What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 431 Sleepless Rainy Night (Part 2)

The footsteps stopped at the door of their courtyard, and they could be judged to be two adult men.

Soon, Xiang Kun was able to confirm from the smell that these two men were brothers Liu Zhengyi and Liu Gaoshang who met them halfway when they came to Chongyun Village to look for Liu Caifu years ago.

When these two brothers tried to cheat on Xiang Kun and the others, their original intention was to please Liu Feibao, but in the end they failed and were caught and taught a lesson by Liu Feibao, and then they apologized to Xiang Kun in despair.

Because Liu Caifu was the guarantee at that time, Xiang Kun did not embarrass them.

When I returned to Tongshi Town this time, I heard Liu Caifu mention that the two brothers had also been staying in Chongyun Village during this period, working for two breeding farms respectively. It was said that they were quite peaceful and hard-working, and they did not cause any trouble.

There was a knock on the door, which was not loud. Xiang Kun could feel that Liu Zhengyi, who was knocking on the door, seemed a little cautious, even uneasy.

Xiang Kun walked over and opened the courtyard door, looked at the Liu brothers standing outside, and asked, "Is something wrong?"

Maybe it was because there were no obvious footsteps when Xiang Kun came to open the door. The door suddenly opened, making Liu Zhengyi startled and subconsciously took two steps back. When he saw it was Xiang Kun, he quickly said: "Brother Xiang... uh ...Xiang...Mr. Xiang, we heard from Uncle Six that you were living in the village during this period, and just...wanted to come...that...say hello..."

Hearing his elder brother's stumbling words, his younger brother Liu Gaoshang, who was standing behind, couldn't help but remind him in a low voice: "Brother, stuff."

Only then did Liu Zhengyi react. He handed over the two bags he was carrying, placed them by the door, and said, "Mr. Xiang, here are some free-range eggs raised in our village, as well as two guinea fowls. My brother and I It has been killed, and the hair must be plucked. Also, this is the famous plum wine in our village, made by my relatives, and it tastes very good..."

Xiang Kun didn't wait for him to finish, but interrupted: "If you bring it back, you will get no reward for no merit."

"It's not a road, it's not a road. Didn't I accidentally offend Mr. Xiang and Mr. Xiang's friends before? It's just that...that's...a little apology, a little intention." Liu Zhengyi said quickly.

Seemingly seeing that there was no change in Xiang Kun's expression, Liu Zhengyi hesitated for a moment and then said: "I heard from Uncle Six that Mr. Xiang wants to build a large breeding base in the village... We brothers have also been in the village during this time. Work in the breeding farm, so... well... as Uncle Six said last time, if you are short of manpower when you build the breeding base, just say it and provide food and accommodation..."

Xiang Kun knew that the "sixth uncle" he referred to was Liu Caifu. Although Liu Caifu is not old,

But the seniority in Chongyun Village is quite high.

Because of the "conflict" between the two, Liu Feibao asked Chu Xiuwen and Liu Caifu to set up a line, treat Xiang Kun to a meal, and apologize. At that time, Liu Caifu's advice was to ask the Gao brothers to go back and go to Xiang Kun to do it in the village. Work on the farm for a year.

At that time, neither the breeding farm nor the research base had been seen yet. Liu Caifu's words were actually because the two of them had not really done any serious evil, and they were from the same village, so he was helping them escape.

However, Xiang Kun heard Liu Caifu say that the two brothers came to him on their own initiative after that day, saying that they would fulfill their contract and moved back to the village, so he introduced them to work in two breeding farms respectively. Unexpectedly, they actually I've been working on it, at least for nearly a month now, and nothing has happened.

Liu Caifu also said that the two brothers would often bring him something to send, chat with him for a few words, and occasionally mentioned Xiang Kun, being very curious about his identity and showing awe in their words.

Although he didn't have much contact with them, Xiang Kun could roughly guess the psychology of the two brothers based on his observations during several meetings and some information he got from Liu Caifu.

In fact, they have a very simple mentality of worshiping and following the strong. Previously, Liu Feibao was the "supreme" of Tongshi Town in their minds, so they would want to please Liu Feibao and even take it upon themselves to "conquer Xiang Kun" A group of people.

