Chapter 2: Killing the Wrong Person?

"Squeak", a wooden window was pushed open, looking inside, just saw half of the face, this person has a handsome face, a resolute expression revealing a bit of immaturity that can not be hidden, only to find out after careful discernment, this is not the man in black who assassinated in the pastoral mansion last night.

The man in black is holding the desk with one hand and the window edge with the other, the strange thing is that although his face is pale, he still shows a little handsome, he is definitely a young man, yes, but his hands and the neck exposed outside his clothes are very wrinkled, like an old man with old age and decay, maybe this is also one of the sequelae of the life solution.

His eyes were silent, the bustling crowd outside the window, the children playing, and the sun was shining, looking at this completely unfamiliar place, the corner of the black-clothed young man's mouth actually grinned. Then, he withdrew his gaze and looked around the room, and from the simple wooden bed and table, and the gray bronze mirror, he could see that this was a small inn that was not expensive, and there were shoe prints on the desk and the window edge, but he couldn't remember how he broke the window into this place, but fortunately it was an empty room, otherwise it would be embarrassing again.

Sighing softly, the man in black just wanted to move, and the sharp pain from all over his body couldn't wait to torture every inch of his nerves again. Looking at his weak appearance, it seems as if a three-year-old child could easily push him to the ground. But even so, he didn't mean to stop, instead gritted his teeth, sat down on the edge of the bed, and then crossed his knees and closed his eyes, and began to mobilize the residual true qi in his body.

Time passed little by little, about the end of the evening, there was a strange sound of "cooing" in the room, the young man in black slowly opened his eyes, his hands loosened, and the true qi gradually stopped circulating, sinking into the veins, and returning to the dantian.

At this time, the young man's hands were already white and full, his face was ruddy, and he was no longer sick. In just half a day, the injury could recover to such an extent, if his master was there, he would definitely be surprised, because after his master performed the life solution technique for the first time, it took more than half a month to recover his body.

The young man in black stretched his waist, touched his stomach and smiled bitterly, presumably the cooing sound just now came from this hungry belly. Then he got up and got out of bed, wiped the footprints off the window and desk, then opened the deadbolt and walked downstairs.

There were few guests downstairs, and even the shopkeeper actually took Xiao Er to lie on the desk and fell asleep, the young man in black walked over and tapped the table, and the two of them raised their heads sleepily, looking at the expression It seemed that there was still some blame for the young man for disturbing their dreams, and the young man in black didn't talk nonsense, took out the silver money and put it on the table and walked out.

The shopkeeper asked the little guy with a blank face, "When did we have a guest upstairs?" The little guy looked at the back of the young man going out, scratched his head and replied, "I don't remember such a guest staying in the hotel." Then he thought about it again and said, "No, we haven't had guests staying at the inn for three days." The shopkeeper didn't care so much, put away the money, and went to sleep. The little guy next to him was still frowning and thinking, as if he wouldn't give up if he didn't recall this guest!

The town in the evening is not lively, and the pedestrians on the street are sparse and come and go, but there is still a little popularity even if this noodle restaurant is a few people, six or seven tables are half full, and the place in the store is not spacious. The young man in black found a place against the wall and sat down, asked for a bowl of noodles, and listened to everyone's talk as if he were idle.

There are three big men sitting at a table on the left, all of them with wind and frost on their faces, their clothes are scattered, they should be fishermen who go to sea all year round, experiencing the sea breeze and showing the vicissitudes of life. One of the black-billed hunchbacked men suddenly whispered to his two companions, "Do you know that I heard that there were assassins in the Mufu last night. ”

The other two stretched out their ears at first, thinking that the hunchbacked man was going to say something big, but when they heard this, they both quickly retracted their heads, and said with a look of surprise: "Hey, I thought what happened, you just came ashore this afternoon to hear about it, and we all know it early this morning." ”

The hunchbacked man seemed to be quite interested in this matter, and asked, "You two brothers are still well-informed, but this shepherd master has not made any mistakes, right?"

When the man sitting in the north heard the hunchback's question, he couldn't help but say with a smile on his face: "How can we outsiders know about this, but I have heard that there are quite a few assassins, there are seventeen or eighteen." ”

The hunchback looked worried, and muttered: "So many people deal with Master Mu, a businessman who doesn't know martial arts, then I'm afraid it's more than lucky." After speaking, he pursed his lips, as if there was indescribable grief in his heart.

When the other two saw the hunchback like this, they also sighed in frustration. The man sitting in the west rubbed his eyes and said: "The old man has his own natural appearance, and he will be fine, I also heard that the seventeen or eighteen black-clothed people who went to assassinate all died, and none of them ran away, it was the eldest lady's hand." Besides, if the shepherd is gone, won't the Mufu have to hold a funeral for nothing today?"

When the other two heard this, they immediately felt that their chests and nasal cavities were much wider, and they said: "Yes, there is no funeral, then it must be fine, and there is no rumor, at least there should be no danger to life." ”

Just when the three of them were about to draw conclusions about this matter, a man at the next table who also looked like a fisherman took a bowl of wine, and said: "I think the old man is very lucky, and today was originally the day when the major shopkeepers went to the regular meeting of the business house to pay the account, but the shopkeepers all went, but the old man didn't see it." And none of us have ever seen this eldest lady, who killed seventeen or eighteen assassins with the power of a woman, and it is not very credible to say it. ”

Hearing the words of the adjacent table, the three people who had just breathed a sigh of relief instantly turned numb again, and said with a hunchback: "In the past ten years, we have been able to resist the invasion of pirates, all thanks to the great kindness of the Mu Master, if the Mu Master has some accidents, without his escort team, we will not let those pirates slaughter in the future?"

The others didn't seem to have the slightest objection to this, just lowered their heads and drank, and said no more.

But the young man in black who was listening to this conversation on the side was thinking and his wine was hard to swallow. Nine times out of ten, the pastoral mansion mentioned by these people was the one they went to yesterday, but they were obviously alone, but they said that there were seventeen or eighteen people in black, and they had obviously escaped, but they said that none of them had escaped the net. Moreover, they said that this old man was a good person, but in fact, they also felt that the old man was not like a bad person, but didn't the master only kill bad people, not good people? Then what was the task assigned to him this time? Thinking that he might have killed a good person by mistake, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

No, I have to go back to Master and ask for clarification. The young man in black slapped his chopsticks, threw down the silver coin, and hurried out of the noodle shop.
