Chapter 383 This Time I Sold Myself to Bury My Mother

It's okay to wear a nightgown when killing someone at night, but it's not appropriate to do it during the day.

Old Qin, the doorman, was trembling.

"You can let me go if you want," Tan Wenjie said, "Continue to tip off your master. I didn't kill you easily last time."

It's quite strange that he didn't run away.

"I don't dare, I really don't dare," Lao Qin said tremblingly, "The hero of the Tiandihui asked me to bring you a message."

It turned out that it was people from the Tiandihui who had been here, so the people who cleaned up the battlefield were either the imperial court or the Tiandihui.

Tiandihui members can be found everywhere, they are truly omnipresent.

"explain."

"This place has been cleared out by the Tiandihui. Please feel free to stay here. The Tiandihui will also make some noise in other places, and will definitely not disturb your peace."

"That's so embarrassing."

Chen Jinnan was so nice that he felt embarrassed and could only find opportunities to show his appreciation.

Look at how cool Chen Jinnan is every time he appears. He dares to carry the speakers around without Qiao Feng's life. He will definitely fail. We can save him at that time.

Creating a commotion means that the Tiandihui is using the name of "Tan Wenjie" to stir up hatred outside.

Who knows, after a year, he might really become the best master in the world.

They are all empty names, he doesn't really care that much.

"What about you?"

Lao Qin immediately took off his shoes, exposing the soles of his feet.

Is there something wrong with the brains of the people in this world? Why do they all like to study the soles of their feet?

Looking at the words under the other person's feet, his face twitched.

"Qingming? Your other foot might be Chongyang, right?"

Lao Qin immediately took off his other shoe, which had the word "repeated" tattooed on it. The skin was red and swollen, and it seemed that he had just been forcibly recruited.

"I was really forced to do that yesterday. I definitely didn't intend to hurt you."

"Can you contact the Tiandihui?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lao Qin nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

Since they were left behind by the Tiandihui, they were obviously used for communication. With Chen Jinnan's charisma, it was possible that he could make Lao Qin bow down to him. It would be difficult for him to directly destroy them humanely.

"Then you can stay and continue to work as a concierge. I just happen to have some work for you."

"I will not give up even if I die!"

"Clean up the house and buy me some maids and servants." Tan Wenjie thought for a moment and emphasized, "They must be good-looking."

"Yes."

……

Inn, guest rooms.

"Wouldn't that be too conspicuous?"

Tan Wenjie looked at the gold bracelet in his hand, and the gold and jade ring next to it, as well as a large box of valuables, all of which were obtained by Lao Qin through the channels of the Tiandihui.

They were all exchanged for the gold and silver found in the corpse search last night, and were used to practice the "Five Ghosts Bringing Wealth" spell.

Control the five ghosts and steal money and treasures.

Currently it can only be used to steal money. The more valuable the stolen money is, the more experience points you gain. However, it is too useless to be able to only transport wealth.

For example, the money in Tan Wenjie's house is guarded by the God of Wealth, there are door gods on the door, and stone lions in the storehouse.

Not to mention the ordinary five ghosts, even ghosts of Chu Renmei's level might not dare to stroll over there.

Therefore, the biggest function of the Five Ghosts Bringing Wealth is to steal some money from people.

At least it's a spell, it would be a waste not to learn it.

Tan Wenjie pulled five ghost soldiers from Huangshan Village.

Look at them standing in a row, drooling from the corners of their mouths, their left eye looking to the right, their right eye looking to the right, and the eyes of the five ghost soldiers being connected in series.

This raises another question as to whether they can bring wealth.

He used the magic of Five Ghosts Bringing Wealth, and the five ghost soldiers shrank in size and ran straight to the box of treasure, then appeared in front of Tan Wenjie in a flash.

"Boom!"

The heavy treasure box fell into Tan Wenjie's arms.

It collided with his chest with a dull sound.

"Depend on!"

He wanted to scold the five ghosts, but was met with their dull looks as if their brains had just been eaten. Forget it, don't bully fools.

"It's not spatial teleportation. It's just a calculation trick in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of people with real skills, it's not as good as turning cloth shoes into carp."

Ordinary people would only see the treasure disappear, but Tan Wenjie's Yin-Yang eyes could see through the five ghosts' tricks. They covered the treasure chest with their bodies and then flew towards him holding the chest.

What kind of stealing? It's clearly robbery!

"Come back." Tan Wenjie grabbed a gold bracelet.

Five streams of Yin energy entered the bracelet and he wore it on his wrist.

He turned his hand and said, "Five ghosts bring wealth!"

The bracelet spins around the wrist.

A box of treasure in the distance flew up, and with the concerted efforts of the five ghosts with ten eyes looking in ten directions, it hit his chest with a "bang".

