Chapter 212: Tracing the Roots{1}

Elder Li cleared his throat, he wanted to try to break this embarrassment.

He said: Since the old owner was seriously injured, the internal and external troubles of the villa have gradually become prominent.

From the inside of the villa, everyone is in danger, so many people have secretly run down the mountain to find another way out recently.

Among those who are willing to stay, there are many ambitious people, these people cannot hold back the desire to seize power, and they seem to want to take the place of the young owner at any time.

It is precisely because of the distraction of people within us that you can break into our Thor Villa so easily.

Speaking of this, Elder Li couldn't help but sigh: Although there is some chaos inside the villa, I can barely suppress it.

In fact, what worries me the most is the enemies outside the villa who have coveted us for a long time, as well as the many chaotic forces that are too numerous to mention.

Don't look at the calm in front of you, but I always have a premonition in my heart that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, maybe in the near future....

"Maybe there's going to be a heavy rain in the future, isn't it?"

Before Elder Li finished speaking, Wang Tao actually interjected again at an inopportune time.

Cui Hong rolled her eyes at him angrily, "Why are you everywhere, if you don't interject, no one will treat you as a mute." ”

Xiaomei covered her mouth and snickered, out of breath: "Brother Taozi must be trying to prove that he is not stupid, so he likes to show himself everywhere."

In fact, he didn't know that the more he tried to prove it, the more it would backfire. ”

After listening to her perfect explanation, Xiaobao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Wang Tao stood in place with an embarrassed face, he was about to reach out and pick his nostrils, but Uncle Cheng suddenly said: "Hearing you say so much, why do I suddenly feel that your trip is completely a conspiracy?" ”

Elder Li was rather calm, "You expected it to be right, this incident turned out to be a conspiracy after the fact.

After we retreated from the broken firewood house and returned to the villa, I personally asked people to contact the previous employer, saying that the goods could not be delivered on time and that we should pay compensation.

But who knew that the shopkeeper of the employer was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he was very puzzled and asked what kind of cooperation we had before.

Seeing that he looked puzzled, my subordinates hurriedly handed him the previous order bill.

The shopkeeper put on gold-rimmed glasses and carefully read the bill, before explaining that the seal on it was indeed the seal of their firm.

The seal is real, but this business, to be honest, even he, the big shopkeeper, doesn't know.

Hearing him say this, my subordinates were also stunned on the spot.

As soon as the two sides summed it up, they instantly understood the key, and there must be a third party making trouble in this matter.

The shopkeeper of the comptoir pinched his chin and thought thoughtfully for a while, and then gave us a vague clue.

According to him, a few days ago an old woman suddenly came to their shop who didn't need to be paid.

This old woman is radiant, childish, humorous, neat, and diligent in her work.

The shopkeeper saw that the lady was so capable, so he hired her to take care of the food and provide accommodation every day.

Because the old woman is smiling and kind to people every day, everyone likes her very much.

As soon as this cheerful old lady appeared, the atmosphere in the store gradually became cheerful.

At first, everyone didn't notice anything wrong with the old woman.

But one day at noon, the shopkeeper forgot to bring the golden cigarette stick when he went out, so when he hurried back to the store, he happened to find the old lady standing by his bookcase rummaging for something.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, "Auntie, what are you looking for here?" ”

"Hey! What can I find, I'm here, I'm not wiping the table for you.

After wiping the table, I'll have to cook food for everyone later. ”

The old lady had a brief hint of embarrassment on her face, but she quickly disguised it a little.

The shopkeeper nodded and didn't think much about it, because he was going out to negotiate business with other merchants, so this matter passed like this.

After a long time, the shopkeeper soon found that the old lady always liked to have something to do, and quietly slipped to the table where the contract was placed to rummage for something.

Although he noticed something unusual, the shopkeeper still couldn't understand the old lady's intentions.

It wasn't until such an impostor order happened now that the shopkeeper finally understood the reason.

Speaking of which, this old lady must have been instructed by someone to do such a seemingly outrageous thing.

At this point, Elder Li's subordinates hurriedly said goodbye and left.

"Hey, I've seen too many winds and waves on the rivers and lakes, but I didn't expect to be put on such a scene by others.

Now, I've come to terms with that reality.

But right now, even if I want to break my head, I can't figure out who is deliberately trying to calculate our old owner. ”

After Elder Li finished talking about this, he couldn't help but feel faintly worried about the old owner again.

He had heard others talk about it, saying that once the Gu thing was attached to the host, then it must be immortal.

So judging from this, wouldn't the old owner be more auspicious this time?

Thinking of this, Elder Li couldn't help but burst into tears.

He cried and clutched Uncle Cheng's clothes, saying that Uncle Cheng must find a way to save their old owner's life, otherwise he would have no shame to face the old owner even if he went to the underworld.

