After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Chapter 111: Fake Officials

Shen Nanzhi thought for a moment and said, "Let them come here to see me tomorrow. Let's prepare the raw materials and get ready to start work so that we can make money sooner."

"Okay, what do you need me to prepare?"

Shen Nanzhi took out a piece of paper and said, "Here are the things that need to be purchased. Uncle Niu, please help buy them. I will buy the two key raw materials. You can't let anyone know."

"It should be so. The secret recipe is our lifeblood. If Master Ning Wu's people find out about it and leave us to work on our own, where can we go to seek justice?

I'll go buy it right away, don't worry."

Shen Nanzhi nodded, and Uncle Niu hurried to go buy something, otherwise the store would be closed if he was late, which would delay things.

San Gouzi went to Liao Bao's house to help again. This kid couldn't sit still for a moment. In order to survive, he kept his mind on task every day and didn't let himself relax.

Shen Nanzhi had nothing to do for the time being, so he sat in a rocking chair under a tree and read a book. The sunshine was very comfortable, and it was a rare and relaxing time.

But this comfort was soon broken. There was a knock on the door. There was no one else at home. Shen Nanzhi went to open the door himself, "Who is it?"

She didn't have many friends in the county town, and few people knew she lived here, so Shen Nanzhi had to be cautious and look outside first.

"Open the door. We are the police, searching for the fugitive."

Official errand?

Shen Nanzhi understood that this was probably aimed at that man. They actually used the power of the police. The person behind the scenes was not simple.

He opened the door and said, "There are only women and children in our house. We don't see any fugitives."

The official uniforms were familiar, but the people were unfamiliar. They were not the county officials that Shen Nanzhi had seen before.

These people are fake.

Shen Nanzhi was alert in his heart, but he pretended to be nervous and worried, and asked, "Is there really a fugitive? The police must investigate carefully. What if it is not good for us?"

The fake officers did not expect her to cooperate so well. They searched the entire yard one by one, not missing any details.

Unfortunately, nothing was found. Shen Nanzhi even helped them look for it, fearing that something was missed, just like a timid woman living alone.

"Didn't you find it? Did you miss something?"

Shen Nanzhi was more worried than them. The children also hid carefully by the door, looking at the officers in fear.

"Are you the only family living around here? How come you live alone in such a remote place with so many children?"

Shen Nanzhi glanced at him and said, "Of course it's because we're poor. If there's any way, who wouldn't want to live in the city center? It's safe and lively. My husband and I are divorced, so I can only afford this house.

Although it is a bit remote and haunted, it is big and strong enough. You don’t understand, the only thing scarier than ghosts in the world is poverty.”

The officers looked at her in surprise, and actually found her words to be very reasonable, leaving them speechless.

Shen Nanzhi told the children: "Be careful recently, don't run around, there are bad guys nearby, be careful not to get caught."

"Ah, we got it, don't worry, sister."

The officer's eyes flashed: "Aren't you their mother?"

"Ha, I'm eighteen years old, and my husband's family disliked me because I had no children. Fortunately, I have someone in my natal family who helped me get a divorce. How could I have such a big child?"

"Then these children..."

"I have no children, and I hope most that I will have children who will be filial to me. Naturally, I have to plan for the future. They are all beggars, and I adopted them."

The officer did not continue questioning. "We are leaving now. If you see any strangers, remember to report to the authorities. Be careful. The fugitive is extremely vicious and will kill you to silence you. You must catch him as soon as possible to be safe."

Shen Nanzhi nodded continuously: "We will definitely do it. How about we go hide at a relative's house? It's scary what you say."

"It's okay if there are relatives who can hide there."

The leading official had a baby face and dimples when he smiled, making him look like a young man from a wealthy family. It was a waste of his talent to be an official.

He might be a fake official, or maybe a killer. As expected, killers need a pretty face to deceive people and hit the target with one strike.

Shen Nanzhi looked at him a few more times, which made the killer frown. This woman actually stared at a man. Could she be a fickle woman?

No wonder she divorced her husband's family. I'm afraid she is not a peaceful person.

Thinking of this, there was a hint of impatience in his eyes, "If you want to leave, leave quickly. We will continue the search for your safety."

Shen Nanzhi curled his lips. Men are all very narcissistic. If they look at you a few more times, you think they like you. What kind of person are you?

"Okay, then how many days can we hide before we can come back?"

"Five days."

If we can't find anyone in five days, there's no need to continue wasting time.

Shen Nanzhi went back to the house, took little Niuniu out and stuffed her into the backpack. She also packed up the clothes and food in the kitchen, and she was just short of moving the bedding away.

