No Love

The moment a hint of paleness appeared in the eastern sky, Scar Red let out a long sigh of relief.

Another day passes.

This day is destined not to be spent in peace.

As soon as the sky was getting light, villagers started to come to the road leading to the inn one after another.

Empty the chamber pot.

When it was bright, a group of villagers gathered in front of the inn, pointing and saying all kinds of nasty things.

After breakfast, the patriarch came again with his men.

This time they also brought a child, whose eyes were swollen from crying.

"Auntie Hong, my only relative is gone too."

The child cried and said,

"I know it's wrong for us to do this, but they are outsiders. How can they compare with us? They are just guests passing by. You just need to stop them from staying in the inn. You don't have to kill them."

Although the child said so, everyone in Taiping Village understood that not allowing them to stay at the inn was equivalent to letting them die.

Although this time the guest may not die.

That’s what the people in Taiping Village think.

Sitting in the inn every day was also to force Scar Red to do this.

The proprietress sneered and said, "Stop talking. I won't agree to it."

Scarhong touched the scar on his forehead and his thoughts instantly went back to the past.

Three hundred years ago,

It was a golden autumn with bright sunshine.

She was still a little girl of seven or eight years old.

As far as she could remember, she had never seen her parents, and she didn't even know what family was.

She grew up eating food from many families.

She thought that these people in Taiping Village were her relatives.

It was not until that night that she realized that she was just a fertilizer they raised - fertilizer used to feed the demon when it had no food to enjoy.

That day, the then patriarch sent him the best food.

The clan leader's wife personally changed her into beautiful clothes.

He kept calling me "good boy", "darling", and "my darling".

Gave her her first glass of wine in her life!

That thing is spicy and not delicious at all.

I still remember vividly how I choked and cried after taking one sip of the drink.

Even those people who usually seemed unlucky to me seemed very friendly to me that day.

Under the "concerned" gaze of the clan leader's wife, she endured the pain in her burning throat and drank the wine.

While drunk, he saw the clan leader's wife and breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, she got drunk.

She didn't know how the former proprietress - her master - snatched her life back from the mouth of the demon that night.

All I know is that from that day on, a scar was left on her forehead.

Her master locked himself in the room for nine days and nine nights.

She knelt in front of the inn for three days and three nights until she fainted from exhaustion...

After waking up, I heard the clan leader's wife yelling and cursing in front of the inn.

The usually amiable woman, with her hair disheveled, turned into the most aggressive shrew in the village.

She was dizzy and couldn't hear clearly what was said, but she remembered one thing:

Take her life in exchange for the demon's slumber.

Although, that sleep only lasted a short one hundred days.

The clan leader's wife scolded her master all day and left in the evening.

That night, she didn't want to stay in the inn. She wanted to go out for a walk.

She knew that Taiping Village was not peaceful, and she also knew that she could not go out at night.

But she couldn't help it.

She wanted to know why.

After nightfall, she quietly walked to the door and opened it a crack, a crack that was big enough for her thin body.

As soon as I took a step, a huge suction force came from behind.

She flew upside down and landed in front of her master's door.

From behind the door came the weak voice of the master.

"Kid, if you want to know the truth, just climb onto the roof."

She was naive at the time and really thought she could climb onto the roof.

Later she found out that it was her master who separated a bit of his spiritual power to help her go up.

She saw the most respected patriarch, holding a child wearing new clothes in his arms, walking from the village to the small bridge at the entrance of the village, and then throwing the child into the river without hesitation.

After that day, I never saw my playmate who had also lost his parents again.

Scar Red collected his thoughts and looked coldly at this so-called child.

He looked upstairs again and saw the generous little leopard. He should be the person that the master was waiting for.

But the master is gone. She died on the night of the battle with the demon.

No one in the village came to the rescue.

Today, she won’t save them either!

Even if we meet with swords!

"I'm sorry, I didn't think of changing the rules for you." The lady boss came over and whispered in the chief's ear,

"Don't make me tell you your secrets."

The patriarch stood up, but did not dare to scold her.

He looked at Scar Red and smiled, his eyes filled with poison and coldness. He also lowered his voice.

"Scarred, if you don't agree, don't blame us for digging up your master's grave! You know exactly what kind of person I am. I will keep my word."

"you!"

The proprietress looked at him with a sneer, believing what he said too much.

Master protects Taiping Village while he is alive, and he will be used by them even after he dies!

Is it necessary to protect such a Taiping Village?

But she couldn't let her master die and not rest in peace.

"Let me think."

The proprietress took a step back.

The clan leader pressed on, "You must give me an answer tonight."

The proprietress resisted the urge to kill him, and answered with her teeth clenched:

"I'll give you the answer tomorrow. Get out!"

The proprietress flew back to sit at the counter, her whole body shaking with anger.

