Chapter 74 The Strange Killer
I spent the whole day hunting geese, but got my eyes pecked by a goose!
Thinking about these days, he was always chased until dawn to escape, and several times he was chased two miles away just when he approached the Shen family... The breath that the man had been holding in his chest suddenly dissipated, and he completely collapsed on the couch, saying lazily.
"Are you really not afraid when you learn that someone wants to kill you?"
Chen Chunxing smacked his lips and said, "Everyone is mortal since ancient times. It doesn't matter if you die sooner or later. If you keep worrying about this and that all the time, you might as well just die."
She held a jade talisman in her palm and played with it, secretly observing the man.
After a long while without showing any sign of movement, he jokingly changed the subject.
"Of course, it's better to avoid death if possible. This guy... let's call him a hero for now. I wonder if you have any intention of abandoning the dark and joining the light?"
"Abandon the dark and join the light?" The man raised his lips in a mocking tone, "Do you want me to be the treacherous villain?"
"No, no, no," Chen Chunxing said sincerely, "I just want you to give me a chance."
The man cast an inquiring look.
"A chance to fight someone to the death."
After Chen Chunxing finished speaking slowly, he immediately turned around and complained to Xue Yongan in a low voice.
"Is this joke too old? Will he laugh at me?"
Xue Yongan did not answer but asked: "Why should I laugh at you?"
Seeing his confused eyes, as if he really didn't understand, Chen Chunxing was shocked.
I almost forgot that this person lives more like an antique than the ancients.
When they first met, she thought he lived in the mountains...the kind who died before he could get down.
really.
The man was amused and laughed out loud several times, but unfortunately, because his whole body was stiff, his laughter was extremely unpleasant, even shriller than the cat calling for sex at the village entrance.
"Forget it, stop laughing... No, stop talking, I don't really want to hear it either." Chen Chunxing moved his stool back in disgust.
The man stared, totally unable to follow her routine. After thinking about it, he said stubbornly.
"You won't let me say it, but I'm going to say it anyway! Someone's issued a kill order..." He glanced at Chen Chunxing and pretended to be mysterious. "When I saw that the person they wanted to kill was an unknown little girl, I took the job on the spot!"
Chen Chunxing was very calm: "And then?"
The man's mouth twitched, and he almost cursed: "And then you caught me here! Brother, you are so wicked. If you have the guts, come here openly! Are you trying to be my dog walker?"
Xue Yongan pointed at himself in confusion, "You, a killer, and I, a master."
"What makes you think you can fight me fair and square?"
The humiliated look on the man's face froze, and he looked away guiltily.
"Whether I'm a master or not is still uncertain... Anyway, I don't feel like I lost."
Although the other party has a strong tracking ability and is no worse than himself, he is even full of conspiracies and tricks!
But, he will never admit that he is bad unless he wins!
"Hey, can we get off topic?" Chen Chunxing kicked the foot of the bed. "How about we play a game for you two?"
Before Xue Yongan could say anything, the man finished talking first.
"Actually, there's not much to say. Go east from here, past a mountain, and you'll find Liuren City."
"Liuren City is ostensibly governed by the City Lord's Mansion, but secretly, it's a hodgepodge of good and bad people who take on all sorts of underhanded jobs. Last month, a wanted order was issued on the black market."
"The price isn't high, only five taels of silver, and the target is surprisingly common. Originally, not many people were interested in this job, but someone asked me, and since I had nothing better to do, I decided to take a look."
"From what you're saying, you're a professional killer?" Chen Chunxing glanced at the man's white hands, then moved on to his covered feet, and finally fixed his gaze on his pale face. "Now that you've seen it, how do you feel?"
The man's lips moved and he hummed awkwardly: "It's okay, you are a good person, I won't kill you."
Chen Chunxing smiled, not questioning, but wondering: "If you don't intend to kill me, why are you still staying here?"
"At first, I ran into another group of people and wanted to stay and see what they were going to do," the man said frankly, his tone sighing, "Then I was chased away by your big guy a few times..."
