The road from Li Cunshi's tomb back to Wuwang Village is all mountainous. Fortunately, Old Man Xu took us there before. I can't remember the details, but the general direction is still correct. This time I also prepared a compass. This thing is much better than any navigation positioning device in the mountains. The signal of those high-tech things will be cut off immediately when entering the mountains, and people will be stupid. It is not as reliable as the things left by our ancestors.
According to the direction indicated by the compass, we walked all the way to the west. After walking for more than an hour, we saw the river. This river originated from the alpine meadows in the Heyeping area of the Guancen Mountains. The entire Wuzhai and its surrounding villages and towns rely on this river for water, and even Wuwang Village is no exception. We felt relieved when we saw the river. The river flows through Wuwang Village. As long as we follow the direction of the river, we will definitely be able to return. Our exhausted spirits were lifted after seeing the river. We threw away some unnecessary materials in our schoolbags and followed the direction of the river all the way to Wuwang Village. It was not until seven o'clock the next morning that we finally saw the smoke from the cooking in Wuwang Village from a distance.
Because we are still not sure whether the bastard Xu Lao Han has reported the case, we dare not go back immediately. After a brief discussion, we decided to send Zhou Jing back to check. After all, he is a child and is not easy to attract attention. He is the best candidate. As for the few of us, we simply wait for news here.
Zhou Jing went quickly and came back quickly. He told us that according to his investigation, there were no police in Wuwang Village at the moment, which made me feel relieved - it seems that Xu Lao Han should not have called the police.
At that moment, we packed our luggage and set off for the village. After having a hot farm meal at Sister Han's house at the entrance of the village, we felt better. Then we went to find the old man Xu. When we found him, he was sitting at the entrance of the village smoking a pipe with a leisurely look on his face. We were almost pissed off. This old bastard was so scared when he saw the Thousand-Eyed Tai Sui that he ran away immediately. He was really untrustworthy.
Seeing us come back, the old man Xu was also very surprised. The first thing he said was - "You offended Tai Sui, how can you come back alive?" I was so angry that I almost hit him on the spot, but Li Jiajia and others stopped me.
Although Old Man Xu ran away halfway, he did not call the police. Later, I calmed down and thought about it, so I took some money from the village credit union and gave him the remaining two thousand yuan according to the original agreement. I felt uncomfortable giving this money, but I had to give it. The main reason was to shut up this old man. Don't let this final payment piss him off and make him report us. It was not a good deal for us to end up in a cell because of a dispute over two thousand yuan.
In this way, we sent Old Man Zhao away and took the car from his yard. Because Zhang Bowen was injured, Li Jiajia drove the car and went straight to Wuzhai County Hospital. My body is fine now, but I have consumed too much energy after being possessed by the God of Death. I will be fine after eating well and resting for ten days or half a month. Zhang Bowen is in trouble. He was scratched on the chest by the Green Ghost. Although he was not poisoned by the corpse, our hemostasis and disinfection equipment were very limited at that time. His wounds have begun to get infected after spending these days in the mountains. The five shocking wounds on his chest have all turned black. When I press the surrounding area with my fingers, yellow pus immediately flows out of the wounds. The infection is very serious. If I don't go to the county hospital to deal with it quickly, I will get tetanus.
The medical conditions in Wuzhai County Hospital are actually quite limited. There are no good instruments, and the doctors are not very good. They can treat colds, but they can't treat serious diseases. In the local dialect, it is called "Yellow Bean Doctor", so we just washed Zhang Bowen's wounds in the county hospital and then drove to Taiyuan.
On the way, Zhou Jing was a little worried about me, so he took out the white crocodile armor and told me a fortune. Then he told me that after returning to Taiyuan, I'd better not accept any missions within a month, and don't go far away. It's best to stay at home for shelter, otherwise it's easy to get into trouble, because I killed Tai Sui and was punished by heaven, and then I invited the death god in the four pillars to possess me, which added double bad luck to me. I already have the appearance of bloody bad luck - that is, bloody bad luck for eight lifetimes.
Eight lifetimes of bad luck, this is a fatal face!
It's just that because I overturned Li Cunshi, the ghosts entrenched in the Zhao family mansion in Wuwang Village were grateful that I avenged them, and sang praises for me before entering reincarnation, and formed a good relationship with me. These good causes are now suppressing my eight lifetimes of bad luck, so I haven't had any bad luck, but now these good causes can only suppress my bad luck for three days at most. After three days, if I still walk in some more dangerous situations, I may die at any time!
I believed Zhou Jing's words without a doubt, and I was also scared for a while. I thought that since I received the Baipi Knife in July, I have been running around endlessly. Now I am indeed a little tired, and I should take a break for a while. I decided to wait until I returned to Taiyuan and handed over the task to the Tiandao League. I would not go on any tasks within a month to avoid this eight-life bad luck.
