Chapter 133 I can die, but he can’t
"this……"
Chen Tuo took the water bag tremblingly. The weight in his hand made him feel a little overwhelmed. "So much water, and you're just going to give it to me like this?"
"Yes, I give it to you!" The little girl nodded. Those who were traveling with her should be her family members. Although they expressed their disapproval, none of them stepped forward to stop her.
Again, that's the little girl's own thing, and no one else has the right to interfere with how she wants to deal with it.
Just to say this, this family's upbringing is top-notch even in the capital.
"Don't worry about me, young general. Lady Chi Jiao said it will rain in three days. If God doesn't rain, she will hold a knife for three days to force God to rain. Soon, we will all have water to drink."
Every time the little girl mentioned the Red Dragon Goddess, the two groups of people would smile.
They all believed in the Red Dragon Lady.
Although there was a lot of water in the water bag, there were so many of them that when it was distributed to each person, it was only enough to slightly moisten everyone's lips.
But no one thought it was too little, and they all expressed their gratitude profusely to the little girl, calling her "female Bodhisattva."
That day, Chen Tuo listened to the little girl telling the story of the Red Dragon Goddess in vivid detail. She said that the Red Dragon Goddess found the stars and lit the well, and was able to dig water out of the dry land, thus saving the entire village.
She said that the Red Dragon Goddess could catch demons and fight ghosts and was omnipotent. The little girl also took out a portrait of the Red Dragon Goddess. The woman in the portrait looked very strange, with dark skin, and did not fit people's description of a beauty at all.
The pair of dragon earrings on his ears were still deeply engraved in Chen Tuo's heart.
The little girl and her family set off after the sun set and the weather became less hot. Before leaving, she left almost half of her water with them.
But water alone was not enough, so when another group of people handed over naan, Chen Tuo let down his guard because of the little girl's kindness.
They had originally planned to set off at night, but when night came, most of the people in the team were unable to get up, and even he himself was only vaguely conscious.
That little bit of awareness allowed him to watch those people carry away a full truck of food.
Food!
That's their life!
"It's him!" Chen Tuo's eyes were red. Even though his face had been rotted to the point where his features were completely unrecognizable, his anger was undiminished. He stared intently at the fat boss, "It's him! He drugged our naan."
"He stole our food!"
The fat boss was stunned. "Brother, you can't say that. That was all in my past life. I don't remember it. Even if it was really me, it's none of my business now, right?"
"It's none of your business?" Chen Tuo snorted coldly, "You'll soon find out whether it has anything to do with you or not!"
Even though he had no weapons left, Chen Tuo still rushed forward with his courage, as if he was determined to take the fat boss's name.
This time, Shi Yu didn't bother to stop him.
Anyway, with her around, Chen Tuo won't be able to touch the fat boss, and at most he can just scare him.
When Chen Tuo discovered this, he looked at Shi Yu with dissatisfaction in his eyes, "Mrs. Chi Jiao, do you really want to protect this thief?"
"You know, because the relief grain was lost, our entire grain escort team was executed on the spot, and most of the people who were waiting for the food to save their lives also died because of the loss of the grain!"
"Chen Tuo." Shi Yu didn't respond to Chen Tuo's question, but just frowned at him, "You've been dead for such a long time. Even if you haven't entered the underworld, you should know something about the laws of heaven and earth."
"You've been causing this for so long, and so many people have died. Have you ever wondered why the person you're calling a criminal is still alive?" Chen Tuo was taken aback by the question, but his uncontrolled emotions quickly suppressed this slight sense of irrationality. "It must be because of that master he found. You guys are ostensibly working for the people."
“It only helps the rich.”
Shi Yu: “…”
What should I do? I really want to slap him on the head!
After taking two deep breaths to suppress his emotions, Shi Yu spoke again, "Think about it again. Is this person really the one who stole your food?"
"General." This time it was Xiao Li who spoke, his expression particularly serious. "I'm a country boy. It hasn't been easy getting to where I am today."
"To be fair, although my boss can be a little confused at times, he's not a bad person. If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't be alive today, let alone be able to do my own engineering work."
"And the boss has sponsored at least dozens of people like me."
"A person like that, whether in this life or the previous one, would never do the kind of thing you describe."
Xiao Li was silent for a moment, then said, "If...if he really did it, and you really want to kill someone today, then kill me."
"There are many children in the school waiting for the boss's financial support. I can die, but he can't."
[Eh? Eh? Did I see that? I initially thought this Xiao Li was strangely deep and not a good person. Turns out he's a student sponsored by the fat boss?]
[The boss is a good boss, but there aren't many young people as loyal and righteous as Xiao Li.]
[No wonder I always thought Xiao Li disliked his boss, but when faced with danger, he always stood in front of his boss. It turns out there are so many reasons behind this.]
Chen Tuo was silent.
I even didn't know for a moment whether I should take revenge.
If what this young man said was true, and there were so many people waiting for this boss to help them with their studies and save their lives, then if he killed the boss, what was the difference between his actions and those of the person who killed their grain escort team?
While Chen Tuo was hesitating, Shi Yu quickly made hand gestures with his hands.
Her fingers were already long and slender, and since it was late at night and only had a faint firelight, her hands actually looked divine.
A moment later, there was a roar in the sky, and the originally sultry wind brought a hint of coolness when it blew past.
"We'll talk about it when I kill you, but I'll make it up to you and me for this rain first." Shi Yu said in a light tone. As her voice fell, a drop of rain fell on the back of Chen Tuo's hand.
Chen Tuo opened his mouth and subconsciously looked up at the sky, "Is it raining?"
The scattered raindrops gradually became denser and formed a rain mist. The dripping sound seemed like the most beautiful sound in the world, flowing down the cheeks and falling into the armor.
Those ghost soldiers, like Chen Tuo, looked up at the falling raindrops.
Even though the places where his eyes should have been had become two empty holes, and even though his body had decayed to the point where not a trace of flesh remained, he still seemed to be smiling.
