Chapter 37 Visit
Zhou Jia had no regrets about killing people, but killing three people in a row when he went out was a big thrill for him.
At that time, I was filled with anger and murderous intent. Looking back now, I feel that I was indeed a little impulsive.
But if he had it to do over again, he would do it again.
"Master Zhou likes the bacon we make very much?" The person speaking was neighbor Lina. She and her husband Apu are spiritual beings from the world of Feimu.
Spirit people are usually easy to distinguish. Although they look similar to humans, there are always some parts of their bodies that retain animal characteristics.
Lina and Apu each have a fluffy tail.
"Oh!" Zhou Jia came back to his senses and saw that he had been savoring the bacon given by the other party. He couldn't help but smile:
"The meat you pickled is moderately salty and tastes good. I like it very much."
"Just like it." The two of them smiled when they heard this:
"We also like the cloth you gave us yesterday. We don't have anything to give as a return gift, and we can only get out these few kilograms of marinated meat."
"It's not good meat. It can only fill your stomach. Don't dislike it, Mr. Zhou."
"How could it be?" Zhou Jia picked up the chopsticks:
"You guys should try it too. Dai Lei is very good at cooking. I usually can't control the heat. It's either woody or astringent. Let's eat together."
The couple were polite and sat down one after another.
The two parties have been neighbors for more than a month. From being unfamiliar and wary at the beginning, to now showing kindness to each other, they are already relatively familiar.
In the eyes of Lina and his wife, Zhou Jia and Zhou Jia are also lovers. Dai Lei neither denies nor admits this, and her attitude is ambiguous.
Zhou Jia is busy every day and pays no attention to foreign affairs.
The four of them talked and laughed until they left.
Looking at Dai Lei who took the initiative to take care of the hygiene, Zhou Jia opened his mouth but hesitated to speak.
Now that the tree house has been excavated and a security guard has been set up in front of the door, there is no need to keep one person on guard at night.
But Dai Lei has never meant to open a tree house.
In addition, things like Fan Lin depended on the plan here, which made Zhou Jia, who was not used to living with others, a little distressed.
If he chased people away, he would lose face for a while.
There are too many inconveniences if we continue to live together.
Not to mention some inappropriateness between men and women, such as the things he picked up last night, he couldn't take them out in front of Dai Lei.
Some secrets are even more inconvenient to tell.
"Zhou Jia!"
While he was deep in thought, a familiar voice sounded from outside the door.
"Brother Han, Zhao Gang." Zhou Jia raised his head when he heard the voice, his eyes lit up, and he greeted him with enthusiasm:
"Why are you here?"
"Come here if you have something to do." Fatty Han nodded and winked at Dai Lei:
"You two are planning to live together!"
"Brother Han." Dai Lei stood up, wiped the oil stains on her hands, and greeted:
"Come in and sit."
"Okay!"
The four of them sat down one after another, and Fatty Han said directly:
"The monkey is dead!"
"Ah!"
"What?"
As soon as he said these words, Zhou Jia and Dai Lei were both shocked and looked surprised. Of course, one was pretending and the other was really shocked.
Fatty Han kept looking at Zhou Jia. Seeing this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes and he continued:
"Just last night, two people from the Ichthyosaurus Society were killed, and their bodies were found by passers-by. Do you have any clues?"
"This..." Zhou Jia hesitated and asked:
"Brother Han wants to find out who is the murderer? Revenge the monkey?"
"That guy deserved his death, who wants to avenge him?" Zhao Gang clasped his hands on his chest and sneered disdainfully:
"I'm afraid you don't know that he actually took Fan Lin to a place like that to make money. But Fan Lin didn't want to and was killed."
"What!" Dai Lei's face turned pale and her body trembled slightly:
"Linlin... is dead?"
Although she had expected this, she still felt sad when she heard the news. Especially when she knew the specific situation, she felt angry, angry and scared.
