Chapter 10
Open the door sideways and close it with your feet.
Turning on the gas lamp, the crow dragged his seriously injured body and walked into the living room with his feet staggeringly, half-kneeling in front of the wooden frame where some porcelain and statues were placed, and using his fairly intact right hand to open the locked cabinet door at the bottom, dragging out a mahogany box containing a mechanical password lock.
The clinics that are still open at this time are almost all large clinics in Qingding City. He cannot come to seek treatment unless he wants to be surrounded by people from Jingye Department and the Inspection Department again.
It is even more impossible to find the so-called "friends" to help. If they know their current state, they may be able to destroy themselves without saying a word and then seize their things.
He could only return to his temporary place, but fortunately he had long been accustomed to leaving a way out for himself.
Accompanied by the clicking sound of the machine, the crow lifted the wooden box, first took out a few porcelain bottles, opened the red silk plug, poured out a few pills and swallowed them, tore open the clothes on the left shoulder, and then took out an injection and shot it on the shoulder.
These are all the medicines he bought for a lot of money, both domestically and externally. With his strong physique, the wound on his shoulder barely stopped bleeding. This is the most serious injury. As long as it can stabilize it and not worsen, the crow will have enough time to drag it until tomorrow to find a private clinic to further bandage the wound.
After leaning on the chair for a while, the sedation effect of the elixir and injections gradually took effect, and the physical pain was relieved, so the fatigue accumulated by the hard struggle turned into a drowsy sleepy surged.
The crow dared not sleep. His experience over the years told him that the more he was at this time, the more he could not relax. If a person like him wanted to live, he must always be vigilant.
He held his energy and stared at the door, listening to the sounds in the corridor outside the door.
Ten minutes, half an hour, one hour...
Time passes, and people's attention is limited after all. No matter how strong the will of a crow is, it is impossible to reverse the instinct of a creature. It is the limit to persist for so long in a serious injury state.
The clock on the wall pointed at a point, and the crow's chin pressed against his chest and fell completely asleep.
In a trance, the crow heard a burst of rapid footsteps. He was about to wake up, but there was a severe pain behind his head, and then his consciousness completely fell into darkness.
I don’t know how long it took, but I vaguely smelled a scent. The hungry crow opened his eyes and looked around in a daze. There was a bowl of thin skin and large filling on the table next to me.
Green green onion was dotted among the soup, and the heat was everywhere. His appetite urged him to reach out to get it, but when he really wanted to do it, he was shocked to find that he could no longer move.
I lowered my head and saw the rope on my body, and I was stunned in place with a stiff body, like falling into an ice cellar!
"I finally woke up and I was sleeping so hard. I saw that the window in your bedroom was not locked and came in by myself. Don't you mind?"
A vague sound rang on the right side. The crow turned his head and saw a young man with a vaguely familiar face holding a bowl of wontons and slowly siping the soup.
"I bought wontons from nearby stores. I just went there specially. I was afraid that you would be hungry after waking up. I know you really want to eat them. Don't worry, this is what I bought for you. I asked two questions and left after asking. If it goes well, the wontons will not be cold at that time."
Lu Jiu actually found the hiding place of the crow more than half an hour ago, but she had never taken action.
The crow at that time was like a beast that had just been injured and licked its wounds.
Although the injury is severe, it is also the time for great ferocity.
Lu Jiu also fell into a weak state due to excessive blood loss during the battle in the alley. If it weren't for his special body, he would have died suddenly on the spot.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Jiu is ready to give full play to his own advantages.
He bet that his injuries would recover faster than the crows!
It turns out that his choice was correct.
"you......"
Sanya finally remembered who the other person's face corresponded to, and noticed that his clothes were as well as dark red blood stains on his left arm and chest. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he only showed an incredible expression.
"Now I should know why I fought with you in that alley. If you don't let me live, I will naturally have to fight with you."
He picked up a wonton and put it into the vinegar plate on the table, picked it up with chopsticks, and the thick gravy floated on the vinegar surface. Lu Jiu glanced at the cicada, then picked it up and put it in his mouth.
"I fell into trouble this time. I didn't expect you to hide so deeply... No wonder you were going to steal the note. It turned out that you were coveting that treasure."
