Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

Dinner is over.

Xiao Zizai couldn't wait to ask Zhou Fengliu to take him to see Zhao Guizhen.

Zhou Fengliu looked at Xiao Zizai and slowly said, "Old Xiao, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush..."

"Hmm..." Xiao Zizai nodded, and then followed Zhou Fengliu up the mountain under the cover of night.

"Old Xiao, what did you want to see Master Zhao about?" Zhou Fengliu asked Xiao Zizai after thinking for a moment.

Having read the original novel, he naturally knew Xiao Zizai's purpose in seeking out Zhao Guizhen. His unnecessary question was purely out of boredom while traveling at night.

“Make him confess, and then…apply to kill him.” Xiao Zizai was a frank person and told Zhou Fengliu without any concealment.

"Kill him?" Zhou Fengliu stroked his chin upon hearing this. "Old Xiao, I've taken good care of Zhao Guizhen, and you really want to kill him..."

"?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Xiao Zizai frowned slightly. He looked at Zhou Fengliu and his tone changed slightly.

"What? You want to protect him?"

"of course not."

Zhou Fengliu shook his head and continued, "Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me. What I mean is... if you're going to kill him like this, shouldn't you..."

As a seasoned veteran, Xiao Zizai immediately understood what Zhou Fengliu meant when he heard him say that. He then quickly had Zhou Fengliu take out his WeChat payment code.

"?"

Zhou Fengliu was a little confused about Xiao Zizai's actions.

Xiao Zizai quickly scanned his QR code and transferred 1,000 yuan.

"A red envelope upon meeting..."

"???"

Damn it.

This old Xiao.

Zhou Fengliu glanced at the payment records on his phone and immediately sensed that Xiao Zizai had mastered all the social niceties.

Such a generous person sending red envelopes made him instinctively think of a close friend!

Yanzi, the eldest daughter of the Feng family.

"Old Xiao...you've put me in a difficult position." Zhou Fengliu wondered if he was trying to extort money from Xiao Zizai for this small amount.

Obviously not.

"What I meant was that I've been taking care of Zhao Guizhen for several days, and he's a bit weak... If you're going to kill him, shouldn't you find another place to recuperate...?"

Xiao Zizai was somewhat puzzled by Zhou Fengliu's words.

I've been taking care of her for several days... how come she's still feeling weak?

Xiao Zizai didn't realize what Zhou Fengliu meant by "taking care of".

Chapter 157 The Night Xiao Zizai and Zhao Guizhen Had to Tell! (Second Update)

The road was very dark at night, and it took the two of them some time to reach the cliff where Zhao Guizhen was.

Feeling the night wind blowing from the cliff, Xiao Zizai scanned the area with his flashlight and found that there was no one there.

He turned to look at Zhou Fengliu, and was about to ask where Zhao Guizhen was when he saw Zhou Fengliu manipulating the air currents to lift Zhao Guizhen, who was hanging on the cliff and barely alive, up.

The night was already pitch black, and there were few living creatures on the desolate mountain. Even the slightest rustle of wind would be magnified, making this atmosphere perfect for filming horror movies.

Furthermore, Zhao Guizhen's deathly pale face slowly flew up from the bottom of the cliff, instantly filling the surrounding atmosphere with terror.

Under the bright flashlight beam, Zhao Guizhen appeared to be nothing more than a human head floating in mid-air.

An ordinary person seeing this scene for the first time would probably have their mind go blank and exclaim "Holy crap!"

When Xiao Zizai saw Zhao Guizhen, he simply smiled silently.

Zhao Guizhen...

It really is that Taoist priest from Maoshan!

It just doesn't have much vitality; it looks like it could die at any moment.

When Xiao Zizai saw the old wounds on Zhao Guizhen's body, he realized what Zhou Fengliu meant by "taking care of".

This kind of care is not the same as that kind of care...

I can tell.

Master Zhao has received a lot of help from his colleagues before.

Xiao Zizai's gaze fell on Zhou Fengliu, who was not far away.

...

