Chapter Seventy-Three: Kiyoki Michicho III
Wang Xiaoci sneaked into the door, the vermilion door did not have a latch, it seemed that the door was specially reserved for someone, it seemed to be closed tightly but it could be pushed open with a slight force.
β¦β¦ Behind the door was darkness, not a single light was on in the small gray building, and the crickets were constantly heard from the surrounding corners, which looked particularly weak on this rare rainy day.
"This way!" At this moment, a voice came from the side.
Wang Xiaoxi shuddered and retracted his head halfway, but after remembering the owner of the voice, he had the courage to look in that direction.
"Shopkeeper May?" He asked cautiously.
There was a sound of soft footsteps beside him, and a figure in a black robe gradually appeared in his field of vision.
"It's me." The man approached and removed the hat from his head, revealing a somewhat emaciated face.
It was Mei Mingzi who provided Wang Xiaoxi with the news and asked him to find this rune paper!
"Shopkeeper Mei, I'll ......" Wang Xiaoli saw that he was really the shopkeeper Mei, and he was suddenly a little excited in his heart, and he just wanted to say something but was immediately interrupted.
Mei Mingzi made a silent gesture to him, walked up to him and pulled him into the door, then looked out left and right, closed the door, and plugged in the latch.
"Let's go inside!" He leaned into Wang Xiaoxi's ear and whispered, then put on the hat and walked towards Xiaolou without looking back.
Wang Xiaoxi hurriedly followed, although his face was still a little uneasy, but compared to the fear along the way, he was much better now.
This small building is a house built by Luojiazhuang many years ago, and it is actually two or three times larger than ordinary civilian houses, and it does not have a multi-storey structure like those mansions in Luojiazhang Center, just a single floor.
However, the neat stone slabs on the floor and the several separate rooms alone were enough to distinguish the people who lived here from the common people.
The two walked all the way into the house, closed the door, and the shopkeeper turned around and lowered a thick curtain, and then took out a fire fold from his bosom and lit the kerosene lamp on the table.
Wang Xiaoxi looked around, only to find that the four parts of the house had been covered with a thick black cloth, and even if the lights were lit inside, nothing could be seen outside.
"It is worthy of being the shopkeeper of Mei, thinking about things is more thoughtful than yourself!" He secretly praised in his heart, and when he thought of his previous hasty arrangement, he felt that he was so tender.
The room where the corpse was placed would be discovered soon, and if the guards were really ruthless in their investigation, it would probably not be long before they could catch him!
"You must leave Locke's Village tonight!" He licked his parched lips and secretly made up his mind in his heart.
When he looked up, he found that the shopkeeper Mei was looking at him with a playful expression.
"Think about it again, little brother Wang......" He picked up a teapot on the table and filled the two tea bowls that had been prepared.
"Come for a cup of tea and crush the shock!"
He obviously knew what was going on when he saw the blood stains on Wang Xiaoci's body, and at this time he pushed the tea bowl in front of Wang Xiaoci, and the smile on his face was like a fox.
Wang Xiaoci sat down immediately, a little restrained but not as uneasy as ordinary people, probably because his thinking had changed unconsciously after killing someone, but he himself did not notice it.
Shopkeeper Mei waited for him to sit down before holding the tea bowl in both hands and said to him: "Today's big event, I can't drink, I hope that little brother Wang won't mind." β
Wang Xiaoxi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's okay......
As he spoke, he also picked up the tea bowl and looked at the plum shopkeeper, and learned the movements well.
Shopkeeper Mei nodded with a smile and continued: "But Mei still wants to congratulate Little Brother Wang on successfully obtaining this immortal treasure!" Let's replace wine with tea, come, let's do this bowl first! β
After speaking, he raised his head and drank a bowl of tea, and after drinking, he turned the bowl upside down very proudly, indicating that there was no tea in the bowl.
When Wang Xiaoxi saw his actions, an inexplicable pride gushed out in his heart, and without saying a word, he drank the bowl with a bowl, then put the bowl heavily on the table and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
"Shopkeeper Mei doesn't have to be polite! My Wang Xiaoci can make this windfall today, and it all depends on the Mei shopkeeper, you ......" It is said that wine is strong and courageous, and Wang Xiaoci feels a lot more courageous after this bowl of tea.
"I must thank you for today......" he said as he poured himself a bowl of tea and drank it again.
Shopkeeper Mei looked at him with a smile, did not pour himself tea, and did not speak.
Wang Xiaoxi didn't feel anything wrong, and continued to talk about the gratitude from his heart, as if as long as he said these gratitudes, which were not very strong in the first place, the fear and apprehension in his heart would be less.
"I didn't do it voluntarily, it was the man in front of me who made me do it!" He made an excuse for himself in his heart, and the gratitude in his mouth became smoother and more fluent, and with the bowl of tea, it seemed to ...... Is it really a lot easier?
Thereupon......
Not long after, Wang Xiaoci lay on the table softly, his two eyes opened reluctantly, and his eyes were full of the same shock as the big brother Niu who was killed by him before.
But he is obviously even worse than Brother Zhiniu, because he can't speak or move, but he is still conscious, which brings him great fear!
He had already guessed what was going to happen next, and there was a look of begging for mercy and fear in his eyes.
"I know you want to ask why." Mei Mingzi poured himself a bowl of tea and drank it slowly, not looking at Wang Xiaoci, although he still had a smile on his face, he no longer had the gentleness he had before, and now what hung on his face was a satisfied smile of catching prey, and behind that smug expression was an unconcealable killing intent!
"Of course I'm doing it for the money!" He explained to Wang Xiaoci unhurriedly, and his tone was not slow or hurried: "I remember I told you, kill your big brother Niu, we will be six or four points, you see, now I can take all of you and I can take all of them......"
"I thought you would be more vigilant when you killed your big brother Niu, but I didn't expect you to be so naΓ―ve and waste a lot of money in vain......"
As he spoke, he clapped his hands with the corners of his mouth and said, "Come out." β
The black cloth behind him moved, and out of it came a man dressed in black, with short hair, who looked ordinary, but his figure was very sturdy at first glance.
"That's it?" After the man walked out, he glanced at Wang Xiaoci lying on the table, and said in his hard voice.
"It's over." Shopkeeper Mei nodded leisurely, but the smugness in his eyes could not be concealed, and he seemed to be extremely satisfied with his methods.
"Oh." The man behind him nodded, then walked up and slashed Mei Mingzi's throat with a knife......
