Stealing Pens: Travelers from the End of the World

After losing his memory, Zhang Qiling either stared at the ceiling or the sky in a daze every day. When Qin Yuchen gave him medicine, he took it. When he was asked to drink water, he drank it. When he was asked to eat, he sat at the table and ate. Let him rest, and he would lie down on the bed and close his eyes, looking like an obedient child.

Tan Yuchen also asked Zhang Qiling what his plans were, but Zhang Qiling would only shake his head and express that he didn't know.

Zhang Qiling, who had lost his memory, could not recall any of his past. He was like a lonely boat on the sea, not knowing his way out or what was ahead.

Heixiazi has not been here for the past two days. I heard that there is a job that has not received the final payment, and he is going to collect the debt.

So there were only two people left in the small hotel who didn't like to talk much.

Tan Yuchen was quite at ease. 007 didn't assign any tasks to him. Zhang Qiling looked much better now and would probably leave soon. But that's none of Qin Yuchen's business, because the things he was responsible for had been completed a few days ago, and now he was just taking care of them.

In the evening, Heixiazi returned to the hotel with dinner. This time he didn't ask for money, which caused Qin Yuchen to look at him several times. After confirming that it was him, he relaxed and opened the steaming meal.

"Little boss, are you interested in making money with the blind man?" asked the black blind man.

"What? You hired me?" Tan Yuchen looked at him strangely and asked.

The blind man shook his head, and the two brothers put their hands on the man's shoulders: "I don't think the little boss is very skilled, so I invite you to make money together~ Mute too, right?"

Zhang Qiling ignored him and just looked at Tan Yuchen.

Tan Yuchen frowned in confusion, not understanding what Zhang Qiling meant, so he continued to ask: "Please explain clearly first."

"Do you still remember where we met?" asked the black blind man.

"Ah."

"There is a small village not far away on the road, and there is a group of foreign mercenaries inside." The black blind man adjusted his glasses and lowered his voice and whispered, "They have been there for several months, and the village is doing well in order not to attract attention. It was built by taking what you wanted from the tomb.”

Qin Yuchen laughed when he heard the words "not attracting attention", thinking about the weirdness of the village, but any normal person can see the problem: "Why did you stay so long?"

"The mercenary leader came to me and said that it was very fierce inside. Several waves of people were trapped inside, so he paid me to go there." The black blind man said, "Foreigners' money is nothing if you don't make it." Isn’t it?”

"...Since it's so fierce, how can you ensure that you come out safely?" Tan Yuchen was confused.

The blind man leaned on the man's shoulder and laughed a few times. Tan Yuchen turned his head to avoid it and pushed the boneless man away. The blind man sat down and then continued: "I only charge the money to accompany them in. As for coming out, I am the only one who is blind." Even if people come out, they will be counted.”

"..." Okay, Tan Yuchen thought, and he turned around and asked Zhang Qiling, "What about you? What are your plans?"

Zhang Qiling paused while eating, but his face remained as calm as ever. He spoke softly and said one word: "Go."

Tan Yuchen looked as if this was the case, but he didn't say anything, and finally agreed to go together.

At that time, I originally thought about waiting for Zhang Qiling's incident to be over before going to the village to see it, and now was the opportunity.

The three of them had dinner, Qin Yuchen went to take a shower, Zhang Qiling sat in front of the window in a daze, and the blind man went downstairs to contact the boss.

It was finally decided to set off early the next morning.

Qin Yuchen held the towel in his left hand and the gray knife in his right hand, and handed it to Zhang Qiling: "Since the blind man said that the tomb is dangerous, I will lend it to you temporarily. Remember to return it when you leave."

Zhang Qiling took the knife and looked down at it. He blinked quickly to hide the emotions inside.

He touched the lines on the scabbard with the unusually long fingers of his right hand. The runes shone coldly under the light. Zhang Qiling carefully identified them but could not tell what the runes were.

"Little boss, why don't you give the blind man a knife to use?" The black blind man packed his backpack and put it aside, joking.

Tan Yuchen wiped his hair and looked at him with a smile, "Okay, then you can conjure up another one for Zhang Qiling now?"

The blind man raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Tsk, isn't the little boss trying to make things difficult for me, the blind man?"

Zhang Qiling ignored the two of them, put away the knife and lay down on the bed, put his hand on his chest, closed his eyes, and began to rest.

"Huh?" Tan Yuchen watched Zhang Qiling's series of actions with interest, and finally pushed the blind man out of the door together, "Okay, go back to your room and rest."

On the day Heixiazi arrived, the two of them had rented two rooms respectively. Otherwise, the bed in one room would not be able to sleep three grown men who were over [-] meters tall.

Early the next morning, Heixiazi took the key to check out. Tan Yuchen and Zhang Qiling got in the car first. Tan Yuchen was still driving during the day, while Zhang Qiling sat in the passenger seat, wearing a hood and holding a knife, and began to close his eyes and meditate.

Tan Yuchen put his right hand on his leg and beat the rhythm, looking sideways at Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling is very good-looking, and the hood covering half of his face does not affect his handsomeness at all. After a week of self-cultivation, he can finally see a little rosiness on his face.

The gaze from the side was too direct. Zhang Qiling unconsciously rubbed the hand holding the knife, his eyelashes trembled, but he did not open his eyes.

