Chapter 48: Repay a favor?

When Chu Qing returned to his small yard, the killer's body was still lying there, looking a little miserable.

Chu Qing took a silent look and went into the house.

Wenrou was still meditating on the kang. She opened her eyes when she heard footsteps. Her voice was a little weak:

"You're back."

"Ah."

Chu Qing took out the bottle of antidote from his arms and threw it to Wen Rou:

"Antidote."

He opened the bottle gently, took out a pill and poured it into his mouth, then mobilized his internal energy to practice.

Watching the black energy on the back of her hand gradually fade away, Chu Qing turned around and went out, took a shovel and started digging a hole in the yard.

After a while, a big pit was dug out.

Chu Qing checked the assassin's body again, but unfortunately he had nothing and gained nothing, so he threw the body into the pit and buried it.

Only after he had tamped down the soil did Chu Qing let out a sigh of relief:
"It seems that the business of burying corpses is not easy..."

There is a group of people in the underworld who do not seek fame or fortune, and do not care about the future. They specialize in burying the bodies of those who died in underworld fights and whose bodies are not claimed.

He was called the Buried Man...

Chu Qing had seen this group of people once before in his memory. They were taciturn, some of them carried coffins, and some just had a roll of straw mats around their waists.

Perhaps it’s because he has been dealing with corpses for many years, so he has a gloomy temperament.

Shaking his head, putting down the shovel, Chu Qing went into the house, ready to check on Wenrou's situation.

As soon as I came to Wenrou, I saw her suddenly spit out a mouthful of black blood. After looking at Chu Qing, she rolled her eyes and lay directly on the kang.

Chu Qing was shocked, thinking there was something wrong with the antidote.

He took her wrist and checked it, then heaved a sigh of relief.

The strange phenomena in the body have been eliminated, but the thief has left the house...

"So, this is sleeping?
"Hey, do you really think I'm a good person? You sleep here, where should I sleep?"

Looking at Wenrou curled up on the kang with a hint of pain on her face, Chu Qing was speechless for a long while after pushing her twice without any response.

I knew that she was not simply asleep, but had fainted.

But when I woke up, the injury was almost healed.

Sighing, he grabbed the quilt and threw it on Wenrou.

He walked out of the room, moved two chairs over, sat cross-legged and continued practicing.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Chu Qing's ears moved and he heard some noise in the bedroom.

Knowing that Wenrou had woken up, he stood up and stretched his muscles.

After sitting for a whole night, my bones became a little stiff and made crackling sounds when stretched.

When I walked in, I saw Wenrou sitting against the wall with a quilt in her arms. She looked up and saw Chu Qing, her eyes still a little confused:
"who are you?

"You smell a bit like the eldest brother of the Chu family, but not quite the same."

"Is your nose really that sensitive?"

Chu Qing looked at Wenrou in surprise.

Nodded gently:

“It works.”

"If you meet someone you have met again, no matter what disguise he or she has, will you be able to recognize him or her at a glance?"

"As long as his smell doesn't change, I can recognize it."

Chu Qing thought for a moment, then said:

"Wait a moment."

He went to the kitchen, cooked two bowls of porridge, sprinkled some pickles in the bowls, and brought one bowl to her.

She licked her lips gently, glanced at Chu Qing again, and then started sipping from the bowl.

"After you finish eating, you leave here."

Chu Qing was eating too.

Wenrou didn't argue, just said "hmm" softly.

After a while, he looked up at Chu Qing:
"But... you saved my life."

"so what?"

Chu Qing looked up and drove her away.

"Master said that if someone saves my life, I should repay him with my own life."

Wenrou used a calm look to say something that could make people's ears warm and their hearts beat. Fortunately, Chu Qing was not a novice, and he just smiled when he heard it:
"Are you sure you're not confusing 'repaying a favor' with 'revenge'?"

"?"

When Wenrou looked at Chu Qing again, the confusion in her eyes deepened.

"Don't think too much."

Chu Qing said softly:

"We met by chance, and I saved your life by chance, without expecting anything in return."

I felt a little speechless in my heart. Could it be that I have been having an affair recently?

First it was Xia Wanshuang, and now it’s Wenrou... What’s going on?

Women are like quagmire, especially in the situation I am in now, I must not get stuck in it.

After thinking for a while, Wenrou didn't say anything, but quickly finished the bowl of porridge.

In this way, the complexion on the face becomes much better.

She threw back the quilt and got down to the ground:

"I'm leaving."

"Ah."

Chu Qing nodded, but when Wenrou was about to leave the room, he called her again:

"and many more."

"You want me to marry you?"

Wenrou turned around and asked him.

"...Can you please forget about the promise you made to me?"

How worried is Cui Bunu that Wenrou won’t be able to get married?
What kind of nonsense did I teach her every day?

Why does it feel like I'm being blackmailed if I save her?
Chu Qing said softly:

"If you want to repay me, just promise me one thing."

"it is good."

He nodded gently and seriously.

"Don't bother me again. You, or anyone you know, are not allowed to come here."

Chu Qing spoke in a deep voice.

This woman's physique is actually a bit troublesome.

I always feel that even if she moves, it doesn't make any sense to her. As long as she wants, she can find it by following the "smell".

Instead of hiding like this, it’s better to talk to her openly.

Wenrou thought for a moment:
"it is good."

Chu Qing waved his hand after hearing that, and Wenrou left.

Just watching her disappearing back, Chu Qing couldn't help but frown again...

The killer's identity made him suspicious.

The girl agreed so readily, could she be pretending to be obedient?
Unfortunately, he still didn't have any good way to deal with this girl.

The relationship between them is a mess. They can't beat or kill each other. It's really troublesome.

Fortunately, Wenrou really didn't come to see him in the next two days. She must have taken Chu Qing's words to heart.

Chu Qing did his own things every day as planned, getting up early to practice martial arts, practicing qigong at night, and going to the oil and grain store to find Zhou Yi in the middle of the night. Sometimes he went to dissolve the evil spirit for him, and sometimes he went to check whether Wu Qianhuan had left a letter.

He was not in a hurry about Cheng Sihai's affairs. As long as the other party was in Tianwu City, Chu Tian would be able to find him.

Sure enough, in the evening of the next day, Chu Qing received news from Chu Tian.

The content is very long, so Chu Qing gave a brief summary.

Cheng Sihai is now hiding in the Liu family in Tianwu City.

The Liu family is not a family of the underworld. The head of the Liu family, Liu Dafu, has a similar family background to Xia Wanshuang and is a wealthy businessman in Tianwu City.

Cheng Sihai used the alias Ji Changchun and worked as a legal advisor in the Liu family.

And the four Dharma protectors also became the Liu family's martial arts masters.

So far, it is unclear whether the head of the Liu family knows the situation of these people.

Of course, the following contents are not important to Chu Qing.

All he needs to know is where Cheng Sihai is.
