Chapter 20: Master Qin

"Brother, you're back. I've cooked the soup and am waiting for you to come back for dinner."

Little Stone came forward and took the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as the paper-wrapped pig's head from Zhong Lin's hands.

"I just slipped on the road. I'll go in and change my clothes. Put these things in the study and find a plate to put the pig's head on."

"Ok!"

He ran around with his short legs, seemingly tirelessly.

Zhong Lin also went back to his room and changed into a gray shorts. He washed his face with clean water. The red handprint on his cheek had not completely disappeared, and a feeling of pain continued to arouse the anger in his heart.

"I just want to live well and freely. Since you don't want me to live, I will kill you first." Zhong Lin's face was full of cold murderous intent.

It's just murder, it's not like I haven't killed before.

I was still nervous when I killed the first person, but I became more nervous the more I killed.

Sometimes killing people is easier than going into the mountains to hunt. After all, hunting not only requires finding prey, but also preventing the prey from escaping, while killing people only requires one knife.

He put down the chopsticks in his hand, walked to the door and looked at the sky.

The sky was a little cloudy during the day, and now there is not even a star in the night sky. There is a faint chill in the air, which is a sign that the autumn rain is coming.

"It's a dark and windy night. What beautiful weather!"

"Shi Tou, I'm going out to do something. Close the door tightly. Don't open it unless I call you."

Zhong Lin gave orders.

Little Stone, who was about to wash the dishes, looked at the bow and arrow in his second brother's hand, as well as the leather belt around his waist. Being precocious, he had some vague guesses and nodded heavily.

"Second brother, be careful."

Zhong Lin smiled, reached out and touched Xiao Shitou's head, without saying anything, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

……

"Drink, damn, you're just raising fish! Drink it quickly."

"Don't rush me, big brother. I'm just waiting for some fish. I've just caught some sea bass from the East Market. They go best with wine after being steamed."

"Bullshit, I don't know you, you son of a bitch, you just want me to drink three cups of fish head wine, don't you want to get me drunk? I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, and you still want to get me drunk? Wait until next life!"

In a private house, Qin Yong and Xing San were drinking and playing drinking games under an oil lamp.

A plate of scrambled eggs, a large pot of stewed bones, a plate of peanuts, and a strong smell of wine lees filled the entire room.

"I never thought that a chicken that lays golden eggs would appear on the street where I, Qin Er, was looking. This is truly a blessing from heaven. It feels so good."

Qin Yong picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, his voice becoming even more arrogant.

The fat-faced Xing San also said excitedly: "Who said it wasn't? Eighteen taels of silver! That kid has earned a full eighteen taels of silver in just one afternoon. This kid is not a goose that lays golden eggs, this kid is clearly a cash cow. But big brother, we want twenty taels of silver a day, isn't that too little?" "Too little? Not a small amount. You also said that this kid is a cash cow. He can earn eighteen taels of silver in one afternoon. We asked him for twenty taels of silver, which is not too much or too little. Although it hurts, it's not worth risking our lives. If we ask for more, what if this kid runs away?"

"He dares? I'll break his legs, lock him up in the house and make him paint every day, and then we'll sell them." Xing San slammed the table and shouted angrily.

"Alright," Qin Yong said, his eyes full of shrewdness. "We can't keep this cash cow. You've seen that kid's paintings. I haven't seen any better paintings in all of Heishan County. Sooner or later, he'll be noticed by some big shot. He'll either become someone's guest of honor or someone's caged bird. What we have to do now is to make a fortune before he's noticed by some big shot."

"This……"

Xing San's face was filled with reluctance. Twenty taels of silver a day! This was something he had never dared to think about before. One day's harvest was equivalent to a normal year's harvest. How could he bear to give up such a cash cow?

Qin Yong naturally saw Xing San's reluctance and warned him, "Xing San, I'm telling you, don't try any crooked tricks. Do you know why I've been able to stay in the Blackwater Gang for so long, becoming its leader and managing an entire street? Those who joined the gang with me are either dead or disabled, and now I'm the only one left? It's because I'm not greedy. I know what I should and shouldn't take. Otherwise, sooner or later, you'll end up dead in a stinking ditch."

"understood."

Xing San answered in a muffled voice, picked up the wine glass and took a big gulp.

Qin Yong was too lazy to pay attention to the big fool and shouted at the gate: "Is the fish ready? If you don't bring it up soon, I'm going to starve to death."

"I'm coming."

A crisp and slightly charming voice came from the kitchen, followed by a woman wearing a red short-sleeved shirt and a blue horse-faced skirt walking out.

The woman was holding a pot of steamed sea bass in her hand, and she was walking from the kitchen to the main hall, swaying with every step. Under the light, it could be seen that the woman was about 26 or 27 years old, with a slightly pointed chin, thin cheeks, and a pair of peach blossom eyes. Although she was not extremely beautiful, her appearance was above average among women.

"You're starving! The dogs have eaten everything on the table! If you hadn't brought back so much silver today, I wouldn't have served you."

The woman put the sea bass in her hand on the table with a bang, and without giving Qin Yong a chance to speak, she twisted her waist and walked into the side bedroom.

"What the hell..."

He brought back so much silver today, but he didn't expect that his wife wouldn't give him face in front of his brothers. Qin Yong was so angry that his blood boiled and he slapped the table in anger.

"Hey, brother, brother, drink, drink."

Xing San quickly stepped forward and pulled Qin Yong to drink, and his eyes secretly dug a fierce look at his sister-in-law's twisting buttocks. The plumpness that could not be covered by the skirt made a heat rise from his lower abdomen.

Qin Yong snorted coldly, took a sip of wine and cursed, "Just wait, you bitch. I'm going to make you kneel down and beg for mercy."

"Hey! Who doesn't brag?! If you can hold on for a cup of tea, I'll kneel down and serve you. With your small body, my third brother is better than you."

A charming voice came from the bedroom, and one sentence made Qin Yongsan's corpse spirit jump into a rage.

"Damn it, today I'm going to let you know how many eyes the Horse King has."

As he spoke, he stood up and strode towards the bedroom. Soon, the woman's laughter and Qin Yong's panting were heard from the room, without any regard for the third person outside.

The third person in line naturally heard the sounds of the people in the room. He was already aroused and it was even more itchy. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all, saying loudly: "Brother, I need to pee."

"Go away and leave me alone."
