Chapter 55: Zhou Xi'er

Chang Sheng stood on the official road, holding flowers in his hand, looking at Yan Sihai busy on the side of the road, with an angry face.

Since leaving Qingzhou, Yan Sihai has been picking her hair along the way, and rubbing her hair with some strange powder, constantly spilling it on the roadside.

"Lao Yan, you're about to make me bald!"

Chang Shengjiao said angrily.

Yan Sihai smiled mysteriously and said

"It's a dismount."

Chang Sheng scolded angrily

"What kind of Ma Wei, I think you're scaring me."

Yan Sihai no longer messed with Chang Sheng, he looked at the front of the official road and said lightly

"Qingzhou is very close to Taiyang, according to our speed, we can arrive in Taiyang City tomorrow at the latest, I just hope that there will be no changes along the way."

However, before the words fell, he saw three black shadows suddenly slashing out from the oblique side of the official road, all of them dressed in black and masked, holding long swords, and their eyes showed murderous intentions.

Chang Sheng glanced at Yan Sihai

"Did you go to Xiangguo Temple to open the light?"

Yan Sihai does not change color

"Sheng Wazi don't want to talk nonsense, it's just a coincidence."

The three black shadows suddenly dispersed, and the two jumped to the sides to attack, and one faced Chang Sheng.

Seeing that the two were surrounded, the corners of Yan Sihai's mouth rose slightly, but he saw that three poisonous snakes suddenly burst out of his body, attacking the three of them respectively.

Yan Sihai's eyes flashed a trace of surprise, but he saw that although the three people used swords, the swords of the three people were neither fast nor ruthless, and they looked carefully at the hands of the three people, and there was no callus that sword practitioners often have in the mouth of the tiger.

"Not good!"

Yan Sihai let out a low snort, grabbed Chang Sheng beside him, and quickly stepped back.

Three poisonous snakes bit three people head-on, although the three people were covered, Chang Sheng saw with his own eyes that the eyes of the three people were suddenly bloodshot, which was extremely terrifying.

"Poof!"

After the three people were bitten, they were like a ball that had been pecked, and their bodies exploded one after another, and for a while, the dirt flew sideways, and the blood was all over the ground.

Then, the most terrifying thing was not like this, after they exploded, three red mist actually emitted from their bodies, which instantly enveloped Yan Sihai and Chang Sheng's original location.

Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Chang Sheng's forehead, and when he looked at the internal organs all over the ground, a foul smell suddenly hit.

"Gross."

She almost threw up, but she just retched and slowly calmed down.

Now she has seen more and more, and her inner ability to bear is becoming stronger and stronger.

"Sheng's baby has grown a lot."

Lao Yan on the side looked at her lightly.

Chang Sheng met Yan Sihai's eyes without showing weakness and said firmly

"I can't afford to hold off any longer."

As she spoke, she looked at the ground again, her face becoming calmer

"These people are too ruthless, and they even use their flesh as a tool to wrap themselves in poison."

Yan Sihai said

"It's very much in line with the style of doing things on the twelfth floor."

Chang Sheng looked at Yan Sihai seriously

"Lao Yan, how did you find out that there is something wrong with them."

Yan Shikaido

"They have swords, but they obviously don't know how to use swords, I want to stab, naturally it can't be so simple and rude, then the three of them can only be a trap, they don't shy away from the poisonous snakes I release, I feel even more strange, for the sake of safety, I decided to avoid the edge for the time being."

Chang Sheng nodded, she also felt that the three of them were too straightforward, obviously there was a chance to take advantage of their unpreparedness, but it was too stupid to jump in front of them and then make a move.

"It seems that they are indispensable along the way."

Chang Sheng said lightly

Yan Sihai sneered

"It seems that some people don't want you to enter Taiyang City alive."

Chang Sheng smiled lightly, three thousand green silks fluttered in the wind, and the immortal buds in her hands were delicate, she looked into the distance of the official road, and her eyes became more and more determined.

The two of them continued on their way, and about an hour later, another figure appeared in front of them.

The man was a little rickety, dark-skinned, and old-looking, and he was constantly muttering to himself, and he didn't know what he was saying.

Although he looked old, his eyes were not as cloudy as ordinary old people.

Yan Sihai stretched out his hand to protect Chang Sheng behind him, and saw that the man was staggering, his eyes were scattered, and he looked around, but it didn't seem to be a fake.

"This man is full of old age, and those eyes look like he is only thirty years old."

Chang Sheng said slowly.

The man didn't seem to see Chang Sheng and the others opposite, but kept muttering to himself, as if he was crazy.

Yan Sihai's face was serious, and for some reason, looking at that person, an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

Just when he had just raised this ominous premonition, suddenly, the sword light pierced him so that he couldn't open his eyes.

