Legend of Shi’En - C71
Late at night, in a dark alley.
After Xu Zengshou heard the news from Chen Fei’s side, he acted alone and sneaked into the house. The door was locked from the outside, Xu Zengshou kicked the door and entered, he saw the terrified Young Man dressed in luxurious clothing.
Xu Zengshou closed the door and walked in front of Young Man, saying indifferently: “Yo, isn’t this Master Shen’s nephew, who is as rich as a nation? We haven’t seen each other for a few years, and he has already grown up.
“Ai, I’ve waited ten years for this day. It’s really long.” Suddenly, an old and bitter voice sounded from within the small room.
An old man walked out from the shadows. When he clearly saw Xu Zengshou’s face, he looked as if he had aged twenty years in an instant.
Xu Zengshou raised his head. When he saw the old man’s appearance, he suddenly felt uneasy in his heart. Especially when he noticed that one of the old man’s sleeves was empty, he immediately asked, “It’s been more than ten years, but I didn’t expect you to have aged so much that your hair was completely white. How come one of your hands is missing? “Why is that?”
“Why not? Old Zhu’s family cut it. ”
The calm tone of the old man contained the deepest hatred. He had dreamt countless times that all the people who had caused him such misfortune would one day tremble in fear in front of him.
Every day, he would pray to the heavens that before he saw that person, he would make sure that person’s body was healthy and unharmed, and that he would not die.
Because one day, he would stand in front of him and let him see how the river and mountain he fought for would be destroyed.
“Did you come to find me because of that Underground Fighting Ground? I advise you not to get into trouble. ”
“I came here today to seek confirmation of a matter.”
The old man quietly listened to what Xu Zengshou had to say.
“Is my father the Zhu Clan’s doing?”
The old man did not answer Xu Zengshou. Instead, he closed his eyes, as if he was recalling something. Then he sighed and said, “Is there a need to know this? So what? So what if it wasn’t? Aren’t you just a dog of the Old Zhu Family? ”
Hearing the old man’s words, Xu Zengshou was not angry at all. Instead, he took a stance with the intention to capture Young Man, who was the closest to him. It was a pity that he missed a move, but the moment he touched the corner of Young Man’s clothes, he felt a scorching heat attack him.
Looking at the fierce fire inside the small hut, Xu Zengshou had no choice but to escape to save his life, as for the old man and Young Man, they had long disappeared without a trace. As soon as he stepped out of the cabin, he saw more than a dozen people pointing their weapons at him. Xu Zengshou laughed in disdain, he took out his long blade from his waist and suddenly attacked the ten over people in front of him. In a moment, there were more than ten wounds on the ground, each of them had a bloody wound on their back.
“The enemy really doesn’t show his tail at all.” Xu Zengshou sat on one of the injured men and muttered with his head down, “It’s useless to be beaten up like this by Little Luo.”
Xu Zengshou turned his head to look at the little house burning with thick smoke and said somewhat helplessly: “Isn’t the commotion a little too big this time?”
At this moment, a person walked out from behind him, “You didn’t forget to work during the long vacation. You really put in a lot of effort. As your colleague, I’m sorry to have troubled you.”
When Xu Zengshou heard this person’s familiar voice, he was stunned for a moment before turning around to look at him. Behind the man was a Sword Box. Both of its hands were crossed in front of its chest and its body was leaning against the wall, its tone full of anger: “How come I didn’t know that you loved work so much?”
“Inspector Xiang, you came too?”
That’s right, this person was the one known as the “Live Overlord” Xiang Gong, one of the Imperial Guard s commanding Inspector.
He said unhurriedly: “That’s right, if we don’t come soon, our Imperial Guard might all be expelled in a few days.”
Hearing that, Xu Zengshou asked suspiciously: “Boss knows too?”
Xiang Gong shook his head, and said: “He went on a long journey, I haven’t told him about this yet.”
Hearing that, Xu Zengshou heaved a sigh of relief, in his life, he had only been afraid of two people, one was his own father, but he had already gone to sell salted duck eggs, and the other was his superior, the one in charge of Imperial Guard, Guo Zhen.
Xu Zengshou stood up, he shook his legs and wiped the blood off his blade, then asked suspiciously: “Inspector Xiang, where did you find out about me?”
Xiang Gong took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and began to smoke contentedly: “It’s Zhang Dapao from the ‘Bu Gan House’, he quickly delivered a letter to, and a few treasures said that he would not do this business of yours, so I’ll give you ten times the compensation. After I figure out what happened, I’ll board a private ship and risk my life and death to come here, it’s really not easy to find you.”
