The two sides were in a stalemate like this. After about half an hour, the snakes seemed to have received some kind of "retreat" order, and they slowly left outside the study at the same time.
Such a strange scene frightened Bai Hongyi a lot. After the last snake left here, he stood on the table stunned for a few seconds.
After he came to his senses, he jumped off the table and looked under the bed and in every corner of the study room again. After confirming that there were no snakes, he took a deep breath and sat down on the sofa.
It had been half an hour of life and death just now. When he saw the snakes, he remembered the workers who were bitten to death by snakes the night before. It was very likely that they died in this way.
But what he couldn't figure out was why he was fine? Those snakes just stayed in a stalemate with him for a while and then left. What was the reason for this?
Bai Hongyi shook his head. There were some things that he couldn't figure out. He took out his mobile phone and answered the duty call of the town's security room.
"Hi, hello, what can I do?"
"I'm Bai Hongyi. I need to check the surveillance in your town. I...I lost something."
Bai Hongyi thought about it again and again but still didn't say anything about the snakes. After all, what happened just now seemed like a dream to him.
When he hung up the phone and was about to leave, the fingers of his right hand happened to touch the pocket of his suit and touched some debris.
He looked into his pocket doubtfully and took out the seventy-eight-yuan jade Buddha that Mo Lin had given him in the antique street that morning.
At this moment, the jade Buddha has been broken into two sections, and the originally green Buddha body has become extremely black.
Bai Hongyi remembered what Mo Lin said in the morning. He said that this piece was just an ordinary jade Buddha, but it could protect people from disasters.
Is it really because of this jade Buddha that he survived this time?
Then, he thought about Mo Lin's unparalleled luck when gambling on stones. He could win the best jade every time. Once could be said to be luck, but twice or three times, this could not be justified by luck.
Bai Hongyi nodded slightly. He already understood what kind of person Mo Lin was. He quickly put on his clothes and walked to the small town security room. He wanted to confirm again what happened just now. qs
When he came to the surveillance area of the security room, he was shocked to find several security guards on duty staring at the surveillance video with their mouths open, as if they had seen something incredible, so much so that he didn't even notice when he walked next to them.
Bai Hongyi clearly saw on the surveillance video that countless snakes crawled into the town in groups, but they did not disturb anyone and went straight to his villa.
Now he was even more convinced that these snakes were coming for him, and luckily he had collected Mo Lin's Jade Buddha in the morning, otherwise he would have been in bad luck tonight.
In fact, when Mo Lin gave him the 78-yuan Jade Buddha, he still looked down upon Mo Lin, but he still accepted it out of education and respect. But who would have thought that it would be because of such an inconspicuous move? , he actually saved his life.
Early the next morning, Molin got up early. Today was his last day at the resort in the north of the city. If nothing else happened, he could go home in the afternoon.
He walked out of the room and went to Ye Xiaoyue. Ye Xiaoyue was sitting in front of the sofa watching TV. When he saw Mo Lin coming, he quickly asked him to sit down.
"Brother Lin, you are here."
Mo Lin sat on the sofa and said with a smile: "If you have nothing to do, come and visit."
"Are you going back this afternoon?" Ye Xiaoyue asked, "What about Bai Hongyi's matter?"
"Isn't there you?" Mo Lin said calmly: "If he encounters some trouble that can't be solved, if he can't find me, how can he not find you? Finding you means finding me."
Ye Xiaoyue laughed, it was indeed the truth. After all, no one knew when something would happen to Bai Hongyi, so it was really not good to keep Mo Lin waiting here.
At this time, Ye Xiaoyue's cell phone placed next to the TV rang, and he quickly walked over and answered the phone.
"Hello, is this Xiao Yue?" Bai Hongyi's voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Brother Yi, it's you, what's the matter?"
"Is Maureen still there with you?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"Okay, just wait a moment, I'll come to you right away."
After saying that, Bai Hongyi hung up the phone.
Ye Xiaoyue glanced at the phone in confusion.
"What's wrong? Is it Mr. Bai's phone number?" Mo Lin asked.
Ye Xiaoyue nodded and said, "He said he wanted to come to us, but he didn't know why."
"Oh, that's it." Maureen sat up from the sofa and said, "It seems I won't be able to go home for a while."
After a while, there was a knock on the door of Ye Xiaoyue's room.
Ye Xiaoyue opened the door and it turned out to be Bai Hongyi. He walked in, walked quickly to Mo Lin, and said solemnly: "Mo Lin, thank you very much for yesterday. If it weren't for you, I might have been a dead person today."
Mo Lin touched his nose and said with a smile: "Mr. Bai, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand."
