Raising Orphans, Not Assassins

Vol. 1 - Chapter 45 - Tell You About a Good Place

Hearing the childish voice in front of them, the woodcutters present all laughed.

"Boy, how old are you this year?" asked the sharp-nosed woodcutter.

Sun Sheng raised his head and asked in confusion, "12 years old, what's wrong?"

The woodcutters laughed even louder.

Zhang Long had a smile on his face and joked, "Da Ming is only 10 years old this year."

Hearing this, Sun Sheng's face suddenly turned red.

Da Ming's height and physique far exceeded his peers, and he didn't look like he was 10 years old.

He was obviously older than Da Ming, but he regarded him as his elder brother...

Sun Sheng looked at Da Ming with a simple face, gritted his teeth and said, "I can't repay you for saving my life."

"You have to be loyal when you get out there!"

"Big brother!"

After saying that, Sun Sheng stood up and imitated the people in the Jianghu to clasp his fists and bow.

The woodcutters were completely amused by Sun Sheng.

"Kid, go back to where you came from."

"We are just a group of woodcutters, not Jianghu people."

"Yes, kid, go home, your parents must be waiting anxiously."

The woodcutters advised.

Sun Sheng's eyes turned red, and he said, "My parents are dead, and I am the only one at home now."

Hearing this, the woodcutters were silent.

It turned out to be an orphan.

Zhang Long touched his rough beard, pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Boy, if you really want to worship Da Ming as your big brother, I will teach you a trick."

Zhang Long turned around and pointed at the wood that Da Ming had chopped in the morning, and said, "Tie these branches with ropes."

"After you're done, I'll tell you about a good place."

...

"Tap tap..."

A carriage was driving on the official road.

"Girl, Lin'an County is ahead. There is a teahouse on the official road. Do you want to get out of the car for some tea?"

The driver said while driving.

In the carriage, Qin Yi opened her eyes and calmed the internal force circulating in her body.

She looked at Xiao Lian and asked, "Do you want to get off?"

The two left Yuhang County and hired a carriage. They have been traveling for a whole morning. It should be time for lunch.

Seeing Xiao Lian stop, the man breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Xiao Lian with a hint of surprise.

"Qin Yi, is this the disciple you accepted?"

"This Tang Sect technique, if you hadn't told me, I would have thought it was some little genius from the Tang Sect."

Huang San sheathed the black knife again and handed the food box back to Xiao Lian with a helpless look.

Xiao Lian pursed her lips slightly, took the food box back, and looked at Huang San with a vigilant look.

Huang San noticed her eyes and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.

He felt a little guilty, as if he was snatching a child's candied haws.

Qin Yi glanced at Huang San calmly, sat on the bench, and said in a calm tone: "What are you doing here?"

Huang San did not speak. He first looked around on the ground, then ran straight to the bushes, plucked a blade of grass and held it in his mouth, and then said: "Hey, look at what you said. We are now grasshoppers on the same rope."

Hearing this, Qin Yi's delicate eyebrows frowned slightly. "Did you kill him?"

Huang San shook his head: "No one gave me money, why should I kill him?"

Xiao Lian put the food box on the wooden table with a lunch box in her hand and glanced at Huang San.

Huang San changed the subject and smiled: "But I stole a token."

He took out a golden token from his arms, on which was engraved a pattern of wind and rain.

Qin Yi's eyes were more turbulent. "What do you want?"

Huang San smiled and put away the token: "It's a pleasure to talk to you."

"I want to go to see the owner of the building with you, no... To be precise, we are going to see the owner of the building together."

Qin Yi lowered his eyes, as if he heard something, and said in a flat voice: "You are different from me."

"What's the difference?"

A strong and sturdy voice came.

Xiao Lian subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.

She saw a two-meter-tall and door-wide, strong man squeezed out of the back kitchen of the teahouse.

The strong man had a wolf head tattoo on his face and two purple gold hammers on his back. His expression was fierce enough to scare children to tears.

"Little girl, what's your name? You used the hidden weapon well just now, but the hits were too scattered. You have to aim at the acupuncture points..."

A hoarse voice came from behind Xiao Lian.

She turned around in a hurry and saw an old woman with a hunched body and gray hair behind her.

The old woman was holding a basket in her hand, and Xiao Lian vaguely heard a slight hissing sound in the basket.

The old woman appeared behind Xiao Lian at some point.

Hearing the hissing sound in the basket, Xiao Lian subconsciously took a few steps back.

"Why are you trying to scare the youngsters? Be careful, Qin Yiyi will chop your beloved ones in two."

A weak scholar in white clothes and holding a fan suddenly jumped down from the ceiling of the teahouse.

He smiled gently at Xiao Lian and said, "Miss, I am honored to meet you."
