Chapter 4: Feng Suzhen

In the dim forest, the sun was setting.

Beside the campfire, the horse was lowering its head to eat grass.

Waking up drowsily, Feng Suzhen was looking around in a daze.

But just then, she saw two men roasting a fire beside her.

"Ah!"

After screaming, Feng Suzhen scrambled up in a panic and ran forward.

But just when Feng Suzhen was shouting, Situ Yaozu said curiously: "Cousin, she's screaming again!"

"Don't mind her, young people are like this, they always like to use their volume to express their emotions!"

Holding a cigarette between his fingers, Zhang Cheng slowly exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.

Watching Zhang Cheng's actions, Situ Yaozu couldn't help but say: "Cousin, what is this thing? It feels very powerful!"

"This is a 'cigarette', it can eliminate fatigue!"

Taking out a cigarette case, Zhang Cheng handed it to Situ Yaozu beside him.

Learning Zhang Cheng's actions, Situ Yaozu started smoking.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

After coughing continuously, Situ Yaozu couldn't help but say: "Cousin, this is so choking!"

"If you can't learn it, don't learn it, what a waste!"

Looking at Situ Yaozu, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but feel a bit pained.

You know, even though he has a "temporary exchange system," the prices inside are too expensive.

Just buying peanuts and melon seeds last night cost him a full three hundred coins, not to mention the cigarettes, which was a full five hundred coins a pack!

If you look at it in terms of future money, that's five hundred yuan a pack!

"Hey, cousin, don't say that, once you get used to this thing, it's actually quite good!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng excitedly, Situ Yaozu couldn't help but laugh.

And looking at Situ Yaozu before him, Zhang Cheng knew he was a bit high!

Before long, Feng Suzhen, who had been screaming loudly, ran back.

Looking at the two people with smoke coming out of their mouths and nostrils, Feng Suzhen immediately pulled out her long sword in fear: "Are you two human or ghosts!"

"Hey, hey, hey, that sword is mine!"

Pointing at Feng Suzhen, Situ Yaozu shouted hurriedly.

"Speak, you two strongmen, what exactly do you want to do to me?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng and Situ Yaozu with an angry face, Feng Suzhen couldn't help but roar.

Because after she ran out just now, she realized she seemed to be lost, and then had to search for the firelight to return!

Looking at each other, Situ Yaozu and Zhang Cheng fell silent.

"Don't even think about messing with me, I have already pledged my life to Li Lang, even if you want to, you can't..."

Holding the sword against Zhang Cheng and Situ Yaozu, Feng Suzhen roared immediately.

But looking at Feng Suzhen before him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but cover his face and say: "I say, Miss Feng, can you calm down? We were killing bandits on the side of the road, and you were the one who rode over on a horse, shouting and screaming, and fell off, smashing yourself unconscious. We painstakingly carried you over, and you could at least say thank you!"

"Is... is that so?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in confusion, an embarrassed expression immediately appeared on Feng Suzhen's face.

But just then, Feng Suzhen hurriedly said: "Wait, what kind of people are you, how would you know my identity!"

Looking at Feng Suzhen again, Zhang Cheng and Situ Yaozu said awkwardly: "When you were arguing with your mother last night, we just happened to be squatting on the wall..."

Suddenly hearing this, Feng Suzhen was stunned in place: "You were actually eavesdropping at the Feng family last night!"

"Pah, pah, pah, what eavesdropping, we just happened to pass by!"

Looking at Feng Suzhen seriously, Zhang Cheng hurriedly looked at Situ Yaozu beside him, as if to say, this kind of thing must never be admitted even if beaten to death.

"That's right, my cousin is right, we just happened to pass by! We definitely didn't want to rob the bank!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng firmly, Situ Yaozu couldn't help but become solemn.

"What? You were still planning to rob the bank last night!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng and Situ Yaozu in astonishment, Feng Suzhen was completely dumbfounded.

