Chapter 18
It was hard to say whether the living dead was the stupid son of that family, but the fact that such a feudal family still existed in the year 420 was really uncomfortable for several people.
Among the few people, it was Lan Yi, who had the most generous character, who snorted first.
“You deserve it.”
Li Ke looked at Lan Yi in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to say such a thing.
Xi Siling understood because Lan Yi had an older sister who grew up with him.
Lan Yi's parents, let alone passing the test, might even find a dog out there that is more responsible than them. In this case, it was his sister, who was five years older than him, who raised him.
But later...
His brows furrowed even more tightly. Although he had a chance to start over, the cruel past was still chasing him.
Can't fail.
I finally got a chance to start over, I absolutely cannot fail.
No one noticed the emotions surging in Xi Siling's heart, thanks to the fact that he had long been accustomed to hiding his true thoughts and emotions.
"It really is what he deserves. If you abuse your children, you should be prepared to be abused by them."
Liuhuaqi's words seemed a bit excessive in the eyes of the world, at least to the driver, they sounded a bit outrageous.
It is wrong to favor sons over daughters, but it seems to be okay to abuse parents.
But before the driver could express his opinion, Liuhuaqi smiled and changed the subject.
"The crematorium should know whether the idiot was stolen or not, right? If it was true, it wouldn't have caused such a fuss until now?"
Liuhuaqi's tone was filled with just the right amount of doubt, and the driver could only regretfully abandon his previous thoughts, then waved his hand in a pretentious manner.
"Hey! Who knows whether this kind of thing is true or not? It's just something people talk about after dinner. Of course, you can't believe it. It's best to listen to it for fun!" Although he said so, the driver still kindly said a few more words, "It's better to believe it than not. You'd better be careful!"
Very good, the last sentence clearly distances himself from the relationship, even though he said it so realistically just now.
As expected of a master, he has some skills whether it is driving or chatting.
After that, they talked about topics of no value, but Xi Siling felt that Liuhuacui's seemingly appropriate response just now seemed to have a hidden meaning.
Judging from the comics, Liu Huaqi's parents are still alive and his family is happy and harmonious. Later, he was harmed by a family conspiracy and became alone. It seems a bit incongruous for him to say such words now.
I feel like there's one more thing that needs attention. Most of Liuhuaqi's families are a little weird.
Not long after, the four of them finally arrived at Louli Village. After Xi Siling paid the money, the driver even said goodbye to them.
"Be safe! Good luck with your sketching!"
Although he talked a lot, the driver was a nice person. Xi Siling smiled and waved his hand.
"It feels... weird."
When he returned to his companions, Xi Siling heard Lan Yi say this to him.
"Why is it strange?"
Lan Yi's intuition has always been very accurate. Well... to describe it in comic language, it's intuitive.
In the past, although Xi Siling said he trusted her, he still had doubts in his heart.
If it happens again, Xi Siling will not raise any questions anymore.
Lan Yi's intuition is damn accurate. If you don't believe it, something bad will happen in the end!
"Look at that corn field. It's already October, but it's not even ripe yet. The fruits haven't even grown yet..."
Lan Yi came from the countryside, so he knew a lot about the sowing and ripening of crops.
Corn matures between August and October, depending on the time of planting. However, it is already mid-October and there is still no fruit, which is very strange.
Li Ke jumped down from the road and observed closely. "Really? It's not that the fruit has been harvested, but there are really no fruits left."
Xi Siling could understand Lan Yi's eyes full of heartache when she saw it.
With so many acres of land and several months of hard work, in the end, nothing was harvested. How can one not be sad?
He patted Lan Yi's shoulder to comfort him, but Lan Yi shook his head.
"Don't worry about me, I'm just wondering if it has something to do with the living dead."
The living dead all have special powers, and the abnormalities they can bring are completely different. It is not impossible.
"Let's go find the village chief first to explain our purpose and ask for details."
After all, this is an exam, and time is an important part of the assessment criteria, so it is better not to waste time.
Lan Yi nodded, "Ake, come up, let's go find the village chief."
"Hey, here I come!"
——
"Old man Li! You bastard! Give my son back to me!"
"Ah - my life is so miserable! Old man Li, you killed my son, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"Son, you died so tragically! Mom will definitely avenge you! Ah——!"
Several people walked towards the village chief's house according to the mission information given by the school, but before they arrived, they heard a woman crying and screaming.
It really matched the story the driver told him. Li Ke went straight behind Xi Siling.
"Ah, I hate this kind of scene the most. I am a human being, you guys go first!"
Xi Siling pulled him out from behind him coldly.
"I? I don't understand. Change your bad habits for me."
Li Ke is Schrödinger's crazy person. Anyone can be that person except him.
He simply wanted to be lazy, especially when he was with his companions, he wished he could just lie down.
Of course, it is also possible that he is indeed afraid of crazy people, but as a person with special powers, he can't even overcome this difficulty?
So, what Xi Siling said was right, it is indeed a bad habit.
