Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 363 Leaving the City

"Creak - creak -"

A dilapidated donkey cart slowly moved towards the city gate, loaded with feces that gave off a pungent stench that filled the air.

The guards guarding the city saw it from afar, frowned, covered their mouths and noses tightly with their hands, and looked disgusted.

When the donkey cart approached, one of the guards waved his hands impatiently and shouted, "Hurry up, hurry up! Don't dawdle here, it stinks!"

The old man driving the cart grinned naively, revealing a mouthful of incomplete yellow teeth. He put on a flattering smile and said, "Sir, didn't they say there are thieves in the city and that we have to check before leaving the city?"

"Checking your load of shit? Get out of here! Damn it! It stinks!"

The guard cursed and looked disgusted.

Seeing this, the old man dared not say anything more, and hurriedly patted the donkey's buttocks, shouting: "Old man, let's go quickly, don't let the officials be irritated."

The donkey felt pain and quickened its pace, "clacking clacking", and hurriedly passed through the city gate carrying the dung cart.

After leaving the city, the old man's eyes flashed with a shrewd look, and he quietly drove the donkey cart to a deserted corner. He looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that no one was there, he quickly ran to the cart and reached out to open the lid of one of the barrels.

There was not a drop of manure in the bucket, and there was a person curled up inside. This person was Qian Er.

Qian Er was originally nervous, but when the lid on his head was lifted, he instantly showed panic. When he saw that it was the old man, he heard the old man say with a smile, "Brother Qian Er, we are out of town."

Qian Er's face instantly turned happy.

He couldn't wait to jump out of the stinking barrel, his body covered with filth, but he didn't care at all, his face flushed with excitement.

The old man rubbed his hands aside, smiled, and spoke carefully: "Brother Qian, you see, you have successfully left the city. What you said before..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his index finger and thumb and rubbed them gently, hinting at a reward.

Qian Er glanced at the old man, a ferocious smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Old Yang, of course I have money, but..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the old man's hair, and smashed the old man's head against the manure cart.

"Bang!" A dull impact sound was heard, and blood instantly flowed from the old man's forehead. He staggered, and his whole body was dizzy. His eyes were full of fear and confusion.

Qian Er's face was full of ferocity, and he would not give the old man a chance to breathe. "Kill him while he is sick", Zhang Zhou had said this to him countless times, and at this moment, he used this saying to the fullest.

He grabbed the old man's head tightly again and smashed it against the manure cart again and again.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

...

Over and over again, using all my strength in each stroke.

Finally, Qian Er slowly loosened his hands, and collapsed to the ground as if he had lost strength.

He was breathing heavily, and he didn't even know how many times he had hit the old man. He only saw that the old man's head had become a bloody mess, a horrible sight.

Qian Er himself was covered in feces and the old man's blood, looking in a miserable state.

After resting for a while and recovering some strength, Qian Erqiang struggled to get up, searched the old man's body for a while, and took out a few taels of silver.

Looking at the silver, Qian Er grinned. Although it was not much, it was better than nothing.

Qian Er hid the old man's body in the dung cart and led the donkey, which had witnessed everything, all the way to the stream.

He first washed off the filth on his body, and then worked hard to wash off the blood on the dung cart. Then, he dragged the old man's body out, dug a deep pit by the stream, buried the body in it, filled it with soil, and carefully covered it with weeds.

The reason why Qian Er took so much pains was that he naturally had his own calculations.

He knew in his heart that escaping from Yanling City was only the first step. It would be extremely difficult to avoid being wanted by the government.

Moreover, having once experienced what it was like to be a superior person, how could he be willing to be an ordinary little person again?

The resentment in his heart spread like a virus, so he planned carefully and cruelly to harm Zhang Zhou, making Zhang Zhou a scapegoat to attract the attention of the government, and taking the opportunity to escape.

And this is just the beginning of his plan. After leaving Yanling City, he has a series of follow-up plans.

A plan that can put him back on top!

 …

Mingyue and Cheng Fengzi's faces were extremely gloomy and ugly.

They never expected that after spending a lot of energy and searching everywhere, they finally found a clue.

But when they were looking forward to getting something, when they finally found the target person, they discovered that the other person had no breath and turned into a cold corpse.

This result made Cheng Fengzi and Mingyue feel like a bucket of cold water was poured over their heads.

They worked for a long time, but ended up with nothing.

This feeling is so frustrating.

More importantly, Zhang Zhou occupies an extremely important position in this series of events in Yanling City.

According to their investigation, Zhang Zhou not only personally participated in the kidnapping incident, but also had a close connection with the person who instigated the incident.

He is like a key link, connecting many clues hidden in the darkness.

If we can catch him and get some information out of him, it will be of great benefit to the subsequent investigation.

However, now that he was dead, this link was suddenly broken, and all the clues related to it were lost. The desire to use Zhang Zhou to further explore the hidden forces behind him and the news of those missing people has become an impossible pipe dream.

Mingyue stared at Zhang Zhou's body with a frown. Suddenly, he suddenly remembered something. He looked anxious and said quickly, "Uncle Cheng, doesn't this guy have an accomplice? Maybe we can find a breakthrough from him."

Hearing this, Fengzi Cheng nodded slightly and responded, "Yes, I heard that the man's name is Qian Er. But when the robbery happened, the neighbors didn't see him. Maybe they have already parted ways and found their own way out."

Mingyue knew that Cheng Fengzi's guess was not unreasonable. After all, when disaster strikes, everyone will flee for their own safety. This kind of thing is possible.

His eyes were filled with resentment and anger, and he said bitterly: "Damn it! Our only hope now is to find Qian Er's whereabouts. If we can't find him, it will be harder than climbing to the sky to trace the missing people."

After hearing what Mingyue said, Cheng Fengzi reached out his hand, gently patted Mingyue on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, the law is vast and nothing can escape it. Qian Er won't be able to hide for long!"

Mingyue nodded and continued, "I'll go to the place where Zhang Zhou appeared and look for him. Maybe I can find some clues."

Having said that, he left.

Seeing this, Cheng Fengzi shook his head helplessly.

Although they had searched the places where Zhang Zhou appeared several times, Mingyue still wanted to look for clues, and he couldn't stop him, so he could only let him go.