"Gollum"

By the time the two of them saw ahead again, a human head rolled down to their heels.

The man's body was still standing in front of him, and blood was spraying upwards from his neck in the shape of a fountain, and the man's neck was empty.

Two masked men in black with knives stood beside them, their long knives dripping with blood and steaming.

Yan Sihai watched coldly, quietly looking at the two masked men.

The two masked men had long knives glittering with blood, killing from both sides.

Yan Sihai waved his wide sleeves, and the two Gu worms let out a bloodthirsty moan from their sleeves, and flew towards the two masked people.

But the two men were apparently completely unmoved from the three who had been killed in the previous wave, and this was the real Assassin.

"Wow"

With a flash of knife light, the two Gu insects were slashed to death by force, and the knife technique was delicate and precise, and it was extraordinary.

Yan Sihai was smiling

"You can play yin, and so will we."

After the two Gu worms were killed, two clouds of viscous yellow liquid splashed, and when the two of them were caught off guard, they were splashed into their eyes by the liquid splashing everywhere.

"Ahh

The screams came suddenly, and the two covered their eyes and rolled on the ground, in great pain.

A moment later, between the fingers where the two covered their eyes, blood slowly flowed.

Yan Sihai's eyes were indifferent, and he picked up the knives of the two on the ground, one for each person, and the result was two people.

"Give back to the other in his way."

Chang Sheng said.

Yan Sihai was expressionless

"I did learn a lot from them."

But at this moment, in the distance of the official road, another figure rushed in.

Chang Sheng looked at it fixedly, it was a child.

The child was no more than seven or eight years old, with tears on his face, crying and running, and shouting from time to time

"Daddy! Daddy......"

Yan Sihai walked up to Chang Sheng, looked at the child, and said lightly

"Why don't you poison it first?"

Chang Sheng gave him a blank look

"Are you crazy, don't let the children go."

Yan Sihai smiled

"That's not for sure, on the twelfth floor, it is said that there is a department dedicated to training children to be killers, and that guy can't prevent it."

The boy ran not far in front of the two of them, hugged the headless corpse on the ground and wept bitterly

"Daddy, Daddy, wake up, I'm not going to run around anymore, don't ......"

Chang Sheng walked up to the child, gently handed the child a handkerchief, and showed a warm smile on his white face.

The child raised his head, looked at the handkerchief handed over, his face was full of anger, and before Chang Sheng could react, he pounced in front of him, and his immature fist beat Chang Sheng hard

"Bad guys! You kill my father, bad guy, I'll kill you! ”

Chang Sheng was stunned, but saw that the child was pulled behind him by Yan Sihai

"Little doll, your father was killed by these two men in black, what do we have to do."

Yan Sihai carried the child to the two men in black.

The kid looked at Yan Sihai, his eyes were full of hatred, and he shouted

"I don't care, even if you didn't kill it, you killed it, otherwise what are you doing here!"

Yan Sihai looked helpless and threw him aside

"Leave him alone, let's go."

Chang Sheng shook his head

"This kid is right, his father's death is indeed related to us."

As she spoke, she walked over to the child, helped him up, wiped the ashes and tears from his face, and spoke softly

"Little brother, your father was indeed not killed by us, this is indeed a coincidence, those two people came to kill me, but they killed your father by mistake."

The child broke free of Chang Sheng's hand and kept slapping Chang Sheng

"I don't care, my father was killed by you, woo woo, you compensate my father."

Chang Sheng put down the flower in his hand, hugged the child tightly in his arms, and let the child cry, just kept saying softly

"I'm sorry, it's my sister's fault."

The crying continued for a while, and the child was probably tired of crying, and fell asleep in Chang Sheng's arms.

Chang Sheng looked at Lao Yan and lowered his voice, afraid of waking up the child

"Lao Yan, you can help bury this big brother."

Yan Sihai reluctantly lifted the corpse, and muttered in his mouth

"The old man has seen many dead people in his life, and when he is about to do the work of collecting corpses."

After a long while, the child slowly woke up, sniffed lightly with his nose, smelled a fragrance, he opened his eyes, only to find that he was still in Chang Sheng's arms.

"You're awake."

Chang Sheng's words seemed to have a fragrance, and he felt a sense of relief in his heart, but after thinking about it, this might be his father-killing enemy, so he pushed him away again.

"Don't worry about it!"

Chang Sheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw him

"Okay, doll, your father was indeed not killed by us, if we did, how could you live until now."

The boy still didn't buy it, put on a stinky face, looked around, and looked for his father's body, only to find that his father's body and head were gone

"Where's my dad!"

He was furious

Chang Sheng patted him on the shoulder, and the child turned around, but saw Chang Sheng pointing to a high dirt slope in the distance next to the official road.

