Suddenly, Li Zheng, who was lying in the bushes, seemed to remember something, and his expression changed drastically.

However, in order not to alarm the man in black, he did not dare to move.

Until an hour later.

The man in black took the torch and left, and he breathed a sigh of relief, then walked down the mountain and ran to the Zhang family to report the news.

This hour.

Most of the people in the village were asleep.

Occasionally, a few dogs barked.

Ms. Zhang and her children were also fast asleep.

Old man Zhang walked to the center of the yard and sat down in a daze, holding his cane.

There were too many things happening at home these days, and he was very upset. Whenever he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, he liked to sit in the middle of the yard, looking up at the endless night sky in a daze.

At this time, looking at the stars in the sky, he felt the calmest and happiest. He really hoped that the dawn would not come, just like this, if it stayed dark, there would be no worries.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, are you asleep?" At this moment, there was a burst of hurried shouting outside the yard.

Suddenly being disturbed, Old Man Zhang frowned and asked displeasedly: "Who is it?"

Li Zheng: "It's me, Li Zheng."

"Oh, it's coming." Old man Zhang heard that Li Zheng was coming, and knew that there must be something important. He quickly picked up his crutch, limped to the front of the yard, and opened the door.

Li Zheng immediately dodged in, quickly closed the door, and said in a panic...

"Brother Zhang, guess where I just came back from?"

It was so dark all around that Old Man Zhang couldn't even see what he was holding in his hand?

"I don't know." Old man Zhang shook his head and said...

"Li Zheng, came here in the middle of the night. Did something happen?"

Li Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, something big has happened. I went up the mountain tonight to catch some frogs and add vegetables. But halfway through, I saw a lot of men in black surrounding your daughter's grave. They were holding torches. They must be They are looking for Huo Shaotian’s head.”

"I wonder if Huo Shaotian's head has been found? It would be troublesome if I found your family."

"Definitely jail time."

"Brother Zhang, how about this? You and your family should run away in the middle of the night, otherwise we will be in trouble at dawn."

"Quick, quick, hurry up, tell my sister-in-law and the children to get up, pack their luggage and get going."

Li Zheng was very anxious and kept urging old man Zhang.

Hearing this, Old Man Zhang couldn't help but broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Xiaoniao came to report the news at night, otherwise, their family would really be in big trouble, so he said...

"Li Zheng, don't worry, they didn't find Huo Shaotian's head."

Li Zheng expressed disbelief and said...

"Impossible. When I went up the mountain to cut firewood yesterday, I found Huo Shaotian's head hanging in front of Dahua's grave. However, the crows had eaten all the meat, leaving only the skull."

"However, even if it is just a skull and the true face of the deceased cannot be seen, your family is still in danger. After all, Huo Shaotian just lost his head, and a head appeared in front of the big flower grave. Even a fool wants to get it. It must be Huo Xiaotian's head."

"Brother Zhang, for the safety of the children, don't take any chances and run away quickly."

Old man Zhang was a little dumbfounded and said...

"Li Zheng, don't worry, they really didn't find the head. In the evening, we had already gone up the mountain, collected the head and buried it."

"They can't find it."

Li Zheng looked surprised and asked, "What? You guys go up the mountain tonight and bury Huo Shaotian's head."

Old man Zhang nodded and said, "That's right, we'll be fine, and there's no need to run away, so don't worry."

Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and murmured to himself: "Just bury it, just bury it."

"Huo Shaotian's head is the source of trouble. As long as he is dealt with, your family will be safe."

"Yeah." Immediately afterwards, Old Man Zhang told them about the divine bird coming to inform them at night, and then said with gratitude...

"Fortunately, the divine bird came to notify us, otherwise, our family would be in trouble again."

Li Zheng sighed with sadness and said: "Not only the Divine Bird, but also Prince Zhan's Mansion are your family's benefactors. Your whole family should not forget their kindness in the future."

Seeing that the Zhang family was fine, Li Zheng said goodbye and left.

As soon as Li Zheng left, Mrs. Zhang walked out of the back room with her coat on her back legs and said to old man Zhang...

"Master, who came just now?"

Old man Zhang held a pipe in his hand, puffed out smoke, and said, "It's Li Zheng."

"Come here in the middle of the night, what's the matter?"

Old man Zhang blew out a smoke ring and said, "He went up the mountain to catch frogs and found many men in black in front of the Big Flower Tomb. He was worried that they would find Huo Shaotian's head, so he came to notify us and let us run away quickly."

After hearing this, Ms. Zhang broke into a cold sweat and said...

"Fortunately, in the evening, the divine bird came to report the news, otherwise, our whole family would be in jail again."

Old Man Zhang nodded and said, "Well, you are right, we owe the Divine Bird another favor."

The couple talked for a while, and then Mrs. Zhang went back to the house to sleep. Before leaving, she persuaded...

"Dad, don't smoke so much, don't stay up late, for the sake of the children, you have to take care of yourself and go to bed early."

"We can't let anything happen to our family again."

Old man Zhang nodded irritably and said, "I understand."

Although he was lame in one leg and sat at home doing nothing every day, in fact, he was very irritable inside, but he was physically disabled and there was nothing he could do no matter how anxious he was.

However, during these days, he thought of a good way, which was to make bamboo baskets to make money to support the family. In this way, he was still the mainstay of the family, and the children did not have to run around for money at a young age.

Taiwei Mansion.

At midnight.

The housekeeper, dressed in black clothes, walked to the door of the Taiwei's dormitory in a dusty manner. He raised his voice and reported inside that the young master's head was not found in front of Zhang Dahua's grave.

The Taiwei was doing something indescribable with his maid. Hearing this, he lost all interest. He sat up from the bed, put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out. He frowned and asked...

"Have you searched everything? Is there anything you missed?"

The housekeeper shook his head and said...

"Sir, my servants searched within 100 meters of Zhang Dahua's grave, but indeed they did not find the young master's head."

When the Taiwei heard this, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. If his son's head could not be recovered, he would not be able to be buried. What should he do?

Butler: "Also, sir, the young master's body already stinks. It needs to be buried quickly in the next two days, otherwise maggots will infest it."

The lieutenant frowned and said in disbelief...

"Maggots? How is that possible? Didn't I ask you to preserve Haotian'er's body? How could this happen?"

"Butler, how do you do things?"

"How can Tian'er be buried unless his head is recovered? If he is buried like this, he will not be reincarnated in the next life. What should I do?"

Cold sweat fell from the butler's forehead and he said...

"Master, the weather is already hot like this. No matter how you handle it, the body cannot be kept for that long. It will definitely become smelly very quickly."

The Taiwei said firmly: "I don't care, you have to find a way to deal with Tian'er's body quickly. Anyway, if the head cannot be recovered, it will not be allowed to be buried."

housekeeper:"……."

Master, you have to understand that you are not embarrassing your slave now, you are embarrassing your son.

However, in this case, the housekeeper did not dare to say it in front of the Taiwei. He only dared to complain in his heart.

Suddenly, a delicate voice sounded in the dormitory...

"Master, where have you been at midnight? Come back and rest quickly."

It's the maid of the general house.

"Hey, baby, here we come." The lieutenant raised his voice in agreement, and then whispered to the housekeeper...

"Tian'er's body must be well preserved. If there are maggots, be careful of your dog's head."

After saying that, he hurried into the room.

The housekeeper wanted to cry but had no tears, and kept roaring in his heart...

"I'm just a housekeeper. I'm not omnipotent. I don't understand the preservation of corpses."

"Master, you are so capable, just go ahead and do it."
