Chapter 2 Zhou Fengchen
Chapter 2 Zhou Fengchen
Ge Sanhuai is the one who saw Ge Lao Er, who had been dead for seven days, leading a donkey and a woman by the night before last when he got up to urinate!
Did he lead the donkey for those two last night?
This is too bizarre!
The old clan chief, his eyes still sleepy, had a bad feeling upon hearing this. He slapped his thigh and said, "Quickly go check on Ge Sanhuai!"
A group of people rushed to Ge Sanhuai's house. When they arrived, they found the door ajar and there was a fishy smell inside.
The old patriarch's expression changed. He kicked open the door, and a strong smell of blood immediately wafted out.
When everyone rushed in and saw what was happening, their heads went blank.
Ge Sanhuai was lying on the ground wearing only a pair of shorts, his body covered in bloody holes, as if he had been bitten by a wild animal.
His wife and daughter lay unconscious in bed.
The old clan chief, being of advanced age, couldn't bear the scene and nearly fainted. He hurriedly waved his hand, shouting, "Go find the master! Go find the master quickly!"
An old man, his face contorted with grief, said, "Where can we find a master right now? We can't find one!"
The old clan chief looked worried and said tremblingly, "How about... we try asking Chenwazi? He was quite confident yesterday. This time, whatever he says, we'll agree to it first."
"OK! OK! OK!"
The group returned to the dilapidated temple in the west of the town and recounted the events in a jumbled mess.
Zhou Fengchen angrily cursed, "You bunch of bastards, if you had let me out last night, this wouldn't have happened!"
The old clan chief sighed and said, "Chenwazi, since it has already happened, there's no use saying more. If you can do it, then do it quickly."
He then ordered someone to untie Zhou Fengchen's chains.
Zhou Fengchen dragged the iron chain backward, trying to dodge: "Let's get this straight, how are we going to handle the Xiaomishan cemetery issue?"
The old clan chief roared, "What kind of time is this? Your own father isn't dead inside! Why are you still bringing this up! Fine, fine, fine, we won't dig! We won't let anyone dig!"
"Got it!" Zhou Fengchen was satisfied and let the people untie the chains on his body.
The group then went to the old clan chief's house, where the old clan chief recounted the whole story from beginning to end.
Zhou Fengchen frowned as he listened. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's sort things out. There are three people in town: Ge Lao Er, Ge San Huai, and Ge Mao Sheng!"
Ge Lao Er died eight days ago, but on the seventh night after his death, Ge San Huai saw him come back to life, leading a donkey and a woman by in the middle of the night!
The next evening, Ge Maosheng also saw Ge Lao Er and the woman pass by, but Ge Sanhuai led their donkeys!
Ge Sanhuai passed away this morning! Really?
The old clan chief and his group nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, that's right!"
Zhou Fengchen nodded: "Let's go see where Ge Lao Er had the accident."
The group left the town and arrived at the hill where Ge Lao Er's body had been found. Zhou Fengchen stared at the hole in the ground for a while and nodded.
Then they went to Ge Lao Er's grave, and nodded again as they looked at the hole in the grave and the empty coffin inside.
Finally, they arrived at the room where Ge Sanhuai's body was kept. Looking at Ge Sanhuai's gruesome appearance, they nodded again.
Back at the old clan chief's house, the group was somewhat invigorated. The old clan chief rubbed his hands together: "Chenwa, you have a good idea of what to do now, right?"
Zhou Fengchen rubbed his nose, ignoring the old clan chief's words, and instead asked Ge Lao Er's son, "Da Gang, did your father have any unfulfilled wishes before he died?"
Da Gang shook his head: "No, my dad is a very easygoing person. He doesn't care when I get married."
"Does he have any troubles?" Zhou Fengchen then asked.
Da Gang said with a bitter face, "My dad doesn't have any worries, but I do. There's only a small amount left of the 100,000 yuan in our savings account. My dad and I saved it up for several years to help me get married. I don't know where my dad spent it. It's so wrong of him."
Zhou Fengchen thought for a while, snapped his fingers, and said, "All done!" He then leisurely went out the door.
The group of people inside were stunned. It's all settled? How could it be settled? They quickly went after them to see what was going on.
Zhou Fengchen arrived at Ge Maosheng's house in the east of the town, sat down on a small stool opposite Ge Maosheng, and stared at him intently.
The Ge family was having dinner when Zhou Fengchen, the town's "troublemaker," looked at them and they all felt uncomfortable.
Ge Maosheng put down his rice bowl and stammered, "Chen... Chenwa, why are you staring at me like that? Take whatever you want to play with in the house. If all else fails... why don't you flip the table and have some fun?"
Zhou Fengchen remained silent with a cold expression, making even the old clan leader and his group who had come along feel awkward.
Ge Maosheng, unable to bear it any longer, said with a pained expression, "Hey! Uncle Zhou Fengchen, what exactly are you trying to do?"
"You saw Ge Lao Er and the others last night? You didn't see your wife and children, did you?" Zhou Fengchen asked.
Ge Maosheng nodded, his face pale.
Zhou Fengchen said ominously, "Why can't others see it, but you and Ge Sanhuai can? Don't hide anything from me, or the consequences will be severe!"
Ge Maosheng yelled and knelt on the ground: "Chenwazi! Your father is a powerful mage, you must be very strong too, please save me! I don't want to die!"
The old clan chief and his group were dumbfounded again. What was Ge Maosheng up to?
Zhou Fengchen laughed and asked, "Did you cheat Ge Lao Er out of his money?"
Ge Maosheng glanced at Ge Lao Er's son and stammered, "Um..."
Zhou Fengchen nodded: "Tell me about it."
Ge Maosheng said with a bitter face, "On the night of the seventh day of last month, Ge Sanhuai, Ge Sishui, and I went to play cards with Ge Lao Er and cheated him out of all his money! Chenwa, please help me, Ge Lao Er is definitely coming to eat me tonight!"
