Rebirth has space, and the new love sends the bad husband to prison

"Dear villagers, urgent notice! Liang Sumei, the daughter of Liang Guangchuan in our village, has gone missing. Her family is very worried now. Everyone must spare some time to help look for her."

Upon hearing the news from the village committee's loudspeaker, the villagers of Tianwa Village were in an uproar. They stopped what they were doing and began to talk about it.

"Oh, how could he disappear when he was living in the village?" An old man frowned, looking quite puzzled.

"Yeah, could it be that he jumped into the river again like he did that day?" a young man said worriedly.

"I remember hearing her mother say during the day that she went up the mountain to collect firewood. Could it be... that she was taken away by a wolf?" a woman said in panic.

"Stop guessing, stop guessing, let's go look for it quickly!" A middle-aged man stood up and greeted everyone.

Villagers went out one after another to look for Liang Sumei. Jiang Fu organized the gang of thugs in the defense group and ordered them to search carefully inside and outside the village.

Liang Sumei originally just wanted to find a quiet place to hide, but she didn't expect to cause such a big commotion. She heard the news from the loudspeaker and felt a little scared. She thought about hiding in the mountains, but she was afraid of encountering hungry wolves, so she ran aimlessly along the narrow woods until she ran to a relatively secluded place.

She saw several families scattered around the edge of the woods, one of which had a small firewood room that looked quite secluded. Liang Sumei had an idea and decided to hide there for the time being. She tiptoed into the firewood room, gently moved two bundles of firewood away, crawled inside, and covered herself with the two bundles of firewood, looking through the gaps between the firewood to see what was happening outside.

Suddenly, Liang Sumei heard a rustling sound of footsteps. She immediately held her breath and tried her best to avoid making any sound. As the sound got closer, her heartbeat became more and more rapid.

"girl!"

The sudden shout startled Liang Sumei so much that she even burped uncontrollably.

The old man laughed out loud at her appearance, and then asked, "Are you playing hide-and-seek?"

Liang Sumei didn't know how to answer for a moment. She couldn't nod or shake her head. She could only shake her head irregularly.

"Haha, little girl, you'd better come out first. This is not a good place to hide." said the old man.

Liang Sumei mistakenly thought that the old man wanted to chase her away, so she hurriedly bowed to him and begged: "Uncle, please, let me hide here, there are a group of people outside who want to catch me."

"Oh? Is that so... Then I dare not take you in. What if they find you out of my house? I'm afraid I won't be able to explain myself even if I'm right." The old man replied.

Liang Sumei was so anxious that she almost cried: "Uncle, if they catch me, they will beat me to death!"

The old man felt very strange and asked, "Ah? What happened? What did you do wrong?"

Liang Sumei recounted what had happened in the past two days and begged, "Uncle, just make it through tonight. When the Revolutionary Committee comes to arrest them tomorrow, I will be free!"

The old man nodded and said, "Little girl, believe me, this is not a good place to hide. Come out quickly, I will take you to a place."

Although Liang Sumei had some doubts in her heart, seeing the old man's sincere expression, she hesitantly climbed out of the firewood pile and followed closely behind the old man.

After the old man brought Liang Sumei into the room, he pointed to a small wooden cabinet under the kang. Liang Sumei looked puzzled: "That's it? Are you kidding me?"

The old man urged impatiently: "Open it quickly!"

Liang Sumei had no choice but to slowly open the door reluctantly. She saw that the cabinet was filled with all kinds of books. She looked up at the old man in confusion.

"Move everything out." said the old man.

Liang Sumei thought to herself, there is really no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to find a place to hide, you have to work hard first. In this case, let's do it quickly! So she laboriously moved the books out in bundles. She wanted to put them on the floor, but the old man asked her to move them to the kang. After several trips back and forth, she finally emptied the cabinet.

"Uncle, you don't want me to hide in here, do you? This... is not just conspicuous a little, but billions of times!" Liang Sumei pointed at the pile of books on the kang, then pointed to the empty cabinet, and said to the uncle with dissatisfaction.

The old man glanced at her with contempt, then bent down, leaned forward, and put his head into the cabinet. He could only hear the sound of "squeaks and creaks" coming from the friction between the wood. Not long after, the old man stood up, pounded his waist with his hand, and said, "It's done, you can go in."

Liang Sumei bent down curiously and looked inside the cabinet. What a hidden world! It turned out that there was a cellar behind the wooden cabinet! The back panel behind the cabinet was turned down, and two ropes were installed behind the back panel that could be pulled up. As long as people got into the cellar and pulled the ropes, the back panel would return to its original state. From the outside, this cabinet was just an ordinary cabinet.

"Hey, stop being in a daze and come in quickly! I still have to put the book back to its place!" Seeing Liang Sumei's stunned look, the old man couldn't help but urge her.

Liang Sumei was surprised and a little excited, and she plunged into the cellar. At the entrance of the cellar, there was a thick stone slab. As long as it was erected on the backboard, even if someone knocked from the outside, it would never make a hollow sound, as if this was a whole solid wall. Liang Sumei seriously suspected that this old man had participated in the tunnel warfare!

The cellar was three meters deep, and if a bed was placed in it, it would be enough for two people to rest comfortably. Especially in the hot summer weather, there was a hint of coolness in the cellar, which gradually calmed down the nervous Liang Sumei.

Jiang Fu led a group of thugs into the yard of the old man's house, stared at the old man with a fierce look on his face, and asked in a rude tone: "Old bachelor, have you seen my wife?"

The old man remained silent and just shook his head slightly.

"You can't get anything out of a fight with a stick! Get out of the way!" Jiang Fu pushed the old man hard, causing him to stagger and nearly fall to the ground. The hooligans began to destroy the place wantonly, throwing the firewood in the woodshed all over the floor, picking up the iron pot and throwing it on the ground, and violently lifting up the kang mat, leaving the scene in a mess.

Jiang Fu's eyes fell on the cabinet under the kang. He walked forward, opened the cabinet door, and reached in to fumble around, but he didn't find anything he wanted. He knocked on the back panel casually, and after confirming that it was solid, he pulled his hand out, grabbed a book, and threw it hard into the pot on the ground, cursing: "What's the use of reading books? Can you eat it? Hahaha!"

"Hahahahahahaha..." The group of little punks behind him also let out a burst of shrill laughter.

The old man watched them silently, listened to their insults and ridicules, and was filled with anger. It was not until they confirmed that Liang Sumei was not there and had left and walked far away that the old man said indignantly: "I don't believe that the country will let these uneducated and ignorant people do whatever they want!"
