Chapter 92: New Year, New Atmosphere (Part 4)
The yard suddenly became quiet.
As if startled by a word.
Chen Chunxing waited for a while, but didn't hear anything else. He simply pulled a stool for himself and said exaggeratedly, "I don't believe it. How could there be more people than those who want to kill me? Tell me more."
Yu Chang: “…”
He carefully observed the expressions of the two men, trying to detect some panic in them.
Unfortunately, the only response he got was the little girl's playful smile.
The expression on the man's face seemed eternally indifferent, as if no one or anything in this world could ever move his soul.
"If we talk about your ability to offend people, I really admire you." Yu Chang added unwillingly.
Chen Chunxing glanced at Xue Yongan and nodded in agreement: "If nothing else, there's nothing wrong with this."
Back in the underworld, they were hated by all ghosts.
Yu Chang wore down his back teeth.
I really want to shut her mouth!
The little girl looks well-behaved, so how come she has the ability to be a troublemaker?
He was speechless and choked, and it took him a long time to regain his thoughts. He slowly said, "I heard about you before I came to the narrow village. After coming here, I received three hunting orders in succession."
"Master Xue is truly capable, daring to enter the Boundary Monument Mountains with only a few yamen runners."
Chen Chunxing and Xue Yongan looked at each other.
I understand.
Sure enough, Yu Chang continued, "Those people from the Nine Peaks and Eighteen Villages are now treating you as a thorn in their side. They paid a huge price in Liuren City."
"Twelve." Chen Chunxing corrected, "There are only twelve villages left. The name must be changed from now on."
Yu Chang's face turned pale, as if he had swallowed a rotten shrimp. Finally, he couldn't help but shout, "Can you stop interrupting?"
Chen Chunxing grinned: "If I don't join in, then you can only sing a monologue, how boring, I am only doing this to save your face."
Yu Chang: “…”
He really thanked me!
A smile appeared on Xue Yongan's lips. Facing the almost threatening temptation, he simply said lightly: "Is that all you have to say?"
Yu Chang was stunned.
"It's not surprising that the people of Jiufeng want to kill me. Even if they don't come, I will find them one by one when I have time."
"There will be no banditry within the jurisdiction of Honglu County."
"As for the others, I have some rough ideas. They are probably from the capital or Liuren City itself..."
"But if you want me to die, you have to pay with your own life."
He is usually taciturn and mostly agrees with Shen Chunxing. Only when facing her does he not hesitate to express the little emotion in this body.
At this moment, during the somewhat bland narration, Yu Chang's heart suddenly tightened and cold sweat oozed from his forehead, as if he was facing a huge terror.
How could this scholar, who should be weak and powerless, emit a murderous aura that seemed tangible?
That kind of momentum can only be cultivated by walking through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
He had witnessed it with his own eyes when he was a child and it was something he would never forget.
"How about we make a deal?" Yu Chang stood up suddenly, his eyes flashing with excitement.
Xue Yongan frowned: "Transaction?"
"That's right, I'll help you solve the trouble outside, and you give me a chance to kill you."
Yu Chang paced back and forth, becoming more and more excited as he spoke.
"You are the only person I have met in all these years whose martial arts skills and insight are superior to mine."
"If I can kill you, I will become the best killer in the world."
Xue Yongan was silent.
Chen Chunxing complained for him: "Listen to what you said, does it make sense?"
"I don't know whether to praise you for your spirit of facing challenges head-on, or to scold you for being shameless!"
"He's already so strong, why would he risk his life to buy you to solve his problems? Is he crazy?"
Yu Chang argued confidently, "He may be strong, but he has you. You are his weakness. You've tied him up in this small place, making it difficult for him to get away and deal with the troubles outside. He needs a helper like me right now."
These words pleased Xue Yongan to a great extent, and even the look in his eyes when he looked at Yu Chang became kind.
Although Chen Chunxing still felt that he was seriously ill.
"Besides, I didn't ask him to pay with his life. I just want a chance..." Yu Chang thought for a moment and changed his words, "Three chances!"
"I will try every possible way to sneak attack him. He will certainly be able to resist. After three attempts, if I still fail, your decision will determine whether he lives or dies."
Chen Chunxing smacked his lips.
There's really nothing to say to him, he's a typical middle school boy!
Xue Yongan curled his lips: "It's settled, I'll give you ten chances."
Yu Chang's waving arms froze, he looked at him angrily, and strode away.
Who are you looking down on!
When he reached the door, he stomped his feet hard and left a few words reluctantly.
"As long as I don't give up on hunting that girl, Liuren City will definitely not send any new people."
Five taels of silver.
It's really not worth the trip.
Chen Chunxing had never worried about this before. He nudged Xue Yongan with his elbow and said gloatingly, "Why is he only staring at you and never mentioning Lao Yang? If I tell Lao Yang about this, will he be in trouble?"
Xue Yongan lowered his eyes and said bluntly: "Old Yang doesn't like to watch the fun as much as you do."
Chen Chunxing backhanded him and hit him, "Don't you like watching?"
Whenever there was something exciting to see, she never left him out.
"I love to watch."
Xue Yongan chuckled softly, his eyes fell on the soft and boneless little hand, his heart beating slightly.
However, the reality is cruel.
Diao passed by the three of them in front of the main hall and returned to the capital, poking them with her eyes intentionally or unintentionally.
No matter how generous the old lady was, she could only allow the two to whisper a few words. Anyone who dared to have physical contact would be kicked out sideways.
Xue Yongan: "..."
He doesn't like being watched by others!
In the end, the two of them didn't get to talk about anything serious. They just treated it as a holiday indulgence and threw all their worries into sleep.
Wait until dawn.
The new year begins.
Early in the morning, Chen Chunxing got the children busy.
"What's wrong with you?"
Diao came out of the kitchen with a pot of glutinous rice balls in her hand. Just as she was about to invite everyone to come and eat, she saw the eldest maid teasing the fourth child.
The kid's eyes were barely open, and his body was covered in all sorts of colorful clothes, making it unbearable to look at.
"Go and pay New Year's greetings." Chen Chunxing said as a matter of course.
Diao was annoyed: "That's why I asked you what's wrong with you!"
Where are the relatives coming from in this damn place?
Could it be that he was going to pay New Year's greetings to Xiao Xue? He slept in Yang Yi's room yesterday.
Chen Chunxing pointed outside the wall and said, "Isn't the street full of people? As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor!"
"Stop it!" Diao put the pot on the table in the main hall without even raising her eyelids. "Don't I know you? You can only lie..."
After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't think of a suitable candidate.
There are no stupid people in the Shen family.
Now even the fourth child is hard to fool.
Seeing Wang Youcai walk in, Diao nodded at him and said, "I'm sure you can't fool Old Wang anyway."
Wang Youcai was completely confused and took a step back cautiously: "Why, you want to make fake wine?"
Chen Chunxing immediately rolled his eyes.
The old man must have drunk some fake wine yesterday! He was awake all night and then started talking nonsense!
"I have nothing to do today anyway, so why not follow me? I guarantee you won't lose out."
There is nothing wrong with this.
Everyone's pockets are empty, and going out for a walk will not make them any emptier.
After they finished eating the dumplings, Yang Yi drove the mule cart and all the children jumped on. Diao scolded them with a smile and didn't do anything else.
New Year's Day.
Let them go crazy.
With County Magistrate Xiao Xue around, nothing serious will happen.
