Chapter 116

Moreover, what Xi Qi did also had quite a legendary color.

So the rule of one hundred coins to kill one person was said by Xi Qi.

That sentence of his, that Chen Pi's future wealth and honor were all in these six words.

It had quite a bit of the meaning of fortune-telling!

"After Xi Qi died, Chen Pi's life did not change at all."

"He still went to the river to catch crabs. The bait for catching crabs was the corpses he picked up from the mass grave."

"Soaked in river water, fat and white, they were the crabs' favorite."

"Chen Pi didn't mind these crabs caught by dead bodies; he set up a pot by the river and started boiling them."

"At this time, a group of fishermen's children threw stones at him and called him a beggar."

"Chen Pi usually ignored them, but today Xi Qi died, and Chen Pi's mood was very gloomy."

"He stood up to chase the group of children. The children scattered, leaving only one kid who looked silly."

"This kid was called Chun Shen. Because of intellectual problems, he was called Silly Chun."

"Chen Pi picked up Chun Shen and threw him into the river."

"Children who grew up by the river were all good swimmers, so Chun Shen swam to the shore in a little while."

"But Chen Pi took a wooden stick and kept pushing Chun Shen into the water."

"Until he saw Chun Shen flipping his belly and starting to struggle in the water, he stopped."

When Zhang Lin said this, some people couldn't help but start cursing.

"Damn! I knew this Chen Pi Ah Si was a rotten person!"

"Exactly. He killed people when he was old, and there were signs when he was young; bullying children!"

"The key is that this child is also a fool. He doesn't bully others, just bullies a fool."

"Listening to this makes me angry; I want to beat Chen Pi up!"

The audience had a very negative opinion of Chen Pi.

Zhang Lin did not defend Chen Pi.

Instead, he continued: "After he felt bored, he stopped pushing Chun Shen into the water."

"At this time, he found that Chun Shen didn't cry, just looked at him blankly. He seemed too stupid, not even knowing how to cry!"

"Chen Pi looked at Chun Shen and felt that this little brat was a bit like him when he was young; it didn't make any difference whether he lived or not. Thinking this, he kicked Chun Shen back into the water and turned to leave."

"In the following days, Chen Pi relied on catching crabs to survive, and went to the market at night to set up a stall to kill people."

"The children by the river still came to make trouble as usual, and Chen Pi didn't care."

"Once winter came by the river, crabs could hardly be caught, and the military police were all over the city, so he didn't dare to steal or rob. Chen Pi went to the wharf to find some manual labor to survive the winter."

"At this time, still no one patronized him to ask him to kill people. He couldn't help but start to wonder if Xi Qi was just talking nonsense before he died?"

"One day, he was setting up his stall again, when suddenly his head hurt, and he was hit by a stone."

"Opening his eyes, he saw Chun Shen dragging his snot, throwing stones at him."

"Chen Pi was a bit stunned, recognizing that this was the Silly Shen he had kicked into the water before."

"This little brat didn't die, and he even got fatter. Truly, fools have fool's luck."

"In the moment he was dazed, Chun Shen's two stones hit his head hard, making him see stars."

"After not seeing him for a while, this fool had become more skilled at throwing stones."

"Chen Pi stood up, and Chun Shen immediately turned and ran away, hiding behind a sturdy man."

"That sturdy man looked up at Chen Pi; his eyebrows and eyes looked very similar to Chun Shen's."

"The two looked at each other, and the sturdy man didn't speak, just blocked in front of Chun Shen."

"Yangtze River trackers were very fierce and united. Chen Pi instinctively took a step back, and the killing intent in his heart rose again."

"But he suddenly remembered that this person was one of the foremen on the wharf, and everyone on the wharf listened to him. Now the wharf was busy; if he went up and fought with him, he would definitely be the one to suffer."

"Chen Pi glared at Chun Shen and shrank back, comforting himself that he now had a price for killing people, and he shouldn't do any more killing without benefits!"

