Chapter 54: The group is all called the White Bone Demon, right?
The sun shone for one day, and then it snowed heavily for the next few days.
Police officers and volunteers worked day and night to clear the snow and ensure people's livelihoods.
The White Bone Demon went out in his car every day, and as more and more private vehicles returned, he saw many people with abnormal yang energy.
Being able to do the work of two people means you must be a physically strong athlete who trains every day.
As for migrant workers, although they are strong, they don't eat well on a daily basis, resulting in many hidden injuries. They endure minor injuries and illnesses on their own, completely ignoring their physical condition.
He had seen many workers, but few could do the work of two.
As for one person being worth three, he had only seen two, and that was a few years ago, one of whom died of lung cancer.
Those who are even stronger are not ordinary people; they are at least martial artists.
When did there become so many martial artists?
This is very wrong.
Who are the people returning to their hometowns now?
Most of them are factory workers who tighten screws, assembly line workers, and a small number are migrant workers on construction sites.
However, one person emerged who was ranked third or fourth.
"It's just the new district... no, they're just passing through the new district."
The White Bone Demon touched her smooth jawbone, pondering the situation of these people.
These people became stronger while they were away from home, and now they're just back for the New Year.
It's not just the Jiangcheng Special Economic Zone that's changing; similar changes are occurring all over the world.
"Did they plan this together? Why didn't they send me a notification?"
The White Bone Demon was unhappy.
They're all weird. They were all quiet before, but suddenly they all showed up, right?
I'm a White Bone Demon, a legitimate monster, and you didn't even send me a message to let me know?
Ding Dong
The phone rang.
Aunt Qin: "Little Gu, could you leave me a pig and half a cow?"
"Why do you need so much?" Gu Bai asked, somewhat surprised.
Aunt Qin: "It's all because of my little rascal. He and his colleagues are always out and about, and he can't eat properly. He asked me to prepare food for him to take with me, but it won't last more than a few days."
Gu Bai: "No problem. I'll haul the pigs tonight, and my friend will haul the cows. I'll ask him to leave you half a head."
Next up were Aunt Liu and Aunt Wang, who not only had to entertain their children when they returned, but also their guests.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, everyone is busy preparing for the holiday.
Now, in addition to these few middle-aged women, there are more than a dozen other middle-aged women on Bai Gu Jing's phone, all from this area of the new district.
They're all ordering meat.
Aunt Yun: "Little Gu, could you save me two pigs? My daughter is getting married, and meat is hard to come by. I'll give you a big red envelope."
"Okay, I'll deliver it to your door tomorrow."
Having witnessed the prowess of these middle-aged women, the White Bone Demon naturally had to serve them well.
Those who can get along with Aunt Qin are at least from middle-class families.
When the time came, Gu Bai drove off.
Gu Qingyi sat in the passenger seat with practiced ease: "Things haven't been peaceful lately, so we have to be careful."
"When has there ever been a peaceful day?" Gu Bai said dismissively.
"A truck was robbed the day before yesterday, and all the livestock on board disappeared," Gu Qingyi said.
"Isn't there a police escort?"
"Sacrificed."
Gu Qingyi said heavily, "The message they sent back before their sacrifice was deliberate; five people robbed us on the road."
"Are they really that daring?" Gu Bai exclaimed in surprise. "They wouldn't be short of money to do something like this, would they? Besides, aren't the police armed?"
"Human nature is unpredictable. The other person was lying on the roadside. I went down to help him but was ambushed. Afterwards, four people rushed out."
Gu Qingyi explained, "They must also be martial artists. Nowadays, even the police station staff practice martial arts, so even if an ordinary person is prepared to launch a sneak attack, it would be impossible for them to succeed."
The White Bone Demon pondered, "There's no clue about the livestock?"
"The fallen colleagues and driver were drained of blood, and the livestock all disappeared."
