Listening to the story told by the security chief, Lin Xing frowned and asked, "Then the villagers took back three hundred taels?"
The security chief shook his head: "That man was very cunning, and he didn't know where he hid the three hundred taels. At that time... the villagers at that time searched his place and couldn't find it..."
Lin Xing looked at the other party and knew that what the other party said must be biased towards the villagers, and he didn't mention anything about the care of his own family. It was obvious that he had removed himself completely and put all the responsibilities on Taoist Baiyun and his family. on the heads of the villagers.
But what is certain is that there must have been a fierce conflict between the villagers and Taoist Baiyun at that time, and it ended with Taoist Baiyun's death.
As for what the specific situation looks like, it is probably difficult to verify.
Lin Xing shook his head and then asked: "Then how can your family control the mountain god?"
The Baozhang replied: "My father taught me how to communicate with the mountain gods. As for what my father learned, it was my grandfather who gave it to him."
"I heard from my father that the evil place in the mountain had been suppressed by the evil-suppressing stone, and Taoist Baiyun was also killed. The villagers wanted to kill the captured mountain god as well."
"And my grandfather has been guarding the mountain god in the cage during that time."
"My grandfather accidentally discovered that the mountain god didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him. Seeing the mountain god's constant wailing, he gradually became intolerable."
"Later, when he saw the villagers shouting and killing him, he couldn't bear the mountain god being slaughtered, so he secretly released him..."
"Since then, the mountain god has only listened to our family. He will eat others he sees."
"It is said that he was only about the size of an ordinary person at first, but over the years he ate more and more, grew bigger and bigger, and became less and less obedient..."
Lin Xing was noncommittal about Baozhang's answer.
He recalled the scenes he saw in his mind and thought: "The villager who the mountain god met at the end seemed to be one of the sons who sent him into the mountain."
"Is it because of the blood connection? So the mountain god is willing to be fed by the Baochang family?"
"If this is really the case, did the son recognize his father?"
"Is releasing the mountain god out of profit considerations and wanting to use the mountain god to make profits? Or is it because of the influence of family ties, because he recognized his father?"
"With all the twists and turns and hidden secrets here, I'm afraid even the grandfather of the chief security officer didn't pass on everything and the true thoughts in his heart to his descendants."
Lin Xing thought for a while and shook his head secretly. The matter may be like countless secret stories in history, leaving part of the mystery behind and being buried in the past forever.
Lin Xing lowered his head and glanced at the strange wooden sculpture in his hand. He didn't know what the purpose of this thing was, so he could only put it away temporarily.
Lin Xing then looked at the Bao Chang who had completely lost the ability to resist on the ground, and a conflicting murderous intention gradually emerged in his heart.
Logically speaking, the other party trafficked people, took human life seriously, and commanded the mountain gods to take his life countless times. He had long wanted to cut the other party into pieces.
However, Lin Xing's obedience to the law, which he had cultivated since childhood, made him suppress the murderous intention in his heart and wanted to use legal and legal methods to solve the problem.
"The other party no longer has the ability to infringe. If I kill him now, then I am over-defending? Intentional harm?"
"So what I'm supposed to do is turn him over to the police of this world?"
Although he was thinking this way, Lin Xing felt that the murderous intention in his heart could not be extinguished for a long time.
The cat doll seemed to sense something strange about Lin Xing and asked, "Lin Xing, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Xing asked: "Master Bai, do you think I should kill this security chief?"
Hearing these words, the security guard was so frightened that he immediately knelt down towards Lin Xing, kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Bai Yiyi was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Of course I'll kill him. Why don't I kill him and keep it for the New Year?"
For Bai Yiyi, killing someone in this world is as common as eating and drinking water, let alone killing such an enemy.
Lin Xing asked: "Shouldn't we call the police? Just report it to the government here."
"Government?" Bai Yiyi couldn't help laughing again: "In this troubled world, how can the government control these things? Okay, Lin Xing, stop being so long-winded, kill him quickly and let's go."
"In troubled times?" Lin Xing looked at the security guard in front of him, and the murderous intention in his heart seemed to be gradually unfettered: "In troubled times, it means there are no laws and no rules, right?"
"Is this a world with no rules and no need to abide by any regulations?"
He felt as if there was an unprecedented restlessness emerging in his heart, calling for his murderous intention, asking him to quickly attack the security guard in front of him.
The memories of being brutally killed in the death flashbacks kept resurfacing, adding to his murderous intent like firewood, stimulating Lin Xing to become even more restless.
But at this moment, a familiar voice seemed to echo in his mind. It was his father's teachings.
"Lin Xing, you have to remember what I say next."
"You must remember, use all your strength to remember what I say next."
"You must abide by the law and absolutely... never break the bottom line of the law."
As his father's teachings suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart, the restless murderous intention gradually calmed down and disappeared like ice and snow.
Realizing that the murderous intention in Lin Xing suddenly completely dissipated, Bai Yiyi asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you, Lin Xing?"
"According to the laws of our country, I should abide by the law even if I am not in the country."
Lin Xing turned around and left with the three children: "I'd better find time to report him to the police and let the police of this world deal with him."
"Ah?" Bai Yiyi was filled with confusion after hearing this: "You won't kill them? Why?"
Bai Yiyi found that she couldn't understand Lin Xing more and more. Sometimes she felt that the other person was unfathomable, and sometimes she felt that the other person was incomprehensible.
Every action seems to have a deep meaning, but sometimes it feels like it is just a simple illness.
Bai Yiyi thought about it and couldn't figure it out: "What is he thinking in his mind?"
The security guard on the side looked at Lin Xing leaving, as if a big stone had been put down in his heart. However, looking at the bottomless mountains and forests around him, and feeling the pain from his broken knees, his eyes suddenly reappeared. There was a trace of despair.
Next, Lin Xing took the three children all the way back to Jiangjia Village over the mountains and ridges.
On the way, they also encountered Scarface lying on the roadside, but since Lin Xing didn't even kill the security chief, he naturally didn't stab him again.
Bai Yiyi kept thinking about why Lin Xing didn't kill the security guard: "Is there some deep meaning in it that I didn't expect?"
When they returned to Jiangjia Village, they found that many villagers were already waiting here, and they wanted to surround Lin Xing when they saw him.
The leader was Jiang Fang, who had been beaten to death by Lin Xing with broken bones and muscles.
Jiang Fang pointed at Lin Xing and shouted: "Crazy man, where did you take my brother?"
Lin Xing said calmly: "I have killed the mountain god. The security chief and your brother are still in the mountain. If you want to look for them, just look for them yourself."
"However, Baozhang has been guilty of many crimes over the years..."
Listening to what Lin Xing said, the villagers were shocked at first, then looked at each other, and finally looked at Jiang Fang.
"Grandpa Mountain God was beheaded?"
"The security chief feeds the village children to the mountain god?"
"Jiang Fang, is this true?"
Jiang Fang's expression changed, and finally he shouted: "I will spare your life today, and everyone will go with me to save the chief and Jiang Wu..."
No one cared about Lin Xing's whereabouts anymore. The villagers exchanged glances with each other, and a strange atmosphere spread among them.
Lin Xing led three children through the crowd, and soon heard the sound of quarreling coming from behind, and then a bigger conflict seemed to break out.
Lin Xing just found the yard of the little girl's house and leaned against the wall quietly, waiting for the door to open.
He was so tired.
