Chapter 148
If you ask who is the happiest person to leave Liu Mansion, it must be Cheng Hui.
Despite Liu Qing's death...
The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, the sky is high enough for birds to fly!
If you ask who is the happiest person to leave Liu Mansion, it must be Cheng Hui.
Although Liu Qing's death had nothing to do with him, he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable when he was with a couple of elderly people who loved their son so much all day long.
Now everything is fine. Aqiu has arranged a safe ending for them. Although he still cannot fulfill his filial duties to his parents, at least he has left them with something to think about.
After getting rid of Zhou Tong, A Qiu discussed with Cheng Hui what they would do in the next month.
Xiao Tong told them that each world has different specialties, but it is difficult to determine what these specialties are.
They use the merit money as a deposit to enter this world, on the condition that they do not cause trouble, and the world consciousness also agrees to give them the same treatment as other people.
In other words, they will not be targeted specifically, and what they can gain depends entirely on their own luck.
"Actually, I still don't quite understand why the world let us in." Cheng Hui floated beside Aqiu, touching his chin and said.
He could understand that those worlds that needed to be saved would contact Xiao Tong, but why would a world like this that was not in any danger allow them in?
How does the saying go?
The world is bustling with people seeking profit, and the world is bustling with people seeking profit.
If they cannot bring any benefits to this world after entering it, why would they allow you to poach them?
Yes, Cheng Hui is very self-aware. His current actions are actually poaching.
It's fine for the world to digest the good things it produces internally, but what's the point of you taking them away?
That's why he wondered, would the Heavenly Dao Consciousness agree to such a loss-making deal?
Lin Qingqiu thought about it and suddenly smiled: "That's because our arrival is good for this world."
"Huh?" Cheng Hui was puzzled.
Aqiu explained to him, "The purpose of your last entry into that world was to save it, but all your actions in there were essentially a kind of 'change.' They altered the original course of events."
Cheng Hui's eyes suddenly widened: "I understand! Our role is like a catfish!"
Aqiu: ...What the hell is a catfish?
Seeing that Aqiu didn't understand, Cheng Hui explained to him what the catfish effect meant.
Ah Qiu understood and nodded, "That's pretty much what I mean. And the recipes you've passed down before might even develop into a whole new cuisine in the future, which will definitely help the development of this world."
Cheng Hui finally understood why so many worlds were willing to reach an agreement with Xiao Tong and let them enter these worlds and roam freely.
Perhaps what these Heavenly Dao consciousnesses hope for are the changes they bring about.
It doesn't have to be much, just a little bit is enough to promote the development of many things.
How did the butterfly effect come about? This is probably it.
Cheng Hui even speculated that perhaps the Heavenly Dao of these worlds had already sensed some crisis in advance, hence their enthusiastic invitation.
Forget it, who cares? To him, these heavenly consciousnesses have no ill intentions. As long as he doesn't commit suicide in other people's territory, he shouldn't encounter any danger.
Just as Cheng Hui was thinking about the problem, a dozen people suddenly rushed out from the woods in front.
These people were wearing dirty clothes and holding weapons in their hands. The leader was holding a large ghost-head sword and blocking the middle of the road with the sword across his body.
"Hey! I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to pass by here, you have to leave some money for passage!"
Cheng Hui: ...
Aqiu: ...
Cheng Hui: ...It’s just, a little funny.
I used to see similar scenes on TV, and suddenly I experienced it myself, and I found it quite interesting.
However... he soon discovered that being robbed by bandits was not fun at all.
The smile gradually disappears.jpg
Cheng Hui floated beside Aqiu with an expressionless face. Aqiu had a well-behaved smile on his face and followed the bandit leader obediently.
Lin Qingqiu said, "How can a weak scholar like me resist a group of burly bandits?"
Escape?
It doesn't exist!
My physical condition is too poor to run. ╮(╯-╰)╭
Cheng Hui: ...
The bandits around were happily discussing today's harvest, all of them smiling, obviously very satisfied.
Even if their only gain was Aqiu.
The bandit leader was a rather burly man, with his shirt open wide on his chest, revealing his bulging pectoral muscles and tight abdomen.
He was carrying the ghost-head knife, riding on his horse, and glanced at A Qiu: "Hey, pretty boy."
Aqiu slowly raised his head and looked at the bandit leader with a smile.
The leader shuddered inexplicably and muttered, "Strange, why do I feel a little cold? Could it be that Liu Yichen is coming back? It seems like it's about time."
He shook his head as if to shake off something scary, and looked Ah Qiu up and down. "Well, pretty boy, don't be afraid. We're just looking for you to help us. It will only take a few days. When we get there, we will not only send you down the mountain, but also prepare a big gift for you."
Ah Qiu raised his eyebrows imperceptibly and pretended to be relieved: "Really? That's great."
"Don't worry, kid. Our king is the famous Lin Tianlong. Our village has a good reputation and never bullies ordinary people." A passerby bandit came over and said.
Aqiu glanced at him and smiled.
Can a bandit have a good reputation? He actually became somewhat interested in this mountain stronghold.
