Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

After the discussion, San Gouzi agreed with Meng Zhao's suggestion. The two of them thought about it carefully and then sneaked into Li Quezi's house quietly.

Fortunately, Li Cuzi didn't have a dog at home, otherwise it would not be easy for the two men to kill him quietly and rob his property.

When they arrived outside the courtyard wall, Meng Zhao took a horse stance and supported himself with his hands, forming a bridge, allowing San Gouzi, who was shorter but more agile, to climb up the wall and rush into the courtyard. Then, San Gouzi quietly opened the gate a crack from inside the courtyard and let Meng Zhao in.

The two were actually quite bold and foolhardy. After all, without any scouts or investigation of the situation, accidents could easily have happened.

Fortunately, both of them are villagers and are familiar with everything in Xiaohan Village. Even though they did not scout the area in advance, they still have a relatively comprehensive understanding of Li Guizi's family and his neighbors' families.

Li Cuizi's family lived in an ordinary farmhouse. The courtyard wall was not high and the interior was decorated very sloppily. The three old hens that San Gouzi mentioned were actually in a corner of the courtyard, surrounded by a fence, and were seen clearly by Meng Zhao.

San Gouzi quietly moved to the door of the brick house, got a piece of wire from somewhere, and moved quietly along the crack of the door.

Meng Zhao looked at the dark house. There was not even a hint of firelight from the windows, which made him feel more confident.

It was obvious that Li Guizi had gone to bed very early and should be sleeping soundly now. In this way, San Gouzi's actions would be more confident.

Otherwise, if Li Guizi discovered it in advance and made a big fuss, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble.

San Gouzi had indeed learned a lot of sneaky tricks, and this skill of breaking into houses and picking locks really saved him a lot of effort.

Meng Zhao even thought that at some point in the future, when he wanted to kill Wen San, he could also ask San Gouzi for help, which would greatly increase his chances of success.

As for San Gouzi, he played with the wire for a while and then quietly slipped open the bolt on the door of the house. The sound was almost inaudible and did not wake up the people who were sleeping in the house.

At this time, Meng Zhao saw in the moonlight that San Gouzi's cheeks were red and his eyes were blazing. He was obviously a little excited, and he was also shocked.

Killing is not a good thing. If an ordinary person knows that he is going to kill someone, he will be more or less hesitant and waver.

These three dogs are different. Instead, they are eager to try. This is indeed a very rare character. They can even be considered talents. It is not an exaggeration to call them unpolished jades.

Meng Zhao grabbed San Gouzi,
"I'm stronger. I'll do it later. If anything goes wrong, you can watch from the side so you can be prepared!"

In fact, Meng Zhao couldn't be 100% sure that tonight's event would be successful.

Li Guizi offended Wen San, but he is not a fool. I am afraid he himself does not think that Wen San will give up so easily.

In order to prevent Wen San's revenge, what kind of preparations will Li Guizi make?

Meng Zhao didn't make too many guesses and planned to take one step at a time and see how it goes.

To put it bluntly, he is now constrained by his strength and is in a dormant stage, unable to act as he pleases.

Before practicing the secret martial arts records and taking the secret martial arts medicine, one can truly embark on the path of martial arts and stimulate the potential of the human body.

He is still just a mortal. Even if he has the memories of his previous two lives as a foundation and a lot of martial arts wisdom to use, their effects are limited.

After all, wrong experience is not experience, but may be a fatal trap.

He must not look at his current situation from the perspective of the past.

He could deal with one or two people, but it was difficult for him to deal with ten or twenty people. Even if the opponent was holding a deadly weapon, he could only deal with three or five people at the same time, which was his limit.

After all, they are two different martial arts in two different worlds. Shenzhou martial arts relies too much on supernatural powers, and any gesture can kill people.

Now Meng Zhao is just a mortal body. He has no internal energy to protect himself, no strong energy to protect his body, and no method of horizontal training to cultivate his body. If he is cut, he will bleed, and if he is stabbed with a sword, he will die.

This meant that he should not act on impulse and should plan carefully to avoid being too arrogant and getting into trouble.

He quietly pushed the door open and walked in. Meng Zhao was already holding the deadly spear in his hand.

He had once been to Li Quezi's house to beg for food, so he knew the layout of Li Quezi's house.

Therefore, he walked into the house quietly, with a clear goal in mind. He went straight to the earthen kang on the east side of the house and headed straight for Li Cuzi.

