i want to be by your side

A long time ago, in order to seek business, I issued ten assassination orders in Jianghu.Among them, there are five orders for one killing, three orders for double killings, and two orders for triple killings.As the name suggests, one kill order allows me to kill one person, double kill means to kill two, and triple kill means to kill three.Of course, this is not free, and the price is naturally the exchange of ten years of life.

Sometimes I do deals with people who don't have assassination warrants.The existence of the assassination order is only to limit the number of people who come to me, if not ten people are found in one day, one hundred in ten days, and then I have to kill one hundred people, which is equivalent to destroying a small sect. The self-proclaimed righteous people in the rivers and lakes still have to kill me; if I get offended by the court and post portraits everywhere to arrest me, how will I do business in the future?

Closer to home, as soon as the assassination order is issued, the exchange will begin, so I can't refuse and I can't refuse, I have to see blood and kill someone before I can stop.

"Do you know my rules?" I pushed the assassination order back to the "culprit" and asked seriously. "Once the three-kill order is issued, the first kill within three months, otherwise the first kill will be invalid; the second kill within seven months, otherwise the second kill will be invalid; the third kill within one year, otherwise the third kill will be invalid."

"Yeah." The "culprit" said, while withdrawing the assassination order. "I will leave Bianzhou in a few days and go to Xiqi country. It's okay for you to leave with me when the time comes, right? Clothes and horses will be prepared for you. You only need to bring what you need to bring."

I nodded, saying that it's okay, I can just check the other party's identity and the snake-shaped pendant of the folding fan, maybe there will be some clues.

"What else is there?" Seeing that they didn't plan to leave yet, I couldn't help asking.

Zheng Rentao was speechless: "Didn't you say you have something to tell me?"

"Oh." I remembered that I had indeed said this sentence. "That's right, Mr. Zheng, I do have something to tell you."

"Please tell me, shopkeeper."

"I heard that you have been pestering the second shopkeeper of my family this month?"

"I..." Zheng Rentao's face turned red all of a sudden, "She...cough cough, isn't this called entanglement? A fair lady, a gentleman is so good, I am not that, so good!"

"It doesn't matter whether you are good or bad, in short, your behavior has seriously affected Ling Ding's normal life and made her feel very distressed. If you continue like this, I don't guarantee that anything terrible will happen." I warned.

"But I like her! I swear that she is the best girl I have ever seen in my life. I will treat her well, follow her, pamper her, and be the only one in my life. Shopkeeper Long Qing, you Agree with me!"

"I agree with you? But if I agree with you, who will help her?" I said, "Mr. extinguished."

"So...she actually has someone else in her heart?"

"Hmm." Probably, or how was Yeyin born?I thought silently.

Zheng Rentao didn't speak any more, and was immersed in sadness alone. The "culprit" was leisurely drinking tea at the side, and suddenly my brain twitched, and I asked if the name of the "culprit" was really called the "culprit".

Unexpectedly, the "prime culprit" looked at me speechlessly, coupled with the caring eyes that seemed to be looking at the mentally retarded, it made me feel embarrassed-isn't it called the culprit?

"My name is Yuan Jian, the letter paper, don't make mistakes," she said.

"Okay, I remember." I said honestly, like a playful student facing the teacher.

In the evening, I had a meal with Bell and Yeyin and drank some wine to celebrate my return.

I first asked Yeyin about her recent studies. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can definitely ask Lingdang. Yeyin obediently responded, and didn’t tell me at all. In fact, Lingdang is already the second shopkeeper after me. , she had taken full charge of the restaurant two months ago.Then I told Lingdang to care more about Yeyin's healthy growth, and not to retreat and leave the child aside to fend for itself. Lingdang agreed, and also didn't say that because of her, Yeyin is busy with the restaurant now, and rarely time to talk together.Later, when I learned about these things, a long time had passed, and only in this respect, did I feel that Ye Yin's character was partly similar to Ling Ding's.

