MTL - I Have Unparalleled Comprehension-Chapter 26 Emotions are knives

  Chapter 26 Emotion is a knife

  Xu Bai stopped and looked around.

  The streets are full of people coming and going, all busy with their own affairs, no one pays attention to the situation here.

   After making sure that no one was there, he picked up the envelope on the ground and went back into the house.

   "In the early morning, someone handed me a love letter?" Xu Bai whispered, and opened the envelope.

  Inside the envelope was clean white paper, with the words Gou Crawled written all over it.

   As the saying goes, words are like people.

  Xu Bai felt uncomfortable the first time he saw this word.

   Ugly, very ugly.

   It's like a piece of stuff put together, if it weren't for the strokes written on it, I wouldn't be able to recognize the content.

  Is this post-modern style popular these days?

  Even if you don’t want people to recognize your handwriting, it shouldn’t be written so stupidly.

   Even affect appetite.

  In the early morning, Xu Bai's good mood of the day was gone.

   Fortunately, he has strong self-control, so he endured the pain and read the letter from beginning to end.

  In the first sentence at the beginning, there is an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

   "Your Excellency, you don't want your affairs to be known."

etc!

  Xu Bai suddenly raised his head.

  If it wasn't for being in the Great Chu Kingdom, he would even have thought that someone had traveled like him.

   Forget it, keep reading.

   "A dozen lives, your swordsmanship is really superb, in fact, someone is already watching you, but fortunately, I concealed it for you."

   Did you hide it?

  Xu Bai touched his chin, it seems that this person's purpose is not simple.

   "At midnight tonight, at the blacksmith shop."

  Here, the content of the letter is over.

  Xu Bai put the letter paper on the table and sighed.

   It's inexplicable, why did you come to threaten this set.

   This is like a robber kidnapping a hostage. After asking for a ransom, the ticket must be torn up.

   Only a fool would believe it.

   "I shouldn't have any flaws, except for using a knife." Xu Bai thought for a while, then tapped the table lightly with his hand: "By the way, there are still wounds."

   At this time, Xu Bai stroked it carefully, and finally found something abnormal.

  There is no absolutely perfect crime scene in this world, he finally thought of a loophole.

   Hidden weapon wounds.

   "Sure enough, I'm still inexperienced, so next time I'll be set on fire." Xu Bai said secretly.

  Easy to learn from, he thinks that next time he has a chance, he will directly burn it with fire.

   "This smithy has become greedy." Xu Bai read the letter again before burning it up.

   At that time, he gave back the money and told them not to speak out, but now he threatened him instead.

  The sunlight outside the window was very warm, but Xu Bai was holding the ghost knife, his heart was icy cold.

   After all, he came from a time of peace. For ordinary people, Xu Bai softened his heart once.

   "After this time, I can't be soft-hearted."

  In the dark room, his voice sounded, and his mentality was changing.

  …

   Into the night.

  Accompanied by the sound of the gong, Xu Bai opened the door of the room and walked into the dark street.

  He was still wearing ordinary clothes, with a ghost knife on his waist, walking on the street, looking at the deserted street, bypassing the winding road, and finally stopped in front of a shop.

  At this moment, the store has turned off the lights.

  Xu Bai raised his foot and kicked the door open.

  Inside the shop, it was dark.

  As the door was kicked open, the oil lamp inside was lit.

  The lights are weak and the light and shadow are mottled.

   "I knew it, Your Excellency will come." The proprietress and the blacksmith sat on the chairs and waited leisurely.

  Xu Bai walked into the room and sneered: "Since I know I can guess it, why take off your pants and fart and do that."

   "It's just asking for money." The proprietress laughed.

  Although she was smiling, there was sarcasm in her eyes.

   I have already invited you into the urn, and the person in front of me is still very calm.

   Pretend it?

   Maybe.

   But no matter what, the money has to be there.

   "I won't say anything superfluous. We only need money. Besides, don't even try to do anything. We still have someone. If something happens to us, he will report it to the authorities as soon as possible." The proprietress spread her hands and said.

  Threats, plus the fact that she said her backhand, the combination of the two, the proprietress believed that the other party would not be indifferent.

  After all, these days, although Shengxian County is meaty, the meat delivered to the mouth is still to be eaten.

  Xu Bai threw down an ingot of silver.

  The silver fell to the ground and spun around several times.

  The room fell silent.

  The proprietress's forehead was full of blue veins: "A piece of silver, are you begging for food? When you were forging iron beads, you were so generous that you didn't even blink your eyes."

   "Who would bring a lot of money with him?" Xu Bai held the handle of the ghost knife and said, "Will you?"

   "What do you mean?" Beside, the blacksmith asked in a low voice.

   "I have a hundred ingots of silver, but I buried them in a very secret place. If you don't give me time, how can I get them?" Xu Bai raised a finger.

  As soon as the words came out, the proprietress and the blacksmith looked at each other.

   "Okay, we'll give you another day."

   Soon, the proprietress spoke.

   Now that things have come to this point, she thinks that Xu Bai can't play tricks.

  First, when Xu Bai came in, she made it clear that there was another person cooperating with them. If Xu Bai did something, this matter would be exposed.

  Just this step alone can break Xu Bai's desire to kill people.

  Second, neither of them is vegetarian.

  If it wasn't for the wanted by the Yamen, he would even want to kill people and get more money.

  Of course, they will not do this now, because Xu Bai still has money hidden.

   "That's good. I'll bring the silver over in a day." Xu Bai nodded, turned around and prepared to leave.

   Throughout the whole process, he didn't say a harsh word, and he didn't even make a rebuttal.

  Things went smoothly and unexpectedly.

   "By the way, are you two from Jianghu?" Xu Bai suddenly turned his head and asked.

  The sudden question stunned the proprietress, and she nodded subconsciously.

   "That's good, people in the Jianghu have to be moral, and I will use money to eliminate disasters in this matter." Xu Bai said the last sentence, turned and left.

   As the night darkened, Xu Bai's figure disappeared into the night.

   After Xu Bai left, the blacksmith shop fell into silence again.

  The proprietress didn't speak, as if she was thinking about something.

  At this time, the blacksmith spoke first.

   "I was very uneasy. Before he left, the last look in his eyes made me feel like my hairs were standing on end."

  Thinking of that plain look in his eyes, the blacksmith felt terrified.

   "But he didn't show resentment, not even anger." The proprietress frowned.

"I remember a saying that emotions are like knives. They hurt others and themselves. Those who can hide their emotions are the ones who handle the knife." The blacksmith stood up and waved his hands vigorously: "In any case, after getting the money, you must kill Without him, as long as it is done cleanly, it will not attract people from the yamen."

   "Before that, follow closely." The proprietress added.

  The two reached an agreement and nodded in unison.

   "Even if he is an eighth-rank martial artist, you can restrain him, especially his hidden weapons." The proprietress lay on the blacksmith with a strong smile.

  By this time, Xu Bai had already returned home.
