Chapter 81: Kill and bury
Following Chang Suining's shout, Ah Dian, who was squatting on the side playing with insects with grass leaves, jumped up and immediately pounced on the figure.
Ache, who was holding a shovel in his hand, and Jian Tong had also surrounded them.
The woman wanted to escape, but the three men had blocked her way from three sides. Adian was the most agile and flew forward to attack the other party without saying a word.
His punch was so powerful that the woman's face turned pale. She had no choice but to draw the dagger hidden in her sleeve to fight back.
Chang Suining hurriedly reminded: "It has to be alive!"
"Oh!" Adian nodded: "Got it!"
While the two were fighting, Chang Suining watched the young woman's skills from the side.
This person has some skills. If she meets an ordinary person, she can probably win even if she beats ten of them alone, but unfortunately the person she ran into is Adian.
Although Adian is mentally handicapped, he is a martial arts fanatic. His pure mind makes him more focused when practicing martial arts than normal people, and he can better comprehend the subtle essence of it.
More importantly, he has incredible strength.
He can break the Ten Masters with one force, and he himself is also the "Ten Masters".
Sure enough, after only ten or so moves, the dagger in the woman's hand was kicked away and fell to the ground, and her arms were captured by Adian.
"Little A'li, I caught her!" A'dian jumped up happily and asked Chang Suining for credit.
Chang Suining nodded at him with praise in his eyes and walked over.
Chang Sui'an had also come forward. He stared at the woman in blue and asked with a frown, "Who are you? Why are you hiding here?"
From being discovered to being caught, everything happened very suddenly. A trace of embarrassment flashed in the woman's eyes, and she explained: "I just accidentally walked into this place."
Chang Suining smiled and reminded, "This is not a wilderness, but the Chang family cemetery. You are not a wandering soul that has strayed into the wrong cemetery. A living person with extraordinary skills like this has sneaked into this place without being watched by the gravekeepers and hid in the dark. If you call this a mistake, then we can only let it go and kill you by mistake."
As soon as Chang Suining finished speaking, Adian's hand had already grabbed the other person's throat.
As if fearing that it was not enough, the sword boy pointed the sword in his hand at the woman's heart.
The woman's face turned pale, and she said hurriedly, "I really broke into this place accidentally, and I have no ill intentions! If I had any intentions, I would have done it before you noticed!"
Chang Suining didn't seem to have heard anything and casually pointed at the woman's feet: "It's where the body is buried anyway, so just bury it there. No one will find it anyway."
The next moment, the woman suddenly felt mud splashing around her, and some dirt fragments hit her face.
The woman turned her head stiffly and saw that the boy with a shovel in his hand had already started digging vigorously.
“……!”
I just followed her for a while, why was she suddenly arranged to die? The other party was really sincere in killing her, burying her, and burying her. The big hand that was strangling her throat was tightening, and the pit used to bury her was also progressing amazingly, and it had already taken shape.
The sense of urgency of impending death was too strong. The woman said anxiously, "Wait! I am the person of Grand Princess Xuan'an!"
"Grand Princess Xuan'an?!"
Chang Suining, Chang Sui'an and Adian said in unison.
Facing all the gazes, the woman gritted her teeth and nodded.
Chang Suining looked at Chang Sui'an, who was full of surprise, and asked, "Brother, do you recognize me?"
Chang Sui'an shook his head: "I don't recognize him."
Then he whispered, "But I've heard of it."
I heard that this eldest princess lost her husband at a young age and lived far away in her fiefdom of Xuanzhou since the death of the previous emperor. She had countless male favorites and aides in her mansion and was quite romantic.
Chang Suining had also heard this rumor from Xier when he was learning about various powers recently.
Her aunt has been a quirky person since she was young.
Chang Suining seemed to be thinking about something, and raised his chin slightly: "Xier, search her body."
"What are you doing!?"
Xier quickly found a token and presented it to Chang Suining.
Chang Sui'an looked over and couldn't help but be surprised: "Is he really the Grand Princess's man?"
Chang Suining looked at the woman and said, "So, you followed the Grand Princess this time on her orders?"
Chang Suining didn't call for a stop, so Che continued digging the pit. Mud was still splashing on the girl, so she could only bite the bullet and answer, "...The girl in your mansion has reached the age of marriage. I was ordered by the Grand Princess to go to the capital to secretly look for the sons of the powerful and wealthy in the capital as a backup for the girl... I heard that the man in General Chang's mansion was handsome and strong, and he was exactly the kind of man the girl would like, so I followed him secretly to take a look, and before I knew it, I had followed him here. Although it was an offense, it was absolutely not malicious."
Chang Sui'an was horrified when he heard this. He took two steps back and hugged himself: "What are you talking about... I don't want to!"