Wang Tao couldn't see this kind of crying scene, he comforted Elder Li on the one hand, and made a suggestion on the other hand, saying that it was to quickly let people find out the real culprit behind the scenes and correct the law on the spot.

Cui Hong pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "Look at the lightness you said, since people have made it clear that they want to set up a trap for Thunder God Villa, will it be easy for you to find out where they are?" ”

"Well, that makes sense."

Xiaomei nodded in agreement, and then she was also thinking about something with a blank face.

Xiaobao looked at Uncle Cheng, but Uncle Cheng yawned lazily and said, "What my sister said is very reasonable, the mastermind behind the scenes is definitely not so stupid, so we won't be able to catch his handle for a while."

In fact, our top priority at the moment is to heal the old owner's injuries as soon as possible.

If the old owner returns to the west, I am afraid that this Thunder God Villa will change the sky in the future. ”

As he spoke, Uncle Cheng quickly pulled something out of his waist.

Xiao Bao's eyes were sharp, and he immediately recognized that this thing was the cold and shining dagger that Uncle Cheng carried with him.

Just when everyone was still trying to come to their senses, Uncle Cheng had already grabbed Elder Li's wrist, "Liuyun Sword Technique...."

'Whoosh''

Uncle Cheng smiled dryly, and on the acupoints above and below Elder Li's body, he continued to perform a set of sharp sword techniques.

One knife, two knives, three or four knives, five knives, eight knives, thirty knives....

"Whew! It's finally done. ”

With the completion of a set of knife techniques, Uncle Cheng took the time to wipe the sweat on his forehead.

This thing is strange to say, just after Elder Li was slashed by Uncle Cheng in a circle more than thirty times, he didn't cry out for pain at the first time, but coughed hard inexplicably.

"Ahem, ahem, water! Where is the water? cough cough cough .... I'm going to drink water. ”

Elder Li's face was flushed, he just ran to the table in a panic and picked up the teacup, but before he could drink a sip of white water, he suddenly felt that his throat was unusually dry.

The slight itching pain coming from his throat and eyes stimulated his nerves all the time, causing him to stop drinking water, but he couldn't stop coughing.

It was a bad feeling, and he felt as if something was in his throat that was dead there.

This thing can't come out or swallow, so it's embarrassing.

Elder Li patted his chest and slowed down, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.

However, at this moment, Uncle Cheng suddenly slapped him behind him with his hand: "Bang! ”

After a muffled sound, the teacup clenched in Elder Li's hand fell to the ground and shattered in an instant, and at the same time, he was also pulled forward by inertia and bent forward.

In the midst of the lightning, Elder Li felt a boiling hot current in his throat and eyes, and he rushed out of his mouth with a 'hula' sound: "Uh, uh." ”

Uncle Cheng stepped forward to look at the filth of the place, and he looked around carefully with wide eyes.

When he found that there was a white worm on the ground shaking his body back and forth, he smiled helplessly and bitterly: "I really didn't guess wrong, it seems that you were indeed induced by Gu worms before." ”

When Xiaobao and the others heard the news, they pinched their noses and gathered over instantly, and they were looking at the ground in surprise, but Wang Tao didn't plan to reach out and pinch the Gu worm.

"Damn, Brother Taozi, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Bao grabbed his arm and said urgently: "Brother Taozi, it's okay if you're usually crazy, although this little insect looks inconspicuous this time, it may be highly poisonous."

If you pick it up so recklessly, aren't you afraid that it will poison you alive! ”

Cui Hong and Xiaomei stared at Wang Tao with disgust, and they also shook their heads at Wang Tao, which meant that they also strongly disagreed with him picking up the disgusting Gu worm.

"Hey, hey."

Wang Tao smirked at everyone: "What's there to be afraid of, I'm not curious because I haven't seen it, and besides, there shouldn't be anything big with a worm to see it, right?" ”

"Huh."

After listening to Wang Tao's stupid words, Uncle Cheng couldn't help but tease him: "Hey, I said a long time ago that your kid is a talent, since you are so proud of this worm, why don't you take it back and raise it?" ”

"Okay, okay! That's great! ”

Wang Tao nodded without thinking about it, he saw that Uncle Cheng didn't stop him, so he had the courage to squat on the ground and really planned to reach out to catch the white worm.

"Hey, you brainless stupid fork, I'm really convinced of you."

Uncle Cheng was just teasing him just now, how could he really watch him go to get Gu worms.

So just when Wang Tao was about to touch the insect on the ground, Uncle Cheng kicked him aside directly.

Wang Tao sat on the ground in a daze, he blinked a pair of innocent eyes, and looked back and forth on Uncle Cheng's face: "Uncle! What are you kicking me for, do you want to swallow that little white worm alone? ”