The boy looked at it from a distance, and struggled to climb up to the small dirt slope, and in front of him there was a long wooden plaque with words engraved on it, and although he could not read, he now understood that this was his father's tomb.

"In the wilderness, I have to simply find a resting place for your father."

Chang Sheng walked behind him, patted the child's back gently, and sighed.

The child "poofed" and knelt on the ground

"Daddy!"

The clear voice resounded all over the world, and Chang Sheng and Yan Sihai stood silently behind them, without saying a word.

The boy cried for a long time holding the wooden sign, and finally stood up again, and turned his head to be wet with tears.

"You've got to take me with you."

The child's resolute eyes looked at Chang Sheng and Yan Sihai

"My dad is gone, you have to take care of me."

Yan Sihai had a strange face

"Hey, this kid is pretty shameless."

Chang Sheng stopped Yan Sihai and asked

"What about your family, why are you the only one with your father, your mother?"

The child's eyes suddenly became cold, and he said lightly

"Killed, the killer chased us all the way, in order to save me, my dad led the killer away, I ran here, only to find that my dad was dead."

Chang Sheng gasped, looking at the child in front of her in disbelief, her cold eyes didn't look like a seven or eight-year-old child at all, she witnessed the tragic death of her father and mother in front of her, but she was still so calm, she suddenly had a sense of fear for this child.

"So, you know that your father was not harmed by us, but why do you want to blame us."

Yan Sihai said coldly, his eyes were like a poisonous snake, staring at the child, as if he was about to burst out and kill him at any time.

The child was also calm, his eyes met Yan Sihai, and he was not afraid

"How do I know you're not in the same league as those guys?"

Yan Sihai laughed angrily

"Hahahaha, what a sinister boy, in that case, you go to find your grandfather, let's return to the bridge, the road to the road, and we have nothing to do with each other."

The boy said, wiping tears from his face

"You are good people, I want to follow you."

Chang Sheng chuckled

"Why do you think we're good people, and we're not afraid that we'll sell you to those killers halfway?"

The kid shook his head and said

"No, my father said, people like us, I don't know if we die one day, there is no place to bury, you are willing to bury my father, this is what good people do."

Yan Sihai's face was not good, and he said to Chang Sheng

"We are all in danger, this kid is also being hunted down and killed, if you take him, won't you be chased and killed by two waves of people."

Chang Sheng thought for a moment and said to the child

"What's your name?"

The boy said, holding his head high

"My husband doesn't change his name, I don't change my surname, my name is Zhou Xier."

Chang Sheng chuckled

"Zhou Xi'er, why does this name look so much like a girl."

Zhou Xi'er said coldly

"Our children from poor families, unlike your rich and noble families, can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law if they have a boy, but it is better to give birth to a girl, and when they grow up, they can be sold to rich people's families for a good price, and my mother gave me a good name before she gave birth to me."

Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a burst of sourness, although she was sick since she was a child and her life was not good, but there was never a shortage of food and clothing at home, and she had never felt what the poor days were like with her brother, even if it was dangerous, she had never been bothered by eating and sleeping.

Zhou Xi'er saw that Chang Sheng was silent, but smiled again

"Sister doesn't have to feel sorry for me, my family is poor, it's purely because my dad is a good gambler, he gambled all the money in the family, he hopes to have a girl, but also to be able to sell it to pay off the debt, if it weren't for my unsuccessful father, with my grandfather's salary working in a rich family, our family would not be so poor."

When Yan Sihai heard this, he immediately regretted erecting a monument for that person

"How did I collect the corpse of a rotten gambler."

Chang Sheng felt that something was wrong

"Then why are those killers chasing you?"

Zhou Xi'er shook her head blankly

"I don't know, who knows what trouble my dad caused outside, if it weren't for him, my mother wouldn't have died."

Yan Sihai said

"I think you're quite filial to your father."

Zhou Xi'er said proudly

"That's nature, that's my own father."

Chang Sheng frowned, and Yan Sihai saw that her expression was wrong, so he said

"Let's go, leave him alone, who knows which words in his mouth are true, this kid."

Chang Sheng stopped Yan Sihai and asked again

"Where does your grandfather live?"

Zhou Xi'er thought about it and hesitated

"I don't know, my father said that he works in a big family in Qingzhou."

Yan Shikaido

"Then we don't follow you, so don't follow us."

Zhou Xier said

"I haven't met my grandfather, and I don't have any feelings, so I think it's better to follow you."

Chang Sheng frowned and thought for a while, then said

"Okay, you can follow us, but you'll have to listen to me along the way."

Zhou Xi'er smiled happily and hugged Chang Sheng's arm obediently

"Well, sister, don't worry, I won't run around."
