Chapter 532 Who would care about a village guard?
He had lived in the village for so many years, he could remember what a tree looked like with his eyes closed. But the person Xiao Zhuang was carrying, although he looked similar, had no injuries on his face and was completely different from the tree he had just smashed to death!
Huang Huan has already been taken home, and he is the only one in the car now.

Moreover, the main road was full of vehicles and workers from Ruiyang Mining, walking down the mountain in twos and threes, so even if Erzhu wanted to make a move, he wouldn't have a chance.

He got out of the car, walked up to Xiao Zhuang, and asked tentatively, "Who are you carrying? Where's the tree?"

Xiao Zhuang quickly lowered his head, not daring to look into Er Zhu's eyes, and stammered, "I...I saw Brother Shu lying unconscious in the snow, so I carried him on my back...This is Brother Shu, Er Zhu, you must have mistaken me for someone else?"

He was extremely flustered, fearing that Erzhu would see through his disguise.

Erzhu squinted, glanced at Feng Yuxiu's face, and then touched Feng Yuxiu's hand; it was warm!

He knew the force of his hammer blow; the tree's head was definitely shattered, and there was no way it could still be alive!
But the person Xiao Zhuang carried on his back was not only breathing, but also had no injuries.

He wondered to himself: Where did Xiao Zhuang come from to carry such a person?

Fortunately, Xiao Zhuang did not find the tree's corpse.

The tree is definitely dead; he's come back to dispose of the body.

Just throw the tree carcass into the valley, and after a few days of heavy snow, all traces will be gone.

Erzhu breathed a sigh of relief, but kept a calm expression on his face: "Oh, then you go ahead. Be careful, it's slippery up the mountain."

"Well then, Brother Erzhu, I'll be going now." Xiao Zhuang quickly turned around to leave, his steps slightly unsteady.

But after taking only a couple of steps, Erzhu suddenly noticed the bloodstains on Xiaozhuang's back that were sealed onto Xiu's leg.

The bloodstains were the same color as blood in the snow!
His heart skipped a beat, and he shouted, "Wait a minute!"

Xiao Zhuang was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost fell. He quickly turned around and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Second Pig Brother, what's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Erzhu smiled, but the smile disappeared from his eyes: "I'll take you down. It's too heavy to carry someone like that. There are still several kilometers to go. You can't walk alone."

"No need, Brother Pig, you just do your thing! I can manage!"

Xiao Zhuang quickly waved his hand; he dared not walk with Er Zhu.

Who knows if Erzhu will attack him on the way!

"boarding!"

Erzhu's tone suddenly turned cold. He turned around and opened the back seat of the car. Xiaozhuang immediately saw the wooden handle of the hammer sticking out from under the seat.

That's the hammer that Erzhu used to smash the tree to death!
Xiao Zhuang was trembling with fear, but he knew that if he didn't go up, Er Zhu would definitely punish him on the spot.

He carried Feng Yuxiu onto the car with trepidation, clutching Feng Yuxiu's clothes tightly with both hands, silently praying: Please don't let anything happen, please don't let anything happen!

Instead of returning to Wangdu Village, the car drove deeper into the mountains.

As Erzhu drove, he kept glancing at Xiaozhuang in the rearview mirror, his heart pounding with anxiety.

He's already killed one person; he doesn't have the guts to kill a second.

He's just a local hoodlum and a rich kid. He's good at bullying honest people, but if you really asked him to kill someone again, he'd be scared.

The car finally stopped at the entrance of an abandoned mine. Erzhu turned off the engine and looked back at Xiaozhuang.

Xiao Zhuang immediately covered his head and knelt down with a thud, tears and snot streaming down his face: "Brother Erzhu, I didn't see anything, please don't kill me! I promise, I'll never dare to do it again, I won't tell anyone!"

A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Erzhu's eyes, but he quickly calmed down.

He truly dared not kill again.

