Qingshan County West City.
As the sun rises, the number of people on the streets gradually increases.
The West Market, which had been quiet for a night, began to be noisy for the day.
Antique shop Tianyizhai.
The white-bearded boss Jie Jia opened the door on time.
Start by carefully sweeping the already clean and tidy floor.
Then he meticulously wiped the ancient bookshelf, which was as clean as new.
He was stooped and his movements were slow but steady.
The whole person is filled with a sense of tranquility, which is in sharp contrast to the noisy flow of people outside the door.
Chi Chi!
A flash of black light passed by.
A pitch-black bird as big as a fist landed on Jie Jia's shoulder at some point.
Jie Jia seems to be used to this.
Regardless of the bird on the shoulder, until the last corner of the book rack is wiped. Then he reached out and grabbed the black bird, took off the small bamboo tube on its ankle, and pulled out the note.
Above it is a series of numbers with inexplicable meaning.
"Chen Mu, Chenjiacun, one hundred taels. Big business." Jie Jia sighed expressionlessly.
Hold the paper between your thumb and index finger and rub it gently.
With a streak of black ash flying, the note disappeared.
A young man in gray clothes walked into the store, nodded respectfully to Jie Jia, and then walked honestly behind the counter.
He took out a brand new gray cloth from his arms and put it on the chair, then carefully sat down.
Jiejia glanced at it and walked out of Tianyizhai expressionlessly.
The young man in gray suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
"I don't know which unlucky guy is so lucky that he is worthy of Mr. Jie Lao doing it himself." The young man in gray tsked his tongue in surprise.
His arm subconsciously wanted to put it on the counter, but it suddenly froze the moment it touched the table.
"I heard Mr. Jie is a germophobe. I...I'd better sit still." The young man in gray clothes quickly put his hands back on his knees with lingering fear.
As if he was forced to stand, he sat behind the counter in an orderly manner. Try not to touch any of the tables or chairs here.
Mr. Jie is the top killer on their first floor.
It would be such an injustice if he was killed because he soiled the counter!
…
The mountain behind Chenjiacun.
A long snake with red scales hung down from the branch, leaning forward to reach the bird's nest on the branch.
Woohoo...puchi!
The snake's head suddenly exploded.
The next moment, a figure suddenly shuttled past under the tree.
Chen Mu's cheetah usually runs in the mountains.
From time to time, his hands threw out stones.
There were holes in the palm-shaped leaves thirty meters away.
Nineteen meters away, a centipede suddenly broke into two halves on the ground.
Forty-three meters away, a wasp suddenly shattered into pieces.
Twenty-three meters away, a hare running happily just jumped up.
Phew!
A stone suddenly appeared and shot through his head.
"It can really be used for hunting!" Chen Mu appeared next to the rabbit and mentioned the hare happily.
After testing that the mountain forest environment can improve his training skills, Chen Mu tried to use locust stones for hunting.
"With this hand, I can finally alleviate the pressure of eating meat a little bit."
Meat prices are rising not just in Zhengtu, but in the entire Qingshan County.
Back at the hunter's cabin, Chen Mu began to handle the hare clumsily.
"I guess we will have to divide wild animals in the future, so let's start with this rabbit." Chen Mu thought happily.
…
In the forest above the hunter.
There is a tree with two people hugging each other.
Jie Jia was hunched over, standing on a branch as thick as an arm, with his hands behind his back.
Through the gaps in the leaves, he quietly watched Chen Mu who was busy in the open space in the distance.
"found it."
Jie Jia's heart was completely unmoved.
He has been a killer all his life, and killing people can no longer cause any psychological fluctuations in him.
There's just something weird about him.
Who did a weak scholar offend? Someone would spend a hundred taels of silver to buy his life.
"Forget it, it's just a goal."
"Did he accidentally fall to death or accidentally swallow the poisonous fruit?"
"Death from a poisonous insect bite doesn't seem so bad."
