A well-behaved girl was deceived while searching for her husband; she married a childless military o

Qiao Lanshu's feeling was indeed correct. At the back door of the supply and marketing cooperative, one of the men unloading goods looked up and gazed at Qiao Lanshu in the distance.

Qiao Lanshu had already walked far away, but he was still standing there, squinting and staring for a while.

One of the men, who was carrying things, bumped him with his shoulder and said, "Liangzi, what are you looking at? Hurry up and unload the goods."

The man named Liangzi was tall and plain-looking, with a one-inch scar on his forehead. He threw the cigarette he had finished smoking on the ground, ground it under his foot, smiled, and said, "It's nothing. The streets in this city are just different; they're quite clean."

Even the women in the city are different; they are thin and have fair skin, making them look quite different.

He pondered it to himself, but didn't reveal it.

Hearing this, a colleague nearby laughed and said, "Of course! The streets in the city are cleaned by professionals, unlike in the countryside. That's why everyone wants to move to the city!"

It's a pity that now the production brigade manages everything, and villagers can't even come to the city to work.

Even if they want to come to the city, if their household registration isn't transferred, they can only do temporary work, like Liangzi.

Liangzi was a temporary worker at the supply and marketing cooperative and a porter in the team. Her usual job was to load and unload goods.

However, he always slacked off. Whenever the team members drove to transport or deliver goods, he would hide in the supply and marketing cooperative's team office and refuse to go out.

He only comes out to pretend to help move the goods when they arrive.

Even so, no one dared to say anything to him, after all, Liangzi had quite a background. His uncle was Chu Haiming, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, and Chu Haiming's wife had a brother who was a division commander in the army.

So even though Liangzi himself came from the mountains and his household registration was still in the village, he was still able to work at the supply and marketing cooperative, and no one dared to offend him.

After Liangzi finished moving the goods and saw that there was nothing else to do, he came out of the supply and marketing cooperative and walked along the street. When he reached the fork in the road, he stopped.

It was a crossroads. He stood there, looking left and right, not knowing which way the girl had gone.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Liangzi gave up and turned to go back to her dormitory.

……

After returning home, Qiao Lanshu was always restless.

But she could never remember, and felt as if she had forgotten many things.

She started thinking too much, and her headache returned. She felt dizzy and uncomfortable all over.

Qiao Lanshu took off her cotton-padded coat, put on a sweater, curled up on the sofa, and closed her eyes to rest.

Although Qin Yuanzheng was unable to pick her up from get off work in time, he still returned home as soon as possible.

When he got back, it was already past 7 p.m. Qin Yuanzheng felt a little guilty. He had promised to pick up his wife from get off work every day, but he still missed it.

When he got home, he saw that the house was dark; it was already dark, but the lights were off.

His heart sank, wondering if his little wife hadn't come back yet.

What time is it?

As Qin Yuanzheng was thinking this, he casually turned on the light and saw Qiao Lanshu curled up on the sofa, her face pale and her eyes closed.

Qin Yuanzheng: "!!!"

Qin Yuanzheng didn't even have time to take off his hat and coat. He walked over in a few steps, squatted down in front of the sofa, took off his gloves, and gently touched Qiao Lanshu's forehead. She didn't have a fever.

He called softly, "Wife, wake up? Why are you sleeping here? Are you feeling unwell?"

Qin Yuanzheng wondered if he had gone too far last night, which was why Qiao Lanshu hadn't recovered all day.

He reflected on himself for two seconds, then thought it didn't seem likely; his wife was probably sick.

Qiao Lanshu had a dream. She dreamed of her past life again, where she fainted on the street and was picked up by a man.

When she opened her eyes, exhausted and hungry, she found herself locked in a dilapidated house.

The man's face was blurry; I only vaguely remember that he had a scar on his face.

But perhaps it was a protective mechanism of her brain, she forgot what the man looked like, even in her dreams, it was a blur.

The man said to her, "You're the one I picked up, and you'll be my woman from now on."

Qiao Lanshu cried and begged him to let her go, saying she had money and could give him money.

But men don't want that.

The man said he only wanted her to be his wife.

Qiao Lanshu woke up with a start and saw Qin Yuanzheng looking at her with concern. He was holding her in his arms, and the two of them were sitting on the sofa.

Qiao Lanshu was pale, her eyes were filled with panic, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Qin Yuanzheng reached out and stroked her long hair, asking softly, "Having another nightmare? Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Qiao Lanshu's eyes reddened, and tears welled up again. She nestled in Qin Yuanzheng's arms, crying, "Brother Zheng, where have you been? Why are you only showing up now?"

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

Qin Yuanzheng felt even worse. He said, "We had a meeting at the mine today, so we were a little late. I'm sorry, I promised to pick you up every day."

Qiao Lanshu silently shed tears, sobbing as she whispered, "If only I had met you sooner, if only I had met you sooner..."

Qin Yuanzheng wouldn't wait until she was forty to go on a blind date with her; the two could only be together for five years.

Qiao Lanshu is now somewhat bewildered, unsure whether her past life was a dream or whether the wonderful life she enjoys in this life is the dream itself.

She was a little confused.

Qin Yuanzheng hugged her tenderly, gently patting her back, and asked in a low voice, "What nightmare did you have? Tell me about it?"

Qiao Lanshu nestled in his arms and cried silently for a long time.

She cried without making a sound, just silently shedding tears, which broke Qin Yuanzheng's heart.

Qiao Lanshu cried for a while before she calmed down. She said, "I dreamed that when I first came to Longcheng, I fainted on the roadside, and then a man picked me up and locked me in a cave in the mountains."

Qin Yuanzheng tightened his grip on Qiao Lanshu and whispered, "It's all fake. After you fainted, I took you to the hospital. There was no other man, and no cave dwelling."

Qiao Lanshu said quietly, "That man locked me in a cave and made me bear his son."

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

Even though it was just a dream, Qin Yuanzheng felt an indescribable anger well up from the bottom of his heart just by hearing these words.

He felt angry, heartbroken, and also a little sad.

These complex emotions overwhelmed him like a surging tide.

His mood also darkened, and he held Qiao Lanshu without saying a word.

Qiao Lanshu said in a low voice, "I don't remember much about being locked in the cave. I only know that I was locked up for two years before I escaped."

But she also understood that one of the unloading workers she saw that afternoon was probably the man who had locked her in the cave in her past life.
