    Zhao Dong's appearance suddenly suppressed the surrounding villagers' remarks, his eyes swept over Wen Liang's face, and then looked at the old couple Jiang who had turned into a dead body behind him.

    "I heard that something happened in the cemetery this morning. Could it be you who did it?" Zhao Dong waved his hand, and the masked young man beside him rushed towards the old couple. Seeing the limp and boneless arms approaching, The old Jiang who had already turned into a corpse stood in front of Jiang, and he seemed very angry.

    What came out of the throat was no longer a human voice, but a "click" sound similar to being strangled by the neck. The mouth on that somewhat shaped face opened and closed wide, as if ready to swallow the attacker into the stomach at any time.

    "Mr. Zhao, isn't it too inappropriate to kill an old couple who are also villagers in front of your fathers and villagers?"

    Wen Liang didn't give Zhao Dong any face, before the masked young man could pounce on him, he dodged to the side and dragged the old couple Jiang by the opportunity to prevent them from being attacked so hard just now.

    "Villagers? Are they the couple who guarded the tomb of Jiang's family?" Zhao Dong pretended to have an epiphany, as if he didn't know this at all. He waved his hand to let the masked youth back down, and asked, "Yesterday you spent the night in the cemetery." ? Lao Jiang died a few days ago, what happened last night?"

    For a good one pretending to be confused, Wen Liang looked at Zhao Dong's face full of concern, and pointed to Zhao Guangsheng aside, "I'm afraid the cemetery is all because of him."

    Zhao Dong's face changed when he heard the words, and the surrounding villagers were all looking at him. This place is not far from Zhao's house, and Zhao Dong would naturally not agree to being laughed at by the villagers in front of the door.

    "Let's leave, everyone. These are my friends." With that approachable and false smile on his face again, Zhao Dong signaled his subordinates to start cleaning up irrelevant villagers at the scene.

    They were attacked for no reason, and they were forcibly driven away without being resolved. This made some villagers a little dissatisfied, but it was Zhao Dong, the head of the five major families, who had no choice but to speak, and they had to leave with a bellyful of anger.

    "We're all at the door, why don't you come to my house and talk in detail?" Zhao Dong knew that his smiling face was useless to Wen Liang, but he still greeted him with a smiling face. The masked youths who followed him surrounded the three of them, It is gradually reducing the distance of the encirclement circle.

    "It's a good one, please come to the door." Wen Liang shrugged his shoulders without pricking him. He walked up to Xie Jin and Ji Duan, and pointed at the old couple Jiang who didn't attack them despite their fierce faces, "It's not impossible to go, but we If you want to bring the two of them with you, it is said that Mr. Zhao is in charge of the village, and he has to resolve the grievances of the old couple, right?"

    Looking at the two people who had almost no human appearance, Zhao Dong obviously showed unwillingness, "You asked me to bring two dead people home, do you know how unlucky it is? And if they go crazy What about attacking people, can you take full responsibility?"

    "He died for no apparent reason, so naturally there is resentment in his heart, Mr. Zhao, why don't you be more considerate?" Wen Liang grinned, deliberately mocking Zhao Dong's previous actions, "When you threw Lao Jiangtou's body in front of us, That's not the attitude."

    Zhao Dong was speechless, looking at the corpses of the old couple standing beside the three of them who had turned into strange corpses, he could only compromise and agree to this request, "But if they hurt the villagers, I will deal with them immediately. Explain to me exactly how they got out of that cemetery."

    "That's natural. We are all honest people. Naturally, we can't see such things as hurting the innocent happening in front of our eyes." Wen Liang put his right index finger in his mouth, bit it without changing his face, went around and used his own blood on the old man. What was written on the two backs.

    "What did you do?" Zhao Dong frowned and asked Wen Liang, "What did you do to them?"

    "It's just a small corpse talisman, Xie Jin, do you have any extra paper?" Wen Liang asked Xie Jin for some tissues, and seeing Zhao Dong's surprised face, he "kindly" explained to him.

    "There are spells drawn with my blood on them, which can restrain their instincts to a certain extent during this period, but if something happens to me, this corpse-suppressing charm will backfire, and the resentment that is several times stronger than before may make them go berserk, too. For your own sake, I advise you not to think anything wrong."

    Wen Liang walked between Xie Jin and Ji Duan, stretched his arms around their shoulders one by one, deliberately raised the volume, "Let's go, it seems that we are going to revisit the old place again, right?"

    The surrounding villagers were almost wiped out by the Zhao family. Wen Liang used the cover of the two of them to look around for Li Yougui, but found nothing after searching for a long time.

    After realizing who Wen Liang was looking for, Xie Jin took advantage of Zhao's family not paying attention, and whispered in his ear: "Li Yougui pretended to be a woman with a white turban, although I don't know if he is still the same as before."

    Wen Liang raised his eyebrows, and after making sure that there was no such character around, he secretly patted the shoulders of the two of them, signaling them to ignore Li Yougui for now.

