Chapter 118 The Greedy Snake Gets Longer
A truck actually came to the village because Li Muchen finally got a result.
"Go and rest. You are still injured."
Seeing Li Muchen rubbing his temple, Ye Jingyun said with concern.
Since arriving in the county, the two have not had a rest. The people here are not trustworthy and they are short of manpower, so it took some time to communicate and make arrangements.
Fortunately, the brothers were very helpful and traveled all night, finally arriving just before dawn.
After arriving, I didn't have time to rest. I just had a quick breakfast and took a truck to the secret experimental base on the mountain.
"I'm fine. How's the interrogation going over there?"
After calming down, Li Muchen's somewhat tired voice came.
"I don't know what's going on. These agents are very cooperative and actively confessed. They just kept shouting that there was a ghost hitting them and asked us to go investigate."
Ye Jingyun was young, had a good foundation, and was not injured. Despite being tossed around all night, he was still a spirited young man. In addition, the interrogation went smoothly, and his words revealed a sense of energy.
"Don't worry about the rest. After the founding of the country, no spirits are allowed. They are just talking nonsense and confusing people."
Li Muchen heard the same words during the interrogation, but he didn't believe in any monsters or ghosts.
He thought that it was probably a chivalrous man who used some kind of deception. There were many talented people in China, but the people of the Sakura Country were shallow-minded, so they attributed it to ghosts.
They only need to catch the bad guys lurking among the people. As for the rest, as long as they don't commit crimes, normal martial arts exchanges are not within their jurisdiction.
"Liu Yuanyuan seemed to have a mental problem. She kept shouting that Lin Ru was a devil. When she was occasionally lucid, she said that she had poisoned all the water wells in Wangjiatun yesterday. Soon, everyone in the village was gone."
Seeing that Li Muchen was about to leave, Ye Jingyun added.
"Since you are crazy, you take my nonsense seriously."
Li Muchen now has an inexplicable trust in Lin Ru. He feels that if she didn't say something, it definitely didn't happen. She would not joke about the safety of the entire village.
Seeing Li Muchen walk away with the help of others, Ye Jingyun stopped caring about Liu Yuanyuan and turned around to take care of his own things.
Their workload these days is quite heavy. If he does more, Li Muchen can have an easier time. Hehe, it is Li Muchen's blessing to have a good teammate like him.
The people in the village knew nothing about this. Lin Ru, as the only person who knew about it, could not say anything and felt extremely depressed.
For the sake of your life, it is better to keep your achievements and fame hidden.
Lin Ru was trying hard to suppress the desire to talk, and the villagers were trying hard to suppress their anxious desire to join in the fun.
Although we couldn’t run over to see it, it didn’t stop everyone from standing on tiptoe to watch, looking around, and discussing loudly.
"What do you think this truck is doing up the mountain?"
A certain aunt stretched her neck hard to look around, wishing she were two meters taller so she could see what was going on.
"What else can we do? Winter hunting. There are many animals old and young in our mountains."
A certain aunt was going in and out of the team, she was very anxious and didn't want to be late for getting the meat, but she was also very curious about the trucks going up the mountain. She wanted to be the person in the village who got the first-hand information, so that she would definitely be looked up to by everyone in the village.
But after hesitating for a long time, she decided to take the meat. She was afraid that if she really went to watch the fun, she would be scolded to death by the man when she got home. Thinking of the man's mouth, she unconsciously shrank her neck.
"Maybe there's some treasure in the mountains, and they drove the truck to take it away."
A certain aunt shrank her neck, put her hands into her sleeves, and spoke tremblingly.
Lin Ru was listening here and wanted to say, "Auntie, you have revealed the truth, but it's not a treasure, but something that harms people."
When the people around heard this, they started to make a noise. It was very lively for a while. Looking at everyone's sincere smiles from the heart, Lin Ru also laughed happily.
The villagers who had received the meat were running towards the truck in front, under the envious gazes of the crowd behind.
With the first person coming to watch the fun, the others followed closely, carrying the meat, not even bothering to watch the pig-killing dish.
Then, like a gluttonous snake, it ate up the villagers in the team one by one. Its body grew longer and longer, winding its way up the mountain.
"Lin Ru, why haven't you come yet? I want to go too."
Zhao Fang seemed to have ants crawling all over her body. She jumped around and couldn't stand still for even a second. Lin Ruzhen really wanted to hide far away to avoid embarrassment.
She also likes to eat melons, but she is not so impatient. Lin Ru completely forgot that she already knew what melon tasted like, so she was not in a hurry.
Zhao Fang twisted east and west. Others were big snakes, but she was a small snake, just waiting to be eaten and blend in to watch the fun.
Seeing that it was finally her turn, she didn't care what kind of meat it was. She took a quick look, cut a piece at random, and hurriedly caught up with the winding team heading up the mountain.
While walking, she called out to Lin Ru to hurry up. If the mountain road wasn't so difficult to walk on, Zhao Fang would have run up in a flash.
Seeing that everyone had left, Lin Ru saw this as a perfect opportunity to pick up a bargain. After asking the village cadres, she not only took the small piece of meat that was allocated to her, but also bought five pounds of meat, bones, and some internal organs.
The others were amazed at what they saw, and some of the more active aunts were considering how to marry Lin Ru home.
But then he thought of Lin Ru's unique skill in shaping bricks, and he unconsciously touched his bones, shuddered, and silently dismissed the idea.
Eating meat is important, but living with healthy arms and legs is more important.
Lin Ruke doesn't care what others think. If she doesn't buy the meat, she will miss it after it expires.
Having people talk about you behind your back won’t cost you anything, but if you don’t buy something because you’re afraid of being talked about, you will definitely lose out.
Holding the meat in his hand and humming a song, Lin Ru took two steps at a time and soon caught up with Zhao Fang.
"You're finally here. I'm almost there."
Zhao Fangdong followed the team looking around, and when he saw Lin Ru coming, he shouted hurriedly.
"What's the rush?"
Lin Ru walked with great vigor in a few steps and walked over side by side with Zhao Fang.
"What do you think the truck is doing up the mountain?"
Although the truck was about to be seen, Zhao Fang couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
Lin Ru didn't dare to answer, for fear that the truth would spill out as soon as he opened his mouth. He could only respond with a vague "hmm" or two.
Zhao Fang didn't mind this. After all, Lin Ru had always died like this, and she was used to it.
After walking for a while, they were finally almost there. Zhao Fang didn't care how difficult the road was and just took big strides forward. However, his excessive joy turned into tragedy.