The clan leader's goal was achieved. He didn't expect her to agree to him immediately. If she agreed, would she still be Scar Red?

The waiter immediately picked up the broom and angrily chased the man away.

"Go, go quickly. You are not welcome here."

"Everyone get out!"

"Get out of here!"

Driven away by brooms, everyone fled the inn in a panic.

They didn't believe that Scar Red would drive away customers.

They wanted to sacrifice her with them.

All the actions these days were just to make her tired.

This is what he thought and did. This is what they discussed with the clan leader these days.

A demon eats people, so it doesn't matter who it eats. When it is full, it will fall into a deep sleep. When it falls asleep, the villagers in the whole village can continue to live a peaceful life.

Moreover, Scar Red is a practitioner, and her flesh must contain more spiritual energy. Add to that the two little white deer… maybe, after this full meal, the charm demon will never wake up again.

……

After lunch, the proprietress knocked on Wang Yuqi's door.

She stood there with one foot inside the door and the other outside, looking at the little leopard leaning against the door frame in front of her. The sunlight shone on her, making her red dress even more vivid.

She just looked at Wang Yuqi quietly, her eyes were empty and her pupils were unfocused, but her gaze still glanced at the silhouette of Taiping Bridge reflected in the creek outside the window.

Wang Yuqi was still sitting in front of the window, looking towards the river, motionless.

She knew she wanted to tell a long story. It was a story of a person who had grown up alone and helpless, without any warmth in life, and then weighed the pros and cons of life and death, and was rescued by chance or someone's sudden kindness, and then experienced the blood and tears of growth in suffering.

There are countless stories like this in the proposals and strategies of my junior brother.

The most important thing is that the guy has the right to ask the military to choose an assistant for him - an assistant to help him deal with these bills as soon as possible.

Zi Chen thought he was too much trouble, but he couldn't offend the Emperor of God. He threw this unlucky job to me without even thinking about it.

The original words were: "Your promotion test score sheet is out. You will stay in the military. You were promoted successfully without any suspense. We are busy now and have no time to look after you. He is so idle that he pretends to be dead. If you don't go to him, how can he come back from the dead?"

"Also, don't tell me you don't know him. And don't negotiate with me. Just remember: his business is your mission. If he bothers the military for no reason, you've succeeded. Otherwise, you know. There's no joking in the military. Go find him right away."

"Did you try to find him yourself, or did you break his door and let him find you? Don't tell me either."

"I announced to the military: You are on leave."

"You are her junior sister, so you should have some privileges under his jurisdiction."

"Special reminder: Don't let others chase you back by your ears."

"Don't come back too early. I'm very busy and don't have time to look after you..."

.........

Thinking of Zi Chen’s ugliest face before leaving, Wang Yuqi smiled.

Smiling happily.

It has been a long time since I heard such scolding words.

He collected his thoughts, returned to the present, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When she saw the boss lady for the first time, she decided to give her the right to choose - life or death, fortune or misfortune, all depended on her choice.

Since I've left you the choice, you shouldn't bother me again.

You want to tell me a sad story to impress me.

But I'm not ready to listen to the story yet.

You took my money, but you don't want to do anything for me. You still pretend to be sincere and try to persuade me with reason and emotion.

How childish.

I don't want to cause any more trouble. I'm already in trouble. I can't have teammates who are in trouble.

Compared to the demon hiding at the bottom of the dark river, the proprietress is a good person. However, I don't want to help such a good person with a contrasting face.

Is the boss lady pitiful? Born in such a Taiping Village, she is not pitiful.

She lives by the rules of life here and is also bound by them.

The rules of nature are not something I can change.

Of course, he is just a stranger who I met by chance. He is not qualified for me to use his power to protect you.

There are so many poor people in this world, and it is impossible to help them no matter what.

There are many people with the surname Shen in the world. As for my little brother who has many ideas, who knows what kind of chess he has already played. Before I meet him, I will not put myself in this mess!

Don't be the one who takes advantage of the situation.

Wang Yuqi made up her mind to reject whatever she said.

The room was so quiet that the only sound was the wind blowing past.

After a long time,

The boss lady was the first to break the silence.

"Hi, little leopard, my name is Scar Red."

Wang Yuqi turned slightly, raised the corners of her lips, and replied calmly:

"I don't want to hear the story."

With just these cold words, the strong Scarred burst into tears, wuwuwuwu... crying like a child.

Her master also said this.

And she said it when she was most sad and helpless!

Wang Yuqi shook her head and continued, "People without friends have no right to cry."

Scarred cried even harder.

His body slumped down along the door frame, and his wailing voice soon reached Liu Xiaoqiao's room.

Liu Xiaoqiao, who didn't know the truth, hurried over and saw the scene in front of me.

Is this still the same fierce boss lady?

