Chapter 149

He was given one day's rest, and early the next morning, someone came to call Aqiu away.

…

Fortunately, Cheng Hui's doubts did not last long.

He was given one day's rest, and early the next morning, someone came to call Aqiu away.

Cheng Hui followed them and arrived at the so-called meeting room, only then did he understand why this group of people brought them back.

It turned out that someone from a nearby town came to collect grain a few days ago and offered a very good price.

The people in the village decided to sell off some of their old grain and find someone to repair the houses. Unfortunately, the accountant was ill, and without him to do the accounting, they were afraid they would be cheated if they did business with others.

Don't think that bandits are safe from scammers. In fact, those profiteers are much worse than bandits. If there were no accountant, Lin Tianlong even suspected that after selling the grain, they might even have to pay back the money...

Don't think he is joking; his past experiences have forced him to be careful.

Of course, he wasn't really sure whether those merchants were good or bad, but... it was better to be safe than sorry. Without an accountant, he wouldn't dare do business with them, for fear of being sold out and having to help them count the money.

Actually, their stronghold was not that old. In the beginning, there were some vicious bandits. Later, after Lin Tianlong went up the mountain, he killed all the extremely evil people and let those who were relatively honest bring their families up the mountain.

Originally, his life was quite peaceful, but later when he was robbing people on the road, Lin Tianlong accidentally discovered a conspiracy. In his righteous indignation, he killed the culprit and was rewarded by the court.

Liu Yichen, the head constable of the Six Gates of the capital, came specifically to arrest him. Originally, Lin Tianlong had no way of escaping, but for some reason, Liu Yichen treated him like a cat teasing a mouse, always letting him go just when he was about to catch him.

Lin Tianlong only found out later that Liu Yichen was using the pretext of arresting him to secretly investigate other cases.

If things continued to develop like this, this cat-and-mouse game would end soon, but no one expected that when the two of them were chasing each other, Liu Yichen accidentally fell into the trap. He accidentally ingested the drug and could not control himself, and Lin Tianlong, who was closest to him, was beaten to a pulp.

Lin Tianlong was quite devastated at that time, but... he couldn't beat the opponent, and he couldn't run away. The other party insisted on taking responsibility for him. What could he do?

You just have to endure it.

But...how to say it?

Some things will happen again after the first one. After some things happen a few times, two people who were originally nothing special will become something special.

Lin Tianlong was carefree and not only did he not feel at a disadvantage, but he felt that Liu Yichen was so handsome and he was taking advantage of him.

As a result, the two of them stuck together and stuck together.

With Liu Yichen, the head constable, taking care of them, the people in their mountain stronghold gradually transformed from bandits into good citizens. The magistrate in the nearby town and Liu Yichen seemed to be acquaintances, and they turned a blind eye to them, as long as they could get by on the surface. That was why Lin Tianlong and his companions could go to the town to sell grain openly.

Cheng Hui pieced all this together from other people's conversations, and he immediately developed a favorable impression of the head of the Lin Village.

There was nothing special going on between him and Aqiu, and finding opportunities depended entirely on luck. In that case, he might as well stay here and help them.

Cheng Hui discussed it with Aqiu, and Aqiu agreed without any objection.

Anyway, for him, as long as he can be with Cheng Hui, it doesn't matter where he is.

What was shown was that he readily accepted Lin Tianlong's invitation to stay in the village for a few days and act as a temporary accountant.

Lin Tianlong also made it very clear that the previous kidnapping was purely a joke. They had not done such a thing for many years. Yesterday, he was in a bad mood, so he took the brothers out for a walk. Unexpectedly, he met Aqiu. As soon as he saw Aqiu's dress, he knew that this was an educated person. He suddenly had an idea and came up with the bad idea of ​​kidnapping people and taking them up the mountain.

Cheng Hui: ...So you knew this was a bad idea! Then why did you still do it?

I don't know if it's because the village chief Lin Tianlong has such a rough style, so most of the other people in the village are rough men, and even the wives of these rough men are all very loud... ahem, cheerful, in short, they even speak very loudly.

Aqiu is good-looking. Even the women he met in the Blood Demon Sect in the past mostly spoke softly to him. He has never seen such... cheerful aunts.

"Hey, young man, you're so handsome. Are you married yet? Do you want me to introduce you to one?"

"Haha, young master, why don't you consider staying in our village? Just based on your looks, I'm afraid all the young ladies in the village will be scrambling to come and see you."

"Go away, don't talk nonsense to my young master. I am a seed of learning. I want to take the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official! But my young master, you really can consider the girls in our village. They are all good girls. I dare not say they are good wives and mothers, but they are all good at managing the household."

Aqiu: ...

The aunts were all very enthusiastic, but Aqiu was not used to this enthusiasm. Faced with such excessive care, he was even like a frightened bird, as if he was about to run away at any time.

Cheng Hui was laughing so hard that he fell backwards. He felt that in Aqiu's eyes, these aunts were even more terrifying than the ferocious demon cultivators.

