The journey back was very smooth, and we only spent some time in the cave.
This time, there was no millipede, and Li Banfeng walked out step by step on his own.
Sitting at the foot of the cliff, Li Banfeng felt like his legs were going to fall off his hips, but his cultivation level had indeed improved a lot. Calculated by the time, it was more than three months.
Taking advantage of the rest time, Li Banfeng took a Blue Leaf Pill and a Golden Yuan Pill. When he was almost recovered, he hurried on his journey.
When passing the Blood Tooth Mountain, Li Banfeng still took the path that Linli had taken before. He did not encounter any Blood Tooth monsters on the way. After leaving Sanpan River, Li Banfeng was no longer restricted and ran as fast as he could back to Ligou.
He originally wanted to go to Feng's Grocery Store first to see if Manager Feng could get a pass to Green Water Bay. It was really dangerous to travel around in the new place.
When I arrived at the door of Yu's cloth shop, Yu Nan was standing at the door and said with a happy face, "Seventh Master, you really came."
Li Banfeng stopped at the door of the cloth shop and looked at Yu Nan in surprise: "How did you know I was coming?"
Yu Nan didn't say anything. She pulled Li Banfeng's hand, walked into the shop, entered the backyard, and opened a separate room. An old man with tattered clothes and gray hair and beard sat inside.
Mr. Yao!
He was actually waiting for Li Banfeng at Yu's Cloth Shop.
It was he who knew that Li Banfeng had arrived at Yaowanggou and asked Yu Nan to wait at the door of the cloth shop.
Yu Nan brought the person over and quickly left the room. Mr. Yao took out the wine jar, poured two bowls of wine, and asked Li Banfeng to sit down.
"Young man, this business trip has been hard for you."
Li Banfeng shook his head slightly: "Business is not hard. Delivering medicine is not a difficult job. I just brought the hardship upon myself."
Old Yao laughed and said, "That's not the truth. If you hadn't tried your best to control the insect plague, that old dog Pan Dehai would definitely have continued to pester us.
If he really lets the bugs out, I don't know how many people will die in the whole state of Provo.
I invited you here today to make an agreement with Jiuhulu, because I didn't know if you could get the job done. The contract for Jiuhulu is still in my hands.
Second, I will give you an extra reward. What do you want?"
Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "You have already given me everything I should have given you. I don't have anything to ask for."
"If I say I will give it to you, I must give it to you. Think about it carefully. I will deal with the matter with Hulu first."
The gourd rubbed against Li Banfeng, waiting for Li Banfeng's permission.
Li Banfeng put the gourd on the table.
"Do you need me to step aside?" Li Banfeng was about to stand up, but saw Mr. Yao waving his hand.
"Young man, just sit here. I just want to hear her talk about the pest control process. I won't ask about anything else."
It was Pan Dehai who told Mr. Yao about the process of pest control. Mr. Yao was afraid that Pan Dehai might not tell the truth about some things, so he asked Jiuhulu to verify it again.
Jiuhulu narrated the whole incident in detail. She only talked about the insect extermination and did not mention a word about Suishenju or anything else in it.
After the matter was made clear, Elder Yao sighed softly, "I knew that the poison in this world could not wipe out a species of creatures. In the end, we still have to rely on Lu Huazi's disciples."
After saying that, Old Yao took out a piece of contract and burned it to ashes in front of Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng was somewhat curious about the contract: "Does a contract need to be signed between the magic weapon and its owner?"
Elder Yao shook his head: "Low-level magic weapons don't need it, and high-level magic weapons, if you can control them, don't need a contract.
Hulu has been with me for many years, but I am not sure I can control it, and I don’t trust friendship.”
The contract was destroyed and the gourd returned to Li Banfeng.
As for whether Li Banfeng signed a contract with Jiuhulu, Mr. Yao did not ask and should not interfere.
"Have you thought about the reward? Don't say you don't want it. I hate owing favors the most."
Li Banfeng actually thought of one thing: "I got a silkworm and want to give it to a friend, but I don't know what to prepare."
"Intestine silkworm?" Old Yao frowned. "Isn't this a gift from Pan Dehai?"
Li Banfeng nodded.
Elder Yao gave a bitter smile and said, "This old man is just not good at doing things for others. You are not a food cultivator, and giving this thing to you is obviously to cause trouble for you."
