Chen Si then nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's perfect."
Chang Chunsheng muttered, and took out a piece of soft human skin from his pocket. There were many small seal characters written on this piece of human skin with a brush. After Chen Si took it, he recognized it was the real thing after a quick inspection, so he was careful. He took the ground back into his arms, took a step back, and made way for Chang Chunsheng.
He glanced at Chen Si, and then walked around the temple several times with his hands behind his back. In the end, he did not dare to touch the stone statue rashly. Instead, he controlled the demon to come forward, rolled up the stone statue, and swallowed it into its belly.
The strange thing is that the stone statue did not move at all during the whole process, as if it was really a dead thing.
Chang Chunsheng stepped forward and opened the roof of the temple again, and only gave up after confirming again and again that there was nothing else inside.
Chen Si watched him do these things without any intention of interfering. After he finished the inspection, he said: "Now that the treasure distribution has been completed, our alliance has come to an end. I still have private matters to take care of in the village later. I don't know what you are doing." What’s the plan?”
Chang Chunsheng understood that Chen Si wanted to part ways with him, so he stood up, put away the scroll, turned around and left.
At this time, the heavy fog in the mountains has completely disappeared, and the sunlight shines into the forest through the layers of branches and leaves, reflecting spots of light.
Chang Chunsheng's back repeatedly alternated between light and dark, gradually getting smaller, and finally waved with his back to Chen Si: "Boy, although you are annoying, I am optimistic about you. If you have trouble in the future, please remember to report my name!"
Chen Si watched him leave for a long time before turning around. Ran Zhu was standing respectfully aside, and an ugly-looking dwarf was tied to the trunk of a sycamore tree next to him.
Ran Zhu saw that the two gods had finished talking, so he stepped forward cautiously, with a flattering smile on his face, and said, "I have been watching this mangy dog while you were unconscious, and I didn't let him leave even half a step!"
Looking at Ran Zhu with a slick look on his face, Chen Si couldn't help but sigh.
Ran Zhu, who usually seems cunning and stingy, was able to step forward and save his own life at a critical moment.
But this dwarf, who seemed to have simple thoughts, could not resist the temptation and abandoned himself when the situation came to pass.
"The human heart..."
He walked up to the dwarf with cold eyes.
"My benefactor..."
"Shua——"
He raised the knife and dropped it. Before the dwarf could finish speaking, Chen Si slashed his hand with the blade, and a hot head flew into the air. Then it landed with a thud, rolled several times, blinked in confusion, and died.
Chen Si wiped off the blood on his hands and asked Ran Zhu: "I promised someone to take you out, but now that I think about it, I don't know if she meant leaving this mountain forest or walking out of the entire Huangkou Village. Please save my life." For my own sake, I would like to ask your opinion, do you want to stay here from now on, or go out with me? Don’t worry, if you are willing to follow me, I will definitely not treat you badly."
Ran Zhu looked at the dwarf's head on the ground and was in a daze. Chen Si's question suddenly woke him up and he quickly replied: "Well, I'm used to staying in Huangkou Village. I can't adapt to the life of you city people. Or am I?" Just stay in Huangkou Village.
Moreover, the folks in the village treat us and my wife very well. I can’t live without these folks, let alone my wife. I haven’t been back for so many days. That old Wang next door... No, we have to hurry up. Rush back! "
Chen Si smiled bitterly, sighed helplessly, and said, "That's fine."
So we walked out of the woods with him and returned to Huangkou Village.
Being affected by the white mist restriction when entering, it took a lot of time. Unexpectedly, it only took more than a day to come out. When Chen Si stood at the door of Ran Zhu's house again, he realized that the layout inside was exactly the same as that of the tile-roofed house in the forest.
As soon as Ran Zhu entered the door, he opened his arms and held his "beloved wife" whom he had not seen for a long time in his arms. He was intimate for a while, comforted her with the utmost tenderness, and told her what he had seen along the way.
Of course, with his tongue, he naturally exaggerated himself a lot.
After a long time, Ran Zhu realized that Chen Si was still outside the door, so he quickly wiped the long bench and bowed his waist to welcome Chen Si in.
But Chen Si just shook his head slightly and said: "If you are still in a hurry to go home, I won't go in and won't disturb you and your wife."
Ran Zhu chuckled, scratched his head and said: "Young man, you brought me this life, why are you saying these polite words? Come in quickly, I'll ask Yunxiu to prepare a few dishes for you, she's better at cooking than me It’s okay!”
Hearing that "Yunxiu" was about to cook, Chen Si's expression froze for a moment, and he coughed twice and said: "No need, it's all thanks to you that I can come back this time. The guide did a good job. This is the final payment as agreed before." , I leave it all to you.”
Chen Si didn't even count and handed him all the money he had left.
Ran Zhu looked at the thick stack, his eyes gleaming, and while he carefully took back the big banknotes with both hands, he said in a trembling voice: "It's done, wife, let's do it!"
But when he saw Chen Si's half-smiling expression, he quickly said: "Hey, Master, you're out of touch now. We're both mortal friends. Talking about money hurts our feelings."
That's what he said, but he made no move to return the money.
Chen Si smiled faintly, shook his head, and said: "Just accept the money. I don't lack it. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me. I'm in Huayin City."
Seeing that Chen Si had spoken, Ran Zhu happily collected the money and hid it, but he didn't pay attention to the second part of Chen Si's sentence at all.
Chen Si didn't care. Having said this, he had repaid his previous kindness for helping. As for whether he was willing to use this kindness, it was not Chen Si's need to worry about.
After doing this, Chen Si said "Let's go!" and turned to leave.
Ran Zhu then hid the money and ran out. Looking at Chen Si's leaving figure, he shouted loudly: "Master, you really don't want to stay for dinner?"
I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel that my pace has accelerated.
When Chen Si reached the entrance of the village, he looked back.
At this time, Ran Zhu had completely quarreled with "Old Wang" next door. He was swearing and the words on his lips were so vulgar that they could be heard clearly from hundreds of meters away.
There were many passing villagers watching, helping Ran Zhu scold this poaching man.
Only Ran Zhu's daughter-in-law was always carefully pulling on the corners of his clothes behind him, trying to comfort him not to be impulsive.
A scene of chaos in the countryside.
But in Chen Si's eyes, there was only a desolate and desolate street. The houses were in dilapidated condition, the dust was several inches thick, and no one had lived there for who knows how long.
The evening breeze is bleak.
In the deserted village, only Ran Zhu was cursing, and there was no one else.
The whole village echoed with his voice and seemed particularly empty.
Director Chen sighed.
Cui Yunxiu's choice was correct, and Ran Zhu may indeed have become the happiest person in the world.
Chen Si turned around and left without looking back.
