Chapter 761: Love Is a Second Degenerate (23)
Everyone knows that Mr. Zhao has died. How could he appear in this dark house? Is he a human or a ghost?
Wang Qing's scalp was numb and goosebumps appeared all over his body.
He was timid and was most afraid of ghosts and the like. In his impression, Mr. Zhao should be a kind and amiable person. However, even though Mr. Zhao still had a smile on his face, he felt creepy.
Can a person really change so much?
Wang Qing said in disbelief: "Mr. Zhao, you are not dead!"
Mr. Zhao put down the tools in his hands. His health was indeed not very good. In addition, he had been busy working for a while, and now his back was getting more and more unsteady.
He coughed twice and said kindly: "Wang Qing, I have always liked you as a student. I have said before that you are the most suitable for academic research among all the students I have taught, because you don't know how to read the atmosphere, how to handle interpersonal relationships, and don't know what to say and what not to say."
This was the first time that Wang Qing knew that the teacher whom he regarded as a role model was so hypocritical when he smiled and spoke. , he was puzzled, "Why?"
Teacher Zhao sighed, "Originally, if you had not come to Zhaojiawan, or if you had left here earlier, you would have been fine, but you stayed until now, and heard things you shouldn't have heard, and said things you shouldn't have said."
No matter how stupid Wang Qing was, he understood one thing, he was tied up here because he heard Zhao Shi quarreling with his father last night.
Teacher Zhao's pretending to be dead was obviously his plan. He made everyone around him think he was dead, and made everyone think that there was really some evil spirit causing trouble, but Wang Qing wanted to get entangled in the conversation between Zhao Shi and Teacher Zhao at night.
Wang Qing also said this matter carelessly. If other people in the village knew about it, I am afraid that Teacher Zhao pretending to be dead would arouse other people's suspicion.
Since Teacher Zhao didn't hesitate to pretend to be dead, it can be seen that the things he was planning behind the scenes were particularly important to him, and he would never allow anyone to ruin his plan.
So even if his son died for unknown reasons, he didn't show up.
What's more, now it's just a student being sacrificed?
Wang Qing has always been law-abiding. He doesn't do bad things, but it doesn't mean that other people can have the same high sense of morality as him. He knows that his situation is not good, but even if he dies, he must die knowingly!
"You are not dead, but everyone thinks you are dead. What on earth do you want to do?"
Wang Qing's death was a foregone conclusion, and Teacher Zhao certainly didn't mind making it clear, "If you live to my age, with status, money and reputation, what else would you want?"
Wang Qing couldn't answer because in his mind, it was enough for a person to have these things.
Teacher Zhao laughed: "You are still young and have never been in my position, so of course you don't understand."
Teacher Zhao's cloudy eyes gradually became sharp because of desire, "I have status, money and reputation, but I don't have the life to enjoy them. Don't you think that God is playing a trick on me?"
He worked hard all his life and finally got to retire and enjoy life. However, God played a joke on him. He was diagnosed with cancer. Even more unfortunately, the cancer was in the late stage and he only had three months left to live. He was
naturally unwilling to accept it.
Walking on the road, seeing those sanitation workers who were not as good as him in status and knowledge could live healthily until their hair turned white, the sense of imbalance in his heart surged more and more.
Yes, he would have made a greater contribution to society if he were alive, so why not let him live?
Even though he had been influenced by books for many years and seemed to have developed a noble character, he gradually distorted his principles in the face of life and death. There
has always been a legend in Zhaojiawan. It is said that in the fire that year, the theater collapsed and many people died in the fire, including the military commanders who came to watch the theater. A large number of treasures belonging to the military commanders were buried underground.
However, many people wanted to find the theater, but they couldn't find it, as if the destroyed theater did not exist.
But in the mouth of the old man, the theater did exist many years ago. This theater is so mysterious, maybe there are really treasures buried there.
This is why the people of Zhaojiawan are reluctant to move away even though they know that the place is backward after so many years. Generation after generation, they have been expecting to find the treasures and don’t want to let others get them after they move away.
Hearing that the treasures are buried underground, they naturally don’t want the government to come into the village to start construction to improve any infrastructure. What if the treasures underground are discovered by those people?
They will definitely have to hand them over to the country.
Teacher Zhao is not short of money, and all he did was not for those treasures. What he wanted was that mysterious power.
He wanted to live and live forever. Anyone can die in this world, but he must not be absent.
But so many people are eyeing the treasures, he must find a way to conceal his true purpose.
So he "died of illness".
Actually, faking death is very simple. If someone dies in the village, they are directly put in the coffin. There is no need for the hospital to issue a death certificate. His two children said that they saw him enter the coffin, and other people naturally would not think much about it.
During the days of the funeral, Teacher Zhao hid in a secluded place, watching a group of people participating in a funeral without a dead person.
To his surprise, Wang Qing came. He came and that was it, but he even notified Bai Yao.
But at that time, Teacher Zhao also thought that it was not a big problem. Whether it was the "blood tears" on the portrait or the crows that died on the coffin cover when buried, these were all the results of the Zhao family's careful design, in order to prove that the evil spirit was causing chaos.
But they didn’t expect that there would be so many crows on the way down the mountain. It was really weird.
What they didn’t expect was the death of Zhao Si.
The only son died suddenly, and Teacher Zhao was of course heartbroken. Zhao Shi realized that something was wrong and was scared. She thought that there was really an evil spirit causing trouble. She begged her father to stop, but Teacher Zhao had come to this point and it was impossible to turn back. So the father and daughter had a quarrel, and this movement happened to be heard by Wang Qing.
So, Wang Qing is now tied here.
