One or two branches of plum outside the bamboo

Chapter 361 Assassination
After a busy night, the famous storytellers in the city were all cleaned up by Yan Qingzhi. The next day they would not go to the previous storytelling place, but would wander around the streets and tell stories. .

In fact, there are not many storytellers in this city. The reason why they have been busy all night is because the gate is relatively large and Yan Qingzhi has to run around.

When the sky was dawning, Yan Qingzhi bought some food and returned to the small courtyard where the three girls were stranded.

Guan Shao and the storyteller found a room to rest, while Yan Qingzhi chatted with the two sane girls about their future.

The two of them lived in different environments. One grew up being doted on by her parents, but she didn't live well until her mother died of illness and her father remarried and died of illness.

Although she was tricked, she always yearned for the life outside, and it was she who had been encouraging another little girl to keep him calm and sober.

But the other is much more miserable, because it is a girl, she is not good-looking, her family does not like it, and she has no future or way out in the future. She has lived a life of insufficient food and clothing since she was a child, and she does not really have much outside. Hope, and even a bit of Stockholm Syndrome, had become dependent on the storyteller who imprisoned him, and once thought it would be good to live in a cellar like this, where life is not life!
This situation did not improve until the little girl was also caught in the end.

She is optimistic and sunny, unyielding and brave. Although she will be beaten every time she tries to escape, she has never given up.

She started helping her cover up out of sympathy, and she gave her hope.

But when it comes to the future, they are reluctant to go home again. The optimistic little girl has no one who expects her to go back. After returning, it will be just like that, and the other one seems to only want to follow the former...

As for the last madman, Yan Qingzhi took her pulse and gave her medicine. She calmed down a bit, but the situation was not optimistic.

She was initially imprisoned here, and the two girls later inferred the specific time when she was talking to herself and talking nonsense. It is impossible to know whether she has any family members who are willing to go home, etc. From the point of view that they had experienced the same hardships, even if they had family members, they were reluctant to go back.

Who doesn't have a few relatives and neighbors with broken mouths these days, what will be passed down when they go back, and how will they live?

You can't wait to be sold into a dirty place in the end, or let your family arbitrarily arrange for someone to marry away from afar!

They have gone through so much without dying. Since they are alive, they want to live a different life.

Yan Qingzhi agrees with this very much. She herself is a girl and has experienced the daily life of being talked about. She really knows the torment of this process too much, not to mention that what several people have experienced is different from other things. In remote places or in the former dynasty, those who have experienced these things without committing suicide are all shameless and skinless shoes, and they will be forcibly taken to Shentang.

What about victims... what about victims? Are there still few people in this world who stand on the commanding heights of morality and show their moral values ​​by suppressing and abusing others?

This has nothing to do with the times, it is the prejudice and inferiority in the human bones.

Those weak people have no choice but to protect themselves. When they are unfairly treated, they will truly experience the kind of despair. Even breathing and existence are original sins.

Yan Qingzhi is powerless to change anything. She is not the savior of the world, and she doesn't even think she is a good person. She just hopes that the world she sees will be fairer because of her existence.

So she is willing to help these girls.

They are not in good health and should not go far now. Yan Qingzhi decided to go out to find a house for a while, and take them to a safe place in the evening. The crazy girl is in a worse condition.

The storyteller who imprisoned them is not a rich master, and the little money earned is not enough to provide them with any guarantee of life. The cold and damp cellar is a breeding place for various bacteria and viruses. A malnourished pregnant woman lives here. It's weird to be healthy.

Yan Qingzhi is not a doctor specializing in gynecology. She can barely figure out that the woman is about five months pregnant. It is reasonable to say that she is not very pregnant this month, but she is too thin, so she let this belly look at her. Thrilling.

Yan Qingzhi was not familiar with the situation in Menkaicheng, so she left Guan Shao here to take care of the three, while she took the storyteller out to find a house.