He crouched down, patted Xiao Zhuang on the shoulder, and said with a hint of temptation in his voice, "Xiao Zhuang, you saw it all, right? Well, I won't hide it from you anymore. From now on, he's a tree. It's fate. I don't know where you brought him from, but from this moment on, he's a tree. As long as you don't tell anyone, you'll get plenty of benefits!"

"Second Pig, what do you mean? He'll wake up! If he wakes up, won't we be exposed?" Xiao Zhuang looked up, his face streaked with tears, his eyes filled with panic. Second Pig squinted, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it: "I heard that a heavy blow to the head can cause amnesia. If he really has amnesia, won't he know nothing? Even if he wakes up, as long as you don't say anything, who will suspect anything?"

"But...but Brother Erzhu, you've already hit Brother Shu with a hammer, he's already dead. If you kill this person too, the police will definitely investigate!" Xiao Zhuang's voice was trembling. He was really afraid that Erzhu would act impulsively and kill him and Feng Yuxiu as well.

"Then let him remain unconscious. In a few days, when it snows heavily, as long as he's unconscious for a few days, once the snow melts, who will know how the tree died?"

Erzhu took a drag of his cigarette, blew a smoke ring, and added, with a hint of threat in his tone, "Of course... that's assuming you don't tell. If you dare to tell anyone, your whole family will be in trouble!"

He picked up the hammer from beside his feet, weighed it in his hand, and then said, "Xiao Zhuang, isn't the village going to requisition land? I'll have my dad allocate an extra 20,000 yuan to your family. Don't you like that two-bedroom apartment in Sun City? I'll have my dad reserve it for your family, and we can put it in your name directly."

"As long as you shut up, all of this is yours. Xiao Zhuang, these days, if you don't seize the opportunity, you'll only be able to dig coal in the mine and be a farmer for the rest of your life! Don't you want to change your fate? Don't you want your parents to live a better life?"

Xiao Zhuang kept his head down and didn't say anything.

He worked as a miner at Ruiyang Mining Company, spending his days in dark mine shafts. His wages were low, and his life was constantly in danger.

He had long felt that there was no hope for the future, and every time he opened his eyes, he felt like he was living in hell.

Now the opportunity has arrived: 20,000 yuan and a house—things he never even dared to dream of! As long as he keeps his mouth shut, all of this will be his.

But he also felt a little regretful.

Shu was a good person who often brought him food, but now he's been killed by Erzhu. If Erzhu doesn't call the police, Shu's death will have been in vain.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, his heart churning with turmoil.

Seeing that Erzhu was getting impatient, he even raised the iron hammer in his hand.

Xiao Zhuang trembled with fright.

Who am I? Who are you?

Feng Yuxiu woke up, opened his eyes, and asked with a confused look.

She fainted again the next second.

Seeing this, Erzhu was also stunned. "Has this kid really lost his memory? Or is he pretending because he overheard our conversation?"

Xiao Zhuang gritted his teeth, "Brother Erzhu, I've made up my mind, I'm going to do it with you. I'll take this tree home and guard it. If he wakes up and there are any problems, I'll tell you right away."

Erzhu smiled and handed Xiaozhuang three thousand yuan, saying, "Good brother, take this and have a meal first."

-

Inside the interrogation room, Xiao Zhuang rubbed his eyes and lowered his head. "You know what happens next."

Feng Yuxiu narrowed his eyes. After he woke up from the tree house, Xiao Zhuang sat down next to him.

He was relieved to see that he had lost his memory.

"No, it's impossible that the people in your village didn't notice that the tree had turned into another person, even if that person looks very similar."

Feng Yuxiu finally asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

"Nobody cares about the village guards...who would bother to look closely...I think Erzhu is making a fuss over nothing. Even if the tree were found dead in the mountains, nobody would care."

"He was always an unwanted and incomplete person in the village."

Xiao Zhuang's words made Feng Yuxiu take a breath. The explanation was far-fetched, but it made sense.

Who cares, who will seriously look at the village guardian?
