Chapter 9 Now that Qin Ren is by his side, what he has in his hands…
Now that Qin Ren is by his side and he has powerful weapons, he feels he must be strong and let Qin Ren teach him more.
With that thought in mind, Liu Qingyue pressed the power switch forcefully.
The guy was cursing and spewing nonsense when Liu Qingyue gave him an electric shock, and he immediately started convulsing and screaming in agony.
Electric shock can cause serious damage, not only leading to complete paralysis but also affecting the nervous system, respiratory system, and even the heart.
Qin Ren had already shocked him once before, and now he had been shocked by Liu Qingyue again. Even if he was lucky enough to wake up again, he would probably be left with irreversible aftereffects.
Of course, Qin Ren wouldn't warn the petty thieves. If he didn't come from a society governed by law, he would have killed them. So when he saw Liu Qingyue knock that person unconscious again, he didn't warn him that doing so would cause that person great harm.
Liu Qingyue thought this thing was really useful; he, a young man, could use it to knock out a grown man.
He was too scared before to remember to take out the stun gun. Now that he has some experience, he feels he can gradually become very skilled.
Seeing that Liu Qingyue had knocked someone unconscious with electricity, Qin Ren praised her.
"Well done."
Liu Qingyue felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this. He lowered his long, curled eyelashes and carefully put away the stun gun.
"What will they do then?"
Qin Ren: "To be honest, it would be better to kill him, but... I can't easily kill someone unless it's absolutely necessary. I doubt you'd be able to kill him anyway."
Qin Ren is, after all, a person living in a society governed by the rule of law. He can no longer be considered an ancient person, and he cannot kill people indiscriminately. Unless the other party intends to kill him, or in a very critical situation.
"Alright, let's leave them alone and get to a safer place."
Qin Ren originally intended for the thief to hide in the passageway while he would travel on his behalf.
Now that he has discovered he still can't communicate with the people of this world, he needs the little thief to accompany him outside occasionally.
Otherwise, due to the language barrier, he wouldn't know where to find the thief's family. Even selling his belongings would be difficult.
When Qin Ren took the thief out, he didn't forget to kick each of the two men again.
Although he couldn't kill people indiscriminately, Qin Ren still wanted to kick them when he thought about how they had bullied petty thieves.
Unexpectedly, one of them was kicked awake by him.
Fearing they might have accomplices, Qin Ren immediately knocked the man unconscious from behind.
Seeing this, the little thief next to him imitated his movements for a long time.
Qin Ren smiled and said to him, "Want to learn? Then try it on them."
Liu Qingyue was a little shy when he heard this. He really didn't want to touch them; he thought they were dirty.
But he really wanted to learn a skill, and finally, encouraged by Qin Ren, he weakly chopped twice at the back of one of the men's necks. It didn't do much damage to the enemy, but instead made his own hand ache.
Liu Qingyue: "I'm not learning anymore, my hands still hurt."
Qin Ren didn't press him, as these skills couldn't be learned in a day. Besides, the little thief wasn't alone; with Qin Ren's guidance, he could learn gradually.
After the two left the courtyard together, Qin Ren realized that they were in a quaint little town.
The town was old and dilapidated, with streets that looked only two or three meters wide. The road surface was paved with potholed stones, and most of the houses on both sides of the road were wooden structures.
Some houses have eaves that extend into the street.
The buildings were not very tall, and Qin Ren felt a sense of suffocation walking among them.
As Qin Ren walked forward, he asked the thief behind him, "By the way, I haven't asked you your name yet."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyue quickly replied, "My surname is Liu, and my given name is Qingyue."
"Then I'll call you Xiaoyue. My name is Qin Ren. I'm much older than you, so you can call me Big Brother from now on."
Upon hearing the name "Xiaoyue," Liu Qingyue pursed her lips somewhat uncomfortably.
However, considering that Qin Ren didn't know he was a boy and that the other party only treated him as an ordinary man, he didn't seem to need to be so concerned about the other party.
Also, he has his own little schemes.
Qin Ren called him Xiao Yue, and he called Qin Ren his elder brother.
Then the people on their side will think they are brothers, and even if they travel together in the future, it will not affect his reputation.
Also, with a strong older brother like Qin Ren by his side, he would be safer out there.
"Then...then I'll call you elder brother. May I ask...how old are you, elder brother?"