Ye Xiaoyue also looked at Bai Hongyi with confusion. The status difference between the two of them was too big. According to common sense, the relationship between the two should only be acquaintance. Bai Hongyi's attitude towards Mo Lin was exactly the same a few days ago. But why was he so respectful to Maureen today.
Bai Hongyi didn't waste any time and took out the jade Buddha that Mo Lin gave him yesterday. The jade Buddha had been broken into two halves, and the original green color had turned dark.
He continued: "I know you masters don't like to be high-profile. Please forgive me if I offend you in the past few days."
Mo Lin didn't intend to keep pretending, and gave Bai Hongyi acquiescence. He said, "Young Master Bai, you're welcome. It's not my nature to refuse to save anyone."
Seeing Mo Lin's admission, Bai Hongyi was not surprised, and continued: "I also want to know what happened yesterday, and whether the workers who died tragically before died in this way?"
Mo Lin nodded and said: "Karma, all of this was caused by you killing snakes at the construction site a few days ago."
Bai Hongyi's face was pale. In fact, he had vague guesses about these since yesterday.
He quickly asked: "Then what should I do now? Will those snakes come to me for revenge?"
"Of course!" Maureen replied affirmatively.
"What should we do next?" Ye Xiaoyue finally understood and said with the same worry.
Mo Lin thought carefully about the causes and consequences of this incident, and felt that it might not be as simple as she thought. There were still many mysteries in it, so she said, "I still want to go to the construction site of the resort to see the situation before talking about it."
At this time, on the construction site of the resort, there were two middle-aged lovers in unusual clothes inspecting the construction of the construction site. The contractor stood respectfully beside them.
"Mr. Bai, if everything goes well, this resort will be completed in another three months." The contractor said respectfully.
Bai Baocheng showed a smile on his face and said lightly: "Well done, make sure it is completed on time."
"Baocheng, come and see what I found." Bai Baocheng's wife Ding Fanglan shouted to him with uncontrollable excitement.
Bai Baocheng walked over and said with a smile: "Fanglan, what good things did you discover?"
"Look." As she spoke, Ding Fanglan held a very bright blood-red ruby in her hand.
Bai Baocheng took it and looked at it, frowned, looked at Ding Fanglan questioningly, and said, "Ruby? Found it here?"
"What else? I have never seen such a good-looking ruby. I want to make it into a pendant and wear it around my neck." Ding Fanglan took the ruby from Bai Baocheng's hand and stroked it fondly.
"But how could such a fine ruby appear in this remote place?" Bai Baocheng said doubtfully.
"Hey, never mind it, we found it and it's ours." Ding Fanglan didn't have any doubts about the origin of this gem and put it into her handbag.
At this time, Bai Hongyi's Ferrari drove over. As soon as they got out of the car, Bai Hongyi saw Bai Baocheng and Ding Fanglan.
Bai Baocheng is almost forty this year. He is the same generation as Bai Hongyi's father Bai Zongming, and is Bai Hongyi's second uncle. He also has a respected status in Yaozhou City.
"Second uncle, second mother, why are you here?" Seeing the sudden visit of the two, Bai Hongyi hurriedly walked over to greet them.
"It's nothing, let's see how your progress is going here." Bai Baocheng smiled slightly and continued: "By the way, I want to tell you that your second mother is pregnant. It's been two months.
You will have a brother or sister in the future. "
"Really, then let me congratulate the second uncle in advance." Bai Hongyi said with a smile.
Bai Baocheng and Ding Fanglan have been married for thirteen years. They have not been able to have a child of their own for thirteen years. Now that they are finally pregnant with a child, they are naturally ecstatic.
"Okay, we won't disturb you anymore. Your second mother and I will come to see you today. Let's go home first."
"Second uncle, walk slowly and don't see me off.
After seeing off Bai Baocheng and Ding Fanglan, Bai Hongyi hurriedly came to Mo Lin and Ye Xiaoyue.
At this point, they have stopped work on all construction sites.
Molin carefully looked at the layout and soil here, but found nothing of value.
He looked at Bai Hongyi and asked: "Besides the Cao family's trip to the resort, have you encountered any other strange things?"
Bai Hongyi thought for a moment, shook his head, and said: "Except for the Cao family envoy's stumbling block and the dozens of infant corpses that were dug out, I don't know anything else."
"I called the contractor here. He is responsible for some of the trivial matters here."
Later, the fat and short middle-aged man was called over by Bai Hongyi. Bai Hongyi was the first to ask: "Boss Qian, I want to know if there have been any strange things on the construction site in the past few months that have not been reported to me."
Qian Rong, the contractor, thought for a while and said, "As for the strange things, there really is nothing except the corpses of those babies. I have reported everything to you."
"Think about it again." Molin interjected and said, "It doesn't have to be a bizarre incident that happened. As long as it is anything that happened during this period that cannot be explained by logic, you can tell me."
