Chapter IV: Counter-Killing
And in this world
Without those weapons that could take people's heads from a distance of kilometers, Su Wu only needed to guard against the threats around him. In fact, she just went to the weapon store to buy a crossbow or a short bow, but suddenly it occurred to her that in the memory of the original owner, the bow and crossbow belonged to controlled weapons in this world.
That thing is like a firearm from a previous life, it is absolutely contraband. Close quarter-range weapons such as knives, guns, swords, and halberds are not within this limit.
In fact, as she remembered, there were no crossbows in the weapons shop. When I was in a daze, the dishes were already coming up; A white jade tofu soup, a green pepper shredded pork, a tomato scrambled egg, and a bowl of white rice.
Su Wu's index finger moved, and after retiring from Xiao Er, he picked up the chopsticks and ate wildly. She had been hungry for days, and in the morning and at noon she had eaten sweet potatoes from the ground.
Where can that thing withstand consumption, it's already hungry at this point. Three times and five divided by two, more than half of the plates of dishes were wiped out, and the white rice in the bowl was also eaten.
However, I found that Xiao Er on the table did not use a wooden steamed rice to put next to it like in the restaurant in his previous life, so he just gave a bowl of rice?
Su Wu suddenly got angry and didn't come out, how did this ancient hotel do the service? Now that Xiao Er has also gone downstairs, is she going to shout loudly upstairs to the downstairs to bring me a bowl of rice?
Su Wu took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger in his chest, and buried himself in eating all the dishes, which could be regarded as full, which dissipated his anger a little.
In fact, what she doesn't know is that in this world, a young lady like her is sent by car when she goes out, and she doesn't need to do any work at home, and she doesn't eat much to keep in shape.
A bowl of rice is enough, but I don't know if she crossed over and brought the amount of food from her previous life with her, or because she was hungry for several days, a bowl of rice was not enough to eat at all.
Fortunately, the amount of dishes was quite sufficient, Su Wu finished eating, rested for a while, and was about to leave, when Xiao Er came upstairs with a smile on his face.
There is a square plate in his hand, which is to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and there is a pot of tea on the square plate.
After putting down the square plate, Xiao Er skillfully poured a cup for Su Wu, and then said apologetically: "The guest officer is late, the tea in our store is cold, I didn't have time to prepare, I hope you will forgive me." Don't know if the food is still to your liking? ”
When Su Wu heard this, her originally unhappy mood was slightly better. The stiff little face also stretched out a smile: "Well, it's not bad." ”
"Oh, that's good, that's good, please have tea." The little second brother breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly served the tea diligently.
Su Wu took the teacup, and when the little second brother cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and was about to leave, he asked seemingly casually, "But are there any guests?" ”
The little second brother stopped, turned around and said, "Guest officer, you are the last one today." ”
Su Wu nodded, and the little second brother turned around and left.
She let out a long sigh of relief, and it seemed that she had indeed gotten rid of her stalker. Drank two cups of tea before going downstairs to check out and leave.
Walking out of the restaurant, Su Wu immediately merged into the flow of people, and then continued to walk slowly towards the north side of the street, walking for about four or five minutes, feeling almost done, she turned around and entered an inn.
The name of the inn is Tongfu Inn, which is a blue brick and wooden frame structure, and the reason why Su Wu chose this inn is because she doesn't want the creaking sound when someone walks in the corridor to affect her judgment.
She needs to judge by the footsteps of pedestrians whether someone is approaching her room to her detriment. Moreover, the brick structure is also conducive to her hiding at night, and she gets out of bed to ambush when she notices someone approaching.
The solid ground, if you take your steps lightly and step on the floor, you won't make a sound, after all, she is not Li San, a silent swallow on the ground. This is the lesson of Su Wu's blood that has been difficult to achieve through several life and death tribulations.
Entering the inn, Su Wu came to the front desk, and the gray-haired old shopkeeper said happily: "The guest officer wants to stay in the hotel?" Each room in our store is made of green bricks, the doors and windows are very strong, the structure is also very strong, it is very safe to live in, and there is a built-in dressing room, you don't have to go out at night, you are not afraid of thieves. ”
Su Wu couldn't help laughing, this old man was shrewd, especially knew how to grasp the psychology of customers, and directly used three very to emphasize the safety of his inn. Isn't it safe for female customers to stay outside the hotel, if it's not safe, who dares to live.
