Chapter Sixty-Eight: Greed Is Not Enough for Snakes to Swallow Elephants

In order to avoid the rain, Jiang Chen took the two girls and walked for more than two miles, and finally found a dilapidated temple in a mist of water.

Although the house has collapsed in half, it still has a foothold in the northeast corner, barely sheltering from the wind and rain.

During the conversation, it was learned that Mu Chang, one of the two girls dressed in broken flowers and red clothes, lived in a small village twenty miles away from Longjiang, and it was only because their gambling father owed a lot of gambling debts that they almost became prisoners of the villains.

The girl sitting next to Mu Chang is her own sister Mu Jin, the two are five years apart, and they are both slim and elegant.

Mu Chang told Jiang Chen that the black-faced evil star who was escorting them on the road just now was a well-known bully named Liu Kui. This man is tyrannical and does all kinds of evil, and the villagers always have to retreat when they meet him, and their hearts are panicked.

This time Liu Kui found their family, and when he became a father's bastard, he sneaked away by himself the night before, so angry that Liu Kui directly set fire to the Mu family, and now the two sisters are helpless, leaving each other to rely on each other.

Jiang Chen had heard too many stories like this, so he silently lit a bonfire, and then got up and walked back.

Seeing this, Mu Chang and Mu Jin also hurriedly got up, afraid that Jiang Chen would leave them alone like this.

"What are you doing here?"

"Wherever Childe goes, we will go, the two of us are now Childe's people."

Jiang Chen scratched his head and said calmly: "I bought you from Liu Kui, not to keep you by your side and enslave you, so you must not say such things." ”

"All men are born free, and no one can control your destiny."

The words were so, but Mu Chang said with tears in her eyes: "Childe! ”

"Our sisters are helpless in this troubled world, we just want to be able to stay with our son, whether you accept us as concubines or maidservants, even if we are cattle and horses, there will be no complaints!"

"Please keep us."

Mu Chang and Mu Jin knelt down in front of Jiang Chen, tears welled up again in their clear and moving eyes, for them, the current situation can be described as exhaustive, only by trying to grasp Jiang Chen's big tree, can they have the vitality to live.

"Get up, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I'm also in danger right now, and it's inconvenient to go into detail about the specific situation, but if you stay with me for too long, you will definitely be affected by me."

"But I can promise to send you to Longjiang safely, and give you some silver, and you can only rely on yourself to go the way forward."

Then, the three of them sat around the campfire and slowly dried their rain-soaked clothes, and waited until the rain outside finally stopped, and then got up to continue walking.

Mu Jin jumped over the potholes of stagnant water, stood in front of the temple gate and turned around and beckoned: "Childe, sister, if it really doesn't rain, the air around you is so fresh now." ”

"Come on!"

Mu Jin's demeanor is very cute, she is only a fifteen-year-old girl, she has just endured such an ordeal, and it is really a beautiful thing to be able to reproduce an innocent smile on her face.

But the good times didn't last long, and a cold hand reached out from behind her back and tightly strangled her neck.

"It's a misfortune that we're meeting again!"

The black-faced man who suddenly appeared behind Mu Jin was none other than the villain Liu Kui who had gone and returned.

Mu Chang gasped and watched her sister fall into Liu Kui's hands, this sudden change made her almost faint on the spot.

Jiang Chen reached out in time to support Mu Chang's waist, and said in a deep voice of relief: "Don't worry, your sister will be fine." ”

Liu Kui grinned and laughed insolently: "You stinky scholar, don't think that you think you are great if you have a few dollars!" Now I have someone here, a knife, and this damn stinky girl in my hand, how are you going to fight me! ”

As he spoke, two other people flashed in from outside the temple gate, the corners of their mouths raised, and their hands holding the blades that shimmered brightly.

The situation in front of him is self-evident, if Jiang Chen refuses to be honest, he will inevitably face a dangerous situation in a different place.

"Sister... Childe ......"

Mu Jin had tears in his eyes, but he tried to restrain himself from crying.

She even blamed herself a little, why did she catch this wicked person so carelessly, and now she has to cause her sister and son to suffer with her.

However, even in such a bad situation, Jiang Chen's face was still calm and calm, and the clouds were light.

"When you saw that I had taken out a hundred and fifty taels of silver so easily, you coveted that I had more money worth plundering, so you quickly found two helpers to follow me secretly, intending to loot me and tie the two sisters back again."

"In this way, you have all the money and make a lot of money, which is a great thing!"

Liu Kui said coldly: "That's it, you're quite smart and know what I want to do." Since you know the current affairs so well, hurry up and call out the silver, so that Lao Tzu can do it himself. ”

Who knew that Jiang Chen replied simply: "I have the silver, but I won't give it to you." ”

"Hey, looking for death! You go and slaughter this boy first! ”

Under Liu Kui's order, the two subordinates walked in front of Jiang Chen with knives, but before they could take a few steps closer, they suddenly tripped over something under their feet and fell to the ground.

The two fell one after another, Liu Kui didn't expect it, he didn't realize that his men subconsciously let go, which gave Jiang Chen a chance to make a move.

A long-standing stone flew out of Jiang Chen's hand, hitting Liu Kui's face, he fell back in a scream, Jiang Chen, who was obviously at an absolute disadvantage just now, easily completed the counter-kill.

The agile Jiang Chen brought Mu Jin back to Mu Chang, then picked up the knife that fell to the ground and let the two sisters walk out first.

Listening to only a few clean sounds, the two helpers brought by Liu Kui had already become ghosts under the knife, and Liu Kui, who was dizzy and dizzy by the stones, hurriedly rolled and crawled to escape from this place.

He finally discovered that the stinky scholar he looked down on was actually a ruthless person who killed people without blinking, but at this time, no matter how loudly he cried, it was useless, and Jiang Chen's knife fell from the top of his head......

Moments later, the ruined temple fell silent again.

Jiang Chen stepped out casually and said lightly to the two sisters of the Mu family: "Okay, let's go." ”

Along the way, neither Mu Chang nor Mu Jin was afraid of Jiang Chen because of this incident, and Mu Chang asked Jiang Chen a question curiously.

"Childe, I didn't expect you to be so skilled, so why did you still pay money to someone like Liu Kui in the first place?"

Jiang Chen said: "Everything must pay attention to a rule, and it is precisely because no one pays attention to the rules in this troubled world that it has become like this." ”