He looked up and looked straight into Lu Jiu's eyes, and the crow said in a muffled voice.
He did not choose to remain silent, because the reason was very simple. The bowl of wontons on the table told him that he might still have a chance to survive.
Who would specially prepare wontons for the dead?
"Since it is a treasure, I will naturally live in it, and I will not regard it as if I had seen nothing."
Lu Jiu continued to say the words of the Sang Ya with a plain expression, but his mind was thinking about the information he revealed.
‘The reason why the Crow wanted to kill his predecessor was that he stole a note that might have recorded the information of a treasure.’
In Sanya's opinion, both sides knew this news, but Lu Jiu actually had no memory of this part.
"Well said, those who are capable are there... but you have not even completed spiritual awakening, so how dare you say that you are capable?"
The battle just now was enough to make Sanya make a preliminary judgment on Lu Jiu's strength. If there were no serious injuries caused by the battle with Ruan Qingyu, it would be easy for him to kill the man in front of him!
"I'm very curious. Since you know that I took the note, don't you want to take it back? Just do it directly, and don't you be afraid of losing the information you remembered?"
Lu Jiu did not mean to mock each other with Sanaya, but just continued to ask.
"Do you think I'm here to kill you just because of that note?"
The crow twisted his neck and said with a grim smile
"You may not know who you offended until now. If you let me go, when I am safe, you will naturally tell you their identities and solutions to this problem. Otherwise, you will never be able to live in peace in your life!"
With his keen intuition, Sandra quickly captured the key points of Lu Jiu's words and guessed the reason why the latter did not kill him.
Lu Jiu looked at the crow, and he had to admit that this guy was able to get to this point, both in terms of force and intelligence.
"I have no intention of being an enemy of you. I don't think you will be guilty of murder because of me, a scum... I can apologize to you for the previous incident. You can take the things in the box as long as you untie my rope and leave. Three days later, go to the gate of Zuixian Tower in the south of the city to get the news."
First point out the other party's weaknesses, then give in, and express your willingness to reconcile. In the eyes of Sanya, Lu Jiu is always just a young man with some strength and good luck.
He has seen many such people over the years. They are just starting out and killing people is difficult for them. As long as they seize the opportunity, they can eat that bowl of wontons.
"You're smart."
Lu Jiu suddenly stood up, stood in front of the crow, holding the short knife that originally belonged to the latter in his right hand.
“You will be grateful for your decision today.”
Looking up at Lu Jiu, Sanya thought that it might be good to use this head as a wine glass after it was hollowed out.
"Yes, I feel so!"
The blade pierced into his throat, extremely clean and neat. He took a step back and looked at the crow who was trembling and whimpering, covering his throat, Lu Jiu looked indifferent.
It’s not because of bloodthirsty or evil nature, but because of the fact that killing the crow itself is not only true, but it is very correct.
After all, this guy has committed many family-killing cases, and this way of death is considered a cheaper one.
As for the people she had messed with, Lu Jiu did not intend to prove it from this liar who was full of lies.
To put it bluntly, if Lu Jiu had really agreed to the other party's conditions, he would have been waiting for him at the restaurant gate that day, he would probably have two sharp short swords that had been sharp for three days.
Turning back and lifting the mahogany box, Lu Jiu finally glanced at the smile that had not yet dissipated on Sun Ya’s stiff face. He raised the wonton bowl on his right hand and curled his lips: “This bowl of wontons was originally for you to eat and go on the road, but now, you should be hungry.”
After disposing of the body, cleared the traces of his visit, and returned along the original path. Lu Jiu walked alone in the middle of the street late at night, with empty surroundings.
He hummed the songs from his previous life in his mouth.
The only song in this world that he can understand...
In fact, Lu Jiu seemed so calm when he killed the crow, and there were other reasons.
For Lu Jiu, this world is always unfamiliar. He has no real friends or relatives. To some extent, even his own identity is "borrowed" others.
He may make certain decisions based on his predecessor's memory, such as helping Uncle Zhao's family, but that's all.
At least for now, he still has no sense of belonging to this world.
No worries.
