Seeing that I had finally regained my spirit, the expression on my face started to relax.

After giving me a cigarette, Big Board directly expressed his thoughts.

"If that's the case, then we'll put the Zhang Clan aside and prove it in the opposite direction. If Elder Miao and Gu Yan truly aren't the one who wants to harm you, then even if you're unwilling to believe it, you'll have to accept this fact."

Yes, just like what Big Board said, they want me to look for evidence that Zhang Shimin killed me. Even if I find evidence, I might not be willing to believe it.

However, if I were to go in the opposite direction and search for the evidence of Elder Miao and Gu Yan harming me, I would do it without hesitation. And just like what Big Board said, if I were to prove that they were not the two people who wanted to harm me, even if they were unwilling to believe it, it would not change the fact that the Zhang Clan was the mastermind.

So after listening to Bighead's words, I immediately dialed Liu Wensheng's number.

At first, when I said I wanted to take leave of absence, he didn't want to. I thought I had gone too far, so I slowed down to beg him.

Unexpectedly, when he heard that my tone seemed to be a bit off, he immediately stopped talking and directly gave me three days of vacation, then immediately hung up the phone!

Heh, it seems like he was really scared by my appearance just now, but no matter what, he was invited.

After his mood improved, he felt that time passed really quickly. When he woke up, it was already the next morning.

After a quick shift, we used GPS to locate the village of Liang, and without a word directly set out.

Liang Village was located in the depths of a huge mountain. When there were still 20 kilometers between us, Big Board and I had already started to frown.

After arriving here, there was no longer any road ahead. What replaced it was a muddy road. Coupled with the rain last night, the road looked even more muddy. Not to mention a good car like Big Board, even an off-road car would easily slip and sink into the mud pit on this kind of road.

We had to turn around and go back to town.

After finally finding a hotel to open up a room, the big board went to find a place to park. As for me, I walked to the shop opposite of the hotel.

GPS was just a rough route. As for the real situation in the mountains, only the villagers nearby would know. And after they entered the mountain, who knew if there would be any more signals!

Thus, after I entered the shop, I bought a cigarette and lit it for the shop owner without any hesitation. Only after that did I light a cigarette for myself.

Just as I took a puff, my eyebrows creased.

What the heck is this place? He didn't even talk about the roads when he entered the village. What the f * ck? Buy a pack of cigarettes and it would be a lie!

I sneaked a peek at the shop owner and saw that he was still smoking that so-called good cigarette with relish. He had a very satisfied look on his face.

"As expected, the more backward you are, the more fools you will find."

I thought this in my heart, but my face was full of smiles. I asked the shop owner about the Liang Village in an extremely amiable manner.

"You are going to the Liang Village?"

After hearing what I said, the boss frowned and looked at me. Then, with an indifferent expression, he smiled and said, "Young people these days are really curious."

After saying that, he headed towards a certain direction and shouted a few times in a local language. Following that, a person with a dark complexion who looked similar to me ran over.

The reason why I called it pitch-black was because the skin color of the people I saw at the construction site was extremely naturally healthy and dark. The skin color of this person gave off an extremely unnatural black color, giving off a very strange feeling.

When the black guy came in front of me, the owner pointed at him and said, "Hey, this black guy is a person from the Liang Village. If you have any questions, just ask him!"

Hearing that, I immediately took out a cigarette and passed it to the black guy, smiling as I inquired about the situation on the mountain path.

This black youth was called Liang Bin, and he was a person from the Liang Village.

In the entire Liang Family Village, there were only about ten or so families. The others had all come out of the mountains. The strong youngsters in the village could not endure the poverty there. Normally, they would already be out working before they reached the age of eighteen. Thus, he wasn't very clear on whether or not the Liang clan had returned.

However, with the locals leading the way, it was much easier to enter the mountain.

After a series of discussions, and with the help of the shop owner, Liang Bin finally became our guide to the mountain.

I was in a good mood, so I directly got up to go to the hotel to pack my stuff. I wanted to wait for the big board to come back, then head straight for the Liang Family Village.

However, just as I took a few steps forward, I heard an old woman's voice from behind me.

Turning around to look, there is a tottering old granny running towards my direction. Less than 3 meters away from me, a toddler has already walked to the side of a ditch and is about to fall down!

Seeing this, I immediately dashed towards the child. Just as the child's body was about to fall into the ditch, I reached out my hand to support the child.

Looking up into the ditch, I broke out in a cold sweat!

The ditch was a meter deep and was filled with exposed sharp rocks. It was not built with cement at all. Let alone a child, even an adult falling down inside would be enough!

After taking the child from me, the old granny immediately hugged the child and cried excitedly. The neighboring neighbors also came over to watch the commotion.

As they chattered away, everyone's emotions became a little agitated.

Although I couldn't understand the local language, I could roughly guess what they were talking about. I scratched the back of my head, a little embarrassed. "It's nothing. Just now, I saw that this kid was about to fall. I just casually supported him."

As soon as I said that, a middle-aged woman walked up to me. She frowned and pointed her finger at my nose in standard Mandarin, saying that I was a trafficker who wanted to kidnap her son, and even told me to get the hell out of town immediately.

At that time, I was already stupefied. Did I do something bad out of my good intentions? Even if the child's parents were blind, were all the neighbors blind?

When the old granny's voice sounded just now, there were clearly so many people who saw it. Furthermore, there were a few who had already rushed here before me. And no one came out to say anything fair!

F * ck, isn't the logic of the villagers too weird?
