Chapter 107 The Corpse Driver Returns



While thinking, Zhao Youliang launched his final attack on Guo Zhengde, deliberately dropping the "inspection notice" on the ground by accident.

The paper was blown away by the wind and landed right at the feet of the person drinking nearby.

After bending down to pick it up and reading it, the man angrily handed it to the others.

Some men, unafraid of authority, even stood up and read aloud.

After reading it, everyone looked at Guo Zhengde with even more anger.

Isn't this blatant threat and blatant abuse of power for personal gain?!

They deliberately bullied Zhao Youliang, a migrant worker, and Yingchun's wife, a pitiful widow with no support and not even a man!

"Hey Mayor Guo, do you have any shame at all?!"

Zhang, the town's only butcher, slammed his fist on the table and glared angrily at Guo Zhengde and his gang.

"Isn't there an inspection tomorrow? You can inspect me first!"

"If I've done anything wrong, you should change the rules!"

"Damn it, I refuse to believe there's no law anymore! You bunch of people are going to cause all this trouble?!"

Butcher Zhang's words immediately resonated with everyone: firstly, his righteous words stirred up the sense of justice in everyone's hearts;

Secondly, many others had also been bullied by Guo Zhengde and his gang of locals.

Empathy naturally inspires the masses.

Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Guo Zhengde stood up.

After giving Zhao Youliang a venomous look, she turned and left without saying a word.

As soon as Guo Zhengde left, the local residents, led by him, immediately followed suit.

The rest were naturally the town residents who supported Zhao Youliang.

"Hahahaha!" Amidst the laughter of Guo Zhengde and his gang, Sister Yingchun spoke with tears in her eyes.

"Thanks, guys, for speaking up for me and Quantum!"

"Nothing else, it's all on us tonight, no matter how much we eat!"

"If you're not afraid of your wife's wrath, Quantum and I will drink with you all night long!!"

"Alright! You're so generous, sis! Then we won't hold back!" Everyone burst into laughter again, shouting that they would drink the sis into bankruptcy today!

That's what they say, but nobody actually does it.

When everyone had left late at night, Zhao Youliang, who was clearing the tables, was surprised to find that there was money under the plates on each table.

It's more than the normal amount calculated...

The night was spent moved by Zhao Youliang and Sister-in-law Yingchun.

As for completely offending Guo Zhengde... even if you didn't offend him, would he let Zhao Youliang and the other person go?

After breakfast, Zhao Youliang began his routine morning run, still using that same hilarious slogan.

"Holding in a fart will damage your heart, but forcing one when you don't is good exercise!"

"Hey Dog Bro, don't just lie there, let's run together!"

The big yellow dog clearly didn't want to talk to Zhao Youliang, or rather, it thought he was a bit stupid.

He glanced at Zhao Youliang sideways, then disgustedly moved to a slightly farther spot to continue lying down.

The big yellow dog despises Zhao, but some people admire him.

Not long after, the corpse-driver Zhao Hongwei strode over: "Hahaha, Boss Zhao, I'm back!"

Zhao Youliang was taken aback at first, then overjoyed: "Oh dear! Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I could have picked you up at the station!"

"No need to pick me up, it's not far." Zhao Hongwei said as he handed the local specialties he had brought to Zhao Youliang.

"Boss Zhao, we have three experienced soldiers with us this time, just to deal with that golden-armored corpse."

"However... however, the experienced tomb raiders said that even so, they are not confident, so they don't want you to go into the tomb with them."

"Huh?!" Zhao Youliang was secretly shocked upon hearing this: "Hongwei, is the golden-armored corpse really that strange?"

“Yes!” Zhao Hongwei nodded deeply: “I didn’t know either before, I only had a vague understanding.”

"After the veterans told me, I realized how powerful the Golden Armor Corpse was."

"It is said that during the Nian Rebellion in the Xianfeng era of the Qing Dynasty (Note 1), a golden-armored corpse appeared."

"As a result, this beast caused more casualties than the war itself!"

"In the end, many eminent figures from both Buddhism and Taoism sacrificed themselves before they could burn that beast to death with heavenly thunder and fire."

Zhao Youliang seemed to understand Zhao Hongwei's explanation, but not quite.

But there was one thing he understood: the harm caused by a single golden-armored corpse actually exceeded that of a war.

Just as Zhao Youliang was imagining just how ferocious the golden-armored corpse was, Zhao Hongwei had already gotten up to say goodbye.

"Alright, Mr. Zhao, I'm leaving now."

"We came to see you to bring you some local specialties from our area, and also to let you know that we're going down into the tomb ourselves."

"Take care, Mr. Zhao!"

Seeing that he could not keep the corpse driver, Zhao Youliang could only shout.

“Hongwei, when you go to deal with that monster, be sure to call me!”

"Uncle Sun has been so good to me, how could I be a man if I didn't avenge him!"

"Why not cut off those two ounces of flesh, so it won't rub and make a clicking sound when you walk!"

Just as Zhao Youliang was secretly making a tough decision, his phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw it was from Sister Yingchun: "Hey, sister, is something wrong so early?"

On the other end of the phone, Sister Yingchun laughed and scolded, "Something's up, of course something's up!"

"Have you forgotten that our barbecue restaurant moved today? Come over here right now!"

"Little Li and Brother Chen have come to help!!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang suddenly realized:

I've been so busy lately that I've completely forgotten how to handle something so important!

Slapping his forehead hard, Zhao Youliang locked the door of the paper-making shop and quickly ran towards the barbecue stall.

When Zhao Youliang arrived, he found Yingchun's sister-in-law and the others gathered together, staring at the ground.

Xiao Li even smeared soot from the bottom of a pot on his eyelids again.

Out of curiosity, Zhao Youliang quickly stepped forward: "Brother Chen, Sister Chen, what are you looking at?"

Upon hearing Zhao Youliang's voice, the three of them immediately turned around.

"Quantum, you've come at the perfect time! Come and see what this is!"

Upon closer inspection, one could see a large jar that had been smashed, with white substance spilled all over the ground.

Among this pile of white things was a yellow talisman.

The front of the talisman was covered with strange patterns, while the back had a bizarre face painted on it.

"Quantum, do you know what this is?"

Note 1: The Nian Rebellion: The Nian Army was an anti-Qing peasant armed force active in parts of Anhui, Jiangsu, Shandong and Henan provinces north of the Yangtze River, and it was contemporaneous with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The Nian Rebellion lasted for fifteen years, from 1853 to 1868.

“Nian” is a dialect word from northern Huaibei, meaning “a group or gang”.

The Nian Rebellion originated from "Nianzi". Initially, in Anhui and Henan, there were vagrants who would make paper, burn oil, and twist the paper to perform rituals.

There are many fantastical elements in it, which I will tell you about in detail later.