The blind man arrived just in time. Tan Yuchen looked back and said a few words to the blind man. Zhang Qiling breathed a subtle sigh of relief, the tips of his ears hidden under the hood still glowing red.

Having walked the road once, Tan Yuchen was confident, so he drove fast but very steadily. The blind man was very quiet along the way. Tan Yuchen looked through the rearview mirror. The blind man folded his hands on his chest and lowered his head slightly, as if he was resting. As for Zhang Qiling, Tan Yuchen would probably take action directly if he heard that he was talkative.

Let’s get some car music sometime. Qin Yuchen thought that driving alone was a bit boring.

★

After driving for seven or eight days, it finally arrived on the night of the ninth day.

The black blind man spared some distance and drove the car to a flat area. There were dozens of cars parked there. It must have been a special parking place for the group.

The three of them got out of the car, and the blind man led the way, walking on an inconspicuous path.

More than ten minutes later, the three of them arrived outside the village, where a man stood. He was about [-] meters tall, with a strong build, and his clothes were tight with bulging muscles. The man frowned, a little impatient.

"Master Hei, our boss has been waiting for you for a long time." The man spoke broken Chinese and turned sideways to get out of the way, "Please?"

The blind man didn't pay attention. He put his left hand around Tan Yuchen's shoulder, and was about to hug Zhang Qiling with his right hand. He was frightened back by the latter's look:

"Then let's go, little boss, and let the mute follow."

"Pfft." Tan Yuchen clapped his hand on his shoulder and said with a smile, "Master Hei, please?"

The blind man pursed his lips and followed the man first.

Qin Yuchen looked around without leaving a trace. The village was very quiet. The houses on both sides had no lights and looked dark. The woman and old man he met when he came last time were also gone. He didn't know if they were resting or something.

The man led the three people to a mud room. There were not many things in the room, just some common tables, chairs and benches. There were a few glasses of water on the table. You could tell at a glance that it was specially prepared.

There were two people sitting next to the table. One was a blond foreigner. He was playing with the ring on his hand and looking at the three black and blind men with smiling eyes. The other one was the old man that Tan Yuchen met last time. The old man's cloudy eyes stopped on Tan Yuchen's face for a long time and said, "Hello, young man, we meet again."

Qin Yuchen also smiled at the right time: "Long time no see, grandpa."

"Know?" Hei Xiazi asked in a low voice.

Qin Yuchen just shook his head, keeping his eyes on the old man.

"Mr. Xu, do you know each other?" the blond man with blue eyes asked.

"I've met once." Mr. Xu looked away, picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, and replied in English.

The blond didn't ask any more questions. He raised his hand and motioned for the three of them to sit down. He also said in broken Chinese: "Hello, my name is Alvar, and this is our consultant. Just call me Mr. Xu. Could you please introduce yourselves?"

Hei Xiazi was the first to sit down, picked up the water glass and drank water: "Boss, you are welcome, just call me Hei Xiazi. One of these two people's surname is Zhang and the other is Tan."

Alvar nodded: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Qin, hello."

Tan Yuchen sat next to Heixiazi, and Zhang Qiling sat next to him. The former said hello, while the latter just nodded.

"Hei... Are you sure Mr. Hei can get what our boss wants?" Alvar paused and asked.

The black blind man said: "As long as the money is available, there will be something in the east and west tombs."

"Okay, I like Mr. Hei's confidence." Alvar applauded and praised unceremoniously, "The deposit has been transferred to Mr. Hei's card. For the money of your two friends, I still need to ask Mr. Hei to give you the card number."

The blind man looked back at the two of them and asked with his eyes.

Qin Yuchen was silent, thinking that he didn't seem to have a bank card, so he usually took money directly from 007. So he threw the question to Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling's face was a little numb and he glared at the blind man who turned his attention to him.

Black blind man: "..."

The unjust black blind man had no choice but to tell Alvar that he should also pay him the two pieces of money...

The three of them came to the room Alvar had prepared for them. The black blind man threw down his backpack and started to accuse Qin Yuchen: "Why didn't the little boss say earlier that there was no card? Blind man, I can prepare it for you?"

"Isn't there Zhang Qiling?" Tan Yuchen was not convinced.

"...Don't compare yourself to people with amnesia." He rolled his eyes behind his sunglasses and thought that Tan Yuchen couldn't see, so the black blind man moved his hands and was speechless. He poked Tan Yuchen's shoulder and said, "I don't care, the money is on my card. If you want to use it, you have to pay a handling fee."

"..." Tan Yuchen didn't want to argue with him and said to Zhang Qiling, "The blind man wants to cheat you!"

Zhang Qiling: "..." Please don't call me, thank you.

"Little boss~ Blind man, I want your handling fee, and I'm not mute. Why are you still wronging a good person?"

Qin Yuchen ignored everyone and took his own bag to pack the equipment for tomorrow morning in a way that I couldn't hear.

"Tsk, why are you both doing this?" Seeing that others were ignoring him, the black blind man moved next to Zhang Qiling again, "Tell me, mute, did you lead the little boss into trouble?"

...Zhang Qiling frowned and moved away from someone with a look of disgust on his face, ignoring him just like Tan Yuchen.

Black blind man: "..." 嘤嘤嘤~
