Volume 1: Lingdong Mountain Snow Chapter 6 Gu Raising
The merchants in the north of the city drank warm wine, looked at the sky, and prayed that the snow would fall for a few more days, so that those wealthy merchants in the south who had never seen snow could stay longer and make more money themselves. But at the same time, another group of people kept cursing the thief, hoping that the snow or winter would pass soon.
South of the city, slums
I don't know who got this name, maybe the people in the city called it too much, so naturally they all called it that, as for the original name, who cares?
A broken tile house, a few bonfires, a group of children in tattered clothes crowded together, Qin Hai has long been used to such days, tightened his half-asleep sister in his arms, listened to the sound of wood bursting in the bonfire, and I don't know whose stomach sounded, closed his eyes, endured his hunger, and prayed that he could fall asleep quickly, at least he wouldn't be hungry if he fell asleep.
"Brother...... I'm hungry ......" Suddenly, the girl in her arms let out a weak cry.
"Xixi is good, let's go to bed first, and we won't be hungry when we fall asleep." Touching his sister's head, holding her tightly in his arms and listening to the weak answer, Qin Hai sighed unconsciously.
Days like this...... When is it a head? I think that the family relied on the hunting team composed of my father and uncles to hunt in the mountains, and opened a shop specializing in fur and animal meat in this city, although the days were not rich, at least I had no worries about food and clothing, who wanted to live a good life after a few years, my father and uncles accidentally encountered wolves when hunting, and the bones were gone, and my mother was sick and died, and the shop was taken back because I couldn't pay the rent, and my brothers and sisters were also living on the streets. Relying on some hunting skills he learned from his father, he barely built a small country in this group of orphans in the slums, and then he barely mixed up a piece of tiles to cover his head, but food and clothing are still a problem.
"Brother...... Xixi smelled the smell of roast duck...... It smells so good. Just as Qin Hai was thinking hard about how to wade through the heavy snow tomorrow to find something to eat, the girl in his arms muttered a few words in a daze.
If someone else said this, Qin Hai might not believe it, but if his sister said it, it would be ten or nine, his sister had a special nose when she was young, and she could distinguish different types of rice by taste from a distance of dozens of meters, she said that she smelled the smell of roast duck, which means that there is really a roast duck not far from here.
However, before he could ask a few more questions, a strong fragrance came through the door, and a vague figure could be seen standing outside the door with something in hand.
Crunch!
The dilapidated wooden door was gently pushed open, and the icy cold wind poured in, and at the same time brought in the strong fragrance, and nearly a hundred children of all sizes in the room stood up and looked at the door suspiciously and greedily.
I saw that from outside the half-open wooden door, a young man of about eleven or twelve years old entered, but he was dressed in brocade clothes, his face was white, his temperament was elegant, and he had a smile on his face.
"Tsk, it's really a good batch of bugs." Smacking his lips, Tang Jin nodded with satisfaction, looking at the room with children, and showed a strange smile. If you want to know why he's here, you have to start this afternoon.
In the afternoon, after recognizing the woman who was going to kill him in the vegetable market, Tang Jin returned home for dinner, and then went back to his room to rest under the pretext that he was tired after a day of playing. Of course, the so-called fatigue is just an excuse, he just returned to the room early to prepare for the interrogation of the culprit at the other party's house tonight.
Yes, the moment he knew the other party's address, Tang Jin didn't plan to wait longer, no matter whether it was sunny or snowy tonight, he had to go, after all, it would change later, who knows if the other party will know his identity after going back today, in case the other party runs away overnight, the clues that were finally found will be broken again.
However, although he was in a hurry, Tang Jin still maintained enough caution that even if he interrogated the other party, he couldn't go in person, or ...... Can't go with your real identity. After all, although he looks a little "anxious" because of his physical cultivation, his actual age is only five years old.
Although his usual words and deeds have long exceeded the category of a five-year-old child, there has never been a prodigy in the history of the Tang Dynasty who can recite poems at the age of five, and it is nothing that he is smarter. But a five-year-old prodigy has a pervert who can interrogate others at the age of five, if he really interrogates the other party as himself...... It is estimated that when I go home, I will be burned by my father as a demon.
So, before he started, Tang Jin came here first, planning to choose a suitable "agent" or a subordinate. As for the method chosen, Tang Jin was also very distressed at first, and he couldn't come up with it after thinking about it for a long time, but fortunately, he knew many people who were "good-talking" and "knowledgeable" in his previous life, and finally remembered a method that a former al-Qaeda boss had demonstrated to him, and he immediately had an idea.
The method is also very simple, find a group of people, it doesn't matter what age or gender, the key is to meet the points of "poor", "can't eat" and "no background", and then throw them a knife, and then tell them that as long as they live to the end, they can have food, and then ...... Just sit and wait.
This method also has a very unique name in China - raising Gu. Gather poisonous insects in a tripod, apply herbs to help them kill each other, and the last survivor is "Gu"
The methods are cruel and inhumane, but ...... Most effective. For the current Tang Jin, human nature is not important at all, or he has no humanity at all, except for his recognized friends and family, everyone in this world has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't mind if many people die in order to achieve his goals.
When!
Throwing the short sword in his hand to the ground, Tang Jin silently looked at the people in the room, "I am Tang Jin, the son of King Dongxian, and I am looking for a subordinate here today." With that, he took out his waist card and showed it around, and threw it next to the short sword.
"I only accept one of you people, and that person's condition is one, kill anyone in this room except me, as long as he succeeds, regardless of age or gender, this son will accept it, and this roast duck in my hand will be regarded as a gift to him."
The voice fell to the ground, the cold wind stagnated, the bonfire was half-extinguished, and a cold air rushed from the spine of everyone to the top of their heads......
