Chapter 12 Hirata Outer Courtyard

What is the most terrible, the most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.

"Guest~"

This person, maybe not a person, although he is hidden in the jar and can't see any expression, will always have a scene of an old man squinting and smiling evilly in his mind.

"This is the so-called power of Long Yin, that is, the ability to be immortal."

"Don't you die!"

"But this ability is not gratuitous, although it will not cost you anything."

The sound is pictured, and the image of a greedy old man emerges from the words.

"That's good!"

"At what cost?"

"Of course it's something of equal value, and the price of life is life."

“......”

"People with the power of the dragon will continue to absorb the life force of the people around them after being resurrected.

People who have died a lot and have been sucked of their vitality are prone to a kind of cough disease,

It's a terrible disease. ”

“......”

"But the dragon tear crystal is something that can repay life instead of life,

Taking it can temporarily slow down the curse. ”

"Why?"

"Guest, businessmen never buy and sell at a loss!"

"What do I need in exchange?"

There was a slight sound of joy from the blue-purple jar, and at the same time its wooden lid opened, and a hand, a shriveled hand, was stretched out,

There is not a single piece of flesh on the hand, it is the state of skin and bone, the bone of the arm is relatively short, but the bone in the palm of the hand is much larger than the average human hand, especially the phalanges are twice as long as a person.

"You don't need anything too precious, just fish scales."

"Fish scales?"

"Koi scales to be exact, those koi have a special scale on their bodies."

"It's in the river, but the fish are more alert."

"What else do you know?"

"Guest, as long as there is a corresponding reward, the merchant will never let you down."

"Really?"

After hearing this, I turned and left, and although it looked like it was true, it could not be ruled out that it was false information.

As if sensing that I was far away, he shrank his outstretched back into the jar.

"Guest, next time, I'll always be here."

But it's impossible to walk like that, if you don't roll, wait, always.

The pace of departure stopped, and I turned my head back and asked:

"By the way, what do you mean all the time?"

"Oh, guest, it's real, it's just ......"

Is it real? I feel that way, too. It seems to be interesting.

After leaving the small beach in the river, I did not dive into the river to search for the so-called koi, but chose to go into the outer courtyard of Hirata to search.

The scene in the outer courtyard was not much different from what I had seen three years ago, with bloody stables, bandit-infested streets, corpses scattered everywhere, and hard-to-find reed-named samurai.

The number of bandits in the front yard of the outer courtyard is not very large, and the number of people who have been solved is only a dozen, of course, this is only limited to the places I have been and seen,

As for the first time in the Xiaodao Mansion, I didn't explore it carefully, although it seems to be the real world, but after all, it's in the past.

Doing something with different mentalities will naturally have different results, so let me explore it this time!

The layout of the front yard of the outer courtyard is like a "Shen" character, and the bridge across the river is the gate of the outer courtyard, and a main road extends, extending the fork to both sides and building residential houses.

However, the dwellings are not symmetrical, but scattered in a very random manner, which is very convenient for hiding and evading.

The houses on the left are few and relatively large, the left is for people with relatively high status, and the houses on the right are smaller but more than those on the left, and they are for people under them.

The Hirata family has always been very lenient to their subordinates, and the relationship between master and servant is also very harmonious, so it is a pity that such a good person ended up in ruin.

There were only two people searching for the mansion on the left, and it was easily solved, and these bandits also had some copper coins on their bodies, and it seemed that the head was also well-led.

Although the people have been solved, there are still a few roosters that have been raised before, and it seems that the people of Reeda Country are very thoughtful.

The lights in the outer courtyard were basically extinguished, and this mansion was no exception, with broken pots and pans, toppled bookshelves and tables, torn trampled brocade silk, corpses with blood blackened, and the pages that were turned open read:

The inner government wants to unify the country and invade my reed land,

plunder my reeds and wealth, chase away my reeds,

The sword saint is unparalleled, and the country is safe and healthy.

"The Sword Master is single-minded."

The most valuable thing I collected is probably the thing to worship, the small box enshrined in the pavilion, the box is written to ward off evil spirits, keep the heart, open it and see some pieces of paper glowing with purple light.

There were obviously far more bandits in the residential area on the right, but there were more than a dozen of them plus three or four wolfdogs, an archer on the roof, three or four people baking a fire next to the house, and the others were patrolling and guarding.

There are not many shuriken on the body, and there are unknown situations to deal with, so it is not worth wasting here.

So I moved to another dwelling, where there were only five people, two on the avenue and three in the courtyard of the dwelling, and it was relatively scattered and relatively easy to handle.

Generally speaking, it is always easy to be found when walking in an open place, but the roof will not, not because the design of the roof or eaves is easy to obscure, but the misunderstanding of most people, except for those old gingers, who will often look up at the roof.

Quickly skimming over the eaves of the right wall, running to the eaves of the front wall, and falling down to the lone bandit in the yard, his right hand tightly wrapped around the thief's neck, and at the same time he rotated himself, twisted the thief's neck with the force of rotation, and pierced the heart and lungs with a knife.

After solving the order, you have to quickly solve the remaining two people.

The rest of the bandits are talking face-to-face, which is a bit difficult, there are people patrolling outside, and the shuriken has to be saved, so they can't make their voices speak out and deal with them very quickly.

Face-to-face conversations are easy to find out by yourself. I can only gamble.

The cat bowed his waist and moved forward, but fortunately the light was very dim and there was only one torch, and the torch was not very bright because of the rain and burning for a while.

The distance between the two was not very far, easy to spot but easy to approach quickly, and one of them was leaning against the fence.

I suddenly stood up from the fence and covered the mouth and nose of the bandit with his back to me, and at the same time stabbed the tip of the knife into the throat of the bandit facing me.

By the light of the fire, I saw the eyes of the thief who had pierced his throat widen in panic, and perhaps he fell to the ground with his hands on his neck covered by the stinging pain of the piercing throat.

The thunder was covered up just right, and the sky was beautiful.

The thief who covered his mouth and nose naturally solved it with a mending knife, and the next thing was to quietly loot.

I wonder if anything here can be brought out......
