The man looked at me and Peony, frowned, and asked, "You made the noise in the woods just now?" ”

I patted Peony to signal her to relax, and replied, "My girlfriend and I came here for a tour, but we didn't expect to meet gangsters in the woods." ”

"Tourism?" The man suddenly laughed, "Don't think I'm a liar, don't you just want to smuggle to Shabai." ”

I looked around him, dressed modestly, with a hunting rifle, and I knew that smuggling was rife here, probably a local hunter.

"Uncle, I won't tell you that we really want to try our luck in Shabai. If you can take us to this nearby port, we can pay for it! As I spoke, I pulled out twenty or so bills from my bag and held them up to him.

The man hesitated, but stepped forward to take it. In fact, what I am most afraid of now is that he suddenly attacks us when he sees that we have money, and this murderous and oversold in the wilderness is very suitable. Apparently Peony also thought of this, her eyes were firmly fixed on the man, her hand kept in the pocket of the chest of her jacket, and her body was tense.

The man flipped the money in his hand and said to me, "Give me so much more, I can help you introduce people to snakes." ”

I feigned hesitation for a moment, and finally pretended to be embarrassed and agreed, "Yes, but I won't give it to you right now." "Although I don't care about the money, I know the truth that money is not exposed. If I let him know that I have a huge amount of money on me, it is hard to guarantee that he will also become a murderer who was only thinking about trading.

The man nodded, "Come with me." ”

Along the river, Peony and I followed the man for about ten minutes, and a clay tile house appeared in our field of vision. The man said that it would take half a day to walk to the nearest port here, and it was too late today, so let's rest at his house for the night. I couldn't help but be vigilant again.

When we entered the house, an old woman of the same age as the man looked at us in amazement, probably his wife.

"Why are you bringing guests back?" Then she saw the wounds on our bodies, and her brow furrowed.

"It's a cold day, and it's not easy to make some money. I'll take them to the dock early tomorrow morning. As he spoke, he handed his wife the money I had just given him. The old woman softened a little after taking it, and brought out food for us.

We were accommodated in a room next to us, which was said to be the couple's son, who was making a living in the city. Peony leaned against the wall, always holding the gun in his hand. I took a nap and woke up feeling a little swollen and my body was starting to heat up. My physical fitness is already very good in normal times, I have hardly been sick since I was a child, and I rarely have colds and fevers. But the experience of these two days was clearly beyond what I could bear.

When I woke up the next day, I was sweating profusely and weak. There was a pneumatic sound outside the house, and Uncle Orion had borrowed a three-wheeled motorcycle somewhere, but fortunately I didn't have to walk on my own.

We drove along the river bank for about twenty minutes and saw a small pier. Even if it's small, it's not small as far as I know. On the way, Peony asked the man if there was a clinic here, and we all breathed a sigh of relief after receiving an affirmative answer. Before parting, the uncle gave us a note with the contact information of a human snake.

"Actually, my other job is to connect people like you," the man said after taking the rest of the money, "I also see that you are not an ordinary person, I am afraid that you have not let go of the guy in your hand since last night." ”

Peony was stunned, and then a little embarrassed.

I helped to play the round and said, "It's better to be careful when you go out, but fortunately, we have a good time working together, right, uncle." ”

The man grinned and gave a deep smile.

Looking at his distant back, I said to the peony on the side, "It's good that you are here, otherwise we would have been eaten by this old man last night." ”

Peony looked at me a little puzzled.

"He came out of the woods with the hounds, the same direction we came, and must have seen the bodies of the three groups in the woods. If it weren't for you, I guess he would have attacked us last night. ”

"Why did you take us in if you knew we were such dangerous people?"

"I'm afraid, they're not having a good time here......"

……

Next, Peony and I rested in the clinic for two days, and the price of the consultation fee was also outrageous. Such places are all gathering places for lawbreakers, outsiders? You didn't negotiate. Fortunately, the medicine was still useful, and I had no fever after the antibiotic injection. The wound was stitched up, the dressing was changed, and two days later, Peony and I went to find the local snake here.

"The first and final payments are 50,000 people each." The boat boss looked at me and Peony and said.

My heart sank for a moment, and now that Peony and I didn't have enough cash, I asked, "Is it okay for me to pay the balance in Shabai currency?" ”

The captain of the boat said that there was no problem without even thinking about it. Then I paid and got on the boat with Peony. It's a sediment cargo ship, and the cabin of us stowaways is in the storage compartment at the bottom. After that, a lot of people, both men and women, almost all young people, finally crowded nearly fifty people before they set off.

I looked around and there was only one vent. Fortunately, it's winter, and the heat here in summer is definitely not something ordinary people can bear.

I've looked at the map and the route, and it takes almost two days to get from the Guna River to the East China Sea, and about four days to get from the East Sea to the port of Velon.

"Have you been to Port Veron before?" Anyway, if you're idle, you're idle, so I'll talk to Peony.

"No, the power of the Huangcheng family is only in the country, so as long as we go out of the border, we will be safe."

"Why do you seem to yearn for that side?"

"The port of Velun is also called the port of eternal night, where the sun does not shine. Got it? ”

The corners of my mouth twitched, it turned out to be a place of lawlessness! But...... As long as Huang Cheng's hand can't reach out, it shouldn't be a big problem to stay there for a few days and wait for Lan Kexin to pick him up.

Then I asked, "If you are so good, why didn't you succeed in two face-to-face fights with me?" ”

Who knew that Peony's face turned red and seemed to be a little annoyed, "Originally, for the first time, according to my own method, you will definitely die." But I don't know why before leaving, Hikoichi taught me the technique of 'poisoning'. This technique is generally not taught to the raised assassins, and it is a self-preservation ploy for the sons of the family. He said you might as well let me try it on you, and the result was ...... How did you know I was putting something on my lips? Didn't you say you were an ordinary person? ”

"I'm really sorry, just two days before I met you, I was cheated by a daughter of a family...... It's the same way you did. ”

Peony thoughtfully, "It turns out ...... Hikoichi did it on purpose. ”

"And then?"

"In the field I am good at, as long as I appear in front of the target, the advantage is less than ninety, and I estimate that I am at most comparable to one or two mercenaries in normal physical hand-to-hand combat, and I generally can't use firearms in domestic assassination. The second time is purely your luck......" said Peony's expression was strange again.

"Ahem......" I coughed twice in embarrassment, and digressed the topic, "How good are your hidden skills?" ”

Peony glanced at me and said meaningfully, "We have been together for so many days, and sometimes we will be very close, and even before in the hotel and clinic, we were in the same room at night, what do you think of my body?" ”

Peony's words reminded me, and then I looked at her in shock, and even had a creepy feeling. Everyone will have a specific smell on their body, the smell of sweat, the smell of camphor from clothes, the smell of perfume, the smell of smoke, the smell of shampoo...... Even the body fragrance of girls is made of these mixtures. But there is no smell on the peony at all! She was like a phantom, and if she was hidden in the dark, absolutely no one would be able to detect her presence.

Immediately, her expression became unhappy again, "So do you know how much effort I spent that day to get rid of the stench on my body!" ”

"I was wrong, sister ......"

……

Two days later we arrived at the mouth of the East China Sea, and shortly thereafter the captain sent us out of the cabin. Everyone was a little puzzled, but they didn't want to ask too much. Walking up to the deck, I felt the harsh light, and it took me a while to get used to it. Looking closely, the cargo ship we were on had docked with a fishing boat, and it turned out that the vibration just now was caused by docking.

The boat boss pointed to the fishing boat opposite, "They will take you to Port Velon." ”