A house in Menkaicheng is easy to find as long as you have money. Yan Qingzhi just robbed a wave of storytellers last night. Although those people are not very rich, they add up to a small amount of money to rent a house. enough.

Yan Qingzhi quickly found a place around Menkaicheng. There is a relatively large yard here, and there is a well in the yard. The neighbors around are far away, so they can hear it quietly.

After making an order with the landlord, she simply packed her things. After Yan Qingzhi bought a few more clothes and some food, she went to the place where the storytellers arranged today to have a look.

The people from the Nine Swords League are still looking for Yan Qingzhi on the street. The rumors created yesterday had a good effect, but it didn't help them find Yan Qingzhi in trouble, so these people were not so concerned.

However, some people found anomalies, and they chased after them to find out that the story told by the storyteller today was wrong, and they chased people away, but after they left, those people went back and continued to tell...

Everyone has no choice, the antidote is still in Yan Qingzhi's hands!
Yan Qingzhi felt that it was not bad to develop like this, so she went to work on her own business.

After returning, she simply cleaned up the three of them, rubbed the medicine on their wounds, changed into new clothes, and comforted them a little, and then took advantage of the good time to run to find the trouble of the tiger knife.

This Tiger Saber has only risen in recent years. There is only one boss, and his nickname is Tiger Saber. Others call him Brother Saber. It is said that he is not tall, but he is very strong.

Yan Qingzhi, a person who loves hard walnuts, heard that he was practicing hard kung fu. He immediately got up and changed himself into lighter clothes. By the way, he also asked the storyteller if there was any rental nearby. In the place of the carriage, after she was about to kill the tiger knife, she quickly went to rent a carriage to settle the three girls, and then went about her own business.

After planning the route, Yan Qingzhi set off.

This time Guan Shao has to follow whatever he says.

He and Yan Qingzhi have gained a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes in the past few days. At least he knows that saving people is not the end of saving people, and how to settle down afterwards is also a problem.

In those rivers and lakes stories, the heroes of justice saved people, and it was enough to receive gratitude from others. Guan Shao never realized that not all those who were rescued would have a chance to survive.

Of course, I can't blame those heroes. I haven't heard that doing good deeds has to be managed for a lifetime. After all, manpower is sometimes exhausted, and God's will is hard to resist.

He just saw another kind of kindness in Yan Qingzhi.

The day before, he also felt that the world was dark because Yan Qingzhi found someone to make up stories to brag about himself. The day after, he had new expectations for the world.

Guan Shao was mostly silent along the way with Yan Qingzhi.

On the dark night of midsummer, Yan Qingzhi brought Guan Shao out and swayed around the sphere of influence of the Tiger Blade without getting dark.

That Tiger Saber has a very regular schedule, and they don't need to go out on the street to arrest people in person, so at night, he returned to his home on time.

Yan Qingzhi hid in the alley and watched him get out of the carriage. The men led the carriage to the back door, and he got into the yard at once. His wretched appearance didn't look like a strong martial artist at all.

When the surrounding people were almost gone, Yan Qingzhi didn't rush in, but followed the previous route to find the place where the carriage was rented and rented a carriage.

When she came out with the carriage, the genius darkened slightly.

Murder is not difficult for Yan Qingzhi, and she doesn't want to kill in front of Guan Shao. I don't know why she always wants Guan Shao to keep some attachment to the world.

Guan Shao didn't hesitate, just took out a brush-like bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Yan Qingzhi. The thin bamboo tube looked inconspicuous, but it was very heavy to start. Feel the extraordinary of this thing.

Her eyes lit up instantly.

Guan Shao gave her a signal flare before, but it wasn't too difficult for her. She could even do it more delicately, so she didn't take it to heart.

But today this thing is different, today this Yan Qingzhi can't do it by himself.

There are very few wooden structures in it, and several of them are all kinds of hardware. Yan Qingzhi's understanding and application ability of metals is average. Some time ago, thinking about Kao Tiangong Institute, he found some books to study, but it is still far from enough. to such a degree of refinement.

