Walking down a road in Fengzhu Village, Liu Ergou couldn't stop thinking about what had just happened.
If my big brother hadn't come back, would I have already... with my sister-in-law?
The thought sent a surge of frustration through him. My big brother's timing couldn't have been worse. Couldn't he have come back a day earlier or a day later?! He just had to come back today.
Lost in thought, Liu Ergou unconsciously wandered into a vast cornfield. Looking at the newly grown corn stalks, some of his anger began to dissipate.
This corn is growing so well. This year is bound to be a bountiful one. And if it's a bountiful year...
Before Liu Ergou could finish the thought, a bright light suddenly flashed from within the pitch-black cornfield. The light appeared abruptly and vanished just as quickly, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye. The sudden flash jolted Liu Ergou out of his contemplation, and he couldn't help but look in the direction it came from.
