"I made you laugh!"

Zhang boldly rubbed his hands in embarrassment. Just now, he called out several masters who had cut their hands individually for questioning and finally clarified the matter.

It turned out that these people secretly packaged the food from the teahouse and took it home. At first, they just did it secretly. Later, others saw it and followed suit. The loss of food ingredients was too great, so they couldn't hide it anymore. Zhang boldly started

During the interrogation and investigation, these people were afraid of being found out to be themselves, so they were distracted and easily injured when doing things. In Zhang Bingdao's eyes, their situation seemed to be affected by ghosts.

Yes, feel free to put this matter on hold and wait to see what happens.

Just at this time, Li Mu came and took Li Mu around inside to determine the nature of the incident.

"Don't send me off, go back, the teahouse is very busy too!"

Li Mu waved boldly to Zhang and said, after taking a rest in Tiantianju, Li Mu continued to set off. After leaving Mazhuang Town and heading east, he walked for twenty miles and it became dark the day after tomorrow.

There was no village, no shop, not even a place to rest. After dark, the place became so pitch black that he couldn't see his fingers. He found a piece of flat land, and Li Mu used local materials to light a fire to keep warm.

The firelight flickered, illuminating the area around Li Mu. Outside the firelight, it was still pitch black and looked extremely deep. From time to time, frightening owl calls could be heard from the distant woods.

If he were an ordinary person, he probably wouldn't dare to stay here at this time, but Li Muyi happened to be sitting there boldly, motionless and silently looking at the firelight in confusion.

The dry branches crackled under the fire, and the firelight shone on his face, making it look a bit illusive.

After adding some firewood to the fire, Li Mu leaned against the tree with his hands in his arms and closed his eyes to meditate. In an instant, except for the crackling of the firewood, the entire forest seemed to be quiet.

I don't know how long it took, but the fire gradually became weaker and the firewood inside was about to burn out. The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped a little. Li Mu slowly opened his eyes and looked at the fire. He added a few more firewood inside and headed towards the woods.

After taking a look inside, Li Mu changed his posture again and leaned back to rest.

Rustling…

There was rustling movement in the woods in the direction Li Mu was looking just now. In a place where the firelight could not shine, a pair of eyes hidden in it stared at Li Mu who was sleeping against the tree.

After staring at him for a while, he saw that Li Mu made no movement, so he slowly and quietly approached him, and then suddenly threw himself towards Li Mu's figure.

Clang!

A bright light flashed, and Li Mu, who was sleeping against the tree, had stood up at some point. A sharp iron sword in his hand was dripping with blood.

Not far from him, a gray-green beast lay there, its abdomen rising and falling slowly, and soon after it lost its breath.

Li Mu walked over and poked the head a few times with the tip of his sword to confirm that it was dead, then squatted down and looked at the beast's body.

This is an old wolf. He was probably expelled from the wolf pack because of his old age. Li Mu had noticed a line of sight following him before, but he didn't expect this wolf to be so calm, even after Li Mu deliberately exposed his flaws.

He rushed forward rashly, but in the end, when Li Mu changed his position and turned his back to it, he couldn't help but rushed out.

In addition to the magic weapon used to deal with ghosts, Li Mu also had a sharp iron sword, so when it set off, it fell under Li Mu's sword.

After cutting off a wolf leg and skinning it clean, he put it on the fire and roasted it.

"Hiccup~"

Li Mu burped. There was a pile of bones piled on the ground. It was his first time to eat wolf meat, and he didn't have the right seasonings on hand. Therefore, except that the roasted wolf legs were a bit unpalatable, there were no other problems.

After briefly tidying up, Li Mu continued on his way. There was still ten miles away from the next town. If he set off at this time, he could arrive at dawn.

...Yong'an Town...

“Freshly baked buns!”

“Wontons! Fragrant wontons!”

Early in the morning, the vendors in the town started shouting and selling, and as the sky got darker, there were more and more pedestrians on the road. Li Mu walked in the market and smelled the aroma wafting, and his stomach growled.

The wolf leg he ate was digested after he walked ten miles, so he walked to the wonton stall and sat down.

"Boss, let's have a bowl of wonton noodles."

"Okay, please wait a moment objectively!"

