‘Ten Yuan each person?’
They could only earn 8 yuan for ten tree pits they dug. Digging tree pits was completely different from planting trees. Although planting trees was more tiring, if they were split into groups, it would definitely be much easier than digging pits.
“Xi, is what you said true? 10 yuan per person? Are you kidding us?” Someone asked in disbelief.
Qin Xi said with a smile, “Why would I lie to you? As long as you plant the trees well, each of you will get 10 yuan. If you don’t believe me, I’ll invite the village chief over tomorrow. For every 30 trees you plant, you’ll be paid on the spot. How about that?”
Everyone believed her now and shouted, “Okay!”
In the evening, during dinner, Qin Xi talked about her encounters in Luoping City for the past two days. She did not mention anything about the cave. When everyone was asleep at night, she sneaked out.
“Aren’t you going to tell him? He has a right to know.”
The lamp man, Jiu Yuan, floated in front of Qin Xi, dispersing the darkness around her like a torch.
To be honest, if not for the fact that others could not see him, he would definitely be able to scare the wits out of everyone.
Qin Xi sneered as she walked. “I don’t want him to remember those painful memories. Don’t tell him about this.”
Jiu Yuan shrugged and looked at the dark night ahead. “Then what do you want to do?”
“It’s very simple. Let them reap what they have sown.” Qin Xi raised her chin and said with a smile, “They want to burn us to death, so I’ll give them a taste of their own medicine. However, I won’t allow them to do that at my house, so…”
“So what?”
“Lure them to Tao Po’s house. At her house, they can do whatever they want.”
After all, some time ago, the Qin family and the Shi family were frightened by Tao Po. They all thought that Tao Po was still lingering around in the form of a ghost. If anything happened to this group of people in Tao Po’s house, no one would suspect the Han family.
Jiu Yuan snapped his fingers and said with a sinister smile, “That’s easy. I’ll go and lure them over. You can do the rest yourself!”
As he spoke, he quickly floated away, instantly leaving Qin Xi surrounded by darkness.
Fortunately, Qin Xi’s mystic medicine technique had already reached the second level. Even in the dark night, she could clearly see everything around her.
When she arrived at Tao Po’s house, she drew a talisman on the outer wall. A small illusion array was formed. As long as those people were lured here, the illusion array would be activated. At that time…
Qin Xi’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
Back then, she had vowed to find the person who hurt Han Shi and make them pay a hundred times the price.
Now that the culprit had surfaced, how could she let go of such a good opportunity?
Time passed quietly. Half an hour later, light footsteps were heard in the distance. From the sound of it, there seemed to be a lot of people coming.
Someone asked softly, “San Zi, are you sure it’s here? Why do I feel that the route is wrong?”
“It’s this way. It’s not far ahead.” The person named San Zi felt a little guilty.
Now that it was dark, in order not to be discovered, they didn’t use a flashlight. Besides, they were not from the village and the houses in the village looked almost identical. For a moment, they thought they were lost.
However, fortunately, Jiu Yuan led them into the illusion array.
“Yes, right here!”
Looking at the group of people sneakily rummaging through the dilapidated mud house, Jiu Yuan raised his thumb at Qin Xi. “Good move. It’s absolutely a good move.”
Qin Xi smiled faintly. “Go and lure those two over. The show has just begun.”
