After half the night, and Li Shun's parents had even cried before they arrived, the two old men were both physically and mentally exhausted. Although they were skeptical of what I said, they didn't say anything more.
Wu Shun fainted from fear, but it was not a big deal. He just needed to have a good sleep and he would be fine.
"Ghost! There are so many ghosts!"
The moment Wu Shun opened his eyes, he got up from the brick bed and started shouting.
I opened my eyes and glared at Wu Shun."Can you lower your voice? I was so tired carrying you back last night. Can't you let me sleep a little longer?”
When he heard that I was the one who carried him back, Wu Shun actually pulled me up from the brick bed and asked me excitedly,"Boss, did you save me? Are we still alive? Were you harmed by those ghosts?"
After being tormented by Wu Shun, I couldn't sleep even if I wanted to. I could only explain to him in detail what was going on with the dozen or so human spirits wearing burial clothes. After listening to my explanation, Wu Shun let out a long sigh.
"I see! Boss, why didn't you tell me earlier? I wouldn't have fainted from fear!”
After complaining about me, Wu Shun asked about Li Shunlai's situation, but I didn't say much. I only told him that there would definitely be a result within these two days. At that time, he only needed to follow my instructions.
Wu Shun was originally suspicious of me, but after seeing the ghost last night, he naturally no longer doubted my ability.
Especially after I carried his 180-pound body back from the barren grave last night, Wu Shun had completely acknowledged me.
"Boss, I will do whatever you say in the future! No matter where you go, I will follow you!”The last time Wu Shun said this to me, he said it to get closer to me, so he didn't take it seriously. But this time, when Wu Shun said this to me, I could clearly feel that he was serious.
I smiled and patted Wu Shun's shoulder. I didn't say anything.
Sometimes, the relationship between people was like this. Everything was revealed without words.
If he said too much, it would make him seem pretentious!
After that, Wu Shun and I got up from the bed and went to the kitchen to get some water to wash our faces.
Not long after Wu Shun and I finished washing our faces, Li Shunlai's parents and Wang Fengxi also woke up.
Because they didn't have any nightmares last night, Li Shunlai's parents had a good night's rest recently. The two of them looked much more energetic.
In the rural areas of Northwest China, it is popular to drink tea in pots. First, a small porcelain pot is placed on a special small electric stove to boil water, then the tea leaves are put in to boil. After the tea leaves are boiled, the tea is poured out into the tea cup.
There were rock sugar, wolfberries, and longans in the tea cup. After pouring the tea, it was fragrant, sweet, and delicious.
Under normal circumstances, we would only use this method to entertain the most distinguished guests during the New Year. At this moment, Wu Shun and I became the most distinguished guests in the eyes of the Li family. Just as the old lady of the Li family had just baked the fragrant oil pancakes for us, and the old man of the Li family accompanied Wu Shun and me to sit on the brick bed and drink a few cups of tea, we heard a noisy voice coming from outside the Li family's door. It seemed that someone had come to Li Shun's house.
We looked out of the window and saw several young men walking in from outside.
At the front were Li Shunlai's wife, Wang Fengxi, and a man who was not tall but looked very strong.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Fengxi brought them into Li Shunlai's parents 'room.
"Big Boss, these two are liars. Don't be deceived by them!”
In the rural areas of the Northwest, when people call their father Da Da, Da Da means big uncle. The person who called Li Shunlai's father Da Da and said that Wu Shun and I were liars walked into the room almost at the same time as Wang Fengxi.
This person had a square face and a deep scar on his right cheek, making him look a little ferocious.
I'm guessing that this person is Li Quan, the murderer of Li Shunlai.
As expected, after hearing what the man said, Li Shunlai's father said,""Li Quan, don't talk nonsense. Mr. Little Jiang is a capable person! At least your auntie and I didn't have any nightmares after he summoned her soul last night!”
When Li Shunlai's father said this, Wang Fengxi snorted coldly and said,"Big, I told you guys long ago that your nightmares are psychological! You were tricked by him last night. If you didn't let your imagination run wild before you went to sleep, you definitely wouldn't have nightmares!”
Li Shunlai's father seemed to agree with Wang Fengxi's words. He just looked at Wu Shun and me and didn't say anything else.
"If you still can't recruit him tonight, will our family have to spend money to hire someone more powerful? The Mister Jiang Er you mentioned?”
Why would I need to read the fortune of a person whose fate has long been decided?
When I heard Wang Fengxi's words, Wu Shun wanted to retort, but I shook my head at him and waved my hand, telling him not to say anything.
Wang Fengxi saw that Wu Shun and I didn't say anything, and the expression on his face became even more proud and arrogant.
After a pause, Wang Fengxi asked aggressively,"Are you going to say that you fought with the King of Hell for a long time and finally let the King of Hell snatch the soul that our family stole?”
Wu Shun was a one-track-minded person. He said whatever he thought of. As soon as he said this, the expression of the old man of the Li family immediately changed.
Hearing Wu Shun's words, the young men who came in with Wang Fengxi started to quarrel. They all said that Wu Shun and I were liars. They said that we didn't discuss it before we lied and that we were exposed.
However, I still sat calmly on the brick bed and added some tea into my teacup.
Wu Shun saw that I didn't pay attention to him and was still acting cool, so he urged me,"Boss, say something. You can't let people treat us as liars!”
Wu Shun was urging me, but I picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. At this moment, Li Quan pointed at me and said to Old Master Li,"Big Boss, you don't know! I've heard of Jiang Er during my years in the county. He's a famous liar in the county!”
"What bullsh * t Mr. Jiang Er? Everyone in the county calls him Jiang Er Qiu. Jiang Er is a liar!”
As soon as Li Quan finished speaking, Old Master Li's expression became even uglier.
Li Quan was a hooligan. The young man who spoke should be Li Quan's underling. When Wang Fengxi went out yesterday afternoon, he should have gone to look for him. Li Quan, who had been in the county, seemed to have heard of my father's reputation. It was no wonder that Wang Fengxi had become so calm after coming back. Moreover, there was a hint of disdain in his eyes when he looked at me. Especially after Li Quan's underlings went to the Lu Village to inquire about the situation from house to house, Li Quan and Wang Fengxi naturally treated Wu Shun and I as liars.
As soon as the young man said that, Wu Shun and I were completely confirmed as swindlers. However, I didn't have the slightest awareness of being exposed at this time. Instead, I placed the tea cup on the Kang table with an indifferent expression.
I pretended to be very unhappy. I got off the kang, put on my shoes, and prepared to leave.
Wu Shun didn't understand what I was up to, but since I was leaving, there was no point for him to stay!
So Wu Shun did the same as me, got off the kang and put on his shoes. However, Li Quan and his lackeys didn't have any intention of letting Wu Shun and I leave so easily.