He's crying so miserably, it must be... No, that little idiot wouldn't just bully others!

Liu Xiaoqiao walked past Scar Red and walked carefully to the window. She gently held the head of the little idiot who was looking at the scenery and turned it over. Then, she whispered:

"It's not good to lie. What's wrong with her?"

Wang Yuqi looked at her innocently and said seriously, "I don't know."

Liu Xiaoqiao moved her face closer to her, face to face, eye to eye. If she got any closer, their noses would touch.

Wang Yuqi still looked at her with innocent eyes.

吸，

call,

Scar Red finally stopped crying, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled. Then, he sat on the doorstep and slowly said:

“She really doesn’t know.”

Her voice was hoarse from crying. She rubbed her nose and smiled, with tears in her eyes.

This look is heartbreaking.

Liu Xiaoqiao: "..." She said it. I believed it. I just wanted her to ask you the reason. I didn't mean anything else.

Wang Yuqi: "..." I already said I don't know. If she wants to cry, then let her cry. What's the big deal? She doesn't need a reason to cry.

Scarhong wiped away one tear, and another tear fell uncontrollably.

If you can’t wipe it all, then don’t wipe it.

Liu Xiaoqiao felt distressed when she saw her like this. She let go of the little fool's head, put one hand on her shoulder, and subconsciously protected her head with the other hand, and said awkwardly:

"Madam boss, you can continue and just treat us as air."

"Hehehe, little hoof, you are the one who will teach me."

Scar Red instantly broke into a fake smile, tears in his eyes, a smile on his face, and his loud voice returned.

"When I was in charge of the inn, you were still thinking about reincarnating as a boy or a girl!"

"I want to leave here."

"Take you with me."

"Leaving tonight"

"Because I promised them that I would give them an answer tomorrow night."

Scar Red finished speaking in one breath, tilted his head to look at the two people with strange shapes, grinned, revealing two beautiful dimples, and joked:

"You two, what are you doing?"

Liu Xiaoqiao hurriedly stood up, withdrew her hand, and took a step back in panic. She staggered and Wang Yuqi reached out, held her fingertips, and gently pulled. Only then did Liu Xiaoqiao stand steadily.

After she stood firmly on her feet, she did not forget to give her a rewarding smile.

She loosened her hand and looked at the proprietress as if nothing had happened.

Slowly speaking,

"Will you settle accounts with them before you leave?"

"The first is the account of your master's life and death, the second is the account of your own humiliation, and the third is the account of the wrongful deaths of those innocent people. After these three accounts are settled, if you are still determined to leave, I will take you away."

"Have you made up your mind? Come to me when you have."

"Now, please go out. I want to rest."

The proprietress was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wang Yuqi with disbelief: Is this it?

Without me saying a bunch of nonsense, why don’t you tell me a heart-wrenching and tragic story?

How did she know my past? I remember I never told her.

X-ray eyes?

Clairvoyance?

still is……

Just as Scar Red was guessing, Wang Yuqi pointed outside the window.

Scarred jumped up and leaned on the windowsill. He looked left and right in the direction of Wang Yuqi's finger. Apart from the low thatched houses in the village, there was the three-story wooden building of the patriarch. Thick curtains were hung on the wooden building all year round.

I heard from the elders that only the clan leaders of all generations were qualified to go in and clean.

Oh.

I see.

Scar Red smiled, but before he could say anything, Liu Xiaoqiao retorted:

"Big sister, I'm not asking you to enjoy the scenery. Shouldn't you go to the clan leader's house and do something? Are you stupid? So many villagers were eaten by the demon. How come the clan leader is fine?"

"His meat is not tasty. He is still better: more powerful than others!"

"Maybe all this is the clan leader's conspiracy!"

"are you going?"

Liu Xiaoqiao was very proud that she had read enough online novels, otherwise she would not have such strange ideas.

No matter whether he is true or false, just fool him.

If it's true, it would be such an honor!

Scar Red was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a long time. Finally, he stamped his feet and flew away, leaving a voice floating in the air:

"Wait for my news."

"It's amazing how you can fly!"

Liu Xiaoqiao looked at her disappearing figure and muttered something while leaning against the window.

Suddenly he remembered something and looked at the little fool in horror.

"Did I get into trouble? Of course I was the one who spoke too much... Trouble comes from the mouth, so why bother talking so much!"

Wang Yuqi yawned, stood up and walked to the bed, lay down on her side, and said lightly:

"I'll take a nap. She said: wait for her news."

Liu Xiaoqiao suddenly turned around, trotted to the bedside, and looked at Wang Yuqi with sparkling eyes.

"Little idiot, can you give me a spoiler? ... Just calculate the result in advance."

Wang Yuqi slowly closed her eyelids and said lazily, "I don't know." She didn't want to know either.

……
