Chapter Twenty-Eight: What a Wonderful Entrustment (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
Jingfa happily walked into Sitongtang, took the package from a guy, and was about to leave with a smile when he was pulled by Zhou Er.
"What is the fat man doing? Do you want to follow me for a long time?" Jing Fa laughed.
"Don't be stinky, the tasks assigned to newcomers are usually very simple, what knowledge do I have? As he spoke, Zhou Er pointed to the address slip attached to the package.
"What's strange?" Jing Fa looked at it, but didn't find anything unusual.
"Did you see the note behind the recipient?" Zhou Er said.
Following what Zhou Er pointed out, Jingfa saw that it read "Recipient: Jiang Mei", and added a few words after the name: "Be sure to sign in person." ”
"What's wrong with this? Isn't the recipient the target of the mission? Wouldn't it be nice to come back and report after killing?"
"Crappy three is lame three, what does it mean to sign in person? That is, you have to give him the package in front of her, that is, you have to face her face to face before killing her, what does this employer mean?" Zhou Er touched his head and couldn't figure it out.
"Hey, what do you think so much about, don't you say how difficult the task assigned to the newcomer can be? Can it be more dangerous than almost being hacked to death yesterday? Sign in person, sign in person, I'll make eye contact with her first, and then finish her with a sword click, no. With that, Jingfa received the package, waved goodbye to Zhou Er, and headed to the destination.
Jingfa came to the address on the package and found a corner in the north of Yangzhou.
The scenery here is very different from the Yangzhou City he saw two days ago.
Yangzhou City two days ago, prosperous and rich, the houses I saw were basically big mansions with three entrances and three exits, blue bricks and green tiles, and everywhere exuded a rich atmosphere.
But here, in front of me is a small bungalow next to each other, with sludge and thatch everywhere, and the smell of livestock in the air from time to time, which is completely different from the rest of Yangzhou City.
If he hadn't come here, Jingfa would never have thought that there would be such a poor place in Yangzhou, which is so prosperous.
Walking into this area, Jingfa's heart felt an inexplicable heaviness.
Slowly, he came to the address written on the package, which was an ordinary mud room, and the paint on the door was peeling and broken.
The breeze blew and slammed against the door, creaking as if it had been any stronger, and the door would have been torn down.
"Knock knock. After confirming that the address was correct, Jingfa reached out and knocked on the door.
"Wait a minute. Immediately, a crisp female voice came from inside the room.
The door opened, revealing the round face of a girl with a ponytail and about thirteen or fourteen years old.
"Are you Jiang Mei? Jingfa handed over the package and said lightly.
Seeing the package in Jingfa's hand, the girl reached out and made a shushing gesture on her mouth, turned her head to look behind her, and hurriedly walked outside the house, closed the door softly, and said to Jingfa: "Follow me." ”
Jingfa followed the girl to a desolate mud field, the girl looked at it to make sure that there was no one on the left and right, took the package, and said, "Yes, I am Jiang Mei, you are the assassin I asked to kill me." ”
After listening to Jiang Mei's words, Jing Fa was stunned: "Wait a minute, what are you talking about? I am the assassin you asked to kill you? You are the employer? The target you want to kill is yourself?"
"yes, didn't they tell you before they sent you?" Jiang Mei blinked and asked as she raised her head towards Jingfa.
After listening to Jiang Mei's words, Jing Fa had a feeling that he had been deeply played, and roared angrily: "It's not easy to kill yourself, tie a stone to yourself, find a river to jump into, or take a knife and wipe your neck, and you will be relieved immediately." I said, girl, is it funny that you're playing with me like that?"
"I've thought about all of what you've said, but I choked on water when I was a child, and the taste of choking was so bad that I couldn't stand it. In addition, I also tried to cut the veins with scissors, but I was afraid of pain, and as soon as the scissors pierced a little skin, I was so weak that I couldn't exert myself anymore. I can't help it, I can only ask you in the end. As she spoke, Jiang Mei clasped her hands together and made a gesture of please.
