Legend of Shi’En - C20
“Baji, baji, baji, baji …”
“Eh, who made this sound?” He was still holding a broom in his hands. Raising his head, Shi En saw a fat little girl sitting on a tall branch of the peach tree, leaning on the tree trunk with her legs hanging outside. Without even turning her head back, she said, “It’s me, so what?
“Hey, hey, hey. How could I remember that Teacher was punishing both of us?” Shi En threw down the broom, and with nimble hands and feet like a monkey, he climbed up the peach tree like a wisp of smoke. He grabbed a bag of potato chips from the little fat girl’s hands, and threw a piece into his mouth.
“Haha! Serves you right! Who told you to ask for it without asking? Serves you right!”
“Pah pah pah! You’re actually so malicious! You know I can’t take even a bit of spicy food, yet you’re trying to trick me. Look at my Tathagata Buddha Staff.” Shi En broke a tree branch and rushed towards the little fatty girl who was taking pleasure in her misfortune. However, after staggering for a bit, he accidentally fell down from the tree.
Ah!” He woke up from his dream and saw Shu Xiaoxiao looking at him with disdain. Her gaze was as if she was looking at a trash can in the district. It was as if she was coldly looking at something that wasn’t even trash.
“Nightmares?”
“En…” “Right.”
“He must have done something shameful and it would be best if he didn’t wake up for the rest of his life.”
“F * ck, why do you say that? How did I offend you? Also, why do you come to my bedroom every morning?”
It had already been half a month since the Winter Solstice. For some reason, from that day on, Shu Xiaoxiao would appear in Shi En’s room every morning. This seemed to have already become a practice of the “Bu Gan House”. However, every time she spoke ill of him, Shi En would always have to think about whether he had offended her in some way. Or did she hate men? However, she didn’t treat Shang Qian, Snake, the opposing Uncle Wu, or even that male dog wandering the streets as she usually did, “I just woke up, why is my heart so noisy?”
When Shu Xiaoxiao left the bedroom, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a neatly folded set of clothes by the bedside. Sighing, he thought: Forget it, although Shu Xiaoxiao’s attitude towards him is not very good, but she can still take away the clothes that she wants to wash and change.
Shi En, who was not affected in the slightest, combed his hair, put on the silk scarf, wore the red robe that Shu Xiaoxiao had sent over, and shamelessly said to himself in the mirror: “It’s really different from the flirtatious slut outside, Sir Shi En.” After a while, he slowly went downstairs.
At this time, the white-haired Shang Qian and Shu Xiaoxiao had already packed their bags and were eating breakfast on the table. Seeing that Shi En came downstairs at this time, with a dumpling in his mouth, Shu Xiaoxiao nodded to greet him. Shang Qian, on the other hand, was eating noodles while praising the quality of his’ Bu Gan House ‘. His words mentioned that on the days he went out to take a mission, he would eat nothing but crude food every day. Seeing Shi En coming down the stairs, and seeing his outfit today, Shang Qian said happily: “Brother Shi En is so handsome today, different from the flirtatious slut outside.”
He didn’t know if Shang Qian was talking about him from the bottom of his heart or mocking him. Although Shi En was thick-skinned, hearing him say this, it made him feel a little embarrassed. He was thinking that the matter of him being narcissistic in his room early in the morning, it couldn’t be that Shang Qian, the White-haired Boy, heard it, right? Be careful next time.
Fortunately, Shu Xiaoxiao had helped them out, and called Shi En to eat breakfast with them.
Shi En did not bother to be polite with them, as he used the soy milk and youtiao to eat several big bowls. Snake went out and returned at this time. Seeing Shi En’s hungry look, he pouted and called him over helplessly. Shi En came in front of him and asked, “What’s wrong? Snake? Any other orders? ”
Snake did not speak, he only fiddled with the collar on Shi En’s neck a few times, and then took out a black wooden plate from the counter. Shi En took a closer look, and realised that he was holding a spirit tablet, and thought to himself, What an unlucky morning. Snake said to him in a deep voice: “I will give you guys a month’s time for this trade. If you don’t return in a month, I will take you as dead.”
After saying that, Snake placed the spirit tablet on Shi En’s face. Only then did Shi En see the words “Disciple Shi En’s spirit tablet” written on the tablet.
Fuck, Snake is cursing me to die! Shi En still had a lot of resentment in his heart, he pouted and asked, “What month?”
Shang Qian walked over and explained: “Brother Shi En, you don’t know, in the end, we are all still Lao Zhang’s slaves and we all have Slave Collar s on our necks. You also know that us Slave Collar normally triggers mechanisms the moment we leave the Qin Huai Residential Quarters for more than two hours, unless Lao Zhang personally unlocks it for us like this.”
