I Just Won’t Play by the Book - Chapter 380

380 Starting Ground (1)
“Senior…Wasn’t this miasma a little thin?”

As they walked, Meng Sipei suddenly turned around and asked the masked expert.

“Although Su just now… The person who set up the formation had changed the formation eye, but the destruction of a formation eye was an irreversible fact. The power of the formation would naturally be reduced.”

“Su?” Meng Sipei’s sharp ears twitched, as if she had heard a big secret.

” He knows the person who set up the formation? Are they mortal enemies?

!!
Other than their relationship as mortal enemies, Meng Sipei couldn’t think of any other reason why this senior would do his best to help the Sheng Kingdom deal with his compatriots.

After walking for a while, Jiang Beiran realized that they seemed to have arrived at a fishing village.

Glancing at the fishing nets floating around, Jiang Beiran thought that their owners must have died an unnatural death.

“Wuwuwu… Wifey… It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault…”

Just as Jiang Beiran was sighing inwardly, he suddenly heard a burst of sobs not far away. He called Meng Sipei to a halt and slowly walked toward the source of the sobs.

After arriving at a wooden house, Jiang Beiran immediately found the crying person.

“I saw a ghost again.”

In the corner, a young man with a transparent body was curled up in front of a rotting corpse, crying bitterly.

With his previous experience dealing with ghosts, Jiang Beiran stepped forward and transmitted a message with his spiritual power.””Little brother, why are you crying?”

The ghost was obviously shocked. It jumped three feet high, and even its body seemed to have become more transparent.

“You… Are you human?” In midair, the young man asked Jiang Beiran while trembling.

“Yes, I am.” Jiang Beiran nodded.

“Didn’t everyone die? How did you get here?”

“I walked over.”

“Let’s go…Walk over?” The young man was stunned for a moment, but his emotions seemed to have calmed down a lot.

Slowly descending to the ground, the young man looked at Jiang Beiran and asked,””Excuse me… Am I already dead?”

“Yes, he’s dead. He’s already become a ghost.”Jiang Beiran answered with certainty.

After a moment of silence, the young man could not help but cover his face and cry. He muttered to himself,”Wifey, it’s all my fault that I killed you all.”

“Little brother, don’t be in a hurry to cry. Why don’t you tell me what happened here?”

“There’s nothing else…It’s all gone.” The young man shook his head.

“Then do you want revenge?”

Hearing the word revenge, the young man raised his head and said,””Yes! I want revenge!”

“Then tell me what happened here. I’ll avenge you.”

The young man hesitated for a moment and replied,””I can tell you, but I have a condition.”

“Tell me.”

“Can you help me bury my wife?”

Jiang Beiran looked at the rotting body on the ground and asked,””Is it him?”
“Yes.” The young man nodded vigorously.

“No problem.” After saying that, Jiang Beiran looked at Meng Sipei, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression, and shouted,””Come and bury this corpse. Dig the pit deeper.”

“Ah?” Meng Sipei pointed at herself, her face full of question marks.

“What are you waiting for? Get to work.” Jiang Beiran signaled with his eyes.

“This…” Although Meng Sipei was confused, she still agreed in the end and went to dig a hole.

While Meng Sipei was digging, Jiang Beiran looked at the young man and said,””Can you tell me now?”

The young man first glanced at Meng Sipei, who was digging a hole, and then said with a nostalgic expression,”A year ago, when we were out fishing, I saw a dying man on the surface of the sea, so I called everyone to save him on the boat.”

At this point, the young man let out a long sigh and continued,””We brought him back to the village and found a doctor to treat him. After two days, the man woke up. He sincerely thanked all of us and told us that he was a merchant. When he was transporting goods, his boat was overturned by a big wave. If it wasn’t for us, he would have been eaten by the fish.”

Jiang Beiran had no intention of interrupting the young man, so he just listened quietly. The more he listened, the more he felt that this should be the starting point of everything.

” In order to repay his kindness, the peddler stayed in the village. He was very powerful. Not only did he know medicine, but he also knew carpentry. He helped the village a lot. Later on, when the village went to sell fish, he helped them sell it for 30% more, allowing the entire village to live a fat year. From then on, the village completely accepted this foreigner. Everyone even helped him build a house. However, that was the beginning of the nightmare…”

As the young man said this, his hands kept grabbing his hair, and the expression on his face was extremely painful.

Instead of urging the young man, Jiang Beiran used his mental power to calm him down.

After a long while, the young man finally recovered a little. He turned around and saw that Meng Sipei had already dug a hole and was walking over to pick up his wife’s corpse.

“Bury him properly. As for the specific reason, this king will tell you later.”Jiang Beiran said to Meng Sipei.

After listening to Jiang Beiran’s explanation, Meng Sipei, who was still confused, finally felt better. She nodded and wrapped the highly decomposed corpse with her Celestial Chi before walking towards the pit that had been dug.

Seeing his wife being carried, the young man followed Meng Sipei slowly to the big pit.

“Wifey, sleep well. There won’t be any bugs torturing you anymore.”

Meng Sipei used her Celestial Chi to slowly place the corpse into the pit. She glanced at Jiang Beiran first, and only buried the corpse after she received a positive reply.