She hesitated for a while, but still handed the thing back to Guan Shao. Every family in this era swept away their treasures. With the idea of ​​Yan Qingzhi's ability, it was difficult for her to control herself when this thing was in her hands. If she didn't study it, if Guan Shao was her enemy, she would definitely have no burden in her heart, but Guan Shao was her friend after all, and she really couldn't do such a thing.

But it looks too cruel to eat!

Time did not wait for anyone, Yan Qingzhi simply explained a few words to Guan Shao, and then rejected him. Guan Shao wanted to persuade him again, but unfortunately the words hadn't come out yet. Yan Qingzhi had already rushed up the courtyard wall. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared behind the wall.

The yard looks small from the outside, but there is a cave inside. There are several small buildings standing there. Yan Qingzhi couldn't really tell the location of the tiger knife for a while.

However, this is not difficult. Yan Qingzhi found a lonely person in the yard, knocked him unconscious, and took him to a corner of the yard. After coaxing him with a knife, he got the result he wanted.

She knocked the man unconscious again, and then walked towards the place the man said.

Sure enough, the man who got off the carriage that I saw just now was inside.

Several young and beautiful women were serving the man to eat, and a large table of food was enough for the poor people for a month.

Yan Qingzhi didn't want to be discovered. She didn't mind killing a few more people, but the three girls hadn't settled down yet. She really didn't have time tonight, so she used another method.

In the small building, there are several people guarding on the first floor, and the tiger knife is now on the second floor.

Yan Qingzhi didn't have much trouble going upstairs, and went around to find a good place to start and climbed up.

This small building is very delicate, surrounded by corridors, Yan Qingzhi jumped to the second floor without much effort.

There is a small hall in front of the second floor, and there are two bedrooms in the back, and Yan Qingzhi jumped into one of the bedrooms.

This bedroom is well-decorated, with beaded curtains, and paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall.

Yan Qingzhi was not polite, she even took the jewelry box and moved away. She originally wanted to rush out to kill the tiger knife, but seeing a lot of gains in this room, her stinginess came up again, and she went out. After leaving the room, while listening to the movement on the other side of the corridor, he entered the next room.

This room is also similar, but in addition to jewelry, there is also a good piano.

Yan Qingzhi shoved it directly into the space, and then she cleared the happy expression on her face and rushed straight into the hall.

As soon as the door opened, the four or five people in the room panicked. When they turned their heads to look over, Yan Qingzhi had already knocked open the screen at the door. , her sword edge has been pointed directly at the tiger knife sitting in the middle.

The man was indeed not tall and strong as the storyteller said. He had dark skin, sharply angular facial features, and somewhat hard eyes. His eyelids were somewhat droopy and his eyes were not large.

Just as Yan Qingzhi's sword reached the front door, a terrifying light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He vacated the air in an instant, ignoring the dishes on the table behind him, rolling from the dishes, and instantly pulled away the distance from Yan Qingzhi. At the same time, he kicked the table, and the sound of clattering sounded in the room. , the bowl and plate fell to the ground, and the heavy table slammed into Yan Qingzhi's direction.

The women at the table screamed, and they were knocked out with the table.

Yan Qingzhi waved the soft sword back to the scabbard. She stepped on the chair she sat on before the Tiger Saber, and the whole person took advantage of her strength and flew into the air in an instant.

The people downstairs heard the movement above, and quickly put down the things in their hands, without even looking at each other, and rushed upstairs.

The tiger knife was already standing at the window, and he had already pulled out the long knife hanging from his waist.

No matter what his identity is, he is still a warrior at this time, and keeping his weapons inseparable is the basic quality of a warrior.

Seeing this, Yan Qingzhi was not surprised at all, and landed next to the Tiger Blade without stopping.

The man's left eye narrowed slightly, but he didn't speak, and the knife in his hand had already been slashed out.

His blade was like a tiger descending a mountain, his killing intent was awe-inspiring, and his might was astonishing.
