CH 269

In the stunned eyes of Lv Juren and Luo Juanhua, Li Huowang's figure gradually floated up from the ground.

With a solemn expression, he glanced at the silver in the other's hand and said, "It looks like he was threatened by someone. It's none of your business now."

After speaking, he turned around and pushed open the door to leave.

Li Huowang pushed open the door and hid his ethereal body color back into the ground, returning to the chef's room.

He was no different from before, still wrapped in a blanket, trembling as he looked around through the paper windows.

Compared to the previous woman, the biggest difference on him was that there was no smell of blood.

Just as Li Huowang was peeking, the chef suddenly raised his hands and directly inserted them into his cotton pants, with a fierce expression as he fumbled around.

Seeing this scene, Li Huowang frowned and turned away.

This time, he found the waiter again, but he nervously wiped the table while looking towards the residence of the Lv family.

The fat man was right, the people in Pishi County were all nervous wrecks, and their complexions were indeed poor.

Seeing that he couldn't find the information he wanted in this inn, Li Huowang lifted his foot and walked towards the pouring rain outside.

However, he had only taken a few steps when an old man wearing a raincoat, wooden clogs, and a conical hat walked towards him.

When he looked in Li Huowang's direction, his eyes suddenly widened to the maximum, accompanied by a scream that was horrific, and he fainted in the rainwater.

"He can see me? How can he see me?" Li Huowang, stunned, looked down at his body and found that there was indeed nothing there.

Suddenly, Li Huowang realized that his ethereal body color had been moved to the ground. Although it couldn't be seen, his body was still there and could touch things.

Now that it was raining everywhere outside, there was just an empty space for him to stand without rain. This was too strange.

No wonder the old man was suddenly scared. If it were him, he would have been scared too.

When he saw that people on the street had already heard the sound and were looking towards the old man, Li Huowang shrank his body and returned to the inn. "This won't work. I'll wait until the rain stops."

Inside the Lv family's residence, even though Li Huowang had left, they were still discussing.

"Oh my god! Little Daoist can use wall-penetrating technique!" Luo Juanhua's eyes widened.

"Panic and fuss, it's none of your business! Behave." Lv Zhuangyuan said with a stern face, then turned and walked towards his young son sitting on the bed.He reached out his hand and carefully touched his head, "Xiucai, did you see that? This supernatural power is so powerful, you have to learn it well. If you really learn how to pass through walls, there's nothing you can't do in the future."

The awakened Lv Xiucai glared at his own father with a cannibalistic look in his eyes. If it weren't for his older brother following behind, he would have spewed out what he wanted to say.

"Old man! Don't bother me! I'm busy!" Lv Xiucai closed his eyes again.

Watching his son's completely changed personality, Lv Zhuangyuan sighed lightly and sat down next to him, smoking a dry cigarette.

In the past, he had always used beating to solve problems with his son, but when it didn't work on his own son, Lv Zhuangyuan didn't know how to teach him.

It rained all night in Pi County. The next day, although the sky was overcast, the rain had finally stopped.

Li Huowang, who woke up early, walked out of the inn wearing a straw raincoat and walked among the sporadically appearing Pi County residents, who still showed fear when they saw him.

He looked like he was walking aimlessly on the road, but Li Huowang kept circling around and headed towards the largest mansion in the county town, the yamen where the county magistrate held court.

Yesterday, while he was sleeping, he had already chosen his target.

If there was any place where it was most likely to find out what happened in Pi County, it would definitely be the yamen that managed the entire county.

"I'm being followed." Li Huowang, unsurprisingly, noticed the two men in blue clothes behind him as he turned a corner.

Their faces were as bad as everyone else's, their lips were purple from the cold, and two black bags under their eyes hung heavily on their faces, staring directly at Li Huowang's back.

Li Huowang pretended not to notice anything and turned directly into the corner.

Just as the two catchers quickened their pace and quickly arrived at the corner, they were stunned to find that there was no one in the alley.

"Old Wu, we lost him. What should we do?" The younger catcher looked at the older catcher with a difficult expression.

The old catcher looked at the ground with an uncertain expression for a moment, then waved his hand, "Let's go!"

Li Huowang, who was sitting on the wall and hiding, watched them leave. When he couldn't see their backs anymore, he turned around and flipped over the wall, slowly approaching his destination on the other side.

As far as Li Huowang knew, there was usually a county chronicle that recorded major events that occurred in each county. And that was Li Huowang's goal.Li Huowang in invisible state felt like he had entered a deserted place within the entire yamen and quickly found what he was looking for.

"In the summer of the year of Zi Chou, in the fourth month of Xinsi, a great disaster...the people resorted to cannibalism..."

"In the year of Wu Wu, on the day of Jingzhe, the heavenly dog ate the sun..."

Li Huowang flipped through the pages one by one until he reached the latest note and found that the most recent record was two years ago, and it was about Dafeng County?

"How is this possible? Everyone in the county was scared like this, but the county magistrate didn't even record anything? Or was he deliberately concealing it?"

Just as Li Huowang was pondering, he suddenly heard a painful scream from a child.

Li Huowang's heart tightened, he closed the county chronicle in his hand, put it back in its place, and carefully followed the sound at a slow pace.

His keen hearing allowed him to hear more clearly, and among the crying and shouting, there was a child's words. "Dad...it hurts...Mom...don't..."

After walking for a while, Li Huowang had already arrived outside the firewood room where the sound was coming from. At this time, the sound had become clear.

"Dad!! Don't pull it, don't pull!! Wah wah wah~ Mom~ it hurts, it hurts..." The voice of the boy was extremely miserable, as if he was being tortured.

"This should be the child that Old Maike mentioned who was beaten before, right?" Li Huowang secretly approached the paper window, licked his finger, and carefully made a hole in the window.

When Li Huowang's eyes looked inside through the hole, his pupils suddenly shrank to the smallest size.

Find the original at "pawread dot com".

He saw a boy who was only seven or eight years old, with snot and tears streaming down his face, tied to a pillar naked and looking very pitiful.

Standing beside him were a man and a woman, looking at their faces full of pity, and judging from their appearance, they should be the parents of this child.

Although they couldn't bear it, they used an iron clamp to tightly clamp the lower body of the child and tremblingly pulled it outwards with force.

Instantly, the boy let out an extremely piercing scream, and his tied body kept bouncing.

This scene made Li Huowang's eyes twitch. The pain was probably almost as bad as the torture he had endured.
