Since ancient times, cannon fodder and the heroine have been opposites, not to mention that she is the original heroine.
Chi Xingyue was really afraid that if he had too much contact with her, he would return to the same fate and not only lose everything, but also lose his life.
He couldn't help but shudder, but Ling Yi was here, so it was not convenient to discuss it with Ling Jiheng.
I could only suppress my thoughts and listen to him continue.
“Those two scoundrels were dealt with by Cui’s father.
It has to be said that the officials were very meticulous. Not only did they frame the two men for drinking, they also attracted wild dogs to eat them, thus seizing all the key evidence.
However, what is suspicious is that Xia Simao and Jiang Laibao really made a fortune.
I went to check, but no one knew where this windfall came from, it was as if it fell from the sky.
But some people also suspect that the deaths of the two were related to this windfall.”
Ling Jiheng nodded, thinking that this might be related to the people in Shangjing City.
After all, no matter what, Cui Wan'er is the legitimate daughter of the former Minister of Revenue. Even if ordinary people had any thoughts about her, they would not dare to be so blatant.
Seeing that Ling Yi looked exhausted, Ling Jiheng waved his hand and told him to go back and rest.
After closing the door again, Chi Xingyue said something and slipped into the space.
When I arrived at the Nanshan Village Police Station and walked through the gate, I saw three steps appearing out of thin air on the empty land.
It was obviously the steps leading to the police station.
Chi Xingyue stepped onto the stairs, raised his hand and touched it, but it was empty, there was nothing.
He turned around and sat on the steps, holding his chin in his hand and thinking.
What conditions were triggered to upgrade the space just a little bit?
If it is to help the heroine avoid disaster, shouldn't at least an office be unlocked?
But these two upgrades are both related to the heroine. What is the connection between them?
If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it. Chi Xingyue picked a dozen winter dates, washed them, and left the space.
While eating, he said to Ling Jiheng, "My thing has been upgraded, but I don't know what the trigger mechanism is. I always feel that it is related to Cui Wan'er, but it is not closely related."
Ling Jiheng paused chewing, frowned, and asked, "Tell me more about it."
Chi Xingyue thought for a moment and vaguely recounted how the old man helped Cui Wan'er escape, as well as the changes in space just now.
He added, "When I was in the Immortal Realm, I received news that the Third Prince's Consort was reborn. In her previous life, Cui Wan'er was the Third Prince's Consort and became the Queen."
Chi Xingyue sighed, "To be honest, whether it's the current Third Prince's Consort or Cui Wan'er, I don't want to have any contact with them.
People like them have strong luck, and if we come into contact with them too much, we will easily be used as cannon fodder.
Well, just like the old man, he was clearly trying to help, but in the end he was almost implicated in a murder case."
What Chi Xingyue didn't say was that if Cui Wan'er came to power in the future, it would be hard to say whether she would repay kindness with enmity.
After all, these ancient people would use any means to achieve their goals.
Ling Jiheng understood the hidden meaning in her words and felt that the situation was not optimistic.
It is possible to restrain the Ling family from associating with the Cui family, but does Chi Xingyue's space really have to stop here?
"What do you think?" Ling Jiheng asked.
Chi Xingyue hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his thoughts: "I want to do an experiment to see if the space upgrade is related to Cui Wan'er.
If I do, I won't cling to it. I don't want to get into unnecessary karma because of my greed."
Ling Jiheng nodded and asked Chi Xingyue to wear something thicker. The two of them left the Ling family under the cover of night and galloped on horseback in the cool moonlight.
Chi Xingyue wrapped his cloak tightly around himself, feeling sweet in his heart.
It didn't take long for the two of them to reach Dahe Village.
Chi Xingyue put the horse into the space, and he and Ling Jiheng successfully found the cellar of Cui Wan'er's house according to Ling Yi's description.
Having taken two lives, the Cui family is still in shock and has not slept yet.
Although the cause of death of Xia Simao and Jiang Laibao was not discussed, the oil lamp was lit as a luxury.
Chi Xingyue took out two golden beans from the space and buried them in the soil at the entrance of the cellar.
She believed that with Cui Wan'er's luck, she would definitely be able to discover the surprise she had hidden.
I was about to leave when I heard someone getting up.
"I'm going outside to relieve myself. Madam, please lock the door."
After Cui Wan'er was almost humiliated, the Cui family became extremely cautious when it came to safety.
Cui's mother immediately put on her clothes and said, "Okay, go ahead."
However, before she could make a move, Cui Wan'er's brother, Cui Shouqing, got out of bed and said, "Mom, you continue to sleep. I'll go out with Dad."
Cui's mother nodded: "Okay!"
Ling Jiheng took Chi Xingyue away and reminded her in her ear: "Do you have a rabbit? Give me a rabbit!"
Chi Xingyue's eyes lit up, and he took out a gray rabbit from the space, threw it on the ground, and sprinkled some spiritual spring water to attract the rabbit so that it would not run away. Then, he was led by Ling Jiheng and jumped onto a tree not far away.
The tree was so densely leafed that Chi Xingyue could see nothing from above. However, when he looked up, he could see spots of moonlight.
After a moment, Cui Wan'er's father, Cui Jingzhong, came out and rushed towards the woods, completely unaware of the little gray rabbit chewing in the grass.
This rabbit was used to being kept in a cage and had no sense of vigilance at all. It was busy chewing grass and even the sound of the gate opening and closing did not scare it away.
Of course, it also has something to do with the spiritual spring water.
It was Cui Shouqing who came out to keep watch and heard the rustling sound in the bushes.
Fearing that there might be an ambush, he went back to the house and got a kitchen knife. When he came out, he saw that it was a rabbit!
Cui Shouqing was so surprised that he reached out and chopped the rabbit, and the poor little gray rabbit's head and body were separated.
Blood was splattered all over the grass, but Cui Shouqing's hands were shaking with excitement.
A rabbit is not comparable to the barbecue given by the kind master.
However, she had to suppress the scream in her throat. After Mr. Cui finished defecating, she held the rabbit in front of the other person and covered Mr. Cui's mouth and nose. She waited until he calmed down before letting go.
"Dad, while everyone is asleep, I'm going to the fields to roast the rabbit. You and Mom have been tired lately, let's eat something good to replenish ourselves."
Cui Jingzhong had no objection and just told his son to be careful.
If someone finds out, it doesn’t matter if the rabbit is lost. The important thing is to protect yourself.
Fortunately, everyone was afraid that the ghosts of Xia Simao and Jiang Laibao had not left tonight, so they hid at home and refused to come out.
Otherwise, the aroma of Cui Shouqing's roasted rabbit would have drawn people out long ago.
Chi Xingyue sat on a tree branch and became sleepy from waiting.
But Cui Shouqing hadn't returned yet, so she couldn't leave. If she bumped into him on the way, it would be embarrassing and cause trouble.
Ling Jiheng signaled to Chi Xingyue that she could sleep on his shoulder, but Chi Xingyue was worried that she would catch a cold, so she didn't respond.
Leaning against him, yawning continuously.
Afraid that he would fall asleep, he took two cups of Coke from the private room, drank one for himself and gave one to Ling Jiheng.
She was very open-minded and thought that if the space could be upgraded to level three, all these would be refreshed.
If not, well, forget it. It's just a Coke, she can afford it.
