Chapter 46 Ji Qiubai
He shivered several times, his eyes were filled with fear, and he looked like a completely different person. He said weakly:
"I, I'll leave right away."
After saying that, he ran away through the wide open door.
Su Yuan looked at his back and snorted.
It turns out he is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong.
She walked to the door, locked the wooden door, and began to search the house.
There is no secret room in this house.
In addition to finding a box of silver and two boxes of mixed gold bars and jewelry in the hollow stone cave under the bed, Su Yuan also found a box of silver and two boxes of mixed gold bars and jewelry.
All he found were some banknotes, a small box of silver change, and two fist-sized luminous pearls for lighting the bedside.
She put three large boxes of belongings into the space.
He stuffed the silver bills into his chest, tucked the small wooden box under his armpit, and walked out with two night pearls in his hand.
Su Yuan, holding the night pearl, walked past Ji Qiubai who was squatting at the dark doorway, ignored him, and went straight to the room on the right.
Ji Qiubai saw Su Yuan was about to leave and called her quietly:
"Hey, it's too dark outside. Can you let me follow you? I, I'm scared to be alone."
Su Yuan glanced at him calmly, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then threw a night-shining pearl to him and said nonchalantly:
"No, I'll just lend you the Night Pearl for now. Remember to return it to me later."
After that, she turned around and left without looking back, leaving Ji Qiubai alone squatting there holding the Night Pearl, his eyes red, he muttered to himself:
"Wow, doesn't it say in the storybook that people in the martial arts world are not fussy about trivial matters and are chivalrous and courageous? Why, why, all I meet are either bandits or masked thieves, wow."
The other side.
Su Yuan searched the house on the right and got about the same amount of money as the previous one, which was three boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.
When she came out again, she had two night-shining pearls and a large sack in her hands.
Noticing a faint light in the corner of the door, Su Yuan took a look and saw that Ji Qiubai was guarding the door for her again.
She didn't say anything else, pursed her lips, and said in a light voice:
"Remember to follow me closely, and don't even think about running away with my night-shining pearl."
When Ji Qiubai heard Su Yuan allow him to follow her, his eyes lit up and he grinned:
"Okay, I won't run."
I thought to myself.
This masked thief doesn't seem so ruthless!
Su Yuan threw the night pearl and the small box in his hand into the big sack and went to pick up the corpse again.
Except for those with status and position, all the bandits lived in large dormitories and probably carried their money with them at all times.
She didn't even search the room, she just picked up the body outside, how convenient.
Su Yuan was carrying an empty large sack along the way, and whenever he met a bandit he would pick up a money bag.
Now she didn't care anymore. It would be dawn in three hours. After working for another two hours, she would go down the mountain.
However, there were also accidents during this period.
For example, now.
Ji Qiubai followed Su Yuan from a distance and arrived at the bandits' sentry post.
At first he was puzzled as to why Su Yuan came so brazenly to rob the village.
It was not until Su Yuan picked up the purse from the corpse with the tip of his sword that he became curious about what was going on and probed with his night pearl.
Who knows it's just this one look.
Ji Qiubai was so frightened that he lost his soul. He screamed and asked Su Yuan tremblingly:
"Hey, why is there a dead person?"
Su Yuan heard this and sighed, then said casually:
"This evening, I heard that the Banshishan bandits were in trouble, so I came all the way here to pick up the bodies. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have come."
After hearing this, Ji Qiubai turned pale and his whole body trembled.
He leaned closer to Su Yuan with his legs limp, and asked tentatively with a trembling voice:
"This, could it be that everyone on the mountain is dead?"
Su Yuan kept moving his hands, picking up the corpse while casually saying:
"Yes! This mountain is full of corpses. It's really a good thing for a professional corpse collector like me!"
Ji Qiubai swallowed in fear and looked around.
The night was dark and corpses were scattered all over Banshi Mountain. Apart from the sounds of the two people talking and Su Yuan picking up the corpses, the surroundings were silent and eerie.
It was now midnight, and the masked thief was taking him around in a pile of corpses. Ji Qiubai almost fainted just thinking about it.
He quietly reached out and touched Su Yuan's arm, and immediately felt relieved.
There is temperature.
Fortunately, this is a living person.
But Ji Qiubai didn't dare to walk around randomly, so he followed Su Yuan closely.
Unexpectedly, he accidentally stepped on something, causing him to lose his balance and fall backwards.
He exclaimed and hurriedly grabbed Su Yuan's sleeve.
This way.
Su Yuan after hearing the voice.
He quickly grabbed Ji Qiubai's arm with his backhand, pulled him forward, held his waist with the hilt of the sword, frowned and asked:
"Are you okay?"
Ji Qiubai was holding the night pearl in his hand. When he was pulled back, he just happened to be in front of Su Yuan. The soft light illuminated the upper half of Su Yuan's face.
Her eyes were clear and bright, hidden under her long eyelashes, like glass dipped in ice and snow, cold and cool.
Ji Qiubai suddenly met such a pair of eyes, his heart trembled violently, and he looked away in panic.
Under the cover of the pitch-black night, no one noticed that his ears were red.
After reacting, Ji Qiubai was confused. He kicked the place where he had tripped just now and pretended to be angry and said:
"It's all because of this annoying thing. If it dares to trip me, I'll crush it to pieces."
Su Yuan shook his head and sighed, glanced at him and said:
"Are you sure?"
This young master is in a bad mood again.
Ji Qiubai wanted to answer, of course, but something suddenly occurred to him.
He suddenly paused, hiding behind Su Yuan in a state of shock, and whispered:
"uncertain."
Su Yuan glanced at him and said in a light voice:
"If you keep running around and making a fuss, don't follow me and disturb me from picking up the silver."
This time, Ji Qiubai pursed his lips and said nothing. He followed Su Yuan obediently, holding the corner of her sleeve.
Because it's closer.
The cool minty scent of Su Yuan mixed with the scent of ink filled Ji Qiubai's nose, making him touch the tip of his nose uncomfortably.
I couldn't help but think to myself.
The smell of this person matched her eyes, both were cold and clear.
But what about Mo Xiang? Isn’t she a specialist in picking up corpses?
Thinking of this, Ji Qiubai became curious:
"That masked thief, ahem, corpse picker, are you short of money? Why do you want to do this job?"
Su Yuan hummed lightly and said perfunctorily:
"Lack of money, for living."
Ji Qiubai's eyes flashed with slight surprise, and he believed it and said:
"Why can't you find a normal job? How about you come down the mountain with me when the sun rises and be my bodyguard? I'll give you five, no, ten taels of silver a month."
Su Yuan stopped what he was doing when he heard that, turned around and looked at him seriously, then sighed and said:
"No need, this skill is inherited from my ancestors, I can't lose it."
Ji Qiubai was rejected, lowered his head and bit his lip awkwardly, whispering:
"Oh well."
