Liu Pangzi reached out and pulled the woman, who looked ten years younger than him, into his embrace.
"Heh heh, where do those outside women sleep as well as my own wife! Wasn't I just going to the village chief's house? Two catties of pig's head meat, can't I drink a bit more?"
"Village chief, always the village chief. That village chief's wife has had her eye on you for a long time. Don't you go doing anything you shouldn't at her place!"
Liu Pangzi's wife was still scolding, but she still helped Liu Pangzi into the house.
After being thrown onto the bed, Liu Pangzi pulled his wife onto the bed and began a deep conversation...
In the blink of an eye, the sky was already faintly lit.
At the home of Village Chief Lao Tian, there was a young man with a simple and honest appearance, somewhat vacant eyes, and who seemed to have low intelligence. He was only about twenty-three or twenty-four years old.
"Get used to your current appearance. Practice your gaze yourself, and completely bid farewell to your past self!"
Village Chief Lao Tian stood behind Nalan Xing and said coldly.
That's right, this person was Nalan Xing.
It was just that Nalan Xing himself couldn't believe how pathetic he had become!
"My name now is... Tian Geng!"
But soon Nalan Xing adapted to this identity and began to hypnotize himself.
When a person can even deceive themselves, it's not difficult to deceive others!
Three hours later, Li Tianjiao drove his car, bringing Ling Feng, Ji Yunyue, and her sister Li Mei to Qing'ao Village in Beishan Township!
After entering the mountains, the car passed through a winding mountain road.
After passing through a relatively modern town, it became a dirt road.
Yes, Qing'ao Village had not paved any roads!
Cars could not go in here at all, while horse-drawn carriages were faster.
Of course, they had arrived a bit too early.
For this small village in the mountain gully, the people here were just waking up.
Not many people went to the fields to work in the early morning, and even fewer people drove horse-drawn carriages to the town for market days.
It was very quiet here, and the small flowers on the roadside were spotless. One could imagine how few vehicles passed by here every day, and even how few people there were.
"This place is a bit poor."
Li Tianjiao's brows furrowed tightly. He stopped the car by the roadside. This guy was a money-grubber, afraid his car would be stolen, so he spent a long time camouflaging the surroundings.
After confirming that the car could not be easily discovered, he finally gave up!
Li Mei, who was beside him, naturally heard her brother's words and couldn't help but blush slightly. "Yes, it's very poor here because there are no special sights, and it hasn't been developed into a tourist attraction. However, there is a primary school and a middle school in the village! The village chief has made great efforts in education!"
"Village chief?" Li Tianjiao felt a little touched.
In such a backward and poor place, the education was so good, it was truly rare. xxs1
When Li Tianjiao came from the town before, he knew that there was a high school in the town, and it looked quite good.
That was also Li Mei's alma mater.
However, he didn't expect that there would be a primary school and a middle school in such a remote mountain village.
It was truly not easy. The roads were not even paved, so building schools in the village was imaginable how arduous it was.
Ling Feng gazed at the village enveloped by the mountain forest and shook his head slightly. He turned back and signaled Li Tianjiao with his eyes!
Li Tianjiao understood Ling Feng's thoughts.
This place was too secluded, which also explained that it would be easier to hide some things here.
Immediately, Li Tianjiao leaned a few steps closer to Ling Feng. "What's going on? Still no trace?"
"No." Ling Feng's expression was grim. When they set off in the morning, Ling Feng had tried to sense Nalan Xing's presence, but Nalan Xing seemed to have vanished into thin air.
The蛊 worm left on Nalan Xing had also completely died.
Therefore, everything was exactly as Ling Feng had said, with two possible outcomes.
Either the蛊 worm was discovered, and it was forced out and dealt with through a similar method of exchanging blood for life.
Or Nalan Xing was already dead.
However, in Ling Feng's opinion, no matter the method, Nalan Xing was now in grave danger.
"Forget it, since we're here, we have to go in and take a look. No matter what, we have to find out what happened to my sister. I always feel that this village is a bit strange!"
Li Tianjiao still shook his head and called out to Li Mei beside him, "Xiao Mei, let's hurry into the village. We'll take Grandma to the capital today!"
Li Mei quickly nodded, her beautiful eyes also filled with excitement!
Originally, in Li Mei's own life plan, she would wait until she went to college in the capital and earned enough money through part-time work before bringing her grandmother over.
But she definitely couldn't do that in her first year of university, it would take at least a year.
However, now that she had her older brother Li Tianjiao, all of this was within easy reach!
This naturally made Li Mei a little excited.
She was raised by her grandmother, and the only thing she feared now was the saying: "A child wishes to support their parents, but the parents are no longer there!"
She had to take her grandmother to enjoy life while she was still alive, and only then would Li Mei feel that she had not failed her grandmother's kindness!
Ling Feng and Ji Yunyue also entered the village.
However, soon, everyone saw many children running out onto the street, circling around Li Mei and following behind them.
Li Mei distributed the candies she had prepared to them.
This made the children extremely happy.
Then there were the adults in the village. Anyone who saw Li Mei was extremely polite and enthusiastic.
Clearly, as Li Tianjiao had said before, Li Mei was the only university student in the village, and her status in the village was extraordinary.
However, Li Mei only responded to these people with a superficial smile, but deep down, she couldn't feel any closeness to them.
Because only Li Mei knew how much she had endured the disdain of many people in the village when she was young, relying on her grandmother.
From a young age, her grandmother had told Li Mei that only by studying hard was the only way out, and only then would she not be bullied.
Therefore, Li Mei's academic performance had always been good, but the bullying had not changed for more than ten years, from primary school to high school.
It was only after Li Mei was admitted to a university in the capital and received a large scholarship that things began to improve.
It was as if, all of a sudden, everyone in this world had become kind.
The village was too small, and the people in this small world changed their faces too easily.
It was precisely because of this that Li Mei couldn't get close to these people, and even her grandmother told her not to run back to the village often if there was nothing important.
"That adobe house in front is my home. Brother, Grandma is a bit shy around strangers. You, Brother Ling Feng, and Sister Yueyue, wait for me. I'll go and tell Grandma first!"
Li Mei called out and ran towards the adobe house first.
Li Tianjiao naturally listened to his sister.
He stopped and kept his distance, then turned to Ling Feng and asked, "Did you find anything?"
Ling Feng signaled a direction to Li Tianjiao with his eyes.
"Hmm? There's a loudspeaker on that house. Could it be the village chief's house?" Li Tianjiao raised his eyebrows and said.
Ling Feng nodded. "If it's the village chief's house, then it's even more interesting. The precise location I sensed yesterday was in the village chief's house!"
