Chapter 181 The murderer is too cunning
With a gloomy face, Zhou Tong looked at a group of people from the branch family in front of him.

In the past two days, Zhou Tong has obviously aged a lot, and he doesn't know how he survived.

The most gifted son among the young children of this generation of the family was killed in the Demon Abyss.

Immediately afterwards, the daughter who had just married the old Yuanying family in the door also died in Weishan City.

Thinking of his two children, Zhou Tong wished he could skin off these trash.

"Tianfang stay here, the others go down..."

After hearing the uncle's words, a group of elders of the offshoot family left the house respectfully as if they had been pardoned.

Zhou Tianfang stood there bowed, feeling as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

Fortunately, the family uncle Zhou Tong didn't blame him too much.

After all, people cannot be resurrected after death, and Zhou Tong already understood the situation at that time, if Yun'er hadn't made her own claim, she wouldn't have suffered such a catastrophe.

"Tell me, how to catch the murderer next..."

Zhou Tianfang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, then took a deep breath.

"Uncle Clan, Tian Fang has an idea, but it needs the full cooperation of the family..."

Zhou Tong looked at him coldly, and said gloomyly: "You said the same thing last time, but the result..."

"Uncle Clan, it's not that my nephew is incompetent, it's that the murderer is too cunning..."

Hearing Zhou Tianfang's words, Zhou Tong waved his hands impatiently.

"Okay, I don't want to listen to nonsense..."

Zhou Tianfang took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Clan, I judge that the murderer has gone to Dongping Kingdom, which is a mortal country..."

"Dongping Kingdom..."

Zhou Tong was stunned for a moment. If the murderer was really hiding in Dongping Country, with the murderer's cunning, it would be difficult to find him.

"Uncle Clan, my nephew has an idea. It is definitely a perfect solution, but it needs the cooperation of Uncle Clan to use the secret method of blood path to determine the approximate location of the murderer."

Zhou Tong said suspiciously: "Dongping has a vast territory and a large population. Even if the murderer's location is determined, it will be extremely difficult to find him in the vast crowd."

Zhou Tianfang hesitated for a moment, his heart was also at war with heaven and man.

But when he thought of his nephew at home, he couldn't care less.

The murderer must be caught before the head cultivator arrives, or the juniors in the family will have no future.

Zhou Tianfang became ruthless, moved to Zhou Tong's side, and whispered a few words.

"What, how dare you..."

But at this point, Zhou Tong stopped, and when he thought of the tragic death of his son and daughter, he closed his eyes.

"Go down, let me think about it..."

Zhou Tianfang bowed and saluted, and then left the house.

Looking at the back of the other party, Zhou Tong opened his eyes and sat there motionless for a long time.

…………

Dongping Kingdom, Luoshui County City.

Luoshui County got its name from Luoshui. This big river crosses Dongping Kingdom, and its tributaries extend in all directions. It is a very important waterway traffic artery for Dongping Kingdom.

Luoshui County City is one of the important nodes of Dongping Country's waterway transportation, and countless ships pass here every day.

The wharf of the county city is on the bank of Luoshui not far outside the city, and boats are parked several miles along the river.

Merchant ships stop here to unload and restock, so they will inevitably stop here.

The ships and goods traveling from south to north have brought a large number of floating population and business opportunities to Luoshui County City.

Pedestrians are like weaving, and cars and horses are densely packed.

Carrying merchant ships full of salt, tea, grain and other goods, they are either pulled by the trackers or rowed by the boatmen, and there is no time to stop.

A morning rain in early summer washed away the turbid heat between heaven and earth.

A double-wheeled carriage full of bales of rice came from outside the city and stopped in an alley in the city.

A dark-haired man in his thirties jumped out of the carriage and stuck his whip to the side of the shaft.

"Birth, unloading..."

A man who was dozing off behind the car opened his eyes bewilderedly, and jumped out of the car.

His upper body was naked, his gown was draped over his shoulders, and his muscles seemed to be cast in steel. He easily picked up the two bags of rice on the cart and walked into the backyard of the rice shop.

The two moved very quickly, and within a short while, they finished unloading the rice on the cart.

The dark man drove the carriage and drove out of the city.

Su Fan wiped his face with the gown on his shoulders, sat cross-legged on the carriage, and looked at the scenery on both sides of the street curiously.

The streets of Luoshui County City are very bustling, full of bustling merchants, sedan chairs and carriages.

The restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the street are full of wealthy guests from the rivers and lakes, and there is an endless stream.

Everywhere you can see the son of the rich family, with a few servants, wandering around the dog for three or two days, playing with crickets and bird cages.