In this era, the flower thieves are not talking about it, and the nocturnal thieves like to patronize the single women who live in the hotel, because these people are usually equated with fat sheep.
Therefore, for the sake of insurance, Su Wu decided to open two rooms, and she said to the old shopkeeper: "Open two rooms for me, one on the second floor and one on the third floor, both of which are Tianzi rooms." ”
The old shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, but he was only stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Okay, no problem." ”
Of course, there is no problem, a night in a Tianzi room is 5 yuan silver, and two rooms are 1 tael. There are not many people who are willing to spend this money, since the guest is willing to pay, whatever.
Su Wu didn't want to be wronged, but for the sake of his own life. After paying for the room and taking the key, Su Wu didn't let the little guy lead the way, but went upstairs by herself.
She first went to the Tianzi room on the second floor, put down the package, and then took a shower here and changed her clothes. She sat by the window and drank tea, and as she drank tea, she drew a dagger, cut three-quarters of the burning candle, and put the excess in her pocket. Putting the top half back into the candlestick, she quietly exited the room.
I went up to the third floor, and I didn't light the light, and after entering the room, I locked the door and went straight to bed and lay down. However, she still did not sleep, and after lying down for less than ten minutes, she quietly got up and went to another unoccupied room. Poke the lock open, enter this room, and then sleep with peace of mind.
There was nothing to do all night, and when Su Wu woke up, it was already three poles in the morning, and she almost didn't die of exhaustion that day. Originally, she didn't dare to fall asleep, but she resisted until half past one in the morning, and she really couldn't bear it and fell asleep.
Fortunately, it was fine, but when she went to the room on the third floor and the room on the second floor that she had booked before and saw the scene inside, she was shocked into a cold sweat.
Her disguised quilt was thrown on the ground, and the only closet that could hide people was opened. After Su Wu calmed down, she was very glad that she had made a wise move yesterday, otherwise she didn't know what would have happened.
The shopkeeper also said that their inn was very safe, and Su Wu could only be hehe, the so-called security could also prevent the gentleman, but it couldn't prevent the villain at all.
She knew this very well, after a night's rest, Su Wu's mental state was much better, she packed her luggage, came to the restaurant to buy dry food, and she was ready to continue running.
Passing by yesterday's blacksmith shop, she saw a lot of quicklime for molten steel made next to the furnace in the blacksmith's shop, so she asked for a small bag by the way.
After yesterday's horse sale, there will definitely be a lot of people who pay attention to her, after all, anyone who sees a girl in a wedding dress running around will be curious.
I changed my clothes today, and it was not the one I changed in the cloth village yesterday, but another set. Out of the blacksmith shop, Su Wu called a carriage and went out of the city directly. She had to go to the dock outside the city to take a boat to Jiaxing, but after getting on the bus and leaving the city, she always felt a little uneasy.
This world is not the earth where she was in her previous life, but the place name is exactly the same. It's just that many areas still use ancient names, and places like Jiaxing are the same.
She is going to Jiaxing now, originally on the earth had to take the land route, there is no waterway passenger ship traffic, but this world has it, and it is a very wide waterway.
There is a very wide waterway from Jiangning to Xifu, which is a big river called Yongning River, and the wharf is on the riverside about 5 miles west of Louyi City.
The coachman drove the carriage and walked on the official road where the cold dew was getting thicker, and from time to time he picked up the wine jug and took a sip to dispel the cold, but he didn't know that the guests in the car had long since disappeared.
Just as the carriage passed through a wooded field, and the coachman was about to take another sip of the jug, suddenly an arrow pierced his throat.
The coachman made a few sounds in his throat, and blood flowed out of his mouth and stained the placket red. He collapsed weakly in the carriage and struggled a few times, then stopped moving.
Just as the coachman was dying, a black-clad and masked figure flashed out of the jungle on the side, and opened the curtain with a knife, only to find it empty.
The man scolded angrily: "Made, let her run away again, this chick is so slippery." ”
On the other side, Su Wu was trotting all the way through the jungle, following the general direction of where the dock was located, she didn't dare to run fast, she had to leave enough physical strength to deal with any situation that might happen.
