Shu Xingmi's eyes were inconvenient, so Han Xi gave him vegetables and meat, but Shu Xingmi was not in a hurry to eat.

When a killer walks outside, he always needs to be careful. Eating indiscriminately is a big taboo. Generally, when eating alone, he will use the poison-testing silver needle to try the food one by one before he can eat. Like this kind of big table meal , it is not convenient to use silver needles, so it depends on what other people eat.

Shu Xingmi observed for a while, Han Xi had eaten three dishes of cabbage, tofu mixed with shallots, and Kung Pao chicken, and he also ate these three dishes, but he didn't dare to eat more, fearing that Han Xi would overdo it , can only taste it.

After dinner, the servants went upstairs to rest in the house, Shu Xingmi also went with them.

Steward Zhou has a youngest son who is usually the most mischievous. When he saw Hanxi playing tricks on Shu Xingmi during meals, he thought it was interesting, so he wanted to play tricks on him as well.

Shu Xingmi walked forward slowly with a bamboo stick to explore the way, but the housekeeper's son snickered and walked a few steps in front of him, pretending to inadvertently stretch out a leg, trying to trip him up.

Shu Xingmi actually saw it, but he had no choice but to hide it.

Why is this kid so skinny?

In a panic, he tilted his head slightly, and cast his eyes in the direction of the cold breath, faintly asking for help.

Pei Yu, if you remember how I treated you well in the previous seven lifetimes, please help me, Shu Xingmi said silently.

Han Xi picked up the brat's collar by the nape of his neck, and dragged the boy aside: "Don't mess around."

"Well, you were messing around just now, tell me now." The butler's child twisted his arms and legs on the spot.

Big brother is eccentric!

The moment the bear child left, Shu Xingmi took a smooth step, neither revealing that he was blind nor falling down.

For the sake of helping me this time, let’s forget about tricking me into eating ginger just now, Shu Xingmi smiled half-smile, with his lips curled up, and glanced at Han Xi, Han Xi was very arrogant and didn’t look at him, just walked away Going to his side, he held his forearm rudely: "Go, go upstairs, the first step is in front of you."

"Thank you." Shu Xingmi whispered.

Han Xi didn't answer, just helped him into the room. Shu Xingmi was picked up by Mr. Fu, and he didn't have the treatment of a single room. He lived in Datong Shop with six or seven other servants, and shared a room with Han Xi.

Before going to bed, the servants of the wealthy businessman all have to go to the bathing pool to take a bath. After all, everyone has spent a long time in the desert full of yellow sand, and their bodies are covered in sand. Even if they are not too dirty, in order to serve Mr. Fu better, Wash it clean, if there is mud under the nails when serving tea to the master tomorrow, Mr. Fu will scold him.

The guests of the whole store go to the big bathing pool to take a bath, and a dozen people soak in the same pool to mix, unlike Mr. Fu who has a tub in his room and can bathe alone.

Shu Xingmi took off his clothes and stepped into the bath, the water in the bath was actually like a mud pond.

So dirty...but had to wash.

Shu Xingmi scooped up a handful of water to wash his body, his fair skin was covered with scars in all directions, there were three two-inch long scars on his bare shoulders, which seemed to be scratched by iron claws, and there was a shocking scar beside the spine on his back. The knife wound seemed to be very deep.

The bathing pool was filled with mist, and the brown light was dim like a dream. Others couldn't see the scars on Shu Xingmi's body clearly. The cold breath was the closest to him, and they could see clearly. Every scar seemed to have planted a cruel plant. In the scene, Han Xi couldn't help but start to imagine, how did these scars come from?

Anyway, blood is indispensable in every scene.

That's how he grew up.

Han Xi approached Shu Xingmi, Shu Xingmi took half a step back, raised his eyes and said softly: "Keep the rules."

There are three unwritten rules in the world of assassins. First, do not assassinate when others are respectful. Second, do not assassinate when others are taking a bath. Third, do not assassinate when others are in bed. Violating these three rules is immoral, and evil will be punished. The retribution is that you will encounter accidents when doing these three things. Killers are still superstitious, and generally will not commit these three things.

"It scares you, and I'm not going to do anything," Han Xi put a small pack of bath beans in Shu Xingmi's palm: "I'm kind enough to help you get this, but you still doubt me."

"...Thank you." Shu Xingmi squeezed the bath beans, and went to a distance to continue washing his body.

Han Xi looked at the curves of Shu Xingmi's back and waist, and whistled happily while taking a bath.

In the early morning of the next day, Shu Xingmi suffered from stomach problems.

Perhaps it was because he was not acclimatized to the environment when he first came here, his stomach seemed to be squeezed by countless hands, he felt like vomiting, but he couldn't vomit anything, the pain was unbearable when he sat up, and he was barely comfortable when he curled up.

"Zhu Lang, what's the matter?" Han Xi sat on the edge of the bed, put the back of his hand on Shu Xingmi's forehead: "Do you feel unwell?"

"No." Shu Xingmi's mouth was stiff, but his brows were furrowed uncontrollably, he covered his stomach with his hands, his eyes were vigilant, and his face was weak.

If Han Xi attacked him at this time, he would lose his skin if he didn't die.

"It's so cute." Han Xi sensed his uneasiness, stood up and left, and went to Mr. Fu's room.

