Chapter 25 A Big Thing Happened

Wang Li was very happy that night, and chatted a lot with his mother, Jiang Hu.

For example, he told Jiang Yan that he has been appreciated by his teacher recently, and he has performed well in several outings, and now he has been promoted to a partner in an exceptional way.

Jiang Yan was a little worried at the time... how unreliable is this casually promoting a 19-year-old boy as a 'boss'?

Is it still the kind of small self-employed?

She shook her head, anyway, her son worked there very well, and his character improvement was very gratifying, that was enough.

There is only one thing that Wang Li still cares about, that is, Jiang Yan slept very late again this day, and she seems to have been looking up information...

Wang Li knew what she was doing, she was planning a trip.

Even the destination is known, it is on the northwestern plateau mountains, and it looks like a self-driving tour.

Jiang Yan has been doing strategies all the time, and he doesn't know who he wants to go with...

Wang Li secretly looked forward to it.

He has been in this city since he was eight years old, and he has never been anywhere!

……

The next morning, he got up early, and after breakfast, he went to Lao Ma's grocery store to open the door as usual.

The job has been falling on him lately.

At the same time, he was also a little worried. After the previous fever and hemorrhage, the old horse's body was obviously not as good as before. He was worried that his teacher would lie in the trash can again...

Fortunately, the picture he saw when he arrived today was very positive.

In the early morning sunshine, a truck parked in front of Lao Ma's grocery store, and Lao Ma was moving the goods with the truck's brother.

Incredibly, this grocery store actually stocked up!
Wang Li's mood brightened accordingly, and he stepped forward to help them move the goods.

During this process, Lao Ma handed him a bank card and said, "Here, this is a bank card I issued in your name, and the password is your birthday."

"The [-] dragon coins from yesterday have already been deposited."

Wang Li asked in surprise, "This... is there a bank that opens so early?"

The old horse said angrily: "Didn't you rush home last night to have dinner with your mother?"

"I went to the council branch to do a business... You can have a special channel for any business over there, understand?"

Wang Li nodded while working, not paying much attention to it.

A while ago, the shelves of Lao Ma's grocery store were really not full, and there were too many things to replenish.

Not only is he busy, but even Ying Ying and Fei Lian are busy.

Just heard a 'tap tap' sound.

Flying sickle moved quickly on all fours, and Yingying stood on it, as if stepping on a 'carriage'.

Good guy, this is not a 'brother', it is simply regarded as a 'mount'!

The key is that Feisi is still very happy, it quickly runs back and forth with Yingying, and Yingying is holding various goods and putting them on the shelves.

But she is too short, and when she encountered a higher shelf... I saw Fei Lian trying to straighten her four legs, making it lift up smoothly like a lift, so that her 'sister' could put the goods on the shelf. to higher ground.

Super perfect fit!
It's just that the old horse looks a little sad, and only feels that his former spirit servant has become a "self-propelled work car" that can only go up and down in Wang Li's hands, which is too desolate.

Seeing that his two spirit servants liked working so much, Wang Li simply found a stool and sat down.

Of course, he is not an idler like Lao Ma, he is a 'charging pile'.

When the two spirit servants are tired, they will run to him to 'recharge their batteries', and soon they will be busy again full of energy, don't be too happy.

The old horse just shook his head when he saw it. Whenever he saw this kind of picture, he would feel very emotional. It's a pity that he didn't think of having a spirit servant to serve people earlier.
But thinking about it, it's not bad now, doing some safe 'housekeeping services', there is a little cleaning expert Yingying, and a 'gardening master' Flying Scythe, the income of the two masters and apprentices can take off.

This is much more reliable than risking your life to face that kind of evil spirit.

Just when Lao Ma was lamenting his life, and Wang Li continued to train his mental power to perceive his own body... an unexpected customer came to the Lao Ma grocery store.

It's Li Bosheng, Mr. Li. He's here with a messy expression on his face.

He came to the grocery store and looked at the cheap wine on the wine cabinet. He was not polite, just picked up a bottle and took a big gulp for himself.

The old horse was very surprised when he saw it, and then said: "Well, this bottle is for you."

Mr. Li, big customers always need some preferential treatment.

But Mr. Li was obviously not in the right mood, he drank two gulps of liquor that burned his throat, and finally recovered from the state of shock.

Wang Li was a little worried. Could it be that Mrs. Li, who is so social, has a problem?

I always feel a little worried.

And Mr. Li's next sentence shocked both master and apprentice:
"William is dead!"

Wang Li and Lao Ma were in a trance for a moment.

They never expected to hear the news.

You must know that William was still coming to them for help a day ago, and they did point out the direction.