I haven't finished speaking.
But seeing his face full of dissatisfaction, Chen Chunxing guessed what he meant and helped him finish his words: "I didn't expect that I would have another one here... Two for one, I feel bad for you."
"That's right!"
The man raised his arm slightly and patted the bed board. Just as he was about to agree, he saw the two people opposite him smiling kindly, and he couldn't bring himself to speak.
Why does he feel that he doesn't look like a prisoner?
At least respect yourself!
"Do you believe everything I said?"
After Chen Chunxing finished asking, he stood up to leave, which stunned the man.
"Why don't you believe it? Are you lying to me?"
"I never lie to little girls..."
"You sound a bit like someone who could easily get beaten."
Amidst Shen Chunxing's teasing, Xue Yongan glared at the man and raised his fist at him.
"When your injury heals, you can fight me again. This time, I promise to convince you wholeheartedly."
The man slowly closed his eyes in exhaustion.
The slight uneasiness in my heart has long since dissipated.
He didn't know why, but he felt inexplicably relieved. Sure enough, anyone who was willing to carry a village forward could not be wrong.
People like this shouldn't die.
——
The two men left the house and met Doctor Chang face to face.
"Can it be saved?" The old man always spoke frankly.
"Saved." Chen Chunxing is not the kind of person who beats around the bush.
"It's okay if you say so. I won't be in charge of the matter anyway. If there is any problem... Lord Xue will take care of it." Doctor Chang immediately went to deliver the medicine.
Chen Chunxing didn't explain much. Before leaving, he shouted to the old man's back, "Come to our house for lunch! Master Xue is cooking today, and the cured pork ribs are stewed in a delicious soup!"
Doctor Chang immediately quickened his pace.
After these days, he had figured it out. Why should he be polite to his future apprentice's family? Only a thick skin could bring good food.
He must go!
After the two men walked out of the door, Chen Chunxing started talking without waiting for Xue Yongan to speak.
"Although this man is a natural-born killer, he's got a knack for it. He's kindhearted and has never dabbled in blood... Actually, he's quite bizarre. How have you thought he's lived all these years?"
A 100% failure rate.
It's rare that he wasn't beaten to death by his employer.
Xue Yongan hesitated for a moment, then said hesitantly, "He looks... quite fair."
More than just white.
The facial features are delicate and pretty.
Chen Chunxing covered his mouth pretentiously: "Oh, you mean... Oh, oh, oh... I'm embarrassed to listen..."
The tone of voice suddenly changed.
"How come you know so much about this? Could it be that you've also been a gigolo?"
Xue Yongan wiped his face with his hand, thinking hard, "Next spring, I will take over our land."
He is bound to get a tanned face!
Chen Chunxing chuckled: "Idiot, isn't it me, a rich lady, who supports you?"
I took a gold hairpin from her last time.
Xue Yongan nodded in courtesy, "If you put it that way, it would be hard for me not to be a gigolo."
While chatting and laughing, they arrived at the door of Shen's house.
He looked up, frowned, and finally remembered the important matter.
"Liuren City... do you want me to go there?"
"No rush."
Chen Chunxing spread out his hands and took out the jade talisman he had been playing with for a long time.
"Since they're only willing to pay five taels of silver, I don't think they're going to kill me. After much thought, the only thing worth remembering, besides the jade talisman given by He Liangpu, is that I brought the disaster victims to the northern border."
Originally, most of those people became bandits.
And it is related to the horse bandits in the north.
It is hard to say that no one's path is blocked by making them surrender.
"We walked east past a mountain... I was wondering why I hadn't heard of anything eastward. It turns out Liuren City is behind Boundary Monument Mountain. So, it seems the ore issue is definitely related to it."
After listening to her analysis, Xue Yongan narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked:
"Last time you said you wanted to ask for a favor from Lao Bai, but did you say when you would send the ghost over?"
"It's time for me to meet this old acquaintance of mine..."
