Chapter 3 I Have a Widow Neighbor(?)(1/2)

"It's been a long time since I drank such clean water..."

Jiang Sheng licked the bottom of the bowl with his tongue, as if he wanted to drink up every last drop.

Xue Mu couldn't see Jiang Sheng's actions, but he only had a general outline.

Jiang Sheng looked at Xue Mu standing on the edge and saw that he seemed different from the other jailers.

He then said, "Do you know how many people I killed in total?"

"I don't want to know." Xue Mu explained.

"Why? Don't you want to know the whereabouts of my stolen money? Don't you want to know?" Jiang Sheng sat up with difficulty, and the wounds all over his body made him feel pain every time he moved.

Xue Mu said calmly: "How many people you have killed and how much stolen money you have are meaningless to me."

However, Jiang Sheng ignored him and said to himself: "I killed five landlords. They were so bullying. Everyone is created equal. Why should farmers have to work for them for generations?"

When he was agitated, his wounds seemed to burst and his expression became even more ugly.

Perhaps it was because Xue Mu was unmoved.

Instead, Jiang Shenggao looked at him for a while, and then took another look at his blind appearance: "Looking at you like this, you have been bullied a lot in the prison, right?..."

Xue Mu didn't speak, but silently gained experience points.

He knew that according to Jiang Sheng's character, lynching or persuading him with sincere words might not have much effect.

It is better to remain silent and check the gain of experience points.

But Jiang Sheng said at this moment: "Did they ask you to interrogate me and ask me to reveal the whereabouts of the stolen money?"

"Yeah." Xue Mu finally spoke: "But I know you won't say it, so I won't waste my time."

Jiang Sheng looked at him, hesitated, and finally said: "I'll tell you where to put the money I stole. You can come over."

When Xue Mu heard this, he was a little hesitant.

What if he gets close enough and he kills himself?

However, he is now at the first level of the Pulse Opening Realm, and Jiang Sheng has been seriously injured. Even if he attacks by surprise, Xue Mu is sure to avoid it.

But he still said: "I don't want to know."

"Why?"

"You were tortured by them for four days and refused to tell me. Why are you telling me now?"

After Jiang Sheng heard this, he smiled bitterly: "The reason why I didn't tell them was because they were too arrogant. I would rather die than surrender."

"Perhaps it's because you are blind and kind-hearted, and you will give me a bowl of water to drink. After I tell you about the gold, silver and jewelry, you can keep it for yourself or use it in exchange for an official position. It doesn't matter. I am also a capital offender anyway.

." He then looked into Xue Mu's eyes and said.

After hearing this, Xue Mu thought for two seconds, then squatted down and slowly groped towards his position.

But he is always vigilant, and if there is any sign of trouble, he will immediately wave his fist.

In this environment, Xue Mu would not trust anyone.

He can only trust himself.

He also knew that Jiang Sheng was seriously injured now, and even if he was at the fourth level of pulse opening, he might not be his opponent.

【As long as you pay attention to his movements, it should be fine.】

When Jiang Sheng saw Xue Mu coming over, a happy smile appeared on his face.

When he came over, Jiang Sheng explained: "I hid the gold and silver jewelry behind the statue in the City God's Temple."

Xue Mu listened, then nodded: "I understand."

Jiang Sheng then gasped and said: "I am alone and have no worries in this world, but if you can, I hope you will go to Jiangjia Village in the future and help me take care of an old man in a thatched hut on the east side of the village. When I was a child,

She was the one who took me in and took care of me. Now it would be considered unfilial to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person."

"Okay." Xue Mu agreed.

Then, he walked out of the cell.

After waiting for a while, he came to the Chenghuang Temple alone.

Open the floor tile behind the temple statue and open the baggage hidden inside.

Not long after, he found a lot of money.

Judging from the texture, most of them are gold.

If he could take all these back, Xue Mu might be able to rest easy in his life.

But he didn't do that.

Once they are all taken back, Song Wu will not be able to make any difference.

Then you won't be able to stay in prison. Having money but no strength is not a safe thing after all.

As long as the strength increases, so-called money, power, women, everything is no longer a problem.

When he thought of women, Xue Mu realized a problem.

He is blind and seems to have never seen women in this world.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later. When the time comes, I will ask for a wife when I have money. As long as the hand feels good, turning off the lights and going blind will have the same effect."

Xue Mu fumbled around, took two pieces of gold and put them in his pocket.

Put the baggage away again and put the floor tiles back in place.

As long as he is sure that there is money here, he can rest assured.

Of course, Xue Mu did not intend to tell Song Wu about this.

night.

Xue Mu returned home.

He was leaning on crutches and was about to open the door when a voice came from somewhere next to him.

"Oh, brother is back?"

Xue Mu's ears were very sensitive, and he immediately recognized the location of the owner of the voice.

He nodded slightly and asked, "Who are you?"

"Xiao Mu, you went on an errand for a few days and then forgot about me?!"

This female voice contained some complaints, but there was a bit more coquettishness in the tone.

Xue Mu looked through the memories in his mind and seemed to think of his neighbors.

That's a widow.

Leng Mei.

Although he couldn't see it, he could roughly imagine the appearance of the woman in front of him by smelling the faint body fragrance and combined with the general outline.

A picture of a slender and graceful figure, and soft jade arms as soft as lotus roots.

Of course, Xue Mu couldn't see any more specific details about her.

Leng Mei moved here half a year ago and sells tofu at the street corner.

Because of her good-looking appearance, she was also called "Tofu Xishi" by the people in this street.

Xue Mu didn't hear much about Leng Mei.

It seems that it is said that her parents arranged a marriage for her, but Leng Mei vowed to refuse.

On the wedding day, the groom accidentally fell to his death.

Her husband's family felt that Leng Mei was a swindler, so they kicked her out.

Despite this, Leng Mei felt a lot more relaxed.

Now she works alone at sunrise and rests at sundown, grinding tofu every day and enjoying her life alone.

Don't pay attention to other people's gossip.

Recalling this, Xue Mu slightly cupped his hands and said, "Sister Leng."

"Hey, don't call me sister, I'm not much older than you." Leng Mei looked at Xue Mu's appearance. He looked quite handsome, and she felt a little more happy in her heart.

"Sorry, Miss Leng."

After hearing this, Leng Mei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but when she saw that he looked like a wooden fish, she felt a little cute, so she said, "Let's call her sister, calling Miss Leng is too unfamiliar."

Xue Mu asked politely: "Sister Leng...are you okay?"

"When your father was alive, he gave me a letter, saying that in case he passed away one day, he would give this letter to you to read." After saying that, Leng Mei took out a letter and handed it to him.

Xue Mu.

Just as Xue Mu was about to take the letter, Leng Mei suddenly remembered something, and then cautiously probed: "Then...shall I read it to you?"

"Then there's Sister Lao Leng." Xue Mu thanked her.
