Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 749 The Wake-up Service

Zhang Jian and Ge Chunrong cannot do anything for their own reason.

On the contrary, Gao Ge doesn’t have so many concerns.

Does he fear that the people of the Ghost Sect may be alerted if he makes a fuss about it?

Then, he may as well kill the thief and bury the corpse in the yard.

Cai will have a hard time living in the village after he leaves? He can just take her away. After all, he is about to establish his own sect. It won’t be a big deal to take a disciple back with him.

Hei comes near and wants to bite the man but it is stopped by Gao Ge, “I’m right here. Stay out of this.”

Hei is obedient to Gao Ge so it stops rushing forward and lies aside docilely, sticking out its tongue. Yet, it still gazes vigilantly at the man who wanted to climb over the wall and break into the yard.

“What did you throw in here?” Gao Ge stands before the man and asks.

The man thrown inside by Gao Ge is 37 or 38 years old or so, wearing a linen gown with long hair. His hair is also tied up into a braid. He will be deemed as grotesque by the people outside the village but in Red Fish Village, many men all look like this. Hence, his appearance is not special at all.

“Bo...bones.”

“Bones?” Gao Ge laughs and says, “You came here to feed Hei deliberately?”

The man seems to be enlightened and then hastens to nod his head, “Yes, yes, yes, I came here to feed Hei.”

Gao Ge gives him a slap in the face mercilessly.

“You...” Slapped by Gao Ge, the man is startled and confused.

“Do you think I’m a fool? Are you insulting my intelligence? Needless to say, those are bones, but you came here to feed Hei deliberately? Are you looking down upon me? Of course, you can insist on your statement. Yet, I will stuff the bones into your mouth,” Gao Ge says with a sneer.

Hearing Gao Ge’s words, the man is instantly frightened, his eyes also full of fear. He keeps swinging his hands.

“No. No!”

Gao Ge is amused.

“What’s wrong?” Xie Zhuolian and Cai, who have also heard the noises, get out of their room too.

Cai is a bit surprised to see the man in the yard.

“Uncle Hu? Why are you here?”

The man sees Cai as if seeing the savior and then hastens to shout, “Cai, come and help me! These bad people living in your house want to beat me!”

“Beat you?” Gao Ge is disgruntled at once, “Uncle Hu, you are wrong. I don’t mean to beat you. What I want to do is kill you and bury your corpse.”

“You are such a brute!” Uncle Hu thinks.

It is a good thing that he doesn’t voice out his thought.

If he really says that, Gao Ge will surely slap him in the face and snap, “Why would I show mercy for you?”

“Brother Gao, what’s going on?” Cai hurries forward and asks.

Gao Ge points at the man and says to Cai, “This man wanted to climb over the wall and break into the house. He even threw two poisonous bones inside, trying to poison Hei to death.”

Gao Ge doesn’t take a look at the two bones.

Yet, he believes his judgment.

Under the current circumstance, the bones must be poisonous.

Hearing Gao Ge’s words, Cai also looks astonished.

“Cai, trust me. That’s not the truth!” Uncle Hu hastens to argue back.

Cai looks so embarrassed and then whispers, “Brother Gao, is there any misunderstanding? Uncle Hu is actually kind to me.”

Gao Ge turns around to look at the man coldly, saying, “Do you want to eat the bones?”

Threatened by Gao Ge, Uncle Hu surely knows what he means. Uncle Hu shudders and doesn’t dare to utter a word.

“Cai, let’s go back to the house. Let the men deal with this,” Xie Zhuolian holds Cai’s hand and says smilingly.

Cai is a bit hesitant.

Uncle Hu still wants to ask Cai for help but after meeting Gao Ge’s fierce gaze, he immediately perishes the thought.

“Okay.” Without thinking much, Cai follows Xie Zhuolian back into the room.

Gao Ge carries Uncle Hu aside.

“Do you want to die?” Gao Ge asks.

Uncle Hu is dumbfounded. What kind of question is this? Does Gao Ge expect the answer of yes from him?

There is always only one answer to this kind of question.

“No, I don’t...” He hastens to say.

“Since you don’t want to die, it’s quite simple. Tell me. What did you mean to do by climbing over the wall?” Gao Ge asks.

Looking at Uncle Hu’s hesitant expression, Gao Ge has got a bit impatient.

“What are you hesitating for? Do you think I will let you go today if you don’t give me an explanation?”

“I’ll say it! I’ll say it!” Hu hastens to say, “I simply wanted to get something...”

“Um?”

Zhang Jian explains, “In other words, he wanted to steal our things.”

“Steal? What did you want to steal?” Gao Ge asks seriously.

“You look rich so I...”

Gao Ge is also relieved to hear Hu’s explanation. At least, the truth is not what he thought. In this case, it is not a big deal for Gao Ge.

Well...

It is a bit strange to put it that way but that’s the truth.

“Let go of me. Let go of me...” Hu starts to kowtow to Gao Ge, “I lost my head for the moment. I will never dare to do this anymore. I promise. I promise! Please don’t tell anyone about it. If you do, I’ll be doomed. I will be expelled out of the fishing village for sure...”

Gao Ge looks at Hu and then takes a glance at Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian only smiles. Obviously, on this issue, he respects Gao Ge’s decision and he himself has no comment.

“Are you telling the truth?”

“I promise what I say is definitely true!” Hu says in a hurry.

This is not the first time that Gao Ge has interrogated someone.

Judging from Hu’s facial expression, if he still dares to lie in this case, he must be really impressive.

“Okay. Get lost.” Gao Ge waves his hand, “I won’t tell anyone about this simply because you are kind to Cai. Otherwise, I must kill you.”

Hearing Gao Ge’s words, Hu feels much relieved and then hastens to run away.

Gao Ge heaves a sigh.

This fishing village is so unpeaceful...

“Go back and sleep,” Gao Ge says to Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian nods his head and walks to his own room. Then he seems to think of something and whispers to Gao Ge, “I think we had better be careful.”

Gao Ge replies, “Yeah.”

Lying in bed, Gao Ge falls asleep quickly. However, he feels as if he didn’t sleep long when he hears some noise.

“Get out!”

“All of you, get out!”

“Knock. Knock. Knock.”

Gao Ge wakes up suddenly and dawn has broken by now.

“Is this the d*mned wake-up service of the fishing village?” Gao Ge rubs his dizzy head and feels sulky.
