CHAPTER 598: CHAPTER 110_3

Along the way, whenever someone deliberately asked the fool what delicious thing he was holding, the fool would open his pocket and let them take it themselves.

When encountering children and the elderly, the fool would also give it away voluntarily.

By the time they reached the secluded spot that Li Zhiyuan wanted, the once-bulging bag had only a thin layer left.

The last time, that university expedition team must have given him a considerable guide fee, but he had already spent it all.

However, Li Zhiyuan didn’t think he did anything wrong because he really was a fool, unable to hold onto money like a fool would be.

The two sat down side by side, and Li Zhiyuan didn’t rush into the topic, instead saying,

"Actually, I don’t want to be this monster."

Some words seemed only to be spoken to a fool.

The fool looked at Li Zhiyuan in a fawning manner, then took instant noodles out of the bag, tearing the package with such force that the block of noodles fell to the ground.

The fool picked it up, hurriedly took a bite, and then carefully handed the noodle block to Li Zhiyuan.

"I don’t eat it."

The fool retrieved the noodle block and continued eating, a crunchy sound constantly emanating from his mouth.

Li Zhiyuan asked, "Can you see the Zeng family and the Zheng family?"

The fool said nothing, continuing to eat the noodle block as if he hadn’t heard.

Li Zhiyuan intensified his voice, "Speak."

The fool was startled and choked.

Li Zhiyuan had to pick up a bottle of soda, open the ring pull, and then hand it to him.

The fool took it and gulped down the whole can of soda, then let out a long burp.

"You can see the Zeng family and the Zheng family, both families had eaten the Big Fish some time ago."

"Yes, eating Big Fish, they ate it, they ate it."

"Have you seen any other strangers, a man and a woman, very young, carrying hiking backpacks, the woman very fair, the man walks with a swagger."

The fool continued eating the noodle block again.

"If you don’t answer, I’ll eat you."

The fool cried, starting to shout, "Bring me a batch of goods. Bring me a batch of goods. Bring me a batch of goods."

Li Zhiyuan pondered for a moment; he really connected with the fool’s brain circuit and imagined that scene.

Finding the phone couldn’t connect, asking the little convenience store lady if her phone was broken, she would prove it was fine by making a call herself.

Without surprise, the convenience store lady should have made three restocking calls yesterday.

The fool liked to hang around by the convenience store for candies, so he should have witnessed the process.

He really could see all three Min’an Towns!

"Did they say anything to you?"

The fool continued eating the noodle block.

Li Zhiyuan didn’t urge him to answer this time because Yin Meng and Binbin, no matter how much they sought to send messages, wouldn’t find a fool.

Similarly, neither did he dare to really tell the fool anything, even knowing that the fool could see through the three Min’an Towns, nor ask him to try to relay to Binbin and them.

*Who knew how he would twist words, completely reversing a sentence’s meaning.*

"Is there a very big fish in Zhengmen Village?"

The fool’s movement stopped, as if frozen.

But on closer inspection, one could see his eyeballs constantly moving.

Gradually, his facial muscles began to twitch, then his whole body started shaking.

"There is a big fish in the village, there are big people in the village, many, many people in the village..."

"Fool, how many people did you enter the village with last time?"

The fool stretched out both hands, ten fingers continuously raised and straightened; he couldn’t count this number.

Li Zhiyuan asked again, "How many people left the village in the end?"

The fool retracted all his other fingers, leaving only one right index finger, wiggling it excitedly in front of Li Zhiyuan.

"I want to go to Zhengmen Village, I need you to take me."

The fool shook his head frantically.

"If you don’t go, I’ll eat..." Li Zhiyuan stopped.

He seriously looked at the fool again.

The fool was so frightened by the boy’s gaze that he shivered a little, opened another pack of biscuits, and started putting pieces into his mouth.

Li Zhiyuan stood up, and the fool, scared, quickly scooted aside, dropping two pieces of biscuits on the ground.

Seeing this, the boy withdrew the Dragon King salute he was about to perform and sat down again.

Li Zhiyuan reached out, picked up a piece of biscuit from the ground, brushed off the dirt, rubbed it with his fingers, then put it in his mouth and took a bite, saying while chewing,

"I am a Corpse Recovery Diver."

The fool picked up the remaining piece of biscuit from the ground and put it into his mouth, muttering,

"Hehe, I am the one who stays in the village, the one eating."

"Fool, if that thing comes out of Zhengmen Village, then this town will become a second Zhengmen Village."

Upon hearing this, the fool’s chewing stopped, and he began to look around unconsciously. Unable to see clearly sitting down, he simply stood up and looked around, at those shops, those houses, that mountain, that water, those people.

Li Zhiyuan put the remaining half-piece of biscuit into his mouth, then clapped his hands,

"Fool, take me to Zhengmen Village, and get that thing."

"Okay."

...

Tan Wenbin put down his bowl and chopsticks.

Beside him, Hu Yiwei hadn’t taken a single bite because his stomach was full of compressed biscuits, swelling inside him.

After finishing the last half bowl of hot soup, Zeng Yinyin stood up and said,

"Come, Yiwei, I’ll take you upstairs to meet Miao Miao."

Hu Yiwei stood up.

But his wrist was grabbed by Tan Wenbin.

Tan Wenbin looked at Zeng Yinyin, "Why can’t Miao Miao come down, but he has to go up?"

Zeng Yinyin countered, "Why not?"

Hu Yiwei also said, "Binbin, how about this, I’ll go up and confirm things with Miao Miao, then I’ll drive back to Jinling with you."
