Chapter 317 Going to see Wu Yao

Mo Li was mostly unharmed, except that she was knocked unconscious and had a large bump on her head.

After Wen Luozhi finished applying the medicine, Lang Batian carried him quietly back to the house.

Fortunately, it was far away, and the noise from the mountainside couldn't be heard from below.

"Ah! There's a ghost! There's a ghost!" The next morning, Huang Cuihua's screams echoed throughout the village.

She sat on the ground, trembling all over, and the people who were working in the fields rushed over when they heard the noise.

Everyone was shocked by the scene at the village entrance: many dead bodies were laid out there!

They were still covered in mud, indicating that they had been buried recently.

The village chief arrived upon hearing the news and frowned deeply upon seeing the corpse lying on the ground.

It's really bad luck and unlucky for something like this to happen in the village so early in the morning!

"Hey! Honey! Look at that guy in black, isn't that Erdanzi from Sanlitun?"

An older woman squinted at a corpse lying on the ground. The man whose sleeve she was tugging at looked closer and exclaimed, "Hey!"

"Didn't we hear yesterday that the graves were dug up?! How come they've come to our village?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. The village chief quickly urged the others to come forward and see if they recognized the things on the ground. "Look at them!"

"Do you recognize any of the others?"

The villagers mustered their courage and stepped forward, and they actually recognized half of it.

"Afu, take two men and report to the authorities! The rest of you, go and notify the people from the surrounding villages to come here!"

The village chief calmly made the arrangements, and Zou Ersheng arrived with his men more than half an hour later.

Shanquan Village was surrounded, and villagers from several villages gathered at the village entrance.

The village chief ordered someone to lift the white cloth, took the megaphone handed to him by Wen Luozhi, and said, "We've heard rumors these past few days about someone stealing corpses! Strange things happened in our village this morning!"

"Everyone, take a look at the dead person on the ground and see if you recognize them!"

After he finished speaking, he led his men to make way, and the villagers from other villages kept their distance to look at the corpses under the white sheet, where only their faces were visible.

"Ah! My son!" A loud cry erupted from the crowd as an older woman pushed aside a man a head shorter than her and rushed to a corpse.

"My son! What are you doing here? Your mother has been looking for you for so long!"

The woman who was wailing over the corpse was from the neighboring Zhangjia Village. She had lost her husband years ago and was living with her son.

Not long ago, my son fell seriously ill and there was no cure. So, I, a parent, had to bury my child.

She missed her son so much that she would go to his grave every day.

Two days ago, I discovered that my son's grave had been dug up, and his body had disappeared.

She reported it to the authorities, only saying that it might have been dug up and eaten by wild dogs.

The woman didn't believe it and searched for two days but still couldn't find it.

She was holding the body and crying her heart out. The other bodies were also recognized by acquaintances.

Some of the bodies were damaged, likely from the fight last night.

The heavy, sorrowful atmosphere was extremely oppressive. Wen Luozhi felt bad and looked to Xian Nian for help.

Xiannian understood and stepped forward, saying "Amitabha."

"This humble monk requests to chant sutras for three days in memory of our deceased benefactors, wishing them an early ascension to the Pure Land."

The villagers expressed their gratitude, and after consulting with the villagers, the village chief set up the ritual at the village entrance, which would also help to ward off bad luck.

Zou Ersheng and his men searched for a whole day but found nothing amiss, except for the grave pits that Wu Yao had dug out.

"Maybe someone has a peculiar quirk and did this to scare people," Wen Luozhi said as she helped the person onto the horse.

Fortunately, she and her team cleaned up the mountain yesterday, otherwise things wouldn't have ended so smoothly today.

The matter here is now settled, but Wen Ziming is absolutely furious about the new house.

"I wonder which bastard went up the mountain to pick fruit to eat!"

"They pick them but don't eat them all, what a waste!"

He glared angrily at the basket in front of him, which contained bits and pieces of fruit that had been ruined.

He wouldn't say anything if he finished eating; it's fine to eat more fruit from his own orchard for free.

The problem is that everyone was taking bites from him, which was really infuriating! He had only picked up a portion of it; there was still a lot left, which made him so angry that he simply went down the mountain.

Li Chunxing comforted him, and when Wen Luozhi got home, he remembered that he didn't know how the strange woman was doing, and also Mo Li.

She ran upstairs, where Lang Batian stood guard at the door, while Mo Zhengfu continued to plead her case.

"Batian, please let this old man in!"

"Why isn't Ah Li up yet so early in the morning?"

Wolf Overlord was unmoved by thunder, so Mo Zhengfu had no choice but to crane his neck and peer into the house.

With the curtains blocking his view, he couldn't see anything clearly, but he always felt that something was going on inside.

His grandson is an early riser and should usually be reading in the yard at this time of day.

As soon as Wen Luozhi arrived, she saw a man and a wolf struggling together. She quickly went over and said with a smile, "Why isn't Mr. Mo going to the school yet?"

Mo Zhengfu didn't know what to say, and helplessly glanced at Lang Batian, saying, "Ali hasn't gotten up yet."

"Ah, I talked to him about my trip to the prefectural city until midnight last night, he's probably still sleeping right now," Wen Luozhi said without blushing or panting.

When Wolf Overlord saw that reinforcements had arrived, he wagged his tail excitedly and barked twice in response.

Mo Zhengfu naturally believed Wen Luozhi's words, and thinking that he shouldn't disturb his grandson's rest, he took the book and went downstairs.

Once they were sure the person had gone far away, the two, one human and one wolf, exchanged a glance. Wen Luozhi went inside to check on Mo Li and Lang Batian, who were still guarding the door outside.

Mo Li, lying on the bed, looked rosy-cheeked, and Wen Luozhi touched the back of his head; the large bump there had already disappeared.

Seeing that his lips were a little dry, Wen Luozhi took a small cotton swab and was about to moisten his lips when the little boy on the bed opened his eyes:

"Sister Luo Zhi"

Feeling a slight pain in the back of her head, Mo Li frowned slightly.

Seemingly remembering something, he nervously grabbed Wen Luozhi's hand. "Sister, there's a bad guy! Wearing black!"

He tried hard to recall the scene from the previous night, and the thought of the burned face he had seen and those horrible things sent shivers down his spine.

Wen Luozhi patted his back gently to comfort him, "It's alright, it's alright, that woman has been arrested by us."

"you……"

"Want to go have a look?"

She hesitated for a moment, thinking that the crazy woman was clearly after Mo Li, so she asked.

In addition, Mo Li's background is not simple either, and she must find out more about it.

One is fine, but if another strange woman like that comes along, she won't be able to handle it.

Mo Li nodded. The woman looked very familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen her before.

Some things can't be avoided forever, and he wanted to figure them out.

Wen Luozhi took him downstairs to eat something, and the two of them and the wolf headed towards the place the shadowy figure had indicated.

Upon reaching the foot of Mangshan Mountain, Wen Luozhi secretly thought to herself that Helian Yue's people really knew how to pick a place.

They had only taken a few steps into the mountains when a dark figure jumped down from a tree to meet them.

"Will……"

Realizing something was amiss, the shadowy figure quickly changed his tune, "Boss Wen, I've hidden the person."