"I want to give him to a food practitioner."
"Are you talking about that fat guy? His cultivation is still at the first level, right?"
Li Banfeng nodded.
Old Yao took out a packet of medicine powder and a wine pot, poured the medicine powder into the pot, and filled it up with wine: "Let the fat man drink this pot of wine first, and then let him eat the silkworm.
Tell that fat guy that if he can’t bear it anymore, come to me and I can get the silkworms out, but he has to figure out how to deal with them himself.”
Can’t bear it anymore?
"Is it because you can't bear the hunger?"
Elder Yao shook his head and said, "It's good for a food cultivator to be hungry. The more he eats, the faster his cultivation will grow. I'm worried that he won't be able to handle it financially. That fat guy isn't very smart, and doesn't look like someone who can make money. In less than a year or two, he'll be bankrupted by eating himself out of money."
Can you eat yourself into poverty?
Li Banfeng took the medicinal wine, drank a few glasses with Mr. Yao, and chatted for a while.
Hearing the ring of the doorbell, Lao Yao stood up, wiped his mouth and said, "I have to go now. There is a car to pick me up. You can accompany the girl from the Yu family to have a meal, drink some wine, and sleep. She misses you a lot."
Li Banfeng answered seriously: "Eating and drinking are fine, but sleeping is not appropriate, right?"
Yao Laoyi said righteously: "Why is it inappropriate? Don't you sleep at night? You can sleep in the same bed with her.
It's so cold, you can keep warm by huddling together, and I'm not asking you to do anything else!"
"That's fine." Li Banfeng agreed.
Old Yao walked outside the cloth shop and got on a rickshaw.
The driver didn't ask the destination or the price, he just drove away.
Yao Lao took out the wine flask, took a big gulp, and asked, "Do you know where I'm going?"
The driver smiled and said, "You've been out for so long, you should go home."
Mr. Yao took another big gulp and said, "Do you know where my home is?"
The driver laughed again: "I know, I'll just go to your doorstep when I have nothing to do."
Gulp gulp!
Old Yao drank the wine in the jug, wiped his mouth, and asked, "Let's discuss it. Can you pull the cart somewhere else?"
The driver shook his head and said, "No, I think your place is great."
Old Yao took out another wine flask, took a sip and said, "I'm tough, you can't outlast me!"
The driver was very optimistic: "I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait. If you keep drinking like this, you might run out of juice someday."
…
Yuezhou Third Hospital.
He Jiaqing lay motionless on the hospital bed.
Dark Star Bureau security agent Zou Guoming stood at the door for a moment, asked about the patient's condition, and left the hospital.
In the security team, he is the most outstanding and most senior detective. Because of his big head and narrow shoulders, his body proportions look a little strange, so the team gave him the nickname "Big Head".
When He Jiaqing first got into trouble, Zou Guoming and two other team members were responsible for monitoring his condition 24 hours a day.
Unexpectedly, He Jiaqing had been in a coma for more than half a year. Datou couldn't stay here to watch him all the time, but he would still come to the hospital to check on him every three or two days.
This was not an order from the bureau, but Datou's intuition. He always felt that there was something else going on behind He Jiaqing.
This trip was not entirely for He Jiaqing. There is a Huahu Park next to Yuezhou Third Hospital, which is one of the most famous parks in Yuezhou.
There was a missing person case in this park recently. The missing person was a female college student named Hu Lishan. She entered the park alone at 11 o'clock at night.
The park’s surveillance footage showed her entering the park, walking in the woods, and dropping her phone, but there was no footage of her leaving the park.
She disappeared in the park, and no one was found, only her abandoned cell phone.
From the information on her mobile phone, we learned that Hu Lishan had suffered a setback in her relationship, which was probably the reason why she came to the park late at night.
Her boyfriend was investigated afterwards, and his emotional affairs were revealed very clearly, but they had no direct connection with the disappearance case.
Cases that have yielded no results will be handed over to the Dark Star Bureau. The Dark Star Bureau is not focused on solving cases. They only need to confirm one thing: whether the case is related to people with special abilities.
Datou was actually not interested in this case. He suspected that Hu Lishan was so depressed that she went straight to Huahu.
But he followed the clues provided by the surveillance and walked around the park, and felt that something was not right.
