
He Xing was silent. He glanced at Gu Chaoxi, then swept his eyes across Qin Wei and Pei Yan's faces. Then he turned around and strode out of the weeds.
As I walked, the weeds made a slight sound as they rubbed against my clothes.
He turned around and saw that the three people were indeed following him.
The light from the overhead lamp was quite bright. Qin Wei pointed the direction to the ground, and the remaining light was enough for several people to see each other's expressions clearly.
After He Xing came out, he put the shovel back to where he had originally taken it.
Pei Yan glanced sideways and chuckled, "So you didn't bring your own shovel."
Perhaps because he was afraid that the dirt on the shovel would arouse suspicion among the workers the next day, He Xing squatted on the ground and wiped off all the mud stains one by one with the hem of his clothes.
"Don't look at it. It's going to rain soon. Let's go back."
Gu Chaoxi tugged at the corner of Pei Yan's clothes and dragged him forward.
Qin Wei followed.
No one cared about what would happen to He Xing behind him, or whether the shallowly buried body would be able to avoid being exposed in the rain tonight.
Not long after returning to the dormitory, it began to rain heavily outside again.
Listening to the rustling sound of rain, Gu Chaoxi tossed and turned in bed several times but still couldn't fall asleep.
She sat up, got off the bed, and punched the air in the dark.
After a thin layer of sweat broke out on his body, he took a long breath and lay down, feeling relieved.
I lay sideways, exposing my back to the air, and hugged the quilt in front of me. Soon I felt very sleepy.
When I woke up the next day, the hair on my forehead was stuck to my head and was a little wet.
There was a sultry heat in the air, and the whole person seemed to be pressed down by the heat wave from above.
She walked to the sink and washed her face, and when she went out, she realized that it seemed to be quite early.
There weren't many workers out.
Walk down the stairs and then head towards the yard in front.
He Xing was already busy in the kitchen, and He Mei was helping him with a blank expression on her face.
She walked over and knocked on the window.
He Xing raised his eyes and looked over, and when he saw her, his expression was silent for a moment.
Before he could say anything, He Mei noticed the noise and walked over, leaning forward slightly towards the window.
"what do you need?"
Gu Chaoxi raised his eyebrows and pointed at the pot where He Mei had cooked mung bean soup before: "Is there one?"
"Yes, but it's not cold yet. Would you like a bowl?"
"Yeah, one bowl, and then another bowl of dumplings." She nodded, leaned against the wall next to her, and looked inside with dull eyes.
He Xing's eyes were not kind, and even contained a hint of hostility, probably because he was afraid that Gu Chaoxi would say something nonsense in front of He Mei.
In fact, there is no need to worry about this. After all, Gu Chaoxi would never tell anyone about the burial of the body, and naturally there would be people from other worlds who would expose it.
She was just having breakfast.
He Mei brought the thing over, she reached out to take it, and looked up at He Xing again.
This man's gaze was so intense that she couldn't ignore it.
Shrugging his shoulders, Gu Chaoxi didn't care and went straight to an empty seat and sat down.
He Xing's craftsmanship is actually quite good. Logically speaking, after being in there for so long, his skills should have become rusty.
While chewing, she looked toward the window again.
He Xing didn't know what he said to He Mei. The man glanced at him, then snorted coldly and turned away.
On the other side, He Mei was persuading her helplessly and gave her a helpless smile.
She looked at it twice, lowered her eyes, and drank the mung bean soup intermittently.
