The streets are crowded with people and lively. The girls competed in front of the rouge jewelry stall, and the aunts were picking and choosing in front of the pork stall. Business was booming at every stall, but no one dared to approach Lou Shuitian's bamboo basket stall.
Uncle Chen stayed in the Duhu Mansion for two days and felt uncomfortable in his legs and feet, so he didn't come to the stall today. But he couldn't put down his few baskets, so Lou Shuitian had no choice but to come out for him.
As a result, when people saw Lou Shuitian, not only did they not dare to come forward, but they also started talking about him.
"She is the girl who killed the horse..."
"Not only that, she also helped the Protectorate solve the case..."
"Who is she?"
"I heard from my brother in the county government a few days ago that she is a member of the best gang in the world..."
"The best gang in the world? Are you a storyteller?..."
"You can easily kill a horse. It's not someone to be trifled with. It's better to leave quickly."
Lou Shuitian looked calm and narrowed his eyes.
Luzhou is not a big place, so a small incident can spread a lot, let alone something like this happening in a busy city.
There is no business in one day.
Seeing that it was getting late, she picked up her load and walked back. As soon as she got up, she noticed the movement in the deep alley, so she changed her mind. She walked around East Street, West Street, South City and North Market, taking a look at every stall, looking curious about the whole world.
Although the people on the street were frightened, they did not dare to say anything and looked at her cautiously.
After walking for a while, Lou Shuitian turned around and walked into the alley when he still didn't shake off his tail. When I wanted to go forward, I found that it was a dead end.
"Sure enough, it's you, Lou Shisan!" A sinister voice sounded from behind.
Lou Shuitian slowly put down his burden, turned around, saw the person coming, and smiled: "You're fine, Mr. Zhang."
Three or four people were blocked at the exit of the alley. The leader was Zhang Hewu, the boss of Huitong Escort Agency. A few years ago, Lou Shuitian worked for Yun Xianshan and robbed a truck of goods from their escort agency, breaking his brother Zhang Heliu's hand tendons. Later, he heard that no miracle doctor could be found, and both hands were disabled.
The people from the escort agency wanted to avenge him, but they were afraid of Yun Xianshan's power and did not dare to take action. Later, they heard that Lou Shisan had left Yunxian Mountain, so they searched everywhere, but there was no trace of him in the past five years. Not long ago, they heard that a woman had killed a horse with her bare hands in Luzhou, so they searched for her, and sure enough they found her.
Zhang Hewu's face was wrinkled and he looked fierce.
He had already paid attention to the surroundings, but now this little girl was alone. They and their brothers came together. Are they still afraid that they would not be able to get revenge?
"Do you still remember Zhang Heliu? Back then you broke off one of his hands. Today I want you to break off his hands and feet to pay for it!"
"What you said is really funny. Yun Xianshan has never cared about Jianghu affairs, but you are the ones who want to provoke me. I am just following orders. Besides, since I am following Yun Xianshan's orders, you should be the first to bear the blame. I have a master who wants to seek revenge from Yunxian Mountain. What do you want from me?"
"Without further ado!"
Zhang Hewu and a group of others raised their knives and came at them. When Lou Shuitian saw this, he sighed, and when he raised his eyes again, his eyes were sharp...
A quarter of an hour later, Lou Shuitian walked out of the alley. She patted herself, turned around half-way, and said:
"Don't say I didn't tell you. There is a doctor at the end of West Market Street who specializes in treating bruises. If you get there late, he will close the shop."
After that, she still carried the burden and left.
Staring at her leaving figure, Zhang Hewu, who was beaten to the ground, cursed bitterly: "Damn it!" Several of their brothers came together, but they were still no match for her.
"Brother! Are you okay?"
Zhang Hewu didn't answer, but his eyes became increasingly sinister, "She's here anyway, I don't have to worry about finding a chance to teach her a lesson... Let's go back!"
The next day, after Lou Shuitian left the stall and was about to go home, he found someone following him again.
"Again?" Lou Shuitian thought with a headache.
So she walked to the river and looked at the sparkling river in trance.
"We've followed you all the way, aren't you bothered?" Lou Shuitian suddenly said after the last water bird flew away from the river.
There was no one around. Her voice came out empty, and no echo was heard.
She was not in a hurry and still looked at the water calmly.
After a while, a man walked out from the bushes ten meters away behind him.
It's actually Ying Shuichang from the Annan Protectorate? !
Lou Shuitian raised his eyebrows.
"When did you discover me?" Ying Shuichang asked.
"Ever since you were staring at my stall at the teahouse. There was so much movement, do you really think you hid it well?" Lou Shuitian curled his lips.
Ying Shuichang, dressed in brown clothes, took a few steps forward and saluted with clasped fists: "Miss Lou, we adults would like to invite you to come to our house to express our gratitude to you for helping to seize Nanzhao's secret works hidden in the Central Plains."
gratitude? That's really nice to say.
Lou Shuitian smiled coolly: "What if I don't go?" The Annan Protectorate took Uncle Chen away without any reason, and she hadn't settled the score with them yet.
Ying Shuichang didn't speak, just stared at her, but his meaning was already obvious.
If they can take Uncle Chen away once, they can take him away a second time.
Lou Shuitian finally turned to look at him, with a cold look in his eyes.
"I hate when people threaten me."
Ying Shuichang clenched the sword in his hand.
Even though Lou Shuitian's martial arts skills are unfathomable, they have never fought before, so he doesn't necessarily have no chance of winning.
Seeing him like this, Lou Shuitian suddenly smiled brightly, put his hands back, looked up at the sky and said lazily: "I know it's not me you are interested in. But you are looking for the wrong person when you are looking for me. .”
"Miss Lou, you misunderstood." Jiang Qintian walked out of the woods.
Ying Shuichang turned around and saluted him respectfully, "Protector."
Lou Shuitian raised his eyebrows, why is he here too?
Jiang Qintian looked at Lou Shuitian.
"Although Miss Lou has left Yunxian Mountain, as far as I know, you made a lot of grudges when you were a shadow guard. Now that the tribute horse incident has exposed your identity, once your old enemies come to your door, you will You alone, even with your three heads and six arms and your profound martial arts skills, will not be able to protect the elders in your family."
It seems that he also checked himself, and even found out that she had left Yunxian Mountain.
Lou Shuitian frowned calmly.
"What do you want to say?"
"We are not threatening you, but negotiating terms with you." Jiang Qintian said, "As long as you are willing to enter the Duhu Mansion to work for me, the elder in your family, Jiang and the entire Duhu Mansion will protect him and have a safe and smooth life. , never break your promise.”
"Why are you looking for me?"
"Miss Lou's martial arts is indeed extraordinary, a rare encounter."
Lou Shuitian stared at him, speechless for a long time. She knew that she was not very attractive, and what they only valued was Yunxianshan's reputation. But now that he already knows that he has left Yunxian Mountain, what is the purpose of coming to win over him?
"This is not a loss-making deal for Miss Lou. I hope you will consider it carefully."
Lou Shuitian lowered his eyes.
Jiang Qintian was right. When she was a shadow guard in Yunxian Mountain, she was involved in a lot of political affairs. In the past few days, she was really worried about enemies coming to her door. With the support of the Annan Protectorate, Uncle Chen could at least be saved.
Furthermore, she only had two months left to live. Since we always have to say goodbye, it's just right to take advantage of this opportunity.
Thinking of this, Lou Shuitian already had the answer.
