Wu You walked quickly, feeling annoyed.
What nonsense! Did people in ancient times have no integrity? They're all so cunning.
The street vendors' shouts are getting annoying to hear now.
He realized that the jade pendant must have been too valuable, which aroused the greed of the pawnshop owner, who was already a shrewd businessman.
Judging from his clothes and age, I assumed he was an easy person to fool.
Should we try other pawnshops?
What if the boss there is the same way?
As Wu You walked, he sensed that something was wrong.
The ghost leech mosquitoes kept sending out waves of consciousness.
I switched to observation mode for a moment to distract myself.
I saw two people following me from a distance from the air.
Wu You remembered that it was the shop assistant at that pawnshop.
He secretly resented it. What? They couldn't sell it by force, so they're trying to pull a dirty trick?
Well, they're hot right now, let's teach them a lesson.
Having made his decision, Wu You consciously led the two people who were following him toward a secluded place.
...
The two men following Wu You at a distance grew increasingly puzzled.
"San Gou, why is he going further and further astray? Could it be that he's discovered us?"
"They're dumbfounded to find that we're not trying to shake them off, but are deliberately heading to remote places."
The two felt that their companion's words made sense, but after thinking about it, they didn't say anything.
"Could this kid be a martial arts master?"
"Go away, what are you thinking about all day? Martial arts masters? How many do you see in a year? They're all dressed smartly and have a big ego, how could they be like this?"
The two sons thought it made sense; martial arts masters were too far removed from the lives of ordinary people like them.
It seems this kid has bad luck, so we can't blame him.
...
Wu You wasn't very familiar with Leping City, but he didn't need to be. He just went wherever there were fewer people.
There's no need to worry about getting lost, as the system's 3D map clearly shows the places you've been and the surrounding area.
At this rate, another half a day of exploring the entire city of Leping would be enough to completely "light it up".
As time went on, the surrounding scenery began to look somewhat dilapidated.
Fewer and fewer pedestrians were passing by, and when they did encounter one or two, they were always in a hurry.
Every city has corners like this, whether it's a modern city or an ancient one.
After turning into two more alleys, the houses on the side were dilapidated and abandoned.
There was absolutely no one here, and there was even some wild animal droppings.
It's important to understand that excrement isn't considered garbage here, but rather a resource—a resource for agriculture.
Wu You had seen several people carrying baskets and using bamboo tongs to collect excrement all over the city.
Some public toilets even openly sell excrement.
Wu You had never even considered spending money to buy manure before.
...
"Erzi, this kid has been wandering around aimlessly for so long, he's probably lost. He actually ended up in Peeling Skin Alley, hehe, not many people dare to go there during the day."
"Perfect timing, let's go."
There were hardly any pedestrians around, so the two quickened their pace and followed.
San Gou pulled out a short, hardwood stick with iron from his waistband and tiptoed up to it.
Wu You was still wondering how the two people behind him were going to make their move.
Did he tie himself up with a rope, or did he intend to attack people and steal the treasure?
Although I am not under the influence of demonic or divine power, my strength has been increasing recently since the last time.
Dealing with two menial servants doesn't require much effort.
Hearing the light, quick footsteps behind him, Wu You knew they were finally about to make their move.
A whooshing sound of wind came from behind.
Wu You dodged the short stick that was coming at him by turning to the side, causing the person behind him to stumble.
Although he dodged the sneak attack, Wu You's original intention to play tricks on him was gone.
He stared coldly at the wooden stick and its owner.
It was as thick as an arm, as long as a thigh, and covered with two layers of sheet metal at the top.
With the same force, strike the back of the head.
This is an attempt to kill him!
When Erzi and Sangou saw that the kid in front had actually dodged the sneak attack from behind, they immediately surrounded him from both sides.
Fearing that Wu You might break the jade pendant in desperation, the two sons pretended to comfort him.
"Kid, hand over the jade pendant and we'll let you go. Otherwise, you'll suffer some physical pain. Besides, our boss knows people in the underworld. If you don't behave, you'll implicate your family."
Wu You stared at them without saying a word.
There was not a trace of warmth in his eyes.
Erzi and Sangou felt a bit cold, and goosebumps appeared on their skin.
"Hey, San Gou, this kid's got some weird tendencies, should we go for it?"
"What are you afraid of? Let's cripple him first."
After saying that, he brandished his short stick and tried to step forward.
With a whoosh.
A shadow flashed by.
"Bang bang..." Both wooden sticks fell to the ground.
The two burly bodies were already a foot off the ground, hesitating.
His face turned bright red, and his tongue lolled out.
Two pairs of weak, large hands each tightly gripped the arms that were holding their necks.
Wu You held two strong men, each weighing at least 350 jin (125 catties), aloft on either side.
His eyes remained cold.
Humans are social animals, but what happened before socialization? Or what existed outside of socialization?
It's just a dog-eat-dog world!
Wu You never thought of herself as an innocent baby.
But now, I suddenly realize that I was really quite foolish in some ways.
"Click..." "Click..."
Two crisp sounds.
The two burly men let their hands hang down, and the muscles in their hands and feet began to twitch uncontrollably.
Hint: Capture successful. Obtained material: male human.
Hint: Capture successful. Obtained material: male human.
...
As long as the body isn't completely dead, who can compare to Wu You when it comes to destroying evidence?
There was no nausea, no fear.
Compared to the last time he killed someone, Wu You felt no discomfort this time.
He picked up two short hardwood sticks from the ground.
He casually tossed it in his hand twice.
I opened the system's 3D map and glanced at the location of Tianbao Pawnshop.
Need money? It seems that's easily solved now.
...
Wang Fugui ate dried fruit in the shop, waiting for his two employees to bring good news.
With this money, I can buy another house in the city and add a concubine.
They even have enough money to buy a restaurant.
These days are wonderful.
I heard that several young women from Jiangzhou have recently arrived at Chunhong Mansion, and each one of them is exceptionally beautiful.
I'll redeem one and take it home then, hehe.
Thinking of the wonderful idea, this man, who was over fifty years old, couldn't help but want to dance with joy.
However, I'm afraid my two useless buddies will lose track of the person or fail to succeed.
...
As darkness fell, many shops on the street had already closed.
Wu You sat on the second floor of the teahouse diagonally opposite the pawnshop, keeping a close eye on the pawnshop's entrance.
This afternoon, a wealthy guest treated everyone in the building to tea, which saved Wu You a lot of trouble.
Tianbao Pawnshop would usually be closing by this time.
But Wang Fugui is still waiting today.
He felt somewhat anxious.
Those two good-for-nothings still haven't succeeded? Is that kid too cunning, and they just haven't found an opportunity to strike?
Or did they succeed and run away with the jade pendant?
No, no, he knows where these two guys live. They can run away, but they can't hide.
Should we go check on Erzi and Sangou's house?