But now, this client just died?

"It's...that carpet!" Wang Li gave an obvious answer.

Li Baisheng sighed and said, "I'm just a little scared. If we hadn't met the two of you early on, and if the two of you hadn't handled the problem carefully enough, I'm afraid Zhou Ling and I would have..."

He covered his mouth and refused to speak.

He obviously felt fear, and he didn't even want to say some bad things at this time, for fear that it would really come true.

Both Lao Ma and Wang Li were a little speechless. They could see that Li Baisheng was not very sad. Perhaps William could only be regarded as a nodding acquaintance in the business field... Li Baisheng's real emotions were fear and joy, I believe He was able to adjust himself quickly.

Sure enough, in the grocery store, he took the snacks on the shelf and chatted with Lao Ma about what he had, and at the same time finished a bottle of Lao Bai Gan.

Then he patted his clothes and got up: "Thank you two for listening to my nagging... Really, I don't want to bring these emotions home."

The old horse's expression fluctuated and he said: "You are a good husband... go back quickly, you should spend more time with your family at this time."

Li Baisheng nodded his thanks.

Wang Li also quickly said: "Mr. Li can come to us if he has any troubles in the future. You know the phone number."

Li Baisheng smiled at him, and then got into the car waiting on the street.

This time he brought a driver.

After Li Baisheng left, Lao Ma got up quickly and said, "The door is closed, Ah Li."

Wang Li was surprised: "Where are we going?"

The old horse said: "Of course it is to go to the council branch...Then William has already asked the council for help but still cannot escape death. This is not a trivial matter."

"Let's go to the council to find out about the situation."

Wang Li didn't say a word, he just couldn't figure out why his teacher was such a gossip?
However, the old horse could see what was going on in his mind at a glance.

"Don't think that I am simply curious, but must confirm the information!"

"This is not a trivial matter. If it is really escaped by some powerful evil spirit, then the city will have a tense time in the future."

Only then did Wang Li understand what the old horse was up to, and he felt ashamed of his previous malicious speculation.

It is indeed a very serious matter to say so. They cleaned up the grocery store, then closed the business, and drove to the council branch to learn about the situation.

They entered the underground garage and found that the second floor of the usually empty garage had already parked a lot of cars at this time.

"Everyone is here to find out the news."

Lao Ma said something, emphasizing the correctness of his decision.

Wang Li and Lao Ma walked quickly into the council.

I saw that many demon hunters had already gathered in this huge space below.

These are all those who stayed quietly in their own area on weekdays, and suddenly came out to watch and inquire when they heard the wind.

Lao Ma has been a demon hunter for decades, and he is quite familiar with these people.

As a result, when these people saw the old horse, they all looked like 'please forgive me', as if something happened to someone that the old horse cared about very much.

Wang Li asked: "Teacher, why does this seem to be related to you?"

The corner of Lao Ma's mouth twitched and said, "Impossible, I don't have any relatives now, and the only person I'm close to is you kid... Who else can be related to me?"

They walked to the top in doubt, and saw a set of amazing information displayed on the big screen above the office hall.

First, the photo of the carpet shown by William was shown above, and the bloodstains on it were clearly visible.

Immediately afterwards, the screen switched to a mummy wearing gold-rimmed glasses... This mummy looked decent in a suit and leather shoes, but now it was drained of every drop of bodily fluid.

The text next to it introduced the origin of this corpse...it was William!
No wonder Li Baisheng was in shock earlier, he must have seen this scene as well.

And then there's the outline of the incident...

In the beginning, William did report the case to the council according to what Lao Ma said.

Indeed, there was a witcher who took up the case.

But the problem is, according to the requirements of the council, the first wave of demon hunters who went there mainly focused on investigating the situation.

The demon hunter sent to investigate was more confident, thinking that he could solve the situation by himself.

The deceased, William, also had a big addiction to cooking, and he wanted to watch the whole process because he was a rich man...

As a result, the evil spirit in the carpet woke up, William, who was a soy sauce party, died tragically, and even the demon hunter who went to perform the task was seriously injured and one slightly injured.

They are now recuperating in the medical department of the council.

As for why everyone made 'sad' expressions to the old horse along the way?

Look at the information on the demon hunters with one serious injury and one minor injury above: three-star demon hunter Wenqin, minor injury (trauma wound); five-star demon hunter Lu Youdao, serious injury (destroyed spirit servant, leg disability, organ damage) ...

The old horse's face turned ugly in an instant, and then he immediately left the crowd in front of him and walked towards the medical department.

Wang Li followed behind, and he could see the old horse's hanging hand trembling nervously.

Back then, they should have been good friends.
