Chapter Fifty-fifth: The Shadow Strikes

Li Xiao'e's natal family is not far away. She lives right next door to Lin Gang's house. It is a two-story small foreign-style building with a separate courtyard.

Although it is not as luxurious as Wang Long's villa, in rural areas, such a small foreign-style building is already far away from ordinary people's homes.

Of course, all of this was earned by Li Xiaoe’s life!

Lin Gang walked to the door, hesitated for a moment, then opened the courtyard door and walked straight in. The rest of us followed him and went in.

There were two big yellow dogs in the yard, struggling hard on the iron chains, pulling them straight, making a rattling sound, and barking happily.

"Hey, Gangzi is here, come in, come in! You guys are Gangzi's friends, right? Come on, come in and sit in the room, have you all eaten? The dining table happens to be open, so come in and have something if you don't mind.

.”

A woman in her forties came out of the house. She was dressed in a fancy dress. She looked nothing like an old woman from the countryside. At first glance, she looked like a city girl. I guessed that this person was Li Xiao'e's mother.

.

Sure enough, Lin Gang called her aunt.

"Auntie, we won't go into the house. I'm here today to tell you something!"

"If you have anything to do, come in and tell me. You haven't been here for a long time. Come in, your Uncle Li is sitting there drinking. You two should be in charge! Auntie will cook some more dishes for you!"

Li Xiao'e's mother seems to be a nice person, at least she is quite enthusiastic towards Lin Gang.

At this moment, an old man wearing clothes walked out of the house. He looked to be in his fifties, obviously much older than Li Xiao'e's mother.

"Humph! What good things can come from his coming! As long as he can stay away from Xiao'e and don't make Wang Long angry, I will thank his eight generations of ancestors!"

The old man was holding a wine bottle in his hand, with an unkind look on his face, and was sarcastically sarcastic at Lin Gang. It seemed that he didn't like Lin Gang very much.

"Haha, to be honest, I really don't want to come to the Li family. I feel sick as soon as I come here! But there is something I must tell you clearly. Your Li Xiao'e did not tell me like Wang Long said

They eloped. She was stabbed to death by Wang Long with a butcher knife, chopped into pieces and buried in the mountains..."

Lin Gang's tone of voice was also quite arrogant. He was no longer as respectful as he treated Li Xiao'e's mother. He obviously had a grudge against the old Li Tou in front of him.

If Lao Litou hadn't forced Li Xiao'e to marry Wang Long, the two of them would have become a couple long ago. It's better now that the yin and yang are separated.

"Gangzi, what are you talking about? Auntie knows that you are angry, but you don't dare to say such nonsense if you are angry again!"

When Li Xiao'e's mother heard what Lin Gang said, her face changed with fright, and she was trembling all over. She reached out and grabbed the railing beside her, holding on to keep from falling.

Old Litou looked gloomy and pulled his face, as if he could squeeze out water, and did not speak. He was probably trying to figure out whether Lin Gang's words were true.

"Let's go, little master. I've said everything I need to say. I don't have anything else to say. I will never step foot in their Li family's door again until I die!"

Lin Gang was also decisive, turned around and said to me, ignored the Li family and walked out the door.

I know that the Li family was deeply hurt by him.

"Stop! Just wait for me. I'll call Wang Long right now. If you dare to blindside me, see if he doesn't give you a leg up!"

When Lao Li saw us leaving, he quickly stopped us and ran back into the house, probably to call Wang Long.

"Don't waste your efforts. Wang Long has been handcuffed and taken away. Only a devil will answer your call. If you don't have time, you might as well burn some paper for Li Xiao'e and pay homage to her, so that she doesn't come to trouble you at night!"

I felt angry when I saw this family, and shouted into the room, urging them to save their worries and stop messing around.

Li Xiao'e's mother couldn't hold herself up any longer. Her hands were trembling and she couldn't hold on to the railing. She fell to the ground, rolling around and crying hard.

The few of us stopped staying and walked out the door. Behind us, in the backyard, we could hear the heartbreaking cries of Li Xiao'e and her mother, mixed with curses.

"You old bastard... I said Wang Long was unreliable at the beginning... You have to go after the money! Now, Xiao'e is gone... It would be better to marry Lin Gang. Although he is poorer, he is sincere

Be good to our daughter..."

"What's so good about him? He's so poor. Xiao'e is drinking the northwest wind with him? If it weren't for me, would you be able to live in this two-story foreign-style building? You could be rich and dress up like a watch every day!"

"Money, money, money, you know money? Now, let's see where you can ask for money in the future! I just want my daughter... give me Xiao'e back!"

"What the hell, if you bother me again, I'll beat you to death! My daughter? Don't think I don't know! Then she's your daughter, not mine! Who knows who you, bitch, had the bastard with in the first place! What can I give her?

It’s good enough to raise such a big family! I deserve the house and money!”

"You...you fart! I will fight with you...ahhhh..."

There was a lot of noise in the yard of Lao Li's house, and they were probably fighting in a ball. It sounded pretty bloody, but these shabby things have nothing to do with us.