He could hear some noises, like a woman crying.
He could smell something, something like blood.
Datou is a fifth-level fighter, which is what people in Pro Province often call a martial artist.
Although the perception of warriors is not top-notch, it is still much stronger than that of ordinary people.
He followed the sound and smell all the way to a villa in the park.
The crying sound came from behind the villa. Just as Datou was about to go around the back of the building, a sharp and piercing sound stopped the crying abruptly.
"Please look over here. This house is the landmark of Huahu Park..."
A tour guide is leading a group on a tour.
Big Head glanced at the tour guide and then walked behind the western-style building.
There was nothing behind the building. No more crying was heard, and no smell of blood was heard.
This is the embarrassing thing about the Dark Star Bureau. They cannot do things in a high-profile manner, and are often subject to human intervention in the process of investigating clues.
But Big Head has already determined that there is something wrong with this park.
He found a hotel nearby, booked a room by the hour, rested for half a day, and at ten o'clock that evening, he entered the park again.
Slurp! Slurp!
He soon heard a gasp, like someone sniffling from the cold, or, of course, maybe someone sobbing.
Following the sound of breathing, Datou walked forward and saw the villa again. He smelled a strong smell of blood here, which was much stronger than during the day.
The sound and smell came from behind the building. Datou walked around to the back of the building and saw a woman standing with her back to him.
Every time the woman inhaled, her shoulders shook and her body trembled. She was indeed sobbing.
She was wearing a denim jacket and jeans, and her back looked exactly like the one captured on the surveillance camera by Hu Lishan.
Big Head did not approach rashly. As an experienced agent, he knew that his mission was accomplished since he could see this scene.
He took out his cell phone and called the bureau for support, but after dialing several times, he only heard a short busy tone.
The call couldn't be connected. It wasn't a problem with the bureau, but because his own phone had no signal.
Faced with such an emergency, Datou remained calm.
He took out another mobile phone from his pocket, held it between his teeth, pulled out the antenna, made sure the antenna was pointed correctly, and called the bureau.
This is the satellite phone provided to agents by the Dark Star Agency. It is troublesome to use, but relatively reliable.
The number was dialed for a long time, but there was still no response.
Satellite phone not working?
Big Head was a little nervous.
He saw Hu Lishan walking forward.
Where is she going?
What is her condition now?
Is she still alive?
Big Head was still hesitating whether to follow, but suddenly he found that he had already followed.
His legs did not move, but the distance between him and Hu Lishan did not change, and he was following Hu Lishan.
The surrounding scenery, including the ground beneath my feet and the foreign-style buildings beside me, were slowly receding.
The ground beneath Hu Lishan's feet suddenly began to twist, and waves seemed to be rippling on the hard gravel road.
It was water waves! In front of her, the original wall disappeared and turned into a lake with thick fog.
Hu Lishan walked into the lake, taking Big Head with her.
The cold lake water poured into his pants. Datou struggled hard, but his legs could not move.
Not only the feet, but the arms also began to stiffen rapidly, and the whole body could not move.
Hu Lishan gradually became overwhelmed.
Big Head, with a stiff body, holding a satellite phone, disappeared above the lake with Hu Lishan.
The water waves gradually disappeared and the ground hardened again, as if nothing had happened.
The lake water kept pouring into his mouth and nose. Big Head, who was about to lose consciousness, looked at the dark lake surface and fell into complete darkness.
Just die like that?
Died in a missing person case?
Big Head was unwilling to accept this.
But it was of no avail, as he could not move his hands or feet and was drowned.
Phew~
A hand reached into the ground and pulled the big head out of the ground.
Big Head, covered in lake water and mud, lay on the ground and vomited continuously. Someone stood beside him, watching quietly.
Big Head raised his head and looked at the person next to him.
He Jiaqing!
He Jiaqing who is still lying in the hospital bed during the day?
"How, how is it possible, it's, it's you..."
"You should say thank you first." He Jiaqing smiled, "You just entered the new land,
I didn't expect that there are new places in other states.
Even though you have the fifth level of cultivation, if I hadn't saved you, you would have died.
Do you still want to go in and take a look?
You are a courageous person, I can take you away again."
ps: The character Big Head first appeared in Chapter 5, and only his name appeared.