"I'm twenty-eight. How about you? You look like a child. Are you still a baby?"
The baby Liu Qingyue blushed and whispered, "I'm already... I'm already eighteen years old."
Qin Ren was somewhat surprised when he heard the thief say he was eighteen years old.
The thief looked only fifteen or sixteen; I never imagined he was already an adult.
After that, Qin Ren didn't say anything more, but strode towards the edge of the town.
In order to keep up with his pace, Liu Qingyue could only carry her bag and follow quickly, and she didn't have the strength to speak along the way.
The two successfully left the town, but Qin Ren showed no intention of stopping. Seeing that Liu Qingyue seemed a little tired, he took the bag from her hand.
Seeing this, Liu Qingyue felt a little embarrassed and said, "Thank you, brother."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ren said to him, "It's getting dark soon, let's hurry up and leave. There's something strange about that town, it's better if we go somewhere far away."
Upon hearing his words, Liu Qingyue immediately took a breath and quickly followed in his footsteps.
When he arrived in town in the afternoon, he also felt a little uncomfortable with the town.
But at that time, because of the key, he was always looking for a place with a door to go through, so he didn't pay much attention to the strange things in the town.
Hearing Qin Ren say this now, he belatedly realized that he seemed to have come to a particularly dangerous place.
After leaving the town, the two did not follow the main road, but instead took a series of twists and turns, walking quite a distance before Qin Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Ren: "It should be fine now. When we were still in town, I always felt like someone was watching us."
This is why Qin Ren suddenly fell silent while he was speaking.
He's always been very sensitive; he can sense if someone glances at him twice.
The feeling of being watched in the small town was so intense that it was difficult for Qin Ren not to notice.
As darkness fell, and they couldn't find the door, they could only continue walking slowly forward.
As for why not just go back to town?
Qin Ren felt that there must be quite a few people in the town, and many must have seen Liu Qingyue enter that courtyard.
Those two men were the ones who followed Liu Qingyue into the courtyard. If Liu Qingyue and the two men didn't leave, someone would definitely notice something was wrong and go to check.
Then they would find that the two men had been knocked unconscious, while Liu Qingyue had vanished from the house.
If they later set their sights on that house and keep guarding it, it will be very dangerous for Qin Ren and his group to come over.
Qin Ren didn't want to expose the passage, so he had no choice but to lead the thief away from the town first.
Once those people saw Liu Qingyue leave the house with a tall, unfamiliar man by her side, their attention shifted away from the house.
The two walked for nearly two more hours before finally finding an abandoned house at 10:30 p.m.
Qin Ren went in first to check and, after confirming that there was no one and no danger, he led the thief into the passage.
The two returned to Qin Ren's basement. Qin Ren went out and carried a small bed and several blankets back to the basement.
Qin Ren explained to the thief, "The reason I don't let you go up is because outsiders often come to my house. You look too different from the people around here, and you can't speak our local dialect. If they see you, it will cause a lot of trouble."
It's not so bad if Liu Qingyue is seen; what she fears most is being discovered while crossing the passage.
If the passage could take other people across, Qin Ren would definitely be willing to hand it over.
However, the current situation is that only Qin Ren and Liu Qingyue can pass through the passage.
They didn't know how to transfer the key, and if too many people found out, someone might kill them to steal their time-traveling advantage.
Also, Liu Qingyue is an ancient person.
Even if the country won't harm him, it doesn't mean others won't.
Some scientists and historians who are obsessed with research might imprison him or use him for experiments.
It's also possible that Qin Ren will be studied along with it.
Qin Ren was never a great and selfless person; he was unwilling to gamble his life on humanity.
Liu Qingyue nodded upon hearing this, as he also didn't want to be seen by anyone.
Even though the people here didn't know he was a boy, he still felt uneasy and always felt that he shouldn't let too many people see him.
"You'll live here from now on. I'll have someone add another security door outside the basement another day. That way, you won't have to worry about anyone finding you when you live downstairs alone."
Now, the only thing in Qin Ren's basement is an old wooden door.
Also, the basement light was broken, so he had to fix it.
Then Qin Ren found a flashlight and two candles.
Liu Qingyue looked curiously at the lighter in his hand. "What's this?"
A note from the author:
----------------------
Qin Ren is still a modern person, so he cannot kill people casually; he can only do so in extremely urgent situations.
This is the rule.