The round-faced officer said, "Not really? I'm just staying for a few days, but you're making it like you're moving house."

"You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you run a household. There are so many people in my family, and it would be a bother for my relatives to go there. I have to prepare food myself, right?

You guys should investigate quickly and catch the fugitive as soon as possible so that we can go home.

Don't damage anything in the house. It's worth a fortune. If you damage anything, you have to pay for it. Otherwise, I'll go to the county magistrate to file a complaint."

Shen Nanzhi didn't treat the round-faced official in a good mood, which attracted strange looks from other officials. As soon as she left, they started to make a noise: "Ye Xiao, you shouldn't be so cold to me. I'm angry."

Night Owl was both angry and amused: "No wonder people often say that women and villains are hard to raise. I didn't say anything, but this woman suddenly became so hostile to me."

"Maybe he wants you to comfort him, haha..."

Night Owl said impatiently: "Stop laughing, hurry up and find the person. We must find the person alive or the body dead. If we can't find the person, we will all be punished."

Everyone's faces looked grim. Thinking of the punishments, they couldn't help but shiver and showed fear.

Shen Nanzhi took the children to the Niu family and asked Aunt Niu to rent a house for them to live in first. When she learned that there were officials on duty, Aunt Niu had no choice but to quickly settle them down.

Fortunately, it was summer and easy to deal with, so we settled in quickly. If Shen Nanzhi hadn't been afraid of suspicion, he would have stayed in the inn for a few days.

The children of the Niu family were the happiest. With more friends to play with, they quickly became friends and Shen Nanzhi no longer needed to worry about them.

Children in ancient times were really hardy. They would run around the streets and play by themselves without the need for adults to worry about them.

Shen Nanzhi went to see Liao Baojia again. San Gouzi was busy wiping the table and pouring tea.

"Sister Shen, why are you here so late?"

"San Gouzi, stay at Uncle Niu's house tonight. We have a fugitive there and the police are searching for him. You can't go back for the time being."

Liao Baojia said, "No need, just live in my house. My house is mine anyway. San Gouzi is diligent and sweet-talking. I like him very much."

San Gouzi said, "I'd better go back. I still need to take care of little Niuniu."

Shen Nanzhi: "It's okay, my Aunt Niu can help take care of it for you, you can go to Liao's house, don't worry, I will be back in the evening.

That's it, I came to say hello to you, don't go back and see anything you shouldn't see, it's dangerous."

Those fake officials won't care if you are a woman or a child, they will kill you to silence you.

San Gouzi agreed, and Shen Nanzhi went to talk to Liao Baojia alone, "Is there any mass grave nearby?"

"Sister Shen, why are you asking this?"

"Nothing, just out of curiosity. When my enemies are dead, I'll throw them into a mass grave. They don't deserve to be buried in peace."

Liao Baojia no longer had any doubts. Sister Shen was still holding a grudge, and he could not betray Sister Shen. He said, "Three miles outside the city, there is a wild forest. All the trees are dead. The people nearby think it is unlucky and have moved away.

Later, a plague broke out in the county and many people died. They were all buried there, and it gradually became a mass grave.

You can’t even pass through there at night because there’s so much dirt.”

"Okay, I get it. Go ahead and do your thing. Be careful recently and don't get involved with anyone with unknown origins."

"I know."

Shen Nanzhi wandered around for a while and found no one following him, so he left the city and went to the mass grave.

It was my first time to visit the legendary place, and it was indeed scary, with an eerie atmosphere, dead branches, and crows suddenly flying up, which scared me into breaking out in a cold sweat.

Even a brave man like Shen Nanzhi was a little scared. People may not believe in ghosts and gods, but when the atmosphere got to this point, they still couldn't help but feel scared.

"Little white face, if you can't repay me well, I will lose a lot."

She found a hidden pit and threw all the killers' bodies into it. Among them, there was one whose body shape was similar to that man. She changed into his clothes and her face was worn out so that her original appearance could not be seen. The men could then report back by finding this one, and the danger would be over.

She checked the man's body to see if there were any birthmarks, but luckily there were no obvious ones, so no extra effort was required.

It took an hour to deal with all these. It was getting dark. Shen Nanzhi took out a flashlight and shone it under his feet to avoid falling.

Occasionally you can step on dry bones, which is more creepy than any horror movie you have seen. I never want to come to this place again.

I got out safely, took a sip of white wine to warm myself up, and felt more energetic.

The thing called Yin energy is inexplicable. Alcohol can enhance Yang energy. People who do holy things will drink alcohol to maintain their own Yang energy and reduce the risk of illness.

