Chapter 8: Being in the Mountains

In the cave life of Yang Ming and Little Snow Girl, time passed quickly, and when a bear was eaten more than half, the snow in Taihang Mountain almost melted seventy or eighty percent.

Although there is still snow on the high grounds, the trails that are often walked by people in the mountains are already pedestrians.

Yang Ming, who took the Snow Girl back on his journey, went straight to the north after identifying the direction, preparing to enter the northern border of Zhao through Jingcheng Pass and send the Snow Girl to Li Mu in Yanmen County.

As for why Yang Ming didn't go directly to the Fukou Pass to enter the Qin State, he had to give up that choice.

The Qin State is too strict with the investigation of strangers, and once you enter the Qin State, you may not have taken action yet, and you may have been arrested by the Qin State and enjoy the package of food and accommodation.

When passing by close to the caliber of Fu, Yang Ming saw the head hanging above the city pass from a distance, and only a vague outline could be seen because the appearance was too far away, but the gray hair pointed it to a person.

Looking at the human head whose blood had condensed into ice, Yang Ming was speechless for a while, and then took the Snow Girl straight south.

On the way, he met an old man and a young hunter who had returned from hunting, and between three words, Yang Ming was also familiar with several people, and then in a casual conversation, he said that the head of the person there was in Fukouguan.

"If you want to talk about that person, he is really a ruthless person, colluding with thieves to murder the master's family, but he is really mad." An old hunter listened to Yang Ming ask about the most exciting case within a radius of 100 miles recently, and he talked about it for Yang Ming with affection.

"Fortunately, God is clear that a bad person will never be spared, and the mad man will eventually be brought to justice, and now the head is hanging in the city pass, and the corpse is abandoned in the mountains and forests, and it is reduced to food for jackals, tigers and leopards, and it can be said that there are no bones left."

"That's retribution." Yang Ming said leisurely, at this time his mood was very complicated, for the old butler such a loyal and cunning, kind and cold-blooded person, Yang Ming really didn't know how to evaluate.

"Ugh." The hidden old hunter who was dancing for Yang Ming suddenly let out a long sigh.

"It's just that the poor lady of the main family, at a young age, first experienced the disaster of family ruin, and was kidnapped by thieves, and when the thief was dying, he even killed her in a frenzy, miserable, really miserable." The old hunter shook his head again and again, and sighed.

His expression was full of pity and sympathy for the other 'Little Snow Girl'.

Yang Ming listened to the story told by the old hunter, his mind rolled, and it was difficult for him to understand the behavior of the old butler.

What exactly is that behavior? For the Snow Girl to take the initiative to die, such a character is so noble, but in order to achieve his goal, he can kill an innocent girl so brutally, what is this kind of behavior?

What was it that drove the old butler to do such a thing? Is it loyalty? Is it faith? Is it righteousness? Or is it the so-called chivalry? Or nothing.

It was only now that Yang Ming realized that he had never known the old man's name, and there were many, many things he needed to know about this world.

Whether it was Uncle Biao, who took the initiative to die for his family, or the old housekeeper who seemed to him to be very cunning.

His extra memories do not allow him to truly know and understand the people of the world, and he will never be able to understand the people of the world when he has always regarded himself as a spectator of the world.

A person outside the story can never understand the person in the story, unless he is the person in the story himself.

"Speaking of that poor maiden of the main family, who is about the same age as your sister, I heard that she was born extremely beautiful, and people will not forget it as long as they see it, and it is precisely because of this that the mad man shaved the hair of the young lady of the main family in order to make himself safe, and ······ with your sister" The old man said and looked at the little snow girl who was carried on Yang Ming's back.

As his gaze gradually fixed on the Snow Maiden, his expression froze, because although the Snow Maiden was wearing a bearskin hat at this time, she seemed to have no hair either.

The old hunter who realized this couldn't help but be startled, and his palm subconsciously touched the short knife on his waist, but in Yang Ming's innocent and kind smile, he slowly let go of his hand again.

At this time, the Snow Girl listened to the story told by the old man, she already knew that her housekeeper grandfather was dead, and she knew that he died for herself, and for a while the sad emotions dominated her, and tears filled her eyes, lying on Yang Ming's shoulder, sobbing softly.

"My sister is young, and this is to substitute herself for the poor young lady of the master's house." Yang Ming saw that the old hunter's gaze was fixed on the face of the Snow Girl and the relaxation after that moment of nervousness, and said calmly and relaxedly.

"Yes, yes, this age is the age of sentimentality." The old hunter smiled and shook his head, only to feel that he was too sensitive, how could there be such a coincidence.

And he saw that the Snow Girl's attitude towards Yang Ming was intimate, compared to the kidnapped thief, she was more like a brother and sister.

In a hidden stronghold in the city of Zhao.

"My lord, something is wrong, the old man may have done it on purpose, and the little girl seems to be fake." A killer who was doing business analysis said to the killer who was the leader.

"What if it's fake, this matter has nothing to do with us now, hasn't the night man already taken care of this matter?" Led by a man in black.

In the previous operation, the net and the night killer took over the job at the same time, but the old butler was too cunning to complete the task, either the net and the nightfall.

After the old housekeeper died at the hands of the defenders of Fukou Pass, when Luo Wang had already admitted the failure of the mission, the people of the night took the initiative to bring the news back to Zhaodu, and said to Guo Kai, who was the owner of the gold, that it was their night people who successfully drove the old housekeeper from Taishang Mountain to Fukou Pass after unremitting pursuit, so that the defenders there killed the old housekeeper.

In this way, although the night curtain failed to kill the old housekeeper with his own hands, he still got fifty percent of the commission promised by Guo Kai in advance, and Luo Wang expressed deep contempt for the behavior of the night curtain so 'shameful' and disregarding the basic professionalism of the killer group.

Now that it has been revealed that things are not so simple, and the real goal is still alive, Luo Wang is naturally happy to see it.

"Aren't we going to tell that over there?" Killer B asked.

"No, wouldn't that help the night. That girl wants to live, as long as she lives, it is the biggest humiliation to the night, we have to wait for Guo Kai to find out the truth himself, so that he can more truly realize how low the professional ethics of the night killer are, now if we tell Guo Kai, the effect will not be good, and the night can completely excuse the matter with mistakes. The leader of the killers said.

"We want Guo Kai to know that Koreans can't do anything except make money, and the real professional killer still depends on us to collect the net."
