Chapter 222: Burial Case Witness Shangguan Shu
Suddenly, Song Liu’s eyes darkened.
The row of candles in front of him went out. He was wondering about it when he felt a pain in the back of his neck and lost consciousness instantly.
"Boss, Wei Yuan is here!"
A man in black pointed at the naked Wei Yuan and said.
Two men in black stood guard at the door.
The man in black, who was called "Boss", glanced at Wei Yuan and took out a sack from his body, "Put him in!"
The second and third brothers worked together to stuff Wei Yuan into a sack. The second brother carried the sack on his back, and the five of them tiptoed out of the house and climbed over the wall to escape.
The old butler at the door didn't notice anything.
It was pitch dark in the deep mountains, but these men were well-trained killers and could move in the darkness as if walking on flat ground.
The second brother carried Wei Yuan's body and asked, "Boss, what should we do next?"
"The master said to destroy the body. Let's find a place to bury him."
After saying that, several people looked towards the top of the mountain. In the darkness, only the dozens of wooden tablets and white banners of different colors seemed so different.
The boss immediately liked it and pointed to the wild graveyard, "Bury it there!"
……
I don’t know the years in the mountains.
But for Shangguan Shu, it was different.
Early in the morning of the first day, he went down the mountain to buy things in the morning light. His silver was gone, but his yard was full.
Early the next morning, two chickens died.
One was killed by a weasel, leaving only some chicken feathers, and one... might have been scared to death...
The next morning, just as it was light, a sheep died.
The cause of death is unknown.
He pulled the dead sheep to a nearby market on a bullock cart and sold it for ten cents.
On the morning of the third day, the dew was heavy and another sheep died.
He pulled the dead sheep to a nearby market on a bullock cart and sold it for ten cents.
The fourth day...
Now, he and the old ox were the only ones left alive in the yard. He had a premonition that one of them would die tonight. He didn't know whether he would be the one pulling the ox to the market tomorrow morning, or the ox would be the one pulling him to the market...
He didn't mind the cold, so he sat in the yard and confronted the old ox.
Old Yellow Ox: ...
In fact, he was thinking about Zhao Ying.
I can't fall asleep because of thinking about it.
Thinking about her every smile, every move.
He thought about every scene, from the day he rescued her on the battlefield to when they got married and had children. He thought that his memory would be blurred due to the passage of time, but in fact, it was not the case. Instead, he remembered it very clearly.
How could he feel that he didn't love her...
She was so cute, so... attractive to him.
His Zhao Ying...
His thoughts always suddenly turned at a certain turning point, bringing him back to the cruel reality.
Zhao Ying is no longer his.
Zhao Ying, no longer loves him.
The bleak and quiet night always easily drags people into the abyss. A thought flashed through his mind more than once: if he died in the wilderness at this moment, would Zhao Ying shed a tear for him...
He couldn't get an answer.
He still had a faint hope in his heart.
Despair mixed with sporadic hopes.
Just like now, he was waiting day by day for Zhao Ying to come to him.
Zhao Ying didn't come, and Shangguan Qingyue didn't come either. But that little fairy Heng Lin came once every three days, and only came when she was too hungry to bear it anymore.
Then I cooked a few plates of wild vegetables for him, and after he finished eating, I cleaned up and left.
Shangguan Shu really didn't know how to light a fire or cook. The rice he cooked every day was either mushy or undercooked, and he could only eat a few bites. Thanks to Henglin, he could have a barely edible meal once every three days.
Over the past few days, he had been so hungry that his belt had shrunk a little.
But he was not in the mood to take care of himself. For the first time in his life, he was worried about money. He was thinking, if Yue'er came and all his sheep died, what would he do if Yue'er wanted to drink goat's milk?
No matter how hard it is, we can’t hurt the children!
It is not the time to plant wheat yet. Besides, even if he does, he can’t wait. He has to find a way to earn some money to buy sheep for Yue’er.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a movement in the circle of graves above his head. Shangguan Shu looked closely and his sharp eyes suddenly darkened.
At the same time, the killers in the grave circle also discovered Shangguan Shu.
The two looked at each other, feeling a little awkward.
None of the six moved.
In the grave circle.
Lao Wu exclaimed, "Boss, there's someone down there!"
The second child was a little scared, "What should I do?"
The third brother frowned.
The fourth brother was puzzled, "Is it a human? It can't be a wooden man?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Shu turned around and walked into the house.
Fourth child:......
After a while, the boss spoke in a cold voice, "Bury it quickly, and then go and kill it!"
"Yes!"
The night is so quiet that it makes people feel eerie.
The five assassins quietly approached the dilapidated house at the foot of the mountain. The second assassin said in a deep voice, "Boss, let me go! I'm just a farmer, I can do it alone!"
"it is good!"
The remaining four men lay in ambush, watching the second one approach.
Suddenly, several people were tapped on the shoulders.
"What are you doing here?"
A few of them turned around fiercely and found a group of people in black behind them. They were just wearing black robes, which looked much more advanced than what they were wearing.
The eldest brother was about to speak, but the fourth brother spoke first, with a somewhat surprised tone, "Traveling together?"
Liao Mu nodded with a complicated expression.
Several of the killers relaxed.
The third brother said, "That's such a coincidence. Who are you going to kill?"
Liao Mu: "Keep it secret."
The eldest brother pushed the third brother and warned him with his eyes, asking why he asked such a stupid question. For a professional killer, keeping secret the mission information is the most basic quality.
Lao Wu, however, was more suspicious and thought that these people were here to steal the mission. Just imagine, there was only one family living here in the desolate mountains and wilderness. They must be crazy to show up here for no reason.
The fifth brother pulled the eldest brother aside and told him his suspicions.
The boss thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, so he stepped forward and asked Liao Mu, "Are you going to kill the people down the mountain?"
Liao Mu paused after hearing this, and then smiled meaningfully.
The boss thought he was right and was about to negotiate with him and ask him to leave when he suddenly felt an itch in his throat.
The boss blinked, reached out his hand and touched his neck, his hand was covered in blood.
The next second, the boss fell in a pool of blood.
The remaining three were stunned. The fifth one was shocked and angry, "You are going too far. You don't even have to steal the mission..." A sword stabbed into his chest.
In the blink of an eye, four killers fell to the ground.
Liao Mu drew his sword and touched the corpse, "If you kill my master, even if you take five people, it won't be enough for the hundred or so brothers of ours!"
"That's right!"
The following said in unison.
Liao Mu stepped aside, and the secret guards behind him stepped forward, moved the bodies, dug pits and buried them. They were so skilled.
After cleaning up the scene, a group of people came and went in a hurry, and hid in the mountains and forests again.
"Captain Liao, what about the other one?"
"Leave it for the master to play with."
Otherwise the master would be too bored.
In the room, Shangguan Shu was lying with his back to the door.
The second one approached quietly.
After a while, the second brother was beaten and thrown out of the door with a swollen face.
He kept muttering, "I'll give you all the money, I'll give you all the money..."
"I didn't kill the chickens and sheep..."
"I really didn't kill him..."
