Chapter 140: Gemstone Painting of Killing Pigs
When Chu Xiuyan walked into the watch shop, the system made a slight "Huh" sound.
[What happened?] Chu Xiuyan was still planning to admire the high? High? The colorful, broken gemstone giant clock hanging in the air from a close distance.
However, what the system said made him pause.
[See that two-meter-long table? Zhang Chun is hiding behind it? . ]
Pretending to clean a small watch? The boss asked casually: "Excuse me? What style of watch do you need?"
As he said this, he was about to leave the neatly arranged table, and then walked over to the young man and introduced himself - he was helping Zhang Chun hide.
Chu Xiuyan made a high-pitched? low-pitched? strange sound? "Wow, please introduce me, you are so enthusiastic? What? I think most bosses don't like to move around? "
Haha, you didn’t expect that I also have a detection hack!
The boss was about to come over when he paused. Zhang Chun, who was hiding behind the table, felt a chill behind him, suspecting that he had been exposed.
At this time, another strange, clear male voice sounded.
"A clock as a gift? It's really unique? Hobby, it's unlucky?"
Chu Xiuyan turned his head to look at Bai Qiu, who was walking towards him. His tone was still high? Low and fluctuating, and the ending tone was still high? High? Raised, "Look at what you said? How is it unlucky? Didn't we agree on a battle flag before? Now add a gift of the clock flag, that's a double flag, these days double negation means affirmation!"
Bai Qiu Shao? His views are a little behind? Others thought: "So?"
Chu Xiuyan said firmly and seriously: "In simple terms, can it be used on both sides? No death."
Bai Qiu said happily: "That won't work. One of us must die. How about this, when you die, I will buy this clock and bury it with you. If I die, all my property will belong to you, and then you can give me this clock, how about that?"
"Is this clock mine?" Chu Xiuyan insisted.
"Oh, don't be so stingy. I'll be dead by then, so please have some pity on the deceased..."
Bai Qiu said, hooking the young man's shoulder and dragging him away, and quickly changed the subject, "Want to eat? I remember there is a restaurant in the middle city that tastes pretty good."
Wait? To their? The figures were getting farther and farther away. Zhang Chun stood up from behind the table, holding his chest. The boss looked at him dimly and said, "My clock is not for sale."
While thinking about how Yun Yan's speaking style became like that, Zhang Chun subconsciously said, "Pack this clock for me. The young man will probably come to buy it himself later. Just give it to him directly."
Then he staggered out of the watch shop.
The boss's? His expression became even uglier, "I told you I don't sell this clock."
But Zhang Chun had already disappeared at the store entrance.
…
The middle city area is smaller than the lower city area, but the per capita living space is much larger. The air is warm, and the people around are noisy, with a busy atmosphere. The lower city area feels cold and dry, with hard and cold iron sheets everywhere, and the atmosphere is extremely depressing.
It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when Chu Xiuyan finished his meal with Bai Qiu. The subordinates of the Knights were trying to persuade him to go to the upper city area.
Bai Qiu was not in a hurry to deal with them, and even took Chu Xiuyan to walk around the busy places in the central city.
System: [He seems to be hinting at you to run. ]
Chu Xiuyan held onto Bai Qiu tightly as they walked, "Don't even think about getting rid of me. I've already stuck with this guy today."
When it became clear that he could no longer delay, Bai Qiu had to take the young man back to the upper city.
The upper city area occupies a smaller area, but it is full of prosperity and luxury. Even the ground is inlaid with various gold, silver and jewelry.
However, the first thing that impressed people the most was the cold murderous aura that rushed in when the gate of the passage was opened. The silver-armored guards who occupied the entire square were dressed in uniform, lined up neatly, with cold expressions, and their aura was mighty, particularly eye-catching, and also particularly oppressive.
Chu Xiuyan heard Bai Qiu beside him and he said with a soft click of his tongue.
Then, a strange and indifferent man in silver armor came out of the huge escort team. He looked at Bai Qiu not like a companion he had known for many years, but more like a stranger. His tone was not very friendly, "You came? Too late."
