w.a.n.g Xifan drove the broken Hongqi[1] and brought Huang Youcai to West Star Mountain. They simply found a chemical store where they bought a bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid and put it in the trunk.
Originally, concentrated chemicals such as acid required a doc.u.ment from a work unit before they could be purchased, for example, schools or laboratories, etc. Those items generally wonât be sold to an individual. But, they couldnât resist the extra payment. w.a.n.g Xifan simply added more money and the owner happily sold him a bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid.
w.a.n.g Xifan came to the construction site from last time. w.a.n.g Xifan naturally was familiar with the place where he disposed of the corpse. He found the foundation pit that was last filled.
âYoucai, can you be my lookout and see if there is anyone nearby?â w.a.n.g Xifan found a shovel and asked.
âAlright, no problem, President w.a.n.g.â Huang Youcai replied.
w.a.n.g Xifan nodded and dug with a shovel. However, the strange thing was that he dug for a long time and yet nothing was dug out!
Looking at the rubble that was dug out, it was piled up very high. It had already exceeded the volume he filled in that day. w.a.n.g Xifanâs head began to sweat. âYoucai, did we remember it correctly? Is it here?â
âYes!â Huang Youcai said, âWhat happened, President w.a.n.g? What happened?â
âIt canât be right. I have been digging for such a long time. Why is Su Dazhiâs body not here?â
w.a.n.g Xifan thought that this was a bit strange. His back was filled with cold sweat.
âItâs not possible. Let me think about it againâŠâ Huang Youcai carefully looked around the construction site and said, âYes, itâs indeed here!â
âThatâs strange. Why canât we dig up the body?â w.a.n.g Xifan rubbed the cold sweat on his forehead and wondered.
âPresident w.a.n.g, have you not dug it out yet? Letâs look for it again.â Huang Youcai thought this was a bit weird. âLook. There is still a faint bloodstain right here. We killed Su Dazhi here last time.â
âThat canât be right. I have already dug to the bottom. The soil level of the foundation pit is already visible. Yet, there is still no body!â w.a.n.g Xifan said in horror.
âWhat is going on here?â Huang Youcai was also a bit surprised. âWas it discovered already by others?â
âThatâs bad!â w.a.n.g Xifan said with fear.
âHowever, since it was discovered, why did they fill the pit with stones and rubble?â Huang Youcai looked at the foundation pit thoughtfully and said, âDid the corpse of Su Dazhi come back to life?â
âWhat? Donât spout nonsenseâŠâ w.a.n.g Xifan couldnât help but feel a chill. Although he was an atheist and his age was so old, he didnât quite believe in ghosts.
But todayâs event was really too odd. The fact was in front of his eye. Su Dazhiâs body was gone. If the corpse came back to life, it was really a bit frightening!
In this atmosphere, jokes werenât a good optionâŠ
Even though Huang Youcai himself said this, he was a little scared and had gooseb.u.mps all over his body. âPresident w.a.n.g, it might be too late and we remembered the wrong directions. How about we come back tomorrowâŠâ
âWell⊠then letâs get out of here. I can feel a strong chilly wind âŠâ w.a.n.g Xifan also had some fears and didnât want to stay in this place.
â Jiejiejiejie âŠâ Strange laughter suddenly came over. w.a.n.g Xifanâs and Huang Youcaiâs scalps suddenly turned numb.
âWhat sound is that?â w.a.n.g Xifan summoned his courage and asked.
âI donât know⊠President w.a.n.g, it could be a beastâŠâ Huang Youcai comforted himself.
â Oh , letâs hurry upâŠâ w.a.n.g Xifan dropped the shovel as he turned around to return to his car. However, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked ahead of him in horror. âThatâs⊠thatâs âŠâ
w.a.n.g Xifan dropped his jaws widely and couldnât even utter his words cohesivelyâŠ
Huang Youcai looked up baffled in the direction w.a.n.g Xifan looked at. He was abruptly shocked to the point where he couldnât speak!
In their eyes, there was a man with a pale face halfway up the mountain not far away! Under the moonlight, the face of this person was oddly clear! It wasnât anyone else but the deceased Su Dazhi!
â Aiya , my mother⊠whatâs thatâŠâ Huang Youcai was scared until he forgot how to use his crutch and sat directly on the ground.