And now, they are trying to please and approach Xiang Kun because they believe that Xiang Kun has a higher status and stronger strength than Liu Feibao, and they feel that they can have a better future by following him.

Xiang Kun had already collected a lot of sensory information from the moment he opened the door. Although the two brothers Liu Zhengyi and Liu Gaoshang had obviously taken a shower and changed clothes, they could still smell a trace of chicken and duck feces and feed. At the same time, judging from Liu Zhengyi's physiological state when he just spoke, although he was very nervous, he was indeed not hostile to himself.

After Xiang Kun heard what he said, he directly mentioned the things they sent and said, "Thank you for the gift. I will let you know when I need it later."

He did not explain to the Gao brothers that the area currently under construction was no longer the breeding base Liu Caifu mentioned before, but a research base in the name of breeding research.

Anyway, some necessary staff will be needed at that time. According to the cognitive model he established for the Gao brothers, there won't be too many variables beyond his control. It's okay to use them to do some work.

Moreover, both of them are locals of Chongyun Village, so it will be easier to deal with many things in the future. After all, Liu Caifu cannot be asked to step in for everything. He and Lao Xia also have other things to do, so they cannot be distracted by too many trivial matters.

Seeing Xiang Kun carrying his things back to the courtyard and closing the courtyard door again, Liu Zhengyi was stunned for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

After Liu Gaoshang followed his brother back for a while, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother, when you told Mr. Xiang to inform us later, does that mean... you agreed?"

"Nonsense, of course I agreed!" At this time, Liu Zhengyi lost all his nervousness in front of Xiang Kun and said to his brother with certainty: "If you are willing to accept our things, the matter will be settled."

In fact, before they went to Xiang Kun, they visited Liu Caifu first. According to their original idea, they wanted to scrape together some money, or even borrow some money, to make the gifts delivered to their door more presentable, at least to buy some cigarettes and wine. However, this idea was severely criticized by Liu Caifu, telling them that even if they came empty-handed, it would be better than giving those things. So finally, at Liu Caifu's suggestion, they got some free-range eggs and guinea fowl as gifts and went to see Xiang Kun.

Judging from the current results, it is obvious that the opinions given by their "sixth uncle" are very useful.

Mr. Xiang is definitely not rare for those souvenirs, but his willingness to accept them represents his attitude of accepting the brothers.

However, after hearing his brother's words, his younger brother Liu Gaoshang didn't show any happy expression, and his face was a bit bitter: "Are we really going to work as laborers in Mr. Xiang's breeding farm?"

For more than half a month, he had been working at the breeding farm in the village that Liu Caifu introduced him to, and he was really fed up. If his brother hadn't told him to give him harsh words, he would probably have gone to the breeding farm on his first day. He ran away.

"Don't worry, the breeding farm built by Mr. Xiang and 'Brother Fu' will definitely not be like the old black pig's shabby breeding farm. The environment is much better." Liu Zhengyi comforted him. In private exchanges between the two brothers, they were still It is customary to call Liu Caifu "Brother Fu".

Liu Gaoshang's expression became even more bitter: "No matter how good the environment is, isn't it just raising pigs, chickens, ducks and geese? Or feeding feed and cleaning excrement? How big a difference can it make? Brother, we really have to be like 'Brother Fu' before" As you said, will your year's work be in vain for Mr. Xiang and the others? Brother, let's... go to the town to find work? Is it even a battery-powered car delivering food or express delivery? In Chengtianwo Village, looking at the sows now I feel like I have a pretty face..."

Liu Zhengyi slapped his younger brother on the head angrily and cursed: "Didn't I explain to you why 'Brother Fu' said that in the first place? With Liu Feibao's behavior, we have caused such a big trouble for him. Even if Mr. Xiang doesn't care, he will definitely want us to look good when he looks back. 'Brother Fu' is protecting us! Put together, how much can we earn even if we work non-stop for 365 days a year? Wages? Just like the souvenirs we gave you, do you really think Mr. Xiang would care about them?"

Liu Gaoshang touched his head and sighed: "Brother, can we really get ahead like this? Mr. Xiang and the others are running a breeding farm, not a big hotel or a big company..."

