C2 The Girl in the Latrine

When Shi Lei woke up, many foreign memories flashed past his mind, but he was met with darkness, "It's already so late."

It was rumored that there were wild beasts on the mountain, so Shi Lei did not have time to think about the strange things that happened to him just now. Instead, he turned and ran down the mountain because he was worried.

Bang bang …

Because he was too tired last night, when Shi Lei returned to his second uncle's house, he fell asleep. However, before he slept for even a few hours, he was woken up by the intense knocking sound.

Shi Lei stood up and opened the door in a daze.

"Shi Lei, look at the time, you're still sleeping. Where did you fool around last night?"

"Aunt, I went to pay my respects to my parents yesterday, so I came back late."

Shi Lei explained, the young woman in front of him was his second uncle's wife, after his parents died, he entrusted himself to be raised by second uncle, and his second uncle's house had a small noodle shop, where Shi Lei would normally work other than during class.

"Hmph, I've thought it through. I don't think I'm going to university anymore!" The young maiden looked at Shi Lei and could not help but say.

Shi Lei nodded.

"Then get up and help out at the noodle store. Although we promised your parents to take care of you, you can't eat and drink for free. Your second uncle and I also don't have the money to support you."

"Cui Hua, what are you doing? Lei came back late yesterday to let him sleep a bit more. Now that the school is on vacation, business is not as good."

At this moment, Shi Lei's second uncle walked over. In this family, Shi Lei's second uncle treated Shi Lei pretty well.

Hmph, do you have the money to support idle people?" "The money his parents had given him has long since been used up. We are all living our lives with our belts tied tight, and we still need to raise an idle person. Do you want to keep it?

Seeing his Second Uncle and Second Aunt quarreling, Shi Lei could not help but say with a bitter face, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, I'm preparing to return to the village. Thank you for taking care of me during this period."

"Lei, you go back to the village, this …" Shi Fugui couldn't bear it anymore, but his family's situation wasn't any better, especially since his wife had already opposed him taking care of Shi Lei.

"Don't worry, Second Uncle. I'm already an adult, so I will take care of myself."

"Shi Lei, you must be tired of your wings. How about you use our money to buy it?" Liu Cuihua suddenly called out.

"Alright, stop talking to me."

"It was originally, but we were the ones who paid for the last semester. Adding the living expenses, it was over three thousand yuan." Liu Cuihua said.

"Aunt, I still don't have any money. Don't worry, I'll pay you back when I have money." After Shi Lei finished speaking, he simply packed his clothes and turned to leave.

"Lei..."

"What's it called? How would you know how expensive it is if you're not the boss?"

Shi Lei smiled bitterly, every family had its own problems, he did not resent them, and when he thought about it, he had not been able to return home after studying for so many years, so he did not dare think too much, and could only add trouble.

Running at top speed, Shi Lei finally saw a familiar place, the place where he grew up.

In the familiar land, Shi Lei felt a sense of familiarity and quickly arrived at his hometown. Although his parents had passed away, the tile-roofed house at home was still there.

Returning tired birds to their nests, returning leaves to their roots, this was their true home.

However, looking at the house in front of him, Shi Lei was a little confused. According to his thinking, a house that had been abandoned for a few years should be extremely shabby, but it seemed to be updated instead.

Carrying doubts, Shi Lei walked to the door and discovered that it was also open. He couldn't help but become even more doubtful.

As soon as he entered the room, he could smell a fragrant aroma wafting into his nose. On the table was a plate with a fish on it.

Gu gu …

Shi Lei couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He hadn't eaten a single drop of rice since noon yesterday.

Meow …

At the moment, a cat was meowing not too far away, and it looked a little weak.

After splitting some of it with the cat, Shi Lei started to eat. Just as he was about to take a bite, he frowned: "Why is the taste so weird?"

Not thinking too much, he had to eat his fill first, but before he could rejoice, Shi Lei's face suddenly changed, and he stood up and ran out of the cave.

The countryside was made of latrine, built at the back of the house, sheltered from the wind and rain by a tent.

He lifted the curtain in one go, but the next scene caused Shi Lei to widen his eyes. He was a young girl who looked to be in his early twenties, squatting inside the pit of the latrine.

As for the young girl, she widened her eyes and finally let out a scream.

"No, I'm sorry, I didn't know there was someone inside."

Shi Lei quickly took a step back, but accidentally stepped on a rock, lost his balance, and directly threw himself at the girl.