"Very funny?" After finally escaping the enthusiastic siege of the aunts, Aqiu narrowed his eyes and stared at Cheng Hui with a bad look.

Cheng Hui: ...Oh no, I think I got a little carried away.

Ah Qiu was furious. Did Cheng Hui even remember that he was his fiancé? Shouldn't he be angry when those aunties introduced him to wives? What was the point of just watching the fun from the sidelines? Was he really that generous?

Cheng Hui's sense of crisis had already sounded the alarm. He coughed twice and said, "Well, the aunties actually like you and think you are very beautiful, so..."

"That's why you introduced the girl to me. As my fiancé, it's fine that you didn't protect my chastity, but you even just stood there watching the fun! That's too much!" Aqiu accused.

Cheng Hui: ...Oh no!

I actually forgot about the setting of my fiancé.

As soon as Aqiu mentioned her fiancé, Cheng Hui felt something was wrong.

Especially when he thought of the melodrama that Aqiu mentioned, he couldn't help but hold his forehead. He always felt that Cheng Hui in the story was so well-behaved, but... there was a subtle sense of incongruity.

"Aqiu, are we really fiancée?" he suddenly asked.

Aqiu:!!!

"Of course!" He said in a firm tone, but he couldn't help feeling guilty in his heart.

Cheng Hui looked at him quietly. A Qiu straightened his chest and looked at him, hiding his guilty conscience very well.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Cheng Hui couldn't help but look away first, and murmured: "I always feel that if I were engaged to you, I shouldn't have no memories."

"That's because we didn't get formally engaged. We just talked about it privately. But before we could discuss the result, you were urgently summoned back by your family." A Qiu said in a deep voice.

In private, he said in a joking tone that he wanted to get engaged to Cheng Hui, and Cheng Hui rolled his eyes and ignored him. This was considered as a tacit agreement. To round it off, the two of them were engaged, no problem!

He had originally planned to make a formal confession, but before he could do so, Cheng Hui was called away by their sect's communication talisman. Later, his identity was exposed, the two broke up, and the other party even used Cheng Hui to set an ambush on him.

He couldn't help but feel depressed, lost, and even desperate at first. Being betrayed by someone you love is a terrible feeling.

Later it was discovered that Cheng Hui was innocent. He had no idea that others had set a trap for him, and even used their lives to protect him.

Seeing Aqiu looking visibly disappointed, Cheng Hui suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

He couldn't help but secretly spit on himself in his heart, Bah! Scumbag!

Why did you have to talk about engagement? Isn't this stabbing Aqiu in the heart?

Her fiancé has forgotten her and insists that they are not engaged. If this topic is posted on a certain website, she will probably be scolded as a scumbag for more than ten pages.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, and hugged Qiu into his arms: "Well, although I don't remember it now, I believe Qiu that you won't lie to me. I... may not be able to like you right now, but I believe that if we were in love in the past, even if I can't find those memories, I will fall in love with you again in the future."

"After all..." He raised the corners of his mouth gently, smiling brightly, "I am who I am. If I liked you in the past, there is no reason why I won't like you in the future."

He touched his nose and said, "It's just... can you give me some more time to adapt? I always thought I liked women, but suddenly my sexual orientation changed, so... I'm a little uncomfortable."

Aqiu looked at him steadily, his dark pupils filled with tiny starlight.

He slowly raised the corners of his mouth, put his arms tightly around Cheng Hui's waist, and said softly: "Okay. But... don't make me wait too long, okay? I've waited... too long, too long..."

Cheng Hui's heart suddenly ached, and he felt like a piece of shit, that he had actually forgotten such a good fiancé - even if he hadn't done it on purpose.

He couldn't help but touch his nose again, took a deep breath, and felt a little stuffy in his chest. He patted Qiu's shoulder embarrassedly: "Um... can you relax a little, I can't breathe."

Aqiu: ...

He reluctantly let go of her hand, looked up at Cheng Hui, and asked with a puzzled look on his red lips, "Why do you, a ghost, need to breathe?"

Cheng Hui was dumbfounded...

Yes, he seems to no longer need to breathe.

Wait, he didn't seem to need to breathe when he was a zombie before, but...how should I put it? He seemed to have gotten used to breathing, used to maintaining his heartbeat and body temperature.

Although the zombie body will not be harmed if it does not breathe or maintain body temperature, he always regards himself as a human being and would rather waste some spiritual power to maintain these manifestations.

He smiled innocently and scratched his head with his hand: "I'm used to it."

Aqiu pursed her lips and smiled. In fact, Cheng Hui was also very good like this. No one could see him or touch him. Only she could do all this.

What a pity... Thinking of Cheng Hui drooling over those delicacies, he really couldn't bear to let him continue to be so ghostly.

Feeling that he couldn't eat those delicious foods, Cheng Hui became completely listless and dispirited.

If he hadn't happened to meet Lin Tianlong and the others, he would have been thinking about ending this world as soon as possible. Look at how Ah Hui had been tortured...
