Skilled in managing a house

Early the next morning, Xiao Mei was taken to Wudang Taoist Temple by Zhang Qingfeng, and Zhang Yu personally led her to the courtyard where Sun Zhaoyi was.

In the yard, there were also the Great Protector who had been sitting under the camphor tree, Pan Sheng and Ouyang Yanyan who were practicing together, Pan Chonghai and Ye Linglong who were cooking in the kitchen, and Ye Fenghuang who was in the recovery period. The bored golden-scaled turtle and the white rabbit were basking in the sun in a quiet place. Everything seemed so beautiful.

Xiaomei has met many of these people. Although there was a fierce battle in Wuli Village, the past feud has been cleared up now. After everyone said hello and some New Year greetings, Zhang Yu led Xiaomei into Sun Zhaoyi's room.

Zhang Yu had told Sun Zhaoyi about Xiaomei before, but because Xiaomei also said that she wanted to live a peaceful life and go to school, he did not bring her here.

However, people who are not peaceful may not be born to live a peaceful life. Although Sun Zhaoyi couldn't see Xiaomei, he seemed to be able to feel the aura on Xiaomei's body. She directly stated that she was willing to teach Xiaomei Taoism, but she did not require Xiaomei to become a disciple.

When Xiaomei heard this, she was naturally very happy. From then on, he stayed at Wudang Taoist Temple.

Zhang Yu planned to refine weapons last time, but was delayed because of Hua Yunong's incident. After returning from Sixiang Mountain, it was almost the New Year, and there was no need to refine weapons anymore. Now that he was finally free for the time being, Zhang Yu decided to start refining weapons.

There is no other way. The only person in the entire Wudang Taoist Temple who has this ability is Zhang Yu. If he doesn't do this job, there is no one who can do it.

Time has passed day by day since Zhang Yu was refining weapons. Because every day at the Taoist temple, Zhang Yu could see how Sun Zhaoyi taught Ouyang Yanyan, Pan Sheng, and Xiaomei their skills.

To be honest, Sun Zhaoyi is definitely a qualified teacher. She teaches students according to their aptitude and does not even shy away from everyone in the yard.

Although Ouyang Yanyan also practices Zhenqi, she mainly uses poison palm, combined with body skills and talismans. Pan Sheng is a corpse cultivator. Because he can use talismans and seals, his cultivation can be said to be both good and evil, and he is very domineering.

Xiaomei practices orthodox Taoism. In fact, with the true energy in Xiaomei's body and the magic weapon in her hand, she is already very powerful. The only difference is her proficiency. Sun Zhaoyi was the most attentive in giving guidance to Xiaomei. In addition to giving lectures in the yard, he would sometimes turn on a small stove in the room, often giving lectures for half a day.

Unknowingly, spring is coming, flowers are blooming, Guangming Mountain is lined with green trees, the iron ore from Baimei Palace has been delivered, and even some frost silver ore from Tianshi Mansion has been delivered.

With these ores for refining, Zhang Yu felt that the burden on his shoulders was even heavier. You know, if you want to refine all these things, one year will probably not be enough.

However, Zhang Yu also has his own thoughts, that is, no matter how long he practices, when Xia Yuechan is about to give birth, he will definitely cease fire. After all, this will be the first time in his life that he becomes a father.

Dajiang Township, Wangmei Village.

This is a village in the Yangtze River Delta close to the Yangtze River. As the saying goes, the villagers who rely on the mountains and water can live a pretty good life. Especially this village, as its name suggests, there is a plum forest at the end of the village, which is a pleasant landscape.

With the advent of urban integration, Dajiang Township is not allowed to enter the planning. Wangmei Village has little scenery and is very close to the Yangtze River, so it is defined by developers as a future Yangtze River resort.

When the villagers here heard that they were going to be demolished, every one of them was very happy, especially the young people, who don't want to become the second generation of demolition. Everyone is just waiting to sign the pre-demolition contract, receive demolition compensation, and reach the peak of their lives.

In this village, every household is occupied by people. Especially at this time, even those who have gone out to work have come back to participate in the demolition negotiations. However, there was only one family, not even a person.

But this family's house is the largest house in Wangmei Village. There are only three two-story buildings in the yard, not counting the garage and so on. Being able to have such a family fortune, not only in the village, but also in the city, can be considered a wealthy person.

However, when the real estate developers came to negotiate, they found that there was no one in the house, and there was no owner at all.

The director in charge of negotiations specially came to Wangmei Village to talk to the village chief to understand the situation. Such a big house looks like it is lived by rich people. It cannot be said that it was demolished casually, just in case there is a background. Therefore, you must first understand everything.

Unexpectedly, the village chief Hua Laoliu was hesitant and evasive when answering questions, which aroused the suspicion of the director of the demolition office.

But no matter how the director of the demolition office made insinuating inquiries, Hua Laoliu would not say anything. Instead, he was anxious to sign a demolition agreement with the developer. The more this happened, the more suspicious the demolition office director became, and he finally decided to wait two days before signing the demolition agreement.

That night, Director Wang specifically found a shabby household named Zhao Quanrong in the village. In fact, this so-called shabby household was actually a gangster in the village who idled around all day long and did not do anything serious.

Director Wang invited Zhao Quanrong to the village for dinner. He said that he encountered some problems with the relocation of the village and was worried about not moving. He needed to find local people with good reputation to help. Upon hearing this, Zhao Quanrong became more energetic and said that the matter was taken care of by him. Director Wang immediately expressed his gratitude and promised to give Zhao Quanrong an extra house as a thank you when the demolition agreement was signed.

Zhao Quanrong was so happy that he drank for a while. Director Wang brought a lot of people, but Zhao Quanrong was alone. Everyone drank one glass at a time, and Zhao Quanrong was soon drunk.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Director Wang asked, "Xiao Zhao, there is a house with the largest courtyard in your village. There are only three small buildings. Why is there no one in the house?"

"You are talking about Mei Yuzhu's family, everyone in his family is dead." Zhao Quanrong said directly.

"They're all dead... How can they all be dead... How did they die..." Director Wang became curious.

"It's strange to say that Mei Yuzhu is a local rich man. All the fishing boats on the riverside belong to his family. He is a local tyrant. Plus he is the village chief, so he is very popular here. But one day the year before last, At night, everyone in his family died overnight. It is said that everyone in the family was strangled to death," Zhao Quanrong said.

"The whole family was strangled to death..." Director Wang was stunned.

He had heard of cases involving multiple murders, but this was the first time he had heard of someone strangling a whole family to death with his bare hands.

"That's right..." Zhao Quanrong nodded and said, "They were all strangled to death. There were no other injuries on their bodies... except for the marks on their necks..."

"Has the murderer been caught?" Director Wang asked curiously.

"We haven't found it yet, but people in the village say that the Mei family is haunted, and the ghost strangled them all to death." Zhao Quanrong said matter-of-factly.

"Real or false? How can there be ghosts in this world? I don't believe it." Director Wang said in disbelief.

"Don't believe it, I didn't believe it before, but what happened next made me have to believe it." Zhao Quanrong said with curled lips.
