It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.
Chapter 56 A Twist of Fate
Yun Li crossed two mountain peaks, chased by wild buffalo and wild boars, and finally arrived at a populated area.
This is a village, but there is no one in sight. A quick scan with my spiritual power reveals that everyone is huddled around a fire pit in their own homes, chatting.
The Spring Festival has just passed, and it's freezing cold. There's not much work to do in the fields, so people just stay at home.
Following the guidance of the blood droplet, Yun Li arrived in the town and saw quite a few pedestrians.
Although it was cold, everyone's face was beaming with smiles, and when they met acquaintances, they would greet them with a cheerful "Happy New Year!"
Yun Li didn't want to stay in this small town, but after seeing an old woman in an alley asking a man to sell her some rice with her hands clasped together, she decided to stay for two days.
The purpose, of course, was to exchange for some currency of this era.
The idea came about because I wanted to leave some money for Xu Juzi and her daughter that day, but I found out she didn't have any, so I left her a gold ingot instead.
In case you need to use money coupons again in the future, it's best to exchange some and keep them as a backup.
Reaching a secluded spot, Yun Li took out an empty bamboo basket, carried it on his back, and headed towards the alley.
When they were almost there, on a whim, he put ten catties of rice, two catties of pork, and twenty eggs into the bamboo basket.
The old man couldn't buy rice. He lowered his head, rubbed his red eyes, and walked dejectedly out of the alley.
When Yun Li passed by her, she didn't look at her, but only said softly, "Grandma, I have some rice here."
Upon hearing this, the old woman suddenly looked up, then turned to look at Yun Li. After looking around and finding no one, she smiled and pulled Yun Li along, saying, "It's cold. Come with Grandma to have some hot water to warm up."
Yun Li wanted to say that she wasn't cold, but seeing the old man's thieving behavior, she wondered if he had some other intention.
When I arrived at the old woman's house, I didn't get a sip of hot water, but she bought everything in my bamboo basket.
Holding the five yuan and a few tickets in my hand, I felt a bit cheated.
Sure enough, upon releasing his mental energy, he overheard the old man and the sick old man lying in bed boasting that they had gotten a great deal.
The old man asked what had happened and learned that she had taken advantage of a child who was only a few years old. He was so angry that his face turned red.
The old woman quickly reassured her, explaining that it wasn't that she didn't want to give more, but that her family really had no money left.
As he spoke, he showed his wife the box containing the money, which was completely empty.
"Even if you don't have enough money, can't you just buy less? Why do something so backstabbing?"
The old man looked at his wife and shook his head in disappointment.
The elderly man, who had been scolded, did not admit his mistake but silently went to the kitchen to wash the rice.
She only rinsed a handful of rice, put it in a small jar to cook, and then took a sweet potato, washed it, cut it into pieces, and put it in a pot of water to cook.
Yunli patiently watched her cook, and then saw her bring the bowl of rice porridge to her husband.
Still probably still angry, the old woman on the bed refused to accept the rice porridge, and sighed as she took out a jade pendant of not-so-good quality from a crack in the wall.
"Don't be angry, old woman, I made a mistake. I'll go and find out where that child is from and give her this jade pendant."
"If I can't find out, I'll keep a close eye out in the future, and as soon as I see her coming, I'll give it to her."
Upon hearing this, the old man on the bed softened his tone, "That's the right way to think."
Seeing that her husband had calmed down, the old lady went back to the kitchen and drank sweet potato soup.
Although Yunli had a lot of things, she hated being taken advantage of, but after seeing their willingness to compensate her, she decided to let it go.
After that, Yun Li sold things a few more times and encountered people who wanted to take advantage of her, and some who even tried to cheat her out of the money.
Of course, some people give her more because she is young.
For those who wanted to take advantage of her, she simply took her things and left, refusing to sell.
Those who tried to renege on their payment were met with force, and the price of the goods doubled.
I have to buy it.
I received a total of forty-eight yuan and a bunch of tickets.
It was too slow, and she lost interest in selling things, so she left the town that very night.
What she didn't expect was that less than half a day after she left, people from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs arrived.
It turned out that the family that had been violently suppressed knew that the police were looking for a very powerful child.
Seeing that Yun Li was so young but so powerful, I decided to report him.
When the people from the Bureau of Strange Events arrived, they investigated all the households that had purchased items, and even the items they had bought were confiscated.
Some were compensated with money or tickets, while others were given the same items.
The rice, meat, sugar, eggs, milk powder, and other items sold by Yun Li were expedited and delivered to the headquarters of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.
The people in the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs have different skills and can be divided into three main categories: support, attack, and investigation.
After Yun Li's belongings were sent to the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, they were immediately delivered to Zhang Chong, an auxiliary-type taste ability user.
His sense of taste allows him to accurately analyze the components and nutrient ratios in food.
At the same time, we can also analyze the place of origin by looking at some of the finer details in the food.
The second function was their purpose in confiscating the items; by analyzing their place of origin, they might be able to deduce where the murderer came from.
However, they were destined to be disappointed, as Yunli's items were not produced anywhere in the world.
It is naturally impossible to analyze.
Yun Li was unaware of all this; she was only focused on following the guidance of the blood droplets.
Yun Li, who was rarely noticed before, has attracted a lot of attention along the way.
At first, she didn't know what was going on, but later, by listening to bits and pieces from various sources, she gradually pieced together something she actually already knew.
She's been exposed!
Now the whole country knows about a man who looks like a child, but he's not actually a child; he's a dwarf and a serial killer.
If you discover any children acting unusually, you can report it.
Upon learning of this, Yun Li did not abandon or hide her plans, but acted as before.
However, she changed her travel schedule from daytime to nighttime.
Crossing mountains and cities, spring arrived before we knew it.
Throughout this time, the blood droplet always pointed in one direction and never changed.
But she hadn't encountered a single enemy, and a question arose in her mind: were there really so few people from Jiazigou outside?
After traveling for three months, Yun Li arrived in H City, the city where Yun Jiaoyue had once lived.
This time, the blood droplet didn't guide her to the outskirts of the city, but rather towards the urban area. She was pleased, and even as dawn broke, she didn't hide in the space.
During the day, the blood droplets couldn't float ahead, so she put them in a cloth bag and used her mental power to follow the direction indicated by the blood droplets in the bag.
Finally, we arrived at an area filled with small Western-style houses.
It's confirmed, the Jiazigou bloodline is here.
Yun Li, who hadn't fought in a long time, felt his blood surging with excitement.
……
"Comrade Li, thank you so much, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do."
"Comrade Wang, you're too kind. Everyone encounters difficulties when traveling. Besides, this is nothing serious, just a small favor."
"Oh dear, what are you saying? This is no easy task. If you hadn't helped me get my purse back, I would have been in big trouble today."
"Don't say anything more, come back with me. I'm going to give your sister-in-law a good beating, and then we'll have a good drink together."
"Brother Wang, no need, no need..."
