Shi Lei knew what these people were thinking, but with so many people wanting this book, other than the handwritten book in their hands, it would be hard to find it.

But Shi Lei did not plan to say it. Firstly, it was because if he really said it, then he would be telling others that he actually had the [Acupuncture Jia Yi Classic] with him.

But the most important reason was still Shi Lei's own thoughts.

"Are they wasting their time? What does it have to do with me?"

Looking at Shi Lei's Ruffian look, Hua Rou laughed out loud. Then she said with a smile: "Although I know that you're not acting too righteously by doing this, why do you feel so relieved in your heart?"

Shi Lei laughed loudly.

However, the bodyguard's words from before had still left a deep impression on Shi Lei. Even though he did not know the identity of this young man called Xiao Hai, he still wanted to do something.

However, this matter required his attention.

What kind of character Huang Wenqing had, even if Shi Lei wasn't very familiar with his personality, and knew what kind of revenge he would take, at least taking a bit of loss after he leaves the sect was fine.

After driving for a few hours, they were finally nearing the county town.

He had stayed in the mountain for close to a week, and to be honest, he had already finished eating all the rations he had brought, to the point where his stomach was rumbling with hunger.

No matter what, the first thing Shi Lei and Hua Rou wanted to do after returning to the County City was to have a good feast. Then, they would lie down in the hotel room and sleep comfortably.

By the time he returned to the county city, it was already past ten in the evening. In this relatively small county city, there were only a few scattered barbecue shops left.

Shi Lei was too lazy to find the most delicious restaurant, as long as he could fill his stomach at this time, it would already be an extreme luxury.

"Tell me, what will be waiting for us in the hotel later?"

Halfway through eating, Hua Rou suddenly said while grinning.

Right now, she was still wearing the jacket that Shi Lei had taken off earlier, looking very battered and exhausted.

"What else could it be? There are two choices. One is to comfortably and comfortably in a warm bed, while the other is even simpler. Someone would be waiting for us in front of our room specifically to ask for this book, or perhaps …"

Shi Lei suddenly whispered into Hua Rou's ear: "You directly want to take our lives."

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Hua Rou instantly felt chills run down her spine, thus she hurriedly shook her head and tried her best not to think about these things.

Although the monkey brought down from Nine Links Mountain was small in size, it did not lose out to an adult in terms of eating.

So much so that after Shi Lei, who was not aware of it at the start, ordered a barbecue for two people, it was not enough for the Little Monkey to eat alone.

"You, you look like a monkey, but are you saying you're Zhu Bajie? Don't tell me that the two brothers are in the same body?"

Shi Lei asked curiously.

Of course, all of these were just joking around with Shi Lei. The Little Monkey only raised its hands in anger and bared its fangs at Shi Lei.

"Bro, this monkey of yours is quite interesting."

The boss laughed and said.

"It seems like it's been a long time since I've seen a monkey in this area. The last time someone saw it was at Nine Links Mountain, it was really in the blink of an eye. I can't help but sigh."

The boss did not ask where this monkey came from, but Shi Lei was able to tell one thing with his sharp senses.

"Nine Links Mountain? Many years ago?

"Yeah."

The boss pointed at the nearby Nine Links Mountain. Although the shape of the mountain could no longer be seen clearly in the dark of the night, one could still vaguely sense its location.

I don't know if you guys have heard, but decades ago, it was said that there were many ancient tombs inside Nine Links Mountain, and a huge archaeological team went inside, and even a lot of grave robbers followed behind them. After a few days, almost no one survived, and it was at that time that someone saw a lot of monkeys running down from Nine Links Mountain, as if they were screaming about something.

The boss said without thinking, but Shi Lei felt that this matter was not so strange.

Everything had to do with the archaeological team from decades ago. If the poison gas was really coming from the cave at the foot of the mountain, then why was there no one left alive?

Shi Lei thought back to the road he took. Although there were many bends in it, it was still able to restrain the poison aura from spreading.

But why was no one able to escape?

This was a very serious problem. Perhaps, the place they went was not the same place the archaeological team went to back then.

Thinking about it carefully, Shi Lei did not even dare to think about what would happen next. It was very possible that there were even more secrets hidden behind this Nine Links Mountain.

"Alright, we've finished eating. Let's pack the rest of the food and take it with us."

After eating for another twenty minutes, Shi Lei finally felt that he was seventy to eighty percent full, which was why he decided to directly return.

"Alright, you have consumed a total of 498 gold. May I know how to pay for it?"

The three of them ate a barbeque at a roadside stall for 498 yuan. Even when they were in Beijing, their standards were still very high.

The most important reason for this result was the addition of the Little Monkey. After eating something that weighed as much as two adults, the Little Monkey touched its belly and burped comfortably.

"Little Ancestor, have you eaten your fill?"

Shi Lei did not know whether to laugh or cry.

The Little Monkey looked at Shi Lei and suddenly laughed. Then, without caring about its own dirty hands, it directly jumped onto Shi Lei's shoulder, hugged Shi Lei's neck and leaned on him.

This time, Shi Lei really had no other choice. After all, it was his own clan and could not be scolded, so he could only let it go.

"This monkey is really cute."

The boss said with a smile.

"Hai, it's nothing much. It's just a small matter."

Shi Lei laughed awkwardly.

"Where did this monkey come from? He looks quite intelligent."

"It's a coincidence, I brought it back from Nine Links Mountain, it's not too bad."

Shi Lei had originally only said those words unintentionally, but after the owner heard that Shi Lei's monkey was brought over from there, he hurriedly took out five hundred yuan from the drawer and anxiously said: "Sir, tonight, just treat it as me treating you to a meal. I won't take your money, you should hurry up and leave!"
