Volume 1: Reincarnation Cycle First...
Those other two private soldiers also struck and killed one after another, their methods were so ruthless that they made people's tongues crack.
When Lu Buqi, covered in blood, walked back with several corpses, panting heavily, Wang Shuangqiao looked at him with a terrified expression, but there was no fear in her eyes. Perhaps it was because of Lu Buqi's previous heroic actions that had deeply impressed her, so even though he became more and more brutal afterwards, she only felt terror towards the scene, but not towards Lu Buqi himself.
Lu Bu didn't pay attention to Wang Shuangqiao, but instead looked at the gloomy-faced Wang Lishou: "Old Wang, if we don't kill them, there will be endless troubles! The opportunity I finally got can't be ruined by these scum."
Wang Leshou let out a long sigh: "I know, but..."
As they spoke, Wang Lishou looked at Wang Shuangqiao. If it were just the two of them, killing these ten scoundrels would be nothing more than that. But with this person by their side, if she didn't keep her mouth shut, it would bring about a huge disaster.
Wang Shuang's body trembled slightly, and from Wang Lishou's eyes, she felt a sense of danger, but she didn't know why she had this feeling.
Lu Buqi shook his head: "She's a very clever girl, I think she absolutely won't talk about today's matter..."
Wang Shuangqiao indeed did not disappoint Lu Buqi's praise, biting her lower lip and nodding repeatedly: "I... I won't tell anyone about what happened to me today except my mother..."
"Even your mother doesn't want to say it, otherwise not only will we not end up well, but your mother will also be implicated!" Wang Lishou's heavy voice scared Wang Shuangqiao, who grabbed Lu Buqi's hand and shook her head hastily: "I won't say it, I won't even tell my mother, even if you kill me I won't say..."
"Alright, stop thinking about it, pick up your basket and mushrooms, and go home!" Lu Buqi only had the mind to take a look at what this girl looked like at this time, and when he took a look, he was really startled.
Through the disheveled hair, one could still make out that this was a beautiful young woman. With slender eyebrows and large eyes, an upturned nose and cherry lips, she was still young, with a face that retained some of its baby fat, making her look less coquettish than other women, but in a few years, she would probably grow into a stunning beauty, no wonder those private soldiers had their lustful thoughts stirred.
"I... I don't dare!" Wang Shuang looked at Lu Buqi with a mixture of fear and trepidation.
It's also understandable, a 14 or 15-year-old little girl, first encountered being chased by bandits and almost got raped, then two chivalrous men appeared, but like a killing star reincarnated, in the blink of an eye they slaughtered all ten people, if her nerves weren't shattered, that would be considered very strong.
"Alright, you take the goods to that beach over there and wait for us. We'll head back to town together later!" Wang Lishou spoke up, pointing to the beach where they were drying animal hides. Although he was reluctant to get involved in this matter, since he had started it, he would see it through to the end.
Wang Shuangqiao couldn't help but look at Lu Buqi, she didn't know why, but towards this young man whose name she didn't even know, she had an even stronger sense of trust than with Wang Lishou.
"Go ahead, you won't want to see how we annihilate!" Lu Buqi's voice was somewhat cold, but when it reached Wang Shuangqiao's ears, he felt a warmth.
Wang Shuangqiao quickly ran back, carefully avoiding some bloodstains on the ground, picked up her wooden basket and the mushrooms she had painstakingly obtained, and then jogged to the beach where animal hides were drying.
Dig a deep pit, bury the body... destroy the evidence! Although it doesn't seem like a difficult task, doing it professionally is not an easy thing. After Wang Lishou's case was discovered, even though he had personally participated in this matter, there was no sign that a major murder case had occurred here, and ten bodies were deeply buried in the nearby mountain forest.
All of this was done by Lu Buqi, who even handled the bloody sand and stones with a clean and tidy manner. His skilled hands made Wang Lishou click his tongue in amazement, and he secretly admired that this young man must have done many such things to be so professional.
The two of them went to the Guolo River and washed their blood-stained bodies clean. The river breeze blew, and the bloody smell had already disappeared, only the sky was gradually darkening, and in the blink of an eye, another day would pass.
Looking at Wang Shuangqiao curled up and lying on the silver-white wolf skin, Wang Lishou couldn't help but snort with laughter: "We're working ourselves to death over there, and this little girl can actually sleep!"
Lu Buqi lightly pinched the tip of her nose: "This shows that she has a good mental quality and can do what we ask, but if she sleeps like this, she's likely to catch a cold."
Wang Lishou nodded: "Wake her up, it's probably still over ten miles away from Guozhen Town, and I don't know how she can run so far to pick mushrooms!"
