Ita Era

Chapter 41 Going Home (4)

After graduating from high school, Ding Shi became an apprentice at the auto repair shop that Wang Meng had invested in. At that time, Wang Meng was still the younger brother, and his boss was already terminally ill. This auto repair shop was not simple; it had a service called car cleaning, which specialized in helping people remove evidence from inside cars.

For example, if A kills B inside the car and calls for car cleaning, Wang Meng will bring a team over. They will handle different tasks depending on the client's requirements, such as removing fingerprints and hair, cleaning the body and car, or even faking a suicide.

After working as an apprentice for two and a half months, Ding Shi's superiors staged a slight accident, which caught Wang Meng's eye. After gaining Wang Meng's trust and taking over the auto repair shop, Ding Shi bought a luxury car.

The owner of a luxury car, driving under the influence of alcohol, hit someone and immediately took the car to a repair shop, where Ding Shi and others fixed it. The next day, when the authorities came to the shop, they conducted a preliminary inspection of the car, found no flaws, and determined that the car that hit the person was using a fake license plate.

The car owner was wealthy and superstitious, so Ding Shi got the car at a very low price. Besides being a manual transmission, the car also had an unusually convenient column shifter, located on the right side of the steering wheel. Ding Shi wasn't used to it at first, but he quickly got the hang of it. Therefore, in addition to his existing C2 driver's license, Ding Shi specifically went to get a C1 driver's license.

Kai is very talkative. While rummaging through the trash with him, Ding Shi gained a more comprehensive understanding of the team members. In short: none of the team members are bad people.

We ate boxed lunches together at noon, and the team's morale was pretty good. The conversation revolved around the world of Ita.

Kai asked, "Chuyu, why are you so rich?" After joining Latin, Chuyu exchanged $100 for 450 dungeon coins.

Chu Yu said, "I caught a wanted criminal, and the government rewarded me with 300 knives."

"300 dollars?" The others were all dumbfounded. Ritian asked, "Where is the wanted criminal?"

Chu Yu said, "There are three identities in Peach Blossom Village that can lead to contact with wanted criminals. The first identity is the night patrolman, who is the first person to discover a wanted criminal. The second identity is a volunteer. The third identity is the village chief's assistant. The night patrolman will find houses that have been empty for several days, and when someone checks in at night, they will find out that the person is a villager working outside."

"On the sixth day, the volunteers will learn about Ya Ya's living situation and decide to seek help from Ya Ya's uncle, who is a wanted criminal."

"Before the sacrificial ceremony begins, the village chief's assistant will conduct a survey of people who have returned to the village from working away from home, and wanted criminals are among them."

Ding Shi: "Yu Yu, the key question is, how do you know who the wanted criminal is?"

Chu Yu replied, "Newspaper."

Ding Shi: "Which newspaper?"

Chu Yu: "The newspapers on the minibus to Taoyuan Village were placed in the last row, and they had portraits of wanted criminals on them."

Everyone facepalmed. There were plenty of seats on the minibus, so who would sit in the most uncomfortable last row?
Next, Ritian told his story of Peach Blossom Village.

He was a member of the night patrol team, and being an honest and kind man, he diligently followed the instructions for his night patrols. On the third night of his patrol, he discovered a weasel carrying away a villager's chicken. He chased it diligently to a dilapidated house in the east of the village and found the dead chicken. The chicken was under a three-legged table. Following procedure, he brought the chicken back to the village and returned it to the villager. As he bent down to pick up the chicken, he noticed a playing card pasted on the north side of the table: the 3 of Hearts.
Mumu interjected, "I know about this quest. The players patrolling my village at night didn't find any chickens. The next day, the village chief's assistant issued a quest to find a thief. If you find the weasel's den, you'll find a treasure worth between $50 and $100."

Everyone had the idea of ​​losing billions and regretted not going further.

Kai asked, "Ritian, do you know what playing cards are used for?"

Ritian shook his head: "I don't know. I asked other players, and they had no clue either."

Chu Yu asked, "Brother Kai, did you find playing cards too?"

Kai said, "In our village, there was a player named A who heard somewhere that there was an ancient tomb on Peach Garden Mountain. He disappeared for a day and a night before returning with a 10 of diamonds. We laughed at him for bragging, but he described it vividly, saying that this playing card was a great treasure. Player B wentading him, and to prove that he was telling the truth, A traded the playing card to B, letting B see the information on the card. B then simply took the card."

Ritian asked in surprise, "How can you tolerate this?"

Kai Ge: "I couldn't stand it anymore, and a fight broke out. B had some martial arts training and beat A half to death. I demanded that B return the playing cards to A, and he asked me why I was helping an idiot. B and I had a decent relationship before, but A is a maverick, so the matter was eventually dropped. However, idiots sometimes have good luck. A was sent to Dr. Qian, and I don't know what he did, but he got two bottles of Summer Insect Red Medicine. It's said that the red medicine can revive the dead and heal the wounded. As long as you have a breath left, after taking the red medicine, whether it's an external injury or a serious illness, it can restore your health." Ding Shi suddenly realized, recalling the incident of Dr. Qian saving Sun Qi. He hadn't investigated Dr. Qian in depth.

After all four of them had spoken, Chu Yu, not wanting to leave Ding Shi out, said, "Ding Shi, tell me about your Peach Blossom Village."

"Mine?" Ding Shi looked up and thought for a moment: "It's a little different from yours."

Everyone asked, "Why are they different?"

Ding Shi said, "Only the village chief and I survived in my Peach Blossom Village."

The four asked in surprise, "Why?"

Ding Shi: "First a ghostly milk appeared, then a flying zombie appeared, plus an evil ghost, and then Master Baiyun was killed by a villain. The whole ritual was a battlefield, and not a single chicken or dog was left in the village."

The four looked at each other for a long time before Kai asked, "Ding Shi, are you playing the same instance as us?"

Ding Shi: "I should be. I am the village chief's assistant."

Kai asked the others: Have you ever seen a ghost? Have you ever seen a zombie?
The other three shook their heads together.

Mu Mu asked, "Who is Daoist Baiyun?"

Ding Shi said, "The old Taoist priest who lives in Baiyun Temple on Taoyuan Mountain is the zombie in Baiyun Temple. She is the true form of Third Sister."

Chu Yu: "No, Ding Shi, this is just a sacrificial ceremony. How did you manage to create a ghost?"

Ding Shi said, "It wasn't me who caused this, it was the groom who caused it. I'm only responsible for the zombies."

Ritian shook his head: "I don't understand."

Ding Shi explained, "The groom raped the bride, and San Niang went berserk because of it."

Mumu asked, "That Third Sister from Baiyun Temple?"

Ding Shi: "No, it's the Third Sister from the Third Sister Temple."

Mu Mu said, "You said Third Sister is at Baiyun Temple."

Ding Shi: "San Niang's soul is in San Niang Temple. Zhao the Blind Man, in order to achieve his own goals, lured me to Baiyun Temple to release Jiang San Niang, so as to avenge his grandfather."

Everyone exclaimed in surprise: "There's even a plot about Blind Zhao getting revenge?"

"Yes, his grandfather was once a servant disciple of Master Baiyun... In the end, he stabbed Master Baiyun to death while he was suppressing Gui Sanniang. Gui Sanniang exploded out of the temple, and the scene was completely out of control. Blood flowed like a river in the bridal chamber. Corpses and zombies were everywhere in the village."

The four were completely bewildered. They suspected Ding Shi was talking nonsense, but they had no evidence.
