Chapter 499 Bai Jiu Overcame the Obstacles in His Heart
Zhuo Yichen was standing by the pond when he suddenly saw a locked courtyard in the corner of the garden. He pointed at it and asked Butler Wang, "What is that place? Why is it locked?"
Steward Wang looked in the direction of Zhuo Yichen's finger and was immediately shocked. "That place, that place is where some sundries are stored. Later, because there were always accidents, the master had it sealed off."
Zhuo Yichen felt something was wrong and was about to walk over there when he was stopped by Butler Wang.
"Your Highness, there's nothing to see over there! They're just some old, broken things that the servants in the mansion have thrown there, waiting to be taken away all at once."
Zhuo Yichen looked at Butler Wang, who had a wandering look in his eyes and had been trying to stop him, and felt that there must be a big secret. He immediately ignored Butler Wang's obstruction and walked straight towards that place.
"Your Highness the Wing King! Your Highness the Wing King!"
After all, Butler Wang was too old and not as young and strong as Zhuo Yichen. After a few steps, he was left behind by Zhuo Yichen.
Zhuo Yichen stood at the gate of the abandoned courtyard. Before he opened the locked gate, he already smelled a foul odor inside.
Zhuo Yichen cut the iron lock on the gate with the Cloud Light Sword in two or three strokes and pushed the door open. What came into view was a yard full of weeds, broken tables and chairs placed everywhere, and occasionally a few fat rats could be seen running through it.
Zhuo Yichen followed the foul smell to a dry well. He leaned over to look, but a big hand covered his eyes. A familiar smell came from his nose.
"Zhao Yuanzhou!"
Zhuo Yichen pulled his hands away from his eyes and turned around to see that it was Zhao Yuanzhou, who was supposed to be investigating outside the town with Pei Sijing.
Zhuo Yichen looked behind Zhao Yuanzhou but didn't see Pei Sijing. "Zhao Yuanzhou, didn't you go to the pond outside the town to investigate with Pei Sijing? Why are you alone? Where is Pei Sijing?"
"Master Pei is there with Bai Jiu and the other three kids, so he doesn't need me anymore. That's why I came to find you, Master Xiao Zhuo!"
In fact, it was because Ying Lei and Bai Jiu came to him to ask for an explanation at the instigation of Pei Siheng, the sesame dumpling, but he had already guessed who the culprit was in this bride case, so he left the mess to Pei Sijing and ran away.
"Zhao Yuanzhou! If you have the guts, don't go back to the Demon Collection Division! Otherwise, I'll add ten times the amount of Coptis chinensis concentrated juice to your medicine!"
"Zhao Yuanzhou! If you have the guts, don't eat the food I cook!"
Bai Jiu and Ying Lei just arrived at the pond and saw Zhao Yuanzhou and Pei Sijing standing by the pond. As soon as they called out Zhao Yuanzhou's name, they saw him turn around and run away.
The two men immediately roared in anger, but seeing that Zhao Yuanzhou had disappeared, they could only rage helplessly.
Pei Siheng didn't care about Zhao Yuanzhou or anything like that. In his eyes and heart, there was only his sister Pei Sijing.
"Sister! Next time, Huan, don't leave me again!"
Pei Siheng stood in front of Pei Sijing and looked at her aggrievedly.
Pei Sijing looked at Pei Siheng, who was crying out of grievance, and thought that something might have happened to him in Liushui Town. She pulled Pei Siheng and touched him up and down, fearing that her brother might make a bloody hole if he was not careful.
"Has something happened to Ah Huan? Tell me and I'll help you vent your anger!"
After Ying Lei and Bai Jiu finally got enough of the scolding, they came to Pei Sijing together.
"Sister Pei, what should we do next?"
"Master Pei, what should we do next?"
After Pei Sijing checked that her brother had no problems, she saw two children standing in front of her.
Pei Sijing instantly understood why Zhuo Yichen was either beating Zhao Yuanzhou or on his way to beat him.
"Zhao Yuanzhou said that there might be some clues left on the bodies of the brides. He asked us to go to the charity cemetery first, and he would go find Master Zhuo and Wen Xiao."
Bai Jiu immediately thought of something. He quickly pulled the excited Ying Lei and looked at Pei Sijing with an awkward smile, "Sister Pei, I think! Ying Lei and I should go back to the inn and wait for you! We won't go to this charity cemetery!"
Ying Lei looked at Bai Jiu strangely, "Why don't we go? We are also part of the demon-collecting team, so we should contribute our part! Otherwise, do you want Zhao Yuanzhou to always say that we are freeloaders?"
Bai Jiu looked at Ying Lei who suddenly jumped out of his side, and desperately pinched the soft flesh on Ying Lei's arm, "Where are you from? What is Yizhuang? What's so good about it? If you have the time, you might as well come back with me and prepare dinner!"
Ying Lei had only heard them mention Yizhuang, but had never actually been there. "Yizhuang should be a manor! From what Lord Pei said, it's probably a temporary resting place for those strangers who died in a foreign land."
Yinglei is a little mountain god who is somewhat compassionate. He has the greatest respect for the deceased, especially for strangers who died in a foreign land. How regrettable it must be for them not to see their loved ones for the last time before they die!
"Besides the people who died in a foreign land, there are also unclaimed corpses, all of which are highly decomposed and smelly!"
Bai Jiu was a doctor, and although he had learned some autopsy techniques from Gong Yuanzheng, the bodies were still warm after all, as they had just died. What were the bodies in the funeral home now? They were all rotten, stinking bodies, and even limp bodies with sticky corpse fluid.
"Xiao Jiu, you are a doctor, but the bodies of those deceased people were once living people. They would get sick and come back to see the doctor. You can't despise them just because they no longer have a breath of life!"
Ying Lei looked at Bai Jiu in front of him, and a surge of anger surged in his heart. He saw the obvious disgust and fear on Bai Jiu's face, which made him feel a little annoyed.
However, when he thought that Bai Jiu was timid and it would be a very difficult task for him to examine the bodies that had long been dead, Ying Lei's anger subsided a little.
He took a deep breath and decided to persuade Bai Jiu in a gentle tone. Ying Lei said to Bai Jiu earnestly: "Xiao Jiu, since you have made up your mind to join our demon hunting team, you must understand that situations like this will definitely not be rare in the future."
He paused, and then continued, "Before, Master Xiao Zhuo didn't have the heart to let you get involved in these things because you were still young, so he never let you work with the coroner of the Monster Collection Bureau. But now you are no longer a child, and in a few months, you will become an adult. Do you still plan to keep avoiding like this?"
Ying Lei's voice revealed a hint of helplessness, "Do you want to be like before, unable to help Master Xiao Zhuo at all, and can only watch from the sidelines while each of us has our own things to do, and you always stay where you are?"
Ying Lei finally used Zhuo Yichen to stimulate Bai Jiu, "Do you want to hide behind Master Xiao Zhuo forever and be a useless person protected by others? Do you want Master Xiao Zhuo to look down on you and think that it was a wrong choice for him to bring you into the team?"
Bai Jiu suddenly raised his voice, "How can this be possible! I don't want Brother Xiao Zhuo to look down on me!"
Bai Jiu said as he turned around and strode towards the charity cemetery. He looked very heroic and confident, but in fact, only Bai Jiu himself knew how insecure he was inside!
