Chapter 221 The risk is too great, it’s best to kill them all!
Third Uncle’s opinion was the same as Gu Tang’s. Now that the person had come to his doorstep, it would be unjustifiable if he did not accept the request.
Furthermore, Third Uncle also agreed with Gu Tang’s words.
"If they are really a wealthy family, they will probably think too much if we don't accept their gratitude.
People like that are most afraid of being owed a favor, so it is better to follow their wishes, have them come to your house, accept their thank-you gift, and they will feel at ease, and the matter will be over."
"Yes, that's what I just said." Gu Tang glanced at her father and said, "My father thinks too much and always feels that something is wrong."
"What could be wrong? If he comes, we will entertain him well. If there is something else, we will pretend to be deaf and dumb and not answer. When we return to the village, we will not have any contact with him in the future."
Seeing that the grandfather and grandson were of the same mind, Gu Lianshan had no choice but to agree to this matter: "Okay! If he comes in three days, I will definitely entertain him well."
After hearing this, Gu Tang breathed a sigh of relief. Her father finally gave in.
During dinner, in order to stop her father from talking about it, Gu Tang asked Gu Ping'an to go out and buy a pound of green wine.
Sure enough, as soon as he saw the green wine, Gu Lianshan immediately forgot about Agou and his eyes were full of the wine in Gu Ping'an's hand.
The alcohol content of the alcohol here is not high, so it’s no problem to enjoy a drink once in a while.
Out of a pound of wine, the third uncle only drank a few cups, and the rest went into her father's stomach.
Gu Tang looked at him carefully. His eyes were still clear and he was not drunk, but he would probably sleep more deeply at night.
Agou would definitely climb over the wall to come in at night, but now that her father has drunk some wine, he probably won’t wake him up.
After dinner, Gu Tang waited for her father to go back to the house and sleep before returning to the backyard.
Not knowing what time Agou would come over, Gu Tang first washed up, then lit the newly bought brazier and placed it at his feet to warm his feet.
His hands were not idle either. He took a hot water bottle to warm his hands and sat on the rocking chair in the room. While checking the system backpack, he patiently waited for Agou to climb over the wall and come in.
Recently, I have been struggling with weapons when signing in for many consecutive days.
A lot of items such as anti-wolf spray, electric batons, stun guns, various bayonets, poison gas bombs, etc. were signed in, but the gun she had been thinking about was not signed in.
Crossbow didn't sign out either, and he was defeated over and over again. She really admired him!
Gu Tang has not signed for today yet and is a little hesitant, whether to go ahead and sign or try another method.
For example, wait for Agou to come and ask him if he can rub a crossbow by hand?
Another point is that Agou is now one of the four judges.
Logically speaking, such a person should have good luck, so why not let Agou help him sign in once?
If it is useful, she can ask Agou to help clear out the lottery draw times she has accumulated.
The more Gu Tang thought about it, the more he felt that he could give it a try.
At three quarters past midnight, someone knocked on the tightly closed door.
Gu Tang's eyes lit up, and he quickly got up from the rocking chair, went to the door and asked who it was.
Agou answered from outside the door, but his voice was not loud and only Gu Tang behind the door could hear it.
Then she opened the door with a look of joy.
Agou, who was outside the door, was originally nervous, but when he saw Gu Tang, the first thing he noticed was the smile on Gu Tang's face.
Agou's hair stood on end!
He said the wrong thing during the day, and he was prepared to be punished when he came. But this time, not only was he not angry, but he looked at himself with a smile on his face.
Agou was both frightened and flattered.
"You are..." He stammered, not knowing how to describe it. He was afraid that he would say something wrong again.
Gu Tang ignored him and pulled him into the house: "Come on! Help me!"
After pulling the man into the house, Gu Tang asked him, "Can you make a crossbow?"
"…What is a 'crossbow'?" Agou looked confused.
Gu Tang: ...I feel so disappointed!
"A crossbow with extremely strong lethality!"
Crossbow?
Ah Gou was stunned for a moment, and a picture suddenly popped up in his mind: a pair of big hands were making a weapon, which seemed to be a crossbow...
"What are you daydreaming about?" Gu Tang waved his hand in front of him, signaling him to come back to his senses.
I asked him again impatiently: "Can you do it?"
Agou came to his senses, nodded, but then shook his head.
Gu Tang had a question mark on his face: "What do you mean? You nodded and shook your head, yes or no?"
