It was a hot summer day, and the sun was as hot as fire. Even though he was surrounded by trees and clear water in the countryside, Guo Qi could not help but feel a scorching heat rising in his heart. His shirt was already soaked with sweat.

Walking on the road in the village, Guo Qi wore straw sandals and lifted the legs of his coarse cloth pants. He wanted to go to Guo Yang Village's Great Water Lake to take a bath because it was a very hot and dry day. The villagers were all poor and had no money to buy a water heater.

Guo Qi lived in the north side of the village, while Guo Yang's Great Water Lake was just south of the village. Guo Qi was wearing his undershirt as he walked towards the south side of the village, it was already dusk, but the sun was still warm, so he thought he would reach the lake soon.

This was a mountain village, and the people's thoughts were relatively backward. Moreover, the people in the village were quite poor as well. It was a hot summer day and very few people would take a bath at home.

In the past, when Guo Qi went to take a bath, he saw many women swimming in the lake. His heart was beating rapidly and his face was red. When he got home, he was still thinking about those women's bodies.

It was almost dark now. In such a hot day, there would be people bathing in the lake. Guo Qi couldn't help but chuckle when he thought he might have a feast for the eyes later. This kind of life might be a bit poorer, but it was very comfortable.

Guo Yang Village was not considered very big, it was only a hundred families. Guo Qi's parents died early, and Guo Qi was living in the mud house his parents left him.

To the villagers, Guo Qi had always been very grateful. If not for his uncles, uncles, and grandmothers, he would have long since starved to death.

The villagers were all good people, but the people Guo Qi disliked the most also lived in the village. Guo Qi hated both Guo Jiang, the village chief, and Guo Biao, the village chief's neighbor.

Guo Jiang was the village chief, and Guo Biao was a famous family in the village. These two never even looked at Guo Qi directly, and Guo Qi didn't like these two either.

It was said that the reason Guo Jiang was able to become the village chief and Guo Biao was able to become a family leader was due to their relationship as his wife. Guo Jiang and Guo Biao were not righteous and were not clear about the women in the village.

There were many poor people in the village, and there were also a few that lived well. For those rich people, Guo Jiang and Guo Biao would try their best to curry favor with them. For poor people like Guo Qi, not only would these two not look at him directly, they would even give him a few harsh kicks.

Thinking about these two people, Guo Qi couldn't forget what happened in the village last year.

Last summer, when the weather was extremely hot and Guo Qi's house had nothing to eat, he couldn't stand the hunger any longer and wanted to go to the melon fields to pick some melon seeds to relieve his hunger. Who knew that at that time, Guo Jiang and Guo Biao would be rolling around with a woman in their arms.

Having been caught by Guo Qi, Guo Jiang and Guo Biao didn't say anything else and immediately started to punch and kick Guo Qi. Even the two naked women kicked Li Dazhu a few times, which wasn't bad.

Being wronged by these two people who were being snobbish on him, coupled with the fact that there were two women beside him, it was hard to tell who Guo Qi was. Guo Qi hated Guo Jiang and Guo Biao to death in his heart, but one was the head of the village, and the other was the richest man in the village.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle."

Just as he was about to leave the village, he suddenly heard the sound of water splashing. He turned his head and saw that it was the home of Guo Biao.

The sky was scorching hot, and the sound of the water was coming from Guo Biao's house. It was likely that someone was bathing in the courtyard.

He walked up to the gate and looked. The gate was locked from the inside. That guy Guo Biao was a man, so he wouldn't be afraid of being seen by others when he took a bath. And if he did, it would definitely be Guo Biao's wife, Wang Zhen.

In his heart, he couldn't bear to see Guo Biao acting so arrogantly. Since it was such a hot day and Liu Xiaoyan was taking a bath with the door locked, Guo Biao definitely wasn't home. He would first take some money from his wife.

Looking around Guo Biao's house, he saw a few trees beside the fence. Guo Qi smiled and climbed up with a tree in his arms. He hid on top of the tree and stared at the source of the water in the courtyard.

A ladle of water was poured down from the top of his head. The water flowed down through the hair and skin of the Village Head's wife, Wang Zhen. The water dripped onto the ground and rolled about like pearls.

Guo Qi would never have imagined that today, Village Head Guo Jiang's wife, Wang Zhen, and the Wanyuan Family's wife, Liu Xiaoyan, would be bathing in the yard together. Looking at the yard, Guo Qi felt the temperature of his body suddenly rise.

Although Wang Zhen lived in a mountain village, she did not work in the village. She ate well at home, lived well and took good care of herself. She looked young and beautiful, and her skin was even more tender than a fifteen or sixteen year old girl.