It's almost five o'clock now?
Bai Qiu shrugged, "There are too many unexpected things. There's nothing we can do."
Chu Xiuyan was quietly eating melons nearby. Too many accidents meant that the entrance to the passage was blocked by a boulder, and he was blocked by a treasure chest. He was wandering around the city to delay time. What a bad workplace.
The silver-armored man, the First Knight Commander [Ming], seemed to be particularly arbitrary. His eyes fell on Chu Xiuyan and he said in an unquestionable tone: "Is this young man the king's enemy? I will be responsible for supervising him from now on. The king needs to make some preparations and the formal trial will be held the next day."
System: [Oh, you used a word like "judgment" that is so just and great? ]
Chu Xiuyan: [What a weird thing to say? You have been led astray by the system. ]
Bai Qiu's arm was still on the young man's shoulder. Facing the pressure of [Ming]'s momentum, he did not retreat. "That won't do. The king's order to me is to escort and supervise this guy until he dies completely. And this respected sir, you suddenly appeared to take away my mission target. Can it be considered that... you are trying to disobey the king's order?"
The first knight's expression became even colder, and his tone was filled with obvious disgust and arrogance, "Bai Qiu, you only have this mouth to show off your power. You'd better keep a close eye on this young man until the trial tomorrow afternoon. If he escapes in the middle of the trial, all the blame will be placed on you."
Bai Qiu scratched his ears and pretended to be suddenly enlightened. "So you came all the way here because you were worried that I would let someone escape and then be blamed by the king? Why didn't I realize that you are so considerate before? Although you have a sharp tongue, you are quite tsundere?"
The first knight commander [Ming] looked like he wanted to vomit.
Bai Qiu was not prepared to chat with this man any longer, and prepared to leave quickly with Chu Xiuyan.
At this time, the first knight commander [Ming] seemed to have no choice but to look at Chu Xiuyan with an arrogant and indifferent look, and said: "The gray fog in the lower city must not be dispersed."
Bai Qiu paused.
But Chu Xiuyan blinked and said, "Oh wow, I guessed right."
Bai Qiu took Chu Xiuyan back to his residence, a large house that looked particularly luxurious.
The Knights' subordinates pushed at the door of the house, trying to get their advice to reach their superiors, "Captain, he should go to prison! Go to prison!"
Bang!
The heavy sound of the door closing blocked the countless wailing sounds outside the house.
Chu Xiuyan lay down comfortably on the sofa. This was the first time he had touched something so soft since coming to the desert. "It would be even better if I had another cup of iced Coke."
He calmly watched Bai Qiu walking back and forth in the living room, looking a little anxious. After a few minutes, he took out a few boxes from under the sofa and began to count the gems.
Chu Xiuyan: "...How to relieve stress?"
He thought about it and joined Bai Qiu's team to count gems.
Time passed by minute by minute, and night fell completely.
It has been quiet for a long time? There was a knock on the door? .
Bai Qiu's? His head was stuck in the treasure chest and he couldn't move for the time being, so Chu Xiuyan went to open the door.
"Good night." The person who appeared outside the door was a stranger who seemed to have a soft light filter on. It was difficult to tell whether he was male or female. He had soft white hair that reached his waist and a light-colored robe. His hair covered the upper half of his face. There were two red moles on the sides of his lips. His temperament was particularly gentle.
"I am the Second Knight Commander [Knower]. I am sorry to bother you two by visiting you so late at night." The voice was also soft and gentle, and the gender could not be heard.
Bai Qiu's? His head was still stuck in the box. He waved his hand and said, "You're here? Just in time. Help me get my head out... That kid is obsessed with painting with gems and doesn't want to help me at all."
Chu Xiuyan proudly raised the whiteboard in his hand. It was a painting made of countless tiny gems. It was a half-finished work, but one could still tell what the story was. "I used gems to glue the painting together. A large group of people are celebrating the New Year by slaughtering pigs!"
Although the upper half of the [Knower]'s face was blocked, he still accurately turned his face towards the painting and commented seriously, "It's a very delicate and profound painting. Your painting is very skillful."
