Chapter 27: The Killer
In the deserted courtyard, a young man and a woman are facing each other.
"You're a liar!" Pei Bao'er instinctively retorted: "You said it yourself, isn't your wife already dead?" Could it be that the dead can be brought back to life? ”
"Why can't it be? Didn't the book you bought back a few days ago say that you borrowed the corpse to resurrect the soul? The man's expression was faint, but his eyes were very serious.
She choked at first, surprised that this man still knew the plot in the script, and took a deep breath to try to reason with him.
"Well, even if that were the case, I really didn't know you. If your wife borrows someone else's, uh, body to restore the soul, then the soul will definitely not forget you. ”
Qi Heng quickly answered: "I didn't say that she borrowed your body to return her soul." ”
Pei Bao'er was a little puzzled, she asked again, but the other party refused to explain: "You just need to know that I can be 100% sure that you are the person I am looking for." ”
She rolled her eyes impatiently, "But I'm already married, and I have a husband, you can't forcibly break up the marriage, right?" ”
Hearing this, Qi Heng showed his first smile of the day, and seemed to be a little mocking: "Husband? You said that little white face who spreads on the floor every day? As she spoke, her voice lowered, as if she was muttering about some kid and some luck, and seemed to be complaining about her meddling.
Pei Baoer didn't understand why she was nosy again, obviously she didn't bother to deal with it except for people related to her own interests. When she heard the three words of laying on the floor, she was even more helpless. Well, this intelligence chief's nose is really long enough, and even this has been investigated.
She was determined to throw a thunderbolt to scare the surnamed Qi: "Cough, I won't tell you, actually, I don't know what happened to your wife who died of Xiangxiaoyu, but I myself borrowed the corpse to resurrect the soul." I originally lived in a different era, can you understand, for example, you sleep today, and tomorrow you wake up and find yourself in the former dynasty, the country called Great Xia, and then you become a different person, and your appearance may be completely different, probably that is the feeling. ”
Seeing that he didn't react, she added fuel to the fire: "Don't you wonder why I can toss those weird fat powders?" Those are all very common things in our original era, and they are relatively advanced in technology. Also, the tangram and flying chess in your store, as well as the spider cards, are all ...... Uh, are you really listening? ”
Qi Heng withdrew his gaze from behind her, and his smile softened.
"I understand what you're saying. But what does this have to do with me? "There seems to be a little more innocence in his eyes, and his face is even more lonely." I'm just trying to get you back. ”
Pei Bao'er stroked her forehead gloomily, determined to skip the sensitive topic.
She blinked, "But, wouldn't normal people be scared when they hear this?" "Most of the traversers keep secrets alive and dead, just for fear of being burned as evil spirits." Moreover, the owner of this body you are looking for has also died. At this point, she suddenly thought of an even more terrifying possibility.
"Could it be, I borrowed the corpse to return the soul and borrowed it from her, right?" She stared at him with a pair of almond eyes and asked him angrily, "Wow, you are just a scumbag, she went to the temple alone with a big belly to give birth, and she was still difficult to give birth, where were you at that time?" Now it's a look of deep love! ”
Qi Heng expressed his surprise at the second half of her sentence: "Your imagination is rich, but it's not like that. Seeing that she was about to refute, he patiently explained two more sentences: "She went at the beginning of the first year of Chengping." After that, he stared at her intently, and there seemed to be joy in his eyes that he had regained.
However, Pei Baoer felt very frightened.
borrowed the corpse to return the soul, the lady he was looking for was neither the "corpse" nor the "soul", how did he identify himself?
Could it be that some kind of cheating fortune teller saw him reminiscing about his wife and grieved excessively, and lied to him that a certain woman he saw in a certain place on a certain day and in a certain year was the reincarnation of his wife? But, she is already old, it is now December of the third year of Chengping, she came through at the end of the first year of Chengping, and the original owner of this body was still alive and kicking at the beginning of that year, how could it be!