Ladies with oiled paper umbrellas came in and out of the exquisite jewelry shop in groups of three or four, chirping and excitedly choosing their favorite accessories and rouge and gouache.

Many small vendors picked up fresh melons and fruits and yelled and sold them along the street.

Su Fan looked at the bustling crowd on the street, enjoying the lively market atmosphere in a comfortable mood.

It's all so vivid.

The carriage drove out of Luoshui County City and arrived at a pier on the shore of Luoshui outside the city.

Warehouses can be seen everywhere here, as well as rice cloth tea and salt companies, as well as restaurants, teahouses and other various shops.

The wharf was full of coolie porters carrying shoulder poles. These coolie porters stood guard at the port before dawn, waiting for the cargo ship to berth and unload.

Anyway, as long as you have the strength, you can make a living here.

Su Fan has been here for more than ten days. He didn't want to be crowded on the pier with a bunch of bitter people every day, so he found a loyal and honest "cousin" Zhang Wu.

He used his spiritual sense to implant a memory in the mind of "cousin", so he became Zhang Wu's cousin who defected from his hometown.

Zhang Wu was driving in a warehouse, so he asked someone to recruit his cousin into the warehouse.

The work in the warehouse was not easy. The two of them worked hard all day and did not return home until the evening.

Zhang Wu is also bitter haha, of course he can't afford to live in the city, so he can only live outside the city.

Narrow and cramped mud houses and wooden houses are everywhere near the pier, the low streets are crowded, and there are foul-smelling sewers everywhere.

This is where the bitter haha ​​on the pier lives.

Fishermen selling fish nearby, farmers selling melons, fruits and vegetables, woodcutters selling firewood, and peddlers carrying goods through the streets and alleys kept coming and going, gradually forming a market.

The bazaar is full of noise, vendors are shouting loudly here, and unattended children are chasing and laughing everywhere.

The two walked through the chaotic market and came to a narrow alley.

Su Fan stopped in front of a dilapidated earthen house, waved to his cousin, and was about to open the door to enter the house.

"Your sister-in-law stewed fish today, let me ask you to go over to eat together..."

After hearing Zhang Wu's words, Su Fan shook his head and smiled honestly.

"I won't go, there is still leftover food from yesterday in the house, if you don't eat it tonight, it will go bad..."

Zhang Wu smiled and said: "Okay, after a while the fish is cooked, I'll ask Xiaozhi to bring you some..."

After he finished speaking, he touched Su Fan's shoulder in fear, turned around and walked deep into the alley.

Su Fan glanced at his cousin's back, turned around, opened the door and entered the house.

The earthen house was in dilapidated condition, not to mention the wind leaking everywhere, and it also leaked rain when it rained.

The house is only a dozen square meters in size, and the furnishings are very simple.

Except for the stove at the door, there was only a broken bed and a rickety wooden table, and the moldy and rotten wooden pier next to it was a stool.

To Su Fan, these were nothing.

The only thing that troubles him is that there is almost no aura in the world. Even though he has hundreds of bottles of "Xuanyu Pill" in his hand, the progress of his cultivation is still slow.

There is no way, this is the situation in the secular world.

Su Fan lit the firewood under the stove to warm up the leftovers from yesterday.

In fact, he was just putting on a show, in order to let others see the smoke rising from his house.

With his meal size, it is enough to feed a dozen families in this alley for a day.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Uncle, open the door..."

Hearing this voice, Su Fan smiled, stood up and opened the door.

Standing outside the door is a girl and a child, these are two children from my cousin's family.

My brother is nine years old, his hair is messy, and he hasn't washed it for an unknown amount of time. He is wearing a patched gown, which is obviously much bigger than a small body like bean sprouts.

The younger sister is only seven years old, with two shofar braids and a pair of bright eyes, and she wipes her nose with her dirty little hands from time to time.

Both of them were barefoot, and they had just stepped on the mud, and their feet and calves were covered with mud spots.

Brother Xiaozhi held a big bowl full of stewed fish, and showed it to Su Fan as if offering a treasure.

"Uncle, my mother asked me to bring it to you..."

Su Fan took it with a smile and put it on the wooden table behind him.

When he turned around, he saw the brother and sister looking at him expectantly.

Ever since my uncle from my hometown came, he would always secretly give them some good things that they had never eaten before.

My cousin's family background is average, similar to that of Kuhaha who lives here.

They get up early and work hard every day, that is, they can barely feed their families.

The brothers and sisters were about the same age as the children in his previous life.