"There are twenty three types of poisonous insects in the southern mountains of Qingshan County. The wounds of the bungara snake are too large, and the copper coin spider's movement is too slow, so it is unlikely to actively hurt people."
"Well, the golden-winged bee's venom tail stinger is slender and highly toxic. Use silver needles to quench the venom and disguise it as a bee sting, so it can be fake."
call!
A gust of breeze blew by, and the armor disappeared.
All that was left was a swirling leaf floating down.
…
"Later life!"
Chen Mu, who was unfamiliar with skinning and removing the hare, couldn't help but turn his head.
I saw an old man with a stooped back walking from the path.
The old man's beard and hair are white but carefully combed, and his steps are slow but steady.
His clothes were clean and tidy, and he looked like he was not an Orion farmer.
"Young man, can you give me some clean water?" The old man bent down and walked slowly along the path to the front of the Orion hut.
"Old sir, why are you still running up the mountain at such an old age?" Chen Mu asked in confusion.
"Despite my age, I'm still in good health." The old man retorted.
"I'm a doctor, and I came to the mountains to collect medicine." The old man explained with a smile.
doctor? Collecting herbs?
Why didn’t you carry a medicine basket when collecting herbs?
Forget it, it’s just a sip of water.
"Wait a moment." Chen Mu agreed and washed the blood off his hands.
He walked into the wooden house to dry his hands, took off his water bag and came to Jie Jia.
"Old man, please." Chen Mu held the bulging water bag with both hands and handed it to the old man.
Jie Jia looked at the approaching Chen Mu with a smile, and a silver light flashed from his right hand behind his back.
He stretched out his right hand and reached for the water bag.
Suddenly, a black shadow fell from the sky.
Chi Chi!
A fist-sized black bird suddenly landed on Jie Jia's shoulder.
Jie Jia couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Xuanniao is Zhu Yilou's contact information bird.
When this moment comes suddenly, something must have changed in the mission.
The fake smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
He reached out and took off the bamboo tube and took out the note.
"The employer dies and the mission is cancelled?"
Jie Jia looked at Chen Mu expressionlessly: "You are very lucky."
Chen Mu looked at the other party with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean, father-in-law?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid." Jie Jia stared at Chen Mu expressionlessly: "You have lime powder hidden in your sleeves, right?"
"I misunderstood, it's just a sachet." Chen Mu took out a bag from his sleeve and said sincerely.
"When I used lime powder to kill people, you weren't even born yet." Jie Jia snorted coldly.
"I really misunderstood. If you don't believe me, I can open it and show it to you." Chen Mu looked serious.
"If you dare to open the bag and sprinkle it on me now, I will kill you immediately!" Jie Jia stared at Chen Mu coldly.
"Oh, father-in-law, you have misunderstood me too much. I am really not that kind of sinister person." Chen Mu put the bag back into his cuffs with a look of helplessness.
"You are lucky. The employer who killed you is dead. I never do business at a loss. You can rest assured." Jie Jia said calmly.
Chen Mu looked at Jie Jia in shock: "Kill me? My father-in-law really knows how to joke. I'm just a scholar. How could someone kill me?"
"Duty? What kind of dutiful scholar carries a lime powder Yinren with him?" Jie Jia sneered.
As he spoke, he reached out to pick up Chen Mu's water bag.
He came all the way, looking for people and preparing assassination methods, and he was indeed a little thirsty.
"Forget it, people's prejudice is like a big mountain. It can't be moved away. No matter how I explain it, you won't believe it." Chen Mu walked back to the wooden house lonelyly carrying the water bag.
Jie Jia got nothing in his hands: "Hey... this stubborn scholar."
"It's not like I'm really doubting it, right?"
"Does that smell like lime?"
"No!" Jie Jia's face darkened: "Isn't this little bastard poisoning the water?"
Is your prejudice as big as a mountain?
They look so similar!
