Becoming Stronger After Death: I Keep Seeking Death in the World of the Universe.

Chapter 36 I picked this up

During the period of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the world was in chaos because demons were rampant.

The government was unable to capture the suspects and could only issue a large number of wanted warrants, leaving it to the "righteous men" in the community to capture the suspects in exchange for a reward.

The world seems chaotic at this time.

There are countless criminals who commit murder and arson.

But it's much better than the future "A Chinese Ghost Story 2".

At least at this time, the local militia were also arresting people arbitrarily everywhere.

But at least in Guobei County, only the right people were arrested.

If we wait a few more years and the world becomes even more chaotic, it won’t matter whether we arrested the wrong person or not.

As long as we catch the person, that's all.

Earlier, Ning Caichen, who had just entered Guobei County, was toughly compared with the group of militiamen holding the wanted warrant and was almost treated as a wanted criminal.

If this had happened a few years later, he would have definitely been wrongly imprisoned.

Speaking of which, Ning Caichen is also an unlucky guy.

I have not been lucky since I started the journey of debt collection in Guobei County.

Just now, he was thrown out by the restaurant owner because the debt collection account book was soaked by rain and he had no vouchers.

I was just planning to ask someone where I can find a free place to stay.

As a result, I saw that lunatic Xu Wang shouting, "Everyone look at me."

Seeing his eyes meet Xu Wang's, Ning Caichen was startled and quickly turned away.

I want to stay away from Xu Wang.

Xu Wang didn't want to look for Ning Caichen at first.

But when Ning Caichen saw him in this state, he was instantly intrigued!
The more Ning Caichen fled, the more he chased him.

The more Xu Wang chased, the more Ning Caichen fled.

It only took the two of them less than a dozen seconds to go from normal slow walking, to brisk walking, to jogging, and finally to a sprint.

Ning Caichen seemed to be chased by a dog, and was chased by Xu Wang all over half of Guobei County!
"Stop! Stop! Why are you chasing me?!"

Ning Caichen was panting, leaning against the wall with a puzzled look on his face.

The two of them just met by chance.

He didn't know why Xu Wang was so persistent in pursuing him.

Xu Wang chased Ning Caichen all the way, and his chest was heaving.

Hearing this, Xu Wang said as a matter of course: "You ran away when you saw me, and I thought you owed me money."

Ning Caichen's expression was a little stiff. He opened his mouth and looked at Xu Wang's serious expression. Suddenly, he was speechless.

As if accepting his fate, he looked at Xu Wang and said in a dry voice: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Xu Wang walked slowly to Ning Caichen and asked very kindly, "Are you hungry?"

Ning Caichen wanted to say that he was not hungry.

But he was hungry and penniless.

In the end, Ning Caichen could only nod.

"Hey, I just happen to have a steamed bun here. I'm not hungry yet. Please have some."

As Xu Wang spoke, he took out the steamed bun that Xiahou had given him.

Ning Caichen was speechless when he saw it.

Isn’t this the steamed bun he threw away? I didn’t expect Xu Wang to pick it up again. Why is he so persistent?

There was no way out. Things had developed to this point, and Ning Caichen had to obey Xu Wang and take the steamed bun back.

"I've introduced myself before. My name is Xu Wang. Everyone who knows me calls me Brother Wang."

After saying that, Xu Wang stared at Ning Caichen with a straight gaze, his mouth opening and closing slightly, as if urging him to do something.

Ning Caichen felt helpless.

But people still greeted him under the eaves: "Hello, brother."

"Good good!"

Xu Wang was very happy to be called Brother Wang, so he said, "I live alone, and my house is quite big. You are welcome to come to my house to play. If you are tired of playing, just go to sleep, no problem!"

I don't know why, it's a very normal sentence.

But when Xu Wang said it, Ning Caichen felt weird.

"But didn't you just come to Guobei County? Do you have a house here too?"

Ning Caichen didn't believe Xu Wang.

