Chapter 423 Testing
The next day, around eight o'clock in the morning.

"Yo... yo..." A man in his forties or fifties, holding a whip in his hand, shouted and drove six or seven sheep, walking between the hills.

"What bad luck! Why are the sheep running here so early in the morning!" The man was walking behind the flock of sheep. He inadvertently saw the piles of graves not far away. In an instant, his face turned a little grim.

People living in big cities are more educated. On weekdays, they see tall buildings and busy traffic. Generally speaking, they believe in science, and few people are superstitious about ghosts and gods.

People who have always lived in small mountain villages in remote areas are just the opposite.

After all, in that kind of area, all kinds of strange and bizarre stories have always been widely circulated, and occasionally they really happen.

The traditions that have been passed down since ancient times are more completely preserved the more remote the place is.

Driving the sheep to the edge of a grave pile early in the morning was undoubtedly not a good sign.

Shouting, the man drove a few sheep and prepared to leave quickly.

Inadvertently, a figure hanging on the crooked tree near the grave mound caught his sight.

He screamed "Ah...". Although he was a grown man, he was obviously frightened and cried out in surprise.

"Who would come here to hang themselves? Scarecrow, this must be a scarecrow..." His legs and feet felt a little weak, and the man muttered to himself. He mustered up his courage and tried to take a few steps forward, getting closer to the tree.

When he saw Meng Fangming's hideous face with purple undertones and his tongue hanging out of his mouth, he was filled with fear. He was so scared that he pissed himself and shit himself. He didn't even care about the sheep and ran away.

More than half an hour later, the shepherd man, with the same unhappy look on his face, appeared again near the pile of graves. However, he was no longer alone, but brought a large group of people with him.

Not only that, people from nearby villages who had heard the news rushed here to watch the fun, and they were still coming here in an endless stream.

"Whose kid is this, running here to hang himself? Does anyone know him?"

"I don't know him. I definitely don't know him. I'm sure the guy who died here was not from our place at all."

"Old Third, you were the first one to find this place. Did you call the police?"

"I was so scared at the time that I didn't even care about my sheep, let alone call the police."

"Does anyone have a cell phone? What are you still standing there for? Go and kill the demon spirit!"

……

The faces of people who were hanged have particularly hideous expressions and look very scary.

Among those who came here to watch the excitement, there were many brave ones, but no one approached the corpse. They just watched from a distance.

Although mobile phones in 2008 were no longer a luxury item, they were still not available to everyone.

Especially for residents of small mountain villages who stay in remote areas, only a very small number of people carry mobile phones with them.

As everyone was pointing and talking, someone finally picked up his phone and started calling the police.

"The man hanged here, even if he turned into ashes, I would know him."

"My daughter committed suicide by jumping off a building because of Meng Fangming."

"Heaven has eyes, Xiaoyu, is it you who showed up?"

An old farmer with dark skin, gray hair and looking very old walked out of the crowd. He stared at the corpse hanged on a tree not far away for a long time.

The next moment, he burst into tears and stumbled to a grave not far away. Without caring about his image, he sat down on the ground, and his tears began to flow like beads from a broken string.

The old farmer is Xiaoyu's father, Yao Dafa. The death of an old man in his seventies or eighties is a happy funeral, but the death of a young person by an old person is the most painful thing in the world.

Yao Dafa naturally had some understanding of the circumstances surrounding the death of his daughter Xiaoyu.

Although she committed suicide by jumping off a building, the person who tricked her out was Meng Fangming, and the hideous scars on her body were also caused by Meng Fangming. Although the law proved that Meng Fangming was not guilty, Yao Dafa wanted to tear him apart alive.

It's a pity that he is just an honest farmer and has no way to know the whereabouts of Meng Fangming. No matter how much he hates this person, he can only suppress the hatred in his heart.

Almost at the same time, inside a breakfast shop near Yujingyuan Community.

Jiang Yao and his companions naturally had no idea what was happening in Shaquan Town.

After returning from Shaquan Town last night, he went back to his home in Yujingyuan Community, while Bingzai and Big Bear found another place to live in the county town.

After all, they are not short of money and are definitely not interested in staying at Jiang Yao's house. They can just find a hotel outside to book a room and call a few girls from the sauna to soothe their fragile hearts.

"Uncle Yao, what would you like to eat?" The two big bear soldiers were chatting and drinking wine with a few plates of cold dishes such as peanuts. When they saw Jiang Yao who had just walked into the breakfast shop, they quickly stood up and greeted him.

"Have a bowl of beef noodles!" Jiang Yao shouted to the owner of the breakfast shop next door, and sat down at the table where they were.

The beef noodles from my hometown are bright red and look very appetizing.

During the time in Hong Kong, Jiang Yao missed the beef noodles from his hometown the most.

During this time when he returned to his hometown, a bowl of beef noodles was almost a must-order for his daily breakfast.

"We went to Xingdu to play for a few days. Did you two meet Scar Liu, Wang Jian and others?"

"I've heard from Big Bear before that these guys have been doing pretty well in the past few years since they returned to the mainland from Hong Kong."

"This time, after seeing them in person, how did you two feel? Did you show off in front of them?"

Jiang Yao took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to each of them, then joked with a smile.

Yesterday, after Bingzai and Big Bear came back, Jiang Yao did not ask much about their trip to Xingdu because they had important things to do.

Now that they had some free time and were having breakfast together, he naturally couldn't help but ask a few questions.

"Scar Liu opened a KTV, and Wang Jian opened a hotel."

"In the past few years since they came back, they have been doing pretty well, especially in their local area. They can barely be considered as celebrities."

"Boss, you should still remember the two brothers Li Jianguo and Li Jianbang that I mentioned before, right?"

Soldier and Big Bear, who had already sat down again, looked at each other with smiles on their faces, and Big Bear spoke in response.

"Remember, aren't they the two brothers you mentioned who came back to do real estate and almost built up their company?"

Nodding, Jiang Yao added with a smile, "That Li Zhaofeng was the one you and the Li brothers were watching on the boat that day, right?"

"They are two brothers who are good at using their brains and reliable in doing things. Among the brothers who followed me, I was most impressed by Li Jianguo and Li Jianbang."

"After returning to the mainland from Hong Kong, they have been able to achieve such success in their careers. It seems that I am quite good at judging people."

Bingzai and Dagouxiong were drinking, but Jiang Yao was not very interested in it. He poured himself a cup of tea and used it instead of wine to toast the two of them.

"Yes, it's them two." Picking up the wine glass in front of him, the big bear took a sip.

Then, he spoke tentatively and continued, "They have always admired you, Boss. After hearing that Brother Bing and I are still working for you, they are extremely envious."

"It's just a pity. They have big families now, and they have children to support. It's not suitable for them to fight and kill."

"But they said they are willing to transfer 51% of the shares of Dingxin Real Estate Development Company, which they founded, to you, the boss, free of charge."
