Zhao Zheng came in good spirits and returned in despair. He frowned and walked towards his home. Along the way, he repeatedly recalled everything that had just happened. When he thought of Lin Jiyuan, he couldn't help but feel angry. When he thought of Lin Zhong, he couldn't help but feel angry.
When I was a child, those anger disappeared again, especially when I thought of the pitiful look of Lin Zhong'er looking back with tears in her eyes, those anger couldn't be lifted up anymore.
"No, I can't just leave like this. That 'Flying Flea' Du Qian might come over someday. If I leave, who will protect Lin Zhong'er? Besides, those Cloud-Stepping Boots are very important to me, I must
Got it." Zhao Zheng changed his mind, stopped halfway, turned around and came back.
Since Lin Jiyuan didn't welcome him, he would no longer go to Huichun Medical Center. There were houses everywhere around him, so he just needed to find one to stay in.
As the saying goes, it is easy to do things if you have money, Zhao Zheng quietly returned to the area near Huichun Medical Center, found the family next door to Huichun Medical Center, made accommodation with the head of the household, spent dozens of taels of silver, and rented a small house from this family's courtyard.
He also told the head of the household to keep this secret and not to tell anyone.
The head of the household helped Zhao Zheng tidy up the hut, moved a wooden bed over, and set up a temporary fire pot for heating. Although the hut was a bit crude, it could only make do. A warrior travels around the world and sleeps in the open air.
Having a homely life and living in a small house is considered a good thing.
Zhao Zheng started practicing in the hut and spent the day practicing. When it was late at night, he put on a set of black night clothes, opened the door and left the house.
He looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he jumped up and hit the wall with one foot. He took advantage of the force and flew up to the roof. He walked along the roof covered with black tiles and stared at the roof.
The general situation above and below, thinking about which direction Du Qian might jump into Huichun Medical Center if he came, and where he should hide to wait for his attack.
At this time, the cold moon was hanging high, and the moonlight filled the earth. The roofs of thousands of houses were connected together, and the outline could be vaguely distinguished. However, Zhao Zheng standing on the roof looked like a big black cat, and could only be seen.
A black shadow.
Zhao Zheng walked around the houses where he lived, and then jumped onto the roof of Huichun Medical Center. He made a soft sound when he landed, but it didn't alert the neighbors. He walked carefully to the southwest corner of Huichun Medical Center.
On the edge of the building, the location here was better. He could see both the street and the patio. He felt uncomfortable squatting, so he simply sat on the roof tiles, with one leg bent and the other leg bent.
It hung down.
Every household around him was immersed in a gentle dream, but Zhao Zheng stayed alone on the cold and windy roof, thinking about how to kill someone.
In the past, he would never have been calm about killing people, but now he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. The reason why he became so bold is because of the two life-and-death battles he experienced before.
Once he has experienced life and death, his courage will naturally become much greater, just like sharpening a sword on sandstone, the sharper it becomes. He has quietly transformed through dangerous experiences again and again, and his sharp edges are beginning to emerge.
After some observation, Zhao Zheng found a suitable place to squat. This place is on the roof to the north of Huichun Medical Center, where he can hide behind the slope of the roof. No matter whether Du Qian came from the east or the west,
Even Du Qian could not see the situation behind the roof. Once Du Qian arrived and fell into the courtyard, he could strike from top to bottom with a thunder blow and kill him with a sword.
When attacking and injured, even if Du Qian was one level higher than him, he would still be sure of victory.
Winning is no longer a problem, now it’s time to consider the problems after winning.
Although this world is ancient, the laws and punishments are complete, and killing people randomly is not acceptable. Fortunately, when Du Qian appeared, he was absconding with a crime, so killing him was not a crime, and there was no need to worry about it.
"After killing him, I took off his boots, found a deserted place and hid them in the system warehouse. But if his body had no boots, would it arouse suspicion?" Zhao Zheng
I turned this idea around in my mind, thought about it for a moment, and made some calculations.
He could buy several pairs of boots of different sizes in advance, and after killing Du Qian, he could find suitable boots for Du Qian to put on, so that he would not be noticed.
He nodded and decided to take time to go out and buy a few pairs of boots tomorrow, leaving them for Du Qian's body to wear.
All the problems have been solved. There is no need to do anything else, just wait for Du Qian to show up.
In the game, the mission about Du Qian appeared in October, but now it is only the end of September.
Because Zhao Zheng was worried that Du Qian might arrive early, he started squatting tonight. He lay on the roof of the house he had found and quietly observed the movement on the house. He lay like this all night,
In the second half of the night, he felt a faint chill all over his body. Since he wanted to recharge his batteries, he did not dare to waste his inner strength, so he could only endure the cold silently, without any exercise to drive away the cold.
After a night like this, Du Qian never showed up. In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Zheng returned to the rented cabin, changed his clothes, and took a nap. After arriving at Dongfang Dabai, he went out to eat something and bought a few pairs.
boots, then come back and rest.
