Chapter 8: A Million Lists
Qing Youshan stood at the window in a daze, looking at the completely dark sky and feeling a little stunned, there were so many things that happened in this day, and the ups and downs of emotions were unprecedented.
The house was in a mess, the tattered tables and chairs fell to the ground, the smashed vases, the torn calligraphy and paintings, and even the doors and windows suffered great damage, all of which were traces left by the fight. Behind Qing Youshan was a woman squatting, sitting on the ground with her knees crossed, her head buried in her chest, her back to Qing Youshan, and in front of her was a candle standing on the ground, emitting a dim light, and the grease of the candle kept rolling down from the top.
"You don't have to sleep?" After all, it was Qing Youshan who broke the peace first, anyway, the man here was crippled, except for the person who was hiding in the dark and had an unknown position, there was nothing that could make him feel jealous.
I have to say that Qing Youshan still admires this woman, in addition to her loud voice, she also has some strength, he just watched her slowly move the big man lying on the ground to another room, and did some simple bandages one by one, looking like a real doctor.
The woman didn't answer him, but just looked at the flickering candle flame in front of her with empty eyes, as if someone had taken her soul away.
"Hey!" Qing Youshan saw that she didn't answer, and shouted at her.
"I'm afraid I'll fall asleep and be insulted by you, a thief!" said the woman suddenly.
Qing Youshan was stunned for a moment, and wanted to cry without tears: "It doesn't make sense, I really don't have anything wrong with you!"
The woman was silent and closed her eyes in pain, "What did you do to me while I was sleeping?"
"There's really nothing!"
"Except for him, I have never been so frivolous in me. ”
"What?" Qing Youshan couldn't help but ask.
"He's my boyfriend, if he knew you did this to me, he would definitely kill you!" The woman turned her head suddenly, staring at Qing Youshan with vicious eyes.
"Do you understand people's words? I really didn't do anything to you! Besides, I'm a killer, respect me, I'm a killer, and a killer's time is precious, 200,000 yuan! Lao Tzu has 200,000 and still lacks girls?" Qing Youshan was furious.
The woman shrunk her neck, like a frightened cat, in her eyes, Qing Youshan can do anything, because he is a killer, and the last thing a killer is afraid of is to cause trouble, she can only stubbornly look at Qing Youshan with a vicious look, but it is useless.
The two of them stopped talking, and the room was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, and there was no life to speak of, except for the man who had fallen asleep lying on the bed, still snoring slightly. Time flies slowly, like a long documentary, so boring that you want to go crazy.
The candle quickly burned to the last section, the two of them were not sleepy at all, they were guarding each other, the woman curled up in a ball and watched the candle flame consume the candle, the dim light hit her face, as if covered with a light veil, she carefully stretched out her hand next to the candle flame to keep warm. Qing Youshan held his chin, stood next to the window, looked outside, there was no light outside, this west town was much more deserted than the east town, looking out from here, there was only a black patch, and I didn't know if there were people around this alley, and the woman's shouting did not attract the arrival of others.
"Ahem...... Ahem......"
Suddenly, a low cough came from inside the room, deep and slightly hoarse.
The woman was startled, and hurriedly moved in the direction of the bed with a candle, and squatted down next to the bed, "Dad, are you awake?"
The man opened his eyes slightly, and his cloudy eyes reflected the light of the candle: "What time is it......"
"It should be eleven o'clock in the evening. The woman said after a moment's thought.
"I've been asleep for so long...... the man muttered, as if he had woken up, the whole person had aged a lot, and there was no longer a stubborn shadow on that square and dignified face, and his eyes had softened, like an old man.
"How do you feel, do you want water?" the woman asked eagerly.
"Enshi ......," said the man, "I'm dying......"
The woman shuddered suddenly, "Don't ...... Don't say that......"
"I just hope you're not as ...... as I am when you're my age," the man looked at her gently.
The woman's shoulders trembled, this is a terminal disease, she knows it, how could she not know the horror of this disease, as far as the current medical technology is concerned, it is impossible to cure this disease, although it is very rare, but it is a genetic disease in their family......
Qing Youshan stood far away by the window and cast a puzzled look.
The man lying on the bed saw him and raised his eyebrows at him suggestively.
Qing Youshan pursed his lips and walked over reluctantly.
He saw that the woman's shoulders were trembling slightly, her head was lowered, her whole body was prostrate on the bed, and her long chestnut hair was spread out, enveloping her head in it.
"You're a killer, aren't you? The man said in a tone of non-questioning.
Now that he has been recognized, Qing Youshan is too lazy to hide his identity anymore, and he pouted, "Yes." ”
"Hehe......" the man laughed dryly, "May I ask you a question?"
"You say. ”
"How much is my bounty?"
Qing Youshan was stunned for a moment, feeling a little strange in his heart, but still said: "Two hundred thousand." ”
"Two hundred thousand?" the man opened his eyes wide, and then smiled, "Two hundred thousand is too little, right?"
"Huh?"
"I know the rules of the killer world...... In this way, I will make a price, and you will help me kill someone. ”
"What do you mean?" It was the first time Qing Youshan had encountered such a strange thing, and it was clear that he had already become the target of a bounty, and he actually had to hire a killer to kill others?
