Chapter 27 (Scare tactics)
Showing off his strange encounter and feeling depressed, he rode the Lifeisha behind the group.
The elder who had originally run far away for 50 gold coins couldn't help but stroll over when he saw such a fine horse.
The Elder Transmission of Skills said, "Young lady, where did you get this horse? Such a fine horse is truly a rare sight."
Seeing that the NPC recognized his talent, Showing off his extraordinary encounter immediately cheered him up, and he chatted with the Transmission Elder with a big smile.
"You have good taste. This is Sasha! And she's got real energy. She's the white moonlight of so many people. Even with the addition of Red Hare and Overlord of the Mortal World, nothing can shake Sasha's place in my heart."
"Whenever I go out, I must ride a Sasa."
*********
The elder who couldn't understand what the other person was saying looked enviously at the Li Feisha riding the vehicle that had shown off its extraordinary encounter.
I couldn't help but exclaim, "This horse must be very expensive!"
"It used to be very expensive, but it's not so bad now. A really powerful one is only a little over five bricks."
"A little over five bricks?"
"Oh, it's a little over fifty thousand taels of gold."
"hiss!"
The Transmission Elder couldn't help but gasp.
"Fifty thousand taels of gold? A little more?" the Transmission Elder asked cautiously, "How much is 'a little more'?"
"Four or five thousand, I guess."
"hiss!"
He gasped again, and the Transmission Elder couldn't help but recall the Beggars' Sect's profits for the year.
"It's not even worth a fraction of this horse's value?"
The elder who was passing on his skills remained silent.
Even when he saw Xiuchu take out a handful of hay and stuff it into Li Feisha's mouth, and then casually stuff another handful into his own horse, he didn't dare to wonder about the price.
If he were to hear that his annual expenses were less than a handful of horse hay, even he would be heartbroken.
Driven by grief and anger, the group hurried along for an entire day. They were finally nearing the burial place of Deputy Gang Leader Ma.
"Hey, Elder Bai, what are you doing here?"
The elder with sharp eyes spotted a figure chasing after them from another direction.
“Chief Qiao doesn’t need that many people, but he’s worried about you all, so he sent me over as well.”
As he spoke, his gaze swept over Xiu Chuqiyu's body, finally settling on the sedan chair carried by the Beggars' Sect disciples.
"We're almost at the burial place of Deputy Chief Ma," Bai Shijing called out loudly, "Madam Ma, are you alright?"
There was no response from inside the sedan chair.
The elder, who was passing on his skills, said awkwardly, "Haha, well, the disciples didn't clean the campsite very well yesterday. Some small insects were left behind. My sister-in-law was so frightened by a centipede this morning that she fainted."
Bai Shijing frowned: "She fainted this morning and hasn't woken up yet?"
He glanced at the person who had just had a strange encounter and asked, "Why don't you ask this young lady to take a look?"
"Please, please," Elder Chuan Gong said, even more embarrassed. "As you know, our Beggars' Sect disciples are all from poor backgrounds, and the sect doesn't have much wealth."
"It's quite expensive to hire Miss Xiu, so it's best to save some money if possible."
Bai Shijing also fell silent.
However, he had other plans in mind. After checking on Kang Min and confirming that she wouldn't wake up anytime soon, he spoke in a deep voice.
How much will it cost?
"Fifty gold coins!"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Bai Shijing gritted his teeth and took out a land deed from his pocket.
"Just give it to her."
Caught a glimpse of the Elder's surprised expression out of the corner of his eye, he quickly tried to find a way to speak.
"In any case, Vice Chief Ma has made great contributions to our Beggars' Clan. Now is the crucial moment for Vice Chief Ma's resurrection. As his widow, Madam Ma should be present."
This reasoning seemed to convince the Transmission Elder.
Lü Zhang sighed and patted him on the shoulder.
"No wonder you can be an elder in charge of law enforcement; you've thought of everything."
Bai Shijing personally handed the land deed to Xiu Chuqi. He saw Xiu Chuqi tap the air, then raise his sword, lift his leg, and make a strange movement before sheathing his two swords again.
"alright."
"Is that all? Why is there no movement from inside the sedan chair?"
What Bai Shijing really wanted to say was that you never even went in to take a look.
He smiled meaningfully as he recounted his extraordinary encounter.
"Maybe she's still scared, that's why she's afraid to come down."
Bai Shijing lifted the sedan curtain with some skepticism and indeed saw Kang Min hiding in the corner of the sedan, trembling with fear.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
There were several Beggars' Sect disciples around, and Bai Shijing couldn't bring himself to ask them directly, so he could only say tactfully, "Don't be afraid, we're all here."
Whether it was the dispelling effect of showing off her extraordinary encounter or the arrival of Bai Shijing that gave Kang Min a sense of security, even though she was still afraid, at least she didn't faint.
People regained some of their senses.
"I'm feeling a little unwell. I apologize for the intrusion, but could you please stop and rest for a moment so I can catch my breath?"
Those with profound martial arts skills are all sharp-eared and sharp-eyed. Although the elder who passed on the skills was not present, he still heard what Madam Ma said.
He frowned, and Che Ma came to the sedan chair: "With our current speed, we can just reach the burial place of Deputy Chief Ma before nightfall. If we stop to rest, we'll probably delay our journey by another day."
"Could your wife hold on a little longer?"
Upon hearing this, Kang Min lowered her head and feigned shame.
"Okay, I'll try my best to stick to it."
As soon as she finished speaking, her body went limp. Fortunately, Bai Shijing, who was standing nearby, caught her, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground.
