Chapter 348 [(*^▽^*)]
As Lin Leyou watched, things seemed to be going in the direction Xue Rui had imagined, but something still felt off.
Xue Rui's words do make sense, but his parents will not compromise so easily. However, they cannot object now, since everyone thinks Xue Rui's statement is very reasonable.
It's just that they're going away to stay for two months, it's not like they're never coming home. If these two keep being aggressive, then they'll seem very suspicious.
If you're involved in feudal superstition again, you'll most likely get arrested and taken in for a talk with the police.
Finally, the village chief stepped in and said, "Alright, this is noisy and disorderly. So many people are watching. Aren't you ashamed? Since the child has said so, it's settled then. Do you think you can bring the child back by kidnapping? Besides, this isn't a big deal."
Xue Rui's parents visibly grew anxious, but seeing the police present, they remained silent, seemingly acquiescing. What they would do after the police left was beyond the police's control.
Xue Rui said, "Since you've agreed, I'll stay in the house halfway up the mountain for the next two months."
After saying that, he turned and left without even mentioning the issue of meals to his parents, as if he had a solution of his own.
Seeing that they had all calmed down and the child had left, the police did not stay any longer. "You absolutely must not believe in feudal superstitions, you know?"
“We should respect the child’s thoughts. Since he is afraid and wants to stay outside for two months before coming back, we should respect his thoughts.”
After all, not being superstitious is one thing, but being afraid is another; everyone is afraid.
Under these circumstances, Xue Rui's parents obviously couldn't say anything more. Xue Rui was already gone, and there was no point in them saying anything more.
The farce came to an end, and the villagers who had been watching the commotion dispersed. The police also left, leaving only Xue Rui's parents and the village chief at the doorstep.
There was also Lin Leyou, who was hiding behind a small hill in the distance. Ever since the village chief appeared, he had had an ominous feeling in his heart, and it shouldn't be just a feeling.
This village chief, Qin Fengmian, is definitely up to no good, but...
A mechanical spider silently hid in the vegetable garden next to the house, randomly choosing a plant and hiding under its leaves, so that no one could find it.
After everyone had left, the village chief said to them, "You two are really stupid. There were so many people and police around. Why didn't you just agree first and wait until they were all gone, or bring the child back tonight? Why did you have to go against so many people?"
They were taken aback. "Village chief, you mean..."
As if she had just thought of something, Xue Rui's mother grabbed the village chief's arm. "Village chief, you're the one who taught us this method! Please think of a way to make it work!"
Lin Leyou's eyes widened slightly. Wow, I didn't expect that such a vicious method was taught to them by the village chief. Of course, it wasn't Qin Fengmian, but the village chief from more than ten years ago in the dungeon setting.
The village chief said, "Alright, don't worry, I have a plan. Didn't he want to live in the house halfway up the mountain?"
"Now you have two options. The first option is to let him go home and stay for another twenty days. In another twenty days, we will succeed."
Xue Rui's mother: "What about the second one?"
The village chief said, "Since he wants to live halfway up the mountain, then dig up the bones that were buried before and put them in his house. As long as it's been twenty days, that's fine."
"After all, there's only a short time left until the eighteenth anniversary. Everything that needs to be decided has already been decided. All we need to do is let them have close contact for another twenty days. There's no need for them to stay at home or in this place."
Upon hearing this, Xue Rui's parents immediately relaxed. "In that case, let's go dig Xiao Bao out. This is all for his own good, and Xiao Bao will definitely understand."
Xue Rui's father clearly loved Xiao Bao very much, even though Xiao Bao died a few months after birth.
The reason why she has doted on Xue Rui for so many years is simply because Xiao Bao will need this body in the future.
Now that things have come to this point, the villagers have pretty much figured it out. They used to think Xue Rui was the best kid in the village, but now everyone feels sorry for him.
After saying these words, the village chief left quickly. Lin Leyou did not stay nearby and quietly returned home, taking out his phone to send what he had just heard to Xue Rui.
Xue Rui was currently in a house halfway up the mountain, where he was tidying up some things to make it seem like he really lived there.
Once everyone is gone at night, he will definitely go to Lin Leyou's house to stay. Apart from Zhao Changzhou and the others, no one else knows that he stayed at Lin Leyou's house for the past two days.
So no matter what ideas these two people have, they can't realize them.
Xue Rui said, "Don't worry, Brother Lin, I'll come stay at your place tonight."