"I'll give a million to kill someone for me. ”
Qing Youshan shook his whole body, almost couldn't believe his ears, one million, what kind of concept is this?
"I ...... Why should I believe you?"
"Believe it or not. The man's expression has always been so flat, as if Qing Youshan rejected him, and he wouldn't be good.
"Who do you want me to kill?"
The man smiled, and a trace of sadness appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's my own son, Owen......"
"Huh?"
"You heard me right, it's my own son, his utilitarianism is too heavy, it's all my fault, I can't let him bring the family business into the fire pit, this is the inheritance that my family has accumulated for generations, and it must not be dragged down on him. The man said in a flat tone.
"Can't!" the woman suddenly raised her head, "Dad, you can't do this, there must be a misunderstanding in it." ”
"What misunderstanding, what misunderstanding can develop to the point of killing my father?" the man's brow furrowed, with a serious aura.
"No, it's not like that!"
"That's it, that's it!"
Qing Youshan stood beside him at a loss, his hands trembled unnaturally, a million orders, or private orders, is it luck or ......
"No! I told my brother!"
The man ignored the woman, and just looked at Qingyoushan, "Do you say it's okay?"
"Okay, okay, deal!" Qing Youshan slapped his chest, and the corners of his mouth went up.
"When the matter is done, you will ask Enshi to give you money. The man said slowly, under the dim candlelight, he couldn't see what his emotions were, "By the way, you also have to protect Enshi's safety, knowing that you successfully killed Owen." ”
"Don't worry!" Qing Youshan straightened his body so that his image looked taller, and then turned his head solemnly and looked at the woman, "Your name is Enshi." ”
The woman did not speak, she was still squatting on the ground, her messy hair floating on her forehead, her tears had not yet dried, the corners of her eyes were a little red, and her hands hung on the ground, as if the bones had been sucked away.
......
Qing Youshan wore a peaked cap and walked proudly on the streets of Dongzhen, his pockets full of scattered banknotes, all of which he earned from selling stinky tofu for a while.
He is in a very good mood, because his avatar has been cleared by Li Enshi's shouting, although it has been seen by many people, but it can be regarded as a timely stop loss, plus he shaved and cut his hair, the whole person's image has taken on a new look all of a sudden, and it is somewhat different from before, at least he doesn't look too old in the mirror.
Today's weather is very good, the sky has not cleared for a long time, clear blue, cloudless, the sun is unobstructed on the earth, pedestrians come out to move again, even in summer, the sun on Sycamore Island does not seem so hot, many people wear loose shorts, with swimming goggles and swimming rings towards the sea.
The residents like the living environment here, surrounded by the sea, the climate is pleasant, there are always a bunch of people gathered on the beach every day, the sea has become an inseparable part of their lives, the rainy weather for a week, the people on the island are going crazy, so the first sunny weather, the people gathered at the beach to play are particularly large.
Qing Youshan actually likes this island very much in his heart, because the scenery is very good and the air is also very good, he thinks that when he is rich and developed, he will return to this island again.
In a few days, he will be far away from this small island, because he has received a larger order, or a private order, this time it is an assassination mission, and he can sit back and relax after completing this order, and it will not be a problem to eat, drink and be merry for several years.
He made a lot of money during his time as a stinky tofu vendor, but in the current situation, this money is nothing at all.
Through the conversation that night, I learned that this family runs a pharmaceutical factory, and it is very rich, the beautiful woman is named Li Enshi, and the man is called Li Chong, he is the owner of the pharmaceutical factory, and he has many companies under his command, as well as a private hospital, and there are countless side industries, it is simply rich to the point of exploding, no wonder a million is so understated, in their eyes, this is not money at all.
It's his son, the family is so rich, and he only paid 200,000 yuan like this, phew! Qing Youshan spat a mouthful of saliva.
Li Chong discussed with him and gave him an address, asking him to go to the mainland first, and then make contact, because the plan is relatively secret, so he must be vigilant in everything, and try to avoid the scene of traveling together, so as not to arouse the suspicion of other people.
He walked to a raft shop, the store is very large, the most important thing in Wutong Island is this kind of shop, selling and renting all kinds of kayaks, and many nautical tools, such as life jackets, lifebuoys, and some fishing tools.
The boss was napping with his head propped up, and inadvertently squinted slightly when he noticed a figure walking into the store, so he quickly cheered up and walked up with a smile.
He was in a sideways position, with a round belly, a beard that grew behind his ears to his chin, and he wore a loose white coat, black and white sandals, and large sky blue pants that looked scattered.
"Little brother, little brother!" the boss beckoned to the guests in a cute manner, "Do you want to buy something?"
Qing Youshan paused, he was looking at the deflated kayak hanging on the wall, and looked back to see that the chubby boss had approached him, "I...... I'm not buying, I'm renting ......"
The boss said with a pleasant face: "Then which one do you want?"
"This ......" Qing Youshan raised his head and looked at all kinds of rafts being neatly hung on the wall, and at a glance, he couldn't see any difference at all, let alone what was good or bad.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a kayak wrapped in plastic paper, sky blue, with many black skulls painted on it, and it looked very discordant. Qing Youshan was stunned for a moment, and said that this kayak is quite interesting.
"What's the price of this one?"
Qing Youshan stretched out his finger and pointed at the kayak.
