C20 (2/2)
That night, I followed him directly into the building. There was no more than ten seconds of difference between the two! In other words, Gu Yan's words from that night contained contradictions! And that black shadow was most likely his disciple!
But why would he lie to me?
Even though Elder Miao and Gu Yan were already excluded, and the only ones who wanted to harm me were the Zhang Clan, I still found a reason to excuse Zhang Shimin.
Moreover, I decided to speak to Zhang Shimin as soon as I got back. If I'm wrong, that's for the best, but if it's what I think it is, I'll take it.
Rather than living in constant fear and fear, he might as well enjoy it! Furthermore, as long as Zhang Shimin is sincere to me, I can let bygones be bygones no matter what Elder Zhang has done.
After dawn, Big Board and I immediately prepared to return home. Although we were very curious about the matters of this village, we also knew that we didn't have the ability to investigate to the bottom of our hearts. Thus, it was best to not interfere in some matters.
Liang Bin said he wanted to go home and visit his parents, so he did not come out with us. Dong Hai also said that the bugs would only move at night, so Big Board and I no longer had to worry about that. We directly headed towards the town from the main road.
On the way, Big Board kept talking about his thoughts, saying that this village was filled with mystery, and that the bluestone path that could stop bugs was like a miracle.
However, he then overturned his own thoughts, saying that the people of this village, could they be the descendants of the guardians of the mausoleum of some important person? He also said that wherever there were towns and villages, they would appear in or near the water source. However, when the village was first established, it chose to appear in the depths of the mountains and forests.
He even said that those groups of strange people were definitely tomb robbers. It was they who had violated the curse of the mausoleum, that caused such strange things to happen.
The more he talks about it, the more I think he's got a point. Otherwise, why would the curse become even worse when they came to a strange person?
They chatted the whole way back to town.
However, when we arrived at that shop, we found that the Audi that was parked on the board had disappeared without a trace! When he saw us return, the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment. Then, he immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.
I was glad to see it. So that's how it is. When I said that the people of a town were all thinking of Fang'er chasing us away, yet he just had to protect us, it was because he took a fancy to their luxurious car!
Originally, the shopkeeper was still acting like a grandson when he saw Big Board walking over angrily. However, when he hung up the phone, he immediately changed to a haughty and aloof expression.
Before the boss could even open his mouth, the owner made a preemptive move. He looked at the boss arrogantly and said, ”Your car has been collected by the government and is now being used by the leaders who come down from the upper echelons. If you have any questions, you can ask that leader! ”
Hearing this, the big board was immediately amused, ”Yo, you can't tell! In such a small place, there are actually hidden dragons and crouching tigers! ”
With that, Big Board took out his cell phone and made a call, ”Hello? Is it Uncle Li from the City Public Security Bureau? Yeah, I'm Xiao Le. I have a situation to react to! ”Tell me, what would happen if the city leader went on a patrol and forcibly requisitioned a private car? With the current rumors, what would happen?”
The tone of the boss was obviously one of schadenfreude. Moreover, he would glance at the owner from time to time as he spoke, causing the owner's face to turn pale.
While Big Board was talking, I saw a uniformed officer walking towards us on the phone. The voice that came out of his phone seemed to be that of Big Board!
