Chapter 65: Powerlessness
After the boat sailed ashore, Li Si got off the boat and staggered towards the county gate.
On the way, there were people who knew him, but when they saw him covered in blood, they avoided him from afar, and looked at him with a look of surprise and doubt.
And one of the simple-looking men changed his expression when they saw Li Si's appearance and were shocked.
Without saying a word, he immediately ran towards him and dragged Li Si to a remote place.
"Mr. Li, what's wrong with you?" The man looked at Li Si with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Li Si glanced at him and recognized this person. The man was named Wang Daniu and was also a hunter nearby. Cao Qing and Luo Ye often hunted together.
Sighing, Li Si looked around and saw that there was no one nearby, so he sat on the big stone beside him and opened the bloody package for Wang Daniu to see.
"Yu Hu was eaten by the water ghost, and I only snatched his head back." Li Si's face was a little pale at this time, but his tone was very plain, but it was this plain tone that told such a terrifying thing that made Wang Daniu fight coldly.
Wang Daniu thought of Luo Ye’s advice, gritted his teeth and said, “Mr. Li, please wait here, I will be back later.”
As he said that, he took off his clothes and put them on Li Si's body, covering up Li Si's blood.
After covering Li Si's coat, Wang Daniu turned around and ran quickly towards the city.
Li Si glanced at Wang Daniu's back and looked a little ugly. He suddenly remembered something. After Yu Hu died, he had never discovered Yu Hu's soul, and his hands were not moving at all.
Then this means that Yu Hu's soul has been eaten by the ghost thing.
"Nie Family!!!" Li Si's teeth creaked, his eyes were red, like an evil ghost who wanted to choose someone to eat.
He also decided that he must go to this provincial examination. It was not because of the threat from the Nie family, but because he also wanted to meet the Nie family.
He must see what kind of demonic and ghost nest this Nie family is.
Not long after, Wang Daniu brought Luo Ye to him.
Luo Ye was still carrying clothes and gourds in his hand. Seeing Li Si's appearance, he sighed and whispered: "Mr. Li, it's not appropriate for you to enter the city like this. Give me the head and I'll help you deal with it."
Li Si glanced at him, then looked at his blood-stained appearance and nodded slightly.
He doesn't want to cause trouble now, nor does he want to communicate with the government, which is a waste of his time. Since Luo Ye can help him deal with it, that would be great.
Then Li Si took off her clothes on the side of the road, used the water from the gourd to clean the blood on her body, and replaced it with the clean clothes that Luo Ye brought. During this process, Li Si also informed Yu Luo Ye of the whole story.
Of course, he hid the ghost talking to him, and this kind of thing was not convenient for outsiders to know.
At this time, he could have realized the benefits of help from someone, saving him a lot of trouble.
Although he did not regard Luo Ye as his subordinate, Luo Ye obviously did not think so.
Luo Ye has already regarded himself as Li Si's subordinate, and this has also provided great convenience to Li Si.
After cleaning the blood, Li Si and Luo Ye separated and entered the city alone.
After entering the county town, he felt a little dazed when he walked through the crowd, as if he had just had a terrifying nightmare today. A living person disappeared in front of him, lost his life, and even his soul was eaten by a ghost.
At this time, Li Si knew deeply about the horror of ghosts and monsters. They were not good people, but more cunning and bloodthirsty than ferocious beasts.
Walking through the lively crowd, Li Si returned to her house.
As soon as he got home, he lay straight on the bed, feeling very tired. After lying for a while, he forced himself to cheer up and get up and start packing things.
He must go to Zetian Mansion as soon as possible during this period, otherwise someone may die because of him during this period.
In fact, Li Si was also very guilty in her heart. If she hadn't stepped on the boat, Yu Hu might not have died.
However, he quickly buried his blame in his heart. The negative emotions now did not help him at all.
After packing up the things, Li Si looked at it and found that there was still a bookcase missing to pack it.
It was only then that he remembered that his bookcase disappeared after he came back from carrying Cao Qing's body. It was probably because Luo Ye had burned it. After all, it was something that had been carried by the bones, so it was not surprising that it was burned.
With a slight sigh, Li Si was also helpless, but he felt that he was a little too hasty. He still had many things he had not arranged.
So he couldn't help but walk into the study and lay down directly on the chair.
Li Si has no idea of reading books now. He is staring at the ink bamboo picture drawn by the original owner in front of him.
In this way, the study room was in a strange silence.
Not long after, Li Si lies on the chair and falls asleep. Not long after Li Si falls asleep, a boy in plain clothes flies out of Li Si's chest and stands quietly aside. Suddenly, the temperature in the room drops and Li Si sleeps more soundly.
When Li Si woke up, about an hour or two later, he was awakened by a knock on the door.
He stretched slightly, stood up from the chair, walked to the hall, and opened the door.
As expected outside the door, it was Luo Ye.
"Mr. Li, we have reported this matter to the yamen. I will handle the follow-up matters for you." Luo Ye said with a serious expression when he saw Li Si open the door.
"However, you've been staying at home lately and have less contact with people to avoid any trouble."
When Li Si heard Luo Ye say this, he nodded slightly, saying that he knew that this matter could not be spread everywhere. In fact, just like the Zhang Mansion incident, Liu Qin also specifically looked for him to block his mouth.
This is also a way for this yamen to make people live a more stable life. After all, if such things are widely publicized, they will only make people more panic and have no good effect.
Li Si nodded, but seemed to think of something and said to Luo Ye: "By the way, please help me find a carpenter to book a bookcase. I am going to go to Zetian Mansion to take the exam recently."
Luo Ye was slightly stunned when he heard Li Si's words, but then he reacted and nodded, "Okay, I'll go back and find a craftsman to customize one for you."
After saying that, Luo Ye bowed to Li Si and walked towards the distance.
At this time, Li Si realized that at some point, the sky had become darker.
Then he closed the door and walked towards the bedroom.