She had some sympathy for the infatuated man who was likely to have been deceived, took a glance at this unpopular courtyard, and suppressed the idea of "telling him that it was wrong to trespass on the house", and saw that he was not as crazy as he was today, and he could still communicate normally, so she struck the iron while it was hot, picked up and asked urgently: "By the way, where did all those things in your store come from?" Can you tell me who made it? "I think he might be my countryman," she asked tentatively. ”
Unexpectedly, he only raised his eyebrows, and threw out a heartbreaking sentence: "Oh, that strange man has also passed away." But you're right, you should be considered fellow villagers. ”
This person's calmness about the crossing made Pei Baoer unbelievable: "You still know him?" ”
Actually, she was quite curious about what earth-shattering things that fellow townsman had done after passing through, but after thinking about it, she still didn't ask, anyway, everyone was dead, and she couldn't say that she had passed through the next hundred and eighty years earlier than herself. It's not cost-effective to ask more and entangle with him more!
Suddenly, Pei Bao'er felt as if there was an exceptionally cold wind above her head, and as soon as she shrunk her neck, she saw the man's face change, his left hand grabbed her arm through the cloak, and his right hand pulled out a thin sword at some time and from nowhere.
"You, what are you ......" Before she could finish speaking, her eyes widened in surprise.
What happened to the dozen or so men in black who jumped from the four walls?
Who were the five or six strong men in the room who were moving with swords and even crossbows?
Are they running into a fight with the underworld? If so, shouldn't they have withdrawn and left the battlefield on either side of them?
Could it be, this surnamed Qi is in the same group as these strong men, and he happens to have a grudge against these black-clothed people, or because of issues such as dividing territory, right?
Pei Bao'er was full of questions, but she had nowhere to complain, so she could only dodge with Qi Heng's movements, and by the way, she was distracted and admired in a dangerous and dangerous situation, this seemingly thin and pale man waved the thin sword like a spirit snake, and could always save her from the sword at a critical moment.
Under the shadow of the sword, the snowflakes falling in the sky seemed to become larger, and a thin layer quickly accumulated on the ground.
Hmm~ It seems that the surname Qi really seems to be in the same group as these strong men, because he is helping them fight against the men in black.
Pei Bao'er was suddenly a little frightened, the identity of his suspected killer that she casually guessed before would not come true from the crow's mouth, right?
Oh, no! Wait, why do these strong men look a little familiar, especially the little young man with thick eyebrows and small eyes, she always feels like she has seen them.
Pei Baoer racked her brains and thought about it for a while, and finally her eyes widened and she remembered.
Is it him?
"You, you're actually the one who went to history?"
The bastard Yushi who didn't see her face through the car curtain, worshiped her, and didn't help her overturn the case in the end?
Pei Bao'er's eyes almost burst into flames.
Qi Heng was originally dealing with a lone man in black, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but be distracted. It was indeed his fault, and he didn't recognize her at first, which almost helped him. He quickly held back a sentence "I'll explain to you later", wanting to appease Pei Bao'er first, not wanting to be just like that, another man in black took advantage of the situation and went straight towards his vest with a sharp sword.
"Master! Watch out! ”
Because he pulled Pei Bao'er's left arm, he took her into his arms for a while, and stretched out his long arm to take her out, which happened to be the latter's state at this time, so that she actually discovered the danger behind him 0.1 seconds earlier than the reminder.
In those 0.1 seconds, Pei Baoer felt that her brain had never turned so fast.
In this case, only the characters of the stupid fork and the bloody romance drama will be stupid to block the sword for others, with that kind of kung fu, can't you just push people away and knock them down?
As a human with a normal IQ, Pei Baoer directly hugged his waist with her backhand and pushed him in the other direction with her breastfeeding strength.
