one step closer to the end

"Oh~ it's really cheap, motherfucker..."

Zhao Guanren walked into the kitchen and took a look. After removing the lid of the pot, there were only a few cornbreads, and a plate of bacon was covered with maggots. Fortunately, he was full before, so it's not a big problem if he doesn't eat tonight.

"Bian Nini! If you meet me, you will be unlucky for eight lifetimes, hehe..."

Zhao Guanren took out a few sticks of firewood from the hearth, took a kitchen knife and rummaged inside and out, and found a stack of yellowed drawing paper, then whittled the burnt firewood into charcoal pencils, and found a piece of wood to use as an easel , sat down at the table in a hurry.

"Hmm! First, draw a picture of a beauty coming out of the bath..."

Zhao Guanren began to use his brush wretchedly, thinking that he was also the second generation of a wealthy family back then, and he had participated in various art training classes, but he could hardly do piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so he just got a glimpse of the art of painting. Dynasty started body art.

"Son! Let Yu Niang serve you tonight..."

The old woman rushed in suddenly, Zhao Guanren thought she had brought a ghost in, but when he turned his head, he was shocked.

There was a pretty little girl standing outside the door, wearing a red floral dress, with delicate features, petite figure, natural bangs, and a red rope tied at the end of her long hair.

"Yu Niang has seen the third young master!"

The little girl walked in gracefully, pinched her waist and bowed her knees very dignifiedly, and did not show any surprise in the face of the pretending Mr. Tian San.

"Uh~"

Zhao Guanren couldn't understand. This girl looked at most fourteen or fifteen years old, so he covered the body sketch and asked, "Yu Niang, right! Why don't I remember that there is a girl like you?"

"The third young master may not know that the eldest young master bought the servant's house before his death..."

Yuniang stepped forward and said with a smile: "The young master said that he wanted to find you a housekeeper, but the lady said that I was too young to serve others, so she asked me to go to Bian's mansion to learn how to do things. Later, the young master died in battle. It's been four years, Madam didn't think of my slave's house until today!"

"Bian Mansion? Is it Bian Xianglan's family..."

Zhao Guanren rolled his eyes and asked, "What are you doing in the Bian Mansion? I heard that something happened in the Bian Mansion today. Fifth Aunt, you should also know him?"

"Yes! Fifth Aunt is the Missy's steward..."

Yu Niang said in surprise: "How did the young master know that something happened? A burglar entered the mansion at noon, and dozens of nurses failed to catch it. However, the slave's house is doing sweeping in the outer courtyard. The specifics are unknown, but the fifth aunt Don't allow people to talk about it, it's terrible!"

"Yu Niang! This is two days' meal money, you can buy it..."

Zhao Guanren put all the money on the table and said: "You can buy a few more bedding, no matter new or old, as long as they are clean, buy some oil lamps and candles, and if there is any leftover, buy me some shredded tobacco and toilet paper, right! How much is your monthly salary?"

"salary?"

"The monthly bill, the bill..."

Zhao Guanren patted his head, and Yuniang said pitifully: "The servants of Bian's family, like the Nu family, have at least [-] yuan a month, but they say that I am not from the Bian family, and they only give some rewards during festivals. , usually not a penny!"

"damn it!"

Zhao Guanren slapped the table and said angrily: "These vampires don't pay for their work. I'll get you back with interest later, and I'll give you two shillings every month, pocket money!"

"Don't dare! The Bian family is rich and powerful, the young master doesn't have to worry about Yuniang..."

Yu Niang waved her hands in fear, her small appearance really made people feel distressed, let alone a fourteen or fifteen-year-old little girl in modern times, who is not a princess, let alone serving people, she can be considered capable if she can throw a piece of trash with her own hands up.

"Go! Go early and return early..."

Zhao Guanren waved his hand lightly, and Yuniang ran out energetically. He turned his head and began to fool the cheap old lady. The old woman obviously had a mental problem. Sometimes she was sober and sometimes confused, but she was clear about her son. clearly.

'Depend on!The original surname is Zhang, I almost thought the surname was Tian...'