He also didn't think about torturing Li Guizi and getting all the secrets of his family out of him.

After all, he had no internal strength and could not control his true energy to confine the surrounding sounds to one place.

If Li Cuzi suddenly shouted for help, he would not have time to stop him, so the best thing would be to kill him with one strike.

San Gouzi, at some point, grabbed a slippery pebble, tightly clenched in his hand, ready to attack at any time.

In the dark room, everything was dark as far as the eye could see. Meng Zhao's body was indeed gifted. Even though he had been malnourished for a long time, he did not suffer from night blindness. On the contrary, he had extraordinary eyesight even in scattered light.

With the dim moonlight outside the window, Meng Zhao saw a burly man sleeping soundly on the kang. He was breathing heavily and snoring like a drum from time to time.

After confirming that this person was undoubtedly Li Cuzi, Meng Zhao took a deep breath and waved to San Gouzi on the side.

Although the two of them only communicated with each other through actions and eye contact, they had a tacit understanding and were quickly ready.

Meng Zhao pounced forward like a tiger, grabbed Li Quezi's throat tightly, and instantly woke up the farmer.

He opened his eyes wide and wanted to speak, but saw Meng Zhao with a ferocious face and disheveled hair.

At first glance, I thought it was an evil ghost coming to take my life.

Li Guizi immediately began to struggle with all his might, and was about to pull Meng Zhao with both hands, but he was suddenly hit twice by San Gouzi with the pebbles in his hands, smashing both of his arms into a bloody mess, with the white bones exposed.

When people are in severe pain, they can actually burst out with powerful strength, which can be regarded as a kind of human potential.

Meng Zhao was nearly blown away by Li Quezi's sudden outburst, but fortunately his body was incredibly strong. Moreover, he had a high level of knowledge of the techniques, so he exerted force and used his cleverness to hold down Li Quezi's trachea.

After a moment's stalemate, Li Guizi's strength gradually weakened, and finally, he completely stopped moving.

If someone could dissect the body and examine it, they would find that Li Guizi's larynx had been completely crushed by Meng Zhao, and the bone fragments had pierced his trachea, causing blood to seep into his lungs...

Generally speaking, Li Cuzi was strangled to death by Meng Zhao.

The reason why Meng Zhao killed people in this way was that he wanted to avoid exposing the fatal thorn first.

He was very interested in Zhou Zhihan's purpose of coming to Xiaohan Village, and such a person, who was attracted here, must have something precious.

Maybe Xiaohan Village is not as simple as he imagined and thought. Therefore, if he can hide, he should hide as much as possible, and it would be best if he could blend into Xiaohan Village like water.

Otherwise, if Li Guizi was killed by the deadly spear, there might be some evildoer hiding in Xiaohan Village who discovered the existence of the deadly spear. He might follow the clues and find Zhou Zhihan, and then threaten him.

Of course, Zhou Zhihan’s mystery is actually a consensus in Xiaohan Village. However, for some reason, the elders in the village have never taken any action against Zhou Zhihan, which is really puzzling.

Back to reality, Meng Zhao strangled Li Guizi to death and broke out in a cold sweat. San Gouzi was gasping for breath, his heart beating wildly, and he felt like he was floating and almost flying.

"This, does this count as murder?" San Gouzi was a little dazed. Generally speaking, he was not the real murderer, but just a person who assisted. But even so, it was a thrill he had never experienced in his life.

Once you cross that boundary, your thoughts and boundaries will be completely different.

Meng Zhao nodded,
"Of course, killing someone is not as difficult as you think. The only difference is whether you can take that step and break free from the shackles imposed on yourself!"

There are so many things that bind people, such as fear, the punishment for killing someone, the terrible consequences, and so on.

If it wasn't necessary, Meng Zhao didn't really want to kill anyone. He wasn't a bloodthirsty person. He simply sensed that such an opportunity might bring huge trouble to Wen San and buy himself some time.

According to the previous agreement, the two began to set up the scene. In addition to leaving traces of Wen San's kicking on Li Quezi's body, they also threw the ring into Li Quezi's quilt.

By the time someone found out, Wen San couldn't really say he was at a loss for words or explanation.

He has the motive to kill, the ability to kill, and he also left traces of murder. If he is not the murderer, then who is?
Then, San Gouzi began to excitedly search for the valuables in Li Quezi's house.