"I was wrong about the 'Pig Head Treasure' last time, but I was right this time!" Liu Zhengyi said confidently: "Last time I saw that Liu Feibao, Mr. Chu, and Brother Fu were all very polite and polite to Mr. Xiang. Pay attention, he should have a lot of background. During this time, I know that Brother Fu has been keeping an eye on Mr. Xiang’s construction site in person, and Mr. Chu often comes to the village to see Brother Fu. The road currently being built in our village The road was invested by the Haoguo Group in the provincial capital. Zhutou Bao, Mr. Chu, Brother Fu, as well as the village and town all invested money, so all the troubles that had been unresolved before were solved, and construction started quickly. How long has it been since we've almost finished building a driveway? What do you think this means?"

Liu Gaoshang was stunned for a moment: "What...what?"

"Do you still remember why Zhu Toubao wanted to check Mr. Xiang and his friend's car?"

"It seems... there was a rear-end collision on the road and there was some friction?" Liu Gaoshang thought for a moment and said.

"At that time, there was a big boss from the provincial capital sitting in Zhutou Bao's car. Zhu Tou Bao wanted to do big business with him, so he was very worried. It is said that the big boss was severely beaten by Mr. Xiang after the rear-end collision. Dun, dejectedly returned to the provincial capital. I confirmed a few days ago that the big boss from the provincial capital is Qi Haoguo, the boss of Haoguo Group. Think about Zhu Toubao's subsequent attitude and why he was so cruelly exploited by Mr. Xiang Boss Qi, who was beaten up and lost face, rushed to build a road when Mr. Xiang planned to build a breeding base in Chongyun Village? "

Seeing that his younger brother was stunned for a while, he seemed to understand a little, and seemed to have more questions. Liu Zhengyi thought for a while and said: "Anyway, I'm asking for leave today, so I might as well go to town to have a good meal in the evening. I'll tell you carefully. Be clear so that you don’t get confused in the future.”

The Liu brothers went home and rode their motorcycles to Tongshi Town. They had a meal from 5 pm to almost 9 pm while Liu Zhengyi was talking about it.

Because the rain was a bit heavy, the two of them didn't bring raincoats, so they simply played arcade games in the game hall next to the restaurant where they ate. It wasn't until the early morning that the rain subsided a bit before they rode back to the village on their motorcycles.

The house of the Liu brothers in the village has not been renovated. It is just a one-story bungalow. It looks relatively dilapidated and has no electrical appliances. They did not even buy a TV or refrigerator. After all, the two brothers lived in the town before. After returning to the village a few years ago, they only came back at night to sleep. They even slept in the farm most of the time, so they didn't care if the house was broken down.

But after returning home today, the brothers suddenly discovered that their home had been robbed? !

Looking at the messy bedroom, Liu Zhengyi turned back to his dazed brother and asked, "Did you leave the door unlocked when you went out?"

Liu Gaoshang looked confused: "We have never locked the door in this shabby house... Who the hell would come here? Besides, our lock seems to be broken and it can't be locked!"

Indeed, they didn’t even have anything valuable at home, let alone money. Who would come to steal things? You don't even need to come in. Just by looking at the appearance of their house, you should know that there is nothing to steal!

"Yeah! I seem to be missing some clothes. My favorite pair of pants, damn, my coat is gone too!" Because there were few things, Liu Zhengyi opened the cabinet and took a look, and soon found that it was missing. s things.

Not only did he lose his clothes and pants, his younger brother Liu Gaoshang also lost two pieces, but they were all coats, dried meat distributed by the farm, and some snacks, and the only umbrella in the house was also missing.

Liu Zhengyi was very angry, and the good mood brought by Xiang Kun's "promise" was wiped out. He wondered if there was someone in the village who was unhappy with the brothers and deliberately messed with them. He took his mobile phone and started checking around the house. .

Although it had rained heavily before, he still saw some traces in the mud outside the house. There were obviously shoe prints of two people. Judging from the size, they were both men.

"Brother, are those your clothes?" Liu Gaoshang's voice came from the distance.

Liu Zhengyi walked over with his mobile phone and stood side by side with his younger brother on the muddy roadside overgrown with weeds. He looked down the slope next to him. Under the light of his mobile phone, he could vaguely see a few pieces of clothing. They had come back to take the motorcycle. When I was in town, these clothes didn’t exist there.