Whenever he saw them, Su Fan would feel emotional and think of his daughter in the previous life.

So he is also willing to stay with the two children, and will give them some candied fruit, dried meat and fish.

How could the siblings resist such a temptation, they would go to play with their uncle every day.

Seeing the expectant eyes of the two children, Su Fan smiled.

Like a magic trick, he escaped from his arms and stuffed two handfuls of candied fruit into their hands.

Seeing the bright and translucent amber candied fruit, the eyes of the siblings lit up immediately.

My younger sister, Erya, has small hands, and she dropped a few of the preserved fruits when she picked them up, but she didn't think they were dirty, so she picked them up from the ground and stuffed them into her mouth.

Sitting side by side on the broken bed, the two brothers and sisters were eating preserved fruit with blissful faces. This may be the best food they have ever eaten in their entire lives.

These candied fruits are all picked from the fruit trees of the second-order spirit veins, and made with spirit honey.

Let alone them, even the dignitaries in the secular world, and even the emperor in the palace, cannot enjoy such treatment.

In front of his siblings, Su Fan pretended to take a bite of his meal.

Then he moved the wooden pier to the edge of the broken bed, let Erya sit in his arms, and helped her braid her hair while telling stories to the two children.

Su Fan didn't have much talent for storytelling, anyway, he just told whatever came to his mind.

For a while it is Legend of the Condor Heroes, and for a while it is seven gourd babies, and sometimes a little Two-dimensional is added, which is completely made up.

But the brothers and sisters had never heard of this before, and they listened intently with their eyes wide open.

It wasn't until the sister-in-law came over that she grabbed Xiaozhi by the ear and Erya's hand, kicking and scolding them and forcibly took them away.

Looking at the reluctant siblings, Su Fan smiled and shook his head.

Ever since he traveled to this world, Su Fan always felt a sense of alienation, and was always at odds with this world.

It was when he was with the two children these days that he felt such a kindness as if he had been in another world.

Su Fan went back to the house, took out a few pot helmets from the storage ring, chopped more than a dozen catties of minced meat and rolled them into the pot helmets, boiled a large pot of haggis soup, and then ate it in big mouthfuls.

After eating and drinking enough, he moved the broken bed, revealing a one-meter-square pothole.

Ever since he rented this earthen house, he has been digging tunnels non-stop.

He put the remnants of soil into the ring, and then fixed the walls of the tunnel with "fossil talismans".

He dug this vertical tunnel more than a hundred meters deep before starting to dig horizontally. Now this tunnel has been dug by him into the mountain more than ten miles away on the other side.

Moreover, he also arranged dozens of "explosive charms" in the pit, which would blow up the entire tunnel once activated.

Not only that, but the water from the Luoshui River will also be poured into the tunnel in an instant.

The exit of the tunnel is connected to a karst cave in the mountain, where the fork roads are complicated and changeable, and the terrain is winding and rugged.

Even if the monks in the Foundation Establishment Realm entered rashly, they still couldn't find the direction.

People often say that the cunning rabbit has three caves.

Even though Su Fan used the "turtle's breath method", his breath was no different from that of ordinary people.

Moreover, he was also among a bunch of bitter people, trying to find him in a densely populated secular country was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Don't be afraid of [-], just in case.

The magic door's method is too weird, he really dare not bet on it.

Su Fan thought about it, and then arranged another retreat for himself.

In the event of an accident, he can also enter the tunnel and quickly escape into the mountain on the other side.

These days, he sent Sister Zhen to fully understand the terrain of the cave, and made several escape routes.

Su Fan also visited the site a few times, followed several escape routes, and experienced it himself a few times.

At least in the winding and rugged cave, even if he was hunted down by several Foundation Establishment cultivators, Su Fan could still use the complex landform to escape.

The next morning, the sky was gray and hazy.

The sky began to drizzle, like a thin layer of mist, covering the rainy Luoshui River.

Thousands of strands of rain fell on the tile surface, and the cool wind blew, making it slightly chilly.

Su Fan had just finished his breakfast when he heard his cousin knock on the door.

"Have a baby, go to work..."

Su Fan hurried out of the house and followed his cousin to the warehouse.

Go out of the alley and come to the messy market outside.

It was early morning at this time, and the breakfast stalls selling steamed buns, hot soy milk, sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and farmers carrying vegetables, melons and fruits were all shouting and selling here.

Many bitter people who were rushing to work had a bite of breakfast at the market.

Su Fan walked forward slowly along with the bustling crowd, feeling the atmosphere of the world comfortably.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he glanced at the person next to him calmly.

"Evil repair..."
