I Have Unparalleled Comprehension

Chapter 26 Emotion is a knife

Xu Bai stopped and looked around.

People were coming and going on the street, all busy with their own things, and no one noticed the situation here.

After making sure that no one was there, he picked up the envelope on the ground and went back into the house.

"Someone handed me a love letter early in the morning?" Xu Bai whispered and opened the envelope.

Inside the envelope was a clean white paper, which was covered with dog-crawling words.

As the saying goes, the handwriting reflects the person.

The first time Xu Bai saw the words, he felt uncomfortable all over.

It was ugly, very ugly.

It was like a patchwork of things. If it weren't for the strokes on it, you couldn't recognize the content.

Is this postmodern style popular these days?

Even if you don't want people to recognize the handwriting, you shouldn't write it so dog-crawling.

It even affects your appetite.

Early in the morning, Xu Bai's good mood for the day was gone.

Fortunately, he had strong self-control and endured the discomfort and read the letter from beginning to end.

The first sentence at the beginning gave me an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

"Sir, you don't want others to know about your affairs, do you?"

Wait!

Xu Bai looked up suddenly.

If he wasn't in the Great Chu Kingdom, he would have thought that someone had traveled through time like him.

Forget it, keep reading.

"More than a dozen lives, your swordsmanship is indeed superb. In fact, someone has been watching you, but fortunately, I hid it for you."

Hidden it?

Xu Bai touched his chin, it seems that this person's purpose is not simple.

"Let's talk at the blacksmith shop at midnight tonight."

The content of the letter ended here.

Xu Bai put the letter on the table and sighed.

Inexplicably, why did he threaten this set.

This is like a robber kidnapping a hostage, asking for a ransom, and then he must kill the hostage.

Only a fool would believe it.

"I should have no flaws, except for using a knife." Xu Bai thought about it and tapped the table lightly with his hand: "Oh, there is also a wound."

At this time, Xu Bai carefully stroked it and finally found something unusual.

There is no absolutely perfect crime scene in this world, and he finally thought of a loophole.

The wound of the hidden weapon.

"Sure enough, I am still inexperienced. I will burn it with fire next time." Xu Bai said secretly.

He learned a lesson from his mistakes. He thought that he would burn it directly with fire next time if he had the chance.

"This blacksmith shop is greedy." Xu Bai read the letter again and burned it with fire.

At that time, he gave them silver and asked them not to tell anyone, but now they are threatening him.

The sunshine outside the window was very warm. Xu Bai held the ghost head knife, and his heart was cold.

After all, he came from a peaceful era. For ordinary people, Xu Bai was soft-hearted once.

"After this time, I can't be soft-hearted."

His voice rang in the dark room, and his mentality was changing.

...

At night.

With the sound of the gong, Xu Bai opened the door of the room and walked into the dark street.

He was still wearing ordinary clothes, with a ghost head knife on his waist, walking on the street, looking at the deserted street, bypassing the winding road, and finally stopped in front of a store.

At this moment, the lights in the shop have been turned off.

Xu Bai raised his foot and kicked the door open.

The shop was dark.

As the door was kicked open, the oil lamp inside was lit.

The light was dim, and the light and shadow were mottled.

"I knew that you would come." The proprietress and the blacksmith sat on the chairs, waiting leisurely.

Xu Bai walked into the house and sneered: "Since you know I can guess it, why bother to take off your pants and fart, and do that."

"It's just asking for money." The proprietress laughed.

Although she was laughing, there was sarcasm in her eyes.

He has already invited you into the trap, but the man in front of him is still very calm.

Pretending?

Maybe.

But in any case, money is necessary.

"I won't say anything extra. We just need money. In addition, don't think about doing it. We still have someone here. As long as we get into trouble, he will report to the police as soon as possible." The proprietress spread her hands and said.

Threatening, plus talking about her own backhand, the two together, the proprietress believed that the other party would not remain indifferent.

After all, in this day and age, although Shengxian is trying to smooth things over, the meat that is delivered to your mouth still needs to be eaten.

Xu Bai threw down a silver ingot.

The silver fell to the ground and rolled several times.

The room fell into silence.

The veins on the boss's forehead popped out: "A silver ingot, are you sending away beggars? When you were making iron beads, you were very generous and didn't even blink."

"Who would carry a lot of money with them?" Xu Bai held the handle of the ghost-head knife and said, "Would you?"

"What do you mean?" The blacksmith next to him spoke in a muffled voice.

"I have a hundred silver ingots, but I buried them in a very secret place. If you don't give me time, how can I get them?" Xu Bai raised a finger.

As soon as this was said, the boss's wife and the blacksmith looked at each other.

"Well, we'll give you another day."

Soon, the boss's wife spoke.

At this point, she thought Xu Bai couldn't play any tricks.

First, when Xu Bai came in, she made it clear that there was another person cooperating with them. If Xu Bai took action, the matter would be exposed.

This step alone could stop Xu Bai from wanting to kill and silence him.

Second, the two of them were not vegetarians.

If it weren't for the government's wanted order, they would even want to kill and rob.

Of course, they won't do this now, because Xu Bai still has money hidden.

"That's good. I will bring the silver over in one day." Xu Bai nodded, turned around and prepared to leave.

Throughout the whole process, he didn't say a harsh word or even refute.

Things went smoothly and unexpectedly.

"By the way, are you two from Jianghu?" Xu Bai suddenly turned his head and asked.

The sudden question made the landlady stunned, and she nodded subconsciously.

"That's good. People in Jianghu should also be moral. I will use money to eliminate disasters in this matter." Xu Bai said the last sentence, turned around and left.

The night was getting darker, and Xu Bai's figure disappeared into the night.

After Xu Bai left, the blacksmith shop fell into silence again.

The landlady didn't speak, as if she was thinking about something.

At this time, the blacksmith spoke first.

"I felt very uneasy. The last look he gave me before he left made me feel like my hair was standing on end."

Thinking of that dull look in his eyes, the blacksmith felt terrified.

"But he didn't show any resentment, or even anger." The landlady frowned.

"I remember a saying, emotions are like swords, they hurt others and themselves. Those who can hide their emotions are the ones who wield the sword." The blacksmith stood up and waved his hands vigorously: "No matter what, after getting the money, you must kill As long as you do it cleanly, you won't attract people from the Yamen."

"Before that, follow closely." the landlady added.

The two reached an agreement and nodded in unison.

"Even if he is an eighth-level warrior, with you here, you can restrain him, especially his hidden weapons." The proprietress leaned on the blacksmith with a big smile.

At this time, Xu Bai had returned home.