This time he reached out in advance and caught the box.

Gaining experience is secondary. He did see the core of the Five Ghosts Bringing Wealth, which is essentially exorcising ghosts. Whether this spell is used well does not depend on Tan Wenjie, but on the five ghosts.

If they were five clever kids, they might have some sophisticated ways to steal the treasure, but the five guys in front of them have pointy heads and low IQs. They don’t even know how to avoid pits when they encounter them while walking.

Hang over.

Tan Wenjie took a gold ingot and placed it on the table.

"Five ghosts bring wealth."

The five ghosts lifted the table and smashed it towards him.

"Depend on--!"

After less than half an hour of practice, Tan Wenjie had completely mastered the Five Ghosts Bringing Fortune. All the ghosts he won in the lottery obeyed his orders and he had no need to use this spell at all.

Therefore, in the end, the only people suitable for using the Five Ghosts to Bring Wealth are the residents in the ghost area of ​​Huangshan Village. They are simple-minded and a little reckless, but very obedient.

If it were any other ghost, it might not be able to follow orders.

But he felt that the Five Ghosts Bringing Wealth could be changed a bit. In order to cooperate with this group of fools, it would be better to let the Five Ghosts rob money.

Five Ghosts Bring Wealth Lv2: Drive the five ghosts to bring wealth.

[You are naturally intelligent. Through "Five Ghosts Bring Wealth", you suddenly realize a new talent: exorcism]

Ghost Exorcist Level 1: Naturally good at exorcising ghosts, less susceptible to ghost influence

"There is also a 42-chapter sutra in The Deer and the Cauldron, which records the location of the Qing Dynasty's dragon veins and treasures, as well as the treasure that Chen Jinnan mentioned."

If you learn such a cool skill but don’t make a fortune, then it would be a waste of your time.

"return."

Tan Wenjie raised his hand, and the gold bracelet spun around, and the five ghosts obediently went in.

Just then, Lao Qin came to tell him that the house had been cleaned and he could move in with his luggage.

He has made a lot of money from begging recently. His bag and boxes are full, and it feels heavy on his body. Only he can walk lightly.

Lao Qin got into the role quickly, serving as both the doorman and butler, but the Tiandihui must have put in a lot of effort to get them settled in so quickly.

However, due to the fear of upsetting Tan Wenjie, the Tiandihui did not dare to arrange any personnel to serve him, for fear of being mistakenly considered as surveillance.

When he saw Tan Wenjie, Lao Qin nodded and bowed.

We arranged for someone to come and carry the luggage.

Tan Wenjie is now a very famous figure in the underworld. People like Chen Jinnan and Hong Xiguan did not dare to confront the army head-on, but Tan Wenjie was different. He killed several of them.

The rumors about him riding an old lady across the street and stealing the jewelry box of a rich man's concubine are all false, but his killing of Qing soldiers was definitely not fake, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people pinning the unsolved cases on him, which means they are sure that they will not be exposed.

Lao Qin had seen it with his own eyes, so he was very respectful.

"Master, look over there." Lao Qin pointed, "How about buying her back to be a maid?"

Tan Wenjie looked in the direction of Lao Qin's finger, and saw a group of people gathered on the side of the road. There was a dead body with a straw mat covering its face, and next to it was a pretty girl who was pretending to wipe her tears, but her eyes had drifted over several times.

"Selling yourself to bury your mother?"

It's too old-fashioned.

The "female corpse" lying on the ground whispered, "Have you seen this?"

The woman bent down to wipe her tears and whispered, "Look here, you must be bewildered by me."

It was dark yesterday, so it was understandable that the other party didn't see her face clearly, but today she was fully prepared.

I don't believe he isn't confused!
The mother and daughter thieves wanted to escape yesterday when they met the man in White Night Clothes pretending to be Chen Jinnan, but later they found out that everyone had been killed and there was no need to run away, so they continued to do their old business today. In their eyes, Tan Wenjie, who looked rich, was a fat sheep.

"You still have to use the method I told you to use?" The old lady lying on the ground pretending to be a corpse complained, "We are a mother-daughter team. Selling our bodies to bury our mother is the best way. Men can't walk when they see us. Seeing your tearful look, I'll give you as much money as you want."

"Stop talking, he's coming!"

The woman rubbed her eyes hard, her eye sockets turned red.

"Aren't you going to buy it?" asked Tan Wenjie.

"The price is too high." Someone nearby shook his head.

This place is remote and everyone is not well off, so no one would spend hundreds of taels to buy a wife.

"Haven't you heard about the mother and daughter thieves who appeared in the underworld? It seems that they pretended to sell themselves to bury their mother and sneak into people's homes to steal." A passerby said.

