Chapter 285 The Delicate Miss
The woman watching from the side was stunned. She didn't expect that this seemingly weak buyer was actually so capable.
Director Zhao was also frightened and hid behind the crowd, trembling. He wanted to use these hooligans to teach this ungrateful buyer a lesson, but he ended up losing more than he gained.
Chu Tian beat away a few strong men, turned around and walked up to the woman, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
The woman shook her head gratefully: "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I would be in trouble today."
"It's just a piece of cake." Chu Tian smiled, "By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Li Qiuyue."
"Li Qiuyue," Chu Tian repeated, thinking that this name was really nice, like the autumn moon, clear and bright. "My name is Chu Tian."
"Brother Chutian," Li Qiuyue lowered her head a little embarrassedly, "Thank you for saving me. I... I have nothing to repay you with. You can take these apples." She pointed to several baskets on the ground, which were full of red apples.
Chu Tian then noticed that there were several baskets next to Li Qiuyue. The apples in the baskets were big, plump, and bright in color. They were obviously good varieties.
“These apples are…”
"I planted them myself." Li Qiuyue explained, "I contracted a piece of wasteland from the commune and planted some apple trees. They finally bore fruit this year, but I didn't expect..."
Chu Tian understood that this girl was bullied by Zhao Youde and those hooligans. He felt even more disgusted with Zhao Youde, and at the same time, he felt a little pity for Li Qiuyue.
"I can't take these apples for free," Chu Tian said, "How about this, I buy your apples at the market price, what do you think?"
When Li Qiuyue heard this, she waved her hands quickly: "No, no, this is too much. I can't take so much money."
"You deserve this." Chu Tian said firmly, "You worked so hard to grow these apples, and you can't let those bad guys take them away for nothing."
Li Qiuyue wanted to say something else, but Chu Tian interrupted her: "It's settled. If you refuse again, you are looking down on me, Chu Tian."
Seeing his firm attitude, Li Qiuyue had no choice but to agree.
Chu Tian asked Li Qiuyue to take him to see her apple orchard. Sure enough, unlike what she said, although the apple orchard was not large, it was well managed, and the apple trees were lush and full of fruits.
Chu Tian secretly admired Li Qiuyue's hard work and ability, but at the same time he despised Zhao Youde even more. This so-called commune director not only did not seek benefits for the members, but colluded with ruffians and bullied the people. He was simply a borer!
He decided that he must expose this matter and make Zhao Youde receive the punishment he deserved.
Chu Tian and Li Qiuyue loaded the apples onto the oxcart and prepared to return to the city. Before leaving, Chu Tian found Zhao Youde and threw the remaining two packs of Daqianmen in his face: "Director Zhao, you should keep these cigarettes for yourself! Don't do those sneaky things in the future, or you will fall into trouble one day!"
Zhao Youde's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to get angry. He could only watch Chu Tian and Li Qiuyue leave.
On the way back, Chu Tian talked a lot with Li Qiuyue. He learned that Li Qiuyue was an orphan who grew up with her grandparents. After her grandparents passed away, she lived alone and made a living on this apple orchard.
Chu Tian listened to Li Qiuyue's story, and his heart was full of sympathy and love. He felt that this girl was not only beautiful, but also strong, independent, and self-reliant, much better than those delicate young ladies.
As the sun sets, the ox cart slowly drives along the country road. The golden sunlight shines on Li Qiuyue's face, giving her a soft glow. Chu Tian looks at her, and a warm feeling inexplicably surges in his heart.
Suddenly, the ox cart jolted violently, Li Qiuyue screamed, and her body fell towards Chu Tian involuntarily. Chu Tian was quick to grab her waist.
When their eyes met, time seemed to stand still. Li Qiuyue smelled a faint smell of tobacco mixed with a hint of sweat on Chu Tian's body, but she didn't find it unpleasant. Instead, she felt an inexplicable sense of security.
Chutian
His hand, through the thin clothes, felt the softness and warmth of Li Qiuyue's waist. An electric current instantly spread throughout his body, causing his heartbeat to speed up and his breathing to quicken.
At this moment, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from afar...
Chu Tian's breathing became heavy. He felt Li Qiuyue's soft body pressed tightly against him. A faint fragrance entered his nostrils, making him a little intoxicated. He subconsciously tightened his arms and hugged Li Qiuyue tighter.
Li Qiuyue's cheeks flushed and her heart beat like a drum. She could feel the heat from Chu Tian's strong arms and chest, which made her feel nervous and relieved. She raised her head slightly and saw Chu Tian's angular face and deep eyes. She was a little dazed for a moment.
The sound of horse hooves coming from afar was getting closer and closer, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere between the two. Li Qiuyue hurriedly broke free from Chu Tian's arms, tidied her clothes, and asked calmly, "Who is coming?"
Chu Tian also came to his senses and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a chestnut horse galloping towards him, with a man in black tights riding on the horse.
The man was tall, with a stern face, a long sword on his waist, and an imposing aura. He pulled the reins and stopped beside the ox cart, his eyes sweeping sharply over Chu Tian and Li Qiuyue.
"Who are you?" the man asked in a cold tone.
Chu Tian thought to himself that this man was not a good person. Judging from his attire and aura, he was definitely not an ordinary person. He stepped forward, bowed and said, "I am Chu Tian, this is Miss Li Qiuyue. We came from Taohua Village and are about to return to the city."
The man looked Chu Tian up and down and snorted coldly: "Taohua Village? I heard that there was a savage girl named Li Qiuyue there. Could it be you?"
When Li Qiuyue heard this, her eyebrows immediately raised and she angrily asked, "Who are you? Why do you say that to me?"
The man sneered: "My name is Lei Zhen, and I'm the head of the county police. I've been ordered to arrest you, so you'd better surrender!"
Chu Tian was shocked. He didn't expect Li Qiuyue to be a fugitive. He asked quickly, "What did Miss Li do wrong?"
Lei Zhen glanced at Chu Tian and sneered, "She killed someone, and you still dare to ask me what I did wrong? Boy, I advise you to mind your own business, otherwise I will arrest you too!"
Li Qiuyue's face turned pale, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. She grabbed Chu Tian's sleeve tightly and whispered, "Brother Chu, go away quickly and leave me alone!"
Chu Tian patted Li Qiuyue's hand, signaling her to rest assured, then turned to Lei Zhen and said, "Captain Lei, I think there must be some misunderstanding here. Miss Li is gentle and kind, how could she kill someone?"
