Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

"Don't be afraid, come here. It's just a weasel that was scared to death. It's nothing serious. Wearing a hat was probably an accident."

The weasel, illuminated by the flashlight, was stiff all over, its dark eyes having turned grayish-white.

What's even more terrifying is the trace of blood at the corner of the weasel's eye.

However, it was precisely because of the bloodstains that Lu Weiguo made his judgment.

"See! I told you, there can't be ghosts. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, ghosts and monsters can't become spirits."

Could it be that Wu Jian's ghostly antics have possessed the weasel?

After Huang Guangzu made this joke, everyone fell silent again.

Yes, it couldn't be Wu Jian possessing him, could it? We've heard of that before.

Thinking of this, everyone started smoking heavily.

He kept taking bites and bites without stopping.

"Village chief, this should be Wu Jian. There's also the remains of a red deer over there, almost exactly the same as what Wang Laonian said. Should we call the police or ask Old Mrs. Chang to take a look?"

Several village officials gathered around Huang Guangzu.

Apart from Lu Weiguo, who squatted in front of the weasel and kept observing it, the others tried to get as far away from the thing as possible.

He said the story about the weasel being scared to death was also made up.

However, he wasn't afraid at all. The weasel was eerie, but so was he, the reborn one.

The strangest thing in the world happened to him; what's so scary about him?

"Go find Old Mrs. Chang. Don't bother reporting it to the higher-ups. It's no use. It's better to bury her sooner so she can rest in peace."

People in this era mostly think that it's better to avoid trouble.

If there's anything that can be resolved by the village, that's best. If the village can't, just find a few hotheads in the village and beat them up.

"Alright, village chief, we'll do as you say. A few of us will go find some straw mats, roll them up for him, and take him back."

Rural people are very protective of their children.

There's no need for Lu Weiguo and his two children to handle things that involve corpses.

Dry grass and tree branches were piled together to collect Wu Jian's mutilated body.

No one could sit on the oxcart anymore; everyone except Dazhuang, who was driving it, obediently followed behind.

By the time they returned to the village, it was already daylight.

Those who die violently in the wild are not allowed to enter a house.

Li Huifang, a woman, couldn't possibly manage a funeral on her own.

Huang Guangzu waved his hand and arranged for Wu Jian's funeral to be held by the village branch.

The men in the village didn't have a moment's rest all day.

First, they found a piece of wasteland, lit a fire on the frozen ground, and then dug a pit for Wu Jian.

Seeing Li Huifang's pitiful state, carpenter Wang made her a dilapidated coffin for free.

Fortunately, Li Huifang wasn't picky at all and just wanted Wu Jian to be buried as soon as possible.

That evening, everyone had just finished dinner at Li Huifang's house and left.

Liu Dazhuang, who was hiding in the backyard, climbed in through the window.

"Sister-in-law~"

"Dazhuang~ Stop fooling around. I'm still wearing the white cloth. Let me take it off first. Also, don't call me sister-in-law anymore. Just call me Huifang."

There is the feeling of having a man cheating on you, and the release that comes after you no longer have a man.

Li Huifang didn't have a moment's rest all night.

Liu Dazhuang used to never have enough.

Tonight, Li Huifang just wouldn't stop!

It doesn't matter where you use it.

Fortunately, the person opposite him was Liu Dazhuang. This guy's mood wasn't affected at all by watching Li Huifang cry and laugh.

If it were someone else, seeing someone so insane would be unbearable, and they would lose all feeling!

. . . . . .

the other side.

Village Party Branch.

"Two hundred yuan for a life? That's a life worth so little!"

"Two hundred? When did you say two hundred? It's just fifty. Can't we just have some fun with the rest?"

"You're a real genius, you son of a bitch. What's so fun about living in the village, Brother Zhang? Are there any places in the county where you can have some fun?"

Wang Deming asked a question he already knew the answer to. After these few days of turmoil, his chances of becoming the head of the security team far exceeded those of ordinary people.

"Defa? You have an idea?"

Zhang Dexing doesn't plan to stay at the brigade's residence tonight either!

There had just been a funeral outside during the day, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

"That slut Li Huifang, she and Wu Jian were just having a one-night stand, giving her fifty yuan is already being generous."

The remaining 100 yuan is all yours, Brother Zhang, since you were the one who applied for it.

The remaining fifty yuan, let's share it with the guys to have some fun.

Wang Defa said he pulled out five ten-yuan bills and put them in his pocket, then handed the remaining one hundred and fifty to Zhang Dexing.

However, he did not intend to give the fifty to Li Huifang.

Is a life worth fifty dollars in his mind?

Nonsence!

Twenty is about right!

The remaining thirty was just enough for Sister Liu from the next village.

Let her seduce Liu Dazhuang, and then...

Either Zhang Dexing kills Liu Dazhuang, and Lu Weiguo, in order to protect his brother, calls him an obedient dog by their side.

Either that idiot Liu Dazhuang killed Zhang Dexing for a woman.

No matter what, he won't suffer a loss.

And he's definitely going to be the head of the security team!

"What are we even talking about? Let's take the brothers out and have some fun! Anyone know how to herd cattle? Let's go to the county town, I'll take you guys to play with some young wives!"

Zhang Dexing has been spending too much time with the widow of the Liu family lately, and he's getting a little tired of it. It's a good opportunity to change things up.

Upon hearing the name "young wife," the remaining men were no longer sleepy and all perked up.

"Brother Zhang, what 'young wife'? Is there really such a place in the county?"

"Of course not, but..." Zhang Dexing pulled everyone to his side.

"However, now is a good time. The county is not like your wretched place, where you have no firewood in winter and can at least collect cow dung."

In the county, the widows or the paralyzed husbands of the elderly women have to earn money to buy coal every winter.

You say they have no jobs and no skills, so how do they make money?

Zhang Dexing became more and more agitated as he spoke, after all, ever since he was in school, he had been going there to have relationships with women in their thirties.

"Really?"

Even Wang Defa was unaware of these intricate details within the county.

After all, the black market was the territory of the county's petty thugs, and he, a country bumpkin, felt inferior to them.

"Of course it's true. I'm telling you, don't back down when the time comes. Even if it's her husband or her mother sleeping on the kang (heated brick bed) in her house, separated by a curtain, don't back down."

The more people, the more exciting! Let them hear how awesome you are!

Zhang Dexing became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, as if he were already on the earthen bed in the county town the next moment.

The crowd was also extremely hungry and thirsty, and they were like male dogs in heat.

They no longer felt cold, and boarded the oxcart heading towards the county town.

The woman covered her face and hugged the blanket.

The crowd remembered the woman's features and became increasingly excited.

Just as the group was leaving, Niu Erliang looked at the empty cowshed and fell into deep thought.

This kid has such a fiery temper; even he wouldn't dare ride in this oxcart that's been hauling corpses all day.

We're just waiting for Mrs. Chang to come and cleanse us of the bad luck.

These kids didn't seem to mind at all.

Aren't they afraid that Wu Jian will die with resentment and come after them?