Although Li Guizi looks poor, he is not particularly poor.

Firstly, he still had some farmland in the village, and he had learned to weave bamboo products, which was a good job, and he could accumulate some wealth with it.

Secondly, Li Cuzi was a single man, and if he was well fed, the whole family would not be hungry. He was also a stingy person, comparable to Grandet, who was very thrifty, so he must have some savings.

Sure enough, San Gouzi rummaged around in the room and soon found a lot of valuables from Li Quezi's house.

The copper coins were packed in bags, along with pieces of silver and even a gold bead the size of a fingernail.

The appearance of the golden bead surprised San Gouzi, and Meng Zhao also felt that something was wrong.

There might not be any gold in the entire Xiaohan Village, so how could there be gold in Li Guizi's house?

Where did he get it from?

Did you hide it during the robbery?

If that's the case, it's not bad, it can be considered a source.

But if not, then he must have obtained it from someone else. Does he have any connection with the outside world, or collusion with external forces?
San Gouzi didn’t think so much, but Meng Zhao did.

Especially Li Guizi, could he be related to what Zhou Zhihan is planning by staying here?

Suppressing all these thoughts, Meng Zhao knocked left and right, looked around, and soon found all the valuables hidden by Li Guizi. San Gouzi definitely did not have such eyesight and experience.

In the end, Meng Zhao even took the rice jar and vegetable basket from Li Cuzi's house, and put them all in a sack along with the three old hens, and left under the cover of night.

Back in his shabby thatched hut, San Gouzi began to excitedly count the copper coins and silver pieces, adding two to five and giving each of them half.

This trip for the two of them was a great bonanza, as they made all the money that Li Guizi had accumulated over the years.

As for the gold bead, the two agreed to take half each, but it was temporarily hidden with San Gouzi, who was a very good person at hiding things.

The last time I picked up Wen San’s ring, it wasn’t discovered for such a long time, which shows that he still has some ability to hide.

As for whether these three dogs would embezzle the golden beads, Meng Zhao didn't care at all.

People who are short-sighted may really regard it as a huge fortune and hold on to it tightly, but in fact, this thing is sometimes a disaster for those who have no power.

Meng Zhao always believed that money is just external things, and ability is the greatest wealth.

Putting aside other things, if one can truly achieve perfection in martial arts, will one still be short of money in the future?
If you are short of money, go find money, whether by robbing or by using your own force as a selling point or doing business.

"Ah Zheng, you cook, I'll go take care of the old hen, and we'll have a good meal of beggar's chicken this time!"

Young people are full of energy. Even though it is late at night, they don't show any signs of fatigue.

On the contrary, after experiencing such an exciting thing, San Gouzi was full of energy and not sleepy at all.

Thinking about having a good meal with Li Zheng to celebrate the successful completion of this operation.

Meng Zhao was also tempted and said,
"Go home and steal some of the wine that Grandpa Zhang brewed himself. We can eat it with beggar's chicken, won't it be delicious?

Also, hide the silver and gold beads. If something goes wrong and someone finds them, we won’t be able to explain ourselves.”

After a pause, Meng Zhao gave another warning.
“What happened tonight is known to heaven and earth, you and me, and we must not let anyone else know. Otherwise, there will be no place for you and me in Xiaohan Village.

Furthermore, once you have money, don't spend it lavishly right away, otherwise you won't be able to explain the origin of the money and problems will be easily discovered.

We two brothers have suffered so much over the years, and we can endure a little more hardship these days. The most important thing is to be cautious."

San Gouzi nodded repeatedly after listening to this. He was not an ungrateful person. On the contrary, he was very smart and was willing to listen to Meng Zhao's advice.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so impulsive and instigated by Meng Zhao to commit such a crime of murder and robbery.

"Don't worry, I'll remember everything you said. I won't delay the important work, and I won't reveal my true identity."

In fact, San Gouzi still had some questions to ask Meng Zhao.

For example, why were you so motivated tonight? It's ok that you wanted to kill someone, but you did it so easily. It didn't seem like it was your first time doing such a thing. You were so skilled that it was scary.

For example, how come you think so much and so thoroughly, yet you don’t show it right now?

However, San Gouzi knew that some questions, once asked, would be difficult to resolve, so he simply kept silent.

Getting all the benefits is better than anything else! (End of this chapter)
