Chapter 146 How could I possibly know how many times he beats me in a day?

Everyone became interested; they knew exactly what kind of people the people of Guyue Village were.

Unexpectedly, this place is full of hidden talents; a big boss has emerged, and he's even involved in high technology.

"Tell me more about this Gu Lin, and that whole family of lunatics," Zhang Qingguan said.

Gu Xiaoshan took a sip of tea, his fatigue completely gone: "We only heard about the specifics from what happened about ten years ago. Back then, we were all young, just starting out in society, and went south to work."

"I'm not very familiar with Gu Lin. He was a good student since he was a child, with excellent grades, and he got into Jinghai University."

We didn't have much contact before; we met in South Hebei Province when we were both working on a construction site.

Zhang Qingguan asked curiously, "Watching the place? What does that mean?"

Gu Qingyi and the others did not understand the professional terminology of Guyue Village.

"You can think of them as security guards. Back then, if no one was watching, they could clear out your construction site the next day if someone stole steel bars, bricks, or sand from it."

Older people usually can't handle it, and those with families or businesses are too constrained, so they look for young people like us who have just entered society and don't know anything.

You all know what kind of people lived in our village. Back then, there were seven or eight brothers, they didn't know the law, they were just street thugs.

"Get to the point," Gu Bai said.

"The key point is that I met Gu Lin at the construction site. He was with a few young people, who said they were his classmates."

At the time, I didn't recognize him. He was the one who approached me, bought me drinks, and didn't ask anything else, just how my work at the construction site was going.

Gu Xiaoshan took a deep drag on his cigarette: "He said he was going to Nanhe Province for an internship, to do market research or something. I don't know anything about it. About three or four days after that drinking session, the construction site we were looking at was shut down."

"It's been blocked?" Everyone was taken aback. "What's the reason?"

"I don't know. The boss has disappeared. I asked around, and all I heard was that they dug up something unlucky," Gu Xiaoshan said.

"Didn't you go inside the construction site to take a look?" Zhang Qingguan asked.

"No, the contractor paid the wages, and we got the money. Whatever happens is none of our business."

Gu Xiaoshan said, "When I came back for the New Year, I heard that the Gu Lin family had moved away. Some people said they found gold and jewelry left by their ancestors on the mountain, while others said his classmate invested in him. In any case, they made a fortune."

"Er Yazi's family went to look for Gu Lin, and after they came back, they went into the mountains, talking about how there was gold in the mountains; when the villagers heard this, they all went into the mountains to look for it."

Clearly, no one found the gold, and Er Ya Zi's family also went insane, all saying they were driven mad by their desire for the gold.

"You just said you were looking after a place?"

Zhuge Buliang walked over, his expression serious, and said, "Nanhe Province? Construction site?"

Gu Xiaoshan paused for a moment, then nodded subconsciously: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Zhuge Buliang's expression was very unnatural.

Zhang Qing glanced at him, then seemed to realize something: "Was it mentioned in the will?"

"Hmm." Zhuge Buliang nodded solemnly and said, "Don't ask anymore. If you can't figure out what's in the mirror, this old Taoist can't tell you in detail."

"Could it be that you know what's in the mirror?" Zhang Qingguan asked.

Everyone was very curious about what could have fooled Shen Gongbao and the others, and what could have caused Zhuge Buliang to be slapped in the face.

Zhuge Buliang did not answer, but instead asked, "Has Gu Lin returned?"

"He came back, but he kept a low profile; he only came back to pay respects to his ancestors." Gu Xiaoshan took a puff of his cigarette and turned to ask, "Little Madam, when was the last time Gu Lin came back?"

The old woman serving the dishes replied, "It was probably two years ago, I don't remember exactly. I saw her once when we were worshipping our ancestors on the mountain."

Two years ago!

Gu Bai's heart skipped a beat; the timeline of Yun He's beating matched up.

Could it be that there's something strange about Gu Lin, and Yun He is trying to catch him?

"Do you have a photo of him?" Gu Qingyi asked.

Gu Xiaoshan and the others shook their heads and said, "We're not familiar with him, and we don't have any photos of him. We might have some from Er Yazi's family, but he's gone mad."