"Master Zhao... wake up, are you dead?"

Zhou Fengliu looked at Zhao Guizhen and greeted him warmly. The mountain wind was strong that night, and Zhao Guizhen wasn't wearing any warm clothes, so he was suffering from hypothermia...

"He's probably not dead..."

Zhou Fengliu briefly checked Zhao Guizhen's vital signs and, finding him to be alright, couldn't help but remark that Zhao Guizhen was truly resilient.

It survived hanging there for several days without dying, it's as tough as a cockroach.

"Old Xiao, he's right here." Zhou Fengliu looked at Xiao Zizai: "This Daoist Zhao stole my things before, so I beat him up and left him hanging down this cliff..."

Listening to Zhou Fengliu's words, Xiao Zizai leaned closer to examine Zhao Guizhen's wounds, which were already rotting and infested with maggots.

This kind of wound...it really makes him nauseous.

"I've handed the man over to you. The rest... you figure it out yourself," Zhou Fengliu said.

Xiao Zizai's meticulousness was not in vain; he had kept Zhao Guizhen hanging for so long until today. Now that the person has returned to his rightful owner, Zhou Fengliu is very interested in seeing the craftsmanship of the so-called "human scorpion".

"Oh, right... I think this video might help Master Zhao confess his guilt."

Zhou Fengliu then showed Xiao Zizai the video of Zhao Guizhen confessing his guilt.

After watching the video, Xiao Zizai silently pushed up his glasses and then looked at the weak Zhao Guizhen in front of him.

how to say?

He originally enjoyed the satisfaction of life passing by, but the true vitality of his fellow patient Zhao Gui was not very strong. Even if he were to "enjoy" it now, the inner comfort would not be as intense.

never mind!

Having something to eat is better than having nothing to eat.

Xiao Zizai consoled himself for a moment, then said to Zhou Fengliu, "Brother, let's go back."

"Just like that, you're going back?" Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"Okay, I'm going to get something." Xiao Zizai indicated that he hadn't taken his equipment.

Seeing this, Zhou Fengliu went down the mountain with Xiao Zizai. He watched as Xiao Zizai hummed a little tune, picked up his backpack again, and prepared to go up the mountain again.

"Thank you for your hard work tonight. I will enjoy this feast." Xiao Zizai expressed his gratitude to Zhou Fengliu before heading up the mountain.

"Um..."

Zhou Fengliu watched as Xiao Zizai hummed a tune and went up the mountain again. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to follow.

Better go back to sleep.

It's too gory; I might have nightmares at night.

Zhou Fengliu yawned and then walked towards his room.

...

Meanwhile, just as Zhou Fengliu was washing up and getting ready for bed, Xiao Zizai returned to the cliff with his backpack once again.

Facing Zhao Guizhen writhing on the ground, he easily picked up Zhao Guizhen's body, stripped off Zhao Guizhen's tattered clothes and tied them to a tree.

Looking at Zhao Guizhen, who was tied to a tree naked, Xiao Zizai took out the "professional's" equipment from his backpack by the moonlight.

"This is useful...we need this too, oh right, I almost forgot about this."

Xiao Zizai then took out two more magical treasures to give the half-dead Zhao Guizhen a final burst of vitality.

These two magical artifacts contain small amounts of adrenal medullary hormone and adrenal cortex hormone respectively...

Injecting these two hormones will make Zhao Guizhen much more awake, at least much better than his current sickly state.

After injecting the two hormones into Zhao Guizhen's veins, Xiao Zizai then put Zhao Guizhen on a small oxygen ventilator and administered basic glucose injections.

The nutrients provided by this glucose are exactly what Zhao Guizhen needs right now.

Such meticulous care for Zhao Guizhen... If others saw this, they would definitely call Xiao Zizai a warm-hearted man.

Too thin...

After doing all this, Xiao Zizai picked up a small knife and quietly waited for Zhao Guizhen's condition to improve.

About ten minutes later, Zhao Guizhen recovered considerably; at least he was able to open his eyes and sense his body.