She had been faintly uneasy in her heart, so, not long after getting into the carriage, when she passed a low cliff, she jumped from the back of the carriage, and then ran away from the low cliff.
She didn't know what the result would be for the coachman, but she had already paid him, and what happened to him could be regarded as his fate.
Suddenly, just when she was a little worried about her conscience, a sneer that was a little broken because of violent wheezing sounded not far in front of her: "Made, stinky girl, you can really run, you almost didn't exhaust Lao Tzu to death." ”
Su Wu's hair stood on end, and almost subconsciously touched her waist with her hand, but after reacting, she stopped her movements abruptly, and couldn't let the other party know that she had a weapon.
Now she has to show weakness, this is a situation she had expected a long time ago, but she didn't expect the other party to really chase after her, but it has happened, and she can only face it.
She took several deep breaths and looked in the direction where the voice came from, where there was a thin man dressed in black and masked, she suppressed the fear in her heart and asked, "Who are you, why are you chasing after me?" ”
The man seemed a little surprised, he looked Su Wu up and down: "Well, it is indeed a rare beauty, he will definitely like it, are you obediently bound or let Lao Tzu do it?" ”
Su Wu sneered, turned around and ran, the man sneered when he saw this: "Can you run away?" ”
As he spoke, he stood up straight, kicked his legs on the bluestone, and jumped three or four meters away, like a predatory cheetah. Where could Su Wu's speed be comparable to him? In just two or three breaths, the man had already jumped behind Su Wu.
The man sneered and reached out to grab Su Wu's shoulder. However, at this moment, Su Wu, who was originally running wildly, suddenly turned around, and a handful of lime powder in his hand was sprinkled on the man's head and face.
The man was shocked when he saw this, and he wanted to dodge but it was too late, so he hurriedly withdrew his hand to cover it, but he was still a step too late, and he was immediately sprinkled with a face.
The quicklime sprinkled into the eyes, moistened by the tears, immediately reacted, and the violent heat almost blinded the man's eyes in an instant.
The man screamed miserably, and subconsciously reached out to rub his eyes. When Su Wu saw that it worked, he immediately threw the package to the ground. Pulled out the dagger on his waist, quickly circled behind the man, the dagger flew over, and instantly stabbed the man's waist and kidney twice.
Just when the man was in pain and came to grab with his backhand, Su Wu hurriedly returned to block, but he didn't think that the other party's strength was too great, and he was immediately knocked to the ground. Su Wuzhi felt that her arms were almost broken by the other party's slap, and the severe pain made her unable to hold the dagger, and the two daggers flew out directly, and she couldn't help but let out a scream.
But fortunately, the other party had been stabbed to the point, and at this time, he was unable to stand because of the severe pain, and fell to the ground, moaning in pain.
Su Wu didn't dare to get too close to the other party, she hurriedly got up from the ground with her hands and feet, and ran to a distance of more than ten meters from the other party before stopping. Waiting for the sharp pain in her arm to subside, she picked up the dagger again and stepped forward to mend the knife.
Although the man was very powerful and seemed to be able to do martial arts, he was stabbed through the kidney by Su Wu, and his eyes were hit with quicklime. At this time, the eyes could not see, the body could not move, and the ground was lying on the ground groaning in pain.
Hearing Su Wu approaching, he knew that his time for death had come, but he smiled: "I really didn't expect it, I, Tang San, have killed countless people in my life, and in the end, I will be planted in the hands of a little girl." ”
"Well, you are indeed very powerful, with so much strength and speed, that is, you read less books." Su Wu rubbed his arm that was still aching faintly, and slowly stepped forward.
The man laughed miserably: "What do you say? ”
Su Wu endured the sharp pain on his arm and sneered: "In the rivers and lakes, there are three kinds of people that cannot be despised by the elderly, one is a woman, and the other is a child, which should be in the books, and I am a woman, and I am still a child, you died unjustly." ”
After speaking, she first knocked off the other party's arm, which seemed to be unable to be raised, with a stick, completely abolished, and then cut the man's throat.
She didn't turn to leave, but watched the other party die indifferently and cautiously, and then began to touch the corpse with confidence.
