Chapter Forty-Eight: What a Bitter Meat Ploy
Ao Lingyang saw that it was hopeless to take Shu Kui away, and no matter how annoyed he was, he had no choice but to take the shark bead and leave in a huff.
Shu Kui watched his back go away, completely came back to his senses, and turned to Rong Shu: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" β
"Sue you for what?" Rong Shu pretended to be stupid.
"Sue me about Ao Lingyang, sue me sΓΉ you are the owner of Liujin Village." Shu Kui was a little unhappy.
"I've seen him, and I've sued you." Rong Shu spread his hands, "At that time, they were still children, and I didn't know the whereabouts of that little girl, so I said it, I can't guarantee that it won't carry my subjective assumptions, what if it happens, after so long, he has become a good person?" β
"Well, you have a point." Shu Kui couldn't think of anything to refute, "What about the owner of the village?" You didn't even tell me by your real name. β
"We don't have real names here." Rong Shu still spread his hands, "The business in Liujin Village is all about assassinations, buying and selling intelligence, etc., and the identity of the person who does this kind of business is, of course, the more secretive the better." Externally, I am the owner of the village, and internally, I am a big tree and a businessman, but there is more coordination and management work, which is not a big deal, and no one will call me 'the owner of the village'. β
"Then when I wanted to go out to help Uncle Wang find medicine, why did you pull the doctor and say that you were going to ask the owner of the village?" This reason, Shu Kui did not accept it.
Rong Shu laughed: "Okay, let's be honest, I don't want Xing Yuan to know my identity." β
"Why?" Shu Kui felt that Xing Yuan was still a child, so there was no need to guard against him.
"Because he'll grow up soon, he'll want to go outside and see." Rong Shu replied, "Once you are outside, anything can happen, so I try not to let him know too much about the village, after all, everyone here still trusts me, and I have to be responsible for them." β
Saying this, Shu Kui stopped ringing.
"Actually, I also told you that I am the owner of the village." Rong Shu said again.
"When?" Shu Kui had no impression of this.
"It's just that when I say it, it's just in time for you to faint cold." Rong Shu looked innocent.
Shu Kui opened his mouth and was speechless.
"Let's go, go back." Rong Shu said, to pull Shu Kui's hand.
Shu Kui instinctively dodged away, suddenly thinking of what he said just now, and blushing a little.
Rong Shu didn't mind her evasion, and looked indifferent, and took the lead in walking towards the stockade.
"Uncle Wang...... What to do? Before coming to the residence, Shu Kui suddenly realized that the matter was not completely over.
"Cremation." Rong Shu pointed to the depths of the village, "I had breakfast, in the open space in front of the bar." β
Hearing this, Shu Kui's nose was a little sour.
"Go and rest for a while, and when the time comes, I'll call you." Rong Shu looked at the sky.
Shu Kui noddedβafter tossing and turning in the middle of the night, she was indeed tired.
However, when she returned to the room, as soon as she lay down, she couldn't calm down, and her mind was full of what happened in the villa before - picking lotus flowers, eating fish heads, learning to swim, the blood of the sharks, the Milky Way composed of blue neon fish in the water, and the kiss in front of the Milky Way, but now, she has no sense of confusion, only lucky, fortunately not deep, otherwise, I really don't know what will happen.
Thinking wildly, time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the sky is already bright, and Rong Shu is knocking on the door.
After Shu Kui washed hastily, he followed him to the small Chinese-style building in the center of the village, and saw that there was a rectangular firewood pile there, and the body of the old man Wang, wrapped tightly in a white cloth, was placed on it.
Xing Yuan stood next to the firewood pile, wiping his eyes from time to time.
Shu Kui walked over and pressed his hand on his shoulder as a sign of comfort.
Xing Yuan didn't say anything, still sobbing silently.
Rong Shu was opposite the two, not saying a word, and always waited patiently until Shu Kui looked at him.
"Can we start?" He asked.
Shu Kui was silent and acquiesced.
Rong Shu waved his hand towards the firewood, and in an instant, a flame more than half a person high burst up, burning extremely vigorously, and in a few moments everything was burned into a pile of black ashes.
"Can Uncle Wang see Grandma Wang? Will you suffer in hell forever? Shu Kui asked faintly.
"Possibly." Rong Shu is not sure.
"If I die in the future, I won't be able to reincarnate, and I will wander in the Netherworld forever." Shu Kui couldn't help but think of himself.
"You're not going to die." Rong Shu replied firmly, "I won't let you die." β
Shu Kui was stunned for a moment and smiled: "You are an immortal?" Have such a big ability? Or are you going to let me worship you as a teacher and teach me to practice immortality? β
"Is it possible to live forever? I want it too. Xing Yuan was interested.
"Have you done your homework and exercises?" This is a killer feature when Rong Shu doesn't want him to get involved.
Sure enough, Xing Yuan Bai Rongshu glanced at him, flattened his mouth, turned around silently, and went back to complete the task.
Watching him walk away, Rong Shu took Shu Kui to the bar and asked her to sit at the bar while he went to the back of the bar to pour a drink.