I heard that the girl in the Grand Princess's mansion was the Grand Princess's adopted daughter. There were also rumors that she was the illegitimate daughter of the Grand Princess and her male lover...
But no matter what the truth is, he would never agree to it!
In a short moment, Chang Sui'an had many thoughts in mind and had already hidden behind his sister: "My father is the general of the cavalry. Even if he is the eldest princess... he can't force me to buy or sell!"
I have heard that the Grand Princess Xuan'an does whatever she wants and probably won't care about his life or death. So he can only bring up his father to give him courage.
Seeing that he looked like a decent woman who was about to be robbed, Chang Suining comforted him, "Don't be afraid, brother. It's hard to say whether this is true or not."
"What I said is absolutely true! If you don't believe me, you can send someone to Xuanzhou to inquire about my master's intention to choose a husband for the girl--" The woman said hurriedly: "I was presumptuous today. I apologize to you and can swear in the name of my master that I have no intention of harming anyone!"
Chang Suining remained silent for a while, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
She now believed that the other party had no intention of harming anyone - no matter what the purpose was, if her aunt wanted to kill the fierce Chang family, she would not have sent just such a female guard to die.
Chang Suining didn't say anything, and the surroundings fell into silence for a moment, with only the sound of A'che digging the hole diligently.
After a while, the woman saw that the pit had been dug to half a person's depth, and finally couldn't help but ask, "...Can we stop digging for now?"
Chang Suining thought about it for a while before saying to Ah Dian, "Since it's just a misunderstanding, let's just let him go."
Adian let the man go, and the sword boy put away his sword.
A Che also stopped digging the hole.
The shadow of death finally dissipated and the woman breathed a sigh of relief.
"...Wait, I haven't put forward any conditions yet." Chang Sui'an whispered to his sister.
Chang Suining glanced at the deep pit and said, "Brother, it's not too late to mention it now."
The woman shuddered silently: "Mr. Chang, please go ahead and tell me."
Chang Sui'an said in a panic, "Although we will not pursue your sneaky stalking, but when you return to Xuanzhou, you are not allowed to present me as a candidate to the Grand Princess and your daughter!"
The woman nodded: "Yes."
She agreed very happily, but Chang Sui'an still felt uneasy: "No, you need to swear...swear a poisonous oath!"
The woman was silent for a moment, and could only raise three fingers with mixed feelings and swear an oath on the spot.
Chang Sui'an was finally relieved.
Chang Suining looked at the woman who had just sworn the oath: "I also have a condition."
The woman was a little numb: "Madam, please speak."
"Please send my regards to Grand Princess Xuan'an, and tell her that I have admired her for a long time and have long wanted to meet her. If I have the chance in the future, I will go to Xuanzhou to pay her a visit. I hope that the Grand Princess will do me the honor of meeting you then."
The woman's numb expression repeatedly cracked - this lady Chang admired her eldest princess? I mean, it's not good for a young girl to admire something...
But he could only agree: "Yes, I will convey the message."
Chang Suining nodded: "Then you can go."
The woman raised her hand, saluted, and turned to leave.
"Girl, is this hole going to be filled?" Ache asked for instructions.
"Keep it, maybe you'll need it someday."
When the woman heard this, she felt a chill on her back. She paused for a moment, then walked quickly.
I’m afraid that all the ghosts and evil spirits in this garden can’t suppress this evil lady from the Chang family!
On the way back to the city, Chang Sui'an was still in a state of anxiety. He kept telling Jiantong to keep an eye on him when he went out in the future and not to give anyone an opportunity to take advantage of him. He was especially careful to guard against things like someone knocking him unconscious and taking him away.
They also agreed that if he really encountered danger, he would try to leave some secret codes and clues along the way. Different codes represented different meanings, and they told the sword boy to remember them carefully.
Although Jian Tong felt that some of the young man's requests were a bit groundless and even unreasonable, Rufeng couldn't help shaking his head after hearing them, but he also agreed to them seriously.
After entering the city and walking into the streets, the bustling surroundings finally dispelled the gloom that had been lingering in Chang Sui'an's mind.
Since he had already gone out anyway, he sat on the horse and suggested to Chang Suining in the carriage beside him that they should take a walk before returning home.
This proposal made Adian immediately excited.
Chang Suining also wanted to familiarize himself with the things in the city, so he nodded.
The group got off the carriage and walked into the bustling street.
As Adian walked along, he accepted the food that Chang Suining fed him crazily. His hands were full and his cheeks were stuffed bulging.
"Ningning, guess what I bought!"
Chang Sui'an ran back from the front, holding a bamboo basket in his arms, and asked Chang Suining as if he was offering a treasure.
Chang Suining raised his hand and lifted the blue cloth covering the bamboo basket: "...Brother, why are you buying duck eggs?"
