Merchant of the Underworld

Leng Ruyun wrapped his arms around me again and urged anxiously: "How are you doing?"

Suddenly, I felt a chill on my arms. I glanced out of the corner of my eye and found that the gold bracelet originally worn on Leng Ruyun's arm was like a swimming snake slowly wrapping around my arm, trying to get into me as it stretched its body. body of.

Needless to say, this must be an evil thing.

I hurriedly shook off Leng Ruyun and said with a smile: "It's hot, so everyone should keep some distance."

The gold bracelet failed to penetrate successfully and returned to Leng Ruyun's wrist. Leng Ruyun's face showed an annoyed look, not wanting to give up easily. At this moment, a young body came out from the grape trellis carrying a basin. As soon as she saw Leng Ruyun, she immediately lowered her head in fear and called out timidly: "Second...Second Miss..."

A cold light flashed in Leng Ruyun's eyes: "If you don't play with Xiao Ai at noon, what are you doing here?"

I also looked over and saw that the little girl was the one who was standing in front of the third floor window before and looked at me. When Leng Ruyun asked, she hurriedly said: "Miss Ai wants to eat grapes, I'll help her pick them." As she said this, she raised the basin in her hand, which was filled with grapes.

Leng Ruyun hummed: "Send me some later, I just have something to say to you."

The little girl under the sun was so frightened by her words that she shuddered: "It's... the second young lady."

Leng Ruyun waved to her, and the little girl ran away in a hurry. I looked at her back and felt strange when I heard Leng Ruyun say from the side: "I didn't expect Shopkeeper Zhang Da to have such a hobby. No wonder he is not interested in me."

I glanced at her puzzledly and saw that she had a look of realization on her face, obviously thinking of something. She came over and said, "So you like a little girl, don't worry, I'll let her go to your room tonight."

I was startled and shook my head hurriedly: "No, no, no, my taste is not that strong."

Leng Ruyun didn't listen to my explanation and left with a giggle.

There is simply no normal person in this family.

I felt like I had stepped on dog shit, so I turned around and walked back gloomily. I originally planned to wake up Mazi Li and go back to the room to rest for a while, but I saw Aunt Wang on the way. Because of Leng Ruyun’s crazy words before, I really wasn’t in the mood to deal with the Leng family anymore, but after seeing the bright shotgun in Aunt Wang’s hand, I couldn’t help but step forward and asked: “Aunt Wang , you are..."

Aunt Wang glanced at me lightly and said while loading bullets in the gun: "You actually know that I am aunt? It seems that you have done enough homework on the Leng family before coming here. Why, that guy Gul didn't tell you , do I usually like to play with guns?"

Seeing my surprised expression, she continued: "The grapes have been ripe recently, and there are always voles coming uninvited. I just use them to practice marksmanship and invite them to eat bullets."

Her phrase 'uninvited' was pun-intended, and she obviously brought me, the unwelcome guest, along with her.

"Do you have anything else to ask? If not, I'll go shoot the voles." After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she went to the grape field with a gun in hand without waiting for my reply. There happened to be a poor field mouse running by the grape trellis, and a gunshot was heard. The field mouse was on all fours, and had already gone to report to the Lord of Hell in advance.

One shot will kill, this shooting method is not simple.

Looking at Aunt Wang's old back, I felt that this seemingly ordinary old woman should not be underestimated.

I was not the only one who was shocked by this shot, but also Li Mazi who was sleeping. He was quite frightened and came over cursing. When he saw Aunt Wang holding the gun, he wisely shut his mouth.

I returned to the room in the afternoon, and Gul left after delivering the fruit. I sat in the room, fiddling with the Tianshan Order in my hand. Thinking back to the scenes after arriving at Leng's house, I felt that everyone seemed to be suspicious, but I didn't know who the murderer was?

Dinner was eaten in the room as usual. After Gur tried the poison, I asked him while eating: "Does the Leng family eat like this?"

Gur, who insisted not to eat at the same table as Li Mazi and me, nodded immediately: "Yes, it is said that it was not like this a long time ago. At that time, everyone ate at the same table, but they always quarreled. Later, when The head of the family has made a decision that from now on he will eat his own meals, so there will be no quarrels."

This is a good idea.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud. After dinner, Li Mazi and Gul both left. I was lying on the bed bored and thinking about something when I heard a knock on the door. I thought it was Li Mazi who couldn't bear the loneliness and ran over. Without raising his head, he called out to come in. Unexpectedly, it was the little girl who came in.

She moved uneasily, her shoulders still shaking, and there was a particularly clear fingerprint on her face, which showed that she had just been beaten.

I couldn't help but sit up: "Why are you here? What's wrong with you?"

The little girl's face turned pale: "No...nothing. It was the second lady who asked me to come. She said she wanted me to obey your orders." At this point, she was frightened to the extreme. Tears were rolling in her eyes, but she held on. Refuse to fall.

Thinking that Leng Ruyun would do anything to achieve his goals, I felt disgusted. Seeing that the little girl was so frightened, I had no choice but to comfort her and said, "I don't need your service here. You can go back and rest."

The little girl looked at me in surprise, and after making sure that I was not joking, she bit her lip and said, "Sir, I know you are a good person. Can I stay in your room for a while... If I go out now, the second lady will know If you don’t, you will definitely hit me again.”

When she said this, I immediately reacted.

Although this tarnishes my image of Zhang Jiulin as an upright person, what could be happier than helping others? I smiled at her: "Of course, you can sit down."

The little girl did not dare to sit down and stood in the corner without speaking.

In order to break the embarrassment and make her relax, I had no choice but to ask: "What's your name?"

"My name is Xiao Tao, and I serve Miss Xiao Ai."

Gul once told me that Leng Rushuang originally had an older brother, Leng Ruting, but he died while dealing with vaginal objects. At that time, he left behind a posthumous daughter named Leng Xiaoai, who was unable to move as soon as she was born due to a condition during pregnancy.

I nodded and was about to say something more when Xiao Tao seemed to have gathered her courage and said, "Mr. Zhang, the second lady said you are here to investigate the cause of the death of the old family master, right?" Before I could answer, she looked around. Look, he continued as if to make sure the surroundings were safe: "Actually, it was the new lady who poisoned me."
