"Girl, do you regret it?"
"...I, I'll try my best..."
Chapter 1191: Retribution
Uncle Mo has some skills.
This can be seen from the fact that he faced several knife-wielding gangsters alone, attacking and defending with a dagger with ease.
Unlike the fancy moves in costume dramas that are designed for aesthetics, the real fighting scenes are actually very simple.
It means swinging the knife to chop and raising the knife to stab.
No one would be stupid enough to choose Calabash Brothers to save his grandfather, staggering and sending themselves to death one by one. Instead, they rush forward in a rush, and it is dangerous in all directions.
If you can react in time you can defend against it; if you can't react in time you will die.
Although the scene is not as shocking as the one where the ship girls launch planes and fire cannons, the blood spilled is rarely seen on the sea.
It was this point that made Su Xin a little hesitant.
In her previous life, her family was very poor and they could seldom eat meat. After she improved her life by customizing COS clothes, everything she bought was pre-made.
I have never touched blood in my life. I just watch Animal World or a Bite of China through the TV screen.
Suddenly switching to ancient times when human life was worthless, it is inevitable to feel at a loss.
I guess this is also the reason why Tiancheng left alone to deal with the plan.
But after Su Xin found a way to maintain her own self, she thought about this problem seriously. She didn't think that everything would be fine if she just let others bear all the annoying things.
It's bad enough that the maids are responsible for the cleaning and tidying up of the port area, but now they have to throw bloody things out. It's really heartless.
So she wanted to do it herself, but no one gave her a head start
Seeing that Uncle Mo was still in a stalemate with the robbers, Su Xin moved Sun from her arms to the seat next to her, sucked on the handkerchief soaked in wine, and knocked on the carriage to ask
"They are not refugees, right? They are not innocent people, right?"
The lady in the car asked weakly: "Ahem...girl, what do you want to know...?"
"I need a reason."
"Hehe... people like you are rare. Anyway, there are no mountains or forests around here, and carriages can pass by normally during the day, but they just stopped mine... ahem, do you understand?"
Su Xin understood. What she meant was that there was no place to live around here. Where did the bandits come from?
It was obviously an intentional ambush, either for the identity of the person in the car or for some other reason, it was definitely aimed at them.
All bad guys? That’s easy.
Su Xin rubbed Yang Yang's head, coaxed her to sit and wait facing the carriage curtain, then jumped off the carriage and rushed into the crowd.
She had no weapons and was not prepared to start a massacre, so she just kicked the gangsters a few times.
Due to their quick movements, the men who were besieging Uncle Mo could no longer maintain their balance before they could change their fire, and they fell to the ground with a thud.
Uncle Mo slashed each of them with his dagger quickly and decisively. After they stopped breathing, he tore off a piece of cloth to wipe the dagger.
"...Humph, your skills are pretty good, but unfortunately, you have a childish temper."
Su Xin held her breath and resisted the urge to retch. She turned and walked towards the carriage, leaving the other person touching the corpse.
She was actually in great pain, looking at the person who was breathing and talking standing in front of her, but she just couldn't break his neck.
It's really beyond the scope and a bit disgusting.
Sun, who was squatting quietly, saw her jump into the carriage and come back. He hurried over to sniff and smelled the familiar smell.
"Fragrant, call the tide, no fear.
"I'm not afraid." Su Xin lowered her eyes to look at her hands, which were surprisingly steady. "It's just... I'm not used to it yet."
The unwell lady in the carriage asked her gently, "Ahem...but is it over?"
"Yeah, it's over. Uncle Mo is cleaning up the scene."
"It seems that taking the girl with me is indeed... ahem, the right decision..."
Su Xin looked back at Uncle Mo, who was throwing the bodies into the bushes on both sides of the road, and then began to dismantle the roadblocks.
This rare moment of free time made her knock on the carriage, wanting to learn more about the master and servant.
"What's your name, can you tell me?"
"Well, Miss Tidecaller...are you planning to have an encounter with me?"
"From the moment I got on the car, I was already tied to you, right?"
"Not really, ahem... With your skills, no one can stop you wherever you go."
Commander Su Xiao didn't want to talk about this. Talking too much would make the [Virtual Port Area] that she had deliberately downplayed reappear.
She had to keep ignoring the [Virtual Port] and get used to her superhuman self as soon as possible.
It is best to have a thought similar to "I am a martial arts master taught by Ning Hai", so that you can skip the fact of the transformation of the [Virtual Port Area] and reduce subconscious memories.
As long as you don't think about it and isolate it from your consciousness, you can maintain the state to the greatest extent possible to avoid unexpected changes.
"So you just said that they were coming for you?" Su Xin quickly changed the subject.
The people in the carriage responded, "That's about right. You can never have too much property."
"Ah... So you went to the capital just for the family property? And your brothers and sisters want to stop you from coming back? Why does it sound like they are fighting for the throne..."
"Girl, what you said... If others heard this, they would report you to the police and arrest you. Talking about the royal family is a serious crime..."
Su Xin didn't believe this. "I've heard many people complain about this in town. We should catch them first."
"...Tucao? What do you mean?"
"Uh... just gossiping."
"Haha... that's quite interesting." The young lady coughed twice again, "Since you are from the town, you must have heard the news that the stranger was assassinated in the brothel, right?"
Su Xin clenched her fists subconsciously, but when she saw Taiyang's worried look, she breathed a sigh of relief and regained her composure, quickly denying it while thinking.
"A foreigner was assassinated? I didn't know. My sister and I left town early in the morning and only got on your carriage at night."
