He did not dare to look up, and could only pull up his pants and shout in a timid manner: "Who is it?! You are trying to scare your grandpa Sun by pretending to be a ghost. Don't let me catch you, or I will skin you alive!"
Before he could finish his curse, Shen Si suddenly appeared in front of him, only a palm's distance away. Sun Gui was so frightened that he couldn't even shout.
Sun Gui’s new wife was lying on her back and saw Chen Si directly, and now she has fainted.
When Sun Gui saw Shen Si's ghost facing him, blood still gushing out of his neck, he was so scared that he fell to the ground, holding his head and shouting, "You committed suicide by yourself, you can't blame me."
Before he could finish his words, Shen Si grabbed his neck and smashed him against the table, which broke directly, causing Sun Gui to grimace in pain.
Before he could recover, the knife he usually used to kill pigs floated towards him from the kitchen.
With a wave of his hand, Shen Si dropped the knife into Sun Gui's hand, then he grabbed it in mid-air, clenched Sun Gui's fist, raised his hand, and Sun Gui slowly moved the knife towards his neck.
Sun Gui watched the knife getting closer and closer to his neck. He was so scared that tears streamed down his face. He begged for mercy at the top of his lungs, "I will never dare to do it again! I was wrong! Please, spare my life!" Then he shouted at Shen Si, "Grandpa, ancestor."
But Shen Si remained unmoved and still pressed the blade against Sun Gui's neck. A line of blood immediately appeared. Sun Gui could no longer hold on and fainted with convulsions.
Shen Si sneered, patted the butcher on the head hard, and then left.
Gu Lingze was sitting cross-legged in meditation, practicing his mental skills, and felt the ghost of Shen Si appear outside the thatched hut. Perhaps he was afraid of disturbing him, so he did not rush in.
Gu Lingze then put his hands together to form a sword and drew it in front of him. After taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes.
He got out of bed, opened the gate, and said to Shen Si: “Come in.”
Shen Si followed Gu Lingze in. He didn’t have this thatched hut when he was alive, so he didn’t know why he lived here.
Seeing his puzzled expression, Gu Lingze said, "Jin Zilingzi and I lived in this shed before. Have you ever thought that if you die, without kind people to take care of them, the two of them will not survive either."
When Shen Si heard what he said, two lines of blood and tears came out of his eyes.
Seeing him like this, Gu Lingze could only sigh and said, "Don't worry. From the day I woke up, I made up my mind to take care of Jinzi and Lingzi as my biological siblings. I asked them to change their surname to Gu. From now on, as long as I have something to eat, I will never let them starve."
Although Shen Si had only been in contact with him for a day, he could feel that Gu Lingze was a man of his words.
After hearing his words, he immediately knelt down and cried bitterly: "Thank you for your kindness, benefactor. Shen Si is willing to work like a cow or a horse to repay you in the next life!"
Gu Lingze would never ask him to work like a slave in return, after all, he is Jinzi and Lingzi's father.
He only said to Shen Si: "Now that you have avenged yourself and resolved your grievances, you can rest assured and reincarnate. You have suffered a lot of injustice in this life, and you will be reincarnated into a good life in the next life."
Although he said that he wanted Shen Si to take revenge, he couldn't actually let him kill Sun Gui directly.
If he was killed, Shen Si would definitely not be able to be reincarnated and would have to suffer various punishments in hell. After serving his sentence, the best case scenario for his next life would be to be reborn as an animal.
So Gu Lingze asked Shen Si to torture Sun Gui first, but not to kill him, as he had his own way.
In the blink of an eye, it was daybreak.
Sun Gui just opened his eyes and was still conscious. He felt as if his whole body was hit by an ox cart and he groaned in pain.
When he felt the knife in his hand, the horrific memory of last night flooded into his mind all at once, and he was frightened out of his wits.
He got up in a panic and ran towards the headman's house.
The village head and his family had just finished breakfast. Village head Zheng Yangping leaned back in his chair leisurely and took a sip of the hot tea he had brewed.
A series of howling sounds like a pig being slaughtered came from far away in front of the door, which scared him so much that he spat out the tea he had just drunk.
He saw his brother-in-law rushing in with his face covered in bruises and bruises.
"Brother-in-law, save me! Chen Si is here to seek revenge on me!" Sun Gui shouted at the top of his lungs.
Zheng Yangping quickly stood up and gave his wife a look, signaling her to close the door quickly.
He walked up to Sun Gui and slapped him in the face, causing Sun Gui to stagger and fall to the ground.
"You idiot, are you afraid that others don't know what you did? Why are you howling so loudly in the morning?" Zheng Yangping said angrily.
If it weren't for his brother-in-law bringing some meat and silver from time to time, he would not help clean up the mess.
Sun Gui quickly climbed up and hugged his brother-in-law's legs, and said in horror: "Really! Brother-in-law! Look at the wounds on my face and the blood on my neck." Then he raised his head and let his brother-in-law see the wound on his neck.
"It's all Shen Sihai's fault! He came to me last night and almost killed me!" Sun Gui was so scared that he was crying and snotting, looking very disgusting.
Zheng Yangping pulled his legs out of his arms in disdain, and then said, "Didn't I tell you to bury the things? How could he possibly come out to look for you?"
Sun Gui didn't care about his brother-in-law's disdain at this time, and sniffed his nose and said, "I don't know either! After the knife was given to me, I didn't dare to delay for a moment. I went up the mountain to find Shen Si's grave and buried it. I did it completely according to the master's instructions. It has been so long and nothing has happened. Why did you come to me last night!"
Zheng Yangping couldn't figure it out either. He frowned and said, "It seems something went wrong. I'll go ask the master later. But..."
Sun Gui saw him pause and knew what he meant, so he quickly said, "Brother-in-law, my business has been good recently, I will give my sister 20 taels of silver later, as a gift to you."
Zheng Yangping's expression eased when he heard him say that. He said to his wife, "Hurry up and wash your brother, apply medicine and eat something. I will go to the county town to invite a master now."
After saying that, he went to the barn to move the ox cart out and prepared to set off.
Gu Lingze took out the knife that was buried in front of Shen Si’s grave from the secret realm and looked at it thoughtfully.
Last night, he told Shen Si the reason why he couldn't condense his soul before. Gu Lingze knew that this method was definitely not thought up by Sun Gui, and there must be someone behind it.
Gu Lingze narrowed his eyes. Now that Sun Gui was in trouble, he must go for help. It was also time for him to meet this "fellow traveler".
Taoist Wu has been in a very bad mood these past two days. When the Zhen family got into trouble before, he immediately realized that this was an opportunity to make a lot of money.
Since I have a good reputation, the examiner will definitely ask to come to my house. I cannot be too proactive, so that I can appear noble.
As a result, he waited and waited but didn't see anyone. Before he could come to his senses, he went out early this morning and heard that the Zhen family was fine.
Taoist Wu was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. Such a huge income was gone just like that. He would make things miserable if he found out who ruined his good fortune!
