"Uncle He, is everything okay?"
Su Li looked at the front hall full of diners and turned around to ask. He Shi smiled loudly: "Thanks to Miss, the restaurant's business is good. I make much more money here than in the previous restaurant."
"That's good, I have nothing else to do here today. I heard that Brother Fang Yuan has a younger sister, and the place where they live is not peaceful. I saw that there are quite a few vacant rooms for the restaurant helpers, so I wanted to make arrangements for them. A single room.”
He Shi was surprised and happy when he heard this, "So that's it. I saw that boy Fang Yuan wanted to go home all day long, so I thought he was slacking off at work. Miss can think of the restaurant helpers like this, so she doesn't have to worry about the restaurant not being prosperous... It won’t be too late, I’ll find him right away.”
"Then trouble Uncle He." Su Li nodded and thanked.
Not long after, a smiling He Shi came over with a confused Fang Yuan.
"Miss, I'm going to go down and get busy first. You can't do without me in the kitchen back there."
He Shi said hello and left, leaving Su Li and Fang Yuan alone by the back hall door. Fang Yuan stood silently, his heart pounding. He Shi didn't tell him the specific matter. He didn't know what Su Li wanted to do with him.
Seeing that Fang Yuan was clearly nervous but pretending to be calm, Su Li smiled brightly and said, "Fang Yuan, I'll give you half a day off today. You can lead the way."
"Holiday? Where to go?" Fang Yuan looked confused.
"Nature is your place."
Su Li looked like it was natural, and Fang Yuan suddenly became even more confused. The relationship between him and Su Li could not be said to be close. To be precise, it was because he had complicated thoughts on one side. He never thought that one day Su Li would take the initiative to look for him.
After half a cup of tea, Fang Yuan led Su Li on the way to South Street, the blush on his face not fading yet.
"Sin, sin... How could I have that thought?"
The salary Su Li paid before solved his urgent need. His sister didn't have to go hungry. He was just thinking about making more money to change his residence, but he didn't expect that Su Li would take the initiative to help them.
"Fang Yuan, tell me, didn't I give you five hundred taels before?" Su Li asked curiously, "Why did you come to live in South Street?"
Fang Yuan felt ashamed and said honestly: "I'm sorry for you, Miss. All the money was stolen before. So my sister and I can only live here, and we bother Miss to come to a place like this. It's really..."
"You don't need to call yourself a villain in front of me." Su Li's gentle voice came out, "I can see that your groveling is just an appearance. Deep down, you should be a very proud person, but you are just aggrieved for the sake of life. Me. , In fact, I don’t like the feeling of being superior to others at all, how do you and I compare to each other as friends?”
Fang Yuan's heart was slightly shaken, and he was stunned for a moment when he looked at Su Li's pure and transparent eyes.
She wants to be friends with me? Is it really possible for a person like me...
"ah!!!!"
Suddenly, a scream pierced the sunset.
The scream, which was an ordinary thing in South Street, made Fang Yuan suddenly change his expression, and he rushed towards the direction of the scream like a madman.
"younger sister!"
Su Li narrowed her eyes and followed immediately.
Fang Yuan instantly burst out with all his strength, crossing a street like an afterimage, turning into an alleyway, and rushing into the mansion at the end.
"boom!!"
Two heavy wooden doors were kicked open by Fang Yuan, and a large group of disheveled gangsters came into view. Among the gangsters lay Fang Ling, who had been stripped down to her underwear.
"elder brother!"
Fang Ling hoarse, dying of shame, but her limbs were suppressed, but she couldn't even cover her eyes.
Fang Yuan's eyes were splitting, and he looked at the dozen or so burly men in the courtyard with red eyes, gritting his teeth, "You all deserve to die!!"
"Ha ha ha ha… "
The shirtless gangster leader suddenly burst out laughing, pointing at Fang Yuan, almost laughing so hard, "Brothers, did you hear that? This little melon boy actually said that we all deserve to die?"