When Qi Heng heard that reminder, he was ready to dodge and fight back. It's just that his plan and Pei Baoer's plan don't seem to be very consistent, especially in the direction of dodging, the two of them are left and right, and the resistance to each other has greatly dragged them back. In the end, Pei Baoer had a slight advantage, because Qi Heng didn't expect her to help, and she didn't expect her petite body (wrapped like a bear) to burst out with such a great power, and she could actually lead him away!
So, under Pei Bao'er's gravitational acceleration, the two of them staggered towards the corner of the courtyard and fell down, dodging the fatal blow with great difficulty.
The big man who had just spoken out to remind him had already rushed over and fought with the man in black, temporarily entangled him, and gave Pei Baoer and Qi Heng, who had almost fallen to the ground, a precious opportunity to breathe.
To be honest, this posture of falling to the ground is slightly awkward.
Because Qi Heng was almost half-kneeling on the ground, he could only rely on the sword in his right hand to insert himself into the ground to maintain his balance. And Pei Baoer was holding his waist tightly, and the two of them happened to be facing each other. It's not appropriate to say that, it should be said that Pei Bao'er's face is face to face with the monster embroidered on his belt.
Well, she was worried about bumping into Qi Heng but sending herself to the tip of the sword, so she kept holding him and didn't dare to let go, and tried to keep herself closer to him. Even so, she could still feel a cold chill passing by her just now, and how dangerous it was to be separated by such a thick cloak and padded jacket! It's just that I didn't expect to be hit by myself so godly, and Qi Heng, who was originally facing him on the side, was stunned by her and changed directions.
It was only at this time that Pei Bao'er's tightly closed eyes finally dared to open.
Very good, there is no pain on the body, which means that the sword did not pierce me, and I passed the test safely!
It's just that what is this cute little cutie in front of you who looks like a dragon and a dog? Where is she holding him?
After figuring out this question, Pei Baoer instantly came to her senses, and immediately jumped away a meter away like a spring.
"Ahem, it was really thrilling just now~" She snorted awkwardly, and then unresponsively cared: "Are you okay?" Didn't get hurt, did you? ”
Qi Heng slowly stood up straight with his sword, but did not answer her words, and set his eyes on the "battlefield" not far away, his eyes moved slightly, and it seemed that a storm was secretly brewing inside.
Pei Baoer was bored with herself, shrank back, and also looked at it.
I saw that the originally empty courtyard was full of blood at the moment, and there were several people lying on the ground, all of whom were people in black without exception. Among the remaining living people on the field at this moment, counting the two of them playing soy sauce, the two sides are evenly matched. However, even Pei Bao'er, who doesn't understand martial arts, can see from the results that the skills of these black-clothed killers seem to be average, and the quality may be inversely proportional to the quantity. They had already lost nearly half of their manpower, and the strong man here was only hanging some colors, and one of the slender yellow-faced men was seriously injured, but he could still support his teammates to contain the man in black.
"Tsk, they're all your subordinates, aren't they? It's pretty powerful~" She praised it sincerely, not wanting Qi Heng to snort coldly in her heart, there are two people lying on the ground who are through my hands, how can I only know how to praise others!
Pei Bao'er asked again: "That, aren't you going to help?" ”
Qi Heng turned his head and glanced at her strangely, seeing that she was a little hairy, and then said lightly, "No, they can solve it."
"Oh." Pei Bao'er nodded, "Then do you mind sending me out first?" She pointed to the courtyard wall, "Just take me out and just do it in one go, soon." I'll just go home by myself and you can continue to watch......"
The man's voice became a little gnashing.
"Mind that! Mind it so much! ”
Pei Bao'er pouted aggrievedly, feeling that she was really unlucky to provoke such a plague god. How can I say that I don't think of myself as his dead wife? She only likes to make money, eat fragrant and drink spicy food, and she is not interested in this kind of plot of swords and swords, flesh and blood!
Qi Heng's heart was turbulent, but there were no waves on his face, only the hand that was clenching the hilt of the sword and almost green tendons leaked a trace of emotion.
This damn little woman is as conscienceless as ever!