It was heard that the "corpse" covered with a straw mat almost came back to life on the spot.

"Wow, woo, woo. I am Hongdou." The woman rubbed her eyes, but unfortunately no tears came out.

She didn't dare let Tan Wenjie think that he was a liar.

"Your mother doesn't seem to be dead yet." Tan Wenjie pointed, "I saw her talking to you just now."

"Woo woo, if you don't want to buy me, why do you have to say such things?"

She quietly nudged her mother with her toes, pretending to be a dead body but still talking a lot.

She thought the man in front of her was indeed stupid. Everyone was attracted by her beauty, but he was the only one who was bored and stared at the corpse. Was it really because she was not attractive enough? She blinked and raised her head slightly, making a pitiful expression.

There were already a few passers-by nearby shouting that they wanted to go home and sell their belongings to raise money.

Hongdou curled her lips in disdain.

Do you really think she just wants the money to sell herself to bury her father? What she wants is to find a rich man.

"Girl, it's not good to leave your mother's body like this. It will stink."

Who are you scolding?

I must have seen it wrong just now. This guy was just pretending to be honest. He is so handsome and must be very good at deceiving women. Don't ask why. Someone as beautiful as her knows how to deceive men.

He added: "I won't buy you with money, everyone is free, but I can pay for your mother's burial."

What a fool indeed!

There are still such stupid and foolish good people in the world.

It seems that I was thinking wrongly.

Hongdou glanced at Tan Wenjie's wrist. The gold bracelet as thick as her finger made her eyes widen and her breathing became heavier.

"Sir, I cannot repay your kindness, I am willing to pledge my love to you~"

Tan Wenjie shook his head: "No!"

"Sir, I have nothing but my looks, please don't despise me."

"How do you know I just dislike it?"

red beans:"……"

"Am I not good-looking?" She raised her fingers and stroked her cheek.

"I'm rich, handsome, have extraordinary martial arts skills, and have no relatives in this world. I'm very popular in the blind date market, but you're different. Your mother just passed away and you have to observe mourning. You can't get married in the short term. You can't delay me, Miss Hongdou."

Hongdou opened her mouth slightly.

brazen!
They are all martial arts masters who can use their internal energy to communicate and transmit voices. They dare to speak even when surrounded by people pretending to be corpses, all because of their martial arts skills.

But looking at Tan Wenjie, he has no internal strength at all. Although his body looks very strong, there are no calluses on his hands. At most, he has practiced some external kung fu, but gave up halfway.

What kind of unique martial arts? Maybe others deliberately lost to him because they saw that he was rich.

Her toes were gently pushed, and Hongdou's ears moved slightly, and she heard her mother's voice.

"I, I can spend the wedding night with you tonight~"

The passers-by exclaimed "Wow" and looked at Tan Wenjie.

Everyone believed that this mother and daughter were the latest female thief duo and decided to watch the fun. Anyway, no one would admit that they didn't have the money to buy the grapes and they were just sour.

Tan Wenjie shook his head: "Don't pretend to be a woman who is blinded by money. The fact that you sold yourself to bury your mother shows that you are a filial person. I have seen through your disguise."

Hongdou looked at his confident expression and didn't know what to say for a moment.

There really are such stupid people in the world.

It's just that the way this person speaks always sounds like he's cursing.

Considering that he is rich, just pretend that you didn’t understand.

"It seems that everything I said is correct. You are speechless."

Hongdou stammered, "Y-You're amazing."

"Okay, let's bury your mother first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Hongdou stand up nimbly, carrying the corpse, with an impatient look on her face.

"Miss Hongdou, you are so strong. Your mother was so fat when she was alive, yet you can carry her easily."

The woman who was carried on his shoulders and had her face buried in Hongdou's back changed her expression.

Who are you calling fat? This is plump! The fat on the belly is sexy! The more circles, the sexier!

Hongdou's face froze. She was only concerned about going back with Tan Wenjie to make a fortune and forgot about her own character. She should be a weak woman who sold herself to bury her mother.

"I have practiced martial arts before."

"Oh? That's great, hahaha. I also know martial arts. I wonder if you have heard of Tathagata Palm and Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage to the Buddha!"

Anko's mouth twitched.

It doesn't sound credible. How could there be such martial arts in the world? Someone who can jump three or five stories high is considered a top-notch master.

"I can teach you a couple of moves if I have time."

"Then thank you for your hard work, Master." She took the opportunity to change her address to Master to confirm her identity.

I was thinking that I would steal and run away tonight. Only a fool would not learn the Tathagata Palm.

When he returned to the house, Lao Qin had already asked someone to put away his luggage, and he obediently returned to the gatehouse to wait.

