Chang Sheng stood on the official road, holding flowers in his hands, watching Yan Sihai busy on the roadside, with an angry look on his face.
From the moment he left Qingzhou, Yan Sihai had been plucking her hair, kneading her hair with some strange powder, and constantly sprinkling it on the roadside.
"Old Yan, you almost made me bald!"
Chang Sheng said angrily.
Yan Sihai smiled mysteriously and said
"This is a show of force."
Chang Sheng cursed angrily
"What kind of show of force? I think you are trying to scare me."
Yan Sihai stopped fighting with Chang Sheng. He looked at the front of the official road and said lightly:
"Qingzhou is very close to Taiyang. According to our speed, we can reach Taiyang City by tomorrow at the latest. I just hope nothing happens along the way."
However, before he finished speaking, he saw three black shadows suddenly shooting out from the side of the official road. They were all dressed in black and masked, holding long swords, and their eyes showed murderous intent.
Chang Sheng glanced at Yan Sihai
"Did you go to Xiangguo Temple to have your mouth opened?"
Yan Si's face does not change color
"Sheng Wazi, don't talk nonsense, it's just a coincidence."
The three black shadows suddenly dispersed, two people jumped to both sides to attack, and one of them came directly to face Chang Sheng.
Seeing that the two of them were surrounded, the corners of Yan Sihai's mouth slightly raised, but he saw three poisonous snakes suddenly emerged from his body and attacked the three of them respectively.
Unexpectedly, when the three people saw the poisonous snake, they did not avoid or dodge. They were not afraid of the poisonous snake. A trace of surprise flashed in Yan Sihai's eyes, but he saw that although the three people used swords, their swords were neither fast nor fast. Not cruel, looking carefully at the hands of the three people, there are no calluses in the tiger's mouth that are common among sword practitioners.
"not good!"
Yan Sihai shouted low, grabbed Chang Sheng beside him, and quickly stepped back.
Three poisonous snakes bit three people head-on. Although the three people had their faces covered, Chang Sheng saw with his own eyes that their eyes suddenly became bloodshot, which was extremely terrifying.
"puff!"
After the three people were bitten, they looked like deflated rubber balls. Their bodies exploded, and their internal organs flew everywhere and blood covered the ground.
Then, the most terrifying thing was not the same. After they exploded, three streams of red mist actually emitted from their bodies, instantly covering the place where Yan Sihai and Chang Sheng were.
Chang Sheng had big beads of sweat on his forehead. Looking at the internal organs on the floor, the stench suddenly hit him.
"vomit."
She almost vomited it out, but she just retched and slowly recovered.
Now she has seen more and more, and her mental endurance has become stronger.
"Sheng Wazi has grown up a lot."
Lao Yan on the side looked at her calmly.
Chang Sheng met Yan Sihai's eyes without showing any signs of weakness and said firmly
"I can't hold back any longer."
As she said that, she looked at the ground again, her expression becoming calmer.
"These people are so ruthless that they actually use their bodies as tools for poisoning."
Yan Sihai said
"It fits the style of doing things on the 12th floor."
Chang Sheng looked at Yan Sihai seriously
"Old Yan, how did you find out there was something wrong with them?"
Yan Sihai Road
"They were holding swords, but they obviously didn't know how to use them. I was trying to stab me, but naturally it couldn't be so simple and crude. Then the three of them could only be a trap. They refused to dodge the poisonous snakes I released. I I even felt that something was fishy, so to be on the safe side, I decided to avoid the spotlight for the time being."
Chang Sheng nodded. She also felt that the three people were too straightforward. It was too stupid to jump in front of them and take action when they clearly had the opportunity to take advantage of them.
"It seems that it is indispensable to be with them on this journey."
Chang Sheng said lightly
Yan Sihai sneered
"It seems that some people don't want you to enter Taiyang City alive."
Chang Sheng smiled slightly, her three thousand black hair fluttering in the wind, and the immortality flower buds she held in her hand were so beautiful. She looked towards the official road in the distance, her eyes becoming more determined.
The two continued to move forward. About an hour later, another figure appeared in front of them.
The man was a bit stooped, with dark skin and an old face. He kept mumbling to himself, but he didn't know what he was talking about.
Although he looked old, his eyes were not as cloudy as those of ordinary old people.
Yan Sihai stretched out his hand to protect Chang Sheng behind him. He saw the man staggering, his eyes were distracted, and he was looking around, but it didn't look like he was cheating.
"This man shows his age. His eyes look like he is no more than thirty years old."
Chang Sheng said slowly.
The man didn't seem to see Chang Sheng and Chang Sheng opposite him. He just kept mumbling to himself, as if he was crazy.
Yan Sihai looked serious, and for some reason, looking at that man, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Just when he had this ominous premonition, suddenly, the light of the knife stabbed him so hard that he couldn't open his eyes.