When we arrived in Taiyuan, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, almost nine o'clock. I asked Uncle Li to help me contact a familiar surgeon in the Armed Police Hospital, and then sent Zhang Bowen to the hospital. After arranging hospitalization, I called Qi Nan and told her to classify the tasks she would receive in the next month, and to prioritize them. All urgent tasks should be rejected, and those that can be delayed should be squeezed out, and I will deal with them after a month. Uncle Li probably gave Qi Nan the money I earned from selling my farts, so Qi Nan's attitude towards me as a boss was quite good. He immediately agreed to my order without even asking the reason.
After arranging the things in Taiyuan, I sent Li Jiajia away, and then went to Uncle Li to pick up Heizi. During the time I was on duty, Zhang Jinya had hired a car to send Heizi to me. When I saw Heizi, I was really happy, and then I took it back to my home in Xiaodian District. Because Zhou Jing's grandfather Zhou Shensuan had passed away, Zhou Jing, the homeless little kid, had to go home with me. Fortunately, my house was big enough, so I gave him the room I used to live in, and I lived in my father's old room.
I haven't been home for nearly two months. The house is so dirty now. After arranging Heizi, Zhou Jing and I were about to clean it up, but Hua Mulan came out and snatched the broom from my hand without saying a word, saying that these trivial matters at home would be handed over to her in the future. I was so surprised...
This... the goddess has stepped down from the altar and started to be my housewife?
For a moment, I felt so happy, don't mention it!
After cleaning the house, I went out to buy some vegetables and bought Hua Mulan some modern clothes. In this way, I guess she can go out with me at night in the future. Thinking about these, I felt a sense of satisfaction in my heart. With such a wife, what else can I be dissatisfied with?
I was supposed to cook dinner, but Hua Mulan snatched my spatula and pushed me back to the bedroom. In her words, how can a man just hang around the stove? I was so amused. What era is it now? Why do we still care about that? But after being glared at by my wife, I could only swallow all my words, went back to the bedroom, and then took out my mobile phone to call Qingyi. Soon, the call was connected.
After Longhu Mountain, Qingyi and I hadn't seen each other for a while, so when the call was connected, Qingyi briefly told me about the fate of each member of our original team after we separated.
It turned out that Qingyi had not been on a mission during this period, and was sitting in the Tiandao League headquarters to help me deal with my taking over as the guardian of the entire Shanxi Province. I was moved when I heard it. As for Fatty, it is said that the organization has discovered unusual movements in the northwest, and the ruins of an ancient country in the Western Regions have been excavated, so Fatty, the tomb raider, was sent there to investigate the situation. Rosa also went abroad to continue the task of recovering ancient cultural relics lost overseas. Zhang Jinya also returned to Yingtan, Jiangxi, and continued to make his dirty money.
Thinking about the various experiences in the Qinling Mountains, I was filled with emotion, and then I talked a lot to Qingyi. In fact, it was mainly me talking and Qingyi listening, because he has never been a talkative person. I told him everything I encountered during this mission, and I talked for more than half an hour. After listening quietly, Qingyi said with admiration: "You can finally stand on your own. Keep working hard. You have to carry the banner of the Ge family. Only you can carry it!"
After that, Qingyi was silent for a while, and then said: "Since your test mission has been completed, leave the next thing to me. I will help you deal with the guardians of the entire Shanxi region. You can stay at home and avoid disasters. The eight generations of misfortune are not trivial, so don't be careless!"
I nodded, and then exchanged a few words with Qingyi before hanging up the phone.
At this time, the living room was already filled with fragrance. My stomach started growling as soon as I smelled it. I ran out quickly. I saw that Hua Mulan had already prepared the food and changed into the clothes I bought for her. She became the highlight of the whole room. She had starry eyes, white teeth, and skin as white as snow. I would not change even if I got a celebrity!
When we were eating, Zhou Jing, Hua Mulan and I ate together. Hua Mulan was a ghost spirit, so she could eat all kinds of grains in the world. That was a very good offering for her. Eating it for a long time could increase her Taoism. I also asked about Hua Mulan's recovery of Taoism. The result was not satisfactory. It was less than 10%. Like the last time, it would take at least 20 to 30 Yin bacteria to fully recover her. Yin bacteria were too difficult to find, so I decided that no matter what meal I had in the future, I must eat with her so that her Taoism would always recover.
This meal was with my brothers and my wife. It was the happiest meal I had since my father passed away. Hua Mulan's cooking skills were impeccable. She was definitely not worse than the chefs in high-end restaurants. She was worthy of the title of "skillful cook". Zhou Jing and I almost swept the whole table.
I was eating, and her mouth corners slightly raised, looking at me with a smile.
I think there is probably nothing more reassuring than this in the world...
For the next three days, I was almost immersed in such happiness, but the good times didn't last long. The eight-life misfortune finally came. At this point, I finally knew how terrible this so-called eight-life misfortune was...