"No, my clothes don't have that color." Liu Zhengyi shook his head, but when he was about to walk away, he thought of something again. He came back and took a careful look with the "flashlight" of his mobile phone for a while, and said to his brother: "You Go pick it up and take a look."

"Since it's not yours, and it's not mine, why did you pick it up? It just rained, and it's very slippery. If you go down there and get all muddy, I won't go..."

"Damn! There weren't any when we left in the afternoon, but there are now. It proves that those were probably thrown away by thieves who stole our clothes! Come on, be fair, rock, paper, scissors, whoever loses gets it, don't say I'm your brother Bullying you!"

A few minutes later, Liu Gaoshang, who was covered in mud, came back dragging a few wet clothes and pants, threw them in front of his brother, and said angrily: "What's the use of picking these up? Can you still find someone with these clothes?" "

Liu Zhengyi squatted down and carefully identified the clothes with his mobile phone. He even used the water next to him to wash the mud on a pair of pants so that he could confirm the color.

"No...Brother, you don't want to wash these clothes and wear them, do you? Brother...we haven't reached that point yet..." Seeing Liu Zhengyi's behavior, Liu Gaoshang didn't care about the stains on his body. Feeling muddy, he stretched out his hand to pull his brother up.

Liu Zhengyi slapped Liu Gaoshang's hand back, and said with a solemn expression and a little excitement: "You idiot, use your brain! These clothes were changed by thieves who stole our clothes! Think about it, before we When we were eating in town, the content of the local news on TV..."

"What...content?" Liu Gaoshang looked confused.

Liu Zhengyi sighed and said: "Fugitives! Fugitives from Wu Shushan Prison! After escaping from prison, those two fugitives stole clothes from nearby villagers! The police reported that the pants they stole were all blue cloth pants. A factory uniform! Look at these pants again. Are they blue cloth pants? Do they look like factory pants? "

"What the hell...how did these two fugitives come here?" Liu Gaoshang also squatted down, checking the clothes and wondering: "How come they weren't caught along the way?"

Liu Zhengyi looked back at the distant mountains and the dark night sky with no moon or stars. It seemed that another heavy rain was brewing. He murmured: "I'm afraid they didn't come from the main road. They took a detour all the way and came from the mountains." Yes. Look at these pants, they are all torn. No wonder they have to go to our village to get clothes and food. Now...I am afraid they will go into the mountains again."

Liu Gaoshang was stunned for a moment, suddenly thought of something, took out his mobile phone to check, and then said excitedly: "Brother! These two fugitives are very valuable, one hundred thousand, and the bonus is one hundred thousand! This is so awesome! Brother, they They must have entered the mountain from the Paikou side. Let’s find some guys to take with us and go into the mountain to catch them? One hundred thousand!”

"Catch you!" Liu Zhengyi glared at him and cursed: "Those are two escaped convicts, real desperadoes, two against two, who might do who? What's more, the mountain is so big, who knows where they are now Now, how can we find the two of us? If you search online, the reward mentioned by the police should be for providing clues to help the arrest. As long as you follow the clues we provide and directly help the police catch the person, you will be rewarded. "

So Liu Zhengyi thought for a while, sorted out his language, and then called the police. He told the police what they saw after the brothers returned home, the clothes they found, and their speculations.

After calling the police and providing clues, Liu Zhengyi said to his younger brother: "Let's go to Brother Fu's house and inform him."

"Why?" Liu Gaoshang was stunned, and subconsciously said: "The police haven't come to confirm our news yet. If too many people know about this, and everyone calls the police, will our bonus be lost?" ?”

"We speculate that the two fugitives have entered the mountain, but what if they haven't? What if they are still in the village? Brother Fu is the deputy director of the village, so we should look for him. Looking back... we can also look for Mr. Xiang by the way. , their yard is also relatively remote, so you have to be on guard."

"Oh..." Liu Gaoshang understood what his brother meant.

When the brothers rushed to Liu Caifu's house on their motorcycles, they found that Mr. Chu Xiuwen was also at Deputy Director Liu's house, and it was so late that they were still drinking and chatting.

At this time, the two men wearing the clothes of brothers Liu Zhengyi and Liu Gaoshang were marching hard in the mountains.