When the business owner arrived, he stopped shouting and quickly ordered the wontons and noodles. Soon, he brought a bowl of freshly baked wonton noodles to Li Mu.

While Li Mu was slurping his noodles, the crowd in front of him was in chaos, and the gong sounded loudly, causing Li Mu to stop eating the noodles and just look up.

He saw a funeral procession appearing at the intersection not far from him. The chaos just now was caused by people trying to avoid it. When the coffin passed the intersection, people moved away from looking directly at the coffin, but Li Mu looked away.

The coffin was frowning. After the funeral procession left, the wonton stall owner looked at the leaving procession and sighed.

"Boss, what's the problem?"

Seeing the boss's appearance, Li Mu couldn't help but be curious, so he asked. He just felt a sense of resentment at the coffin, but he didn't know what suppressed it.

"The guests are from other places."

"That's right, I just happened to pass by and came in to have a rest."

"No wonder, the guests didn't know something. Some time ago... ugh!"

The boss shook his head and sighed, his expression of not knowing what he wanted to say made Li Mu even more curious, so Li Mu asked him.

"Is there something hidden in this? Boss, I'm just a foreigner, so tell me about it."

"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone that I said it, I can't afford to offend them!"

Perhaps because Li Mu was from out of town, the boss looked around and then sat next to him and whispered.

The story is very cliché, it is a story about a wealthy businessman who oppresses good people for the sake of wealth.

The person attending the funeral was Xiaohong, the youngest daughter of a family named Li in the town. She was in her 29th year. As the saying goes, girls become more and more beautiful when they turn 18. When the little girl was growing up, she was still a yellow-haired girl.

She didn't worry about others having bad thoughts towards her, so she usually went out with her parents to help out, but when the Li family's youngest daughter turned eighteen, it was like she had taken an elixir, and she suddenly grew taller.

He was slim and handsome, and it was different when he went out to the stall. He attracted many young people and second-rate people in the town to patronize him. If it was just that, it would be nothing, and it could also add income to his own stall. But once he helped his parents to sell food.

While drinking, the owner of the winery happened to meet her in the store that day, and he became interested in her. He dragged Xiaohong into the store when no one was around and did something wrong with her.

Afterwards, he threatened Xiaohong that if she told the story, he would stop her parents' stall from doing business, and then threw her some money and sent her away. Xiaohong was worried about causing trouble to her parents, so she really didn't want to go back after she returned.

She dared to tell her parents that she had been violated by the owner of the winery, and she planned to endure it and change. However, it was precisely because of her attitude that the owner of the winery continued to pester her, forcing her to hang herself at home.

Her parents did not know what happened to their daughter until Xiaohong died. It was not until one night in her dream that Xiaohong told her parents that she had been raped and defiled by the owner of the winery that they learned the truth about their daughter's suicide.

So the next day, Xiaohong’s parents came to confront the owner of the winery. However, their words were unfounded and they could not provide any evidence. Instead of seeking justice, Xiaohong’s parents were injured by the people at the winery. This incident caused an uproar and the town

The security team from the police also intervened, but without any real evidence and the owner of the winery was rich and powerful, the matter was dropped. Xiaohong's body has been parked at home, seemingly without understanding.

I didn't plan to bury him, but then for some reason I suddenly decided on a date for the funeral and burial. Although most people in the town believed what they said, because the owner of the winery did have a bad reputation, and he might do such a thing.

, but it is indeed outrageous to try to convict someone based on just a dream.

Hearing this, Li Mu finally understood where the resentment in the coffin came from. Looking at the wontons in the bowl, he couldn't help but sigh, and suddenly lost his appetite. Whether he felt sympathy and anger for Xiaohong's experience, or he felt sorry for the things in the coffin.

If the situation continues like this, there will soon be a resentful ghost in this town. It would be fine if the other party takes revenge and resolves the hatred, but if he is blinded by hatred and goes on a killing spree in the town, then it will be

It’s really a sin!

Because he was worried about what was about to happen, Li Mu decided to stay in Yong'an Town for one night. According to his estimation, Xiaohong's ghost would appear at most tonight. We will see what happens then. If it was just revenge, Li Mu did not intend to intervene, but

That's all.

Every injustice has its owner, every debt has its owner!