"These are not ordinary duck eggs!" Chang Sui'an picked up one and said, "Look carefully, these duck eggs are all square-shaped!"
Chang Suining also picked one up and looked at it, then nodded.
Yes, they are indeed all square.
"Ningning, don't you think it's strange? I've never seen such rare duck eggs!" Chang Sui'an said, "The Taoist who sells the eggs said that these duck eggs are extraordinary and eating them can ward off disasters and evil spirits - he saw that there was a connection between us, so he sold them to me!"
After all, he really needed to ward off disaster today! "..." Chang Suining looked at the dull-witted young man with luxurious clothes and clear eyes. He felt that if he looked at the people on this street, it would be difficult for them not to have a connection with him.
The aura of "Why hasn't anyone come to cheat me of my money" emanating from his body is truly irresistible.
Seeing the young man's eager face, she didn't want to say anything to discourage him, so she just said politely, "Brother, just buy one to try, why did you buy all these?"
"I asked around, and learned that this egg can not only ward off disasters and evil spirits, but can also relieve my father's leg disease and cure my sister's brain disease. Jian Tong and the others will also benefit greatly from eating it. I thought that this was a rare opportunity, and I was afraid that someone would snatch it from me, so I quickly bought them all."
The sword boy turned away silently.
Chang Suining looked at the square eggs and said, "...This miraculous effect can actually be customized to suit a person's body."
Chang Sui'an grinned and laughed, "Hey," "One pill is only one ounce of silver. If it really has miraculous effects, it's not worth missing. Even if it doesn't, it won't hurt you anyway."
Chang Suining nodded.
Besides being generous, his innocence also reveals a kind of easy-going sobriety, which can be regarded as a kind of great wisdom.
Chang Suining put the duck egg back into the basket and asked casually, "Where did you buy this egg, brother?"
Although this duck egg has no miraculous effect, it is interesting.
"It's right in front!" Chang Sui'an pointed forward: "There's a fortune-telling stall there—"
Chang Suining walked over.
Chang Sui'an hurriedly followed, and when he got to the front, he couldn't help scratching his head: "He was here just now... Why is there no one here suddenly?"
Chang Suining's eyes moved slightly, and he saw a corner of a blue-gray Taoist robe disappearing at the alley ahead.
A man dressed like a Taoist priest walked into the deserted dark alley, took out the bag hidden behind the water tank in the alley, took off his Taoist robe with swift movements, put on a long gown, glued a beard on his lips, tied a black gauze scarf on his head, and walked out from the other end of the alley.
As soon as the man walked out of the alley and into the crowd, a boy in thin and shabby clothes knelt in front of him and blocked his way.
The boy kowtowed to him without saying a word: "Doctor Guo, I finally found you!"
The man was startled by the boy and took a step back: "What are you doing!"
"Please take a look at my mother again. She can't even eat today. I'm afraid she will ..." The boy's tears rolled down his dirty and cracked face. "Doctor Guo, please be kind and prescribe some medicine for my mother to save her!"
The man waved his hands impatiently: "I have waived your consultation fee, but you can't even afford the medicine. You still have the nerve to come to me? Go away and don't block my way!"
"Doctor Guo, please!" The boy hugged his legs and cried, "I am willing to sell myself to you as a slave, just please save my mother!"
The man kicked him away: "Who wants you to be a slave... What bad luck!"
This commotion has attracted the attention of many people, and some people couldn't stand it anymore and started pointing and talking.
"I wonder why you, a doctor, are like this!"
"How can you touch a child?"
"Hey, it's just a few prescriptions. Doctors are like caring parents. How can we just stand by and watch someone die?"
The man looked annoyed when he heard this.
The boy wiped his tears and said, "Doctor Guo, I just want to change a few prescriptions. I will do anything you ask me to do... I have already lost my father, and I cannot lose my mother again!"
The discussions and sighs around became even louder.
Chang Suining stood in the crowd with her arms folded, watching the scene, with some curiosity in her eyes - she was really curious about what would happen next.
Under the crowd's jeers and even accusations, the man called Doctor Guo looked uglier. He then sneered and said to the boy, "In that case, I might as well give you a chance!"
Thank you all for your monthly tickets and rewards~ (Today I’m going to tell you about a dog. My uncle bought a bowl of wontons for my kid. He knocked it over halfway through eating, and the soup and wontons spilled everywhere. Anyone with experience knows how heart-wrenching this scene is, but my uncle didn’t panic at all and immediately summoned my dog——
The dog quickly cleaned up (ate) the mess on the floor. My uncle brought the dog to show off to me: Look at my sweeper? It can wash, mop and sweep all in one. It can be attached to a small yellow car! Long ago, my son gave the dog a clear positioning: "Mom, the dog is the sanitation worker of our family!") (End of this chapter)
