Chapter 5: The Man in the Black Robe
The flying sword hovers and rises. Wen Jin's face was happy, it seems that he really mastered it this time.
And yetβ
Li Hong is an ordinary townsman who has just finished a hard day's work and is ready to go home for a good night's sleep. In a hurry, he didn't pay attention to everything in front of him.
Holding the package, he hurried away untilβ
An unknown object fell from the sky and hit him in the head, causing him to fall asleep.
Before he fell asleep, his last thought was...... What is this?!
Of course, this is Wen Jin's flying sword, which once again lost control and fell from the sky.
At the moment before the flying sword smashed into Li Hong, Wen Jin hurriedly performed an invisibility technique, and finally Li Hong succeeded in not seeing what was smashed down.
He exhaled lightly, touched the drops of sweat that didn't appear on his face, and sighed at his luck.
This time it was the handle of the flying sword that hit Li Hong's head, if the blade hit, it would kill him with a sword, in that case, Wen Jin would regret it.
He stuck out his tongue, scratched his head in embarrassment, and sincerely said sorry to Li Hong in his heart.
At this time, Li Hong touched his head and woke up from his slumber. He looked left and right, a little inexplicable, why was he smashed down like this?
However, he gave up pondering, thinking of his wife and children's hot kang head, his heart was hot, and he continued to hurry forward and walked to the place where he went home.
On the way, he came across a teenager who was whistling. I don't know if it's his delusion, why is he looking at this young man's face so stiff?
However, this young man is really good-looking, but he is a little feminine, and at first glance he thought it was a girl, until he saw the Adam's apple in the boy's throat, and he understood.
At this time, he blessed his soul and asked the young man, "This handsome guy, please stay, did you see something falling from the sky just now and hitting me?" β
This young man is naturally Wen Jin, known as a handsome guy, he was secretly refreshed, but then he touched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Ahahahaha, I didn't see it clearly." β
"yes, I didn't see it, thank you." Despite some hesitation, Li Hong thanked him, threw the question out of his mind, and continued to walk towards the town.
Behind, in a corner that Li Hong couldn't see, Wen Jin took a long breath and relaxed. He looked at the flying sword in his hand with distress, this thing is good, but it is difficult to control, it seems that it has not been able to use it recently.
He looked into the town, and where he couldn't see, a dark cloud was hanging over the town, casting a shadow over the town, and a conspiracy was playing out.
However, Wen Jin didn't know anything at this time.
A tavern in the town is quite lively at this time.
Staggered, laughter, and a crowd of voices.
Li Hong pushed open the door of the tavern, walked in, and took a deep breath. The smell of wine and rice rushed to his mind, stimulating his salivary glands.
He let out a breath and smiled contentedly. This is his favorite place in addition to his family, every time he comes back from work, he will come here to order a bowl of good wine, and then a plate of snacks, not to mention how comfortable.
He walked quickly to the front desk, discharged a long string of copper coins at the hotel owner, and said uninhibitedly: "Boss, you know, it's still the original food!" β
The boss, who was vigorously wiping the table with a rag, smiled knowingly and asked familiarly, "How is it, has anything interesting happened recently?" Is there something unhappy to say that makes us happy? β
The people around the counter cheered loudly and joined in the fun.
A few black lines appeared at the door of Li Hong's head, can we not speak so bluntly, isn't it good to be tactful?
He shook his head and said playfully: "Don't mention it, just now I was hit on the head by an unknown object and fainted, that scene, not to mention how unlucky and embarrassing it was." β
The hotel owner stopped wiping the table for a moment, and then laughed heartily: "Don't be fake, these days, how can there be something flying down from the sky, are you afraid of kneeling on the washboard and making it up to lie to your wife?" β
Li Hong's face was dark, and it was difficult to dismantle the boss.
The people around laughed and joked about Li Hong.
Li Hong also smiled, and with a glance of his eyes, he found a strange thing.
At a table in the corner next to it, two faces in black robes were whispering, as if the excitement next to them had nothing to do with them.
Strangely, Li Hong recognized almost all the faces in the town, but after some thought, he didn't search for these two faces in his memory.
Shaking his head, he decided to ignore the matter, after all, no matter how mysterious it was, it had nothing to do with him.
He was wrong. This incident decided the fate of everyone in the entire town.
A black-robed man played with a miniature dagger in his hand, turned it in his hand, and then slapped it on the dining table and asked, "How is it, is everything done?" β
Another black-robed man coughed and said in a gloomy and hoarse voice, "It's ready, only the east wind is owed." β
The first one said, "Are you sure?" It's a mess, you know what the above is going to do to you, right? β
The second one thought about it sincerely, and shivered, a little afraid to think about it.
That's not a matter of whipping and whipping, it's an important matter of life!
"No problem." Perhaps feeling a little weak in his heart, his voice trembled a little, and the second coughed and tried to make himself solemn, "It's all ready." β
"Then what are you waiting for, there are a lot of people here, let's continue to discuss it in another place." The first stood up and said to the second.
"Okay." The second also stood up and tried to go out through the door.
At this time, Xiao Er wiped his clothes with his oil-stained hands, hurriedly stepped forward, and said in a flattering tone: "Two guest officers, please settle the bill." β
The two black-robed men were shocked, and the first one pulled down his face and asked, "We only drank two cups of tea." β
Without waiting for Xiao Er to answer, the first one emphasized again: "Two cups of tea!" β
Xiao Er's smile remained unchanged: "In our tavern, tea also costs money." β
The two black-robed men looked at each other, and after arguing for a long time, they still paid the money honestly.
As the two black-robed men walked out of the tavern with clouds on their faces, Xiao Er smiled and waved to them: "The two guest officers are going slowly, welcome to come again next time!" β
There was silence. The two black-robed men had stinky faces, and the first one said, "I don't want to come here again in my life, it's too tricky." β
The second person felt the same way: "I won't come here again, I'm so depressed." β
At this time, a teenager passed by them.
