The mountain road was narrow, the discussions were not as soft as the villagers who were smiling and moving to the side of the road imagined. Similar words lingered in Zhang Lisheng's ears all the way until he walked into his house.
Until then, Zhang Lisheng faintly understood why his father always had a long face without a smile even though everyone in the village seemed to be extremely polite to him. He was eccentric and weird.
It turned out that the villagers' politeness and respect was a kind of alienation in nature. Such alienation had separated the Zhang family and ordinary people into two different worlds for thousands of years.
Zhang Lisheng let out a depressed sigh and locked the heavy wooden door.
The dead bodies in the yard had been moved away by the police. Only four human figures drawn with white chalk remained to replace them.
There were still bloodstains on the ground, it looked very creepy among the human figures.
After being interrogated for a whole day and night, Zhang Lisheng finally returned home. He felt exhausted after the nervousness faded away, he did not have the mood to clean the yard.
He fetched a bucket of well water and washed his face. He then returned to his bedroom and fell asleep.
The moon was already high in the sky when he woke up. Zhang Lisheng got up and walked to his dead father's bedroom. He picked up a few sets of heavy overalls from the wooden box that was filled with clothes.
As he slowly savored the last words that Yang Zhengqi said in the police car, he slowly understood that the fact that he had ordered his wizard gu to poison his Third Brother who wanted to buy his life with money in the end would very likely lead to an unexpected revenge that was out of the law.
Of course, Zhang Lisheng had to regain the power to protect himself as soon as possible in the face of revenge.
As a Rank-1 Wizard, the power was undoubtedly the wizard worm.
Therefore, he changed into the oversized and heavy overalls and wrapped his sleeves and pants with black tape. He then walked out of the old house quietly with light footsteps. He planned to take the risk to hunt for worms in the jungle.
It was around four o 'clock in the morning. The entire mountain village, including the villagers and the travelers, had fallen asleep. Zhang Lisheng walked on the stone road quietly, the cold wind was blowing.
Although his wizard power had almost doubled and he estimated that the number of times he could refine wizard gus would increase from two to four times, without Qing Hong's protection, he knew very well that this trip to the dense jungle in the middle of the night would undoubtedly be more dangerous than the first time.
He could not go deep into the forest with blind confidence, it was best to only hunt for insects in the reforested area. Zhang Lisheng had arrived at the village entrance when he made up his mind. With the help of the moonlight, he suddenly saw two police cars parked at the empty space at the village entrance.
The police car's engine was turned off so nobody could see what was going on in the car from the outside. There were no police officers who opened the car door to ask Zhang Lisheng why he left the village so late.
However, Zhang Lisheng could faintly feel that Yang Zhengqi's eyes were staring at him with a piercing gaze behind the glass of one of the cars.
Zhang Lisheng thought about it carefully and dispelled his original plan without hesitation. He turned around and walked home quickly along the road he came from.
In the police car leading the way, a young police officer who was sleepy sitting in the driver's seat said excitedly as he watched Zhang Lisheng's silhouette that was getting further and further away, "Captain, that's amazing! You guessed it right, this fella is really daring. He's acting up right after he got released after committing such a big crime.
Unfortunately, the police car was parked at the empty space this time, it's too obvious. Otherwise, we could definitely get some clues with his fearless guts. "
"That's right. We're not here to find Zhang Lisheng's weakness, we're here to prevent him from having any conflict with the people from the East Guangdong Yuehai Group.
Song Lihua and Song Liguo are not like us who need evidence. Since Song Lisheng died in Zhang Lisheng's house, they'll definitely make Zhang Lisheng pay with his life no matter what. Otherwise, they'll lose face in the underworld. "
"Captain, then aren't we protecting the suspect?" The young police officer said in shock.
Yang Zhengqi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, rolled down the window a little to enjoy the cold wind. He lit a cigarette and said in a deep voice, "Of course we're not protecting the suspect, we're preventing a crime from happening.
"Xiao Li, do you know how many foreign tourists there are in this small mountain village? If another major crime happens here, I'm afraid the leaders from the municipal bureau and even the provincial bureau will have to bear the consequences.
"But don't worry, we don't have to keep an eye on him for too long. My friend in the provincial bureau has already received a letter. According to him, the Chengdu consulate has successfully contacted Zhang Lisheng's mother. If everything goes well, he'll leave China in two to three days at most."
At the same time when Yang Zhengqi was giving advice to his valued subordinate, Zhang Lisheng had already returned home with a gloomy face.
At the same time, in Guangzhou, the capital of the most developed coastal province in China, the bustling and brightly lit central area, a slightly plump middle-aged man wearing a black suit strolled out of the earliest landmark building in Guangzhou.
A slightly chubby middle-aged man in a black suit with a kind and benevolent expression on his face slowly walked out of the earliest landmark building in Yang Cheng, the Sheraton Hotel that was seventy-nine stories high.
