Chapter 4040 "Am I considerate?" "Considerate."...
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom…
The knock on the door was urgent and loud.
The servant who was dozing off at the door didn't react for a moment.
After realizing what was happening, he said unhappily, "Who is it?"
Outside the door: "Beggar."
The servant said: "Everyone has gone to bed. You can wait till tomorrow to beg for food."
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom…
The beggars didn't stop.
The Gu family is a very kind family in Wencheng. Everyone knows that they are kind and generous and often give out porridge.
Gu Ruo, the second son of the Gu family, is a kind and righteous gentleman with elegant manners. He never gets close to women and always gives money to beggars whenever he sees them.
It is said that once Gu Ruo went out on the street and was surrounded by a group of beggars. He did not get angry or annoyed, but just gave away all the money in his purse.
In terms of financial resources, they were not as strong as the Zhang family in the east of the city, nor as strong as the Li family in the west of the city, and they were not even in the top ten of Wencheng. But in terms of kindness, they were definitely the best in Wencheng.
Because it is so good, it is inevitable that some people will take advantage of it and knock on your door in the middle of the night to beg for food.
The servant was so angry that he wanted to kick the door, but then he remembered what the young master had taught him: no one has it easy in this world, so if you can be tolerant, then be more tolerant.
He stood up, intending to give him a few taels of silver and send him away.
As he stood up, he heard footsteps behind him.
Gu Ruo put on her clothes and asked, "What's wrong?"
The servant said angrily, "Sir, that fellow outside the door is too much. He comes begging for food in the middle of the night, and our Gu family doesn't owe him anything!"
"Hey..." Gu Ruo patted his shoulder good-naturedly, "I think he's encountered some difficulties. Let's invite him in to rest for a night."
Servant: "But..."
Gu Ruo made a gesture to stop him from talking, raised her foot, and went to open the door herself.
The person outside the door was wearing a black cloak. Although his clothes were not gorgeous, he did not look like a beggar.
Gu Ruo was confused for a moment, "Excuse me, brother, it's so late, is it..."
Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and swung the knife.
Gu Ruo stood there in a daze for a moment, then fell straight back.
The servant was startled and hurried forward, "Sir, Sir!"
There was a bloody mark on the young man's neck, and there was no one outside the door.
The good man of the Gu family is dead.
In the shabby house outside Wencheng, Wen Lanzhi sat bored next to Wu Ciyan, fanning herself and watching him meditate.
He suddenly opened his eyes.
Wen Lanzhi waved at him, "Awake? What are you doing?"
Wu Ciyan stood up and washed his hands, "Use your clone to kill someone."
Wen Lanzhi followed him, "Who? Gu Ruo?"
Wu Ciyan nodded, "Yes."
Wen Lanzhi was about to ask a few more questions when Wu Ci Yan suddenly grabbed her hand. After a dizzying moment, the two of them arrived in the middle of the street.
It was late at night and there were not many people on the street.
It's a little different from Wencheng. No matter how late it is in Wencheng, there are lights hanging on both sides of the road, and no one will come to extinguish them until the early morning.
The street was completely dark, and all the lights in the houses were off, except for the house on the left, which had lights on.
Wu Ciyan walked into the room with the lights on, which was an inn.
He took out the money and handed it to the boss, "I want a room."
The boss took the money and muttered, "Someone else is staying here."
Wen Lanzhi asked, "What do you mean?"
Wu Ciyan said, "This is a famous ghost town in the demon world."
The fairies in the demon world and the ghosts in the ghost world have little contact, and even less so after the presence of the patron saint.
Most of the ghosts that the fairies in the demon world can come into contact with are dead fairies. These ghosts grew up in the demon world as fairies since childhood. They are no different from the people in the demon world, except for their appearance.
But the ghost town is different. It comes from the ghost world and is populated by real ghosts.
Before the demon world had no patron saint, many ghosts came to do business. Now that there is a patron saint, they can't go back.
These ghosts have bad tempers and are aggressive. When business is bad, they often enjoy playing tricks on customers, so no ghosts are willing to go to the ghost town now.
The boss lowered his head too much and part of his head fell off.