"Alright, alright," Elder Chuan Gong sighed, "Since Madam is really not feeling well, let's stop for a while and let the disciples rest as well."
"It's fine to revive Vice Chief Ma tomorrow, there's no rush."
He then turned around and ordered the Beggars' Sect disciples to set up camp on the spot.
As Kang Min was helped out of the sedan chair by Bai Shijing, she caught a glimpse of Xiu Chu's extraordinary encounter to the side and couldn't help but shudder.
Looking at the ambiguous smile on the other person's face, my unease intensified.
late at night.
Bai Shijing lifted the tent flap, glanced at Xiu Chuqi, who had already fallen into a deep sleep, and spoke softly.
"I'm here, get up."
Upon hearing this, Kang Min, who had been huddled in the corner of the tent, suppressing her fear, immediately sat up.
It sprang out of the tent like a spring.
"Keep your voice down."
Bai Shijing lowered his voice.
"To avoid being discovered, I didn't use a large amount of the sleeping pill. What if I made a noise and woke them up?"
Suppressing the fear in her heart, Kang Min spoke softly.
"If that's the case, why not just kill them all?"
Bai Shijing's face darkened: "They are all my brothers!"
Kang Min sneered: "Brother?"
"Wasn't my dead brother still your brother? You still killed him, didn't you? What's wrong with killing a few more?"
Provoked by Kang Min's words, Bai Shijing suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck.
"Say one more word, and believe me, I'll kill you first."
Despite being gripped in a vital spot, Kang Min showed no fear whatsoever. She simply raised her hand and gently touched Bai Shijing's chest and Adam's apple.
Sure enough, the hand that had been gripping her neck loosened its grip the next moment.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive." Bai Shijing suddenly hugged Kang Min and buried his face in her neck.
"Don't say things that provoke me like that again, or I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself."
A sarcastic expression appeared on Kang Min's face, but her tone remained gentle as water.
"I understand. I was afraid that things would be exposed and damage your reputation, which is why I wanted to kill them. You know me; I'm usually very timid and wouldn't dare say such things."
Seeing that Bai Shijing had been calmed down, Kang Min reached out and hugged Bai Shijing's head before continuing to speak.
"Alright, you said you didn't use much of the drug, so we need to hurry up and get down to business."
The two of them worked together to drag Xiuchu out of the tent and move her to a secluded spot.
"This woman looks so thin and small, how come she can lift such a heavy thing?"
"How did she die?" Bai Shijing frowned.
"I smothered him to death with a pillow."
"Who told you to kill her?"
"Of course we have to kill her, otherwise if she really brings that dead ghost back to life, we're all doomed."
As Kang Min spoke, she pulled a dagger from her sleeve and prepared to stab Xiu Chuqi in the heart.
A hand suddenly appeared and grabbed her.
Kang Min looked up and saw that it was indeed Bai Shijing who was blocking her way.
"What are you doing? If she doesn't die, we'll both die!"
"She's already dead, there's no need to stab her a few more times. It would be bad if the bloodstains gave us away."
Kang Min pushed Bai Shijing's hand away and stubbornly stabbed him.
“This woman is a monster. I clearly poisoned her yesterday, but she came back to life this morning.”
As he spoke, he drew his dagger again and slashed at the neck of the woman who had just experienced the strange encounter.
“This time I’ll stab her heart through and cut off her head. I don’t believe she can come back to life.”
However, things did not go as Kang Min wished. She had pierced Xiu Chuqi's neck many times, but she could not cut off her head no matter what she did.
"Impossible, impossible!"
The fear from before resurfaced in Kang Min's mind. She tried harder and harder with each cut, but she still couldn't sever Xiu's head.
Stop!
Looking at the scene before him, even Bai Shijing, who was used to the battles of the martial world, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
He reached out and grabbed Kang Min, who was somewhat delirious, and spoke in a trembling voice.
"Since we can't cut off her head, let's dig a hole and bury her."
“Dig the hole deeper. Even if she has the ability to resurrect, make sure she can't crawl out of the ground.”
*********
After chatting with Elder Chuan Gong about Sasha, showing off my extraordinary encounters became a bit boring.
She likes to use her brain when she's bored, and it was at this moment that she figured out why Kang Min had fainted from fright.
"So she was afraid of me!"
He imitated Lu Xiaofeng by touching his non-existent beard, and a mischievous smile appeared on his face as he showed off his extraordinary encounter.
"NPCs are afraid of ghosts too, so I have to give her a good scare."
The opportunity to scare the NPCs just hadn't arrived yet. Before Kang Min could even wake up and show off her adventure, she saw another NPC.
Based on her extensive experience watching TV novels, this person definitely has a problem.
Sure enough, she found a sleeping potion in the soup she drank that evening. Remembering her plan to scare the NPCs, she drank the potion-laced soup without hesitation.
Witnessing Kang Min smother herself with a pillow outside the screen, and then conspiring with the NPC from earlier in the day to bury the body, the series of actions left the viewer speechless.
Suppressing his discomfort, he showed off his extraordinary adventure, already having figured out how to scare these two NPCs to death.
They waited until the two finished burying the body and returned to camp before showing off their extraordinary encounter and decisively clicking to return to camp to revive.
The next moment, the game character that had been buried in the ground appeared in the tent.
She waited quietly for the two of them to return.
The tent flap was lifted, and Xiu Qiyu smiled at Kang Min's beautiful face.
"hello."
Kang Min: "Ahhh!!!"
The familiar screams rang out once again.