Several other people immediately became interested, put down Fang Ling, and slowly walked over to surround Fang Yuan.
The ruffian leader looked at Fang Yuan, who was no taller than his shoulders, sneered, bent down, patted Fang Yuan's face with his palms, and said arrogantly: "Boy, I'm right here, you kill me and show me. Do you dare to kill someone? You Have you ever killed anyone? It’s really ridiculous. Now even the little carrot head dares to crawl on me... "
Poof!
"Well… "
The gangster leader's eyes widened. He lowered his head and looked at the dagger stuck in his heart. Cold pain spread throughout his body in an instant. This kid... really dares to kill people
"You are all going to die!"
Fang Yuan quickly pulled out the dagger, blood splattered on his face. While the other gangsters were still stunned, he easily sent the dagger into another person's heart.
At this time, the other dozen or so gangsters came to their senses and showed fear. When had they ever seen such a murderous child? But they had seen blood gangsters at least. Instead of running away under the stimulation of blood, they showed ruthless expressions and drew out their big knives and rushed over.
"Both the boss and the fourth child are dead, avenge them!"
"He only has one person, and there are sixteen of us. What are we afraid of!"
"kill him!"
Fang Yuan's expression was cold, as if he had turned into a weapon without temperature. He was scurrying around in the crowd. The dagger was like a poisonous snake. Every time he swung it, it would cut through his throat and take away a living life. The smell of blood quickly spread in the hospital. spread throughout.
when!
The knife and dagger collided with each other and made a crisp sound. The force of the shock caused the ruffian's mouth to bleed, and the ruffian laughed ferociously.
"Brother, be careful!" Fang Ling saw the shadow behind Fang Yuan and screamed in horror.
Fang Yuan screamed in his heart, but he had no time to dodge and was hugged by the person behind him, unable to move. The gangster in front of him was immediately chopped down with a knife!
With a pop, the knife edge penetrated the flesh!
Under the severe pain, Fang Yuan's pupils tightened, and with the strength he didn't know where he came from, he broke free from the embrace of the gangster behind him in the blink of an eye, and got out from under the crotch of the gangster in front. At the same time, he threw the dagger in his hand and pierced the necks of the two of them.
Bang! thump!
The dagger fell to the ground, and along with the sound of the corpse, the courtyard returned to silence.
Fang Yuan sat on the ground, holding his shoulders and breathing heavily. Regardless of dressing the wound, he limped up to his sister, took off his coat and covered her body.
Fang Ling looked at her brother blankly, tears filling her eyes, and after a while she finally started to cry.
"It's okay, everything is okay."
Holding his sister tightly in his arms, Fang Yuan's hands, which were stained with greasy blood and had never been soft-hearted in killing, were trembling slightly at this moment.
Almost, if not for the fact that Su Li happened to come back with him... By the way, Su Li!
Fang Yuan suddenly woke up.
At this moment, rustling footsteps came from behind.
Fang Yuan's mouth was full of bitterness. He could hear this footsteps every day, and he didn't even have to look back to know who it was.
Sure enough, how could someone like him be friends with her. He is a devil with blood on his hands. How can an ordinary and kind-hearted woman like Su Li accept it
They are not from the same world at all.
"Miss Su." Taking a deep breath, Fang Yuan said in a deep voice, "Maybe you can't understand what I'm doing... I won't hurt you, and we won't appear in Dasu Town in the future. If you want to report to the official, go ahead. …”
After saying these words, the footsteps stopped behind Fang Yuan, and there was no reply for a long time.
Fang Yuan's heart ached, wondering what Su Li's expression should be now. Afraid, terrified, overwhelmed? Let her see such a terrible scene, I really deserve to die!
"elder brother… "
Suddenly, Fang Ling's voice brought Fang Yuan back to reality. Fang Ling raised her head and looked across Fang Yuan, with a puzzled look on her face, "Brother, look, Sister Su is smiling."
