When Lin Junshu came back to his senses, he saw the long knife emitting cold light on his left side deeply inserted into the neck of the unknown man in front of him.

"Shua——"

Hu Jian, who was holding a knife in his left hand, slowly pulled out the long knife. Blood splashed on the alley, adding fresh color to the long wall.

Hu Jian's figure behind him immediately said: "It should be a guard. He is very weak. He is probably just to prevent others from entering."

"Then why did you tell me to wait just now?" Lin Junshu asked.

"Because you blocked me from drawing the knife."

"..."

The two walked out of the alley and pushed the guard's body in.

"We just kill the guards, is that okay?"

I was originally worried about being exposed, but I always felt that the flaws were getting bigger and bigger.

Hu Jian glanced at Lin Junshu and said, "It's okay, they're just random soldiers. Maybe some crazy masked men will run into the alley and kill two of them in one night. Besides, aren't we masked men too?"

"Well, that makes sense."

After disposing of the corpse, Lin Junshu had time to look at the world behind the long street.

What you see is rows of low mud houses marked with numbers, about two meters high, and each one is less than ten square meters.

There is no door on the side facing the long street, only a small window, and there is no light in the entire area as far as the eye can see. It seems that in the eyes of the ruler, living in this area

People, even if they use a little light, it is still a waste.

There are only faint beams of light shining through the narrow alleys, but they are not hope. They are just like the spear of intimidation erected against them by the brightly lit world.

A faint sound came from a nearby earthen house marked "0904". Lin Junshu glanced at Hu Jian, and the two quietly stepped forward.

Through the narrow window, Lin Junshu looked inside.

This is nothing like a room where people live. On the left is a bolted and dilapidated wooden door. There is no bed in the cramped space, and there is only a pile of weeds piled in the right corner.

There was a earthy brown pottery bowl thrown next to the haystack. The degree of damage reminded him of the one in the wooden house the night he met Zhang Jiao. There was still a thin layer of dried food in the bowl.

.

There were two people in the room. A thin figure wearing a gray gown fell on the haystack, kicking his legs back with a look of horror. He looked like a little girl about the same age as Qingqing of Ningxiang Pavilion.<

/p>

Another thin man with sparse hair and a shirtless body, who looked to be in his forties or fifties, was approaching the little girl little by little.

"No! No! Don't come over, don't come near me!" the girl begged in a low voice.

But this soft voice excited the man even more. He stretched out his right hand and suddenly grabbed the girl's naked feet.

"Ah -" the little girl couldn't help but screamed, and immediately subconsciously covered her mouth with her hands.

"Yes! Shouting! Are you screaming? Scream louder. It's best to call the guards who are on duty today. When they see you, the chick who was just sent to the mating area today, they will definitely not be able to help but keep you happy until dawn! I hope

At that time, the kind-hearted adults can still give you a breath of relief."

The little girl didn't dare to make a sound, covering her mouth and shaking her head desperately, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"Damn it!"

Lin Junshu turned around and rushed towards the door at the back.

"Wait!"

Hu Jian took Lin Junshu's hand.

"Waiting for you to be paralyzed!"

Lin Junshu threw it away suddenly, strode forward, rushed to the door, and kicked it up!

"哐——"

The wooden door fell down in response.

"Damn it, who is it? I just took off my pants! Wait until I'm done, then..."

"Fuck you, you old beast, I'll twist your head off!"

The long knife was unsheathed, and a fierce cold light was drawn. The thin head flew high, and blood spattered everywhere.

Even so, the thin little girl had already covered her mouth tightly, and all she could hear was the tiny "Woo" sound she made involuntarily.

"You are too impulsive, Jun Shu!"

Hu Jian said behind Lin Junshu.

Lin Junshu said nothing, looked at the corpse at his feet, then turned to look at Hu Jian with cold eyes.

After a long time, Hu Jian let out a long sigh.

"Jun Shu, have you ever thought about this body, the bloodstains in the room, and the guards we just killed? When the sun rises tomorrow, will this little girl still have a chance to survive?"<

/p>

"!!"

Lin Junshu's pupils contracted violently. He looked at the blood in the room and then at the panicked girl. Panic appeared on his face...

After a long time, the three people in the room finally calmed down.

The body had been carried out by Hu Jian. Not every room in the earthen house was occupied, so Hu Jian found an empty one and threw it in casually.

And there was nothing that Hu Jian could do about the bloodstains all over the house.

Lin Junshu leaned against the wall and watched Hu Jian gently comforting the little girl. The frightened girl really calmed down little by little under his comfort and began to listen to their explanations.

"I didn't expect you to be quite good at coaxing children."

That's right, in Lin Junshu's eyes, this little girl of twelve or thirteen years old is still just a child.

"I once had a sister."

Lin Junshu heard the words in his words.

"Sorry..."

Hu Jian just smiled and shook his head.

"I want to take this girl away with me. We will take her back to Ningxiang Pavilion first and hide her in our previous house. Then when we find a new place to live tomorrow, we will pick her up and start the task."<

/p>

"I know that because of me, the risk of our mission will greatly increase. So if we encounter a crisis, please put the completion of the mission first. I am responsible for my own safety. This is the responsibility I should bear. Okay.

Really, Lao Hu?"

Hu Jian looked at Lin Junshu, who had serious eyes and a guilty look on his face, and nodded lightly.

"The leader said that this mission is mainly yours. All I have to do is follow your orders."

"Huh..."

Lin Junshu breathed a long sigh of relief.

Said softly: "Thank you..."

"You stay here to take care of me... What's this girl's name?"

The little girl Hu Jian and Lin Junshu were together. The little girl lowered her head in fear, and it took a long time before she uttered a name: "Ling'er."

"Okay, Lao Hu, you take care of Ling'er here, and I'll find something that can cover her figure."

Just when Hu Jiang was about to speak, Lin Junshu quickly interrupted: "Don't worry, I have a mask, so there will be no danger. Let me do this, and I'll be right back!"

After saying that, he went out, took out the mask, put it on his face, and headed towards the alley.

Hu Jian opened his mouth, swallowed his words, and sat down along the wall with Ling'er...

After a while, Lin Junshu, wearing a blood-pupil mask and a crimson object wrapped around his hand, rushed in.

"Yeah——"

Ling'er couldn't help but exclaimed softly.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! It's me!"

Lin Junshu quickly took off his mask and threw the crimson cloak in his hand to Hu Jian.

"Have you ever done this before? Bought it at Baobao Pavilion?"

Lin Junshu shook his head: "I took it from a drunkard."

The two of them did not care to continue exploring this "real Xushui". Hu Jian put on a large cloak, covered the petite Ling'er, and gently held her in his arms.

Lin Junshu led the way, and the two walked out of the alley...

Two weirdos appeared on the long street after midnight. The first one was wearing a Han army armor, a blood-pupil mask on his head, and a long knife in his hand. The eyes behind the mask gave off a fierce aura. Even if a dog passed by, he would kill him.

Glare.

Behind him was a man who was wrapped in a bloated cloak, only revealing a black mask with a ferocious mouth, and slowly wandered behind the man in front.
