Chapter 272 Weird Mother Liang

Chapter 172 Weird Mother Liang

Before Liang Jihu could speak, a man next to the village chief shouted, "No!"

Shang Lu turned his head to look at the man and snorted, "Why, I need your permission to go to Liang Shuli's house to ask for a drink of water?"

"That's not what he meant."

Liang Jihu quickly helped to smooth things over.

But implicitly, he was also politely refusing.

"My house is small and my mother is ill in bed, so it is not convenient for me to greet the brothers from the Shangze Cao and the other thieves in the Cao's office."

The village chief interrupted at this time and said, "How about this, if you don't mind, please come to my house and rest for a while. It's almost time for lunch, I'll prepare some wine and thank you for helping me deliver the letter on behalf of Liang Jihu."

"I was careless. I was so focused on visiting your mother that I forgot about this. Brother Liang, please don't mind it."

Shang Lu rolled his eyes, apologized to Liang Jihu first, and then said to the village chief: "Village chief, you are so kind, we won't be polite."

The village chief was stunned when he heard this.

He originally wanted Shang Lu and the others to leave quickly, but he was afraid that saying that would make Shang Lu and the others suspicious, so he thought of being insincerely polite.

I thought that these officials would not agree because they were in a hurry to do their job.

But I didn't expect that this merchant thief Cao was so rude and abominable.

But now that I have said it, I can't go back on my word, otherwise it will make these officers more suspicious.

The village chief had no choice but to invite Shang Lu and others to his home.

But at the same time, I also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although these officials are still in the village, as long as they stay away from Liang Jihu's home, they will be fine if they can trap him.

Wait until after the meal, then give them some money and send them away, and the secret will not be exposed.

In a few days, when the matter is settled, they will not be afraid even if these officials come to Xipinggou again.

The village chief was comforting himself in his heart, but unexpectedly Shang Lu suddenly reached out, grabbed Liang Jihu, and said with a smile: "Brother Liang, come with us."

Liang Jihu wanted to refuse, but Shang Lu didn't give him the chance and just pulled him away.

The village chief opened his mouth and wanted to stop it, but was afraid of arousing Shang Lu's suspicion. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to give up.

While pulling Liang Jihu to the village chief's house, Shang Lu noticed that Liang Jihu had been observing his shadow.

In other words, he was calculating the time based on the position of the sun.

Shang Lu was not in a hurry to ask, but waited quietly to see what he was going to do.

At the same time, Shang Lu controlled the paper people he had released earlier and asked them to rush to Liang Jihu's home.

These paper figures went around the village but found nothing.

Judging from the reactions of the village chief, Liang Jihu and others, the secret is most likely hidden in Liang Jihu's home.

Before the paper man arrived at Liang Jihu's house, Shang Lu and others arrived at the village chief's house first.

The village chief's house is at the other end of Xipinggou and is much larger than many other houses in the village.

After everyone arrived, the village chief asked his family to kill chickens and pick vegetables, while he brought out tables, chairs and benches and asked Shang Lu and others to sit down.

Shang Lu was chatting with the absent-minded Liang Jihu.

In fact, he was also absent-minded.

Because he was controlling the paper man and sneaked into Liang Jihu's house.

Although it was broad daylight, the doors and windows of Liang Jihu's house were all closed tightly.

Even the gaps between doors and windows were sealed with mud.

But this is not a problem for Shanglu's paper figurine.

These paper figures can easily cut through the mud that seals the gaps in doors and windows.

But Shang Lu thought about it and didn't do that. Instead, he let the paper man climb onto the roof and drill in through the gap between the tiles.

Being so high up, one can have a clear view of the entire situation in the house.

Because the doors and windows were closed, the light in the room was very dim, but fortunately the paper man was not affected.

Through the images they transmitted back, Shang Lu saw a bed in the room, with a woman in her fifties lying on it, her eyes closed, as if she was fast asleep.

This woman should be Liang Jihu's mother.