Li Ke could only cry and try to hide behind Lan Yi.
"You should hide behind A-Qi. I think Si Ling is right."
Lan Yi also pushed Li Ke out very resolutely, so Li Ke could only look at Liu Huaqi with a look for help.
Liu Huaqi smiled gently, "Sure, Senior Li Ke, please hide behind me."
Hiss—this is much more intimidating than the two people who directly refused.
Calling him "senior" and using the verb "hide" directly shattered the little self-esteem that Li Ke had left.
"Ahem, I'm just kidding. I'm an e-person. No one is more e-person than me!"
The young man Li Ke stood at attention.
In order to avoid becoming a useless senior who had to hide behind his juniors, Li Ke gritted his teeth and walked to the front, praying that the woman would not vent her anger on him.
Liuhuaqi came to Xi Siling's side.
"So what are i-people and e-people?"
Lan Yi looked at Liu Huaqi with surprise, "It's a very popular meme on the Internet. I'm sorry that I have a stereotype. I'll find a meme guide for you."
Only then did he realize that Liu Huaqi rarely touched his cell phone. When everyone was having a meal together, only Liu Huaqi was eating well. The three of them all had a cell phone in their hands.
Xi Siling also discovered this. Lan Yi is the type of person with a calm and steady appearance, but who could have guessed that he is a teenager addicted to the internet?
He even makes short videos and is a well-known cute pet blogger on the Internet.
Li Ke spoke out what Xi Siling was thinking.
"Brother Lan looks like someone who doesn't play with his phone, but seriously, 77, do you really not like playing with your phone?"
The boy was embarrassed for once, and he tried to lightly brush the matter off.
"only..."
But he was a step too slow, and Lan Yi continued to finish off the opponent.
"When we chat normally, only Ah Qi sends voice messages."
"I don't stay up late, I get up very early and exercise at 40, like a healthy elderly person."
Li Ke was the only one who stayed up late in the whole dormitory. Every time he heard the birds singing and the sound of doors opening and closing outside, he knew it was "Wan La"!
Liu Huaqi was completely frozen, but it was Si Ling who helped him out of kindness.
"It's just a personal habit. It's not like there's no voice-to-text converter. Why not use your hands?"
A few people laughed a few times until they were very close to the village chief's house and stopped.
Liuhuaqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't dare to say it, actually...he types very slowly.
One refers to the level of a Zen master.
However, Liuhuacui's psychological burden is actually not that heavy.
Because he knew that even if the seniors knew about it, they would just laugh a few times and then teach him very seriously how to type quickly.
——
"Chen Ling! If you make trouble again, I will call the police!"
"You think I'm afraid of the police! Tell your father to come out! My son's business is not over yet!!!"
Just when Li Ke was about to knock on the door, the door opened first and a man in his twenties or thirties walked out with a ferocious and threatening expression.
But such threats were useless to Shen Ling. In her eyes, those policemen were just there to do nothing. They colluded with old man Li and killed her son.
"Who can you blame for your son's death? If anyone should be blamed, it should be you who didn't keep a close eye on him!"
Seeing the man rolling up his sleeves, Chen Ling sat down on the ground and started rolling around.
"Old man Li's son is beating people up! The village chief's family is beating people up! I am an old woman who has lost her son, and I have pity on me! Oh, God!"
The man's eyes were full of resentment and helplessness. He saw Xi Siling and his group standing not far away. They were obviously outsiders. He looked at Chen Ling and walked over helplessly.
"I'm sorry to show you something ugly, is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Who are you calling ugly, Li Zhiqiang?"
Chen Ling on the ground suddenly became energetic again, but neither Li Zhiqiang nor the four people looked at her.
"We were sent by the Institute of Supernatural Management to investigate the unusual injuries of the villagers here."
Xi Siling expressed the purpose of his visit succinctly and presented a certificate from the Institute of Supernatural Management.
Li Zhiqiang's originally anxious expression suddenly relaxed and he looked very happy.
"Great! I've finally got you guys! Please follow me!"
Several people followed Li Zhiqiang into the yard. Liu Huaqi walked at the end. When he passed by Chen Ling, he sneered.
"If God really exists, you should probably go to hell with your son."
Some kind of gas invisible to the naked eye seemed to spread in the air, transmitting Liu Huachu's words only to the ears of Chen Ling.
The woman's eyes widened as if she had seen something horrible, and she screamed and ran away.
When they turned around, Liu Huaqi pretended that he had done nothing, and looked at Chen Ling who had escaped along with the others.
Although he didn't know why she was crazy again, Li Zhiqiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm really sorry for letting you encounter this."
Xi Siling's gaze slid across Liuhuaqi, and then she shook her head at Li Zhiqiang.
"It's okay, but if it's convenient, can you tell us about it?"
Of course, we still have to listen to the version of the parties involved, because some things always become more and more outrageous as they are spread.
Li Zhiqiang nodded immediately.
"Of course, of course."
