Entertainment: I really don’t want to be a thief!

Chapter 694: Seeing Through People’s Hearts
"You..." Mrs. Meng was choked by Lin Ke's words and couldn't speak for a long time.

Of course she knew that her son was uneducated and had caused a lot of trouble in the village, but he was her son after all. Now that he was dead, how could she not be sad?

"Stop pretending to be sympathetic here!" Mrs. Meng pointed at Lin Ke's nose and cursed, "You killed my son! Pay for my son's life!"

"I told you, your son died. It was his own fault. It has nothing to do with me!" Lin Ke looked at Mrs. Meng coldly and said word by word, "If you dare to make trouble again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Lin Ke's eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if they could see through people's hearts. Meng Po felt frightened by his gaze and dared not speak anymore.

She knew that Lin Ke was not someone to be trifled with, and if she continued to pester him, she would probably be in big trouble.

Mrs. Meng looked at the indifferent villagers around her, then at the aggressive Lin Ke and Wang Xinxin, and knew that she would not get any advantage today.

She got up from the ground, glared at Lin Ke hatefully, then turned and ran away.

"My son! You died so tragically! I will definitely avenge you!"

The cries of Mrs. Meng gradually faded away, and the villagers also dispersed. Only Lin Ke and Wang Xinxin were left standing there, looking at each other.

"Okay, let's all go." Wang Xinxin looked around. Although the villagers were curious, they still left in twos and threes due to Wang Xinxin's momentum.

Lin Ke looked at Meng Po's receding back with cold eyes. He knew that the matter was not over yet.

"Lin Ke, are you okay?" Wang Xinxin asked worriedly. She knew Lin Ke's character. He hated evil and could not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes. This incident must have left a knot in his heart.

"I'm fine." Lin Ke shook his head, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the anger in his heart, "Let's think about how to leave here first."

As he spoke, Lin Ke took out his cell phone from his pocket, wanting to see if he could contact the outside world, but found that the screen was dark and unresponsive.

"What's wrong?" Wang Xinxin asked.

"The phone is still broken." Lin Ke shook his head helplessly, probably because it got soaked in water when it fell into the river yesterday.

"Mine is broken too." Wang Xinxin also tried to turn on the phone, and the result was the same.

"This is trouble." Lin Ke frowned. Without a mobile phone, they could not contact the outside world. They were like being trapped in this mountain, isolated and helpless.

"Don't worry, there will always be a way." Wang Xinxin comforted them. Although she was a little uneasy, she believed that as long as they didn't give up, they would definitely find a way out.

"Yeah." Lin Ke nodded. Now he could only take one step at a time.

"Mr. Lin, Miss Wang, please come in and take shelter from the rain. The rain is getting heavier outside." Uncle Lin stood under the eaves and shouted at Lin Ke and Wang Xinxin.

"Okay, thank you Uncle Lin." Lin Ke and Wang Xinxin responded and quickly walked into the house.

Uncle Lin’s house is a typical self-built house in the countryside. Although it is a bit old, it is very clean.

However, this sudden rainstorm made the already old houses look even more dilapidated.

The tiles on the roof were rustling in the strong wind, and rain was dripping through the gaps in the tiles, forming small puddles in the house.

"This rain really comes without any warning." Uncle Lin looked at the situation inside the house and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yeah, the rain won't stop anytime soon." Lin Ke looked around and found that the situation inside the house was worse than he had imagined.

Not only was there water everywhere in the living room, but even the bedroom started to leak. "Uncle Lin, do you have anything to cover your home? Like plastic sheeting or something?" Lin Ke asked.

"I'll go look for it." Uncle Lin said, turned and walked into the inner room. After a while, he came out holding a pile of worn plastic sheets.

"That's all we have. I don't know if it can be used." Uncle Lin said as he handed the plastic sheet to Lin Ke.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin." Lin Ke took the plastic sheet and started working with Wang Xinxin to find a way to plug the hole in the roof.

However, the rainstorm was so fierce that it could not be stopped by a few pieces of worn-out plastic sheets.

Although Lin Ke and Wang Xinxin tried their best, rain continued to seep in through the cracks in the roof. The water in the house became deeper and deeper, and it was about to reach over their ankles.

"We can't go on like this. We have to think of another way." Lin Ke looked at the situation in front of him with a frown.

"But what else can we do?" Wang Xinxin was also at a loss.

"I'll go see if I can find some wooden boards or something to temporarily reinforce the roof." Lin Ke said as he prepared to go out.

"It's raining so hard outside, you'd better not go out. It's too dangerous." Wang Xinxin grabbed Lin Ke's arm and said worriedly.

"It's okay, I'll just be careful." Lin Ke patted the back of Wang Xinxin's hand, signaling her not to worry.

"Then you must be careful." Wang Xinxin warned worriedly.

"Okay, I understand." Lin Ke nodded, turned and walked into the rain.

The rain poured down, hitting Lin Ke's body, soaking him in an instant.

Lin Ke braved the storm and struggled to find materials to repair the roof in the village.

However, the rainstorm came too suddenly, and many villagers' houses had varying degrees of leakage. Everyone was busy repairing their own houses and had no extra materials to lend to Lin Ke.

Lin Ke searched for a long time but couldn't find any suitable materials, so he had to give up temporarily and returned to Uncle Lin's house in the rain.

"How is it? Have you found something to repair the roof?" When Wang Xinxin saw Lin Ke coming back, she hurried over to him and asked with concern.

"No." Lin Ke shook his head and said helplessly, "This rain came too suddenly. Many villagers' houses are leaking. They don't even have enough money for themselves, let alone lend it to me."

"What should we do? The rain won't stop anytime soon. Are we just going to stay in the water like this?" Wang Xinxin looked at the situation inside the house with a frown on her face, a hint of anxiety in her tone.

"Don't worry, there will always be a way." Lin Ke comforted her. Although he himself was not sure, he did not want to make Wang Xinxin worry.

"But..." Wang Xinxin wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Ke.

"Let's not talk about it for now. Let's think about what else we can use to cover it." Lin Ke said, and began to look around the house.

Seeing this, Wang Xinxin also joined the search team.

However, Uncle Lin's house didn't have much furniture to begin with, and with the heavy rain, many things were soaked and could not be used at all.

Lin Ke and Wang Xinxin searched for a long time but couldn't find any suitable replacement.