Zhao Guanren finally understood that the old woman's name was Zhang Li, the younger son was called Zhang Tiansheng, and his nickname was Tian Sheng. The eldest brother and the second brother were originally military officers, but they died in battle one after another.

Only the youngest son ate, drank, prostituted and gambled, and lost all his family property. If the old lady hadn't kept suppressing him, he would have sold this house long ago.

"Hey~ Done!"

Zhao Guanren hid in the bedroom and finished the body sketch, but after thinking about it, he felt that one was not enough, so he lay down on the bed and drew two more, one drawing was more coquettish than the other, and the patient attached a flirting song Poetry is full of color and fragrance.

"Zhao Ziqiang! You wicked old fox..."

Zhao Guanren suddenly realized something was wrong. He used traditional Chinese characters in his flirtatious poems, and wrote them very smoothly. This was all due to the fact that he had copied the "Tao Te Ching" hundreds of times, but it could also prove that Zhao Ziqiang had long wanted to fool him. He came over and forced him to practice calligraphy.

"Third young master! The dinner is ready, please have a meal..."

Yuniang entered the room to salute in a regular manner, but the maids from this rich family are different, so Zhao Guanren threw down the charcoal pencil and got up, but just as Yuniang was about to go forward and make the bed, she suddenly exclaimed: "This... Isn't this Missy?"

"Huh? Is my painting so vivid, you can recognize it at a glance..."

Zhao Guanren looked at her in surprise, the little girl's face turned red, and she said shyly, "Young master's painters are superb, such a god-like painting, the servants will naturally recognize it, but... But how did the young master know that the eldest miss has a birthmark on her buttocks?" Woolen cloth?"

"How do you know..."

Zhao Guanren raised his eyebrows with a smirk, and the little girl blushed and said: "One time I went out of the city with the eldest lady to meet the supervisor, and the eldest lady suddenly became anxious. I accidentally saw it when I was serving, but such a secret thing, most people don't know about it. ah!"

"Your young master is not an ordinary person, she took off her pants for me to see, haha..."

Zhao Guanren pinched her little nose and swaggered out to eat. The little girl was embarrassed to clean up and followed him with her head down.

The purchasing power of this era is still very strong, and Yuniang actually cooked five dishes and one soup, but he was full of thoughts about how much money he should extort from Bian Xianglan, since it would cost a lot of money to go abroad.

"Yu Niang! Don't stand up, sit down and eat together, our family doesn't have so many rules..."

Zhao Guanren suddenly noticed Yuniang standing beside him, but just as the little girl waved her hands in fear, his old lady also frowned and said, "What is this called? How can the servants serve the table? If you say it, you can't make people laugh out loud. Although my family is not from a scholarly family, I still have to know etiquette!"

"Mom! You don't get confused when you talk about rules..."

Zhao Guanren smiled and shook his head, but after they had finished eating, Yuniang still couldn't eat, so she insisted on helping the old lady wipe her face and feet, and after the bed was made, she came to wait on Zhao Guanren, and when Zhao Guanren finished washing her feet and went to bed, Yuniang Dare to go to the kitchen to eat leftovers.

"It's really a feudal society..."

Zhao Guanren lay on the bed and looked at the top of the bed. At this time, he muttered in his heart again. This world is not parallel to his world, but it is the same when speaking and writing, and even many idioms and fairy tales are the same. Say something about Dayu's water control.

"Could it be that there were earlier traversers who came here..."

Zhao Guanren blinked his eyes and thought wildly, and habitually scanned around with his soul-chasing eyes, but he suddenly found two people squatting in the backyard, sneaking towards the latrine, and Yuniang was in the latrine for convenience.

"Damn it! You came to the door, right..."

Zhao Guanren jumped up from the bed in shock. Naturally, these two people couldn't be flower picking thieves. There are nine out of ten people who were sent by Bian Nini to kill him, and they might be two masters...

