Chapter 3 Murderous Undercurrent

The shopkeeper looked at the green jade bottle suspended in the air, and then looked at the little girl in front of the counter, hesitated, and asked tentatively, "Three hundred wen?"

After hearing this, Ah Sheng pointed to a pair of white jade amphorae in the pile of debris: "Xiaobai, smash it, the one you take now is not worth much." ”

"Hey, don't, don't," the shopkeeper stopped in front of the pile of debris and stretched out two fingers, "Two taels of silver, there is only so much silver in the shop, all of them are given to the two." ”

As he spoke, the old man opened the counter, poured all the small copper coins on the counter, pointed to these copper coins and said: "There are a total of 2,000 Wen here, which can be exchanged for two taels of silver, master, if you can, you can keep it, and we will sign it immediately?"

Bai Chu snorted: "Two taels of silver want to be a green glass soft coat, no way! ”

After speaking, he put away the green glass soft clothes and pulled Ah Sheng away from Fuyuandang.

"Let's go, don't send it!" The shopkeeper didn't pity the soft clothes, but was glad to have sent away the little plague god who could take things from the air just now.

At this time, an inconspicuous pawnshop boy stood in the corner, and his appearance was thrown into the crowd without knowing who it was.

A flaming tattoo appeared on the back of his neck, and on top of the burning flames, a flying finch was tattooed, lifelike, fluttering its wings above the flames.

His eyes were like knives, secretly watching the departing figures of the two, especially on Bai Chu, as if he could drill a hole in her.

She handed the green glass soft coat in her hand to Ah Sheng, and said after walking out of the pawnshop: "There is only one green glass soft coat in the world, it is invulnerable, it is better for you to keep it by your side, and it can protect your life at a critical time." The boss made it clear that he wanted to take it back at a low price, and he would sell it at a high price in the future. It would be a pity if you were to be this soft garment for me today. ”

Ah Sheng put on the green glass soft clothes and said angrily: "The hateful pawnshop is really too deceitful. ”

Bai Chu looked helpless: "It seems that you have just walked the rivers and lakes, if you come out to see more, you will get used to it." By the way, it's not early, so let's leave it at that. ”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked a few steps, but found that Ah Sheng was still following her, so she asked, "What are you doing with me?"

Ah Sheng lowered his head and said, "I'm worried that the Tianhuo Gang will chase after me and take me back when the time comes, so it's safer to follow you." ”

She didn't feel that it was safe to follow her, and that the thunder fire might appear at any time, but it would affect the young man, so she said, "Where is your home? Isn't there a fourth uncle? You should go to your family or the fourth uncle." ”

He replied, "My home is in Zongcheng, which is very far away from here, and I will definitely not be able to get to my house tonight." My fourth uncle is in another town, very close to here, and I will leave for him tomorrow during the day. Please, I'll follow you tonight for one night, and I'll go to the fourth uncle as soon as it's dawn. ”

She sighed helplessly, thinking to herself, it's just one night, and it doesn't hurt to promise him, otherwise he will be alone on the street, and it will be pitiful to look at.

Looking up at the darkening sky, she said, "I'll have to find a place tonight, or I'll have to sleep on the street." If you can have a bridge or a broken temple or something, it would be great. ”

Ah Sheng was stunned: "What? bridge...... Not really? ”

Bai Chu glanced at him and shrugged his shoulders: "Let's find a broken temple." ”

She vaguely remembered that there was a long-abandoned mountain temple outside the town, which was deserted and should be able to live for a while, so she took Ah Sheng out of the town and came to the mountain temple.

Fu Yuandang's little servant secretly followed them to the outskirts, his steps were as light as a tanuki, without a sound, perfectly kept a proper distance, following them without being noticed.

The mountain temple surrounded by wild grass looks very dilapidated, and the scene inside the temple can be seen at a glance. In the center is a square shrine with a painted statue of a mountain god, surrounded by various cobwebs, and the naked eye can see some mosquitoes flying around the temple.

Ah Sheng took two steps back: "Or, let's find a bridge hole, right?"

