"What! No way! ”

Lu Guiming suddenly trembled with fright, and looked at Liu Xiuping who was slowly approaching with a pale face, and the whole person was clinging to the wooden wall behind him, but his hands and feet were tied by ropes and he couldn't break free, so he could only scream uncontrollably: "Don't!" No! ”

……

Outside the house, the strong man only heard a terrible scream from inside the room and then there was no sound, if you listen carefully, but you can only hear a faint tooth-aching creaking sound from inside, I can't help but feel a little frightened in my heart, quickly put my mind right, dare not eavesdrop again.

He didn't expect that this young master, who seemed to be weak, would have such a vicious mind, which was really unseemly.

About a moment later, footsteps began to be heard in the room, and then the door slowly opened from the inside, and Liu Xiuping, whose face was white and obviously better than before, wiped his mouth lightly with an embroidered handkerchief, and walked out slowly.

"You go and deal with it, don't be found out by others." He said softly.

"Yes!" The strong man nodded immediately, turned around and entered the room, and then walked into the depths of the dense forest with a black cloth bag that seemed to be oozing with traces of blood.

After a long time, the strong man walked back, with some bloody air on his body, and said respectfully: "Young master, presumably tomorrow morning, the woodcutter who went up the mountain to chop wood will "happen" to see the corpse that has been eaten beyond recognition by the wild beast. ”

"That'll be fine."

Liu Xiu said indifferently: "I'm the most afraid of trouble." After suffering a loss, I don't want to leave anything to do in the future......"

"Young master, please rest assured, these small things must be handled properly!" The strong man hurriedly patted his chest and promised, "And tonight, the villain will take the reward you gave the young master and fly away, the little one is already fatherless, motherless, and lonely, so I guarantee that no one can find it, and there will be no trouble!" ”

After nodding slightly, Liu Xiuping took two steps forward, but suddenly paused, and sighed: "By the way, I forgot something." ”

"Huh?" The strong man was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask what was going on, but suddenly there was a sharp tearing pain in his chest, which made his whole body shake violently, and he looked at the young master in front of him in disbelief.

"I said it, what I'm most afraid of is trouble." Liu Xiuping slowly withdrew his palm and gently shook off the blood stains on it, only to see that the nails on it were actually slender and sharp and glowing with a self-black demonic light, which was as terrifying as a monster!

"So, let's trouble you to die first."

Looking at the weak and gradually softening body of this strong man, Liu Xiuping took a step back to avoid blood stains on his body, and his gaze also fell on his palm, and the skin seemed to have undergone abnormal changes, the dark lines were strange and weird, not like human hands, but as terrifying as some evil ghost crawling out of hell.

After staring at it for a moment, he gradually retracted his breath, and the abnormal change slowly disappeared, returning to the appearance of ordinary people.

"Point of no return...... Oh, I can't turn back for a long time......"

He looked up at the faint afterglow that had finally fallen from the mountain stream, and chuckled self-deprecatingly.

————————————————

Time is once again in the blink of an eye, and three days have passed.

Now the street market in Yuanyang City has begun to be lively again compared with before.

It is precisely because of the aforementioned temple fair that will start in a few days.

This annual festival can be regarded as the most lively time in the city except for the New Year, often people from other neighboring counties will also gather, and there will be many new and interesting things in the market, which can be regarded as the most interesting for children.

And adults are no exception, often some of the rivers and lakes who rely on performing acrobatics will also join in the fun at this time, performing such as breathing fire, crushing boulders on the chest or other amazing performances, which can have a good time.

What's more, this year, it is said that there will be big names from the capital, and there may be competitions such as poetry, so it will be grander. Even those literati who usually pride themselves on being high have also gathered at this time. After all, who is aspiring to a career who doesn't want to be able to perform well and be favored by that big man, so as to soar to the sky?

Even if you don't, it's great if you get lucky enough to be in the limelight. Literati often compete for a literary name!

Therefore, in order to fully prepare, this time led by the government, several wealthy merchant families in the city are busy, whether it is money or effort, they are always indispensable at this time.

However, there may have been some small complaints in the past, but this time it is different. If you can make a good impression on that big man, maybe the trade road will be much easier.

However, in this festive atmosphere all over the city, there is only one exception, and that is the Lu family.

I heard that it was found yesterday that the second son of his family and the most intelligent and promising prodigy Lu Guiming died in the wilderness, as if he accidentally encountered a wild beast and was bitten and eaten, and when he was found, he was already blurred with flesh and blood, and his limbs were incomplete, and he could only identify himself by wearing the jade pendant on the waist of the corpse.

When they heard about this, I don't know how many people sighed and felt sorry for it, and the Lu family cried even more sadly.

After all, a prodigy who was only thirteen years old and took the lead in the county examination must have a very bright future, maybe he can enter the court and become a big official, and when the time comes, he can support the Lu family, who is still a small family, wouldn't he also be able to ascend to heaven?

Not to mention anything else, this time the temple will have that big man down, and as a prodigy, he may be received, and when the time comes, he will say a few good words, and he will be looked at correctly, and his future will naturally be broadened.

Now with the death of this child, the Lu family, who was still a little better and a little proud, was instantly beaten back to its original form, and they all cried as if they had lost their souls.

At night, when Liu Xiuping heard a son on the side talk about this, he also sighed lightly and regretted, but his eyes were full of indifference, and he didn't see any pity.

Today is another party of fun between the children of rich families, and as a hot person recently, he was naturally invited. However, the square platform that caused a contradiction before is gone. I heard that after the previous oolong, there was a faint trend of being outdated for convenience, which became a laughing stock in many people's mouths, and those fox friends and dog friends in the past were even more reluctant to interact with it.

Without him, who made this guy so blind, and it was Liu Xiuping who provoked him, didn't he deliberately get along with the Liu family?

Liu Xiuping didn't say anything after learning about this by chance, but just chuckled, which made people a little confused about his attitude, and even felt that this person was quite deep in the city, and he was a little in awe.

And just after a few people got on the painting boat, a few maids who happened to have experienced the banquet a few days ago noticed Liu Xiuping, who was quite conspicuous in the crowd, and one of the more clever little maids immediately said goodbye to the others, and turned around and ran to Miss Suyu's room.

"Miss, Miss, that Liu Xiuping and Liu Gongzi are finally here today!"
