Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Arabian Nights-Like Ideas_1

Third Child Xia scrambled out of Willow Tree Village, rolling and crawling as he went.

He still held a wooden box in his arms.

His face was deathly pale, his body stiff, which even frightened the tricycle driver considerably.

Third Child Xia regretted coming to Nanshan.

The two scalding hot tablets were one reason; he could imagine what would happen if he took them back.

His second sister-in-law would definitely not want them, so he would have to keep them, but how could he store them, where should he put them?

Should he still offer sacrifices to them?

Throw them away?

He truly didn’t dare.

In his youth, he had been fearless, but after turning fifty, he not only cherished his life but also became more timid.

What he had once disbelieved, he now believed.

For instance, that terrifying girl named Song Yunuan.

Right at Zhu Feng’s front door just earlier, she had abruptly pulled him aside, and with a smile, she told him, "Let me tell you something, listen here, just while I was riding a horse to my grandma’s house, I met a woman named Huang Xiaocui. She was standing under the big pagoda tree at the entrance of the village, waiting for a man named Third Child Xia who lives in Beidu. She said you swapped the water in the bottle for Dichlorvos, and that you watched her drink it with your own eyes, even asked her how it tasted and whether her stomach hurt, cursing her as she deserved to die from her own doing. She said she would follow you forever, to avenge her family whom you’ve killed. She also said, your days of good fortune are coming to an end."

Remembering Song Yunuan’s confused, innocent, and ignorant appearance, Third Child Xia didn’t dare to look back, feeling his heart and liver tremble.

He urged the driver, "Go faster, go faster, I’ll pay you more, I need to catch the train, right away, hurry..."

The tricycle driver was even more anxious than he was.

He sensed that this man wasn’t quite sane.

The pedals were nearly sparking from his frantic efforts.

Soon, he was far away.

-----------------

At this moment, Shangguan Yunqi was still unaware that Third Child Xia had actually brought things back.

She felt that since Du Zhenhai hadn’t ratted her out, he was sensible enough, and therefore she couldn’t ignore his situation.

So she called Old Liu in the provincial city, talked about the situation, and then Old Liu called Kou Hui, the top official in Nanshan County Town.

Kou Hui had just finished listening to Old Zhao’s report and, looking at the documents in his hand, he called back Old Liu in the provincial city, speaking gravely that this man, relying on his connections in Beidu, had been very bold, doing things he should and should not do.

Listing the infractions one by one, Kou Hui said, "Old leader, I have too much evidence here; it’s mostly concrete. If I let him go, it would be difficult to justify."

The Old Liu on the other end of the phone was silent for a long while before saying, "Alright, I support you."

He called Shangguan Yunqi to inform her about the situation, and on the other end, Shangguan Yunqi spoke with a voice filled with helpless yet intense hatred, "I think it’s a set-up. Du Zhenhai has been implicated and suffered an undeserved calamity.

That Kou Hui harbors a grudge against my family’s Old Xia; you know the reasons better than anyone, Old Liu.

After all, he went to Nanshan County Town on his own initiative. Look, how many years have passed? He must be just over fifty, still stuck in the same place, which shows his limited abilities.

Old Liu, you should be aware of how my family’s Old Xia has treated you. We can’t fall for Kou Hui’s trap."

Old Liu’s eyes flickered.

Not moving for twenty years, wasn’t it the result of a partnership between your Xia family, Shangguan family, and Qian family?

He said, "Then I’ll personally make a trip there."

The Shangguan Yunqi on the other end of the phone finally smiled, saying, "I’ll wait for you to come to Beidu, Old Xia will treat you to a meal."

Meanwhile, the pale-faced Third Child Xia had arrived at the guesthouse, buying a ticket and packing up his things, wanting to toss the wooden box in the guesthouse but not daring to. He thought that he couldn’t keep it because he was the one who had thrown it out initially.

But he could give it to his second eldest brother; with the eldest brother gone, the second would be the head of the family, and it was proper for his family to keep the tablets, whether they wanted them or not.

In his heart, he also loathed Zhu Feng to the extremes, this woman really couldn’t mind her own business.

While muttering, Third Child Xia’s fingers trembled as he packed it into a bag, checked out of the room, and hastily left.

Director Niu hurriedly called Old Mr. Ji.

Old Mr. Ji informed Song Yunuan.

Song Yunuan guessed that Third Child Xia wouldn’t dare to come back anytime soon.

Zhu Feng said to Old Mrs. Song, "How come Little Nuan is so clever? She said that using this ancestral tablet could make Third Child Xia flee in a pathetic state. I disagreed at the time, and didn’t believe it at all, because it was he who threw it out originally. It was out of pity that I picked it up, and since it seemed wrong to just throw it away, I kept it until now."

Old Mrs. Song thought that many people, when young, might fear nothing, even death.

But as they grow older, they start to cherish their lives more.

People like Third Child Xia are no exception, especially now that he is enjoying wealth and honor and would be even more loath to give it up.

-----------------

Song Yunuan made up an excuse to go to the mountains and forests to move her body around.

All this time, the power and speed she possessed seemed to have no use, and she didn’t pay much attention to them.

After all, this wasn’t ancient times nor was it the post-apocalypse.

But today, when she kicked Third Child Xia, she felt a very mysterious sensation.

She felt that her power, or more accurately, a kind of energy.

An energy that she could control at will.

She had not paid attention to it before, but today, before raising her foot, she thought that since the other party was over fifty and not very healthy, a gentle kick would suffice.

As she delivered the kick, energy and images appeared simultaneously.

She felt that she could do other things with the energy as well.

For example, using energy to create an otherworldly space.

The idea seemed like a fantasy, yet it felt quite natural.

This so-called space, in the end, is nothing but a construct of special energy.

Once she understood the principles of its composition, she should be able to create one.

It could be described like this: energy is like sand, cement, and bricks used to build a house.

A house that only she could see.

Song Yunuan happily ran several laps around the forest, startling many birds, embodying the image of a woman as swift as the wind.

-----------------

The domestic issues at Grandma Xia’s place temporarily came to an end, and Huang Xiaocui under the big locust tree would probably cause Third Child Xia to have a sleepless night.

It would be just like Big Boss Ding, who went mad and then drowned himself in the river.

Who says there’s no retribution?

The same goes for Third Child Xia; it would be best if he went to torment Xia Bowen and Shangguan Yunqi.

However, she had to remain vigilant, because both Xia Bowen and Shangguan Yunqi were not easy to deal with.

-----------------

Song Yunuan happily went to collect her award money and also received a certificate, so she decided to ride her bicycle to the county town.

She found Old Ho.

She took out the certificate made by Chu Zizhou from her bag and said, "Uncle Ho, could you help me fill out another one?"

Old Ho gladly agreed, "You have another one? I’ll do them together for you; they should be ready in a few days."

"... Did they catch that person?"

"Yes, they did. The paperwork is completed, and I’m leading the team to Beidu this afternoon."

He added softly, "You’ve made another contribution this time. That guy was audacious, actually went to the museum, but since we were prepared in advance, we caught him on the spot."

Song Yunuan felt relieved, "That’s good."

She wondered how Grandpa Lin and the others were doing in searching for Old Erha; she still had to ask Grandpa Lin to fill out a certificate for her.