Chapter 0419 The poor young master pretty maid

Zhao Guanren didn't know what time it was, it was estimated to be seven or eight o'clock in the evening, only his bedroom was lit with a light in the broken courtyard, and he could barely see the situation in the courtyard by the moonlight. The steel knife has already touched the outside of the hut in the backyard.

'Damn it!What if you can't beat...'

Zhao Guanren was squatting at the back door and his heart was beating. He is not capable at all, he can't even beat a little girl, and the two killers sent by Bian Nini are 100% experienced veterans.

'in vain!Green!Come out and help...'

Zhao Guanren held his stomach and called out secretly. Zhao Ziqiang said that if he didn't practice, he couldn't summon the nine little friends in his body, let alone get the special ability he bestowed.

"Shu~"

Unexpectedly, there was a flash of light in front of his eyes, two blue and white beams merged instantly, and a long knife appeared in front of him out of thin air, he grasped it excitedly, kissed the knife fiercely, and said, "Little baby! You two really came out!"

"Husband!"

Bai Ming's voice came into his head from the knife, and he said anxiously: "This is our own residual power, and it can't help you much, you have to replenish our power as soon as possible, otherwise our soul fire will dissipate, and then we can't help you." You can't call us anymore!"

"Understood! I will definitely not let you leave me..."

Zhao Guanren kissed the knife again, and walked out the back door. The weeds in the backyard were as tall as half a person. One killer was watching the wind, and the other had already restrained Yuniang who had just come out of the toilet. After taking her to the toilet, he asked her something.

"Crack~"

A small stone suddenly fell on the ground. The killer who looked out for the wind was extremely sensitive, and suddenly turned around and swung his knife horizontally. As a result, a knife light suddenly pierced out of the grass, piercing his head soundlessly, making him "thud thump!" "He fell to the ground with a sound.

"what happened to you?"

Hearing the sound, the killer's companion ran out, tightly covering Yuniang's small mouth, but the knife light flashed by again, and his right hand holding the steel knife broke off at the elbow, and then he was grabbed by someone. He grabbed his hair and threw it on the grass.

"what!"

Yu Niang fell to the ground in fright, and the killer also let out a scream. Zhao Guanren immediately stepped forward and stepped on the opponent's chest, pointed a knife at him and scolded: "Don't move! Or I will stab you to death, tell me! Who sent you here?"

"No, no one! We just want to kidnap a girl for fun..."

The killer clutched his broken arm in pain, Zhao Guanren kicked him violently again, and said, "Yu Niang! Don't be afraid when you come here, what did he ask you just now?"

"Master!"

Yuniang cried and threw herself behind him, and said in horror: "He, he asked me who you are and what relationship you have with the Fifth Aunt of the Bian Mansion, and I said I don't know!"

"I'll give you another chance, or I'll drown you with shit..."

Zhao Guanren stepped on the other party's chest, and the other party mourned, "Master, please forgive me! Someone saw you coming out of the back door of the Bian Mansion during the day, and Fifth Aunt gave you a purse, so Mr. Xie sent us to check the news to see if you were with me. The thieves from the Bian Mansion are involved!"

"Xie Yuanwai? Which Xie Yuanwai..."

Zhao Guanren took Yuniang's little hand, and Yuniang said tremblingly, "It should be Xie Huaichun, the richest man in Lantai. The Bian family is their biggest competitor. The Bian family has their eyes and ears. They have been arrested before. Always tripping Miss Bian!"

"you can go now……"

Zhao Guanren let go of his feet and said, "I know what the Xie family wants to do recently. If you can provide me with some inside information, I will reward you with 500 taels of gold, how about it?"

"The bounty don't dare to ask for..."

The killer stood up bitterly, and said: "The villain only knows a little bit. The Xie family will rush to do something before the Ningzhou supervisor returns, probably to tamper with their goods. Mr. Xie said that as long as the matter is done, There will be no future for the Bian family!"

"Did you steal my purse..."

Zhao Guanren glared at him, and the other party nodded apprehensively, who would have heard a "poof", and a long knife pierced the killer's chest.

"Ah~"

Yu Niang covered her eyes in fright, while the killer knelt down on the ground, vomiting blood and said in pain, "You, you said you won't kill me!"