"Hehe...Miss, there's no need to be on guard. The brothel owner testified that Yi Ren died at the hands of a prostitute. The evidence is irrefutable, and she has no intention of overturning the verdict."
"...You know a lot about this?"
The young lady cleared her throat and explained in a gentle voice: "I don't really know much about him, but because he is an extraordinary person, the news spread widely and everyone knows about it."
Su Xin thought for a moment, "So is the case closed?"
"Yes, after all, the suspect has been frozen into an ice sculpture, so there is no way to hold him accountable. But that old duck...it is said that she instigated the assassination, so she did not escape. It is said that she will be executed in a few days."
I felt quite complicated when I heard the news.
Su Xin said she didn't come up, looked at the well-behaved Sun, raised her hand and rubbed his head.
The lady in the car was silent for a moment and then added: "But she kept crying out for injustice, saying that someone deliberately induced her to delay, but this matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed. I guess it has been decided."
"Um……"
"Girl, do you still have doubts?"
"No, no, I was just thinking... Oh, I don't know either."
The weak voice smiled and said, "This is the way the world is. Identity is the most important thing. An alien died there. No one dared to investigate what the alien did. They just wanted to close the case."
She coughed twice and sighed, "If nothing changes, this 'plague' will spread across the country..."
Coincidentally, Uncle Mo, who had packed up, got in the car to report.
"Miss, as you expected, the road ahead may be..."
"Haha... no problem, he doesn't dare to be too ostentatious. Besides... ahem, isn't there Miss Tide Summoner here?"
Uncle Mo glanced at Su Xin and said nothing. He waited for the lady to tell him to continue on his way before he turned around, sat down and held the reins tightly.
"upbraid!"
Chapter 1192 The First Chess Piece
Tiancheng didn't actually go very far after leaving that night.
With her face visibly red and swollen, she deliberately walked past everyone, left the town directly onto the dirt road, and turned around to find a place to hide.
The grass was pitch black, and the chirping of insects was so deafening that it hurt my ears.
There were so many mosquitoes that they bit her so much that she began to question her life. She had no choice but to shrink into her clothes as much as possible to cover the exposed skin on her neck, hands and feet.
But even so, a few small blisters appeared on the back of my hands, and they were very itchy.
As a ship girl, Amagi has never suffered such injustice. You know, when she had the ship-mounted position before, she could catch even mosquito bites and bullets.
But now...
She could only helplessly and amusingly make the sign of the cross and use the "secret remedy" that Su Xin had told her before to seal the mosquito bite.
“I never thought I’d actually use this.”
The usefulness of “folk remedies” is certainly limited, or to describe them as “limited” would be an exaggeration.
As expected, she still felt itchy after pinching. She was bored, so she just continued to pinch the small bag in the shape of a "rice" (米) character.
When the moon rose to the top of the head and then set in the west, the morning light gradually rose, and two familiar figures finally passed by on the dirt road and left into the distance.
Tiancheng scratched the "米" character and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, he was able to listen to me, and the time was not much different from what I expected. The fact that he went through the main entrance was also very cute."
After the two men left, she hid for nearly an hour. When she saw the lightening in the sky, she got up and went into the town.
She rushed to the shop where she had successfully sold underwear yesterday before the residents got up, and chose a not-so-noticeable location to wait.
When the woman opened the door to welcome the guest, she walked in quickly and invited the other party to talk in the inner room.
Before, Su Xin's underwear was hidden under her clothes. Yiren picked up the skirt on the surface, and the underwear was retained.
When returning it to the young commander, Tiancheng also left a few pairs of easy-to-carry trousers and tucked them into his wide sleeves for future use.
If I take it out now, I will have a bargaining chip to negotiate with the woman.
However, this time she was not planning to sell them all for money. She just said that the young lady had made one overnight and was willing to sell it at a discount.
The woman was naturally willing, and her daughter liked it very much, which showed that this thing might have a market.
Tiancheng had a lot of money in his pocket, and he said that he was too embarrassed to show his face to others, so he asked the other party to help him buy a set of men's clothes and lend him some rouge and powder.
The reason is that they want to buy servants from human traffickers, and being a woman is easy to be coveted by others.
After she changed her clothes, the pitiful girl turned into a tall and thin man.
In order to prevent the woman from getting suspicious, she thanked him and left the shop, then sat down to eat at a cheap restaurant.
Most of the drinkers who had been to Furong Garden had only seen her in her female form, and they knew that the guests of an inn where sisters had fallen out would not come to such a far place to eat.
In addition, she changed her outfit and deliberately modified her face to be more low-key so there was no danger of her identity being revealed.
After breakfast was cooked and served, Tiancheng ate slowly and leisurely, listening to the gossips of the increasingly numerous diners.
Amid the hustle and bustle, she buried her head in pretending to eat, while lowering her voice and saying roughly, "Hey, I heard that Furong Garden closed early last night."
The voice was mixed in with the diners' conversation, and it was impossible to tell who brought it up, but there was no shortage of people to continue this topic.
"Yes, yes, I heard from Erniu next door that something happened in the building!"
"How come no one has spread this big news? Tell me, what's going on?"
"I don't know. He kicked everyone out and didn't even want the money. The old guy is just greedy. It's really weird that he suddenly threw money out."
"You've been mumbling for so long but still haven't said anything?"
"Hey, how should I know? This has never happened before."
Tiancheng added fuel to the fire and said, "Is there any chance of someone getting killed?"
Everyone was strangely quiet, and their heads, which had been groggy from getting up early, suddenly became active.
If there is anything more worth talking about than cheating on your spouse, it must be murder.
