Chapter 46: Meet the Peony Again
Seeing that I took the initiative to approach, Peony looked at me vigilantly and took the bag into his arms.
I coughed a little and said, "I have emergency supplies in my bag, can I exchange some water and food with you?" ”
She said coldly, "If you want, just grab it, why bother so much?" ”
Rob? I didn't react for a moment.
She smiled contemptuously again, "It seems that this is the first time you have been in this kind of place, and you think that the laws of your world can still protect you now?" ”
His words brought me back to my senses, yes, since I got on this train last night, I have been on my journey to the end of the world. This world is very different from the world I lived in for the past twenty years, there is no law, only the fist in my hand is the last word. No wonder Lan Kexin would prepare daggers and guns for me.
I pulled out all the medical supplies in my bag and put them in front of her, "Take whatever you see you need to use, I just need a bottle of water." ”
Peony looked at me, then at the bottles and cans on the ground, and finally she took two bottles of disinfectant, a roll of gauze, a box of dressings, and an antibiotic. Then handed me a bottle of water and a loaf of bread.
Then, she took off her torn coat, which was covered with a vest, and the shocking scar was clearly visible. "The water was given to you according to your request, and the bread was given to you to help me with the medicine."
Naturally, I wouldn't say no. Under her guidance, I cleaned her wound with antiseptic solution, applied the dressing, and finally wrapped it in gauze. After doing all this, she took out the antibiotic and injected herself.
At this time, Peony's face looked much better, at least she didn't have to worry about being infected by the wound. And I took out the food she had just given me and ate it.
The conditions in the truck compartment are very poor, not to mention any toilets, when the urge to urinate hits, I follow the example of other people, open the compartment door and solve it directly to the outside. Looking back at the carriage, except for the peony, it was all men. Suddenly, a strange feeling rose in my heart.
As I expected, after a while, Peony got up, and she looked around as if looking for something. Apparently the other men in the carriage understood her intentions, and a slight lewd smile appeared on their faces. Eventually, Peony saw a sunroof in the carriage behind, she opened the sunroof and climbed out deftly. The wound in her shoulder did not prevent her from moving at all. Also, after all, she is a person who can disappear without a trace in an instant by jumping from the seventh floor.
A moment later, Peony climbed back through the skylight. When passing by a certain man, the man showed an undisguised lewd smile, "Girl, why bother, it's a big deal, we just don't look at it, hahaha......"
Before the man finished speaking, Peony threw a roundabout kick on his face, and suddenly his front teeth and nosebleeds flew out...... There was silence in the carriage for an instant, and no one dared to look at Peony with teasing eyes.
Peony sat down and continued to sleep. I was a little apprehensive, pondered for a moment, and finally asked, "That...... Do you go to Tianbei City to do tasks to make money, or go home to visit relatives? "I don't know much about the technical terms of their profession, so I can only ask in this game-like phrase.
She glanced at me and said lightly, "Run." ”
Escape? Isn't that the same as me? "Someone is going to kill you? Aren't you mercenaries all paid to do things, who have you messed with? ”
Peony sighed, "It's okay to tell you now, I'm not a mercenary, I'm an assassin raised by the Huangcheng family." ”
I stared at her with wide eyes, shocked beyond measure.
"Are you...... Huangcheng family raised? Then you...... You, who sent you to kill me before? ”
"I'm a young owner, Huangcheng Yanyi."
After a brief silence, I seemed to finally figure out something. "Huh...... No wonder, no wonder you can appear in Wanhua City so easily. ”
"He is also the one who wants me to kill me now, and I guess it is because of your record of two misses, he decided to abandon me."
I shook my head, I hadn't gone to Katsuto at that time, and Hikoichi hadn't killed me. So what was the purpose of him sending Peony to kill me? Obviously, it wasn't really trying to kill me, it made me feel a sense of crisis! It makes me feel that only he, Hikochi Huangcheng, can protect me and make me huddle around him!