"You're usually upstairs?" Shu Kui remembered that he once introduced that the second floor was an office area, and there was an office of the owner of the village.
"I'm here a lot." Rong Shu pointed to his feet, "There are large transactions, you have to see who the client is, whether it is reliable or not." β
While he was talking, a man walked in, called out to the tree, and tilted his head out the door.
"Bring it in." Rong Shu put a glass of juice in front of Shu Kui.
The visitor shouted immediately, and saw two blindfolded men with their hands tied behind their backs being escorted in.
Rong Shu ordered someone to untie their blindfolds and said to Shu Kui: "Look at it, it's not them." β
"Who?" Shu Kui didn't react for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head to look and asked.
These two people, one tall and strong, with a full face and a medium build, looked a little cringe, they were Xiao Liu and Xiao Wu who met on the border of the three countries not long ago.
Seeing them, Shu Kui couldn't believe his eyes.
"Isn't it them? Can you still remember? Rong Shu asked again.
"Yes." Of course, Shu Kui will not forget jì, "However, how to ......"
"Yes." Rong Shu interrupted her.
"Girl, it's great that you're still alive." Xiao Wu recognized Shu Kui, and almost covered it with a bitter face.
"How's your injury?" Shu Kui still remembers the bleeding wound on his stomach vividly.
"Much better, out of the way." Xiao Wu secretly said Fortunately, this girl should not be ungrateful.
"He asked you to stab him and let you go, right?" Rong Shu walked out from behind the bar.
"Yes. I didn't dare at the time, he took my hand hard and stabbed himself. Shu Kui did not say this detail.
Rong Shu let out an "oh" and came to Xiao Wu: "What's in that hole, do you know?" β
"What's there? I don't know. "Xiao Wu doesn't look like he's lying.
"I've been there to see it, the front, the place where you entered, was repaired by the guards who were stationed at the border before, and the back, including the exit, was dug up by the Nightmare Beast." Rong Shu stared straight at Xiao Wu, "Since you know that you can go outside if you go deeper, do you know that it is the nest of the Nightmare Beast?" Besides, that place is still in the territory of Yulan. β
Hearing this, Xiao Wu's face changed slightly, but he still insisted on what he said before: "My lord, I really didn't know that there was a nightmare beast there. β
"As far as I know, among all the border guards, you, Brother Qi and Xiao Liu have the best relationship." Rong Shu ignored him and continued, "Among them, Brother Qi is the most bold, domineering, and ruthless, and you have reaped a lot of benefits by following him. β
"My lord, I was forced to be helpless, if I didn't listen to him, I would die at that time." Xiao Wu shouted aggrieved, "Besides, he takes the big head, and we can only eat the rest." β
"Well, it's not a thing, hateful." Rong Shu answered.
"That's right, sir." Xiao Wu saw the hope of life, "We have long wanted to get rid of him, but we can't beat him, so we have to make compromises." β
"So, you came up with such a bitter ploy to let this mortal lead Brother Qi into the Nightmare Beast's lair to get rid of him, right?" Rong Shu said unhurriedly.
"No, my lord, I was wronged." Xiao Wu knelt down and tried his best to deny it, but his eyes flickered.
"Now, you changed your name to Brother Wu, right?" Rong Shu turned to Xiao Liu, "Did he sue you, he and Brother Qi met the Nightmare Beast together, he fought with the Nightmare Beast, but in the end he was defeated, and Brother Qi was eaten, and he escaped by luck?" β
Xiao Liu looked at Rong Shu blankly, and felt that this little kid was like a god.
Rong Shu returned to Shu Kui's side, leaned back to the bar, and looked at her with a smile: "Now you know, Xiao Wu is not a good person. On the one hand, he is using you as bait, on the other hand, if the incident happens in the future and it is investigated, Brother Qi's death is deserved, and he will become the hero who protects you. β
Knowing the truth of the matter, a feeling of being fooled arose, Shu Kui was so angry that he rushed over and kicked Xiao Wu hard.
Of course, Xiao Wu didn't dare to resist, and fell to the ground, knowing that no matter how much he argued, it was useless, so he could only say nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.
"What do you want to do with them?" Rong Shu still leaned on the bar, allowing Shu Kui to kick and beat Xiao Wu.
"Dragged out, dug and buried!" Shu Kui was furious and did not choose his words.
Rong Shu nodded and motioned to his subordinates who were guarding next to him to do the same.
And when he saw that the two were really dragged away, Shu Kui realized that what he said casually was about to come true.
"Wait." She hurried to stop it.
"Changed your mind?" Rong Shu raised his eyebrows, "Chop and feed the dog?" Or push off a cliff? β
Shu Kui didn't say anything - she didn't want anyone to die because of her.
"Or, throw it into the woods for the one-eyed crow?" Rong Shu gave another choice.
"Beat it up, let it go." This was the most severe punishment Shu Kui could think of.
"It's fine." Rong Shu turned his head and ordered, "Xiao Liu broke one hand, Xiao Wu broke his legs." β
"Don't!" Shu Kui didn't expect Rong Shu's understanding of "beating" to be like this.
"Then you say, what to do?" Rong Shu looked like he was listening to it.
