Chapter 36 Rope Son

Li Shouling asked directly: "Is it difficult to do?"

Erhuang Mouse sighed.

"It's more than difficult. It's extremely difficult..."

"Although he is dead, his brother, Liu Qingtian, the county magistrate of Zhongliang County, is still alive."

"So his orphan naturally inherited everything from him, including the protection from Liu Qingtian."

"That is to say, this imperial petition may be intercepted in Zhongliang County and cannot be submitted at all..."

"Zhongliang County? It sounds so familiar..." Li Shouling muttered.

He suddenly remembered.

"Ah! That county magistrate!"

"Tsk, why is it him again?"

These words made Erhuang Haozi stunned.

"Why? Big Brother still knows him?"

Li Shouling nodded.

"More than knowing him, I just made some money from him a few days ago and killed his wife by the way."

Erhuang Mouse: ...

Li Liuxia: …

Li Shouling continued: "So I should be able to...wait!"

"Mr. Liu is dead?"

Erhuang Mouse nodded: "Yes!"

Li Liuxia frowned slightly and said, "Even if he is dead, some accounts should be settled!"

Li Shouling touched his chin.

"It seems... that we don't need to file a complaint?"

"But..." Li Liuxia hesitated, "No matter what, Liu Qingtian will definitely not let me bring disgrace to his deceased brother, right?"

"That's hard to say." Li Shouling smiled and said, "People's personalities are always compromised. He will definitely not be happy if his brother is directly exposed, but if I want him to live a life worse than death, then he will agree to his brother being exposed."

Erhuang Haozi took a breath and gave a thumbs up.

"Brother is awesome!"

"Then...what are the specific steps?" Li Liuxia asked cautiously.

"As for the details, you should take a rest for the next two days. I have to deal with the red and white conflict first."

Li Liuxia sighed.

"Well, then we can only take the long view first."

Erhuang Mouse, feeling as if he could not help much, scratched his head and sighed.

Perhaps feeling embarrassed, he stood up and said, "Since this matter has been settled, I will leave first. I have something else to do."

He left, and Li Liuxia left too.

So Li Shouling left too.

He planned to see where he could earn merit.

He soon found a suitable job on the bounty board mentioned by the mayor.

After the notice was announced, relevant detailed information was obtained from the government office.

Recently there has been a thing called Rope Son.

It is said that some lonely elderly people hanged themselves in a strange way.

Usually, hanging only involves nooking the neck, but they also nooked the limbs and waist.

It is said that if a person really cannot survive, he can try to attract the son of the rope in this way.

If it's just a rumor, then it doesn't matter if you leave it alone.

But the thing is, it seems to be true...

Li Shouling visited some places where his son was making trouble.

He found that 70% of the elderly widows who tried to attract the rope to support their sons in their old age had their bodies disappeared after they hanged themselves.

At first, Li Shouling thought they might have simply disappeared.

After all, no one can see the person alive or the body dead.

But it was noon, and Li Shouling, who had traveled to many places, gave up this lucky idea.

Because all the missing people mentioned Rope Son before they disappeared.

More importantly, someone provided a key clue.

He saw an old man with ropes tied around his limbs, waist, and neck running out of the town.

And that running speed...

Obviously it is not something an old man can achieve!

Following the man's guidance, Li Shouling found a strange forest.

The trees in this forest are unusually thick, and each tree has a tree hole.

What’s even stranger is that these tree holes are actually connected to each other.

After searching back and forth for several times, he was still lost.

Until the evening, he...

Met an acquaintance.

"Erhuang Mouse? Why are you here?"

"Hiss..." Erhuang Haozi took a breath and asked, "Brother, you didn't take down the bounty board, did you?"

Li Shouling frowned, feeling that something was fishy. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Erhuang Mouse scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I came back this time just to solve this problem."

"And the list, I should have taken it off when I left the house today, but I forgot about it in my rush to find my big brother."

Li Shouling was speechless.

"Does that mean I won't get any reward even if I complete it?"

Erhuang Mouse waved his hands quickly.

"No, no, no, there is still a bounty. It's only when I complete it that there is really no bounty."

"Yeah, it's OK." Li Shouling was slightly relieved, and then asked: "What's the situation now? Are you lost too?"

He sighed.

"Hey... Not only am I lost, but I'm also separated from my brothers."

"Get lost?"

"Yes, this place is very weird. When you walk along, there will be one person missing from the team for no apparent reason."

"So evil?"

"Yeah, it's not easy to meet big brother, we must be careful!"

Erhuang Haozi shouted and drew his sword to chop at Li Shouling's head.

Li Shouling subconsciously lowered his body.

The next moment, a hemp rope noose was seen falling to the ground.

If you look closely, you can see signs of burning at the fracture.

When I looked up, it turned out to be Erhuang Haozi's knife.

Flames were burning on the blade of the knife.

Noticing Li Shouling's gaze, he explained, "I went to the Ministry of War to apply for the Devil Slayer skill. After the sword is drawn from the scabbard, it can maintain a flame for about ten breaths. It is very effective against filth, especially plants and trees."

Li Shouling nodded slightly, then looked up.

A broken hemp rope is retracting into the tree.

He suddenly realized what the problem was.

“So, these trees are actually alive?”

Erhuang Mouse hummed and said, "Yes, and the so-called rope sons should be born from these trees."

Li Shouling walked out of the tree hole and began to warm up.

"Erhuang Mouse, do you think... can forty people pull up this tree together?"

He didn't know why Li Shouling asked this, but he still answered honestly.

"For this tree, it shouldn't take forty people, right? I think twenty or thirty people will be enough."

Li Shouling nodded when he heard this, and then his immortal power began to circulate wildly.

Huh?
The vortex of immortal power was still forty cycles last night.

And now, there are inexplicably four more cycles.

Although I don’t understand why, improving my strength is a good thing!

He stopped thinking about it and walked to the tree trunk.

He clasped the tree trunk with both hands, veins bulging, and let out a loud shout.

"rise!"

Amidst the roars, Li Shouling pulled up the tree by its roots!
For a moment, the sound of something breaking could be heard continuously.

After leaving the big tree aside, Li Shouling finally understood where the sound came from.

It's the root of the tree.

The roots of this tree are not normal roots, but...

Ropes!

There was a burst of applause.

"Brother, you are so mighty! Your strength can move mountains and your spirit can conquer the world!"

As soon as Erhuang Haozi finished speaking, there was another round of applause.

"Yes, young man, you have great kung fu!"

"That's amazing! As the saying goes, heroes emerge from youth since ancient times."

"He is indeed extremely strong and powerful, very impressive!"

"Welcome to this rope forest. Why don't you sit in my tree hole?"

One after another, old men and women appeared from nowhere and surrounded the two people.

Li Shouling immediately became alert.

These people's movements are so weird that they look almost like zombies.

"Oh my God!"

Erhuang Haozi's exclamation made Li Shouling subconsciously look in the direction his gaze was pointing.

I saw an old man standing over there.

There were a lot of flies flying around his body.

As he clapped his hands, his palms...

Falling off!
