Chapter 73 A Complicated and Confusing Case
According to this extent, even Long Xi’s grandma should call Chief Long “uncle”.
Chief Long shakingly held his walking stick and asked Jiang Ba and other people, “What are you doing here? This is our altar. Don’t do ungodly things. Otherwise, the gods may punish you.”
Jiang Ba viciously said, “Open your fucking eyes and see clearly who we are. My father Jiang Dahu is the master of the Crocodile Gang, and this is…”
He was just about to introduce the girl dressed like a country girl but was stopped by her gesture. Apparently, she did not want other people to know her identity.
Jiang Ba had no way but to say, “This lady is also a big shot. Jiang Ba, the junior master of the Crocodile Gang, and me! We now commandeer the altar for an exorcism! Don’t interfere with us. Otherwise, we’ll set you straight.”
Long Xi bluntly replied, “Even if you are the Jesus, you cannot run amok in our scope!”
Jiang Dahu fished out his gun to point it at Long Xi, and said, “This is a real gun! If you don’t want to see a blood river in Intoxicating Aroma Village, go away now!”
Mo Kun and Xiaolu almost simultaneously walked up and protected Long Xi behind them.
Mr. Xu suddenly pointed to the mountain on the east side and shouted. “Look, there is Xian’er!”
Jiang Dahu changed his face and looked eastward in the direction Mr. Xu pointed.
On the peak of that mountain, a figure in red dress with long hair was hovering in the sky.
Because of the dim light on that side, they could not see the face of that figure.
Was that the ghost of Xu Xian’er? If it was a man, then why did it suspend in the sky?
All of a sudden, a clear, stentorian while sorrow voice went off there, “Ha-ha, your exorcism doesn’t work on me! Jiang Dahu, you’re the next one to die! You will come to a sticky end before long!”
The voice was so loud as if it were amplified through a megaphone. The direct distance between the figure and Long Xi was at least two kilometers, but all the people could hear it clearly.
Jiang Dahu looked around, but no one showed up, so he sneered and said, “You can play all the tricks you can! Tell you what, Mr. Yamamoto is the top Yin-Yang Master in the world.”
After he finished, his hair suddenly caught fire.
His scalp was burned off by the flame in a flash.
He gave off a plaintive screaming.
“Dad!” Jiang Dahu screamed. He was too shocked to move.
The woman who was thought to be Cheng Yimei moved backward as if she was afraid of the fire would burn herself.
Yamamoto Shang and those people in black stopped exorcism and blankly looked at Jiang Dahu far away.
Jiang Dahu collapsed suddenly, rolled over and screamed because of the pain.
Long Xi was the first to react to this emergency and asked, “Hydrant, where is the hydrant?”
Chief Long shook his head.
“What? Is the village too poor to have hydrants? What if in case of a fire?” Long Xi was speechless.
Uncle Zhao Si said, “There is one bought more than 10 years ago, but it doesn’t work now.”
At this critical moment, Xiaolu who was “scared out of his wits” now “regained his wits”. Then, he took off his expensive coat without hesitation and rushed towards Jiang Dahu to smother the fire.
But the fire was so furious that he could not put it out in a short time.
“Where is the nearest water supply?” Long Xi asked Uncle Zhao Si helplessly.
Uncle Zhao Si replied. “There is a well over there.”
Mr. Xu bellowed at Long Xi, “Why do you save such a horrible person?”
Pressed for time, Long Xi did not try to persuade Mr. Xu. She followed Uncle Zhao Si to the deep well. They fetched a barrel of water by pivoting the pulley.
She carried the barrel of water and rushed towards Jiang Dahu.
Jiang Dahu’s entire body was twitching.
She poured that barrel of water onto his head.
Half of Jiang Dahu’s head was burned off, and he was already dead. The blackened brains flowed out onto the ground.
Long Xi could not help rushing behind the tree and vomited.
Xiaolu retched and almost vomited.
Mo Kun calmly looked at Mr. Xu, whose expressions were just like the actors in the theatre—everyone showed on the stage.
Jiang Ba kneeled down, and he cried so loud that he almost shook heaven and hell.
The woman dressed like a country girl stayed away from the crowd just now, and she only approached now. She patted on Jiang Ba’s backpack and said sorrowly, “Ba, let bygones be bygones, I’m sorry.”
Jiang Ba cried and shed bitter tears. He was not too stupid. He knew very well that without Jiang Dahu’s support, he would live a hard life from now on.
That stentorian and resentful voice went off again, and she said, “Jiang Ba, don’t be sad, this is the consequences of your wrong-doings. He-he!”
The laughter was so horrible that Long Xi got goose pimples all over and her calves were continuously quavering.
That laughter stopped abruptly. Then the voice resumed. “Jiang Ba, do you know why I didn’t kill you directly? Because I don’t want you to die so quickly. I want you to experience all the sufferings of the world and then die in sorrow. You are nothing when you leave your father. Your half-sisters and half-brothers won’t let you off, not to mention those enemies against your family! I can assure you that your life will be worse than in hell. You’ll die far more tragically than me.”
Suddenly, Jiang Dahu stood up and said to the figure suspending in the sky with long red hair, “Xu Xian’er, I want your spirit to die too!”
Jiang Dahu said to Yamamoto Shang, “Mr. Yamamoto, help me to kill her!”
Yamamoto Shang replied. “I’m sorry. I’m Jiang Dahu’s consultant. Now that he is dead, I don’t know who will be the master of the Crocodile Gang. You are young with some courage but no brain, so I am afraid you will not get this position. In that case, why should I take orders from you? I even lost the Magic Black Stone just for helping you, and I do not know how to explain to my elder brother. I’d better go back to Fusang and ask about my elder brother’s opinion. Bye!”
After that, he jumped off the altar and left without a backward glance.
Those people in black dropped their torches and stamped on the fire to put them out. Then they left orderly following Yamamoto Shang.
Jiang Ba was quivering with anger but was powerless.
The woman like a countrywoman left Jiang Ba, caught up with Yamamoto Shang and said, “Mr. Yamamoto, the mountain paths are rugged, how about a ride with me in my private helicopter?”
“Cheng Yimei, stop! You murderer! You killed Jiang Dahu !” Long Xi rushed towards the woman and shouted.
