Bab 90: Firefight

Countryside, in the woods.

Reasonably lush trees occupied the area, growing in sporadic clusters in this wild land, and had somehow managed to link up into a single stretch. A few dirt roads wound through the woods, scattered by scraps and litters, as well as several shallow cesspools giving off a strong odor.

It was safe to say that no love birds would choose such surroundings to get passionate.

However, Li Suchun liked it here, for it was the most ideal hideout. He arrived before dawn, found a shady mound, and dug a shallow pit. He then let the white corpse lie in it before covering it up with a thin layer of soil.

To finish up, he gathered a great amount of twigs and leaves, then covered the pit, making the disguise look as natural as possible.

On any ordinary day, he would proceed by either looking around nearby or catching up on sleep by the white corpse, feeding on bread and bottled water only. He would spend the entire daytime guarding the corpse.
