The kind-hearted uncle and aunt showed me the way to the Feng family's place. After giving me a few more instructions, they started their three-wheeler and rumbled away.
"What are you looking at them for?"
Seeing me standing there blankly watching the three-wheeler disappear, Si Jiangchen reached out and put his arm around my shoulder. "They're people on the verge of death. You can't save them."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
I quickly turned to look at Si Jiangchen.
Just now, although the couple looked honest, there was always a sense of disharmony. Now, after being reminded by Si Jiangchen's words, I finally woke up. They had the look of death on their faces!!
"How do you know? Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
Suddenly, I felt that there was one more layer of mystery around Si Jiangchen.
As a zombie outside the cycle of reincarnation, he not only had the characteristics of a living person, but his Taoist magic and spells were better than mine. Moreover, he could even tell fortunes from people's faces?!
He wasn't a terrifying zombie at all. He was clearly an enlightened old immortal!
Hearing my successive questions, Si Jiangchen just pursed his lips and smiled. "Xiao He, there are so many people going to die in the world. Do you think you can take care of all of them?"
His words left me speechless.
Who am I? How dare I compete with the Underworld for people's lives?!
However, knowing that these kind people who had helped me were going to die an untimely death, I still couldn't just stand by and do nothing...
I bit my lip hard. The next second, Si Jiangchen lowered his cheek and gave me a gentle kiss on the lips.
"You bit it!"
After saying that, he even licked my lips.
"Um!!"
I took two steps back, wiped my mouth, and ran towards the small western-style building of the Feng family, which was very distinctive in the whole village.
I take back what I said just now!!
He wasn't an enlightened old immortal at all. He was clearly a lecherous old pervert!
"Is anyone there?"
The outer wall of the three-story building of the Feng family was decorated very luxuriously, all paved with white ceramic tiles. The top floor wasn't capped yet, and several precast slabs were scattered in the yard. The gate wasn't closed, but out of courtesy, I still knocked on the courtyard gate twice.
"You stupid bitch! What are you knocking for!"
Suddenly, a thin and shriveled old woman rushed out from the first-floor door that hadn't been painted yet. She lowered her voice and shouted at me, "Don't you see that there are people sleeping at home?"
I was completely taken aback by the sudden malice. For a moment, I didn't know how to retort.
While I was in a daze, the old woman sized me up. "Are you a friend of our Xiaozhen? Did Xiaozhen ask you to take care of our family?"
I didn't understand what she meant for a moment and subconsciously nodded.
The old woman grinned with a few missing teeth. There was a calculating look in her eyes. "Then... do you have any money with you? We can't even afford to buy food in our family. Girl, please be kind and give this old woman a few dollars. I'll go buy some rice to cook."
"Really? It's only been a few days since the 600,000 yuan was given to you. How could it be all spent?"
Wei Yuan had taken that electric three-wheeler for the first time. He was jolted so much that his legs went numb. Even now, his legs were still weak. He walked in slowly, holding on to the wall. Just in time, he heard the old woman asking me for money, so he couldn't help shouting.
It had only been two months. How could a poor mountain village family spend 600,000 yuan in cash without a single cent left?!
Hearing Wei Yuan's words, the old woman immediately looked up. Her hunched body suddenly shot up like a spring. She rushed in front of Wei Yuan, grabbed his collar, and shouted hysterically, "It's you!! You killed our Xiaozhen, right! You bastard! My granddaughter died so miserably!!!"
As she said that, she even rammed her head into Wei Yuan's body.
"What do you want to do, crazy old woman?!"
Wei Yuan had never seen such a shrewish behavior from a rural old woman. He was so scared that he kept backing away, trying to get out of her attack range.
Unexpectedly, the old woman grabbed him tightly. Her shouting voice became even louder. "Zhuzi! Are you still lying dead in the house? The rich man who killed our Xiaozhen is here. Hurry up and come out!"
Hearing her tone, Wei Yuan was so scared that it seemed like she was going to arrest him. He quickly pushed the old woman away hard and tried to escape from the yard.
At this time, the door of the small building slammed loudly again. A black and strong man who was only wearing a pair of shorts strode out.
"Damn it! He still dares to come to our house? He really thinks he has a long life!"
The black and strong man named "Zhuzi" picked up a shovel beside the wall and walked towards us!
"Hey?!"
Passing by me, he was stunned for a moment, then pointed at me and asked the old woman, "Mom, is this the new wife you bought for me?!"
As he said that, he even turned his head and pinched my face. He opened his mouth and couldn't help swallowing hard. "It's so boring to fight with Shuanzi for Xiaosan every day at home!"
Obviously, this man was Feng Zhenzhen's father, Feng Zhuzi. The "Shuanzi" he mentioned should be Feng Zhenzhen's uncle. But who was that "Xiaosan"?
Could it be... Feng Zhenzhen's younger sister?!
I felt a chill run down my spine.
The old woman glared with her eyes and spat hard. She still grabbed Wei Yuan's clothes and scolded, "You only know about your lower body?! This is the rich man who compensated us 600,000 yuan. We can't let them go!"
Hearing the old woman's words, Feng Zhuzi's eyes lit up. He laughed and hit Wei Yuan's calf with the shovel in his hand. "Break his dog leg and see where he can go!"
Wei Yuan had never seen such a lawless person in his life. As soon as they met, they wanted to break his leg.
He desperately tried to break free from the old woman's entanglement. But the old woman was like unbreakable chewing gum. She even wanted to hug his body.
Wei Yuan only focused on the shovel hitting his calf and didn't notice the fist that Feng Zhuzi waved with his left hand. With a loud bang, the fist as big as a sand bowl hit his temple heavily. Wei Yuan fell to the ground without even making a sound.
I never expected that things would develop in such a strange direction.
No wonder the kind uncle and aunt who gave us a ride earlier told us to be careful of this family. It turned out that they were really such unreasonable scoundrels!
"What are you doing?"
As I said that, I took out my phone and dialed the police number. Now wasn't the time to waste words with them. Neither Wei Yuan nor Si Jiangchen had brought bodyguards with them this time. If something happened in this remote place, it would be too late for anyone to help!
I lowered my head to dial the number. Suddenly, a figure behind me was reflected on the phone screen. He was holding a stick and was about to hit me on the head. I quickly turned my head to avoid it. Unexpectedly, the man grabbed my waist, covered my mouth, and dragged me into the house.
"Damn it, Lao Er, don't be selfish!"
Seeing me being caught, Feng Zhuzi didn't even care about the unconscious Wei Yuan on the ground. He rushed over in a few steps.