"Chen Pi watched the man pat Chun Shen on the back of the neck, and Chun Shen ran away along the river embankment."

"Running to a boat, the boat was a small fishing boat on the river, and a woman picked him up onto the boat."

"Clearly, this family was fishermen living by the river, catching fish in the river in spring, summer, and autumn, and pulling trackers in winter. The whole family must live on the boat."

"Chen Pi looked at that family, and suddenly watched for a long time, with an indescribable feeling in his heart."

When Zhang Lin said this, the venue had quieted down.

The tone of this story was like the Yangtze River in winter, somewhat desolate and bleak.

There was also an indescribable feeling that always made people feel oppressed.

Especially Chen Pi staring at that family in a daze; no one knew what he was thinking.

But it seemed everyone knew what he was thinking.

Chen Pi was an orphan; he probably had never experienced what it was like for a family to be together, right?

Later, he respected Yue Hong and Ya Tou; was it also because his master and mistress were the only ray of light in his life?

……

"At night, Chun Shen's family was eating and talking. Chun Shen's sister mentioned Chen Pi."

"She said Chen Pi had watched the boat for a long time by the river, and also said Chen Pi had a rule of killing one person for a hundred coins."

"Chun Shen, who was eating with his head down, heard this and suddenly looked up to ask his sister: 'Is killing people punishable by beheading?'"

"Chun Shen's father and sister both told him not to worry about these things and to eat quickly."

"At night, the family was sleeping soundly when they suddenly heard noise outside."

"Chun Shen's sister put on her clothes and heard her father shout, 'River pirates are here!'"

"By the time Chun Shen's father rushed to the bow of the boat, he immediately saw a half-naked man squatting there, broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, his skin as white as snow, and his whole body wet."

"The man turned to look at Chun Shen's father and said he wanted a bowl of water to drink."

"Chun Shen's father saw the man's appearance and knew he was an expert in the water, so he didn't dare to have a conflict with him. Chun Shen's father poured the man a bowl of water."

"The man drank the water and threw out a small yellow flag with 'Exemption Flag' written on it."

"The man said he was a Pao Tou of the Huang Kui Gang. With this Exemption Flag hanging on the boat, the river pirates would not ask his family's boat for money in the future."

"The Pao Tou said, and started complaining, saying that he, a dignified Pao Tou, was now arranged to pick flower drums, and he had to pick eight flower drums before he could go back."

"As he spoke, he pulled a rope from the stern of Chun Shen's boat, and there were several human heads strung on the rope."

"Chun Shen's sister recognized at a glance that it was the family on the neighboring boat who often played with Chun Shen."

"The little girl's head had already been cut in half, and Chun Shen's sister screamed in terror."

"And the Pao Tou counted the heads calmly, only to find that three were missing."

When Zhang Lin said this, the audience had already started to feel distressed.

A Pao Tou picking flower drums was actually like soldiers in the past cutting off heads to exchange for military merit; they had to have enough."

Now it was winter, and there were few boats on the river."

This man could become a river pirate Pao Tou because he was a cold-blooded killer."

Three flower drums."

Chun Shen's father, Chun Shen's mother, and Chun Shen's sister, just right."

Some people couldn't bear to listen anymore; this family might have had too bad luck, meeting this Pao Tou, and they probably wouldn't survive the night."

Sure enough, at this moment, they heard Zhang Lin say: "The Pao Tou found that the heads were missing, so he turned to Chun Shen's father and smiled."

"While smiling, he said: 'Oh, damn, sorry, old man, the number of flower drums is not right, I have to borrow your heads.'"

"Chun Shen's father hadn't reacted yet when the Pao Tou had already pressed Chun Shen's sister down, and with very skilled movements, used a small knife to cut the neck meat until it was only connected by the spine, and with a hard snap, Chun Shen's sister's head was snapped off."