Lin Leyou said, "I didn't go far from here. The village chief didn't seem to notice me. It seems that the person who was secretly gathering information was Zhao Changzhou, and Qin Fengmian shouldn't have that ability."
At least his abilities weren't as great as Zhao Changzhou's, and he didn't notice him nearby. Of course, at that distance, he himself couldn't hear any conversation; he could only hear it because of the mechanical spider.
Lin Leyou said, "If you have any problems, remember to contact me and I will help you."
Xue Rui: "Okay, Brother Lin."
To avoid wasting time, Xue Rui's parents secretly took their belongings to the cemetery on the mountain during the day. Fortunately, their Xue family cemetery was in a very secluded place, not next to other families' graves.
One of them acted as lookout while the other dug the grave. They quickly unearthed Xiao Bao's remains, which had been buried just a few days earlier, and rewrapped them in a blanket before placing them in the box they had brought with them.
"Let's go, let's go find him now."
“If we go there like this, we’ll definitely be discovered. Let’s go home first and get some good things, food, drinks and other necessities. When we go there, we can say we’re helping him tidy up his room.”
"Okay, then I'll go home and get my things first."
They rushed back home, gathered all their valuables, and carried them all up the mountainside.
Many people saw them along the way, but the villagers not only didn't think they were being kind to the child, but they also became more certain that the couple wanted to persuade the child to go home.
After returning home, continue living there, and when the time comes, Xiao Bao's soul will return and take over Da Bao's body.
Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine. Over the years, their village has had twins, and children who aren't raised properly are prone to dying young, but no one ever thought of using such a heinous method.
"They've gone up there. Before, they were all shouting for violence, but now they're taking so many good things up the mountain. Do you think they can persuade that child?"
"Definitely not. This child is determined to go back in two months. He should come to me and say that he's an adult now and should go to the city to work. That way, he can be independent and stay away from this family."
"Alright, let's not speculate about what other people are thinking. This child is said to be going to university."
Xue Rui was greeted by his parents, who stood outside the door carrying many things, their faces beaming with smiles, as if they had returned to the moment when he first entered the instance.
"What's up?"
His tone was indifferent, as if nothing had happened.
Xue Rui's mother said, "Oh dear, my good child, we know you can't accept this. Your parents really know they were wrong. You are our best baby!"
"Since you don't want to go home, that's fine. We've thought it through. You can go home whenever you want!"
“This house halfway up the mountain is very simple, there’s nothing there. These are all things your parents gave you. Don’t forget to come home for meals... or we can bring you food.”
Xue Rui's father, "Son, please forgive your father... for what happened before..."
Xue Rui quickly interrupted them, "I know... you still love me, come in."
He said that only because he didn't want to hear them continue talking. Sure enough, when Xue Rui told them to come in, the two of them immediately stopped talking and went into the house happily.
They started tidying up the house right in front of Xue Rui, and soon they had it spotless. They even neatly arranged the things they had brought in the corners and on the table, and even put some food in the kitchen.
Of course, while cleaning, they also found an inconspicuous corner to put the small box, and piled some miscellaneous items on top of it.
While doing these things, she muttered to herself, "I knew you wouldn't tidy up the house. How can you sleep in such a dirty place at night? You even argued with your parents before!"
Xue Rui listened to their conversation, letting them wander around the room and tidy up as they pleased without saying a word. After they finished tidying up, they gave Xue Rui some instructions and then left with a smile.
He got up to see them off, and after returning to the house, he closed the door. His gaze swept over the corner where the special box was placed, where the other party's belongings were neatly arranged.
If he hadn't known beforehand, he really wouldn't have noticed that the couple had left their things there.
He took one of his mechanical spiders, which had followed the couple away, to monitor them. He placed one outside the house and another at the foot of the mountain, near the only path leading to the house.
As for the situation in other parts of the village, that's up to Lin Leyou, since Xue Rui only has three mechanical spiders.
Lin Leyou released a spider at Xue Rui's place, another at Xue Rui's parents' place, another near Zhao Qiang and Zhou Wanwan's house (who had already returned home), and another at the clinic.
The rest of the villagers were monitoring the situation in various parts of the village.
As for Luo Qingzhou, who was arrested, the evil spirit that was found, there shouldn't be any problems with the evil spirit that has been arrested by the police.
Could this evil spirit possibly escape from prison, return to the village, and kill them?
Now, Jingu Village is experiencing a series of... huh?
Zhao Qiang is hitting...
