After waking up with the client's body, a certain woman sorted out the memories of the original owner, opened her eyes and looked at the gray wall covered in cobwebs, smelled the faint scent of medicine, and said expressionlessly in her heart: [Xin Tong, I have a little immature suggestion - why don't you give up this mission and let me go back? Just send me back to the Wangchuan River in the underworld.]
System 1001 hastily responded: [Okay, please confirm that the 140-year cultivation base will be deducted, and it will be sent to you soon—]
A small blue light screen appeared in front of the woman, and she could be sent back to the underworld immediately after she pressed the confirmation button.
How should I put it, listening to the sound of this system, why is there still a kind of joy and rejoicing? It's completely different from the voice that I didn't answer when I first accepted the task!
After holding back for a while, the woman couldn't help but ask: [Are you so unwilling to cooperate with me?]
System 1001 saw that she didn't really mean to give up the task, sighed in his heart, and the speed of speech returned to that slow look, and said slowly: [Actually, I'm not targeting you... as long as I let you I hate work, so—quickly give up the task, I guess it will be a long time before the next salesman who gets me drawn.]
Bai Jin: ... This is the first time I've seen such a passive and slow-moving system.
[Oh, I'm suddenly full of energy after hearing you say that, um, let me review the previous summary again.]After the woman replied casually, she actually began to close her eyes and fall asleep, trying her best to blend into the client's background.
System 1001 sighed again. It was a sad thing for it to fail to encourage the salesman to join it in passive sabotage.
Then hang up for a day. System 1001 thought so, and happily unilaterally cut off the contact with the salesman.
Bai Jin's family was originally well off. His father worked in a large restaurant in the capital in his early years and was a cook who was proficient in both northern and southern dishes. Later, the owner of the restaurant where he worked offended a well-known local dignitary, the business could not continue, and he had to dismiss the staff.
My father went back home and opened a small restaurant. Because of his superb cooking skills, he gradually became famous in all the towns and villages. He also married the daughter of another well-known merchant in the same town, got married and gave birth to a daughter. , as the apple of the eye. Later, the business got better and better, so I had enough money to open several restaurants with the same name in the surrounding villages and towns, and sent all the apprentices to take charge of the cooking alone. farther.
It's a pity that it's a pity that in this era, the current sage's remaining prestige is insufficient, and the time has not caught up with the good times since he succeeded to the throne, and natural and man-made disasters continue. A few years ago, there were thieves who pulled up flags to rebel, and the imperial court continued to send large troops to suppress them, but they still went from south to north, all the way to Baishi Town where their home was located, and occupied Baishi City by force. So they bribed the city gate guards one after another, and each of them took their families to the north, and the father also took the whole family to flee north.
The servants and maidservants followed, the convoy could be regarded as mighty, and there were dozens of guards with good skills to protect their safety all the way. However, the road to the north was not easy, and this was an old friend who wanted to go back to the capital to join his father. , Before he got there, he met a bandit.
Because Bai Jin was not feeling well that day, the carriage was at the back of the convoy, and the thieves were rushing down the mountain in front. They were immediately turned around and ran away by several experts from the home nursing home. When she and the two maidservants in the carriage were sent to the nearest village and then turned back... there were only... corpses left on the road, and the carriage and belongings were all taken away.
Hastily collected the body for Bai Jin's parents, and they came back to tell her the news.
After hearing the news, Bai Jin fainted immediately.
When I wake up again, the core has been replaced.
The cloth on the woman's body was still soft and luxurious satin, which really didn't match the style of this simple room, and it was really uncomfortable to lie on the hard bed. Suddenly, he opened those dark eyes that were as deep as deep abyss, and fixedly looked in the direction of the door curtain, and several people's voices sounded outside the door:
"Miss Bai is still awake?" This is a man who is still like Hong Zhong even if he speaks softly. His tone is still a little anxious, as if he has encountered some urgent matter.
Another soft and soft female voice sounded: "I went forward for half a quarter of an hour and went to see it. I haven't seen it yet. Brother Zhong, what happened to this?"
"I heard from a few brothers who went out to inquire about the news that the Wulin has not been peaceful recently. The Demon Cult has just entered the Central Plains and can't wait to expand. Now, taking advantage of the chaotic war between the imperial court and the rebel army, they are trying to take advantage of the opportunity to expand the area around a hundred miles away. All the hills have changed their flags."
"Will the gang of thieves who robbed our old caravan be killed by the people of the Demon Cult?" Although the little girl spoke weakly, she had a good ability to grasp the key points. When talking about those thieves, she gritted her teeth and said There was also a sense of hatred.
Well, at a young age, I already understood the truth that the enemy's enemy is my friend.
Listening to what they said, Bai Jin used his spiritual sense to contact the system: [Does the mission not require revenge?]
As a result, no answer was heard at all, and Bai Jin shouted a few more times, but it was still as silent as a dead machine.