"I just moved here too." Tan Wenjie said to Hongdou who was carrying the "corpse", "You can choose a room to live in."

He looked at the body: "It's just a body."

"Just put it in the woodshed." Hongdou said hurriedly.

She understood the basic process and had to bluff people with her words, but once it got to night it was time for the mother and daughter to show their skills.

"The woodshed, come with me." Tan Wenjie nodded, took Hongdou to the backyard, opened the door, and then walked out.

“This is the toilet.”

red beans:"……"

The two searched together with the "corpse", and finally found the woodshed, where they put down their mother's "corpse". Hongdou was afraid that Tan Wenjie would find out, so she pushed him out.

"Master, I'm hungry~"

They had a terrifying last night and had no appetite in the morning. So far, they haven't eaten for a whole day and a night.

"That's easy." Tan Wenjie took out a small piece of gold and threw it to Lao Qin, "Lao Qin, go directly to the restaurant and ask someone to cook."

"Yes." Lao Qin took the money and trotted away.

Hongdou stared at it with envy, because that was gold.

She became more and more certain that Tan Wenjie was rich and would not leave until she had squeezed all the money out of him.

There were only the two of them in the house, which made it seem a little lonely. Hongdou wanted to find a topic to chat about, and then she saw the pond in the yard.

"What are you going to keep in there?"

"cloth shoes."

"what?"

"There is a grape trellis at home, and we can eat grapes in a while."

"I use it for the swing."

"You are so elegant."

After chatting for a while, Hongdou tried several times to find common topics, but was always ended by him accurately.

"You are so rich, what did you do before?"

"Killing people and robbing goods." Tan Wenjie pointed at himself, "Look at my skills, it's easy to make a fortune. Let me tell you, but don't tell others, I can actually use the Five Ghosts to Bring Wealth."

Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, Hongdou let out a "wow".

Clap your hands and show your support, giving enough emotional value.

Since you are rich, just endure it and listen a little longer.

"Master, now that you have moved here, what are you going to do in the future?"

"I have so much money that I can't spend it all. Of course I do nothing but sit there and think about how to spend it all."

When she heard that there was a lot of money, Hongdou's eyes lit up and her heart started beating fast. She wished it would get dark quickly so that she could steal as much as she wanted.

Lao Qin was very efficient and directly packed up the restaurant and brought it back.

Tan Wenjie and Hongdou returned to the table and sat down.

"Don't be polite, treat this place as your own home." Tan Wenjie picked up the chopsticks.

Hongdou was just about to pick up some food.

Tan Wenjie suddenly said, "By the way, Miss Hongdou, does your mother want to be buried or cremated? It's not good to leave the body for too long."

"Uh." Hongdou froze.

She only wanted to steal and leave, and never thought that far. In the past, she always used the excuse of keeping the body for a few days, and took the opportunity to steal the money and run away. The man who bought her home wanted to enter the bridal chamber that night. The lust made him blind, and no one could remember that there was a corpse in the woodshed.

"Let's bury her and make a coffin for my mother..." Hongdou finally thought it through, but when she turned around, she found that the braised beef, beggar's chicken, and the small pot of stew were all half eaten.

"Miss Hongdou, why aren't you eating? Don't you like it?" Tan Wenjie was still gobbling up the dishes.

"I don't eat much." Hongdou picked up her chopsticks and joined the battle of picking up food.

If I chat for a few more minutes, I guess I can only drink water from the big vat in the backyard.

No matter what he says, I won't be fooled.

Just rush to grab the food and eat it!
Another dish was served.

Tan Wenjie said: "Speaking of which, your mother died and you are all alone. If you don't mind, I will prepare some money for you."

Speaking of money, Hongdou is no longer sleepy.

"How can I do that? You just moved into a new house and helped me bury my mother. I can't ask for too much..."

She is not a person who is entangled. It doesn't matter if the other party is not attracted by her beauty and can sneak in to steal money.

If someone is willing to give her money directly, she would not refuse it. It is difficult for a thief to steal all the money of a family.

broken.

She suddenly reacted and when she looked down she found that all the food on the table was gone.

Tan Wenjie put down his chopsticks gracefully: "Eight points full."

Beauty is a feast to the eyes, and he accidentally ate a little too much while eating at the same table with the beautiful woman.

It's just that I chose the wrong person just now. If I hadn't pretended to be a gentleman and had just agreed to marry her, the grape trellis would definitely not have been wasted.

Now he can only swallow coptis root in silence and eat more food.

Gurgle, Hongdou's stomach was growling restlessly.

"Miss Hongdou, aren't you full?" Tan Wenjie frowned. "I told you to treat this place as your own, how can you be embarrassed to eat? I know you are shy."

You have the nerve to say it!