Wen Lanzhi shrank back, and the boss frantically picked up the triangular head and put it back in. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You must be scared because you were stabbed by a sword before you died."
Wen Lanzhi looked at his expression and realized that he did it on purpose, so she was a little hesitant to take the key.
clang.
The boss took a step back.
A head fell into Wen Lanzhi's hands.
She almost shouted.
Wu Ciyan took the head and put it back on his neck. "I'm sorry, I was stabbed before I died. Are you scared?"
The boss smiled awkwardly: "...Hehe."
Wu Ci Yan took the key and pulled Wen Lanzhi, who was crying, upstairs.
Wen Lanzhi walked and cried all the way. She looked up and carefully observed his neck, but could not see a single crack.
"Don't cry." Wu Ciyan sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.
The taste was a bit light, but for Wu Ciyan, who hadn't had tea for a long time, it was enough.
Wen Lanzhi continued to look at his neck stealthily.
Wu Ciyan looked up and said, "It looks great."
There is not a single crack on the fair neck, the only unevenness is the protruding Adam's apple.
Wen Lanzhi looked at him for a while and said, "Are you okay?"
"Nonsense." Wu Ciyan turned his head back and poured her a cup of tea. "Cut off his head just to scare him? Am I sick?"
Wen Lanzhi had no interest in drinking tea and asked, "What happened just now?"
Wu Ciyan: "Illusion."
Wen Lanzhi frowned, "Why cast an illusion on him? Why cast an illusion on me?"
Wu Ciyan pointed to the window and said, "Go and pick one that you like."
"What do you mean by picking the one you like?" Wen Lanzhi was puzzled.
Wu Ci Yan raised his chin and motioned her to look for herself.
All kinds of people suddenly appeared on the street outside the window.
The butcher had a kitchen knife stuck in his head. When he had nothing to do, he would take it off and cut the meat a few times. After that, he would chop it off his head and then put the knife back in.
The sword seller held his arm and when he saw someone passing by, he put it back on and cut it with the sword on the shelf, shouting "Cutting iron like mud".
The shop owner next door was arguing with a customer. Upon careful listening, it turned out that the needle in the customer's finger was exactly the same as the needle sold in the shop.
Customer: "This was something the emperor had stuck between my fingernails when he was still alive. Please open your eyes and take a closer look. Can you afford to sell it in your shop?"
Boss: "Bullshit! Stop praising yourself! This is clearly from my shop, and you didn't take it? If you didn't take it, how come I'm missing a box of needles? Did that old emperor steal my needles?"
Guest: "How could the emperor steal your needle?"
Boss: "That's what you stole!"
Customer: “I didn’t steal!”
Boss: “Stolen!”
The customer rushed out of the store, grabbed a sword from the shop next door, and stabbed the owner in the chest, "I didn't steal!"
The boss rushed out of the shop, took a knife from the shop next door, and chopped the customer on the head with it, "You stole it!"
The butcher touched his head, the sword seller touched his arm, and they came running over in a hurry, shouting "Harmony brings wealth" and "Harmony brings wealth".
Wen Lanzhi pinched her fingers and said, "Wasn't it deserted just now?"
Wu Ciyan said, "I was afraid that you would be frightened and scream when you first arrived, so I cast an illusion on you. In fact, they have always been there, but you just can't see them."
Wen Lanzhi looked at it for a while and said in panic, "Will I become like this in the future?"
Even those who had never been afraid of death could not help but start to feel afraid after seeing this chaotic scene.
She didn't want to eat meat mixed with other people's brains.
Eh——
She said, "I will live well."
She took a step back, "Why is only the demon world being regulated? Why is there no one regulating the ghost world?"
Wu Ciyan shook his head and said, "Oh, that's it... because I can't beat him."
"Can't beat him?" Wen Lanzhi was skeptical.
Wu Ciyan said: "The Ghost King of the Ghost Realm is not a pushover. Forcing them will only result in losses for both sides. Some (people) are not fools. Since they can't control it, they will control those who can."
"Oh." Wen Lanzhi lowered her eyes. After a moment, she raised her head again. "In the future, our demon world will definitely have a demon king as powerful as ()."
Wu Ciyan raised his eyebrows: "Equal strength? I still don't dare to think about it, but at least it has to be a crushing victory."