Now I have to find a place to sleep for a while. I struggled all night last night and didn't sleep during the day. I have to be busy at night. I can't stand it.

Lin Gang asked us to go to his house to sleep for a while. Xue Er thought his house was too crowded.

A few people gathered together and decided to go to Wang Long's villa to sleep for a while. Now that Wang Long has been taken away, he will no longer have a chance to live in this villa. Sooner or later, it will be abandoned, so it is better to let us enjoy it.

Lin Gang didn't go home either. He insisted on following us and going into the mountains together at night to see if he could meet the ghost of Li Xiao'e.

I'm still young and I don't understand. Maybe in the eyes of my lover, ghosts are not that scary!

This time we didn't climb over the wall, but walked through the main entrance in a swaggering manner. The huge villa was completely empty. Not to mention anyone, not even a ghost. It was a desolate and rundown place.

Xue Er thought it was unlucky that someone had died upstairs, so we simply stayed on the first floor.

Fortunately, there are enough rooms for a few more people, so I just found a room and planned to get into it and sleep.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door, there was a strong smell of fox odor, which made me cough!

I saw that the walls of the room were covered with fox furs! There were dozens of white, red, black, gray, and variegated ones!

I was so frightened that I quickly closed the door and left.

This should be the litter of foxes that Wang Long caused trouble. He skinned them all and hung them up. I don't know why they were kept there.

No wonder the Great White Fox hated him so much. No matter who his family was killed, he would not easily spare the murderer!

Xue Er obviously saw it too, and was a little greedy. He muttered that he wanted to tie up these fox skins and take them away when he left. They would definitely sell them for a good price, and it would be good to make a few leather goods.

"Have you not committed enough sins? If you are not afraid of being spotted by that big white fox, you can try it! We have agreed in advance that if you cause trouble, don't come to me. I don't care about these troubles.

Son!"

I rolled my eyes at him and said to him.

Xue Er touched his nose angrily and didn't mention it again. He was probably afraid of being bitten by the big white fox.

After all, Wang Long is a living example. He was bitten to death by a big white fox. Xue Er helped stop the bleeding from the wound on his leg.

I pushed open another room and saw that the room was filled with all kinds of things. Some were jade carvings, some wood carvings, and some other things I didn’t know what they were. It seemed that Wang Long was not very wealthy.

Just kidding.

Xue Er got excited again, his eyes lit up when he looked at everything, and he became greedy again.

I advise him to give up as soon as possible. I don’t know where these things came from. Who knows whether they came from the right way or not? Although Wang Long is gone, taking these things is still considered theft, and you can’t do anything illegal.

Unexpectedly, Xue Er said to me with a playful smile, "How can such old things be counted? Now they are considered ownerless things. It's okay to take one or two pieces. If we don't tell ourselves, no one else will know."

I glared at him and warned him that these things would be confiscated. If he wasn't afraid of being handcuffed, he could take them as he pleased.

Such a big man, who is greedy for all good things, is really a thief and will not change his nature.

Even if the things don’t have owners, my heart does!

I stopped talking to Xue Er and found another room to sleep.

Let him go, good words can't dissuade the damned guy. If he doesn't change his problem, he will get into trouble sooner or later.

Maybe it was because I was too tired these past few days and never recovered from my fatigue, or maybe it was because the Simmons bed at Wang Long's house was too comfortable. I slept so soundly in the afternoon that I slept until dark, until I was pushed awake by Lin Gang.

I rubbed my eyes and asked Lin Gang what time it was now?

He quickly reached out and covered my mouth, scaring me for thinking what he wanted to do!

I saw him gesticulating in the yard outside the window, not knowing what was there.

I quickly followed the direction of his finger and looked out. Taking advantage of the moonlight, I saw a figure running in from the courtyard of the villa. It was walking towards the door of the house. It was not far away and was about to come in.

This figure looks a bit familiar, very similar to the dark figure that led the lightning strike tree to Li Xiao'e's grave last night, but was eventually lost by us!

My heart skipped a beat, who is this person?

What is he doing in Wang Long's villa?

I always thought that the dark shadow was Wang Long, but after meeting me, I realized that it was not the case. Wang Long was tall and thick, and he was definitely not as agile as the dark shadow.

No, I have to figure this out. He is most likely Wang Long's accomplice in persecuting Li Xiao'e! I have to find out what else he is going to do!

Thinking of this, I told Lin Gang to prepare at the door, and then carefully slipped into the next room and called Xue Er, planning to catch the black shadow by surprise and hold him down as soon as he entered the villa!

I don't dare to be careless. If the person who came in all of a sudden is really the person last night, he must be very skilled and may not be willing to commit the crime easily.

I quickly went upstairs and got the rope that tied Wang Long before, just in case of emergency. It would be best to tie him up too.

A few of us quietly lurked on both sides of the corridor, which was the only way to enter the house.

The footsteps are getting closer and closer!

My heart was also in my throat, as if it was about to jump out!

The footsteps stopped at the door and didn't know what they were doing. After a while,

"Squeak~quack~"

A sound of pushing the door sounded in the silent room, and the man finally pushed the door and came in!