When Shen Nanzhi returned home, the children were still awake and running around in the yard. Aunt Niu was mending clothes. The laughter and joy of the family were the hallmarks of a warm and happy family. This was the world of the living.

"Sister Shen is back. Have you eaten yet? The food in the kitchen is reserved for you. Mother made braised pork with pork belly. It's delicious."

Her daughter is a well-behaved and sweet girl. Niu Xiaoli loves to stick to her and pulls her to the kitchen.

"Xiao Li is so good. Sister is just hungry."

The children also greeted her and wanted to talk to her, but Shen Nanzhi thought it was too noisy and sent them away with a piece of candy each.

At night, after resting, I entered the space again and saw Xiao Hei and the man staring at each other.

"what happened?"

Xiao Hei barked a few times, as if he was complaining.

Shen Nanzhi understood: "He wants to run away, right?"

Xiao Hei nodded. His master had told him not to wander around, so he must keep a close eye on him.

"How do you explain it?"

Shen Nanzhi looked at him coldly. If this man was not honest, he could not be kept. The mass grave would not need another corpse of him.

The man said innocently, "I just want to go to the toilet. It's rare to see such a smart dog. Can I go now?"

Shen Nanzhi was embarrassed. It turned out to be like this.

But he can’t go to the toilet because it will be exposed. How do you explain the flush toilet?

"This is the backyard of the house, there is no toilet."

"What should we do?"

Shen Nanzhi pointed to the tree pit and said, "You are a man, and there are not many people here. You can deal with the tree pit yourself."

"Ah, this..."

Qi Yunxu's calm face suddenly cracked. Going to the toilet in the open air, he had never done such a shameful thing since he was born.

"Don't worry, I won't peek, and the animals won't understand even if they see me. They all pee and poop everywhere."

"Wang Wang..."

Xiao Hei was not convinced, so he went to the toilet pit he had dug to show Shen Nanzhi that he had a fixed toilet and did not relieve himself anywhere.

"Haha, our Xiao Hei is the smartest. I'll give you beef jerky as a reward."

Xiao Hei was happily chewing on the beef jerky, and Shen Nanzhi didn't notice Qi Yunxu's deep gaze.

Putting down the dinner, he said, "Eat by yourself. Don't worry about it after you finish eating. I'll come back to clean up. There are two quilts here. You can make a bed and live here."

"I am very grateful that the girl can give me a place to stay. I dare not be picky."

"Well, you seem to be a sensible person. I'm leaving now and will come to see you tomorrow. And remember to drink this medicine. Of course, you don't have to drink it if you miss."

The medicine was donkey-hide gelatin oral liquid mixed with anti-inflammatory western medicine. Qi Yunxu was seriously injured but did not have a fever, all thanks to the western medicine.

Shen Nanzhi went to her room, washed up, took a bath, and ate a diet meal, and no longer paid attention to the man.

With Xiao Hei watching, Qi Yunxu couldn't go to the front yard. He was also a gentleman and had no intention of spying on anything. Since someone saved him, he couldn't repay kindness with enmity.

I was not energetic, so I went to bed early.

When I woke up again, I saw Shen Nanzhi working. She was wearing a coarse cloth dress, simple but hardworking. The sunlight shining on her seemed to be shining.

"Morning, girl."

"you're awake."

Shen Nanzhi put down the wooden barrel and reached out to touch his forehead. Qi Yunxu was stiff and looked unnatural.

"You don't have a fever, so you're fine. You can't do strenuous exercise yet. Just continue to rest. Fortunately, these are just external injuries, so they'll be easy to recover from."

Fortunately, there was no poison on the sword, otherwise he would have become a corpse long ago.

Shen Nanzhi prepared light millet porridge, cucumber pickles, and vegetarian buns and steamed eggs as staples. Qi Yunxu was very satisfied with the meal, "The girl's cooking skills are really good. This is the first time I've had such a delicious breakfast."

Shen Nanzhi didn't eat, but looked at him with her chin in her hand. Qi Yunxu was used to it and smiled gently, "Are you satisfied with my face, young lady?"

"Stop using your beauty on me. Do you remember your name? Have you really lost your memory?"

"Really, I didn't sleep for half the night, but I really can't remember anything. If you don't mind, can I do some work for you in return after I recover?"

"Have you ever read a book?"

"I should have read it, but I don't know to what extent. I need to look at the book to remember it."

Shen Nanzhi nodded, "What you have learned will not be lost. Let's talk about it later. There is no rush. Your martial arts are not bad. I will give you more important things to do later. Take care of your health first."

Qi Yunxu had a strange look in his eyes. He wouldn't let him pledge himself to him, right?