Finally, after the dinner was over, when the servants brought the dessert, I slowly told them that I would be leaving with Yuan Jian the day after tomorrow, and let Bell rest assured that I would find clues about the snake-shaped pendant for her by the way.

"I don't agree." She stood up suddenly, with her hands on the table and looked down at me with a serious expression. "I also need to go."

As for the other half, although Yeyin was not as excited as Bell, she also looked at me without saying a word, her dark pupils silently expressing her resistance to me.

"Don't look at it, you all stay here and watch the restaurant. I'm here to kill people, not to play." I said, "Yeyin, take a good look at the restaurant, you can't help you with this matter ;Ling Dang, I know you are eager to seek the truth, but now is not the time. Those people still remember you. If they find out, they will never let you go. Now there is only a pendant that looks like a snake. If you go to scare the snake What should I do? Just leave this matter to me, and I will inform you if there is any news. "

"Okay, it's so decided." I couldn't help but slap the board, "Yeyin, watch out for the bell, and if she sneaks out, you can fly the book to me."

"Master..." Bell begged.I am determined not to be moved by it.

At this time, Yeyin suddenly hesitated and said: "Aunt Qing, is the snake-shaped pendant you are talking about the pendant on that man's folding fan?"

"Yes, what did you find?" I asked, and at the same time, I was thinking that this child has a more delicate mind. After chatting with Yuan Jian and the others for so long today, he should have noticed the pendant, and maybe he will find something.

"I also saw that pendant when I was chatting with them today. At first glance, it looked a bit like a snake. But then the man saw that I was curious, so he asked me to take a closer look at the pendant..."

"What?" Seeing Yeyin's tangled expression, I asked suspiciously, "Isn't it a snake?" Even Lingdang turned his head to her side, waiting for the next sentence.

"Hmm...it shouldn't be a snake." Ye Yin said, "There seems to be a claw engraved inside the entwined body."

"Is it a snake with claws?" she asked suspiciously.

Bell and I looked at each other, and we both saw the doubt in each other's eyes. "Bing Dang, take out your snake-shaped pendant and have a look." I said.

Afterwards, the bell quickly made a decision, and a dark wooden box appeared in her hand.She took a deep breath before slowly opening the box.

Inside the box is the preserved but broken real snake pendant.Although Yeyin had heard about her life experience from Ling Dang very early on, and knew roughly what this snake-shaped pendant meant, she had never actually seen the snake-shaped pendant from the beginning to the end.She used to think that Ling Dang didn't have such a thing, but regretted it for a long time, and didn't dare to ask, fearing that it would bring back Ling Dang's memories, so she just let it go.I didn't expect the bell to exist.

"Xiaoyin, come and take a look. Is what you saw today the same as this one?" As I spoke, I signaled Bell to let Yeyin take a closer look at the box.

Ling Dang did as she did, and she did not forget to tell Ye Yin repeatedly, "Be sure to watch carefully." In fact, she must be the most nervous and anxious of the three of us right now.

"Mother, don't worry." Yeyin said.She carefully put the broken pendant together, and I used magic to shine a light on her so that she could see it more carefully.

After half a stick of incense, Yeyin finally finished watching. "How?" Bell asked impatiently.

"It's not the same." Yeyin took a long breath and said with certainty.Then she pointed to a certain place on the snake-shaped pendant and said: "Look, right here, half a claw will be exposed on that pendant, but now there is nothing. Other than that, it is almost exactly the same. I really can’t figure this out.”

The same pendant, the difference is that one has no claws and the other has claws.Is there any connection between this?

"Ling Dang, isn't your friend a snake demon?" I suddenly thought.

Yeyin also turned her head to look at her, her big black eyes shining with curiosity.

"This... I don't know." Bell said with difficulty.

"I don't know?!" I was stunned, "Can you be more reliable, Ling Dang? You don't even know what your girlfriend is."

"I only know that she has always been a very strong demon." Ling Dang said seriously, "everyone calls her Demon Lord."