"Why did he send you to kill me, you know? Are you good at physical assassination, or something else? ”
Peony was thoughtful, she was not stupid, and she thought through it with a little brain, "What I'm good at is stealth assassination......"
I said, "Wanhua City is his territory, he really wants to kill me, he needs to send you?" Just put someone who is good at physical assassination. If I am really killed by you at that time, you will only die faster when you go back. ”
"Then why did I not go against his will...... Why did he still kill me? ”
"If I'm not mistaken, he suddenly sent someone to do it to you last night, right?"
"yes, do you know anything?"
"I had a falling out with him last night, and now he's the one who is chasing me. I guess he wants to kill you. ”
Peony's eyes dimmed instantly, and even a little painful, it was a feeling of collapsing faith.
After a long silence, she muttered, "I'm ...... for him So many things have been done, so many people have been killed...... Not to mention being treated as an outcast, you have to ...... Silenced. If I made a mistake or a mistake first, it was clear that I didn't do anything wrong, and it was all for his wishes...... Isn't there any reason for people living in a world like ours to talk about? ”
Why don't you have a world to talk about?
"Do you have any plans after you go to Tianbei City?" I asked.
"I don't know, I've always done what my family ordered. This route was only taken by chance when I was on a previous mission. At least, with my skills, in a three-way area like Tianbei City, I can't starve to death. ”
I was stunned for a moment, "Three regardless of the zone?" ”
"It's a place like Xunnan. There is no family in charge, there is no chamber of commerce to manage. Even because of its proximity to the border, the flow of people is complicated and the law and order is weak. The more chaotic the place, the more suitable it is for people like us. ”
it! I scolded fiercely in my heart, suitable for people like you are not suitable for a scholar like me! Lan Kexin, this chick is unreliable, did she deliberately fix me!
Seeing my-like expression, Peony actually laughed, "I almost forgot that you are a weak scholar." If you go there, there will be absolutely no bones left to eat. ”
"Ahem, I'm just going to change cars, and I'm going north."
"You're going to cross the border to Sabai?"
I nodded.
Peony thought for a moment and asked me, "Do you have any money on you?" ”
"Yes, what?"
"I'll try to help you find your way to Shabai, but you'll have to pay two smuggling fees, so take me too. I can be your bodyguard along the way. ”
"You don't have to rob it this time?"
"Smuggling is not something that can be lived with money, and there will be a lot of problems when the time comes, and I will definitely not be able to get by alone."
I smiled and responded, "No problem." By the way, I don't know your name yet. ”
"Chu Yuxing."
……
The next day, the train entered Tianbei City, and Peony and I jumped off the train at the beginning of the city. Peony means try not to enter the city, there are still a lot of Huangcheng eyeliner here. So we stayed at a dilapidated hotel on the outskirts of Tianbei City. Before leaving, Lan Kexin gave me a number, which was a secret mobile phone of hers, and she told me to call her after I left the border, otherwise it would be easy to be tracked.
I took a shower at the hotel to get rid of the cold and fatigue that had accumulated over the past two days, and in the evening Peony returned, armed with clothes and food. She said that she had contacted the 'coachman' to take us across the border tomorrow, after which a snake boat would take us into Shabai.
The next morning, we left the hotel and walked through Tianbei City to find the 'coachman' that Peony had contacted yesterday, and I also had the opportunity to see this legendary Tianbei City. When passing by the street corner, I saw a group of people chasing a person out with machetes, there were also pickpockets who were caught red-handed and pressed to the corner and beaten to death, and even a scantily clad girl pulling customers on the street early in the morning.
When I passed a grocery store, there were four or five young men gathered inside, looking outside with a hopeful guard of something, and at the same time secretly exchanging something in their hands. At first, I thought I was buying a pirated small yellow disc, but when I met the eyes of one of them, the rest of the men all looked at me with their eyes that could kill.
"Don't look!" The peony on the side reminded me.
I quickly withdrew my gaze, "Where are they?" ”
"In such a place, there will naturally be no shortage of 'powder' such things."