Bai Chu grabbed him and didn't speak, as if he was listening to something in a low voice: "There seems to be some sound, you listen carefully." ”

Ah Sheng listened to it for a while, only to feel that there was no sound around except for the wind, Bai Chu exclaimed: "Water, it's water!"

When she came to the back of the ruined temple, she saw a clear mountain spring falling from among the rocks and converging in a shallow ravine, forming a clear stream. She trotted along the clear mountain spring and into the dense forest.

Ah Sheng stayed where he was, looking at the desolate surroundings, couldn't help patting his head, stomping his feet in a hurry, and finally ran in with her.

The little man who was following them decided that they would definitely settle in the ruined temple tonight, so after the two of them entered the forest, they secretly signaled to the sky in the distance, and a firework silently flew into the sky, blooming a light as dense as a drizzle.

In the Jackdaw Inn, Shi Mingxuan and Jiufeng were sitting by the window drinking tea when they happened to see this flying signal flare.

This is the signal flare that Lei Huo summoned the assassins, they should be chasing Bai Chu at the moment, releasing such a signal, they must have found some traces.

Shi Mingxuan and Jiufeng glanced at each other, and immediately headed in the direction where the signal was sent.

At the same time, dozens of Assassins quietly gathered here.

In the forest, only the branches of the trees rustled, and occasionally a few sparse bird calls were heard.

After entering the forest, Ah Sheng followed the direction of the stream, lowered his body, and walked extremely carefully with every step, as if some murderous monster would emerge from the grass in the next second.

After walking for a while, I heard the sound of rustling water, as if some animal was licking the water, one at a time, extremely regular.

Ah Sheng paused, raised his body slightly, and leaned forward, wanting to see what animal was drinking.

Bai Chu saw that he hadn't come in for a long time, thinking that he probably didn't have the courage to come in, so he sat on the stone next to the pool, pulled down his clothes slightly, wiped his body that had been running for a long time, and her palm brushed the pool water one by one, picked up the water, and brushed a little drop of water over her body.

When Ah Sheng poked his head out, he saw this scene, his face turned red, and he immediately took a few steps back.

Bai Chu immediately tightened his clothes and turned his head to look at Ah Sheng.

He immediately turned around: "I'll leave now, go to the mountain temple and wait for you." ”

Ah Sheng walked out of the forest for a while, Bai Chu also came out, her long hair draped over her shoulders, dripping with water drops, the two looked at each other, and no one spoke.

She walked to the front of the mountain temple, just raised her legs, and was about to step into the temple, her expression instantly became extremely frightened, as if she saw something terrible, she suddenly turned around and threw herself towards Ah Sheng, and shouted at the same time: "Run!"

Ah Sheng was suddenly pushed away by her, and a sharp and piercing sound of breaking the air came, and a sharp and sharp dark arrow, with a heavy wind, grazed her shoulder, flew against his cheek, and hit the temple pillar behind him.

Bai Chu exerted too much force, his body's center of gravity was unstable, and he fell to the ground.

Cracks spread along the part where the dark arrow was inserted, and soon spread all over the temple pillars, and with a sound, the temple pillars scattered in all directions, and the originally crumbling broken temple collapsed in an instant.

The painted statue of the mountain god was overwhelmed by the collapsed roof, and with a "boom", it smashed to the ground, revealing four dim figures behind the mountain god.

The solemn murderous aura is all around, like an airtight giant net, tightly trapping people.

Ah Sheng stood in front of the ruins in surprise, looking at the four people in front of him, at a loss.

Bai Chu struggled to crawl out of the rubble, wiped the dust off his face, stood in front of Ah Sheng with his back to him, and whispered to him, "Leave immediately, don't look back." ”

Ah Sheng shook his head: "What should you do?"

Bai Chu saw that he was still not leaving, and he was anxious and angry: "You get out of here, my affairs are not your turn." ”

Ah Sheng turned red when he heard this, and he only felt that he was a useless person, and he turned his head to leave. However, countless figures appeared from all sides, and they had formed a circle and surrounded the place.
