Chapter 35: Must Kill

This family happened to be Fugui's. There were bloodstains on Fugui's face, traces of whipping. He looked at Chen Shi who climbed over the wall in horror.

Fugui's legs went weak and he wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy.

Chen Shi didn't know what Fugui was thinking. He looked around and whispered, "Fugui, where are your parents?"

Fugui's parents were not at home and he was alone.

Fugui said with a trembling voice: "Cooking outside..."

"Cooking?"

Chen Shi frowned slightly, pushed open the door and walked out.

Fugui was relieved when he saw him leave.

He didn't know Chen Shi before, so he dared to make friends with Chen Shi. After Chen Shi saved him and became his benefactor, he felt a little embarrassed.

But later, when he heard that Chen Shi was the famous "dead child", all he felt was fear.

"A child who has come back from the dead is no longer a human being. Who knows whether it is the real person or a ghost who occupies the child's body?"

His mother said to him, "Even if it was his own soul, it would first become a ghost and then a human!"

Chen Shi walked out of Fugui's house and walked along the street. Gradually, he heard wailing sounds coming from the houses on both sides of the road.

The person who was wailing wanted to scream out in pain, but seemed too afraid to make a sound, so he could only groan in a low voice.

He looked around but still didn't see a single villager.

Only a Jinyiwei could be seen every few steps, standing on both sides of the road.

Seeing that he was just a child and came from a wealthy family, the Jinyiwei did not ask any questions.

The wailing became quieter, but still came from the houses on both sides.

He came to the center of Huangyang Village, which was an open space. In addition to the ruins of the temple, there were also several big trees, which provided a wide shade.

There were more than a dozen villagers from Huangyang Village, who had set up four stoves in the open air, with iron pots on them, boiling water, and steamers, which were emitting white steam.

An old man was scooping up boiling water to scald chickens and ducks to remove the feathers. Three villagers were cooking. Several women were squatting by the well, washing vegetables, fruits, meat and eggs. There were people cutting vegetables and arranging them on plates in front of the table.

Several Jinyiwei stood around and watched them cook.

Although it was a lively scene, all the villagers of Huangyang Village had injuries on their bodies and faces, showing signs of being whipped.

It was almost noon, the time for cooking. Judging from the scale of Huangyang Village, it must be a banquet, and every household had spent all their savings.

Chen Shi was looking around when a Jinyiwei saw that he had a clean face and waved his hand and shouted, "Boy, come here! Serve the food!"

Chen Shi walked forward.

"I'll cook the food later and send it to the temple."

The Jinyiwei held a cowhide whip and said, "The people in the temple are the nobles of the provincial capital. You should be more discerning. When you are in the temple, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand!" Chen Shi nodded repeatedly.

The villagers of Huangyang Village around here heard his voice and looked over, stunned.

The Jinyiwei waved his whip and sneered, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and do your work! You, go over and cook! Be quick!"

The person he was pointing at was Fugui Dad.

Fugui's father came over hurriedly, looked at Chen Shi, and didn't dare to say anything. He lowered his head and cooked.

He was the village chef, and he was invited to all weddings and funerals in the surrounding area. Although his dishes were not as exquisite as those made by the chefs in the city restaurants, they were just as delicious.

In just a quarter of an hour, he cooked four dishes.

Chen Shi walked towards the temple with a white towel draped over his wrist and a tray in his hand.

Fugui's father opened his mouth but said nothing.

Chen Shi arrived at the temple gate and caught a glimpse of a man lying in the ruins of the palace. There was a big hole in his head, blood plasma mixed with brain matter was flowing all over the ground, and he was lying on the ground with his face down.

Chen Shi saw that half face clearly.

It is Sanwang.

The blood in his chest suddenly rushed up and rushed into his head. His mind went blank and he could hear the sound of blood flowing in his ears, like the roar of the wind!
In a trance, he recalled the strange dream he had last night.

In his dream, Sanwang warned him and told him to run away quickly!
original……

Sanwang is really dead.

He stood quietly for a moment, calming himself down.

