The world worships me as the White Snake Immortal

Chapter 5 Three roads, choose one
On the trail back to the village, Zhou Bai held the teacher in his mouth, and the children followed him closely, telling him about the journey to Laiyang County for the exam.

It can be seen from the child's eyes that he is still very concerned about failing this time.

But his words say just the opposite.

"Master Snake Fairy, after I go back this time, I will never study again. I want to learn farming with my father, take good care of my three-acre land, take good care of my parents, and marry Erniu and have children in the future. I have said that Erniu’s family has a very good relationship with ours. As long as her parents come to propose marriage, Erniu’s parents will definitely agree. If I don’t take the exams to get the honors, I should be old enough to get married in four or five years. Come on, Lord Snake Fairy will come to drink my wedding wine when the time comes!"

The child raised his head and looked at Zhou Bai, who was many times older than him.

Zhou Bai looked down at him and nodded.

"You promised!"

The child excitedly confirmed to Zhou Bai, who nodded again.

When he arrived at the top of the mountain not far from the village, Zhou Bai put the teacher down and then walked swaggering into the depths of the mountain.

He would not enter the village, as that would only increase panic.

The child struggled to carry his husband to the village, not even bothering to pick up his luggage.

The people in the village have been anxiously waiting for their return these days.

The child's father and a few men who were close to him were waiting on the trail outside the village day and night.

However, when the figure they had longed for appeared on the trail, the smiles on everyone's faces instantly froze.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to take the husband over. The child's father bent down and hugged his son, but he felt a layer of blood on his son's body.

He asked tremblingly: "Wen'er, you, what did you and your husband encounter on the road!"

With relatives around, the children's long-suppressed emotions finally dared to burst out openly.

He hugged his father and cried bitterly, but he couldn't say a word.

When his father saw his child like this, his nose became sore and he cried.

Seeing this, everyone had to take them back to the village first. Moreover, the husband's injuries were not serious. After a bumpy journey, he had already started to have a fever. If he was not treated in time, he would die!
Zhou Bai was perched on the top of a certain mountain, watching the children being taken into the village before shaking his body and walking towards Laiyang County.

……

The next morning, Liu Baocai, who had just fallen asleep after a one-night celebration party for his son, was suddenly pulled out of bed.

He was just about to get angry, but found that the person standing in front of him turned out to be the county magistrate.

The anger in his heart dissipated instantly, and Liu Baocai put on a flattering face and said with a smile: "Master, why are you here so early in the morning? I rely on you to help with everything about children's high school. I will give you a special table in my house tonight... …”

"shut up!"

The veins on the county magistrate's forehead popped out and he roared angrily, frightening Liu Baocai to his knees.

But the former was obviously not calm. He pointed at Liu Baocai and cursed angrily: "You mad dog, even if you want to kill people, you don't need to send more than a dozen thugs. Just send them. Why are they all dead on the mountain road? Now this The whole county has become aware of this matter, and it won’t take long for it to reach the ears of the governor, and then I will still bear the blame!”

The county magistrate was originally in a good mood, but when he woke up early in the morning, he was told by his master that a dozen mutilated corpses had appeared inexplicably on the mountain trail leading to Nanshan Village in Laiyang County.

Although his face was no longer distinguishable, the county magistrate knew that he was definitely a thug from Liu Baocai's family.

Even if he asked his master to block the news, he must not let the news spread out of Laiyang County.

But the master told him that the people who found the body were a group of seven or eight woodcutter who went up the mountain to cut firewood.After discovering the body, most of the woodcutter rushed home in panic. At this moment, the matter had caused a stir in the city, and some good-hearted people went to check it out.

Although the county magistrate quickly asked the government officials to drive away the people, it was a foregone conclusion that the matter was leaked, so he came to Liu Baocai's home angrily.

When Liu Baocai heard what the county magistrate said, he was also confused.

Last night he exchanged drinks with several wealthy businessmen in the county, and he still can't wake up.

But he soon reacted, and his hands and feet suddenly became extremely cold.

"You, what did you say, those people are dead!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it meant that he admitted that the person who died on the mountain road was one of his.

The county magistrate wanted to slap the grandson to the floor.

But in the end he held back and waved everyone out, leaving only him and Liu Baocai in the room.

"Tell me, what to do now!"

He looked at Liu Baocai and asked with cold eyes.

Liu Baocai was helpless at this time and could only say in frustration: "It's impossible, how could they die!"

"The yamen servants reported that a wild wolf had attacked them, and all their internal organs were gouged out. They can only be considered unlucky!"

"What about the boy and the old man in Nanshan Village? Are they dead?"

Until now, Liu Baocai is still thinking about destroying the corpse and eradicating traces.

The county magistrate sneered and said: "It would be great if they were dead. The problem is that their bodies were not found. If the state capital comes to inspect, and the two of them block the road and complain, you and I will inevitably lose our heads. The state capital Those adults have eyes above their heads, so don’t even think about insulting them with the smell of copper in your house!”

Seeing that Liu Baocai was really stupid, the county magistrate said bluntly: "I will give you three options now. First, rush to Nanshan Village and kill all the people there before the Lord of the Prefecture comes down. No one will be spared." . Second, I announce that someone cheated in this county exam and the results will be invalid. Third, you go to the state capital to explain yourself, and you can do whatever you want!"

The county magistrate kicked such a big ball into Liu Baocai's arms.

In addition to panic, the latter's eyes were filled with a hint of fierceness.

Obviously, the county magistrate left him only one way.

He worked so hard to get his youngest son's name on the list, so how could he give up so casually?

So his eyes turned cold and he said sternly: "Please give me another chance, sir. No matter how much money I spend this time, I will raze Nanshan Village to the ground!"

"Huh, that's the best. I heard that recently a group of desperadoes came to the county to dig graves. They are all very skilled. You can spend some money to ask them to help. Don't look at them. They are all low-level people who can do better than you. Those crooked melons and cracked jujubes under my command are much better!"

"Yes, yes, I will definitely keep your words in mind!"

Liu Baocai respectfully invited the county magistrate out of his house, and then called the housekeeper to quietly inquire about the group of tomb robbers in the city.

However, what Liu Baocai didn't notice was that there was a palm-sized black mouse lying on the beam while he was plotting with the housekeeper.

The black-haired mouse was also present when he was talking to the county magistrate.

After hearing the conversation between him and the housekeeper, the mouse quickly climbed down the beam, then slipped out of the Liu Mansion and headed straight for the vast mountain!