Gu Qingyi shook her head: "The surveillance cameras and dashcams were all jammed. The images are blurry, and you can only see a few people, but you can't tell who they are. They didn't leave any traces either. They went into the river, so we can't track them down anymore."
After the robbery, they went straight into the river, erasing all traces and leaving no trace.
That means there are your own kind behind you.
Tsk, foolish fellow humans, still resorting to underhanded tactics.
Something that can't be presented in public.
They manipulated four people to ambush and rob the livestock, but instead of directly absorbing the livestock's yang energy, they took them away.
Are they planning to keep them in captivity?
Raising thirty or forty cows without them being discovered and for a long time is also troublesome.
But if that could be achieved, it would mean producing a continuous supply of food.
The White Bone Demon was somewhat envious, but not really, because he had no land to raise cattle.
We are already very satisfied to have three unfortunate people who can produce stable grain.
Eager to return home, the private car sped past the truck and disappeared into the distance.
A cool breeze rippled through the ice cream, which it also sensed—those fleeting bursts of pure yang energy.
If he hadn't reformed, he probably would have been chasing after her long ago.
As night fell, the vehicle arrived in Xiahe Town.
I came here to pick up cattle last time; this time it's a pig farm.
It was originally acquired by CP Group, but now there are few drivers, the world is in chaos, and many township cooperations have been broken.
These are just small farms. CP Group also has its own large-scale farms, so cutting off these smaller ones won't have much of an impact.
The trucks dispersed, heading to various villages.
Gu Bai arrived at the Zhengda Hetu Breeding Farm. Now Zhengda is gone, only Hetu remains.
"Boss Gu is finally here! Come inside and warm yourself by the fire. We're roasting sweet potatoes, homegrown ones, they're so sweet and delicious."
The owner of the farm, Lin Wei, was very enthusiastic.
"Don't be shy, I ate before I came, I can't eat anything now." Gu Bai smiled and politely declined his cigarette: "Just load it into the car, let's get back early, the roads will be icy tonight."
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu, everything is arranged."
Lin Wei invited them to sit down and took a sweet potato from the brazier: "Gu Zhian, please have one."
"Then I'll try it," Gu Qingyi said without any hesitation.
In the dead of winter, it's the perfect time to eat roasted sweet potatoes.
"Okay, Gu Zhian, try some. We also have tangerines and navel oranges here, they're all delicious, don't be shy." Lin Wei said enthusiastically.
The White Bone Demon warmed herself by the fire, saying, "Boss Lin, don't be so polite. I won't delay payment, so you can rest assured."
"Haha, I trust Boss Gu. We all know your reputation," Lin Wei said with a smile. "I just wanted to ask if we could cooperate long-term. I have a few friends here."
"You talk to Liu Wu about this. I'll be responsible for pulling the cart. If he says he'll take it, I'll take it," Gu Bai said, waving his hand.
Gu Qingyi peeled the sweet potato and handed it to Gu Bai: "Would you like to try some?"
"Really, you don't need to. You can eat it yourself." Gu Bai was grateful for her kindness, but hoped she wouldn't be so kind.
Gu Qingyi wasn't disappointed. She took a bite of sweet potato and asked, "Boss Lin, have anything strange happened in the village or town lately?"
"Strange things? I know what Gu Zhian wants to ask."
The strange things are no longer a secret. Lin Wei took a drag of his cigarette: "Nothing strange, it's just that the young man who came back was a bit unexpected."
"The young people who have returned? Who exactly?" Gu Qingyi asked quickly.
"Lin Yong, from the seventh team of Linjia Village, was known as Lin Lao Er. He used to be sickly and would get out of breath after running a few steps. He worked in a clothing factory."
This time he came back saying he'd found a master and learned martial arts. When he was slaughtering a pig, he single-handedly held it down, leaving the butcher completely dumbfounded.
Lin Wei lowered his voice as he said this: "And this person has changed. Although he used to be in poor health, he was honest and even a little shy. Now he is very arrogant and doesn't respect anyone."