When he squatted in the pit the next night, he learned a lesson and wore thicker clothes. He also brought a bottle of wine, planning to drink it to drive away the cold. On this cold night, it was not a bad idea to drink wine with the cold wind.
Quite a poetic thing.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and Lin Jiyuan walked to the door of his granddaughter's boudoir carrying a dinner plate and several steaming meals, knocked on the door a few times, and said softly with a grimace: "My good granddaughter,
What grandpa said yesterday was too serious. Don’t take it to heart. Grandpa is here to apologize to you. You haven’t had a serious meal in the past two days. I personally cooked some special dishes for you. You can eat quickly.
Order it. If you don't eat, you'll be starving."
"Grandpa, I'm not hungry, please take the food away." Lin Zhong'er's voice came faintly from inside the house.
"Nonsense, you only had a few bites of food for dinner, how can you not be hungry?"
"I really don't want to eat."
"Open the door and I will bring you the food. You must eat the food tonight. If you don't eat it, then I will go on a hunger strike with you starting tomorrow. If you don't eat, I won't eat either." Lin Jiyuan threatened.
road.
"Grandpa, don't make things difficult for me."
"It's not me making things difficult for you, it's obviously you making things difficult for me."
Lin Zhonger in the room stopped talking. After a short while, he opened the door and welcomed his grandfather in. After the two entered the room, Zhao Zheng could not hear the specific content of the conversation outside.
Zhao Zheng felt very puzzled. Yesterday, Lin Jiyuan was so cruel to his granddaughter. Why did he make a 180-degree turn today? What kind of medicine was sold in Lin Jiyuan's gourd? He couldn't think of it.
The explanation, in the end, I simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, it was a family matter and had nothing to do with him.
After a while, Lin Zhonger's door was opened, and Lin Jiyuan came out with some leftovers. It could be seen that Lin Zhonger still didn't eat much, but he finally ate some. Seeing Lin Zhonger
After eating, Zhao Zheng was quite happy.
From then on, Zhao Zheng would lie on the roof of Huichun Medical Center every night, waiting for Du Qian to appear. Several days passed, but he still could not wait for the thief. He waited from the end of September to the beginning of October.
These few days between autumn and winter usher in the cold winter of this year.
…
The fifth day of October is the beginning of winter, so everything is not suitable.
The almanac says that everything is inappropriate, but few people take it seriously.
In the Jucai Gambling House in Qibao County, a group of gamblers were gambling money as usual, regardless of any inappropriate matters.
There are not many gambling games in this gambling house. There are three tables in the front hall, which are all small gambling tables, surrounded by some common people. In the back room, there are several single rooms, which are quieter and the gambling games are larger.
You can't go to the table without a few dozen taels of silver in your pocket.
Tonight, Jucai Casino has set up a special big gambling game, and the participants are all rich people who spend a lot of money, 90% of them are wealthy businessmen, with only one exception.
This man is a thief, and all the money in his pocket is stolen. Of course, only he knows that he is a thief. To outsiders, he is just a wealthy young man who spends money like water.
His name is Du Qian, Feiliang Flea Du Qian, a third-level Tianwu man who makes a living by stealing.
"Buy big, buy small, buy and leave!" the dealer yelled, scanning the gamblers in front of him with fiery eyes.
These people play dice, and the gameplay is very simple. The dealer shakes three dice in a dice cup, and then puts them on the table, allowing gamblers to bet on the number of the dice. If the bet is correct, the dealer will lose money.
, if the bet fails, the banker will collect the money.
There are three dice in total, which can randomly roll out a variety of points. It is not easy to bet on the right number. Gamblers are very selective in their bets. The simplest ones are big and small, odd and even numbers, and there are also straight numbers.
, leopard and other special points. Depending on the probability of appearance, the odds of betting are also different. Among them, the odds of small and large numbers and odd and even numbers are the lowest, while the odds of points such as straights and leopards with a low probability of appearance are higher.
Much more.
There are many squares drawn on the gambling table, and words such as "big", "small", "odd" and "even" are written in the squares. After the game starts, the gamblers will bet their money based on their own judgment.
Nowadays, many gamblers have made difficult choices and placed their bets on various squares with banknotes or silver ingots of varying values.
"Beauty, what do you think I should bet on?" Du Qian turned his head with a smile, looked at the delicate Liu Ying in his arms, and kissed Liu Ying's soft cheek.
"Sir, my family has lost three games in a row. I don't dare to play anymore. You'd better place your own bet." Liu Ying smiled and shook her head, then she lay softly into the man's arms.
"We've only lost three games. What's there to be afraid of? Maybe you can win this game." Du Qian raised the hand that had pried countless locks, took out a banknote from his arms, and put
One of the rolls was stuffed along the plump slit on Liu Ying's chest, "This money is rewarded to you. You can deposit whatever you want."
"Since the young master said so, I will be bold enough to help the young master for another game." Liu Ying smiled sweetly, took out the banknote, turned around with her beautiful eyes, and placed the "order" with the banknote.
