So Wei Xi was seated next to the stranger who he had just had a fight with not long ago.
After Shuo Zong got in the car, he found a coat and put it on, and immediately began to say nothing. Wei Xi also opened the two red envelopes given to him by the Lin family to study, and neither party paid attention to the other.
Each of the two red envelopes contained a thin piece of paper, which looked different from the coins Wei Xi had seen along the way. There were many crooked symbols on the paper, and there were even obvious traces of manual writing. The more he looked at it, the more puzzling it became.
Was this two hundred yuan? The price he just raised was indeed too high.
Lu Wenqing was almost made to fall asleep by the silence. He couldn’t help but start looking for a topic. After chatting for a few words with his cousin Li Rui, he turned his attention to Wei Xi. Li Rui was an acquaintance, so he took out his mobile phone case and said, “Xiao Wei, let’s add each other on WeChat.”
Wei Xi carefully put away the “two hundred yuan”, glanced at the small square piece in Li Rui’s hand that he always saw after going down the mountain, and was silent for a moment: “I don’t have it.”
“Nothing? No WeChat? Impossible.” Li Rui was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, “Oh, you lost your phone?”
Wei Xi pursed her lips: “Yeah.”
Shuo Zong next to him glanced at him with unclear meaning.
“Damn it, it must have been stolen, right? No wonder it took so long to get out without being found.” Li Rui asked, “Where is the wallet? Where are the documents? Do you still have your ID card and bank card?”
When Wei Xi heard the words ID card, he immediately shook his head again.
“Oh my God…” Li Rui murmured, looking at Wei Xi’s outfit. He didn’t know what he was thinking about, and his face was full of sympathy. “The thieves outside are too arrogant. They didn’t even leave anything for you after such a long time. You have no money, no mobile phone and no documents, how much hardship you must have had to endure!”
Shuo Zong leaned against the car window with his forehead propped up, looking like he could hardly listen anymore.
Wei Xi didn’t understand either, so he didn’t answer anything and just nodded dully.
Lu Wenqing saw that his sharp temperament from the moment they met actually faltered because of this topic, and he couldn’t bear it: “It’s okay, it’s all over. The documents and other things are easy to deal with. I will find someone to help you get a replacement after we return to Beijing.”
No matter how weak Wei Xi was, he still knew that they were helping him, so he replied obediently: “Thank you.”
Shuo Zong glanced at him again.
No one noticed this, and Lu Wenqing was still laughing: “Why are you so polite? Let me tell you that the hardship you suffered this time was a blessing in disguise. Brother, tell me the truth, did you encounter an adventure outside? Yes. Did you pick up a secret book after falling off the cliff? How did you become so powerful that you were able to help Mr. Shuo Zong wipe out all of the ghosts?”
As soon as Wei Xi heard this, he immediately remembered his food reserves that had taken flight, and his forehead twitched to the side.
“That’s right.” Speaking of excitement, Lu Wenqing became even more courageous, remembering someone in the car who had never spoken, “Mr. Shuo Zong, I have always been curious before, how could you be near Fengyang by chance?”
Upon hearing this, Shuo Zong slowly turned his head, and directly met Wei Xi’s eyes without looking at Lu Wenqing.
His eyes were fixed for a moment, and his face was expressionless: “I calculated that an evil beast will appear nearby.”
“Evil beast?!” The two brothers in front were all shocked, “What evil beast?! What kind of evil beast is it? Is it scary? Is it powerful?”
Shuo Zong said one word at a time: “Wherever it passes, both humans and ghosts will be destroyed, and not even a blade of grass will grow.”
“It’s such a big bug, so scary?!” The two brothers knew that Shuo Zong never said big words. They were so frightened that their bladders trembled and they didn’t dare to look back. “So, sir, have you caught it?”
Wei Xi was also a little nervous. All humans and ghosts were wiped out, and not even a blade of grass could grow. He didn’t know if he could beat such a cruel and powerful person!
Therefore, he quietly pricked his ears, wanting to hear more information, but Shuo Zong just glanced at him again, turned his head and continued to remain silent.
Wei Xi waited anxiously for a long time. When he saw him like this, he thought he was playing a trick on him and became furious!
Shuo Zong took out his mobile phone and saw the WeChat message sent from above——
[Wallet: Are you there yet?]
[Wallet: What’s going on?]
[Wallet: Have you found him? Was it a miscalculation?]
[Wallet: [The other party transferred 100,000 yuan]]
[Wallet: Where is the person?! Still alive?!]
Shuo Zong first collected the 100,000 yuan and then slowly replied: “Found it.”
The other party replied almost instantly:
[Wallet: !!!!]
[Wallet: We’re going to die]
[Wallet: It’s finished]
[Wallet: How are you now? Can you hold it? Is there a big fuss? How many people died? You should quickly contact the local troops and relevant departments and bring an armed team with you. Don’t fight alone!]
[Wallet: Don’t anger him either!! He has always ignored rationality and is extremely cruel! He kills without blinking an eye!]
Shuo Zong turned his eyes away from the phone screen, and with a slight movement, he saw the already irritated Wei Xi grabbing one of his arms and biting it.
This person bit his arm, bit his wrist, and then bit his palm. In the end, he seemed to like the texture of his palm the most. He tried hard to chew his thumb with his cheekbones, and from time to time he took a few mouthfuls of his Yang Qi, thinking that he didn’t know it. At such a time, his eyes would quietly tilt to the side to see if he had noticed anything.
[Wallet: Where is the person? Where did the person go?]
[Wallet: [The other party transferred 100,000 yuan]]
Shuo Zong clicked on the button to receive the money, remained silent for a moment, sent the other party a series of ellipses, and put the phone back in his pocket.
[Wallet: ???]
[Wallet: What does the ellipsis mean?]
[Wallet: Talk! Where is the person?!]
[Wallet: If you take the money and run away, what’s the morality?]
[Wallet: Are you a beast!]
