The door of Shu Shichu's room only had a bolt, which was not very secure. It would protect gentlemen but not villains. But now, Shu Shichu heard that the bolt was gently removed.
She held a silver needle dipped in drug in her hand, planning to kill them as soon as they came in.
After the door bolt was removed from the outside, the door opened quietly, and two thin people came in. They could not see the male and female clearly. Shu Shichu squinted his eyes and moved his hand lightly. A silver needle quickly shot at the two people.
The two people froze, and soon fell to the ground one after another. They didn't even make a move to defend or resist. It was obvious that their martial arts were not high. They didn't even realize that Shu Shichu was flying a hidden weapon, and they were hit. Got the move.
When Shu Shichu lit up the oil lamp, she saw two dirty people with unclear faces lying on the ground. She held up the oil lamp and looked forward carefully. She brushed the hair from their faces and squinted. He looked a little surprised, because these two people were not thieves who stole things or flower pickers who came to pick flowers, but the two wanted criminals who killed the governor's son.
The girl changed into a gray-black shorts worn by men. She also smeared ash on her face to hide her appearance, and her hair was spread loosely. She was obviously planning to disguise herself as a man to escape capture, but she didn't know how to escape to the inn. , and unfortunately found Shu Shichu's room.
As for the old man, his appearance was only roughly covered with ashes, and the rest didn't change much. If the patrol came, he would definitely be able to recognize him at once.
Shu Shichu looked at the two people who fainted and became worried, not knowing what to do with them.
If they were heinous sinners, Shu Shichu would have handed them over to the government to collect the reward without saying a word, but they were not. They only killed the governor's son to avenge their murdered sister and daughter. Shu Shichu In the past two days, I also learned from other people that the governor's son was a bad guy who did all kinds of evil. If these two people killed him, they could be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.
If she handed these two people over to the government, wouldn't she be scheming? Moreover, Shu Shichu herself is not an upright person who hates evil. In her opinion, it is normal to set a trap and kill the enemy, so she actually likes these two people who dare to resist and take revenge.
But these two people sneaked into her room and didn't know what they wanted to do. This made Shu Shichu a little unhappy. It was obvious that these two people either wanted to hide in her room or wanted to take advantage of her. She hated this kind of self-assertion. Someone who wants to take advantage of her.
Now, this contradictory mentality makes Shu Shichu not sure how to deal with them.
But she still took the antidote and woke them up first. Of course, it was a semi-antidote, which made them awake, but their mobility was not restored.
The two people soon woke up. When they opened their eyes and found themselves lying on the ground, they were startled and wanted to escape immediately, but they couldn't move. Looking around in panic, they saw people holding oil lamps and looking at them expressionlessly. Their end is at the beginning.
"What do you want to do?" The old man panicked for a while and found that he couldn't move. He knew that he was in trouble. Since what had happened and he was powerless, he had no choice but to calm down and asked Shi Chu fiercely.
"You should say that I'm here to ask you, right? Are you going to complain first and ask me about it?" Shu Shichu sneered, "This is my room, you sneaked in in the middle of the night, what bad things do you want to do? Keep killing people?!"
As soon as Shu Shichu said these words, both of them looked ugly, obviously realizing that Shu Shichu had recognized them as the people the governor had sealed off the city to search for.
"Girl, I'm sorry, please forgive our offense. We just want to find a place to hide, and we don't want to do anything to the girl..." Bai Xiuxiu's eyes immediately turned red, tears fell down, and she looked at Shu Shichu pitifully. He said, "We had no choice but to kill the evil man. If we hadn't killed him, he would have come to kill us. We are now desperate. The dog officer's search became more and more strict. We were so desperate that we found this place. Please have mercy on me, girl." Have mercy on us two people who are being persecuted by evil people..."
While crying, she looked at Shu Shichu with pleading eyes. Shu Shichu raised his eyebrows. This girl was quite smart and would show weakness to seek sympathy and protection.
"Girl, if that evil man doesn't die, I don't know how many innocent and pitiful women like my sister will be harmed by him! Especially a young and beautiful single woman like the girl, if he meets him, he will definitely rob her and take her... ..." Bai Xiuxiu continued to cry, "In our village alone, in just half a year, five girls were taken into the house by him, and three of them were tortured to death. My sister is one of them! You said, he Shouldn’t those who do such evil deeds deserve to be killed?”
She knew how to move with emotion and reason, and was very eloquent. She wanted to persuade Shu Shichu to help them.
Shu Shichu was really impressed by her cleverness, but she didn't want them to get through so easily, so she said: "I can help you, but what do you get in return? I'm not a good person, and I need to be paid for helping people. "
Bai Xiuxiu's eyes lit up when she heard that she could help him, but when she heard that she wanted to be paid, the light in her eyes dimmed again, because they were now fugitives and penniless.
"I, I don't have any money..." she said sadly and disappointedly, and then tentatively asked, "Can I pay it back later?"
Shu Shichu laughed angrily at her words: "Then if you have no future, wouldn't my efforts have been in vain?"
At this time, Old Man Bai, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up: "I have a fragmented treasure map with me. I wonder if I can use it as a reward?"
"Treasure map?" Shu Shichu raised his brows, a little surprised, but still interested, and asked, "Where did you get this treasure map? Is it fake and just used to fool me?"
Old Man Bai said: "I was too poor when I was young and went to a tomb with others. This treasure map was found in a tomb. It cannot be a fake."
"You found it when you were young? Then you haven't looked for it in the past few decades?" Shu Shichu asked again.
"I've looked for it, but I haven't found it. This treasure map is too mysterious and incomplete. I can't decipher it. I can't find the correct location at all." Old Man Bai answered honestly.
Shu Shichu's attitude towards the treasure was that it was dispensable, so she immediately lost interest and said, "Are you writing me a bad check? You have spent most of your life not finding the treasure, and I can't find it even if you give it to me." Arrived."
Old Man Bai was a little anxious: "I think the girl is not an ordinary person. Your abilities are definitely better than an ordinary old man like me. Just because I can't find you doesn't mean you can't find her."
