Volume 1: The Witch's Upper Body Chapter 38: Back to Home
In a seventeen-story office building, a fat middle-aged man sat in the boss's chair, looking gloomily at the two strangely dressed men standing in front of him, both of whom were wearing robes, one black and one white, and their faces were obscured by a wide cloak.
"I've spent a lot of money on you, what are you going to do? Why haven't I heard of that kid's death after all this time?" said the fat middle-aged man in an unkind tone.
The man in the white robe stretched out his hand and stroked his hair, and said softly: "It is inevitable that the subordinates will be a little frizzy, Boss Cao, please rest assured, that kid is not only your target, but also the prey of our haunted house." "If it weren't for his stature and some of the masculine features in his voice, I'm afraid some people would mistake him for a woman.
It turned out that the fat middle-aged man sitting in the boss's chair was Cao Shoucai. He was the mastermind of the Lin family's accident a few days ago, and he was the only one who escaped.
These days, every time he thinks of his son Cao Hui being burned to ashes, his heart is a pang, and he vows to pull out the soul of the person who burned his son!
"How can I trust you again?" Cao Shoucai asked with a gloomy face.
The white-robed man paced two steps, covered his mouth with a smile, and said, "This time, Lao Hei and I will personally take action." ”
Hearing him say this, Cao Shoucai's eyes widened instantly.
"What, Boss Cao is questioning us, questioning the impermanence of black and white?" said the black-robed man in a hoarse voice who had not spoken.
Cao Shoucai hurriedly stood up, he knew very well that these two people were both masters of fame in the middle of the Qi Acceptance Realm, coupled with their unpredictable methods in the haunted house, they were simply incomparable to He Ding before, if they took action in person, no matter how strange that kid was, he would definitely not be able to turn the sky upside down! Thinking of this, Cao Shoucai's eyes flashed with a touch of viciousness.
"Since the two envoys have personally intervened, then I will wait for good news. Cao Shoucai said.
By the time he finished speaking, the two figures were gone, leaving only a gust of wind that blew the papers in his office into the air.
At the high-speed rail station in Anyang City, Chen Peng walked in with his suitcase.
The two-day test has ended, and now it's officially summer vacation, and I'm going back, leaving my hometown for more than half a year!
Humming a little song, Chen Peng's mood was very happy, the main reason was not that with the help of Miss Lin, he successfully completed the test, nor was it the joy of going home, but this morning, the witch told him that he was going to sleep for a few days to warm up the origin, and by the way, he restored the aura consumed by setting fire in Miaojia Village.
It is conceivable that he Chen finally has a few days to live in peace, how can this make him unhappy?
Although his hometown is also in a mountain village, it is not very far from Anyang City, at least much closer than Miao Kongkong's home, and Chen Peng has only been on the high-speed train for less than four hours.
After getting off the high-speed train, there is a bus station next door. After Chen Peng got into the car, he arrived at the entrance of Jiushan Village in about half an hour.
Pulling the suitcase, Chen Peng took a sharp breath of the fresh air of his hometown, and the air was filled with the smell of mountain flowers.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back!" Chen Peng shouted.
Chen Peng's family lives at the entrance of the village, and he is the first family to count from the front to the back, and if there are people in the family, his cry will definitely be heard.
Sure enough, in less than twenty seconds, a middle-aged and older man of medium stature and dark skin opened the door and walked out of it, in fact, he was almost running before opening the door. Regarding this, Chen Peng saw it from a distance through the crack in the big iron door.
The man stood relatively straight, with an ordinary Chinese face, and his eyes, nose and lips were very similar to Chen Peng. This is Chen Peng's father, Chen Tiezhu.
Seeing his son who had been away from home for half a year coming back, Chen Tiezhu's lips moved, but the words he said were not as full of emotion as expected, just talking to people as usual, saying, "Come back, come in." ”
Chen Peng is already used to his father's tone of speech, but this time he didn't meet as soon as he met and the stinky boy was short, which surprised him a little.
Back at home, everything is still so familiar. Chen Peng asked where his mother went, Chen Tiezhu's face was a little strange, but this expression was only fleeting, and he replied: "Your mother and your Aunt Li went to Jiushan to dig medicine." ”
"When did you go?" Chen Peng asked casually. The main thing is to know when my mother will come back, generally if you go in the morning, you will come back around noon, and if you go in the afternoon, you will come back almost in the evening.
Chen Tiezhu poured two bowls of tea and put them on the table, mixed them with cold white to warm up, picked up a bowl and took a sip, and said, "Your mother just went out." ”
Dad's head was white again. This is what I caught out of the corner of my eye when I was drinking tea.
It's more than 12 o'clock at noon, although the sun outside is not scorching, and the temperature is not low, when I think of my mother still digging medicine in the mountains, Chen Peng's heart is a little uncomfortable, it is okay in the past, especially recently I have realized that it is not easy to make money, and Chen Peng has understood a lot of truth in just a few months.
Jiushan Mountain, standing at the door of Chen Peng's house from afar, is a smoky mountain, especially in the morning when the smoke is the most obvious, it is precisely because of this kind of wonder, won the title of Jiushan Wonderland, is a well-known tourist attraction, can attract a lot of tourists every holiday.
The name of Jiushan Village is taken from Jiushan Mountain, and the village is only three or four miles away from Jiushan Mountain.
The mountain is rich in all kinds of Ganoderma lucidum, kudzu vine root, and cordyceps sinensis, so whether it is young or middle-aged or elderly in the village, as long as they stay at home to farm, most of them will go to Jiushan Mountain to dig medicine when the farm is not working. Then sell it to tourists from afar for a few bucks.
Usually, my parents go together, and my father must be at home today because he called and said he would be back today. Mom has always been an idle person. Thinking about it this way, Chen Peng also wanted to go to the mountains to see his mother. Chen Tiezhu stopped him, Jiushan is very big, it is too difficult to find someone on the mountain, it is better to wait for her to come back at night.
Lunch was two side dishes fried by Chen Tiezhu, and after the meal, the father and son chatted about some things in the college in the past six months, most of which were stated by the son, and the father was listening silently.
Of course, Chen Peng omitted the big guy's matter, if he let his father know that there was a witch living in his body, he would not directly scare the old man.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Tiezhu told his son that he was going out to lie down and would not be able to come back until later. Chen Peng stayed at home because he was bored, and he was curious about what his father was doing out, not long after his son came back, the old man ran out, still carrying food in his hand, so Chen Peng secretly followed to find out.
Chen Tiezhu went to the clinic in the village, where Chen Peng frequented when he was a child with a cold and fever.
What did he do at the clinic?
When this question arose, Chen Peng had a bad premonition in his heart at the same time!
The cat followed up with his waist and saw his father handing the food to an old woman with a fat figure, Chen Peng breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the old man came to see Aunt Li, and he thought he was ......
Hey, wait, what's wrong, Aunt Li...... Didn't Aunt Li go up the mountain with her mother to dig for medicine? Why was she in the clinic?
