Chapter 297 Ambush
Old Liu said with an expression that was hard to describe: "This Li Si is not doing his job properly. He steals things from villagers and sells them all day long. He uses the money to gamble. He has been to jail several times, but he still has not changed his bad habits. A few days ago, he almost stole the silver bracelet passed down from Grandma Wang's ancestors. I found him and gave him a good scolding."
Wen Nuan said angrily, "This person must have taken advantage of the zombie rumors to deliberately kill the chickens raised by Grandma Wang. His method is so cruel, it's too much!"
Lao Liu immediately ordered his men, "Go find Li Si."
The subordinate said helplessly: "Except for this Li Si, everyone else in the village has been settled. We looked around but couldn't find him."
Old Liu pondered: "I guess he went to the town to gamble again. Master Shen, do we need to find him and bring him back?"
Chen Wan glanced in the direction of Aishan thoughtfully, and said calmly: "As long as you notify everyone, if he still runs around on his own, then that's his own business."
As an adult, you should pay the price for your actions and choices.
Mrs. Wang sat on the ground and refused to leave no matter what. She cried and accused Li Si of his evil deeds and how hard she had worked over the years.
Shen Wan quickly took out a stack of bills from his bag and handed it over.
"Grandma, this place is no longer safe. Consider this money as the money I used to buy these chicks. They can be used as bait. After the problem is resolved, you can buy some more chicks and ducks to raise."
Everyone looked surprised.
With this money, I can buy lots of chicks and ducklings.
Mrs. Wang wiped her tears and left home with the help of the staff.
Chen Wan ordered Wen Nuan and Shu Lu, "Collect the bodies of the chickens, they will be useful."
"Master Shen." Old Liu came over. "The villagers have been properly resettled, but they are worried that something might happen to their livestock, so they asked us not to harm them."
Shen Wan nodded: "I understand."
For the people in the mountains, these livestock are their source of income.
"Old Liu, prepare some new talisman paper for me."
Old Liu quickly got ready and watched Shen Wan draw dozens of corpse-repelling talismans in one breath.
He immediately understood what she wanted to do and couldn't help feeling touched.
"Distribute these corpse-repelling talismans to colleagues in the Ninth Bureau, and ask them to come over at night disguised as villagers and prepare to catch flying corpses. I have written down the specific matters on a piece of paper, you can take it and let them have a look." Shen Wan handed the things to him.
Old Liu nodded: "Master Shen, we feel much more at ease with you here."
Chen Wan thought about it and told him, "Tell your men not to risk their lives. After all, their lives are their own. No matter what happens, you have to protect yourself first. I'll take care of everything, don't worry."
I'll take care of everything, don't worry.
These words inspired Lao Liu and moved him deeply.
As low-level staff members of the Ninth Bureau, no one has ever cared about their safety, let alone told them to put self-protection first.
Shen Wan didn't hear him speak for a long time. She looked up and saw Lao Liu looking at her with tears in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Old Liu cried excitedly: "Master Shen, you are really a very good master!"
Chen Wan: “?”
Night falls.
The village fell into darkness, with the occasional sounds of birds and insects coming from the surrounding woods.
Wen Nuan and Shu Lu followed Chen Wan to hide in a farmer's house, while the others ambushed in the homes of various villagers, nervously waiting for the zombies to fall into their trap.
In the pitch-black environment, everyone's heart was beating like a drum.
Chen Wan had very good hearing and could hear Wen Nuan and Shu Lu's heartbeats, thump-thump-thump very loudly.
"Are you two nervous?" She smiled.
Wen Nuan whispered, "Master Shen, aren't you afraid? Look at the Ai Mountain across the way. It's dark and looks like a huge mouth in the abyss that can swallow people whole."
Shen Wan glanced out the window, his eyes calm and peaceful.
In her previous life, before she came into contact with metaphysics, she was indeed afraid of the dark.
As soon as she got to a dark place, she couldn't stop shaking and bit her lips with nervousness.
But that was all in the past life.
Darkness was no different to her than day.
A cool breeze blew over, bringing with it the smell of chicken blood spilled on the road.
Shu Lu almost vomited, "Such a strong smell of blood, the zombies will definitely appear if they smell it, right?"
Shen Wan sat on the chair and counted a few times with his fingers.
"The image of conflict?"
She frowned slightly.
Wen Nuan whispered, "Master Shen, what is the sign of conflict? Will we encounter any danger?"
Chen Wan: "Any unexpected interference will break the original harmony. In other words, it's like a Cheng Yaojin shows up halfway. Today's mission of catching flying corpses won't go smoothly."
Shu Lu said angrily, "Could it be that gambling addict Li Si?"
Wen Nuan nodded: "It's possible. Didn't Lao Liu relocate all the villagers to other places for protection? There is only this Li Si!"
"Maybe he'll take advantage of the fact that no one is at home and come in the dark to steal things!"
Before she finished her words, a faint sound of footsteps was heard from the road outside.
Shen Wan smiled and said, "It's really Li Si who is here."
Wen Nuan and Shu Lu immediately leaned over to the window and saw a tall figure in the darkness sneaking towards them with a cell phone flashlight.
Upon closer inspection, it was the gambler Li Si.
Lao Liu’s text message was also sent to Shen Wan.
[Master Shen, Li Si is here. Do you want me to go over and catch him? ]
Chen Wan replied: [No need, just see which house he goes into, and then we can catch him red-handed. ]
Li Si didn't know that there were people hiding in every household. When he saw that every household had turned off the lights, and thought about what the staff had said during the day about zombies, he couldn't help but feel secretly proud.
"Zombies? What era is this? There are no zombies. If you don't know, you might think it's a zombie movie!"
"Damn it! My luck has been incredibly bad these past few days. Even if there are zombies, I will tear them to pieces!"
Li Si cursed and complained, his eyes fixed on the family where Shen Wan and the others were hiding.
This family is the richest in the village and has a large yard. In order to lure the zombies in and catch them, Shen Wan made preparations in advance.
Li Si walked towards this side and saw two dead chickens hanging at the door. He frowned and spat violently.
"Bah! What the hell, hanging a chicken outside your house can really scare off zombies?"
Wen Nuan whispered to Shen Wan: "Master Shen, isn't the chicken a bird of five virtues, with the energy of sunshine, and can it ward off evil spirits? If we sprinkle chicken blood on the road and hang a dead chicken at the door, can it really attract zombies?"
Chen Wan said calmly, "It's true that chickens are birds of five virtues, and their calls can also cause zombies to be wary, but we are not trying to catch ordinary zombies, but flying zombies. Dead chickens are no longer a threat to them. It's true that their blood can attract them."
Bang!
As he was speaking, Li Si kicked the door open and walked in with a swagger.