Chen Shi lowered his head, stepped over the high threshold and walked into the temple.

The layout of the ancient temple was no longer the same as the last time he saw it. Last time, everything in the temple was simple, with only a futon, an altar, an incense burner, a shrine, and a bronze statue. Now, the futon, the altar, the incense burner, and the shrine have all been moved out.

There were a Luohan bed and four armchairs in the temple. A young Confucian scholar was sitting on the Luohan bed, and a woman was sitting opposite him. There was a chessboard in the middle, and the two of them were playing chess sideways.

There were also people sitting on the other four armchairs. They were all dressed as scholars and looked very young. Some were drinking tea, some were eating candied fruits, and they looked very leisurely.

They should be the children of Zhao family, living a life of luxury and without any murderous aura.

There were several Jinyiwei standing beside them. One of them was very strong, about two heads taller than an ordinary man, as sturdy as a standing brown bear, with a yellowish face and a fierce look. He carried a three-barreled musket on his back, the tip of which was stained with blood, which had already dried.

In the center of the temple, there is an octagonal table with four equal sides and six chairs under the table.

The temple is not big, and with these things, plus the twelve people, a table, six chairs and a bronze statue in the shrine, it seems a bit crowded.

Chen Shi glanced at these Zhao family members. They did not have any beast-like aura, but the six Jinyiwei behind them put a lot of pressure on Chen Shi.

Behind the heads of these Jinyiwei there is a shrine floating with a divine fetus sitting on it.

They have been maintaining the shrine and the divine fetus, and they are extremely vigilant. They are definitely not comparable to the drunkards under Li Xiaoding! They are masters of actual combat!
Chen Shi faced off against the three Jinyiwei of the Zhao family on the post road. He eliminated one by surprise, another by taking advantage of the geographical location, and the last by ambushing in the water. If they had fought head-on, Chen Shi would not have been able to withstand even one of their magic spells!
But here, there are six Jinyiwei with the same strength!

One of them is the strongest among the strong!
From left to right, Chen Shi divided these Jinyiwei into left one, left two, left three, right one, right two, right three.

But the one who really made him feel dangerous was the third person on the right, the brown bear-like Jinyiwei. Not only was he burly and strong, but more importantly, he was extremely murderous and brave. He must have killed many people and was a master who had experienced life-and-death battles!
All eyes were focused on Chen Shi.

They had never seen Chen Shi before, but as soon as Chen Shi stepped into the temple, their eyes fell on him and did not move away.

As guards, they are too experienced.

If Chen Shi showed even the slightest flaw, or showed any strange expression, he would be killed immediately by their Ziwu Zhanxie Sword!
"He will kill you!"

The fat man was hiding in the corner. When he saw Chen Shi, he became excited and shouted, "He is Chen Shi, the murderer. He will kill all of you!"

But no one heard his words except Chen Shi.

Chen Shi walked steadily and calmly to the Eight Immortals Table.

The man sitting on the Arhat bed was the third son of the Zhao family, Zhao Yue. The woman playing chess opposite him was his younger sister, Zhao Xue'e. She was pretty, with the dignified beauty of a lady from a noble family.

Zhao Yue straightened his back, sniffed the food, and praised, "Countryside chef, the food tastes good. Everyone, let's take our seats."

Chen Shi put down the food, took out the towel draped over his elbow, and wiped the table.

Zhao Yan stepped forward and was about to pull out the chair when Chen Shi hurriedly bent down and wiped the chair clean with a towel.

Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Third brother, this child is very smart! It's hard to find such a smart child in the countryside!"

Chen Shi wiped the other five chairs one by one, and then invited the other five Zhao family members to sit down.

During the wiping process, he only felt that the bear-like Jinyiwei's eyes were always on him, and his hand was always grasping the handle of the three-barreled musket.

This person brought him too much pressure. He wiped the table and the chair, actually he was looking for the opportunity to take action. However, this Jinyiwei made him know that if he took action, he would be smashed on the head by this person the next moment!

Chen Shi said nothing, wiped the sixth chair clean, put the towel on his elbow, and turned to leave.

