Because he was looking for that person in his heart, when he heard this voice, Xia Shang immediately recognized that it was Zhang Kui and couldn't help but feel very happy.
However, there was a century-old broken tree in the middle of the courtyard gate, blocking Xia Shang's view and unable to see clearly the appearance of the speaker inside.
Xia Shang hurriedly walked around the tree trunk and met the person who was also walking around the tree trunk.
"open……"
After saying a word, Xia Shang's face turned pale and he almost fell to the ground.
The face of the person in front of me... is really... too scary!
This is a strange half-man, half-copper face poured with copper juice. From the top of the head to the eyes, half of the face is covered by uneven brass. Only two eye sockets are exposed, but the eyes are pitch black, like
It is as empty as death, with no eyeballs. Below the eyes, the left half of the face is covered with obvious burn marks. The skin is burnt black and the flesh is red and everted. The whole face is uneven, more terrifying than a ghost.
, fortunately, the nose and mouth are still normal.
Xia Shang never expected to bump into such a person. His scalp felt numb and he almost screamed.
Fortunately, this man walked very carefully, touching the trunk of the tree little by little. He walked very unsteadily and had to test every step before he could take it. He didn't look like a monster.
Xia Shang broke out in a cold sweat and quickly calmed down. Just then, the person in front of him spoke again: "You bastard, are you still doing this for no reason? Why don't you come over and help me? I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I'm so hungry."
Listening to it in person, the voice was so familiar, and at the same time my heart sank. I lowered my voice and squeezed out two words: "Zhang Kui?"
When the other party heard this, he was shocked and took two steps back in panic: "You are not my son of a bitch, who are you?"
Xia Shang did not speak, but the other party's reaction had already verified what Xia Shang was thinking, and he couldn't help but feel a little more sad.
Although Zhang Kui has committed many evil deeds, he doesn't end up like this. Being a human like this is worse than death. Looking at the copper skin on his head, this is by no means a weird mask.
Instead, it is made by slowly pouring hot copper juice from the top of the head and solidifying naturally. Thinking about how painful the whole process will be, I feel weak in my legs.
Just as Xia Shang was about to speak, the person in front of him suddenly became excited and kept backing away, muttering: "Don't come to me... don't come to me... please let me go!"
"Zhang Kui, don't get excited."
"Don't come over! Don't come over!"
Zhang Kui screamed, his face was completely ulcerated, and his expression could not be seen at all, but his voice was almost crazy. At this moment, Zhang Kui suddenly took out a knife from his arms, and the person the blade was pointed at turned out to be
It's himself.
He wants to commit suicide!
"Zhang Kui, it's me! I'm Xia Shang!"
After hearing these words, Zhang Kui finally stopped raising his hand in the air and softened his tone: "Xia... Shang, Xia Shang... Xia... Young Master."
"it's me!"
At this time, Zhang Kui didn't know what he thought of, and he became a little excited: "Go away, I am not Zhang Kui, Zhang Kui is dead."
Xia Shang was about to go up and give him a hand, but suddenly there was movement outside the door, and that boy Hong Qi also came back here.
He didn't expect that Xia Shang was there. The moment he saw Xia Shang, he was about to run away, but Xia Shang didn't give him a chance and grabbed his hand.
"You still want to run away now? Since Zhang Kui is crazy and speechless, it is up to you to explain what happened to Zhang Kui. However, you can rest assured, as long as you speak nicely and explain what I want to know,
I won’t embarrass you.”
Hong Qi wanted to break free, but after trying, he found that it was in vain, so he became honest at the moment, walked to Zhang Kui with Xia Shang, sat down, and then began to be in a daze.
Zhang Kui also calmed down at this moment, holding Hong Qi's other arm firmly with one hand, trembling a little.
Xia Shang was silent for a while, and then asked: "In that case, let's make the story short. Please explain your current situation and why you have ended up in this situation?"
After asking, neither of them spoke and remained silent.
Xia Shang thought for a while and then asked: "Let me ask a simple question first. Why did you lie to me that the person I was looking for was in Shuiyue Villa? Who was the instigator behind your back?"
The two of them still lowered their heads and had no intention of speaking.
Think about how arrogant Zhang Kui was back then? It's better now. He doesn't even have the courage to raise his head and say a word to Xia Shang. It's really a bit pitiful when you think about it.
Xia Shang understood that what he was asking was the most painful story Zhang Kui had ever experienced in his life, so his silence was understandable.
When Zhang Kui was silent, Xia Shang also thought a lot.
Before coming here, I had planned to teach Zhang Kui a good lesson when I saw him, not only because I was angry that he deliberately misled me, but also for the sins he had committed. But now that I saw it, he had received his retribution, and it turned out that he had indeed fulfilled his original purpose.
That sentence - live worse than a beggar.
Xia Shang was a soft-hearted person, especially towards his own people. After all, he had trained and supported Zhang Kui himself. Seeing how miserable he was, the resentment in Xia Shang's heart disappeared unconsciously.
"Zhang Kui, no matter what, you can be regarded as cultivated by me. Now you are like this, it can be said that it is your own fault. But I, Xia Shang, am a person who protects my shortcomings. Who exactly harmed you? Tell me the truth.
, maybe I can get revenge on you."
As soon as the word revenge came out, Zhang Kui trembled all over, raised his head slightly unconsciously, and then slowly lowered his head again.
But Hong Qi stood up and stared at Xia Shang: "Can you really take revenge on my godfather?"
"There are no guarantees, but there is always hope."
Hong Qi's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he almost said: "Yes..."
"Sit down!" Zhang Kui shouted, interrupting Hong Qi's voice.
Xia Shang frowned, and Zhang Kui continued: "Better... let's talk inside first."
Zhang Kui stood up and walked little by little toward the shabby mansion in the courtyard, supported by Hong Qi.
After entering the dilapidated house and sitting on a pile of hay, Zhang Kui breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Hong Qi: "You bastard, you go out first. I'll talk to the young master alone."
Hong Qi left, leaving Xia Shang and Zhang Kui behind.
Xia Shang was not in a hurry and stood aside waiting for Zhang Kui to think about it.
Zhang Kui was silent for a long time, and the first thing he said was: "Sir, I, Zhang Kui, took the blame on myself. All this is retribution. I didn't think about revenge, so you better not ask any more questions. I was the one who listened to the bitch in the first place.
I deliberately misled the young master and wanted to get rid of the young master with the help of others. I repaid the young master with such kindness that no one or ghost had any complaints. It was just that when the young master traced the true whereabouts of Miss Chunjiao... I... I couldn't tell the young master.
"
"Why?"
Zhang Kui smiled miserably: "Because Young Master and I are just ants in this world. At first I thought that I was already high above the world, but we could be easily crushed to death by others, even worse than an ant. Young Master, the darkness in this world is not yours and mine."
It can be shaken. If you continue to investigate, you may end up with the same fate as Zhang Kui. Therefore, I will not tell you." (To be continued)