It seems that it is just as Liang Jihu said, there is nothing serious.

Shang Lu left a paper man on the roof to monitor, and controlled several other paper men to slip down quietly and conduct a detailed search of Liang Jihu's home.

During the whole process, Liang Jihu's mother lay on the bed with her eyes closed, without making any sound, and was unaware of the intrusion of the paper man.

Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was noon, and the sun was directly above everyone's heads.

There was suddenly some movement in Liang Jihu's home.

Liang's mother, who was sleeping soundly on the bed with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes, opened her mouth and let out a shrill cry, and began to struggle violently.

At this moment, Shang Lu discovered through the paper man that under the blanket covering Liang's mother, her hands and feet were tied with tough cowhide ropes.

At the same time, in the village chief's house, Liang Jihu, who had been absent-minded, suddenly stood up and said, "Sorry, you thief, I have to go back to give my mother medicine. Please stay in the village chief's house for a while, I will be back soon."

After saying that, without waiting for Shang Lu to express his opinion, he turned around and hurriedly ran out of the village chief's house.

Shentu looked at Shanglu and asked him if he wanted to send a thief to follow him, but Shanglu gently shook his head and refused.

With the paper man, he had a clear grasp of Liang Jihu's whereabouts. If he sent a thief to follow him, it would easily alert the enemy.

The village chief and others had been paying attention to the reactions of Shang Lu and the others. Seeing that they "didn't care", they immediately felt relieved.

He hurriedly served the dishes and invited Shang Lu and others to eat and drink.

Liang Jihu ran all the way back home, carefully opened the door, and immediately closed it.

He didn't notice the uninvited guest in his house. Seeing his mother struggling and screaming on the bed, he hurriedly comforted her:

"Mom, I'm back. I'll give you medicine right away and you won't be in pain any more."

As he spoke, he picked up a hunting knife from behind the door, walked quickly to the bed, stretched out his left hand, and slashed his wrist with the knife.

Blood gushed out immediately.

Liang Jihu endured the pain and stretched out his hand in front of Liang's mother.

Liang's mother did not hesitate. She opened her mouth, bit Liang Jihu's wrist wound, and began to suck it with big gulps.

Liang Jihu's already weak spirit became further weakened during this process. Even his body became thinner.

Shang Lu, who saw this scene through the paper man, was greatly surprised.

He never imagined that Liang Jihu's way of treating his mother was to feed her his own blood.

No...that's not right.

Shang Lu's eyes focused, and he judged through the paper man that Liang's mother was not sick, but was possessed by evil spirits!

It’s even hard to say whether Liang’s mother is a human being or not!

It seems that this is the secret that everyone in Xipinggou wants to hide.

They knew about Liang's mother's strange condition, but they still helped Liang Jihu hide it.

The good relationship between the neighbors allowed them to ignore Liang's mother's weird behavior.

Or is this matter itself related to them and the "great immortal" they mentioned?
With full of guesses, Shang Lu got up and went to Liang Jihu's home to examine Liang's mother's condition up close to see if she was still a human being.

Seeing Shang Lu getting up to leave, Shentu and others immediately followed.

The village chief was panicked when he saw this, and asked hurriedly: "Gentlemen, it's time for dinner, where are you going?"

Shang Lu glanced at him and said deliberately: "Go to Liang Jihu's house and take a look."

Sure enough, when the village chief heard this, he was horrified and said in a hurry: "No!"

However, this time, Shang Lu did not engage in verbal battle with him, but marched away with Shen Tu and others.

"Stop them!"

The village chief's expression changed and he shouted loudly.

There was a rustling sound outside the yard.

In an instant, hundreds of people came.

They were all villagers from Xiping Village, and each of them was carrying a hoe, a stick, a hatchet or a hunting knife.

They surrounded Shang Lu and his men with a covetous look on their faces.

Shang Lu's group consisted of less than ten people, but facing so many villagers, they were not afraid at all and even wanted to laugh.