"You don't really think she's a spy, do you?" Lu Buqi pursed his lips: "In my opinion, the lives of ordinary people aren't much better than ours in Zezhou..."
"Yes, in Zeno's world there are fierce beasts and precious beasts that can take your life at any time. In the common people's world, there are also bandits and robbers... it's not easy to live in either! Wang Lishou's rugged face was full of emotion: "If I had known that the mushroom in the baozi shop's chicken and mushroom bao came from such a place, I should have given them a few more coins."
"How much money, you also have the nerve to ask for it?" Lu Buqi looked at Wang Lishou with disdain. In these three months, Lu Buqi had learned a lot about this world's basic things during his boring time.
For example, the currency commonly used in Yunze State today consists of bronze round coins and black iron knife coins. Lu Buji roughly estimated their value: one copper coin is equivalent to one wen, which is about the same as one yuan in Hua Xia State, enough to buy two buns. And one black iron knife coin is equal to ten copper coins. Last year, when Wang Bo spent 100 knives, it wasn't considered stingy, although it's not a lot of money, it's enough for some days' use.
Just now, when destroying the evidence, Lu Buqi, who had never seen the world, restrained his thoughts of taking over the good single knife, but also did not refuse to put all the money into his pocket, which was about 134 knives.
Although it was a small amount of money, Lu Buji still followed the principle of sharing profits equally and shared it with Wang Lishou, so he would say that Wang Lishou was stingy.
Wang Leshou rolled his eyes in annoyance: "A few more coins every day, and it's not a small amount of money after a month. I'm not her deceased father Wang Erxi, so I don't have the obligation to support her and Widow Baozi."
Just as he was about to wake up Wang Shuangqiao, Lu Bujiu was slightly stunned: "Her father is dead?"
"She had long since passed away, her mother a widow, who was remembered by many people, but did not remarry, and made a living by selling buns. We all called her the bun-selling widow." Wang Lishou responded calmly: "I haven't paid attention in years, this little girl has grown up quite well. In my opinion, once you are given a surname by the master's family and you shed your Ze Nu identity, you can take this girl in. That way, today's efforts won't be in vain!"
"Old Wang, you're so tacky!" Lu Buqi couldn't help but give him a sideways glance: "It's you who has ideas about the widow Baozi, and yet you want to take advantage of me as a cheap son-in-law?"
Wang Leshou listened, and in his surprise, he burst out laughing: "Alright, I'm indeed vulgar... but now that you mention it, it's not a bad thing after all. Well, when I get back, I'll take care of that widow Baozi, the demon, and spare her from causing trouble in our village, haha..."
"Keep your voice down, or you'll be heard and that old face of yours will be hung up?" Lu Buqi was somewhat helpless, this Wang Lishou really wasn't someone who knew how to take a loss.
When Lu Buqi bent down to wake up Wang Shuangqiao, he didn't expect that Wang Shuangqiao would suddenly shout and hug him tightly, shouting for help. It wasn't until a few seconds later that Wang Shuangqiao suddenly came back to her senses, released her hands and lay on the ground, looking at Lu Buqi with a red face: "I... I'm sorry, I just had a nightmare..."
At this moment, Wang Shuangqiao looked pitiful, making people want to protect her. Lu Buqi couldn't deny it either, the fragrance lingering on his nose made him feel a sudden urge: "It's nothing, just a nightmare. Now, I'll send you home!"
"Oh!" Wang Shuangqiao hastily stood up, then half-knelt down to help tidy up the dried animal hides, her face flushed for a long time.
Because of this, Wang Lishou couldn't help but tease Lu Boyu and Wang Shuangqiao all the way, saying that they were destined to be together and would probably be entangled with each other for their whole lives. Wang Shuangqiao walked behind Lu Boyu with her head down and face red, not saying a word, presumably too embarrassed to speak.
Lu Bu ignored him and just urged them to hurry along, leaving Wang Lishou to amuse himself. On the road, the three of them encountered a group of ten private soldiers on patrol, but thanks to Wang Lishou's easy handling of the situation, they passed through without incident.
This little episode, however, made Wang Lishou and Lu Buqi quite surprised at Wang Shuangqiao, because although Wang Shuangqiao was also a bit afraid, she only showed the normal timidity of a little girl, without any panic, it can be seen that Wang Shuangqiao's psychological quality has grown quite fast.
When night had completely fallen, Lu Buqi finally took an important step in his life and saw the legendary Guazhan Town, a sacred place in the heart of Zelan, a dense forest, a small border town that was almost forgotten by the world.