"Gulu"
When the two of them saw the front clearly again, a human head rolled down in front of their feet.
The man's body was still standing in front, and blood sprayed upward from his neck in a fountain shape. The man's neck was already empty.
Two masked men in black holding knives stood nearby, the long knives in their hands dripping with blood and steaming.
Yan Sihai watched coldly, looking at the two masked men quietly.
The long knives in the hands of the two masked men flashed with blood, and they were attacking from both sides.
Yan Sihai waved his broad sleeves, and two Gu insects rose from the sleeves, letting out bloodthirsty groans and flying towards the two masked men.
But those two people obviously didn't move at all like the three people who died in the previous wave. They were the real assassins.
"Wow"
The sword flashed, and the two Gu insects were chopped to death by force. The sword technique was delicate and precise, extraordinary.
Yan Sihai was smiling
"You know how to play dirty, and so will we."
After the two Gu insects were killed, two groups of viscous yellow liquid splashed out. The two of them were caught off guard, and their eyes were splashed by the splashing liquid.
"ah!"
The screams suddenly came. The two covered their eyes and lay on the ground rolling in great pain.
After a while, blood slowly flowed between the fingers of the two people who were covering their eyes.
Yan Sihai looked indifferently, picked up the two knives on the ground, and stabbed each person, killing both of them.
"Repay the other person with his own way."
Chang Sheng said.
Yan Sihai was expressionless
"I did learn a lot of techniques from them."
But at this moment, another figure came running from the distance of the official road.
Chang Sheng took a closer look and saw that it was a child.
The child was only seven or eight years old. His face was full of tears. He was crying and running, and from time to time he was shouting
"Daddy! Daddy..."
Yan Sihai walked to Chang Sheng, looked at the child, and said lightly
"How about poisoning me first and then talking about it?"
Chang Sheng rolled his eyes at him
"Are you crazy to kill? You won't even let the children go."
Yan Sihai chuckled
"That's impossible to say for sure. On the twelfth floor, it is said that there is a department that specializes in training children to become killers. When that guy starts his attack, it's hard to prevent him."
The child ran not far in front of the two of them, hugged the headless body on the ground and cried bitterly.
"Daddy, daddy, wake up, I won't run around anymore, uh uh uh..."
Chang Sheng walked to the child and gently handed him a handkerchief, with a warm smile on his fair face.
The child raised his head and looked at the handed handkerchief with anger on his face. Before Chang Sheng could react, he rushed in front of him and beat Chang Sheng hard with his immature fists.
"Bad guy! You killed my father. Bad guy, I'll beat you to death!"
Chang Sheng was stunned, but saw the child being pulled behind him by Yan Sihai
"Little baby, your father was killed by these two men in black. What does it have to do with us?"
Yan Sihai carried the child to the two men in black.
The child looked at Yan Sihai, his eyes full of hatred, and shouted
"I don't care, even if you didn't kill him, you were the one who caused him to die. Otherwise, what are you doing here!"
Yan Sihai looked helpless and threw him aside.
"Ignore him, let's go."
Chang Sheng shook his head
"This kid is right. His father's death is indeed related to us."
With that said, she walked to the child, helped him up, wiped the dust and tears on his face, and said softly
"Brother, it is true that we did not kill your father. This is indeed a coincidence. Those two people came to kill me, but they killed your father by mistake."
The child broke away from Chang Sheng's hand and kept slapping Chang Sheng.
"I don't care, you are the one who killed my father. Oh, oh, oh, you have to pay for it."
Chang Sheng put down the flowers in his hand, held the child tightly in his arms, let the child cry, and just kept saying softly
"I'm sorry, it's my sister's fault."
The crying continued for a while, and the child, perhaps tired of crying, fell asleep deeply in Chang Sheng's arms.
Chang Sheng looked at Lao Yan and lowered his voice for fear of waking up the child.
"Lao Yan, please help bury this eldest brother."
Yan Sihai moved the body reluctantly and muttered:
"I've seen countless dead people in my life, and now I'm doing the job of collecting corpses."
After a while, the child woke up slowly. He sniffed gently and smelled a refreshing fragrance. He opened his eyes and found that he was still in Chang Sheng's arms.
"You're awake."
Chang Sheng's words seemed to carry a fragrance, which made him feel relieved. But then he thought that this might be his father-killing enemy, so he pushed him away again.
"Do you tube!"
Chang Sheng couldn't help laughing when he saw his appearance.
"Okay, baby, it's true that we didn't kill your father. If we had, how could you still be alive today?"
The kid still didn't buy it, put on a bad face, looked around, looking for his father's body, but found that his father's body and head were missing.