"I don't have a house in the county, but I have an old house outside the county, which was left by my ancestors. This time I came to Guobei County just to see the old house."

Xu Wang can lie with his eyes open without blushing or breathing hard, so he is quite believable.

Seeing Xu Wang like this, Ning Caichen actually believed it a little. He thought about it.

I am penniless now and cannot get the money back from my debts.

If Xu Wang really had a place where he could stay for the night, it would solve his urgent problem.

Ning Caichen looked at Xu Wang carefully again.

I have to say that Xu Wang's behavior was a little weird.

But he looks decent.

I can't be so arbitrary to judge Xu Wang as a bad person.

Maybe he or she just has a pure heart?

"Then I'm sorry to bother you!"

Ning Caichen finally took two steps back and bowed to Xu Wang.

Xu Wang accepted it calmly, and then took Ning Caichen to the main street again: "We don't have much food on us, let's go to the street to buy some food to bring with us, so as not to go hungry."

As he spoke, Xu Wang took another look at the dirty steamed bun in Ning Caichen's hand and sighed, "Do you think it's dirty, so you don't want to eat it? You even threw it away in the woodshed."

Ning Caichen stammered, not knowing how to answer.

"Forget it, if you don't want to eat it, just give it to me. We can't waste food. Many people now have to fight with others for grass roots."

As he spoke, Xu Wang reached out and took the steamed bun from Ning Caichen's hand.

When Ning Caichen saw this scene, he felt extremely ashamed.

After all, Ning Caichen was just a scholar who had read the books of sages for several years.

Of course, I know that every grain of rice is hard-earned.

I am very picky about my food.

Xu Wang, who is regarded as a weirdo by himself, cherishes food like gold.

Ning Caichen felt as if Xu Wang was glowing at this moment, so bright that he could hardly open his eyes.

wrong!

Not a feeling!

Xu Wang is really glowing!
To be precise, it was the strange gauntlet on Xu Wang's left hand that emitted a dazzling light, making it difficult for Ning Caichen to open his eyes.

"If you can recognize your mistakes, there is still hope."

Xu Wang watched Ning Caichen turn his head and rub his eyes, then turned off the high-intensity flashlight on his personal terminal with satisfaction.

He really didn't mind the dry bun on the ground and ate it in just a few bites.

Xu Wang's behavior is still so unpredictable.

But his behavior just now really earned him a lot of points in Ning Caichen's mind.

It even made Ning Caichen feel a little inferior.

This made Ning Caichen less wary of Xu Wang.

Following Xu Wang into a shop, Ning Caichen looked around and asked in confusion: "Why are we here in a pawnshop? Didn't we say we were going to buy some food?"

Xu Wang's expression didn't change at all, and he said quite naturally, "I picked up some trash and came here to sell it to empty my backpack."

"what?"

Ning Caichen was very strange.

Clearly, Xu Wang's sentence did not contain any unfamiliar words, but when put together, why was it so difficult for him to understand?

"What do you want to pawn?"

At the pawnshop front desk, the boss was sitting in the back, staring at Xu Wang with half-open eyes.

Xu Wang raised his hand and tapped his personal terminal.

Five sets of armor, five long swords, and some miscellaneous items appeared on the wooden table in the foreground.

The shop owner was so shocked by the method of taking something out of thin air that his eyes widened.

Ning Caichen saw it from behind and acted the same as the shop owner.

I was startled at first, then I reacted.

Why do these clothes look so familiar?

Look at the bloodstains above.

Ning Caichen reacted immediately. Aren’t these the valuables from the bodies of the thieves who were hacked to death by Xiahou outside Guobei County?
"Why are you taking other people's things?!"

Ning Caichen was a little anxious, so he quickly pulled Xu Wang aside and asked in a low voice.

Xu Wang was even more anxious than him: "You, you, you! How dare you slander someone's innocence? I didn't take anyone else's things. These were all unwanted and I picked them up with great effort!"

“These are all the fruits of my labor!”