He didn't find any chance to escape.

If there is no opportunity, then wait a little longer. There will always be an opportunity.

"Wait a minute!"

The bear-like Jinyiwei spoke with a deep voice that made people's eardrums buzz.

Chen Shi stopped walking, various thoughts racing through his mind, wondering where he had revealed his flaws. The Jinyiwei said, "Try a bite of these dishes first."

Chen Shi turned around and picked up a pair of chopsticks.

Zhao Xue'e smiled and said, "Helian Zheng, you are too cautious."

The Jinyiwei Helian Zheng said, "It's no fault to be careful. After all, a man was beaten to death yesterday, and the whole village was punished. It's possible that these unruly people have evil intentions and poisoned the food. Little guy, eat a bite of each dish first. Don't leave after eating."

Chen Shi said yes and stretched out his arm to pick up the first dish.

The dishes cooked by Fugui's father were all ordinary country meals. The first dish was celery and black fungus. The celery was crispy and had a unique fragrance, while the black fungus was tender and very refreshing.

Chen Shi took a bite and picked up the second dish.

This dish is spicy chicken, which is made with a young rooster that has just crowed. The chicken is cut into small pieces, marinated with onion, ginger and salt, then soaked in egg liquid, rolled in a pan, then stir-fried, and finally added with green and red peppers. It tastes smooth, spicy and refreshing.

The third dish is fried blood duck. The duck meat is soaked in the duck’s own blood, stir-fried in a pan, and added with various spices to lock in the flavor to the maximum extent.

Chen Shi tasted three dishes and stretched out his arm to take the fourth dish, but his arm was too short to reach it, so he went around to the other side of the table.

He bent down and picked up the fourth dish, which was stir-fried frogs.

Frogs are toads. Chop off the toad's head, peel the skin, wash it with clean water, then stir-fry it with salt and oil. Sprinkle with chili powder before serving and it will be spicy and delicious.

Chen Shi had just picked up a frog leg and put it into his mouth when he was suddenly stunned.

Now he was across the table, one table away from the brown bear-like burly Helian Zheng. When he ate the fourth dish, everyone around the table relaxed, talking and laughing, only Helian Zheng had not relaxed yet, still staring at him.

Now is a good time to take action!
Chen Shi hesitated. Although this timing was good, it was not the best timing.

He was eating a frog leg, chopsticks in hand, and was about to step back.

He still has a second chance to deliver the food.

Zhao Xue'e sat next to Chen Shi and said to Zhao Yue, the third son of the Zhao family, who was on the right: "Third brother, how long have Fu Shanke and the others been out? They haven't come back yet."

Zhao Yue was also a little confused and said, "Logically speaking, they should have captured Chen Shi... Wait a minute!"

When he saw Chen Shi's exposed skin, he was startled and a thought flashed through his mind: "Why is there no injury on his body?"

Everyone in Huangyang Village was whipped, some to death, but the boy who delivered the vegetables did not have any whip marks on his body!

Zhao Yue is worthy of being the third son of the Zhao family and the leader of this trip. He immediately figured out the key, looked a little nervous, and winked at Helian Zheng opposite him.

Helian Zheng understood, and without saying a word, he immediately took a step forward, intending to walk around the Eight Immortals Table, while reaching for the three-barreled musket behind him.

Zhao Yue also remained calm and said with a smile: "Since there is no problem with the food..."

"laugh!"

Zhao Yue widened his eyes in disbelief, he saw a chopstick inserted into his right temple, the chopstick head emerged from his left temple, still stained with blood!
Chen Shi almost slammed the whole chopstick into Zhao Yue's head with his right hand. Zhao Yue was stunned: "Why did he do that now?"

Chen Shi raised his left hand, and the other chopstick pierced into Zhao Xue'e's chest like lightning, piercing the woman's heart.

Zhao Xue'e hadn't come to her senses yet and was turning her head to look over here. Because the penetration was too fast, she didn't feel the pain.

"Where did I give myself away?" Chen Shi was still wondering.