    The square where the five immortals commemorative stele was placed was no more than a kilometer away from the Zhao family compound, and the three of them followed the Zhao family into the mansion again under the watchful eyes of everyone.

    It wasn't until he followed into the building that Xie Jin came to realize that although the current situation was different from their original plan, the goal had indeed been achieved.

    He turned his face to look at Wen Liang's back. In fact, at the beginning, Wen Liang didn't intend to let the two of them show off in front of the villagers. He also saw the attitude of the villagers just now. If the three of them don't cooperate well, even if there is only one mistake will backfire.

    But it’s different to recruit Zhao Dong, who has made a lot of noise and has a lot of weight in his words. He wants to expose what happened in the cemetery last night and induce Zhao Dong to say the words that are enough to convince most people. This is much safer than the first plan. .

    Subconsciously shivering, Xie Jin looked at the back of Wen Liang's head and felt that even if he and Ji Duan were added together, it might not be enough for half of Wen Liang's concerns.

    "What's the matter?" Wen Liang looked back at Xie Jin as if he noticed his gaze. He didn't know that his status in Xie Jin's heart had soared to the level of a god teammate. The phone in the trouser pocket vibrated.

    He didn't choose to take it out to see it at the first time, Wen Liang pretended to be okay and continued to walk forward. The person who can still send text messages at this time should most likely be Li Yougui.

    "I came here urgently today, and I didn't order my family to prepare meals. Just follow me to the tea room, mainly for the sake of talking." Zhao Dong's tone sounded polite, but some of his subtle movements showed that he did not welcome them. Revisit.

    The three of them didn't tell the truth, even though they knew that the old man was extremely upset seeing them because of the disturbance at Zhao's house the day before yesterday, they still acted as if they couldn't see them, and followed Zhao Dong into the so-called tea room.

    They didn't finish walking through this large building that day. The tea room that Zhao Dongkou mentioned was built in a room near the garden on the remote side.

    The tea room is very quiet, the semi-outdoor windows without glass are covered with vines, and it is located at the northernmost end, the sunlight cannot penetrate in at all, so when Xie Jin walked in here, there was a scene behind him from nowhere. A layer of white sweat.

    An indescribable feeling lingered in his chest. Obviously this room was normal, and even the tea sets and decorations could be called excellent, but there was just a strange feeling that made him feel apprehensive from the bottom of his heart.

    "You can sit as you like, Guangsheng, come with me." Zhao Dong brought them into the tea room and called Zhao Guangsheng out. Xie Jin sat down next to Ji Duan and began to carefully look at the tea room, which was bigger than his house.

    The tea tables and chairs made of sunken wood are almost negligible. There are some dusty books on the side shelves, and a snake-shaped sculpture carved from jade is placed on the top shelf. This snake sculpture has perfect carving skills. , Even the details of the scales on the snake's body are carved out, which looks lifelike.

    Xie Jin didn't dare to meet his eyes. The stone snake's eyes are decorated with some kind of gemstones, and it always seems to have a sense of being spied on.

    There is nothing worthy of attention in other parts of the tea room, but all the vents are entwined with plants, which especially makes Xie Jin vigilant.

    These vines are yin, and don't know if it's an illusion. This elegant-looking tea room always gives him a gloo feeling.

    "What's wrong?" Ji Duan squeezed Xie Jin's hand, as if sensing his uneasiness, asked in a deep voice, "Does this place make you uncomfortable?"

    "Well... it's the same feeling as in the snake cave, maybe even more obvious than there." Xie Jin still remembers the body senses when he first came to Zhao's house, in the cold and damp corridor lit only by torches, staying here Make him obviously uncomfortable, so no matter what happens next, be more cautious.

    Looking at Wen Liang who was sitting on the outermost side, Xie Jin found that he was checking his phone. He was not far from Wen Liang, so he also heard the vibration. It might be a message from Li Yougui.

    "Did something happen?" Xie Jin looked at Wen Liang without speaking, as if he was chewing over what he had just received, and asked in a low voice, "Did he send it?"

    "Yes."

    Wen Liang frowned, and handed the phone to the two of them, "I just got He Nian's whereabouts from him, although he couldn't tell the truth about the information, you can see for yourself."

    Turning on the screen of the mobile phone that was about to go out, Xie Jin and Ji Duan got together and looked at the content of the text message sent by Li Yougui.

    "A few days after He Nian disappeared in Badong Village, I got an uncertain message from an old farmer who supplied vegetables to Zhao's family. He said that he had seen He Nian at Zhao's family when delivering vegetables yesterday."

    "I checked several times, but he was vague and couldn't give me the exact location, but he did mention that he had seen He Nian at Zhao's house, and the mute is still very recognizable in our village."

    Wen Liang: That old thief Zhao Dong wants to play with me in Chengfu hehe

    Ji Duan: ... have to say that this guy is indeed a scheming old boy

    Xie Jin: (dumbfounded)