"Where's my dad!"
he said angrily
Chang Sheng patted his shoulder, and the child turned around, only to see Chang Sheng pointing to a high small slope in the distance beside the official road.
The child looked at it from a distance and struggled to climb to the small slope. There was a long wooden sign in front of it with words engraved on it. Although he was illiterate, he already understood that this was his father's tomb.
"In the middle of nowhere, I have to simply find a resting place for your father."
Chang Sheng walked behind him, patted the child's back gently, and sighed.
The child made a "pop" sound and knelt on the ground.
"father!"
The clear voice resounded throughout the world, and Chang Sheng and Yan Sihai stood silently behind them without saying a word.
The child held the wooden sign and cried for a long time. Finally he stood up again and turned his head, his lapels wet with tears.
"You have to take me with you."
The child looked at Chang Sheng and Yan Sihai with determined eyes.
"My father is gone, you have to take care of me."
Yan Sihai looked weird
"Hey, this kid is quite shameless."
Chang Sheng stopped Yan Sihai and asked
"Where is your family? Why are you and your father alone together? Where is your mother?"
The child's eyes suddenly became cold and stern, and he said calmly
"We were killed. The killer chased us all the way. In order to save me, my father led the killer away. I ran here and found that my father was dead."
Chang Sheng took a breath and looked at the child in front of her in disbelief. The cold and stern eyes did not look like a child of seven or eight years old. She had witnessed the tragic death of her parents in front of her eyes, but she was still so calm. She suddenly had feelings for the child. A sense of fear.
"So, why did you falsely accuse us when you knew your father was not harmed by us?"
Yan Sihai said coldly, his eyes like a poisonous snake, staring at the child, as if he was going to kill him at any time.
But the child was also calm and looked at Yan Sihai without any fear.
"How do I know you are not the same as those people?"
Yan Sihai laughed angrily
"Hahahaha, what a sinister boy. In that case, you go find your grandpa yourself. Let's go back to each other and have nothing to do with each other."
The child wiped the tears on his face and said
"You are good people and I want to follow you."
Chang Sheng chuckled
"Why do you think we are good people and you are not afraid that we will sell you to those killers along the way?"
The child shook his head and said
"No, my father said that people like us will never have a burial place when we die. You are willing to bury my father. This is what good people do."
Yan Sihai looked unkind and said to Chang Sheng
"We ourselves are in danger, and this kid is also being hunted. If we take him with us, we will be hunted by two waves of people."
Chang Sheng thought for a while and said to the child
"May I have your name."
The child held his head high and said
"As a man, I won't change my surname. My name is Zhou Xi'er."
Chang Sheng chuckled.
"Zhou Xi'er, why does this name look so girly?"
Zhou Xier said coldly
"Children from our poor families are not like your rich families who can't afford a wife even if they give birth to a boy. It is better to give birth to a girl. When she grows up, she can be sold to a rich family for a good price. My mother's son I already gave me a name before."
Chang Sheng was stunned and suddenly felt a sadness. Although she had been sick since childhood and had a bad life, her family never lacked for good food and clothing. She followed her brother and never experienced what it was like to live in poverty. No matter how dangerous it was, I never had to worry about eating or sleeping.
Zhou Xier saw Chang Sheng was silent, but then smiled and said
"Sister, there's no need to feel sorry for me. My family is in trouble. It's purely because my father is a gambler and has gambled away all the money in the family. He hopes to have a girl so that he can sell it to pay off his debts. If it weren't for my incompetent father, , with the wages my grandfather earned from working in a wealthy family, our family will not be in such poverty."
When Yan Sihai heard this, he immediately regretted erecting a monument for that person.
"Why did I collect the body of a rotten gambler?"
Chang Sheng felt something was wrong.
"Then why are those killers chasing you?"
Zhou Xier shook her head blankly
"I don't know. Who knows what trouble my dad caused outside? If it weren't for him, my mother wouldn't have died."
Yan Sihai said
"I think you are quite filial to your father."
Zhou Xier said proudly
"That's natural, that's my biological father."
Chang Sheng frowned. Yan Sihai saw that she looked wrong and said
"Let's go and leave him alone. Who knows which of this kid's words are true?"
Chang Sheng stopped Yan Sihai and asked again
"Where does your grandfather live?"
Zhou Xier thought for a while and hesitated.
"I don't know either. My father said he works for a wealthy family in Qingzhou."
Yan Sihai Road
"Then if we don't go along with you, it's better not to follow us."
Zhou Xier said
"I have never met my grandfather, and I don't have any feelings for him. I think it's better to follow you."
Chang Sheng frowned and thought for a while, then said
"Okay, you can follow us if you want, but you have to listen to me along the way."
Zhou Xier smiled happily and hugged Chang Sheng's arm obediently.
"Well, sister, don't worry, I won't run around."