"When you mentioned the word 'bow and crossbow' just now, a picture suddenly popped up in my mind. Someone was making a weapon, but it was only half done. Judging from the appearance, it should be a bow and crossbow."
Gu Tang was delighted: "Then can you?"
Agou hesitated: "Every action in that picture feels familiar and strange to me. As for whether I can do it or not, I will know after I try it myself..."
This is too much uncertainty, but it's better than having no clue at all.
Choose the tallest one among the short ones.
"Make it as soon as you can. I need it for something."
Agou nodded and said he would do it as soon as possible.
There was some hope for the crossbow issue, so Gu Tang stopped worrying about it for the time being.
She grabbed Agou's hand, put their fingers together, one above and one below, and pointed at the air.
Let’s try Agou’s luck and see what he can sign in.
If she is lucky, she will look forward to seeing Agou's crossbow made by himself!
Agou didn't understand Gu Tang's intention at first, but when he remembered that she also had a sign-in system, he understood why she did this.
Do you want me to help sign in?
Agou looked at Gu Tang, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
There are some things she may not know, so it is better to explain it to her clearly, otherwise you might get scolded later.
"you……"
"Don't talk, can't you see I'm busy?" Gu Tang glared at him, turned his head and continued to stare at the system panel.
For some reason, whenever she signed in by herself in the past, she would just press the sign-in button and the system would give the result after a few moments.
But now I don’t know what happened. A circle appeared on the system panel and kept rolling, as if it was stuck.
Gu Tang was confused. It was the first time he encountered such a situation.
After waiting for a while, the circle disappeared and the system broadcast finally sounded in my ears.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing today's sign-in! Received three copper coins! ]
Gu Tang: ???
Gu Tang:!!!
"Three coppers?!" she screamed in a shrill voice.
He turned to look at Agou, looking devastated: "Do you know what I signed in with your hand?!"
"...three copper coins?" You have already shouted it out, how can he dare to say he doesn't know.
"You are at least a Yin God, right? How come you can only sign in for three copper coins!!!"
Gu Tang was speechless.
Gu Tang was puzzled.
Ah Gou said with a blushing face: "I have always had bad luck. I am always unlucky. I am the unluckiest person in the whole underworld. Any bad luck will happen to me."
Just like the soul from another world this time, he went to the human world to pick up a soul, and after coming back he let the soul from another world occupy his body.
"However, I found that my luck has improved recently. I got money every time I robbed a bandit's den. Especially the second time, it was the first time I saw so much gold and silver!"
At the end, Agou looked excited.
Gu Tang looked at him with a wooden face, feeling tired and not wanting to say a word.
Unexpectedly, Agou's next words almost made Gu Tang so angry that he almost died.
"I've thought about it myself, and the reason why my luck has improved is probably because you received the mother talisman.
You and I are a master and a servant, and we are connected by nature. I must have borrowed your good luck to get rid of my bad luck and make a small fortune."
Gu Tang: ...bastard!!!
She originally wanted to borrow Agou's luck to get some benefits from the system, but she never expected that not only did she fail to borrow Agou's luck, she also gave away her own luck!
Hurrah!
She knew that there was something wrong with the master-servant talisman!
Gu Tang wanted to scold him, but then he changed his mind and realized that although this man had made a small fortune by relying on his luck, all the wealth he had made was given to him right away.
All in all, I didn't lose out.
So, she really couldn't be angry about this.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Tang suppressed his anger and said with a fake smile: "Since you borrowed my luck and replaced my bad luck, you should be more grateful!"
Ah Gou nodded in agreement: "From now on, I will treat you wholeheartedly!"
Gu Tang: ...Why does this sound weird?
"I have something for you to do right now, and you must not mess it up like you did during the day!"
When talking about what happened during the day, Agou frowned and immediately raised his hand and swore that he would not mess it up again!
Gu Tang was skeptical about Agou's oath.
She said, "You still remember the three brothers of the Ma family, right? They were the three brothers who performed the play 'Mortal Stealing Fragrance' that day."
"Remember."
"Now my father has hired someone to send the brothers back to their hometown. The three brothers' hometown is in Qingyang County, and they are said to live in Niwan Hutong.
You go to Qingyang County in person and search for them secretly. If you find them, spend some money to hire the neighbors around them to keep an eye on them.
