"To kill you is to kill thousands of people?"

The black dog repeated Gu Lan's words, and his tone was full of mockery and disdain.

He looked at the girl in front of him again, her eyes were bright, neither humble nor arrogant, and she was calm enough in danger.

The black dog noticed that she had thought about running away, but for some reason, she stayed behind to deal with him.

But no matter what, he has seen a lot of people who talk big and brag about exchanging their fortunes for their lives before they die, and he has never seen such bragging.

His voice was hoarse, like a nasty crow in a rotting wood, and it made people frown at the sound of the voice.

Gu Lan still looked neither humble nor arrogant, she even smiled, and then nodded naturally.

"Yes, killing me is equivalent to killing thousands of people, do you have the guts?"

"Where did you get that confidence?"

The black dog snorted coldly, he didn't hate Gu Lan's calmness, but he felt ridiculous about her arrogant confidence.

Gu Lan picked up the teacup, took a sip calmly, and put down the cup.

Make a little crisp noise.

"If I'm not mistaken, Your Excellency should have found me for the sake of arrowroot."

The black dog frowned.

"If you guess further, who did I offend, so that he could ask someone to come from thousands of miles to ask me for the life of a peasant girl."

"I want to think about it, but I can only think of one person."

"Dongfang Shuo of the Oriental Family."

"Not long ago, he came to the village to look for the secret method of tree kudzu, and the village told him without any reservations, and promised him that the matter could not be leaked."

"But, I'm sorry I didn't do that, because I can't afford to watch so many people who suffer from hunger like me die this winter."

Gu Lan stood up, she used a wooden stick to prop up the bamboo window, and at some point, it snowed outside again.

She sighed softly, and the sigh drifted far away, and she asked, "Your Excellency came from afar, and what did you see along the way?" ”

The black dog frowned inexplicably.

He was very sure that he hadn't told Gu Lan about where he came from, that was to say, the facts Gu Lan had just said were all guessed by herself.

He once again changed his impression of Gu Lan, this girl is not simple.

She's calm and smart, and if someone else had been replaced, there might have been some hope of escape.

But what she met was a man who had no heart, and he had been a killer for so many years, and he had already lost his share of blood as a human being.

"One death, or thousands of people, is just a number to me."

The cup of tea had already been drunk, and he also satisfied his casual curiosity about what kind of victim it was.

It was enough, he came behind Gu Lan, and a dagger in his sleeve slipped into his palm, flashing a trace of silver light.

"You've said enough to die."

"You came half a month late, and if you had come earlier, you would have seen countless people lying in the snow, husbands losing their wives, mothers losing their children...... They were voluntary and forced to do so. ”

"If someone gives them a choice, a way to live, there will be many people who will avoid the fate of certain death, so I told them the secret method of tree kudzu."

"These surviving children, maybe some of them will be farmers, businessmen, peddlers, pawns, and scholars, but they will not become a desperate killer who can only treat life as a mustard."

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the sky and the earth are white, and the bamboo house is also half bright and half dark by the snow.

Gu Lan stood under the snowlight, with a shallow smile on her face, and turned to look at the black dog calmly.

The black dog stood in the shadows, his brow furrowed, as if he had been killed.

He held a dagger in his hand, but he couldn't stab it anyway.

"So what......" The black dog retorted to Gu Lan with difficulty, "You can save them for a while, but you can't save them for a lifetime." ”

No one knows better than him the means of the family, they are the most pure, they are the meanest, and they have countless means to destroy everything these people already have.

Even if this hard-won food and clothing has nothing to do with them.

"I know, would you like to hear me tell a story?"

"What's the story?" The black dog subconsciously asked, he thought of the story Gu Lan told the children just now, how could this girl be so good at telling stories?

"A wise man, passing through a dry river, saw a child scooping up fish from a puddle in the scorching sun and carrying them into the river, and again and again, the child was tired and sweaty, but still the fish died."

The wise man could not bear to look at it, so he stepped forward to stop the child, saying that the child's method of doing this was a drop in the bucket, and that it would be useless, and no one would care.

"Do you know how the child answers?"

The black dog's emotions were like being brought into the story, "How do you answer?" ”

"The child picked up a fish and told him earnestly that this fish cares, and that fish cares."

The black dog froze in place, a simple story, a simple truth, but it was so shocking.

"This fish cares about ......"

He muttered, even a little unsteady on his feet.

He thought of himself.

He was also a poor man, like many children, he was born without a full stomach, starved until he was seven or eight years old, and there were several younger brothers and sisters below, and his father was tired to death, and his mother went to sell herself to raise children, and this is how his younger brothers and sisters were born.

His younger siblings were sold like cattle to a pot-bellied wealthy merchant, and it wasn't long before he saw a pair of siblings who had been abused to death.

Later, his mother also died, because the guests refused to pay, she cried and begged to make a fuss, and was pushed down and fell to her death.

No one is in charge of the black dog, and no one wants to give an orphan a bowl of rice, he is so hungry that he almost fell in the snow, and beside him, there are countless beggars like him waiting for alms from the good Samaritan.

At last someone appeared, and threw a piece of the nest, and the head of the nest fell in front of the black dog, and his eyes were green, and he pounced on him like a hungry wolf, but he was pushed and beaten.

In order to eat the nest, the black dog went crazy, and he picked up a stone and smashed it hard, and everything that was in front of him was smashed to pieces.

He slowly lost his strength and slipped in a pool of blood, swallowing hard, and there was no light in his eyes.

Then he heard a voice.

"This kid is like a wolf, a lonely life, suitable to be a surgeon, take him back."

In this way, the black dog became an unsightly orphan of the Oriental family, and he began to train.

The so-called training is nothing more than killing people, anyway, there are many children like him, no matter how old they are when they are adopted, they still have to go on a mission, if they can live, they will live, and those who can't survive the mission will die.

And the black dog, he is Chinese New Year's Eve years old now, and he doesn't know how many missions he has survived.
