08. In a fit of rage, the killer finally saw the mother and daughter
After the shopkeeper Wang went downstairs, he took a little two and went straight to the east gate of Yucheng.
When it was dark, he and Xiao Er entered a small courtyard, and soon came out with a tall man, and the three of them continued to walk towards the east gate.
Lin Chong followed him not far behind, vaguely feeling that something was not right.
The area of the jade city is very large, and the east gate is against the city wall, which belongs to the mountainous area, and there is a row of houses next to it.
By this time it was already dark, and there were almost no people in the area, not even much light.
The three shopkeepers stopped in front of a wooden house with a dim oil lamp.
"Ah Da, be sharp with your hands and feet, don't make any noise, and go out of the east gate to find a place to bury them after killing them. ”
"Show this to the soldiers who defend the city, and they will let you out of the city. ”
"Also, tomorrow at dawn you will go around the other gates and come back, and you shall not go through the east gate. ”
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he took out a wooden sign and gave it to a man named Ah Da, walked a few steps back and forth, and stood in the shadow of the eaves of a private house, hidden in the darkness.
"Let's do it, hurry up. ”
Xiao Er said to the tall man, and then reached out and knocked lightly on the door a few times.
"Who?"
Wang Yun's voice came from the wooden house.
"Miss Wang, it's me, Xue Xiaoqi from Yipin Teahouse. My shopkeeper asked me to bring some bedding to your mother and daughter, but the weather is cold, and he is afraid that you will freeze. ”
When Xiao Er knocked on the door, Lin Chong, who was following them, also moved.
This area was very quiet at night, and he could hear the words of the shopkeeper Wang clearly just now, and he had a murderous intent in his heart.
Originally, he didn't want to clean up this shopkeeper Wang Yun who insulted Wang Yun with words for the time being, and was going to let him live for a few more days, but who knew that he was going to kill people and kill people, so naturally he couldn't keep him anymore.
The shopkeeper Wang, who was hiding in the shadows, was watching Xiao Er's actions at this time, and suddenly felt a black shadow flashing in front of him, and then he felt a little pain in his neck, and a voice came from his ear: "It's easy to hit ghosts when you walk at night for a long time." ”
"Hmm...... Lin ......"
Shopkeeper Wang felt that this voice was a little familiar, but at this time he was speechless, his hands covered his neck, and he soon lost consciousness and lost his breath.
Lin Chong held the body of the shopkeeper Wang, gently dragged him to the corner, cut off his head with the dagger he carried, held it in his hand, and walked towards Xiao Er and them.
At this time, the little second named Xue Xiaoqi was still persuading Wang Yun to open the door, and he and the man named Ah Da didn't notice that someone was coming behind him.
"I'll do it. ”
Lin Chong made a sound behind the two, casually threw the head of the shopkeeper Wang at the feet of the two, and rushed over, and the dagger in his hand was directly inserted into Xue Xiaoqi's chest.
"Ahda, save me!"
As soon as Xue Xiaoqi shouted for help, his body went weak and died on the spot.
Lin Chong had already seen that Shopkeeper Wang and this little two were ordinary people, so he killed them as quickly as possible.
As for the man named Ah Da, Lin Chong could see at a glance that he was a martial artist, and it was not so easy to kill.
To Lin Chong's surprise, when he killed Xiao Er, the man did not make a move, but took a few steps back and distanced himself from him.
Lin Chong was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to take the initiative, but the man opened his mouth first: "Both of them are dead, you pay me twenty catties of brown rice." ”
"Twenty pounds of brown rice?"
"Are you saying that the reward for the king's shopkeeper to kill you is twenty catties of brown rice?"
When he said this, Lin Chong's heart was filled with a trace of sadness, and at the same time, his mind was full of question marks.
As a martial artist, he actually became a killer for a little brown rice.
You must know that although this world is dilapidated, for martial artists, it is not so much that they can't eat, just find a barracks to be a soldier and there will be no shortage of food, and even if they reach the seventh rank of martial arts, they can join the Black Armor Army.
Seeing Ah Da nodded, Lin Chong asked again, "Why don't you kill me?"
"If I kill you, no one will give Ah Da brown rice, and Ah Da's father will starve to death. ”
"Also, Daddy said that the shopkeeper Wang is a bad person, and if you kill the shopkeeper Wang, then you are a good person, and Ah Da doesn't like to kill good people. ”
The man named Ah Da said in a nutshell, his eyes staring at Lin Chong, as if he was afraid that he would run away.
"Have you ever killed a good person?"
Lin Chong had already seen that the brain in front of him didn't seem to be very good.
"I ...... Ah Da didn't want to, but if he didn't kill them, his father would starve to death. ”
Ah Da's voice was much quieter this time, and he felt that his mood suddenly became low.
"Twenty catties of brown rice, how much does Ah Da eat?
As he spoke, Lin Chong had already put away his dagger.
"Squeak. ”
At this moment, the door of the wooden house suddenly opened, and Wang Yun walked out.
He heard what was happening outside the door just now, and although he was scared, he suddenly heard Ah Da's voice, and then heard the conversation between Lin Chong and Ah Da, and his intuition told her that it was safe outside, and he gritted his teeth and opened the door.
"Sister Yun!"
Before Wang Yun could speak, Ah Da called her.
"Sister Yun, Ah Da is wrong, if Ah Da knew that it was you in the house, he would not agree to the king's shopkeeper to come here even if he died. ”
After speaking, the tall Ah Da knelt down directly, and tears actually flowed from his eyes.
"Ah Da, you quickly drag the bodies of Shopkeeper Wang and Xue Xiaoqi to the back mountain to be buried, so that no one can see it. ”
Hearing Wang Yun's command, Ah Da hummed, quickly got up, first went to resist the headless corpse of the shopkeeper Wang's back, and then carried the head of the shopkeeper Wang, and dragged Xue Xiaoqi's body from the path behind the wooden house up the mountain with the other.
When he left, he didn't forget to glance at Lin Chong a few times, as if he was afraid that he would be unfavorable to Wang Yun.
"Wang Yun of the slave family thanked the son for saving his life. ”
Wang Yun's gaze moved away from Ah Da, looked at Lin Chong and said.
"I didn't save you, judging by Ah Da's attitude towards you, even if I don't show up, the shopkeeper Wang won't be able to kill you today. ”
Lin Chong is frank, indeed as he said, with Ah Da here, Wang Yun will definitely not have an accident today.
didn't want to waste any more time, Lin Chong didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he said: "I'm Lin Chong, Wang Yun is my father, he asked me to go back to Fengcheng to find you, but I don't want Fifth Uncle Wang to ...... him."
Lin Chong stopped before he finished speaking, because he saw that Wang Yun actually cried when he heard him say his identity.
Momentarily speechless.
"Mother, mother, the old man sent the young master to find us!"
Wang Yun, who was not afraid when she saw the two bloody corpses just now, her voice was trembling at this time, and she ran into the wooden house with a shout.
Lin Chong followed directly.
The dim oil lamp, the dilapidated and simple house, not even a stool.
A middle-aged, blind woman in patched clothes was rising from the edge of the bed, her face excited but dazed.
This scene made Lin Chong sad.
He hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the woman, and said, "Auntie, nephew Lin Chong has come to pick you up and go home, let's talk about it when we go home." ”