"Yes, crush!" Wen Lanzhi shook his fist.
Wu Ciyan chuckled, pulled her by the collar and led her to the window, "I asked you to pick one you like. Have you chosen yet?"
Wen Lanzhi supported his arm and asked, "Why did you choose this?"
Wu Ciyan said, "I have something to ask you. Considering that you are timid, I will let you pick someone you like. Isn't that considerate?"
Wen Lanzhi smiled: "Thoughtful."
Wen Lanzhi looked left and right, and finally chose the boss who sold swords. Although he had no arms, seeing him busy trying to stop a fight, he seemed like a good person, easy to talk to and get along with. Besides, it was just a broken arm, so he wasn't that scary.
Wu Ciyan said "OK," but did nothing.
A cup of tea passed, and Wu Ci Yan still did not move.
Wen Lanzhi was a little anxious and tilted her head at him.
Wu Ciyan said, "Go take a shower first. Don't worry. Wait until we close the stall later. I still have to go out and buy some things."
Wen Lanzhi said "Oh" and went to take a bath obediently.
After a while, Wen Lanzhi ran back and handed him her purse.
"What for?" Wu Ci Yan asked.
Wen Lanzhi said, "You paid for the inn. Do you still need money to buy things? I can give you some money, but I don't have much."
Wu Ciyan smiled and took out a jade pendant from his purse.
"Where did this come from?" Wen Lanzhi asked in surprise.
Wu Ciyan said, "When I killed Gu Ruo, I was quick and took the jade pendant from him."
Wen Lanzhi had never done such an immoral thing before. "I thought you wouldn't do such a thing. It sounds so shameless."
Wu Ciyan said with a smile: "I'm already homeless, what's the point of having to be so shameless. If it weren't for the fact that I didn't want to be exposed, I would have gone straight to his house and looted it."
Wen Lanzhi took it embarrassedly, "Okay, okay, the person is cold anyway."
She rubbed her palms, feeling that the two of them were a bit vulgar, and what they said was not good, "Hehe..."
She returned the jade pendant to Wu Ci Yan and went to take a bath.
Wu Ciyan set up a barrier in the house and jumped out of the window.
Wen Lanzhi soaked in the bathtub and let out a long sigh.
On the second day of wandering, she found an inn to stay in. This kind of wandering life was much better than she had imagined.
In fact, there was something she had always wanted to ask Wu Ci Yan.
Is he wanted?
That should be the case. He didn't try to hide it well. It was too obvious.
Wen Lanzhi didn't ask, for she was afraid that if she brought it up, a rift would arise between the two of them.
This is what two people who live and die together fear the most, the questions that are difficult to say openly, and the grudges that cannot be resolved.
She closed her eyes and wanted to have a comfortable sleep, but when her head tilted, she suddenly found herself in a bucket. She quickly stood up and changed her clothes.
Wu Ci Yan was quite quick. After she changed the water, Wu Ci Yan came back.
He brought back two vegetable pancakes.
Wen Lanzhi thought of the butcher who sold meat and pursed her lips.
Wu Ciyan seemed to know what she was thinking and said, "Don't worry, it's absolutely clean. I watched it happen."
"That's good." Wen Lanzhi took one. She felt relieved by Wu Ciyan's assurance.
Wu Ciyan put down the vegetable pancake and took off his bulging purse. "I asked the pawnshop owner to change it into small change. Bring it to me and I'll fill your purse."
Wen Lanzhi exclaimed, "Wow!" and leaned over. "I've never seen so much money in my life."
She waved her hand, "But no thanks, I like throwing things away."
Wu Ci Yan took something from his waist.
It turned twice, bang, bang, bang.
Wen Lanzhi was stunned and slowly looked up.
The rattle was handed to him.
Wu Ciyan said, "I bought it for you."

The author has something to say: [Small Theater]
After eating the vegetable pancake, would Lanlan turn around in the middle of the night, wake Wu Ciyan, and say, "After we die, we want to be two clean ghosts. We can't put a knife to our heads."
Wu Ciyan: [question mark][question mark] He rolled his eyes, turned over, covered his ears and continued to sleep.
