Chapter 61

"Ban Tuo asked a surviving worker—this worker had been stabbed three times in the chest by Chen Pi—forcing him to ask if he knew who the owner of the Exemption Flag was."

"The worker had a big life and didn't die. Ban Tuo asked him who did it?"

"The worker said directly: 'It was a beggar; he said he only collected one hundred wen!'"

"The Huang Kui leader pointed at the dead corpses and said to Ban Tuo: 'This is an expert; these people were all killed with one knife, the knife inserted through the ear hole, bringing out brain matter.'"

"Ban Tuo nodded and also said: 'His knife is a bit special; I've never seen any expert use a knife for peeling pineapples.'"

"The Huang Kui leader seemed very impatient to deal with these small things, only saying to Ban Tuo: 'This person is a talent; invite him back to be a Cannon Head.'"

"The Cannon Head in the back heard this and trembled all over, his bare upper body sweating even more."

"As soon as the Huang Kui leader left, Ban Tuo said to the accountant of the gang: 'That beggar usually stays in the corner of the wall of the ruined temple; all the beggars know him, his name is Chen Pi. You buy three boxes of gifts, a piece of good winter clothing, one thousand wen, and say it's to thank him for his craftsmanship yesterday, make up his number, and invite him to discuss a big business.'"

"The accountant had to follow Ban Tuo's instructions. After Ban Tuo left, the accountant turned his head and actually found a beggar following him."

"The accountant immediately shouted at him: 'Beggar, come here, come here!'"

"Chen Pi looked left and right; he was the only one on the river embankment, so he walked over."

"The accountant asked him directly: 'You live in the ruined temple in the city, right?'"

"Chen Pi was a bit confused, not knowing what this person wanted to do, and nodded subconsciously."

"The accountant immediately took out a handful of copper coins and threw them to Chen Pi, saying in a hurry: 'Come, ten wen, come with me to carry things.'"

"Seeing that Chen Pi didn't move, the accountant clicked his tongue: 'What do you mean? This is much more than doing manual labor at the pier.'"

"He said as he slapped the money into Chen Pi's hand, and added: 'What an attitude, you deserve to beg for a lifetime! Go, what are you dazed for?'"

"Chen Pi suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. Since he took Chun Shen's job, he no longer considered himself a manual laborer. Now, being told this, his face actually flushed."

The listeners heard this and suddenly found some fun in this impending bleakness and bloodiness.

Chen Pi, at this moment, you can discover that he is actually still a young man.

His worldview was formed during the time of survival, bloody and cruel to the point of being cold-blooded and perverted.

But a young man will still feel embarrassed and ashamed because of the change in identity.

Only at this moment did the listeners feel that Chen Pi A-si was vivid.

He wasn't born knowing how to kill, nor was he born cold-blooded.

At least when he was young, he still knew how to be shy and ashamed!

"Chen Pi was a bit ashamed, feeling that his identity was different."

"But he still picked up the load and followed behind the accountant."

"There was no other reason; it was just that this person gave too much!"

"Chen Pi used to be a manual laborer at the pier, looking dull, and almost no employer was willing to use him."

"He could only earn ten wen a day; now, he could earn ten wen at once, why not take it?"

"Along the way, the accountant bought three boxes of clothes, pastries, and bedding, all for Chen Pi to carry. Chen Pi kept looking around, calculating in his heart where to find Huang Kui."

"It definitely wouldn't work like yesterday. When the Yangtze River water locusts come ashore, there are several embankments and piers; he has to find them one by one!"

"Not long after, the two arrived at the ruined temple."

"At this time, piles of beggars were gathered at the foot of the wall outside the temple."

"Chen Pi put down the things and saw the accountant looking around at the beggars, asking Chen Pi: 'Hey, help me find out, which one of them is Chen Pi?'"

"Chen Pi was stunned for a moment, looked at the accountant, and asked him: 'What are you looking for Chen Pi for?'"

"Who knew the accountant would be directly annoyed, scolding him: 'None of your business! Which one is it? Tell me quickly!'"

"Chen Pi then began to carefully look at this accountant—short and fat, very inconspicuous. He had never seen him before. What was this person looking for him for?"

"Buying so many things, could it be a marriage proposal?"

"The accountant looked at Chen Pi, and Chen Pi also looked at the accountant. The accountant finally discovered that he had absolutely no intention of pointing anyone out!"

"The accountant was immediately impatient and said to Chen Pi: 'Fine, you're useless, get lost!'"

"After speaking, he went to the beggars himself and asked in a low voice: 'Everyone, let me ask you something, is there a person named Chen Pi here?'"

"At this moment, all the beggars raised their heads, looked at the accountant, and pointed at Chen Pi standing behind him."

"The accountant turned his head back. Chen Pi ignored him and walked silently toward his corner. He walked in a straight line, and the beggars in front of him scattered one after another, none of them daring to look Chen Pi in the eye."

"And the accountant opened his mouth wide, standing there dazed and motionless."

"At this moment, he only had one thought in his heart: He just let this master carry his load for the whole way?!"