I am angry because monkeys are inhumane, angry because Fan Lin fails to live up to expectations, and afraid of what will happen to me in the future?
"He is indeed dead." Fatty Han sighed:
"There are not many of us from Earth. Not long after we arrived in Huojiabao, two people were killed."
"From now on, we should help each other."
"Brother Han is right." Zhou Jia nodded.
"As for finding the murderer..." Fatty Han pursed his lips and smiled:
"The two of us have now joined the Fish and Dragon Society. This matter happens to be related to us people, so I came here to ask."
The person who did it was suspected to be a seventh-grade master, and the person who died was a minion. Several deacons had already tacitly agreed to suppress the matter, but on the surface they still had to pretend.
After all, I have to give an explanation to the brothers below.
"Have you joined the Fish and Dragon Society?" Zhou Jia's eyes moved slightly and he nodded:
"I don't know who killed the monkey, but he did come to me yesterday afternoon and said... I went to look for him today, but there was no one in the house."
"Unexpectedly, he was killed!"
At that moment, he said what he had said to Dai Lei again, and finally shook his head and sighed, with regret on his face.
"That's it." Fatty Han rubbed his chin, thoughtfully.
He did doubt Zhou Jia. After all, judging from the information he collected, Monkey's plan was obvious and Zhou Jia had reason to kill.
But how do you explain the other two?
Judging from the traces, it should have been done by one person.
Although Zhou Jia is at the fifth level, he should not be a match for those two people, and he solved them so neatly. They were not seriously injured like Gao Libing.
Ha...
Shaking his head at his own thoughts, Fatty Han smiled casually:
"The monkey deserves to die. It doesn't matter who the murderer is, but you should be careful when you go out in the future. Don't take the less traveled roads. Safety is the first priority!"
"Yes."
"That's what Brother Han said."
The two of them responded in succession.
"Besides." Fatty Han looked seriously:
"Zhou Jia, the Fish and Dragon Society has some errands to do here. Do you want to come over?"
"Yes!" Zhao Gang's eyes lit up:
"Brother Zhou, let's join the Fish and Dragon Society together, and we can take care of each other. If you come, you can give me two Origin Stones a month."
Two Origin Stones, this is already a good monthly amount.
Working in the market usually costs more than ten or twenty yuan a day. After filling your stomach, it is considered good to have some left over.
Fatty Han and the two get one Origin Stone a month.
The reason why Zhou Jia is given such a high ranking is because he has a fifth-grade cultivation. Although he is an empty-handed person, he has high potential in the future.
It can also be seen from this point that one hundred Origin Stones is indeed a considerable amount of wealth, and it is not surprising that the thin man and the two would be attracted.
"This..." Zhou Jia hesitated:
"I'll think about it again."
"What else are you thinking about?" Zhao Gang said anxiously:
"Once the opportunity is missed, it is gone. In order to keep this job, Brother Han owes the deacon a favor."
"Zhao Gang!" Fatty Han's voice deepened and he shook his head gently:
"It's okay. Zhou Jia has his own plans, but this job really won't last long. You... think about it."
"Yes."
Zhou Jia should be:
"I will think about it carefully."
…………
night.
Zhou Jia lay on the bed with his clothes on, his hands behind his head, looking at the growth rings of the giant tree above.
Fatty Han's words echoed back and forth in his mind.
He now has very few Origin Stones left.
It cost seventy to learn Origin Technique and a dozen on Situ Lei, plus the food and drink consumed by the two of them in the past month.
If you continue to practice, you won't be able to hold on for long.
No...
I still had some harvest yesterday, I’ll check it out when I have time, it should last for a while.
Drowsily, sleepiness surged up.
"Brother Zhou!"
"Brother Zhou!"
Dai Lei's subtle voice rang in her ears:
"There are monsters."
monster?
Zhou Jia woke up suddenly and subconsciously grasped the ax and shield next to him. (End of chapter)
