"It's been a long time since I drank such clean water..."
Jiang Sheng licked the bottom of the bowl with his tongue, as if he wanted to drink up every last drop.
Xue Mu couldn't see Jiang Sheng's actions, but he only had a rough outline.
Jiang Sheng looked at Xue Mu standing on the edge and saw that he seemed different from the other jailers.
He then said, "Do you know how many people I killed in total?"
"I don't want to know." Xue Mu explained.
"Why? Don't you want to know the whereabouts of my stolen money? Don't you want to know?" Jiang Sheng sat up with difficulty, and the wounds all over his body made him feel pain every time he moved.
Xue Mu said calmly: "How many people you have killed and how much stolen money you have are meaningless to me."
However, Jiang Sheng ignored him and said to himself: "I killed five landlords. They were so bullying. Everyone is created equal. Why should farmers have to work for them for generations?"
When he was agitated, his wounds seemed to burst and his expression became even more ugly.
Perhaps it was because Xue Mu was unmoved.
Instead, Jiang Shenggao looked at him for a while, and then took another look at his blind appearance: "Looking at you like this, you have been bullied a lot in the prison, right?..."
Xue Mu didn't speak, but silently gained experience points.
He knew that according to Jiang Sheng's character, lynching or persuading him with sincere words might not have much effect.
It is better to remain silent and check the gain of experience points.
But Jiang Sheng said at this moment: "Did they ask you to interrogate me and tell me the whereabouts of the stolen money?"
"Yeah." Xue Mu finally spoke: "But I know you won't say it, so I won't waste my time."
Jiang Sheng looked at him, hesitated, and finally said, "I'll tell you where to put the money I stole. Come over."
When Xue Mu heard this, he hesitated.
What if he gets close enough and he kills himself?
However, he is now at the first level of the Pulse Opening Realm, and Jiang Sheng has been seriously injured. Even if he attacks by surprise, Xue Mu is sure to avoid it.
But he still said, "I don't want to know."
"Why?"
"You were tortured by them for four days and you refused to tell me. Why are you telling me now?"
After hearing this, Jiang Sheng smiled bitterly: "The reason why I didn't tell them was because they were too arrogant. I would rather die than surrender."
"Perhaps it's because you are a blind man and have a good heart, and you will give me a bowl of water to drink. After I tell you about the gold, silver and jewelry, it doesn't matter whether you keep it for yourself or exchange it for an official position. I am also a capital offender anyway. ." He then looked into Xue Mu's eyes and said.
After hearing this, Xue Mu thought for two seconds, then squatted down and slowly groped towards his position.
But he is always vigilant, and if there is any sign of trouble, he will immediately wave his fist.
In this environment, Xue Mu would not trust anyone.
He can only trust himself.
He also knew that Jiang Sheng was seriously injured now, and even if he was at the fourth level of pulse opening, he might not be his opponent.
[As long as you pay attention to his movements, it should be fine. 】
When Jiang Sheng saw Xue Mu coming over, a happy smile appeared on his face.
After he came over, Jiang Sheng explained: "I hid the gold and silver jewelry behind the statue in the City God's Temple."
Xue Mu listened, then nodded: "I understand."
Jiang Sheng then gasped and said: "I am alone and have no worries in this world, but if you can, I hope you will go to Jiangjia Village in the future and help me take care of an old man in a thatched hut on the east side of the village. When I was a child, She was the one who took me in and took care of me, but now it would be considered unfilial to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person."
"Okay." Xue Mu agreed.
Then, he walked out of the cell.
After waiting for a while, he came to the City God's Temple alone.
Turn over the floor tile behind the temple statue and open the baggage hidden inside.
Not long after, he found a lot of money.
Judging from the texture, most of them are gold.
If he could take all of this back, Xue Mu might be able to rest easy for the rest of his life.
But he didn't do that.
Once they are all taken back, Song Wu will not be able to make any difference.
Then he won't be able to stay in prison. Having money but no strength is not a safe thing after all.
As long as the strength is improved, the so-called money, power, and women are no longer a problem.
When he thought of women, Xue Mu realized a problem.
He is blind and seems to have never seen women in this world.
"Forget it, let's talk about it later. When the time comes, I'll ask for a wife when I have money. As long as the hand feels good, being blind will have the same effect as turning off the lights."
Xue Mu fumbled around, took two pieces of gold and put them in his pocket.
Put the baggage away again and put the floor tiles back in place.
As long as he is sure that there is money here, he can rest assured.
Of course, Xue Mu did not intend to tell Song Wu about this.
night.
Xue Mu returned home.
He was leaning on crutches and was about to open the door when a voice came from somewhere nearby.
"Oh, brother is back?"