Mr. Fu had just finished his morning tea and was standing at the window looking at the scenery. When he heard the door ring, he turned around and moved a wooden pier, with a respectful attitude: "Sit."

Han Xi nodded: "How did you sleep last night?"

Third Master Fu smiled and said in a low voice: "I live in the same inn with two killers, I don't dare to sleep too deeply."

He breathed a light smile.

"By the way, Xing'er told me just now that Wu Zhu doesn't seem to be feeling well?" Fu Sanye leaned into Han Xi's ear and whispered, "I've heard that his stomach problem is a long-standing problem. Do you want to take this opportunity?" made him."

In fact, Sanye Fu was just disguised as a wealthy businessman. His real identity is also the killer of Caiqiutang, and he came from the same school as Han Xi. "Civil girl tortured to death" is just a pretense, the purpose is to bring Shu Xingmi into the game, Shichun Pavilion accepted this commission, and they fell into their bait.

"Not good." Han Xi shook his head, rubbed his fingers on the teacup, and said with lowered eyes: "His skill is so good, he will never be inferior to you and me. Even if the stomach problem recurs, we must not take it lightly. Let's attack him now. It’s just to scare the snake, not only can’t complete the task, but he may even be killed by him, then you and I will lose face, how can we explain to the hall master when we go back?”

"However, if you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to deal with him again!" Fu Sanye thumped the table unwillingly: "Then what do you think?"

"Waiting for the opportunity," Han Xi blinked calmly: "Find out his living habits, and then look for an opportunity to attack, it is much safer than rushing to attack now, and... If his stomach disease is really that fatal, then he will die early It's been a hundred times, and it's your turn to set up a trick to kill him?"

"...Okay, then wait," Fu Sanye's anger suddenly subsided, "I'll listen to you, when you tell me to do it, do it at any time."

"Well, there's no need to rush this kind of thing. Prince Zhao of Wanzhou also set up a trap to arrest him. Do you remember what happened?"

"I didn't even catch a single strand of hair." Fu Sanye rested his chin.

"The head of the Qinghu Escort set up a Hongmen banquet for him, so what happened?"

"Strangled to death by one of his hairbands." Fu Sanye's voice was even softer.

"So, what are you in a hurry for?" Han Xi took out his wallet and said, "I'll go to the pharmacy to get some medicine for him later and heal him well. This matter has to be done slowly, first to win his trust."

"A killer is an unfamiliar wolf, so he won't trust you." Fu Sanye didn't take it seriously: "And, with his keenness, he should already know that you are a colleague."

Han Xi went out to buy some medicine for stomach problems, and asked the kitchen to fry it up. He saw that Shu Xingmi hadn't gone downstairs for breakfast, so he brought breakfast upstairs by the way.

"Zhulang, are you feeling better?" Han Xi changed into a harmless smile, and put the wooden plate on the table, the aroma of porridge immediately lingered in the room.

Shu Xingmi had washed up just now, and lay back on the bed because of the pain in his stomach. Now he smelled this smell, and his stomach growled twice.

I want to eat.

"I'm fine, I'm just lying in bed." Shu Xingmi forced himself to sit up, his stomach throbbing with pain.

"Eat something," Han Xi brought the porridge bowl over, and sat on the bedside: "I know a thing or two about medicine, judging from your symptoms, it should be a problem in the stomach, and porridge nourishes the stomach. Alright."

Shu Xingmi took the porridge bowl, stirred it with a spoon, and looked up at the cold breath.

"What are you looking at me for? Drink." Han Xi looked at the spoon: "You want me to feed you?"

"I dare to drink what others give, but yours..." Shu Xingmi blinked.

"Can we not judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain? Why don't you trust me that much?" Han Xi smiled.

"If I give you a bowl of porridge, would you dare to drink it without saying a word?"

"..."

Han Xi really dare not, there is no way, pure trust is difficult to exist between killers, you never know who the opposite person is doing, and if it is the opposite party, you don't even know how they died.

"Then I'll drink half of it first, and you drink the other half, it can't be poisonous, right?" Han Xi compromised.

"How do you prove that you didn't drink the antidote first?"

"They are all brothers on the road. If I harm anyone, I can't harm you. Let's be honest, I also came to kill Fu Sanye. This man has done a lot of evil and has too many enemies. Our Caiqiu Hall has been entrusted a long time ago, so I We have been lurking by his side for so long, and we just happened to bump into each other, as long as he dies, both of us can complete the mission."

Shu Xingmi almost believed it, but unfortunately he had read the script in advance, Han Xi was here to assassinate him.

"I don't believe it," Shu Xingmi looked into Han Xi's eyes, and directly pointed out his identity: "Qianzhenfenghouhua Fifth Master actually put down his wealth to personally kill a rich businessman, and he didn't succeed for so long... It's strange."

"Oh, you don't know, Caiqiu Hall is in a downturn right now. You haven't seen how many people left our hall last month. The population is really dying, so I have to come out to pick up business. It can't compare to your Shichun Pavilion. It's booming every day." Han Xi took the porridge bowl from Shu Xingmi's hand, and changed the subject: "This porridge will be cold if you don't drink it, what's the matter, don't you feel relieved if I have to take a sip and pass it to you?"