Bai Jin: ... Ma De's system is a bit too lazy, right
"The Devil's Cult, the Devil's Cult... You can tell from the name. It is rumored that the Demon Lord is a big devil who kills without blinking an eye. Who knows if they only clean up the hills? After leaving, there are only some lonely old people who can't travel far. Let's hurry up and see Miss Bai, if it doesn't work, you guys can find another way." The strong man waved his hand in the direction of the door, signaling the maidservant to hurry up. Go in and see what's going on.
Almost as soon as the voice fell, the curtain was lifted. Xia Yu came in and faced Bai Jin's dark eyes. She was startled at first, and then rejoiced later: "Miss! You're awake! Are you there?" not feeling well?"
Bai Jin slowly sat up from the bed, without answering her question, looked at her complexion in front of the bronze mirror by the table, and said first: "Brother Zhong, please come in, I've heard about the situation, we should discuss it first." a countermeasure."
"Put on this coat first, miss, you are not fully recovered yet, so you can't catch the cold anymore." She got up and went to the bedside, picked up a coat that was placed there before, and put it on for Bai Jin.
The woman who had been used to doing things by herself for many years suddenly felt this treatment, and almost didn't realize it.
But people change from frugal to extravagant, and it took a second to adjust their mentality. For the sake of human design, it feels good to stretch out your clothes for your food and open your mouth.
It was already in such a crude place, Xia Yu's caretaker still did not miss any details, and still insisted on tidying up for her before going out and inviting Brother Zhong in.
Fortunately, she moved quickly enough, and Zhong Hui didn't wait long outside before seeing the blue curtain being lifted.
As usual, Bai Jin greeted him a few words, thanked them for taking care of them in the past few days, Zhong Hui hurriedly said that he didn't dare, he should do things with money. Only then did Bai Jin bring up the matter unhurriedly, and Zhong Hui recounted the news inquired by the brothers who were eating outside the courtyard.
"What the brothers mean is that I don't know where this demon sect is. It's better to avoid it—the relatives in the capital that the master mentioned before, the young lady should also know, why don't I escort the young lady to the capital city, which is considered complete. This time's mission." They were all masters hired by Master Bai from the Escort Bureau, and they paid 80% of the commission even if they were rich and powerful.
As a result, no one expected to encounter such a thing. Except for them, the brothers in the other bodyguards were also dead or injured. They had no intention of this mission, and couldn't bear Bai Jin to take a few maidservants all the way to the capital, so they discussed all night and decided to send the Buddha to the west.
Although Bai Jin didn't feel the prompt from the system at the moment, she felt the remnants of the original master's revenge, and said repeatedly:
"Brother Zhong, I still have some money left in my hand, so I will help my father settle the final payment for troublesome escorting you this time—I want to stay here for a few more days, so that I don't want you to die with me..."
"Miss Bai, what are you talking about!" Zhong Hui suddenly slapped the small wooden table in the corner angrily. Bai Jin's skin care bottles and jars were all on it. There was an overwhelmed creaking sound, the white porcelain bottle swayed on top of it, rolled down one by one, and hit the ground with a crisp sound.
Xia Yu, who was standing beside her, was startled by the movement, and didn't react for a while, watching the bottle fall to the ground, and the fragments splashed everywhere.
Bai Jin's heart was bleeding, and she worked very hard to control herself not to keep the bottle.
"I know that Miss Bai wants to take revenge! But how can the Demon Cult be easy to deal with? If you accidentally killed yourself, wouldn't my brothers... Sigh!" Halfway through the speech, he knew that what he said later was a bit awkward. It wasn't right, he swallowed it back forcefully, glared at Bai Jin resentfully, and turned around with his hands behind his back, looking very angry.
Bai Jin: ... To be honest, what kind of demon sect, my mother can single out a hundred of them now.
But this world often frightens people to death, she could only take a few deep breaths in her heart, and smiled miserably: "Brother Zhong has saved my life, how dare I take this life I picked up to do whatever I want?" Presumptuous? I know my abilities, but I don’t even have the power to go up the mountain to take revenge in person—I’m just hoping that I can wait until the news of the death of these villains, so what if it’s the Devil’s Cult? In this place…”
"Miss Bai, you don't have to say any more! Since our brothers have decided to escort you to the capital, we will never break our promise! I admire Miss Bai's filial piety, and I also admire Miss Bai's reason, but for three to five days, my brothers can still stay. You may not be like this village old woman!" Zhong Hui turned around and interrupted her, vowing to put aside the words of the brothers just now, and was persuaded by Bai Jin's words, and at the end he did not forget to tell Bai Jin to take a good rest. Protecting the safety of the surroundings, he lifted the curtain and strode out.
Bai Jin: ... I haven't seen such a deceitful person for many years.
His eyes fell on the bottle of good facial cream that he remembered on the ground, and he sighed faintly:
"It's a pity that my palace secret recipe Bailushuang..."
Xia Yu next to her was still dazed.
