Chapter 118

"Chen Pi listened to the people around him discussing and probably knew what happened."

"But Chen Pi had seen many dead bodies, and he had seen many river pirates killing people; these had nothing to do with him."

"Just as Chen Pi was about to leave, he suddenly saw a boy covered in blood sitting blankly by the side of the boat."

"Chen Pi recognized that it was Silly Chun. He sat there motionless, holding a jar tightly in his hands."

"But now Chen Pi had to go to do manual labor, otherwise today's meal would not be guaranteed."

"He didn't look at Chun Shen again and walked away without looking back."

At this moment, the audience's mood was very heavy.

Especially since Silly Chun's family was clearly the most ordinary fishermen, although life was a bit poor."

"But as long as the family was together, even if life was bitter, there was hope."

"Now, because of the river pirates, only Silly Chun was still alive."

"If it followed the development of a general story."

"At this moment, Chen Pi should take in Silly Chun and keep this little apprentice."

"Teach Silly Chun kung fu, and let Silly Chun take revenge after growing up!"

"But the development of facts did not follow people's wishes; Chen Pi had no interest in being a good person."

"He just finished watching the excitement and left, just like the group of onlookers, without anything special."

"Not a trace of heroism could be seen on him."

"At this moment, the audience could be said to be disappointed with Chen Pi to the extreme!"

"Chen Pi did two trips of manual labor and got ten coins, dragging the wooden board back in the sunset."

"Passing by the place in the morning, the crowd of onlookers had long since dispersed, the boat was still there, and the corpses had been carried away by others."

"Chun Shen was squatting at the stern of the boat alone, using a rag to wash the blood on the deck."

"The blood was frozen on the deck, so he had to scrub very hard. After scrubbing a few times, he had to wash it in the river water. The river water outside the boat was covered with a layer of blood foam."

"This little child seemed to have grown up a lot overnight; his scrubbing movements looked just like those trackers on the wharf."

"Chen Pi stopped to look at Chun Shen, and Chun Shen also looked up at him."

"Chen Pi suddenly had an impulse; he felt that this little brat shouldn't be alive. What is the point of living? And how long can he live?"

It must be said that people like Chen Pi have a brain circuit different from ordinary people.

The audience no longer expected him to save people.

I didn't expect him to have such a crazy idea!

This is simply not human!

Many people couldn't help but roll their eyes, hating Chen Pi Ah Si to the bone.

"Chen Pi watched for a while and felt bored, so he turned and left."

"At this time, he suddenly felt someone following him. When he looked back, Chun Shen was holding that jar in his arms, following him blankly, looking at the wooden board he was dragging."

"Chen Pi saw his blank look and suddenly felt a burst of anger. He went up, raised the wooden board, swung it, and knocked Chun Shen to the ground with one board."

"Chen Pi's blood rushed up, and Xi Qi's words suddenly echoed in his ears: 'Your wealth and honor are all on these six words.'"

"The anger accumulated during this period of time erupted all at once. Chen Pi went up and smashed the board hard against Chun Shen's head three times in a row."

"While smashing, he shouted: 'Where is the wealth and honor! Where is the wealth and honor! Where is the wealth and honor!'"

"The wooden board cracked, the skin on Chun Shen's head was smashed open, and his nose and mouth were full of blood; he couldn't even stand up."

"Chen Pi looked coldly at Chun Shen, as if he saw himself, a person who had no way out and was trapped in the same place without hope. His killing intent rose, and he raised the wooden board."

"Suddenly, his foot stepped on something. Looking down, he saw Chun Shen's jar had broken, and a handful of copper coins had fallen out."

At this moment, some people were already shouting excitedly.

Because Zhang Lin's storytelling narrative was so vivid.

Scene after scene made people feel as if they had seen the bloodbath by the Yangtze River with their own eyes.

And Chen Pi's beating of the pitiful Chun Shen.

A person who treated killing as a daily routine and would kill at the drop of a hat.

Suddenly guided by a scholar, telling him that killing must have a price.

A fool whose family was destroyed overnight, holding the only piggy bank of the whole family.

Chen Pi Ah Si was beating Chun Shen and asking where his wealth and honor were?

Why was there no one willing to spend a hundred coins to hire him to kill, and Chun Shen's piggy bank broke!"

