Chapter 2: The Unintentional Person

  Soon, the police arrived. They sealed off the scene immediately and drove us out of the temple. The police took Third Uncle's family to the police station, and I was taken away with Strong Uncle as well.

  After simply asking a few questions, I was released. It was already noon at that time. When I came out of the police station, I happened to hear two policemen talking.

  "That corpse didn't even have a heart, but it was determined to be a natural death!"

  "This isn't strange at all! The heart is where blood vessels gather, but there wasn't a single drop of blood on that person's body!"

  I listened to the conversation between the two policemen and walked past them with a poker face. And that facial expression... Just as I was thinking about it, my phone suddenly rang. I answered the phone and said something had happened in the village.

  After I returned to Huai Shu Village, I saw that the group of people who came yesterday had come again. I had no choice but to grit my teeth and go forward to deal with them.

  "Mr. Huang, I'm afraid there's been some trouble in the village, so it may not be possible to get back to you on your matter as quickly as we'd like." I said seriously, looking at him.

  "My name is Huang Shi Bo." Huang Shi Bo seemed to have not heard what I said and instead looked up at me.

  "So?"

  "The rest is up to you, young man. I'll be back tomorrow." Huang Shi-bo just smiled at me and left a business card on the table before walking away with his entourage.

  As soon as they left Zhang's house, they were surrounded by a group of villagers. Some people directly took the carrying pole and went up, saying that they were avenging Chen San.

  A group of men in suits around Huang Shi quickly formed a protective circle, sandwiching him inside. Moreover, the car parked outside the door was surprisingly not smashed, which is what surprised me the most.

  When I was left alone in Qiang Shu's room, I felt a bit helpless. The villagers outside said that they would arrange people to take turns guarding the ancestral hall tonight and not let outsiders get close!

  I think Huang Shibo won't mind this matter.

  Is Huang Shi-bo trying to probe me? I took a look at his business card, which read "Antique Dealer". I really wanted to give Huang Shi-bo a sarcastic smile. Anyone with brains knows that there are heavyweight things under the ancestral tomb!

  I casually threw away Huang Shi-bo's business card and walked towards the direction of the well with my bucket. Seeing that there was no one by the well, I found it strange. Usually after dinner, everyone likes to chat here, but why is there no one today?

  After fetching water, I went home and boiled it to drink. For some reason, I felt a bit sleepy, looked at the time, it was 2 pm, so I decided to take an afternoon nap.

  When I woke up and pressed the phone to take a look, it was 9 o'clock in the morning. 9 o'clock in the morning? I took out my watch again to confirm the time! It really was 9 o'clock in the morning!

  The village outside was eerily quiet, how could it be so quiet at this time under normal circumstances!

  After I finished washing up, I subconsciously ran to the neighbor's house next door. When the neighbor opened the door, yawning and asked me: "Xiao Lin is you, have you eaten dinner?"

  As soon as I heard this, I immediately realized that something was wrong!

  I let the neighbor go and wake up everyone in the village, then I ran to the ancestral hall alone. When I arrived, I saw three corpses inside the ancestral hall! And that purple face appeared on the offering table again!

  I clearly remember that the police took this thing back to the police station yesterday, how did it appear here again! I didn't have time to take care of my face, and ran towards the depths of Huai Tree Village's ancestral tomb.

  In rural areas, no matter what ancestral tombs or whatever, as long as there is land, others will be buried. I walked through those disorderly and chaotic tomb grounds and arrived under a large locust tree. On the right side of the big locust tree, there was always a mound, and also a wordless monument. However, when I went today, that mound had disappeared, replaced by a thief's cave.

  "Who!" I heard a male voice behind me, turned around and saw two men in suits holding knives towards me.

  I subconsciously wanted to run, but at this time, two men in suits appeared from the bushes on the other side. Now I really am surrounded by enemies front and back.

  "Hey, don't come over here..." I frowned and looked around, but I really didn't know where to run.

  "The boss said before, if someone from the village comes, solve it directly." One of the men in suits seemed to be reminding the others.

  I was so angry when I heard that! Just as I was about to take action, a group of people's voices appeared, and when I looked over, a group of villagers carrying various farm tools were running towards us.

  At this time, I also rushed towards the place where the villagers were without regard for my life. Those men in suits should have known that many people came to see the villagers, and after exchanging a glance among the four of them, they all left.

  I saw no enemies and I also walked away from the big tree. After walking to a place with no one, I took out my mobile phone and made a call.

  "Hello."

  When this familiar female voice sounded, I didn't say a word and directly said: They've arrived.

  "I'll have someone come over right away." The woman said this and then hung up the phone.

  I put away my phone, hiding my emotions, and then returned to the road to Da Huai Tree, running while asking: What happened! Why is someone dead in the temple again?!

