Chapter 4: The Dead Farmer

"Teacher James?" In the crypt, Li Qi's voice became farther and farther away.

James gritted his teeth and jumped down from the crypt. A guy who was seriously injured and dying was not afraid. Why should he be afraid? Maybe there is really some kind of treasure inside! Moreover, this mysterious crypt is also very suitable for Baron Liqi's burial bone site!

It was pitch black in front, and the light pouring in from the entrance of the cave was so weak that it was invisible. James could only smear and move forward, and footsteps appeared in front after walking for a while.

The other party stopped in front of James.

"Sir?" James asked, clenching his fists to punch the other person hard.

Whoosh!

But the master of the footsteps was more decisive. A sickle slashed down in the darkness and slashed heavily on James' shoulder, but the rough sickle was stuck by James' shoulder muscles instead of cutting off his arm.

James widened his eyes in pain and howled angrily: "You are looking for death!"

He quickly reached out his hand to grab the other person's wrist. The other person's wrist was cold, but James had no time to think. He didn't even think about why he couldn't hear the breath in the quiet crypt.

He twisted and twisted the other party's wrist and grabbed the other party's neck with his other hand. After pulling it in, he saw that it was not Li Qi who attacked him, but a farmer.

"It's you!" He remembered that the farmer in front of him was one of the four who followed them into the mysterious tomb yesterday.

"You defected to him? Haha, stupid farmer!"

James twisted the farmer's neck, threw the body to the ground, pulled out the sickle stuck on his shoulder and grabbed it in his hand, and continued to walk forward.

Just after walking two steps, his right foot was wrapped around his hands. James looked down with a glimmer of light at the hole. The farmer holding his right foot was actually a broken neck.

Another sound of footsteps came in front of him.

The three farmers rushed towards him with hoes, axes and other farm tools. James immediately waved the sickle in his hand. Even if the big sword was not around, he could still use powerful sword skills as a "wolf killer". It would not be a problem to fight against three in this narrow crypt.

What's more, three farmers are much easier than killing a fierce dog.

The sickle quickly slashed through the neck of the three people, and the blade snaked the throat.

"Hmph" James disdained and continued to move forward.

But the three farmers' next actions made him unbelievable. They did not fall down but continued to wave the farm tools in their hands, smashing them with a hoe on James' head, making him dizzy. Another axe was next to the position where the sickle was slashed before, and chopped it hard on his collarbone. The bones wailed, the blood vessels were cut off, and blood suddenly burst out!

"ah!!"

James burst out. He pulled out the axe stuck in his collarbone and cut the three farmers in front of him into pieces. Then he covered his neck with his hands, but he could not hold down the blood flowing out. The power inside his body was pulled away.

He didn't understand why the timid farmer attacked him desperately, and why he was cut through his throat and never died.

Finally, James lost his strength and fell down with heavy eyelids.

"Teacher James, why?" Li Qi's voice came from the depths of the darkness, and he did not show up from beginning to end.

"Why?"

Blood spilled out of James' mouth: "Because..., I want to be a knight, but my father thought I was not worthy."

His vision began to blur, and a fire finally appeared in front of him.

Li Qi stood in the distance with a torch in his hand, looking down at James as a nobleman as the previous baron of Porcupine: "Yes, you really don't deserve it if you betray your lord and honor."

Waited for a few minutes,

After James died, Li Qi walked over and bent down to pull the warm body, and walked slowly into the depths of the cave. The three farmers' bodies were destroyed. Although the remaining corpse could be repaired, it would waste a lot of gold. Unfortunately, what Baron Li Qi lacked the most was gold.

But he now has a "wolf killer" body.

"The wound at the clavicle is very deep, and a pit is knocked down by the skull..."

It is not difficult to recover a dead body. The difficulty is "completeness". The incomplete part must be filled with gold. Li Qi has begun to think about poisoning or assassinating when killing the enemy in the future. He must pay attention to keeping the body intact, otherwise it will be too wasteful.

After moving James' body into the coffin and putting gold for refining, he quickly left the underground cave.

It was already dawn outside, and the news that he woke up must have been known by the stepmother at this time, so she had to go out to deal with her to show respect.

...

“Where is the pitchfork?”

Liqi walked out of the room and did not allow anyone to enter his room. He was the baron of the Porcupine, and what he said here was the orders that others must obey. Disobeying the lord's orders would be regarded as rebellion, whipping at the light, and hanging at the worst.

As for the injuries on his body, Li Qi just fooled him, and his servant's pitchfork was not just a reason to fool him.

“He collects pig eye grass for you to go to the farmer of the porcupine, my lord.

Pitchfork is your most faithful servant. He tossed and turned and his eyes were swollen when you were unconscious. If he knew that you would wake up, he would be ecstatic."

The man who is full of civilized words and wishes to fold the idioms into sentences is Li Qi's housekeeper, "Rabbit" Saimen.

He has brown hair and a long forehead, which is the so-called "full heaven". In addition to his deliberately cheering up his spirits but still loose eyelids, the most memorable thing is his people. It is said that he had ragged lip when he was born. Fortunately, his father found a scholar for surgery for him at that time. Although the ragged lip was cured, his people were deeper than many.

Li Qi recalled the other party's work and character in his mind. It has to be said that Saimen is very qualified in being a butler and can manage the inside of the castle in an orderly manner. As for whether he participated in the murder of the Baron, there is no need to worry. Even if Porcupine Castle is replaced with a hundred Barons Saimen, he is still a butler. Saimen, who has no heroic achievements and no noble blood, can only be a butler for the rest of his life.

Betrayal requires enough benefits, and Li Qi's stepmother cannot give anyone else any benefits. Except for the teacher James whose brain is crushed by the butt of a wolf, no one will believe how much benefits a knight daughter can give.

However, the butler Saimen must have guessed what happened after Li Qi returned from a serious injury and dying relationship. However, he still wanted to become a butler, so he chose to pretend to be stupid. Li Qi now has no helpers, so he also needs to pretend to be stupid. However, disloyal people should be careful in the future.

"Eat breakfast, if I die soon, I hope I won't starve to death."

The housekeeper Saimen immediately said, "I will arrange the kitchen preparation immediately, my sir."