As he said that, he blew out a smoke ring towards the sky, “Tomorrow, you can go and find the group of people from Bu Gan House. I want to meet them for a while.” With that, Xiang Gong leisurely left.
When Shi En woke up the next morning, he had just opened his eyes when he saw Shu Xiaoxiao looking down at him with that kind of expression, as if he had just finished going to the toilet and had turned around to look at Mutian.
“You’re awake?”
“Oh, yeah.”
“How great it would be if you didn’t wake up!”
It was this kind of conversation every morning, and it made Shi En feel like his days were circulating unceasingly. In order to break this situation, Shi En decided to say something different than before. He then started to speak: “I’m talking about Shu Xiaoxiao.”
“Yes, what’s the matter?”
Shi En paused, “I want to say, I have always wanted to ask you this question. That, why do you always stand by my bed every morning, rain or shine, and watch me wake up?” Shi En thought, if you came to wake me up, then you should have used some normal method, but it didn’t seem like it. Shu Xiaoxiao seemed to have been standing there waiting for him to wake up.
Shu Xiaoxiao did not say a word, and calmly looked at Shi En.
After being silent for a while, she still did not say a word, and quietly stared at Shi En.
Half a day later, Shu Xiaoxiao was still silent.
Shi En could not hold it in any longer. He opened his mouth and said, “Um …”
Before he could even finish his sentence, he heard Shu Xiaoxiao say, “What rule in the Great Ming Law says that I have to answer your questions?”
“Uh, no.” Shi En thought: But there’s a strict rule that we can’t casually violate other people’s privacy rules!
“It’s a pity, you and I are both people of ‘Bu Gan House’. Even though I feel extremely regretful, coming to confirm that you’re still alive every morning is my primary task.” After saying that, she folded a set of clothes and placed it beside Shi En’s bed, continuing: “Honestly speaking, I also want to slack off, but as a Established Staff of the ‘Bu Gan House’, it is necessary for me to take care of the new employees.”
“Ehh, next time just wake me up. Don’t just stand there.”
Shi En saw the corner of Shu Xiaoxiao’s mouth rise slightly after he finished speaking, and playfully asked: “Are you sure?”
Shi En was startled by her smile, “Eh, of course I’m sure, is there something wrong?”
Shu Xiaoxiao sized Shi En up from head to toe, then nodded and said, “Understood. If you dream about something that will cause a white liquid to drip from your body next time, I’ll wake you up immediately.”
Shi En shouted with a flushed face: “Hey, hey, hey, when did I get that white liquid!”
Shu Xiaoxiao squinted his eyes, and asked suspiciously: “Don’t tell me there isn’t any?”
Shi En spoke in a hurry, “Of course not! “Eh, but, forget it, you should wake up when I wake up!” He suddenly recalled the dream he had had on the barren mountain when he and his goddess Liu Qian Mei galloped their horses through the grasslands. The next morning, he went to wash his pants.
“Mhmm, did he remember something?”
Shi En’s expression was somewhat reserved as he said: “No, I didn’t. I’m going to change. ”
Shu Xiaoxiao did not go out. She stood there with her almond-shaped eyes looking straight at Shi En, sighed, and asked with a sad tone: “I have something to ask you, before you … Haven’t you seen me? ”
“…” “Huh?”
Shu Xiaoxiao looked straight into Shi En’s eyes, he felt that Shu Xiaoxiao was not joking.
Facing the speechless Shi En, Shu Xiaoxiao continued to speak: “When I was young, did you have any impression of me on a luxurious cruise?”
Shu Xiaoxiao’s tone seemed to be urging. Seeing that she was so serious, Shi En tried his best to recall that when he was eight years old, he had always been living in a private school. Afterwards, he was dragged by the Old Bastard Master to a barren mountain.
Shi En pursed his lips, recalled, and said: “No.”
Shu Xiaoxiao looked very surprised, “Are you serious? Really not? “Think back carefully …”
Shi En interrupted somewhat impatiently: “I’ve thought about it seriously, I really haven’t. Can I ask you to go out now? I really need to change my clothes. ”
“Hu, alright then. I will continue to do what I have done in the past.”
“I know, I know!”
“I’ll go outside. You can change your clothes as soon as possible and come out to eat.”
With a “bang” sound, Shu Xiaoxiao walked out of the room.
Shi En suddenly thought back to what Shu Xiaoxiao had said before he left. She was still doing what she had done in the past, so did that mean that he would still be this worried when he woke up in the future? He sighed and thought, why is Shu Xiaoxiao tormenting so much? However, he always felt that every morning when he woke up from his nightmare, he would always feel as if he was surrounded by something warm. It was very comforting and comforting.