âRun! Hurry and run! The corpse really came back to lifeâŠâ w.a.n.g Xifan also gradually regained himself. He pulled up Huang Youcai and got in the car. He straight away drove to the foothill and almost got into an accident and turned over the carâŠ
And the âSu Dazhiâ on the hillside suddenly shone with green light⊠Half a minute later, it fadedâŠ
â Jiejiejiejie âŠâ It was another weird laugh. âOld Man Lan⊠Iâm just short thirty-two newly dead ghosts to cultivate my Sinister Voodoo⊠By that time, it will be the time when your Lan Family Village perishes⊠jiejiejiejie âŠâ
âWhy does Lin Zhiyun like you? Thatâs not possibleâŠâ Li Dadongâs voice lost some reasoning.
âWhy? Your question is quite funny⊠Is there a reason for love?â Yang Ming looked at Li Dadong with some sympathy. This sad person secretly had a crush on Lin Zhiyun.
âLin Zhiyun and I were childhood sweethearts ever since we were young, and youâve only known her for two monthsâŠâ Li Dadong clenched his fist. âWhy?â
âI said that I have been with her for two months. I didnât say that I have known her for two months.â Yang Ming sneered, âThen, let me ask you. When Uncle Linâs leg was. .h.i.t by a car and Lin Zhiyun was helpless, where were you?â
âI⊠I was fanatically tutoring in Donghai⊠I wanted to make more moneyâŠâ Li Dadong muttered.
âNo brainer.â Yang Ming shook his head. âIf you take five tutoring sessions a day, you can only get the money at the end of the month. By that time, Uncle Lin had become severely ill!â
âThisâŠâ Li Dadong couldnât continue.
âDo you know what Lin Zhiyun did at the time? In order to treat Uncle Lin, she went to sell herself!â Yang Ming said, âDo you know about that?â
âWhat? Lin Zhiyun went to sell herself?â Li Dadong listened, and his face was filled with agony.
âBut, fortunately, I met her. I gave her three thousand yuanâŠâ Yang Ming sighed.
âOkay! It turned out to be like this! Surely, Zhiyun was forced. You actually used such despicable meansâŠâ Li Dadong didnât wait for Yang Ming to finish and looked at Yang Ming insanely.
âBeing forced? Hehe, your imagination is very rich. But I didnât ask her to do anything at that timeâŠâ Yang Ming shook his head. âIt was not until later when I met Zhiyun again that we got togetherâŠâ
âYou⊠you didnât ask her⊠to do that with you?â Li Dadong looked at Yang Ming with amazement.
âI donât like s.e.x without love.â Yang Ming shook his head.
âThat saidâŠyou two didnât have such a relations.h.i.+p? Do I still have a chance?â Li Dadong, after listening to Yang Mingâs words, was full of hope.
âIâm sorry. We didnât at that time, but we have since.â Yang Ming shrugged. âSo, your chances are almost zero.â
ââŠâ Li Dadong couldnât speak and looked at Yang Ming. Then, he lowered his head and he silently poured beer into his mouth.
âI told you this because I want to tell you that sometimes, being simple isnât necessarily love.â Yang Ming shook his head. âFalling in love with someone isnât related to time. Sometimes, when love comes, itâs just a momentary thingâŠâ
Yang Ming said this to Li Dadong, but in fact, wasnât he telling it to himself? Werenât the feelings between him and Su Ya the kind of plain feelings between childhood sweethearts?
Indeed, between me and Su Ya, there was already an ambiguous relations.h.i.+p stronger than those between brothers and sisters like Li Dadong. However, how long has it been? How can I guarantee that Su Ya hasnât fallen in love with others?
âYou⊠please leave⊠let me think about it aloneâŠâ Li Dadong wasnât an unreasonable person. When he heard that Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun already had that relations.h.i.+p, he knew that his chance was already non-existent.
Lin Zhiyun was that kind of conservative girl. Li Dadongâs was clear about it deep down in his heart. I donât mind it, but Lin Zhiyun is the kind of person who would stay for love until the endâŠ
Therefore, when Li Dadong understood this, he succ.u.mbed to his fate. Indeed, Yang Ming is right. If there was a possibility between me and Lin Zhiyun, we would have already been together. Since we have been brother and sister for so many years, and Lin Zhiyun hasnât developed a love for me, that means Lin Zhiyun has already regarded me as a brotherâŠ
âYou think about it yourself⊠Also, regarding the matter about Lin Zhiyun going to sell herself, donât tell Uncle Lin and Aunty Shen.â Yang Ming patted Li Dadongâs shoulder. He stood up and turned around as he left the private room.
When Yang Ming saw Aunty Hong, he took the initiative to pay the bill. Yang Ming also saw that Li Dadong wasnât wealthy and didnât want to take advantage of him.