"What is their relationship with Gu Lin?" Gu Qingyi asked.

"Er Ya Zi and Gu Lin's father are brothers. Er Ya Zi wanted to take advantage of him, but he's a scoundrel. How could Gu Lin, a top student, possibly let him get away with it?" Gu Xiao Shan said.

Gu Xiaojiao nodded and said, "I don't know Gu Lin, but I do know this Er Ya Zi. She beats her wife when she's drunk, beats her son for no reason, and is lazy and shirks her duties. She's hated by everyone."

"Dinner is ready, come and eat," said Mother Gu.

"Let's eat first. After we finish eating, we'll go visit Er Yazi's family," Gu Qingyi said.

After finishing their meal, they each drank tea.

Gu Qingyi and Yanran went out with their teacups, while Gu Bai, Lao Wangba, and Zhuge Buliang drank tea in the courtyard.

"If you have nothing to do, you can take a walk around the village, or go to my pigsty." Gu Xiaojiao glanced at his phone: "My sister-in-law said that when she was feeding the pigs yesterday, she heard footsteps, but didn't see anyone, only high heel shoe prints."

"Your pigs?" Old Wangba took a sip of tea, squinted, and said, "Those two little piglets, what else do they want?"

You don't actually want Eighth Master to raise pigs for you, do you?

"I'm just giving you a suggestion," Gu Xiaojiao said.

Gu Bai glanced at Old Wangba: "There are road construction workers living over there, and a few of them are acting strangely. They have a very strong presence, and they might be martial artists. Didn't you notice?"

"Found it, they've placed a medium." Zhang Qingguan picked at his ear. "But about the footprints, I really didn't hear anything. Come to think of it, monsters shouldn't leave footsteps, right?"

"It's too obvious. It's probably just someone who's eyeing your pig."

At this point, Old Wangba picked up the teapot: "Uncle Ba will go take a look."

"Zhang Qingguan, you go with him," Gu Bai said.

"He can go, it's not far." Zhang Qingguan was too lazy to move.

"It's late at night, and the old turtle isn't worried about running around like that, but what if the villagers see him? That would be terrible!"

Gu Bai rolled his eyes.

The old turtle's supernatural abilities were limited to Gu Xiaojiao and his cousin and his wife, who always traveled by car or hid inside Zhang Qingguan's body.

Seeing a turtle strolling around in the middle of the night isn't exactly frightening, but such a large turtle is sure to attract attention.

Zhang Qingguan then got up and followed, saying, "I'll go take a look; I can't just eat your food for free."

After they all left, Zhuge Buliang stood up and said, "Eldest brother, third brother? Could you help this old man brush his teeth?"

"Didn't you get beaten up today?" Gu Xiaojiao asked in surprise.

"Damn it, how could I possibly know how many times he beats me a day? It's not like it's a fixed time or a fixed number of times." Zhuge Buliang felt very aggrieved.

Others are cunning, running around everywhere, doing great things.

He tried to cheat, but instead got beaten every day. Who could he complain to?

Shen Gongbao is also unreliable; he never manages to find out anything.

The two stood up and followed Zhuge Buliang into the bathroom.

Everything was fine, and there were no abnormalities even after Zhuge Buliang finished brushing his teeth.

Gu Xiaojiao finished brushing her teeth and left, while Gu Bai was the last to leave, not in a hurry.

He looked in the mirror, and Tai Sui asked curiously, "What, you want to fight it?"

"Let's conduct an experiment."

Gu Bai pondered for a moment, then turned on the hot water. After the mirror was covered in fog, he turned on his phone to record video, placed it on the sink, and wrote two words on the mirror: Gu Lin.

After finishing writing, I closed the door and hid outside.

After waiting for a while, Gu Bai opened the door, took the phone, and looked at the blurry screen. It hadn't captured anything, but it had also captured everything.

Tai Sui said, "There's nothing there."

Gu Bai said, "Doesn't this just prove that there is a similar one? It appeared as soon as I wrote down the ancient forest."

Tai Sui exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't feel anything just now!"

Gu Bai pondered, "There must have been something tampered with inside this mirror. It's just that he's very powerful and he did it discreetly. We didn't reveal our strength, so we didn't notice anything unusual."
