Chapter 21
"That's him? The man who is said to live in the haunted house on Lake Shea?"

Another chubby little boy in a hat couldn't believe it, "It looks so ordinary."

"Ahem, have you forgotten? Evil wizards always pretend to be good people before they are exposed."

The last one was a thin boy with thin cheeks and coughing while talking.

"Vic was right."

The first little boy nodded seriously, "The best tricks of an evil wizard are disguising and deceiving, because only in this way, people will not realize his disguising and tricks, and slowly fall into the trap."

"Well, what you two said makes a lot of sense."

The fat boy pretended to be an adult and squeezed his chin, "How dare an ordinary person live in a haunted house? And he is an outsider... I heard my mother chatting with others. That Chinese uncle lived in a haunted house for ten years. , a guy who is called a 'weird' by everyone."

The thin and weak boy was very interested in this, and coughed: "Ahem, you said that weirdo, I have been looking for information about him, but unfortunately, there are not many related paper materials, and adults also keep secrets about this weirdo, no matter what. I don't ask any questions."

"I heard from Julia and her friends," said the fat boy in a low voice, "that weird man is a wizard."

"wizard?"

"That's right, it's not our kind of wizard in Dungeons and Dragons, it's a wizard from the East."

The fat boy looked terrified: "It is said that wizards in the East will make children into potions and eat them, and then they will live forever."

The other two little boys were stunned by the fat boy's words, and the fat boy continued to expand his remarks, "Since this person inherited his uncle's haunted house, it is very likely that he also inherited his uncle's wizard skills, you know, Many children in our town have gone missing, maybe these children were made into potions by his uncle. Now, his nephew is back and will kill the children of Dock Town again for immortality! Guys, Dock The natural enemy of the children in the town is here, this evil oriental wizard, will destroy our peaceful life, while the adults are still enjoying the peace, completely unaware of this, the only ones who know the inside story are us three children, this This is our chance!"

"Evan, what are your plans?"

The other two children came to their senses, the first child asked.

"We must deal with it calmly," the fat boy Evan calmed down after a passionate speech, "We must not take a wrong step, otherwise the town of Dock will be destroyed. We must clearly realize that we are still children, and our strength cannot be compared with adults. , let alone confronting wizards."

"So, the next plan is to find the evil evidence of the oriental wizard, and then provide the evidence to the adults, so that the adults who are obsessed with pleasure will wake up..."

"Evan, what are you doing here?"

With a yell, the fat boy who was telling his plan shuddered, and when he turned around, he found a high school student girl standing behind him, watching him coldly, stepped forward a few steps, and grabbed his ear and walked out.

"Wait, wait, Julia, let me go...Guys, wait for me to contact you!"

The fat boy was taken away by his sister by the ear, and the two remaining little boys looked at each other in a mess.

"Go home first."

Andy Noyce said, "It's almost lunch time."

"Ahem, that's right, goodbye."

The two separated and rode away on bicycles.

Chi Heng knew that his arrival would definitely trigger discussions among the townspeople, but he never imagined that the townspeople just regarded him as an after-dinner talk, but a few little boys regarded him as a heinous oriental wizard.

He drove to the edge of Dock Town, and according to the information he found on the PDA, he called the North American manufacturer of Honda. Unexpectedly, the call had an unexpected surprise.

The ATVs on sale on the website are not all models. The width of single-person ATVs ranges from 80 cm to 110 cm, and they can be modified and customized according to customer needs.

The width of the "Gate of Moros" is 105 centimeters, which is enough to accommodate some single-person ATVs to pass through.

Without further ado, Chi Heng asked the manufacturer to provide some models and parameters. Finally, he selected one of the models, with a width of 90 cm, single use, a vehicle weight of 178 kg, a maximum load of 300 kg, and a maximum speed of 80 km/h. The fuel tank has a maximum load fuel consumption of 11L per 4.5 kilometers, that is, it can run 200 kilometers, and under an average load, the maximum mileage can reach 400 kilometers.If you bring 33kg of spare gasoline, it will be easy to exceed 1000 kilometers of battery life under the maximum load.

Chi Heng also asked to order a cargo box and some bundled parts. After explaining it repeatedly, he said that he would transfer the deposit by wire transfer and set the delivery location in the capital of Maine.

"It seems to be going better than I expected."

Chi Heng showed a smile, and immediately went back to the old house to get the money, then went to the bank in the town to wire a deposit of 500 US dollars to the remittance bank and account designated by Honda, and then went to the power bureau to repay the money. The power supply in China is divided according to the house, not according to the individual. If the power consumption exceeds a little, it will not cut off the power for you, but if it is too much, it will shut you down.

After all this busy work, it was four o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to the old house.

Thinking that it's not too early or too late, Chi Heng still needs to renovate the fence of the courtyard outside. Otherwise, outsiders really came. Seeing the barren appearance of the old house and the courtyard, they probably don't know that Chi Heng lives here. What are you doing all day.

But it is not easy to renovate the fence and many places, it is a big project.

We can only take our time, first re-align the fences that are temporarily intact, put aside the gaps temporarily, pull out the broken fences, pile them up and put them aside.

There is only one family like him around Lake Shea. The open space is very large, so you can do whatever you want. Apart from not causing a fire, it is impossible for an environmental protection organization to come here to criticize Chi Heng.

After working for more than an hour, watching the time point to five o'clock in the afternoon, Chi Heng put down the shovel, went to the back room, turned on the faucet, and washed the mud on his hands and rain boots.

Then, I made myself a delicious dinner.

"There should be a library in the town, find some time to borrow some books and come back."

He is not for low-level fun, but is really ready to learn some skills, such as vehicle maintenance, he will simply change the tires, drive from Mississippi to Maine, the pickup truck did not have any problems along the way, I am really glad, otherwise once If the vehicle breaks down, it will be a big trouble.

After dinner, seeing the time gradually approaching six o'clock in the evening, Chi Heng finished washing the tableware, scanned the yard and the surrounding area, and walked back to the old house after not noticing any problems, closed the door, and returned to the basement.