This seemed to be something destined in the dark.

Even those who had opinions about Chen Pi Ah Si couldn't wait to see the reversal of the situation at this moment.

Everyone shouted one after another.

"Mr. Zhang, is this Chun Shen Chen Pi's first customer?"

"Chen Pi eventually did get wealth and honor because of him, so Chun Shen will always follow Chen Pi, right?"

"If Chen Pi really helped Chun Shen take revenge, I would respect him as a man!"

The audience discussed heatedly, but Zhang Lin smiled without saying a word.

If everything in the world were as perfect as in novels, would it still be the human world?

Chen Pi's life experience is just like this.

When you think he should do something, he won't.

For example, everyone thinks he should take Chun Shen as an apprentice, teach him skills, and let Chun Shen take revenge.

But in fact, Chen Pi not only didn't do this, he also beat Chun Shen up."

"Chun Shen had already lost his family, and he was beaten until his head was bleeding."

"What is this?"

"This is reality!"

"If Chen Pi did things according to ordinary people's ideas, he wouldn't be Chen Pi!"

"So facing everyone's questions, Zhang Lin didn't answer directly, but chose to continue storytelling."

"Chun Shen followed Chen Pi back to the dilapidated temple. Chen Pi served Chun Shen a bowl of spicy stew, and Chun Shen ate it like a hungry tiger."

"Chen Pi ignored him and continued to count the copper coins on the table."

"The blood on Chun Shen's head had dried, forming scabs on his forehead and behind his ears."

"Chen Pi felt that this child was the same as him, with a thick skull, so there was little space inside, and his brain was dull."

"The copper coins were divided into groups of ten and stacked up, pile by pile. Chen Pi had already counted them several times."

"He scratched his head; it wasn't enough for a hundred coins, only ninety-nine."

"The Exemption Flag tied to the fish-drying rope was placed on the table, and the copper coins were pressed on it. On the Exemption Flag, there was a pattern of a yellow sunflower embroidered."

"The yellow sunflower was the symbol of the Huang Kui Gang. Chun Shen wanted to kill whom, Chen Pi naturally knew, but to find out whose Exemption Flag this was, it would probably take some effort."

"The main problem was that the money was not enough, one coin short."

"Xi Qi said a hundred coins, so it must be a hundred coins, otherwise what if his wealth and honor didn't work?"

"So Chen Pi said to Chun Shen: 'Killing one person is a hundred coins, one is missing, not enough money.'"

"Chun Shen didn't understand at all, only knowing to bury his head in eating."

"Chen Pi was immediately annoyed, slapped the table, and roared: 'Damn it, one coin short!'"

"Chun Shen had no reaction at all. This jar of copper coins was saved by his mother burning clam shells; he naturally didn't know how much money was inside, nor had he counted it."

"Chen Pi looked at the foolish Chun Shen, sighed, and then took Chun Shen's hand and walked toward the embankment."

"Walking and saying: 'Now I'm going to the boat to find money. As long as I find one coin, I will help you kill!'"

"Chun Shen nodded. Hearing the word 'kill', his eyes suddenly widened."

"The smell of blood on the boat was still very heavy. Chen Pi searched for a long time, but there was not a single copper coin."

"He irritably threw all the broken copper and iron into the river, already muttering a bit crazily: 'Just one more, just one more is enough!'"

"This search and toss lasted until midnight, and the bottom of the boat was almost turned over before Chen Pi realized that there was really not a single copper coin left on Chun Shen's family's boat."

"Fate played a sarcastic joke on him, and on Chun Shen."

"Chen Pi went from calm to violent, and then from violent to expressionless. When he got off the boat, he was completely disheartened."

"He held the wind lamp in front of Chun Shen, threw the Exemption Flag and the copper coins inside in front of Chun Shen, and then turned and left."

"Chun Shen was stunned for a moment, immediately climbed up to chase after him, ran to him with difficulty, and held the money up to him."

"Chen Pi pushed him away and said: 'One hundred coins to kill one person, still one short.'"

"Chun Shen was still holding his hand up. Chen Pi felt indifferent in his heart and continued to walk forward, and Chun Shen followed, holding his hand up the whole time." ===== CHAPTER 119 =====
