Hearing the voice behind him, Chi Mu turned around in surprise and saw Lin Zhang standing behind him.
When he saw Lin Zhang, Chi Mu's eyes instantly became alert.
After all, Lin Zhang was also a murderer, even cruel enough to chop off his wife's head with a knife.
It was hard for Chi Mu to associate Lin Zhang, who seemed sickly on weekdays, with him.
"Ahem... Ahem, Boss Chi, do you have something to talk to me about? Let's talk inside. It's cold outside and it's raining. Let's go to my house and get you a cup of hot tea."
Lin Zhang forced a smile and spoke weakly. He looked even thinner than in the past few days.
Chi Mu looked at the man and felt very conflicted.
No matter how you look at it, Lin Zhang looks like a scholar, and is much kinder and more polite than other villagers in the village.
How could he be a murderer who killed his wife?
Thinking of this, Chi Mu thought of Lin Miaomiao who lost her mother at such a young age, and he became furious.
If Lin Miaomiao's mother were still alive, how could she let her daughter be bullied by those beasts?
Although Lin Zhang is very good to Miaomiao, due to his physical condition he is unable to take care of Lin Miaomiao in time. Instead, he often needs Lin Miaomiao to take care of him.
This will give the village chief and his beasts an opportunity to take advantage.
Lin Zhang is not a good husband, nor a good father.
Chi Mu clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger.
"Bang!"
He raised his fist and punched Lin Zhang in the face.
Lin Zhang, who was already weak, was caught off guard, and was knocked to the ground by Chi Mu's punch. He sat on the muddy ground with his eyes blurred.
"Ahem, Boss Chi, why did you hit me?!"
Lin Zhang was bleeding from his nose and looked at Chi Mu in confusion.
Surprisingly, his first reaction was not anger.
"Why did I hit you? It was to avenge Miaomiao's mother and to help Miaomiao express her grievances!"
Chi Mu clenched his fists and glared at Lin Zhang.
Feeling a little angry, Chi Mu grabbed Lin Zhang's collar and pulled him up from the ground, raising his fist and preparing to hit him for a second time.
“Wait… ahem, wait, Boss Chi… poof!”
Lin Zhang hurriedly tried to stop Chi Mu, but the next second, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood with a painful expression.
This scared Chi Mu.
"Hey, that punch I just threw wasn't that hard, don't pretend!"
Chi Mu just wanted to teach Lin Zhang a lesson and didn't intend to beat him so badly.
Lin Zhang waved his hands, paused for a few seconds, and said bitterly: "No, it has nothing to do with you, Boss Chi. My illness has reached an irreversible point... Let's not talk about this. Come with me to my backyard first. Miaomiao will see us talking here... Please, Boss Chi, I don't want Miaomiao to know about these things."
Lin Zhang also guessed why Chi Mu came, and he looked at Chi Mu with a pleading face.
Seeing Lin Zhang, who was begging humbly and continuously in front of him, made Chi Mu's anger disappear instantly.
He knew that Lin Zhang's illness meant he wouldn't have long to live... He must be in a lot of pain now.
As the saying goes, the words of a dying man are good.
Besides, Chi Mu really didn't want Lin Miaomiao to see him teaching Lin Zhang a lesson.
"Come on, stop begging me hypocritically... Let's go to your backyard and don't let Miaomiao see us."
Chi Mu grabbed Lin Zhang, fearing that he would pretend to be like this on purpose to win his sympathy and run away.
——"Chi Mu doesn't need to do all this. He just needs to dig out the body of Lin Zhang's wife."
——"Yes, Ivan from Russia didn't do that. He is about to dig out the body and will be able to complete the SS-level clearance mission soon."
——"This time the Chosen One of the Sand Country is almost done with the Ghost Talk mission. It's really not easy!"
——"Chi Mu must have his reasons for doing this, but I also think that Ivan from Maozi Country did a better job and could complete the ghost story mission and leave there earlier."
——"Yes, yes. We don't know when the flood will come back. It's dangerous to stay here for one more second!"
The audience in Dragon Country was very anxious.
Chi Mu could clearly just dig out the body of Lin Zhang’s wife and complete the ghost story mission, so why did he insist on getting entangled with Lin Zhang?
……..
Chi Mu and Lin Zhang came to the backyard, and Lin Zhang was still coughing.
“Ahem…”
Chi Mu noticed that every time Lin Zhang coughed, there was blood on his hands, and it seemed that he was not pretending.
Maybe, Lin Zhang really doesn't have much time left to live.
"Boss Chi, it seems that you already know what happened back then..."
Lin Zhang smiled bitterly and looked at Chi Mu miserably.
Without waiting for Chi Mu to speak, Lin Zhang recalled what happened that year.
"I still remember that day two years ago when it was raining heavily, just like today. At that time I had not yet contracted tuberculosis, and I was not a disabled person like I am now.
However, ever since she and Zhang Ya gave birth to Miaomiao, she has developed a gambling habit.
She often went to the next village to gamble and didn't come back for several days. She would only go home when she lost all her money. I was the only one who took care of Miaomiao, and Zhang Ya didn't care at all.
It was as if Lin Miaomiao was not her daughter.
Until that day, Zhang Ya lost all the family savings. She came back with red eyes and found Miaomiao had a high fever and was unconscious. She had evil thoughts.
Zhang Ya said that Miaomiao had been in poor health since birth, so it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to sell her to human traffickers and get some money to improve their lives.
How could I agree to that in one day? I thought she was crazy. She was completely mad because of losing so much.
I had a big fight with her, and she was about to leave with Miaomiao in her arms, so I took the knife in a hurry…"