Looking at Wang Zhen, who was holding a ladle of water, whose body was already covered in sweat, he felt terrible all over.

Looking at the scene in front of him with a parched mouth, Guo Qi actually forgot that he was still on the tree. His waist started to react, his body froze, and the big tree shook a little.

Liu Xiaoyan was just about to scoop up a ladle of water and pour it over the head of the Village Head's wife, Wang Zhen, when she heard some noise. She was startled and raised her head to take a look.

Once he raised his head, his four eyes met, and Guo Qi unexpectedly forgot to hide.

"Ah!

Liu Xiaoyan let out a shrill scream. It was unknown if it was due to some unknown circumstances, but she held the ladle in her hand and threw it at Guo Qi.

Guo Qi, who had just regained his senses, felt a chill run down his spine. His feet slipped and he fell off the tree with a thud. He felt the pain coming from his butt and realized that he was in trouble. Clutching his butt, he limped away.

"Bastard Guo Qi, just you wait, don't let me beat you to death!"

Just as Guo Qi left, he heard Liu Xiaoyan's angry voice. Thinking about how Guo Biao was afraid of his wife, Guo Qi couldn't help moaning in his heart.

How did he get discovered?

Shaking his head, he couldn't stay in the village anymore. If Liu Xiaoyan and Wang Zhen let Guo Biao and Guo Jiang find someone to beat him up, then he would lose a layer of skin at least if he didn't die. Liu Xiaoyan and Wang Zhen didn't dare to disobey.

"I can't afford to offend him, can't I hide from him? I won't be able to survive in the countryside. I'm going to a big city to work." Unable to find a solution, Guo Qi became anxious and cursed out loud.

Two years ago, his neighbor San Ran came back from the big city. Not only did he bring back a lot of money, he even told Guo Qi about how great the big city was. Guo Qi was envious of him and wanted to go to the big city for a long time.

He hurriedly ran back to his house to pack up his tattered clothes before putting his head back on the table. Only then did he reluctantly leave his home that he had lived in for twenty years.

Even so, Guo Qi did not dare to take the main road. He was afraid that if he was caught by the village chief, Guo Jiang, and Guo Biao's men, he would be beaten to death.

After walking along a remote path for a long time, the grass shoes on his feet were worn to the point of exposing his toes, but Guo Qi still didn't dare to stop, because he felt that those people were right behind him, and from time to time, he could hear people chasing him and beating him up.

If he was hungry, he would eat the nest he brought out from home, which was the easiest thing to do if he was thirsty. There were a lot of ditches by the side of the road, so he could drink whatever he wanted.

"Oh my god, I finally found it!"

San Ran had said long ago that if he wanted to go to Ming City, he would need to walk on the asphalt. If he were to walk on two legs, even if his legs were broken, he might not be able to reach that place.

Having grown up in Guo Yang Village since childhood, Guo Qi had never been to such a faraway place. If not for Liu Xiaoyan and Wang Zhen's troubles, he would never have made the decision to leave the village and go to a big city.

Ming City was a few hundred miles away from Guo Yang Village. It was a large, economically developed city, and it was said that workers in Ming City could earn ten to twenty thousand yuan a year.

In Guo Yang Village, if he could get a few thousand yuan, then he would be considered a rich person. If he got a family of ten thousand, his whole family would be prosperous. And because Guo Biao was a rich person, he could do whatever he wanted in the village.

"When I get to the big city, I'll go look for San Ran. I'll also go find a job. After I earn some money, I'll throw the money at Guo Biao's face and see if he still dares to bring people to beat me up."

Guo Qi thought to himself happily, but he didn't have any money on him. The distance from here to Ming City was still a long way off, so he could only walk through it step by step.

"Artemis …"

Walking on the tarmac, the day was about to break, the soles of his worn-out shoes were worn out, feeling the pain on his feet, perhaps because of the blisters, Guo Qi found a place to rest.

Not long after he took a break, the sound of a tractor could be heard in Guo Qi's ear.

It was already dusk when they ran out of Guo Yang Village, and the road was still in the countryside at night. Guo Qi didn't even see a shadow of him, so when he heard the sound of the tractor, he didn't bother to put on his grass shoes, instead, he ran towards the direction of the sound.

It was getting dark as he ran, Guo Qi shouted, afraid that the person driving the tractor wouldn't be able to see him. If he missed this, who knows when he would have to wait for another bus?

"Hey!" Isn't that Meifeng and Brother-in-law? "

Guo Qi waved his hand and ran to the car. Seeing that the person driving the car was someone he was familiar with, he immediately became happy. Now he had hope of getting a lift.

"Little Qi, why did you come here? Are you lost? "Come, sister will take you back …"