Xue Mu's ears were very sensitive, and he immediately recognized the location of the owner of the voice.
He nodded slightly and asked, "Who are you?"
"Xiao Mu, you went on an errand for a few days and then forgot about me?!"
There was some complaint in this female voice, but there was a bit more coquettishness in the tone.
Xue Mu looked through the memories in his mind and seemed to think of his neighbors.
It was a widow.
Leng Mei.
Although he couldn't see it, he could roughly imagine the appearance of the woman in front of him with the faint body fragrance and the general outline.
She has a slender and graceful figure, and soft jade arms like snow lotus roots.
Of course, Xue Mu couldn't see any more specific details about her.
Leng Mei moved here half a year ago and sells tofu at the street corner.
Because of her good-looking appearance, she was also called "Tofu Xishi" by the people in this street.
Xue Mu didn't hear much about Leng Mei.
It seems that her parents have arranged a marriage for her, and Leng Mei is determined to refuse.
Just on the wedding day, the groom accidentally fell to death.
Her husband's family felt that Leng Mei was a scapegoat, so they kicked her out.
Despite this, Leng Mei felt a lot more relaxed.
Now she works alone at sunrise and breathes in every day, grinding tofu every day and enjoying her life alone.
Don't pay attention to other people's gossip.
Recalling this, Xue Mu slightly cupped his hands and said, "Sister Leng."
"Hey, don't call me sister, I'm not much older than you." Leng Mei looked at Xue Mu's appearance. He looked quite handsome, and she felt a little more happy in her heart.
"Sorry, Miss Leng."
After hearing this, Leng Mei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but when she saw that he looked like a wooden fish, she felt a little cute, so she said, "Let's call her sister, calling her Miss Leng is too unfamiliar."
Xue Mu asked politely: "Sister Leng...are you okay?"
"When your father was alive, he gave me a letter, saying that in case he passed away one day, he would give this letter to you." After saying that, Leng Mei took out a letter and handed it to Xue Mu.
Just as Xue Mu was about to take the letter, Leng Mei suddenly remembered something, and then cautiously probed: "Then...shall I read it to you?"
"Then there's Sister Lao Leng." Xue Mu thanked her.
"You're welcome~" Leng Mei peeked at Xue Mu while opening the envelope.
I have to say that the younger brother in front of me is quite handsome and has a slender figure.
It's a pity that he has an eye disease, otherwise he would have been a handsome young man.
After a while, the letter was completely opened.
Xue Mu asked: "Sister Leng, what was written in the letter?"
"The letter says..." Leng Mei frowned after reading it: "Your father asked you to leave Jingzhao Mansion."
"Leave Jingzhao Mansion?"
"Yes." Leng Mei explained: "There are only five words on it: Leave Jingzhao Mansion."
Xue Mu pondered, wondering about his father's intention in writing these five words.
Leng Mei then said to him: "Xiao Mu, your father probably doesn't want you to be an official. The officialdom is mixed, and you are young and ignorant, and you can easily be in danger."
Xue Mu refused: "Thank you Sister Leng for your concern. Except for Jingzhao Mansion, I'm afraid no one else is willing to hire a blind man like me."
"How about you do it with your sister?"
Leng Mei suggested: "I grind the tofu and you sell the tofu."
"Sister Leng, I still want to stay in the sky prison for a while. If there is really no way out in the future, I will come to seek refuge with my sister."
"Okay, okay~ By the way, wait a minute." After saying that, Leng Mei took out a small plate of tofu from the room and wanted to hand it to Xue Mu.
Xue Mu shook his head: "Sister Leng, no need, just keep the tofu by yourself. You can still make some money by selling it tomorrow."
"Hey, how much can these tofus cost? Take them and let me know how they taste after eating. I've been grinding them for a long time." After saying that, Leng Mei helped carry the tofus in.
"Sister Leng, please put the tofu on the table. I will put it away later." Xue Mu reminded.
"Okay, then remember to eat." After Leng Mei put down the tofu, she said a few words and left.
Under the moonlight, the enchanting back looks so colorful.
After closing the door, Xue Mu sat down.
I touched the tofu gently with the back of my hand.
Smooth and tender.
It can be seen that it was polished very carefully.
"I never expected that I would have a kind-hearted widow neighbor."
Although Leng Mei's concern gave Xue Mu a lot of warmth.
But he knows that the current crisis has not been resolved yet.
Will he be able to gain a foothold in Tianlao in the future, and why his father left a letter asking him to leave Jingzhao Mansion.
These questions were all placed in front of Xue Mu.
Not long after, Xue Mu was ready to rest.
Because tomorrow he is going to find He Yudian.
He is the immediate boss of these jailers!