The weather was bad, there was no moonlight, and the two of them did not dare to use flashlights in the mountains and forests. It was really difficult for them to move. The ground was still slippery after the rain, and they almost fell down and rolled down the mountain several times.

Rumble, a bolt of lightning tore through the sky, and then thunder exploded, echoing in the mountains.

It looks like another heavy rain is coming.

"Damn it! What a fucking bullshit weather!" After his foot slipped again and he almost fell, the man walking in front began to curse.

The other man behind him had a much calmer voice: "Old Ding, you have to thank the weather. If it hadn't been for this thunderstorm and heavy rain, which affected the police's drone, we might not have been able to get here."

"This walk is really...too difficult. It rained so heavily before...those chasing us should have stopped, right?" The man in front of us called "Old Ding" stopped and gasped.

The voice from behind sneered: "Do you think the heavy rain can stop the people chasing us?"

Old Ding naturally knew the answer. He shook his head helplessly and continued to walk hard: "Old Doufu, do you think... can we leave?"

The man known as "Lao Doufu" replied with an indifferent voice: "It's just a one-in-a-thousand chance to win. Wait... there seems to be someone in front."

Old Ding obviously noticed the situation. Less than ten meters away from them, there was a figure in a raincoat standing next to a tripod and looking back at them.

Obviously, the other party has also discovered them.

Lao Ding took advantage of the situation and smiled and said: "Brother, we went to the mountains to play with friends, but we encountered a heavy rain before and got separated while taking shelter. Brother, does your mobile phone have a signal? Can you lend us a call?" "As he said that, he slowly closed the distance and put his right hand into his pocket.

"Old Doufu" also followed closely, and secretly took out a short knife and carried it behind his back.

For these two desperadoes, no matter whether the people they meet by chance recognize them or guess their identities, they cannot let each other go.

After the distance was shortened, through the faint light emitted by various electronic devices and electronic screens that were also covered with raincloths around each other, the two suddenly discovered that the tall figure wearing a raincoat turned out to be a quite good-looking young woman!

And this woman seemed to be very calm, just looking at them indifferently, without fear, fear, surprise, or doubt, as if the appearance of the two of them was natural?

The moment she pulled out the short knife from behind, a thought suddenly occurred to "Old Doufu": She appeared in this deep mountain in the middle of the night, in such bad weather, with so many equipment, she couldn't be alone?

At this moment, the companion in front screamed, staggered, and almost fell.

"There's something, something suddenly appeared in front of me! A big lump!" Old Ding was in a panic and couldn't care about anything else. He took out the flashlight he was carrying and turned it on to shine forward.

"Old Doufu" noticed that when Old Ding was frightened by something, the beautiful woman in the raincoat quickly raised her right hand and leaned forward, as if ready to pounce on it.

But it seems that for some reason, she changed her mind and stayed where she was.

Soon, under the bright light of Lao Ding's flashlight, "Old Doufu" also realized the reason for her to stop - there were several coins floating in the air in front of her.

what's the situation?

After noticing this scene, "Old Doufu" stopped, but held the knife in his hand tighter.

The scene in front of me is really weird.

What's even weirder is that, by the light of the flashlight, Old Ding bent down and picked up the thing that had just startled him from the ground - was it...a piece of pig's trotter?

But both of them knew very well that the pig's trotters were not thrown by the beautiful woman in the raincoat, but appeared "by themselves"!

Those coins suspended in the air were distributed around the beautiful woman in the raincoat, as if they were a group of "bodyguards".

After the beauty in the raincoat raised her head and glanced at the night sky, she suddenly made an even stranger move.

She quickly took off the camera that was facing far away from the tripod and stuffed it into her arms, and then...

Squatting down with your head in your hands? !

The two of them were stunned, and suddenly seemed to sense something, and subconsciously looked up at the sky.

In the dark sky, several rays of lightning surged, and there was a faint roar of thunder. Then all the lightning disappeared, and the surroundings seemed to fall into silence. But in the next moment, a crack-like lightning spread rapidly from far to near, tearing the sky apart.

Then the two of them suddenly had the illusion that the electric light was directly connected to the ground?

It was as if the earth and the sky were connected by this electric light.