Chu Xiuyan was somewhat pleased to be praised. He did not know why. The [Knower] in front of him had a magical charm that could convince people.
At this moment, a voice without any emotion was heard in the dark night.
"To ensure safety and hygiene, slaughtering pigs usually requires two to three professional slaughterers or experienced slaughterers. They also need to select a suitable slaughtering site and use the bluntest knife to cut hundreds of cuts all over the pig's body to let the blood drain slowly. Finally, they need to process the internal organs and cut up the body. It is a very hard job."
Walking in the night is a young man in a black military uniform. His face is expressionless and his tone is unchanged. The only thing he said was hatred. It was a strange feeling that he was cursing without any expression.
"Good night, Wuji." [Knower] smiled at him, and then introduced him to Chu Xiuyan: "He is the fifth knight commander [Wuji]. He doesn't like to make expressions or say emotional sentences, but he has a good personality and is the type who will complain with others."
"Oh, good morning!" Chu Xiuyan said, holding up his own painting, "Look at my picture of killing a pig!"
"Oh, good morning." Wuji ignored the dark night behind him and continued with the young man's words: "Your painting is very beautiful, but isn't there a little too little blood? Killing a pig, it just looks like blood is flowing everywhere."
Chu Xiuyan: "It's too bloody and violent, even 21+ can't stand it."
Wuji: "Then I'll draw a picture of a broken pig myself... Bai Qiu, where are the gem boxes? Give me a few boxes."
Bai Qiu, who was sitting on the sofa, pointed to his head and said, "The second visitor, the master seems to have poor eyesight. Look here, there is such a big gem box. Don't you like it?"
Wuji simply ignored these words and started searching for treasure chests everywhere.
The wise man reluctantly helped Bai Qiu to move the box on his head.
Chu Xiuyan continued to sit quietly beside the sofa table, pasting gems and painting.
This harmonious yet strange atmosphere lasted for a while, and the knower suddenly spoke, and was talking to Chu Xiuyan?
"Tomorrow at noon or in the afternoon, we will be led away one by one. It should be your companions who did it. By then, I'm afraid it will be your only chance to escape."
Chu Xiuyan looked at him: "Isn't there a pig slaughter operation tomorrow?"
"The First Knight Commander is obviously loyal, his brain has been assimilated by the pig. As long as he is here, the pig cannot die." Wuji said coldly, with large red rubies representing blood on the whiteboard. "We are hanging by a knife, and our life and death depend on the pig's thought, so we must fight you. In the end, either we all die and the pig dies with us, or you die with whoever is killed among us, while the pig continues to live. This is obviously not a reasonable battle, so we should avoid it if we can."
Chu Xiuyan pursed his lips.
The wise man advised: "Although your companion has contacted many important people, he has always been hiding in the dark. Only a few people know his identity. He is a strong man. You can leave the kingdom smoothly. Listen to me and go."
Chu Xiuyan continued to pout.
Bai Qiu suddenly spoke up: "I'm almost suffocating, Zhizhe, you'd better not help me with the box. Wuji, pull out your knife and hit me on the head with this thing."
The Wuji on the opposite side responded slowly, stood up, and drew his sword with one hand.
At this moment, there was another noisy sound outside the house.
"Wait? Wait?! Wait? Wait? Bishop, you can't go in!"
"How can this be? The King said that you cannot come into contact with the Knights—"
“Bang!”
The door was pushed open directly from the outside.
Cui Zhiyong, whom I haven't seen for a long time, stood at the door with an angry look on his face. He was wearing a red robe and was obviously aggressive. But when he saw the scene inside the house, his face suddenly changed.
Bai Qiu, who had a box on his head for some unknown reason, the knower who was kneeling beside him and holding onto Bai Qiu's shoulders, Wu Ji who had raised his long knife and was about to fall, and the white-haired young man who was facing the door and was using gems to paint a picture.
As if hearing a sound, the young man who completely ignored the noise around him slowly raised his head and met Cui Zhiyong's eyes at the door.
Three seconds later, Cui Zhiyong turned and left.