If these brothers have been honest and dutiful and have not mentioned the matter of the backflow incense, then it will be fine. But if they have mentioned this matter to others, or if they want to go to Bei'an City to inform on the matter and receive the reward, then we will kill them."
Gu Tang had an indifferent expression and stared at Agou, wondering if he would soften his heart.
After hearing this, Ah Gou frowned so hard that he could kill a fly: "I don't agree with this..."
Gu Tang's face turned cold.
Ah Gou said again: "This is too risky. Leaving them alive will only cause endless trouble. Why don't I go over and kill them to prevent future troubles? How do you think?"
"Ah?" Gu Tang was confused, thinking he had misheard. "What did you say?"
"It's too risky to keep them. As servants, I have to eliminate all risks for my master. They are better dead than alive, so it's best to kill them."
Agou's expression remained unchanged. When he talked about killing, it was as if he was talking about killing chickens and ducks, with no fluctuation in his eyes.
Gu Tang looked at him in a daze: "It's not so good... Maybe she will never tell anyone about the backflow incense in her life. Isn't it a bit too harsh for you to be so arbitrary?"
"It's just killing three people. What's so cruel about that?"
Agou doesn't understand. It's just killing someone, and the person is dangerous to her. Is it cruel?
Gu Tang took a deep breath slowly.
She suddenly realized very clearly that although Agou had reincarnated as a human, he was still a cold and sinister ghost from the underworld at heart, and humanity was something he did not have.
"How about my suggestion?" Ah Gou said eagerly, "I'll do it myself, and I guarantee that no one will even find the body."
This suggestion is not good at all.
Gu Tang refused with a wooden face: "Until they make any unusual moves, you are not allowed to do anything."
Agou looked disappointed, his eyes full of worry: "What if they tell others about you..."
"Then you can do it." Gu Tang looked at him seriously and said, "Remember my words. Before the three brothers of the Ma family make any unusual moves, you are only allowed to find someone to monitor them, and you are not allowed to kill them.
If you find any unusual behavior from them, then do it your way. But before that, you must do it my way!"
Agou could feel that Gu Tang was angry.
He hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I will not kill them until they make any unusual moves."
Gu Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took out a key from a box beside him and handed it over.
“I previously rented a small courtyard in Lihua Hutong for the three Ma brothers. Now that they are gone, the courtyard is empty.
I'm afraid you can't cancel the lease, so take the key and bring the little beggars who follow you over to live there. There should be enough room over there. When you come back from Qingyang County, start looking for a courtyard that can be used as a charity hall."
Ah Gou took it and pursed his lips tightly: "I want to live there too? How can a servant abandon his master and live alone?"
"...Are you addicted to being a servant?" Gu Tang glared at him. "I didn't bother with you about what happened during the day. Don't force me to get angry and scold you!"
After being glared at, Agou calmed down again.
Gu Tang paused, then continued, "My father agreed that you can come home in three days. Then you can behave well and change his impression of you.
My father is a soft-hearted person. If you say some pitiful words and give him some money, he will definitely let you live here."
Agou's dark eyes lit up again: "Don't worry! I will definitely perform well!"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said that. But when he heard him say that, Gu Tang looked at his glowing eyes and felt his heart tighten. He had a bad feeling.
Agou was full of confidence and prepared to leave with the key.
"Don't be impatient." Gu Tang stopped him, "I haven't told you the exact location of the courtyard in Lihua Hutong, where are you going to find it?
Listen carefully, when you get to Lihua Hutong, go straight to the end, and the second to last house on the west side is the yard I rented."
"Oh, I'll remember it." Agou grinned with a silly look on his face.
Gu Tang couldn't bear to watch it and waved his hand to tell him to leave quickly.
Agou knew that she was annoyed again, so he didn't dare to stay any longer. He tiptoed out of the house and closed the door considerately.
Looking at the closed door, Gu Tang's expression was complicated. This man obviously looked stupid and was not very smart in his actions and behavior, but the words he said were frightening.
She would have to have a good talk with Agou in the future. She didn’t want Agou to become a heartless killer.
If one day Agou really becomes a murderer, she will definitely find a way to terminate the contract and drive him away.
Who would dare to keep such a person around?
There are risks everywhere in life. Do you really kill someone when you encounter a risk?
She is not crazy and she will not kill people when she encounters trouble!
Gu Tang sighed and regretted taking the mother talisman.
He sat in the rocking chair for a long time before he put down the hot water bottle, blew out the oil lamp, and got into bed to sleep.