  ———————————————————————————————————————

  The thief hole was guarded by the villagers, which also reduced my trouble a bit. Today, all the villagers slept so dead, what's the reason? Even if you want to poison, can't you just go door-to-door to poison them?

  I thought carefully and when my gaze fell on my water bucket, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.

  The water in Huai Shu Village all comes from wells. The only place they can get their hands on is the water here!

  I walked to the well and was about to draw a bucket of water to take a good look. At this moment, the phone in the bag rang.

  "What's wrong?" I asked directly without even looking at who was on the screen.

  "It's me, Young Master! Come and pick me up at the village entrance!" As soon as I heard this voice, I knew who had arrived.

  When I walked to the village entrance, what I saw was a familiar black Jeep. A fashionably dressed man got out of the car and had a smile all over his face.

  "You're finally here." I said indifferently with my hands in my pockets.

  Zhao Feiyu's face was full of smiles. With a smile on his face, he said: Ah, Xiao Lin, it's been many years since we last met...

  I didn't say much to Zhao Feiyu and chose to turn around and leave instead.

  Zhao Feiyu didn't say much when he saw me, and the smile on his face remained unchanged. He walked up to me, put his arm around my neck, and said with a grin: "Hey, we've been together since childhood, after all. If you hadn't chosen to help out, I'm afraid you wouldn't have seen me now, would you?"

  "Less nonsense, let's get things done." With that one sentence, I shut Zhao Feiyu up and we walked quietly towards the old locust tree.

  Zhao Feiyu followed me all the way, speaking kindly to me.

  "Kobayashi, we've known each other for so many years, you won't break off our friendship over such a small matter, will you?"

  "Look, look, it's a good thing I'm in Xi'an. As soon as I knew something happened here, I rushed over right away."

  "I saved your life back then!"

  "By the way, has your back injury healed yet?"

  Zhao Feiyu's voice all the way made me feel very annoyed. I turned around, and Zhao Feiyu also stopped in his tracks immediately, smiling brightly at me with a radiant face.

  "It wasn't because you were going to die that I helped you come here, I just wanted a change of mood. That's all!" I said to Zhao Feiyu with a dark face, word by word.

  Zhao Feiyu suddenly fell silent.

  This is also a blessing in disguise. After Zhao Feiyu calmed down, I continued walking towards the big tamarack tree. When I arrived, it seemed that the villagers had another conflict with those men in suits.

  "This is our Huai Tree Village territory! Don't even think about moving!"

  "There are people under this hole! When the time comes, because of some of your recklessness, the people below will get into trouble. At that time, all of you will be locked up in prison!"

  Sometimes, prison is the best thing to scare rural people.

  After the man in the suit finished speaking, the villagers all quieted down. I smiled indifferently and pushed through the crowd to the front. After saying a sentence to the villagers, I let them go back, and then communicated with the other party.

  The villagers trusted me very much, but there were still many villagers holding hoes standing by. I asked them why they didn't leave, and they said they were afraid that those people would bully me, a university student. After chatting with them, they left with some unease.

  When I faced those men in suits again, my face was as cold as ice.

  "You dare to come back! Earlier I didn't lay a hand on you, let's see if you can still walk out of here alive." One of the men in suits said with a cold smile.

  "It was me who didn't lay a hand on you just now. Get it straight." I raised my head and looked at the man in the suit, a cold smile involuntarily spreading from the corner of my mouth.

  I was just about to take action when Zhao Feiyu had already walked up, with a nonchalant tone saying: If you guys want to live, hurry up and leave. I guarantee I won't break your dog legs.

  "You talk too much." I said, standing aside with my hands in my pockets.

  Zhao Feiyu looked at me with some helplessness and said: "I'm not your father's killer, what are you doing..."

  Zhao Feiyu's words stopped halfway, then he turned his head and continued to scold the group of men in suits.

  I really didn't want to listen to their boasting anymore, so I went forward and fought with that group of men in suits.

  There were a lot of them, and although I quickly took down several people, one man in a suit suddenly plunged his dagger into my heart!

  There was no bleeding from my chest, and I didn't even feel a twinge of pain. I heard Zhao Feiyu calling out anxiously beside me, and I also saw the shock on the face of the man in the suit.

  I didn't say a word, I just threw a punch at the man's face. Apparently he didn't react and fell to the ground. I pulled out my dagger, looked at the spot where my heart was, then casually tossed the dagger onto the ground.

  "Mu... Mu Lin..." Zhao Feiyu was behind me and for a moment didn't know what to say.

  "I've already gotten used to being a scapegoat, what are you still afraid of?" I turned around and said to Zhao Feiyu.