Because she didn't expect that just after leaving the Feng family, she would encounter two "murderous" strongmen!

Thinking of this, a fearful expression appeared on Feng Suzhen's face: "You, you can give up, even if I commit suicide, I will absolutely not give my body to you..."

After saying this, Feng Suzhen pulled out her sword and was about to act.

Looking at this scene in shock, Situ Yaozu said in astonishment: "Cousin, she seems even more agitated!"

"Cousin, please shut up!"

Looking at Situ Yaozu in annoyance, Zhang Cheng didn't want to talk anymore.

Because this misunderstanding was getting bigger and bigger!

But just when Feng Suzhen intended to commit suicide, Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "Cousin, I heard that committing suicide is quite painful, and you can't die for a while, is that true or false!"

"Hmm? That's true, because after committing suicide, breathing becomes very difficult, and you'll get dizzy. People are suffocated to death! It looks really ugly!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Situ Yaozu's eyes shone with a smile.

"Miss Feng, if you're not in a hurry, take a deep breath first, and then commit suicide..."

Explaining to Feng Suzhen, Zhang Cheng skillfully took out melon seeds and peanuts.

Watching Zhang Cheng's actions, Situ Yaozu also said very seriously: "Cousin, I haven't seen anyone commit suicide before!"

"Me neither!"

Looking at Situ Yaozu, Zhang Cheng also stretched out his hand very seriously: "Miss Feng, if you don't mind, please start your performance!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng and Situ Yaozu hesitantly, an angry expression appeared on Feng Suzhen's face: "Since you were at the Feng family last night, why didn't you stand up and explain for Li Lang!"

"You're wearing night-traveling clothes, planning to rob a bank, but halfway through you're squatting on someone's wall watching a play. May I ask how you would explain the night-traveling clothes on your body?"

Looking at Feng Suzhen with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng returned the question to her.

Looking at Zhang Cheng silently, Feng Suzhen blinked, unable to say a word.

Because Zhang Cheng was right; two people wearing night-traveling clothes and squatting on a wall, let alone explaining, would be treated as "flower-picking thieves" the moment they appeared!

"Alright, stop messing around, sit down, are you hungry, do you want to eat something!"

Looking at Feng Suzhen with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng became amiable.

Looking at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, Situ Yaozu always felt something was wrong, because his cousin didn't seem like a "good person"!

A few minutes later, the portable kettle was boiled. When Zhang Cheng took out the instant noodles, he immediately helped the three of them tear them open.

Smelling the instant noodles soaked in boiling water, Situ Yaozu and Feng Suzhen couldn't help but sniff their noses: "So fragrant!"

"Cousin, what is this? I have never seen such a thing!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng curiously, Situ Yaozu exclaimed.

"Instant noodles!"

Explaining with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng handed it to Feng Suzhen before him: "Please, Miss Feng!"

"Tha... thank you!"

Taking the instant noodles shyly, Feng Suzhen didn't expect that she had treated the other party as a strongman, but they were still so gentle to her.

But just after Feng Suzhen finished eating the whole bucket of instant noodles, a satisfied expression appeared on her face.

Looking at her, Zhang Cheng's smile became even more terrifying, like Tom the cat.

"Miss Feng, that will be ten taels, thank you!"

Stretching out his hand, Zhang Cheng looked at Feng Suzhen with a face full of smiles.

"Ten... ten taels!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, Feng Suzhen was almost dumbfounded.

Because she never thought that this guy could clearly rob her, but he still gave her a bucket of instant noodles!

"That's right, twenty taels, because this is a priceless treasure!"

Looking at Feng Suzhen seriously, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Because Feng Suzhen was able to take out one hundred taels for Li Zhaoting last night, she must have quite a bit of private money!

Although the bank couldn't be robbed for the time being, he didn't plan to let go of the little white sheep before him!

Situ Yaozu: High, cousin!