It was rare for a Chinese, especially a man who was out of shape, to wear a suit so well.
Under the beige light, the hotel's bellboys bowed together, "Mr. Song, we welcome you next time."
The middle-aged man nodded with a smile.
At the entrance of the hotel, a medieval black Passat made in Germany (Volkswagen Passat) was parked at the side. Compared to the luxury cars driving around, it seemed a little shabby, but its Yue A0001 license plate made all the people in the same industry feel ashamed.
The middle-aged man strolled to the front of the car, opened the back seat of the Passat and got in.
"Brother Haizi, where are you going?" The driver with white hair, who was wearing a cool sweater, started the car and asked with a loud voice.
"Aqua Garden, I'm tired today, I want some peace," the middle-aged man said with a bitter smile tiredly.
"F * ck you, there wasn't even a mouse on the street at four o 'clock in the past, but now the street is filled with cars. Do people still want to live?"
"With the development of the economy, it's natural for us to socialize later. Dog teeth, you're tired too."
"I've slept for the whole day, so I'm very energetic. I'm talking about your Brother Haizi, you're busy from night to night … Sigh."
"Although we've been on the right track, we can't not contact each other often. We're businessmen, how can we not do this …" The middle-aged man suddenly felt his phone vibrating in his pocket as he spoke.
He took out his phone and looked down. It was an anonymous text message that said, "Don't move when the wind is strong, take your time to think, don't tell me your name is unknown."
"Don't move when the wind is strong, take your time to think, don't tell me my name is unknown. Hehe, don't tell me that my brother, Song Lihai, died in vain just like that?" The middle-aged man mumbled to himself and lifted his head. His eyes had a sharp gleam like that of an eagle, and his entire temperament became completely different in an instant.
The driver who was driving smirked and said softly without turning his head, "Brother Haizi, it's a text message from Sun Changting, isn't it? That bastard is crazy about being the director.
Do you need me to do something? "
Song Lihai shook his head and said expressionlessly, "No need, Second Brother's Mountain Cat has already left for Western Sichuan.
Third Brother reaped what he sowed this time. It's good enough that he has an explanation. "
Song Lihai's explanation was simple, but when the driver heard the word 'Mountain Cat', he sucked in a breath of cold air as if he had a toothache. "I don't know where Mr. Second found Mountain Cat. It's very strange.
It'll definitely be fine if he's going to do it. "
Zhang Lisheng who knew nothing about the danger could only lock the door and lie on the bed again after walking into his bedroom.
He tossed and turned for a long time but he could not fall asleep. Eventually, he sat with his legs crossed and closed his eyes. He began chanting witchcraft incantation and began cultivating witchcraft.
He chanted for a few hours. It was already past nine in the morning when Zhang Lisheng shut his mouth as he was thirsty.
The overnight cultivation progress was quite gratifying. The speed of his witchcraft power had obviously increased since it was rich. Zhang Lisheng who was initially depressed could not help but feel proud of himself.
Just when he was thinking that he might be able to break through to Rank-2 Wizard much earlier, a few faint knocks on the door interrupted his sweet dream.
Zhang Lisheng did not expect someone to knock on the door of the Zhang family's old house. He was stunned for a moment and listened carefully. He got off the bed and ran to the courtyard to ask after realizing that the knocks were not an illusion. "Who is it?"
"Erm … Old Man Lisheng, it's me. I'm Lielinzi from the Tao family." A familiar stuttering voice came from outside the door.
Zhang Lisheng heard that and ran to the courtyard door immediately. He opened the door and said while looking embarrassed, "Uncle Ah Lie, why are you calling me that too? I'm not an old man. It's the technology era now, there's no such thing.
You … you should just call me Mountain Worm. "
Tao Lielin who was standing outside the door relaxed a little after hearing what Zhang Lisheng said. However, he said stubbornly, "We Miaowei people have to believe in old men no matter what era it is. You're the Zhang family's descendant, and …"
"Uncle Ah Lie, my father died after being hit by a taxi. Why do you still believe in old men?
I know there's something fishy about the four people's deaths. Perhaps my ancestors really left something to guard the house, but I'm really not an old man. "
Tao Lielin's expression eased up a lot after he managed to explain himself reasonably. "T-This … this …"
"Why would I lie to you, Uncle Ah Lie?
Oh yeah, you're here to bring me to the town bank to deposit the money, am I right? "
"That's right. Bring the insurance company's compensation check, gift money, and your account number. I'll bring you to the town bank to open an account and deposit all the money there."
Zhang Lisheng nodded and said, "Uncle Ah Lie, I'll get the money box then. You can wait in the house." He then ran back to his bedroom.
Tao Lielin who was outside the door shuddered when he saw the blood stain in the courtyard. However, he no longer had the courage to step into the Zhang family's old house numbly like he did the funeral a few days ago.
He stood still and shouted, "Erm, I'll wait for you outside the door."