“Usually when we go on missions this far away, Lao Zhang would give us a time limit. As long as we return to the Qin Huai Residential Quarters within the specified time, we would be safe. Otherwise, the three of us would all die here.” Shu Xiaoxiao, who was being set up by Snake, rolled his eyes and explained to him. Snake also nodded and said to Shi En after hearing what he said: “This is a test of your abilities based on the Bu Gan House. After all, the ‘Bu Gan House’ does not support idle people.”
After finishing breakfast, Snake called Shu Xiaoxiao into the account room to get a plate of food. After calculating the time, the three of them arrived at the entrance of the district and waited. A black car stopped in front of them, and a lean man got out of the cab. It was the guest they had met half a month ago. He greeted the three of them, picked them up, and drove in the direction of the Forbidden City.
Along the way, he told the three people a few things that they should take note of, but Shi En did not pay attention to what he was saying, he thought that as long as the Uncle Huzha was safely brought to the main rudder, it would be over. As he thought about this, he asked, “About that, big brother guest, are you coming with us today?” The customer who was driving shook his head and said: “No, there’s no one. You’re escorting only us, Li Tianwang alone, plus me, what’s the point of doing so. Is it not, there’s also someone who can call me A’Gui, there’s no need for guests or guests to call me.”
Shi En thought about it carefully. There would be dangers along the way, if he added this Ah Gui, then it would inevitably increase the difficulty of this mission. Actually, Shi En really wanted to tell Ah Gui, why don’t you come along, just remember to increase the money. But he only dared to say these words in his heart. Who knew that Shu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting on his right side, would slowly say it out loud, “How about you come along with A’Gui?
Shi En started to sweat profusely, thinking that Shu Xiaoxiao could not have the ability to pry into the hearts of others.
A’Gui, who was driving, only smiled and did not pick up Shu Xiaoxiao’s words. The carriage went all the way to the forbidden city. A’Gui gave some instructions when they arrived and then left by himself, saying that Li Tianwang would find a place to meet up with the three of them later. Shi En and Shang Qian, who were very happy to see them, sat on the driver’s seat and the first passenger’s seat. As it was Shi En’s first time entering this prosperous city, they were a little bit excited, especially after seeing the Great Ming Imperial City in front of them.
Shi En remembered that during his childhood days in the private school, he would often follow the teacher in the private school to the street to help an old man pick up scraps. That old grandpa said that his surname was Ye and that he loved to tell stories. At the very least, he boasted that when he was young, he had sparred with another swordsman in the Forbidden City. After hundreds of rounds, both sides decided to use their strongest moves to decide the outcome. Unfortunately, at the critical moment, Lord Ye lost because his sword was a little bit shorter than the opponent’s sword.
He lost his reputation, his rights, and his women. In the end, he decided to leave the Jianghu and become a scavenger. Fortunately, the heavens were merciful to him. He had learned a martial art in his dream and created a set of eighteen palm techniques.
When the young Shi En was engrossed with what he heard, he asked Master Ye what the name of the palm technique was. Master Ye said that he did not have the time to call him Master Ye, but seeing that he was fated to be with Shi En, he turned his palm techniques and his previous set of sword techniques into a book and sold it to Shi En for one tael of silver. Afterwards, Shi En made a copy of it, and charged them 50% per day to sell it among the children in the private school.
“BOOM!”
The door was opened without reason, and a stranger wearing a mask and dark glasses barged into the carriage. Seeing that Shi En and the other two had made a gesture for them to be on guard, he had a face full of doubt, so he took off his mask and sunglasses. Shi En looked very familiar. The Uncle Huzha opened his mouth and said, “Hungry (me) Li Tianwang. You people are employees of the ‘Bu Gan House’, right? ”
Shi En and the others nodded, but their eyes were still filled with hesitation. Shu Xiaoxiao took out a photo from his bag and compared it with it, causing Shi En to hold his chin as he thought hard, “This person does not look like the person in the photo, but he said that he is Li Tianwang.” Uncle Huzha took the photo in Shu Xiaoxiao’s hands, compared it to his own appearance, patted his head, and took out a toothpick that he placed in his mouth.
Aiya, Mr. Li, you’ve finally come. You’ve made us wait.” His benevolent attitude took a 180 degree turn. He took hold of Li Tian Wang’s hand obsequiously and said, “Mister Li is indeed very young, with the wisdom of a settled nation, ancient man Yun, and a crouching dragon. Now that you have Mister Li, it’s like the heavens are blessing me, saving my life.
As the proverb goes, to wear thousands of clothes, this was something that Shi En learned from Snake during his half a month of stay in Bu Gan House. First, he had to get rid of this terrifying explosive boss’s stinky feet, and after the mission ended, they would distance themselves from each other. He was actually worried that Li Tianwang would destroy the bridge after crossing it, so as to conceal the position of the main rudder of his organization and kill him. Under Shu Xiaoxiao’s intense disdain, Shi En continued to chat with him.
“Good Society (say) Good Society, then we won’t be in a hurry to leave. Let me show you what’s good.” With that, Li Tianwang took out a red button and pressed it.
“Rumble …”
