Chapter 68 Blood-stained Silent Night
The rain in spring is always lingering, not as good as thunderstorms. It is like sugar water melted under the remnant sun in midsummer, as if it will never end, and people can't help but gradually turn into boredom from the perspective of appreciation.
There were continuous raindrops all over the sky, falling on every street corner of Liaocheng and every deep alley in Liaocheng.
Water droplets bring up a transparent and fragile rain curtain, and the blurred water vapor continues to drift, making the bright sky gradually darken and deep, until it is dark, forming a dark rainy night with continuous rain.
The empty streets have long had no footprints. No one will swim on the streets of the spring rain. Even the beggars have found their home, and they have all hidden under the rain. Therefore, the only thing left on the surface of Liaocheng is the loneliness and the lights in the streets and alleys.
The light is old, because it is candlelight.
Under the impact of rain, the lights look more dreamy and blurred. However, on such a vague street in the huge Liaocheng, there is a teenager wearing a hat walking continuously.
The teenager walked firmly and walked step by step. He was not afraid of the pouring rain, nor did he care that the water splashing on the road was wetting his trousers and shoes. This teenager is Lin Yi. Since he came out of the black market, the sky has been close to black.
Lin Yi kept walking forward tirelessly, through countless deep ancient alleys, walked through the long ancient streets of Liaocheng, and was about to walk to Liaocheng Street.
After a long time, he finally came to Liaocheng Street, but at this moment, the sky was already as deep as ink.
Looking at the sky above his head, Lin Yi's heart was inexplicably cold. He looked at the huge plaque in front of him, which was carved with a big word, which was eye-catching and dazzling.
The wooden plaque was quickly washed away by the rain and made a sound of sarcastic conspiracy in the light. Lin Yi's calm heart was disturbed by the noise of the rain. In his heart, he kept recalling the shopkeeper's conspiracy and cold blood, and the treacherous voice of the other party's mouth to take his life, so he began to fall more aimlessly. The raindrops are even more angry.
The murderousness suddenly permeated his deep eyes and turned into bloody red silk. Lin Yi stood on the street where there was no rain, looking closely at this pawnshop that had been exchanged for silver. After a long time, he finally raised his steps and walked away.
......
......
"Xiaofu, you go and close the door. It's late today. Besides, it's raining in the spring rain, and there won't be any more business coming!" In the backyard of the pawnshop, Zhang Er said impatiently while eating dinner.
"Yes, the shopkeeper's!" As a little rich man, he heard about it and said respectfully.
Xiaofu turned around and went to the room to get an oil-paper umbrella, and then opened the umbrella and walked out of the courtyard and walked to the front room. As a subordinate, Xiaofu has to eat behind his master, and he can't eat at the same table with his master. What does the master say?
An empire with hierarchy is full of darkness and injustice, and the bookkeeper at this moment is the best example.
Mr. Book was injured and kept crying in the woodshed. When the maid around him saw that he was seriously injured, he did not dare to help at all, because the shopkeeper had told her before that he would not let Mr. Book die. The maid's submissive body trembled slightly and her face was a little panicked. She did not dare to step forward to help the bookkeeper, otherwise she would end up like the bookkeeper.
Xiaofu walked out of the inner courtyard and came to the pawnshop alone. He put down the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, stretched out his head to look at the street, and found that there was already no one on the street, and then he wanted to reach out his hand to close the door.
The door panel is a little heavy on Xiaofu's hair. After all, he is just a young man who is just 16 years old, and as a slave, life is very difficult. His status also makes him weak and thin as if he only has a skeleton.
He superimposed the door panels one by one, with a painstaking blood on his face, and a trace of tired sweat on his forehead. Seeing that there were only two pieces left on the door panel, Xiaofu gritted his teeth and was about to reach out to lift them. Then, at the moment when the door panel was moving, a cold sword suddenly penetrated through the crack of the door. The tip of the sword stared at the door panel he was about to lift.
A crisp sound!
This sudden sword couldn't help but scare Xiaofu. He wanted to open his mouth and scream for help, but the man in a hat who slowly appeared in front of him seemed to have the power that made it difficult for him to make it difficult for him to make a sound, so that the sound reached his throat was swallowed back to his stomach.
"If you make a sound, you can only die!" Lin Yi, wearing a black gauze hat, said coldly.
"Who are you?" Xiaofu stammered.
The panic made his voice tremble, and the three difficult words came out of his mouth. Lin Yi did not answer his question, but asked directly, "Where is the shopkeeper?"
"zhang... the shopkeeper is used in the backyard... Dinner, you are looking for a shopkeeper... What's the matter!!" Xiaofu is still extremely frightened, and it is difficult for his tone to return to normal.
For a person who can only obey since childhood, he will always instinctively generate a lot of fear when he sees a sword on his neck, and these fears are enough to make him lose all resistance. Therefore, Lin Yi's sword is enough to make Xiaofu obey all orders. He continued, "Take me in! "
"Yes, come this way with me!!" Xiaofu was stunned and then turned to the backyard, his footsteps staggered and dull.
Lin Yi pulled out the sharp sword that pierced the entry board and then put it on his neck with one hand. If Xiaofu would shout and struggle on the way in, he would never mind killing him directly. Fortunately, Xiaofu was clever all the way to the inner courtyard and did not scream, so Lin Yi could not find a reason to kill him. .
Lin Yi has never killed innocent people indiscriminately, but the shopkeeper must die!
Xiaofu stepped out of a threshold, and Lin Yi followed him. Zhang Er was a little surprised to see Xiaofu coming out. His face was ugly and said, "Did you close the door so soon?"
seemed to be instinctively afraid of the shopkeeper, or Xiaofu was worried that the sharp sword on his back would directly penetrate his chest. He hesitated and silently for a long time, and then lied, "Shopkeeper, there is still a business that has not been done!"
Huh? Zhang Er heard the words, thought about it, and then asked, "Where is the other party?"
"I'm right here!" Lin Yi quietly put away his blade, then stepped directly from the back of the little rich man and said.
Due to the black gauze hat on his head and the weak candlelight in the drizzle night, Zhang Er could not see Lin Yi's face, but this figure did not look towering. Obviously, it belonged to the petite body, and Zhang Er was a very shrewd person. In an instant, he heard the other party's accent and seemed to be a little familiar. .
So, Zhang Er saw Lin Yi gradually approaching and couldn't help asking, "What do you want to exchange with this pawn!"
Lin Yi did not answer and quickly walked through the courtyard and kept approaching Zhang Er. Zhang Er was slightly angry when he saw that the other party ignored him, but he did not dare to be too unscrupulous. He asked calmly again, "What on earth do you want to change?"
Lin Yi walked under the eaves of the inner courtyard and stopped. His eyes were through the black veil in front of him. He stared at the shopkeeper in front of him and said coldly, "Come here tonight, not for pawn, just to take your life!"