Originally, he planned to follow them back and find an opportunity to kill them all, but now it seems... He looked at Cheng Hui who was looking curious.
Well, since they can entertain Ah Hui, he will show mercy and spare their lives, Ah Qiu thought calmly.
Lin Tianlong was riding on a horse, and the bandits around him followed him. This was originally a normal scene, but when he saw Aqiu's slow pace, and then he walked slower and slower, he finally couldn't sit still.
"Tsk, it turns out that all scholars are gigolos. They can't even walk this short distance." Lin Tianlong jumped off his horse and picked up Aqiu.
Ah Qiu's whole body was about to break apart. Perhaps because he was too shocked, he didn't have time to react before being stuffed onto the horse by Lin Tianlong.
"Just sit still, you're walking too slowly." Lin Tianlong said carelessly.
Ah Qiu was stunned for several seconds. When he stared at Lin Tianlong with murderous eyes, he had already shifted his gaze to talk to other bandits, and did not notice his gaze that was enough to freeze people to death.
Aqiu: ...
“Pfft…hahahahahaha!”
Cheng Hui laughed so hard that he fell backwards. He felt that judging by the expression on Aqiu's face just now, this trip was not in vain.
It was so funny, that look of shock mixed with disbelief was enough to make him savor it for a long time.
"Hahahaha... I mean well... Hahahaha... Can you please show some mercy? Hahahaha..." Cheng Hui swore that he usually wouldn't laugh unless he really couldn't help it.
He could see that Lin Tianlong was a rough man with a carefree personality. He carried Ah Qiu onto the horse out of pure kindness and had absolutely no other dirty intentions.
He could feel that Ah Qiu looked at Lin Tianlong as if he were looking at a dead person. Out of humanitarianism, he kindly advised him. At the same time, he also hoped that Ah Qiu could let them go. After all, these people had not hurt them until now.
Ah Qiu's murderous eyes gradually turned into helplessness after seeing Cheng Hui's irrepressible smile. His lover was laughing so happily, what could he do? He could only pamper him.
Since he wants to keep these people, then let him keep them. As Cheng Hui's lover, Lin Qingqiu feels that she is very considerate.
but……
He glanced at Lin Tianlong silently. He could save his life, but a small punishment and a big warning were still necessary.
So, along the way, Lin Tianlong never had a moment of peace. He either sprained his ankle or had bird droppings fall on his head. Even when others walked on a flat place, he would step into a mud pit.
Lin Tianlong: ...
"Well, boss, do you want to go back and find a temple to worship?" A man in green clothes said while trying to hold back his laughter.
"Get out! It must be that bastard Liu Yichen who is talking about me again. Maybe he did something immoral and implicated me!" Lin Tianlong cursed.
The man in green twitched his lips and said, "Boss, Captain Liu just left for two months due to some matters. Why are you saying this about him..."
"What I care about is those two months!" Lin Tianlong cursed dissatisfiedly: "What I care about is that the bastard didn't tell me about this at all! He ran away without even saying a word! What does he think this place is? A brothel? You have to pay for brothels! But he is just freeloading all day long! I am so unlucky to meet this bastard!"
The bandits around had distorted expressions, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
I always feel that the boss’s words seem to have revealed a lot of things - well, although basically everyone in the village knows it.
Wait… there’s another person here who’s not a copycat of theirs.
These bandits were startled and looked up suddenly at the pretty boy on the horse. They saw that the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and it was obvious that he heard what he had just said very clearly.
Bandits: ...It's over, our stronghold's reputation...
Wait a minute? This guy's coming up the mountain to settle a score. Even if he leaves, he's still considered a member of the village. He probably won't spread this embarrassing story, right?
Everyone had made up their minds that they must treat this pretty boy well while he was in the village, and give him a big gift after he left, and they must make him keep it a secret for them!
The place where they robbed was not far from the village. On the way back, they saw that the village chief was having bad luck and was cursing Liu Yichen all the way.
Ah Qiu was very happy watching from the side, and Cheng Hui was even more amused. This group of bandits were more like a group of funny people than bandits. Watching their performance was much more interesting than watching a TV series.
When they got to the mountain, Lin Tianlong fulfilled his promise and directly arranged Aqiu in a clean and secluded courtyard, without even taking away his bag.
They seemed to be very confident in Aqiu, and it seemed that they really just wanted him to do a favor, so they wanted to leave a good impression on him and didn't even have a guard.
Of course, another possibility is that they have seen through Aqiu's true nature as a weakling and are not worried at all that he will escape from the busy village.
Now that you are here, make the best of it.
Aqiu was fearless, and Cheng Hui, as a ghost, was even less afraid.
Anyway, the worst outcome is just being killed. At most, they will return to their original world, so there is really no need to worry about any other dangers.
Moreover, according to Cheng Hui's observation, there are quite a lot of people in this mountain village, including men, women, young and old. A large number of grain fields have been developed behind the mountain, and the grain grown is enough for the consumption of the mountain village.
So, Cheng Hui was confused. What did these people who kidnapped Aqiu under the pretext of being a counterfeit want to do?