Fang Yuan turned around in shock and saw Su Li squatting down with a gentle smile on her face. The hem of her spotless skirt was immediately stained with dirt. Her tone was as usual, even with a hint of coquettishness.
"You little fool, these people deserve to die, so why would I report them to the official?"
At this moment, Fang Yuan was stunned and stunned.
No matter how rich his imagination was, he never expected that Su Li's reaction would be so unusual and completely contrary to common sense. At this moment, he even had a misunderstanding. Could it be that the concept of women in Dahan Country was different from that in Southern Xinjiang? !
"You have a lot to ask, and I have a lot too."
Su Li took off her cloak and tied it on Fang Ling, and said nonchalantly: "Everyone has a past that they can't bear to look back on, so why expose people's scars. Why don't we just ask. We'll help each other in the future, what do you think?"
Under the cold moonlight, in the courtyard filled with corpses, the girl's understatement made the smell of blood fade away.
"Keeping watch and helping each other?" Fang Yuan frowned and looked at the corpses on the ground, "People like me..."
"Killing can be a means to achieve a goal, but it is also troublesome." Su Li took a step forward and took out a small black porcelain bottle from her waist. "You impulsively killed these sixteen people, which is troublesome. When someone discovers them tomorrow, you guys The brother and sister will lose their stable life again and be on the run."
Walking to the nearest corpse, Su Li paused, looked back and said with a smile: "You are worried about this, am I right?"
"Yes, what can you do."
At this moment, Fang Yuan finally regained his ability to think, his eyes full of fear. The Su Li in front of her was still Su Li, but not the usual Su Li, but the real Su Li. This is a terrifying woman who hides deeper than him.
"Let them disappear." Su Li poured the medicinal powder on the corpse. The blood mixed with the blood gave off a fragrance, and soon melted into water with a hissing sound. Not even the bones were left. "Some gangsters are missing in South Street. Who will come?" I care."
Su Li melted the corpse with ease. Fang Yuan suddenly got goosebumps all over his body and opened his mouth not knowing what to say. The kind and innocent Su Li in my mind gradually became far away and out of reach, but the real Su Li at this moment was even more elusive.
How could this ordinary lady who was born in a peaceful and peaceful family have such terrible methods
No matter how well-informed he was, he felt that everything happening in front of him was too weird.
After Su Li had taken care of the traces of the yard, it was already completely dark. She stood up and put away the black porcelain bottle, wiped the dirt off her skirt, looked up and saw Fang Yuan's still bleeding shoulder, she couldn't help but frown slightly and said: "Your injury is not serious, but you still need to recuperate. Go ahead and bandage it before going back. Bar."
"Um."
Fang Yuan responded absently, and with the help of his sister, the three of them returned to the yard together.
After putting on the oil lamp, Su Li carefully applied medicine to Fang Yuan's bloody wound. Although Fang Ling was fine, she was frightened and fell asleep on her side.
Fang Yuan's upper body was naked and his face was hot. Fortunately, the light from the oil lamp was dim and Su Li couldn't see it, which made him sigh in relief.
After a moment of silence, he said slowly: "I have been on the battlefield and killed many people. Even the elderly and children will not be spared. Do you... really not mind?"
Su Li raised his head and was startled, then shook his head and chuckled: "In the world of martial arts, you can't help yourself. Who dares to say that you are innocent of sin? I believe in you. At least you won't kill innocent people for your own selfish desires, right?"
Fang Yuan nodded with complicated eyes. He did not expect that one day he would also be forgiven.
Su Li lowered her head to treat the wound, her eyes dark. My thoughts drift away unconsciously...
Execution ground in previous life—
At three quarters of noon, the sun was scorching.
"Su Li, you damn devil, in order to perfect the poison technique, you killed 200,000 Han troops, which resulted in the enemy's victory and the displacement of the people. The heinous crimes you have committed are too numerous to list!"
"Devil, you caused my wife to be separated. I can't wait to eat your flesh and drink your blood. Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be here today!"
"God has eyes and will definitely let you die in all the pain!"
“…”