"I didn't say that! I just said let you go, who told you not to go..."

Zhao Guanren drew his knife and kicked him to the ground, but suddenly the lights came on in the room, and the old lady came out with her clothes on, holding a wooden box and saying, "Tian Sheng! Throw it into the dry well and melt it." Come on, don't leave the beginning and the end!"

"what?"

Zhao Guanren looked at her in bewilderment, but the old lady came over and stuffed the box into him, saying, "This is your elder brother's powder for transforming corpses. Mix three parts of medicine with seven parts of water, and burn the bloody clothes in the stove." It's your first time to kill someone, if you don't understand, just ask your second brother!"

'I go!This family is cruel...'

Zhao Guanren took the wooden box subconsciously. The old lady looked at the two corpses calmly, walked back and said, "The saber technique has improved, and I will learn from your second brother in the future. Your eldest brother is gone. After Zhang's family But it depends on you!"

"Yu Niang! Help my mother go back to sleep..."

Zhao Guanren opened the wooden box and took a look. There were indeed two large bottles of medicinal powder inside. It seemed that the old lady was so used to this kind of thing that she didn't forget it even though she was confused.

"Let you steal my money..."

Zhao Guanren squatted down and groped the corpse. Who knew he found a total of ten or so silver beans, which weighed less than a catty. But he didn't expect that he would find two lighters when he killed him. It is a kerosene lighter similar to Zippo.

"Damn! There are really other traversers..."

Zhao Guanren ignited the lighter in disbelief. The shell of the lighter was very well-crafted and there were beautiful patterns on it, but the interior was a bit primitive. Definitely thought it was modern craftsmanship.

"Could it be the knowledge brought by Zhao Ziqiang, but why didn't he mention it..."

Zhao Guanren couldn't figure it out, so he took off the clothes of the two corpses, threw the corpses into a dry well in the backyard, and then poured half a bucket of water into the corpse powder, and stirred them evenly according to the proportion.

"If it can really turn a corpse into an invisible one, it will be a magic weapon for killing people..."

Zhao Guanren looked at the water that had turned dark green, and a pungent smell rushed over his face. He hurriedly held his breath and came to the dry well. Unexpectedly, he heard a "wheezing, wheezing" sound, as if a big mouse was in the well. Eat something.

"What the hell? Why can't I see the soul..."

Zhao Guanren put down the bucket suspiciously, lit a ball of withered grass with a lighter, and when he threw the dry grass into the well, he saw that two women with disheveled hair were gnawing on the corpse, and they couldn't even see the soul with the soul-chasing eyes, they could only look at it. I saw two dark objects.

"Fuck! Zombies..."

Zhao Guanren lay down at the mouth of the well in horror, and the two female zombies were attracted by the flames, and raised their heads with ferocious faces. Official scientific name - Corpse Demon.

"Damn! It turns out that Zhao Ziqiang's hometown also has zombies, so he didn't tell me..."

Zhao Guanren grabbed two more handfuls of grass and set fire to them. The two female zombies had obviously been seriously injured. Their legs were twisted like twists. No matter how hard they scratched, they couldn't get up.

"Strange! Why didn't the corpse poison break out in the city..."

Zhao Guanren reckoned that these two little girls must have died after being thrown into it. It is impossible for them to break both legs by jumping into the well. Moreover, their clothes have long since rotted into rags, so it seems that they are not worth much. Fei's silk has been trapped for at least one or two months.

"Wow~"

Zhao Guanren picked up the corpse water and poured it in. The two female zombies suddenly let out a hoarse roar, and a large puff of white smoke came out of their bodies. The flesh and blood began to melt and fall off like butter in a hot pan. The same is true of the two corpses.

"Damn it! You can't live in this ghostly place, everything is going to my house..."

After Zhao Guanren confirmed that the two zombies were dead, he lit the bloody clothes and threw them into the well. But just as he was about to dispose of the steel knife, he suddenly discovered that the killer was not using an ordinary knife. Oddly turquoise in color.

"It's not poisonous, is it?"