After listening to Jiang Mei's words, Jingfa's heart suddenly collapsed, and he shouted in his heart: "Could it be that my Jingfa is famous, and this is what my debut show is like this? Just kill a little kid who wants to commit suicide?"
Seeing Jingfa's painful appearance, Jiang Mei felt a little funny, laughed out loud, and said, "I thought that being an assassin would be cold-blooded and ruthless, and murderous like numbness, but I didn't expect that you were completely different from what I imagined." Shouldn't you be happy to meet a target like me who is voluntarily killed and will not put up any resistance?"
"You...... A little kid, not qualified to teach me how to do it, to tell you, when I killed people for the first time, you didn't even know where to hide and drink milk. After listening to Jiang Mei's words, Jing Fa suddenly came back to his senses, his face forcibly became cold, and he said with wide eyes.
"Milk, I don't think I've ever drunk it in my memory, what kind of taste is it?" Jiang Mei seemed to be lost in thought, muttering to herself.
"You ......" Jingfa was so angry that Jiang Mei couldn't speak, and suddenly with a bang, he pulled out the broken sword at his waist and stared at her viciously.
But at this time, Jingfa saw that Jiang Mei didn't seem to notice herself at all, the whole person seemed to be immersed in memories, her brows tightened and relaxed, and gradually, it seemed that a teardrop slipped from the corner of her eye.
Somehow, seeing Jiang Mei's appearance, Jing Fa's hand that raised the sword couldn't stab it.
"His grandfather's, this face is embarrassing, the first task, a task with a low difficulty coefficient to the extreme, I can't even complete it, which makes me mess up in the door in the future. Jing Fa wailed in his heart, and suddenly inserted the sword back into his waist.
Jingfa's move pulled Jiang Mei back from her memory.
She looked at Jing Fa with some strange curiosity, "Lord Assassin, what's the matter? Don't kill me? ”
Jing Fa had an idea, remembered the three rules that Zhou Er had told him, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, this door has a rule that I don't kill innocent and kind people, so in order to avoid me being punished for violating the rules, I can only choose to give up this commission." ”
"Lord Assassin, you can rest assured that when I went to you to entrust the mission, I made it very clear to you, I want you to kill myself, not others, so it is not against your rules, so you can do it with confidence. Jiang Mei smiled and spread her hands, signaling Jing to move.
"You ......! Don't force me!" Jing Fa was furious, pulled out his broken sword, and stabbed Jiang Mei in the chest with lightning speed.
"All those who are not afraid of death will regret it in the moment before they die, I see if you are afraid or not. Jing Fa sneered in his heart and sped up the speed of his sword moves.
"Wait. Seeing that the broken sword was about to stab Jiang Mei's heart, Jiang Mei suddenly roared.
Jing Fa stopped his sword move, and sneered: "I'm scared, right, then withdraw the commission, and don't delay me to perform other tasks." ”
"No, I'd like to ask you to fulfill a few wishes for me before killing me. Jiang Mei said lightly.
"What? What are you? I'm an assassin, an assassin, an assassin who kills!" Jing Fa said with wide eyes in disbelief.
"Well, if you help me do these last few things, I'll revoke the commission and commit suicide myself, so that you won't be punished for not completing the commission, right?" Jiang Mei smiled with wide eyes.
Jing Fa thought that Jiang Mei's words also made sense, he couldn't mess up his debut after the entry, so he nodded and agreed.
Seeing that Jingfa agreed to his request, Jiang Mei's face bloomed like a spring flower, and she happily took out a delicate bag from her waist, took out a paper ball from it, and shook it in the air.
Jingfa saw that it was full of dense words, and when he counted it, there were as many as forty or fifty things that Jiang Mei wanted to help him do.
At this moment, he felt like he had been cheated again.
