Chapter 126: Aftermath
After eating and drinking, a GMC business car drove to the side of the pavilion, and Xu Shuwen looked at the asphalt road that had been stretching over.
Build a road through a Chinese garden, I don't know what kind of weird aesthetic it is, is it just to take two steps less?
Before he could continue to dwell on this inconsequential issue, Wan Jie beckoned.
"Let's go, it's time to get to work."
With that, she walked over first.
Wu Xue still had a few mouthfuls of porridge in her bowl, and seeing that Wan Jie had already taken the lead, her speed of drinking porridge had also increased several times.
Wan Jie's fellow attendants also followed her, and the rest of them were also standing outside the pavilion.
Xu Shuwen suddenly found that no one should be able to know about talking to Wu Xue at this time.
Wan Jie didn't know what the reason was, and didn't mention what happened last night, but Xu Shuwen still wanted to exchange opinions with Wu Xue.
"By the way, what did you hear last night?" Xu Shuwen asked suddenly.
He wanted to communicate with Wu Xue about this issue, but he couldn't say it well.
Wu Xue was indeed obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled embarrassedly, "I slept relatively deeply, I didn't hear anything, did something happen yesterday?" β
Xu Shuwen didn't have it for a long time, and the words that were about to be said suddenly swallowed.
Wu Xue's room was closer than his, and if she really had the strength to be at least equivalent to the Yu Dan Realm, it stands to reason that she shouldn't have discovered anything.
If that's all there is to it, she can still use her abilities to fool the past by not having to do with probing.
But there is another point, which cannot be bypassed.
Regardless of whether those people were the faceless people invited by Wan Zheng last night, or they came to seek revenge.
Since these people came to find themselves, there is no reason not to go to Wu Xue at all, there is no way to explain this.
Is it really just a coincidence that he didn't go to Wu Xue?
Xu Shuwen didn't believe that there was such a coincidence in the world, and this little doubt had planted a seed in his heart.
"No, it's just that the cicadas outside are too noisy, and it seems that the ecology is not very developed over there." Xu Shuwen smiled and walked towards the business car.
There was a little sadness in his heart, and neither Wan Jie nor Wu Xue looked like they could fully trust.
What to do in the future?
Looking at Xu Shuwen who walked into the car, Wan Jie's smiling expression suddenly froze, and he sneered twice very stiffly.
Of course, the sound was so small that no one heard it.
Xu Shuwen, it seems that I underestimated you.
Where are the horse's feet exposed?
Wu Xue swallowed the last mouthful of porridge, and as soon as Xu Shuwen spoke, she knew that she was going to tell herself about the raiders last night.
But it came to an abrupt halt just halfway through, and it was obvious that he was exposed.
But he couldn't figure out what he wasn't doing enough.
People are like that, there are always blind spots when thinking.
The closer you are to you, the harder it is to spot.
β¦β¦
In a mountain villa outside the provincial capital, several men with weapons on their backs sat in a circle.
From the outside, this is an ordinary farmhouse, business is not bad, it is still morning, and many people have already driven to fish.
At noon, grilling the fish for lunch is also a good pastime.
Wood stepped through the door and looked around.
The rest of the people at the scene also looked at him secretly.
After all, his foreigner appearance is still a bit eye-catching when he appears in the farmhouse.
How many foreigners know this?
Soon, though, a waiter greeted him, who coughed and cleared his throat.
βMayIhelpyouοΌsirοΌβ
His English has a taste of a country across the ocean, and it sounds quite authentic.
To his surprise, Wood took the next look at him and said in a very standard Mandarin: "Call your boss out, I'm going to play sea fishing." β
The group of onlookers next to him seemed very happy to hear Wood's fluent Mandarin, but when they heard the content, they couldn't laugh or cry.
"This foreigner can, he speaks Mandarin so well, it seems that he has put a lot of effort into it."
"That's it, the speech and the intonation, I guess it's an international student from which university, right?"
"It's just that there are still some problems with the vocabulary, how can there be sea fishing in this kind of reservoir?"
At the same time, there were two little girls who came with the family, and one of them poked the arm of the other.
"Look at him, does he look like a model in a magazine? You go and ask for a WeChat, just talk to him to practice speaking. β
The other girl rolled her eyes, "Forget it, why don't you go yourself?" β
Just when the onlookers were whispering, the waiter was indeed a little surprised.
I still remember when he first joined the company, the boss used to tell these people that if anyone wanted to see the boss and also said that they wanted to go fishing, they would notify the manager to deal with it.
At that time, he thought that this was purely a joke to liven up the atmosphere, but he never thought that he would really meet such a person one day.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll call it."
Wood nodded, "Go ahead." β
In this way, the waiter hurried in, and Wood's figure was still so meticulous.
The morning sun poured down on his face from the side, making his already angular countenance as three-dimensional as a knife and an axe.
Soon, the waiter hurried out again.
"Our manager said please come in."
"I see."
After saying that, he didn't wait for the waiter to greet him, but raised his legs and walked inside.
Passing through a large door into the kitchen, and then through the kitchen, he saw the cultivators in a circle.
"Here you are, sir."
A middle-aged man with a sword on his back said to Wood.
"Hmm." Wood nodded.
"Sir, you can help us this time, we went to the news you said yesterday, Wan Jie is indeed there, but... Ay! β
The other speaker, with a sad face, slammed his fist on the table in anger.
The first person couldn't look at it, and continued to say: "We went to ten good players, all of them elite, but I didn't expect that none of them came back, and they were all folded inside, sir." β
There was also obvious sadness on the man's face.
Suddenly, the man who had smashed the table with his hand fell to his knees.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of knees falling to the ground sounded one after another, and all the people present knelt down.
"Sir! Please do it! β
"Yes! Help us! β
"Your strength is obvious to all of us! As long as you make a move and solve that demon path, there will be absolutely no problem! β
"If you're willing to do it, we can pay for it! Exert oneself! We'll give you whatever you want! β
"Please help us get revenge!"
Wood looked at the crowd kneeling in front of him, his face unmoved.
There was also a slight pity in his heart.
These people don't know anything at all, they hate for it, they work hard for it.
It's all just someone else's arrangement.
They're just a piece on a chessboard, and they're the kind that can be discarded at any time.
Thinking of this, Wood couldn't help but feel sad.
They are pawns, but why not?
Did Wu Xue really regard herself as someone close to her?
After experiencing what happened at the Yu family's banquet last time, Wood also had a lot of doubts in his heart.
He shook his head at the men.
"Sir! You can't do that! β
"Yes! You can't ignore us! β
"It's the news you provided, if it weren't for you, we might never know who killed the master and sister, please be a good person to the end, send the Buddha to the west, and then help us!"
After saying that, he kowtowed to Wood, and when the others saw this, they kowtowed one after another.
Wood's eyes darkened, remembering what had happened that day.
I also remembered the old man's begging to let the girl go before he died, and at the same time remembered the girl's resolute expression before she died.
He still can't forget that expression.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to forget what I'm going to do today." Wood muttered softly, his voice vaguely absent, not knowing who to speak.
"What do you say, sir?"
After 10 minutes, the waiter saw Wood come out, and after a few hours, he didn't see the manager come out, so he hurried in to take a look and sat down directly on the ground.
None of the 10 or so people at the scene were alive, blood was flowing everywhere, and stumps were all over the ground.
