"You, who are you?"

The gangster sat on Wantao, holding the dagger stuck in her chest with one hand, and pointed at her lying on the ground in shock with the other hand, questioning her identity.

Wan Tao stared into his eyes and laughed at his panic, grinning and sneering: "I've made it so clear, don't you remember it? Did someone else throw boiling water on you?"

The gangster Xiao Lao Da suddenly widened his eyes, subconsciously glanced at the layers of scars on his right hand, and his thoughts went back to a few months ago. At that time, Xiao Lao Da gathered a dozen people to set up a stockade, occupied several roads and did murder, robbery and looting. As he did more and more such things, he became more and more daring, and became more and more lawless, which gradually attracted the attention of the court and handed the matter over to King Qi of Beiqi for handling.

Originally, they were just bandits and nothing to be feared. King Qi used a little trick to wipe out this mob. Otherwise, Boss Xiao might have been lucky enough to escape from the village one day, but he was also put on the wanted list. King Qi had to arrest him and bring him to justice.

After hiding in the mountains for half a month and seeing that no one had found him, he gradually grew bolder and chose a spring day to go down the mountain to drink some wine and relax, and to buy some weapons and hidden weapons. He was very cautious at first, but after a few drinks, he grew bolder, and walked out of the city openly with a bottle of wine in one hand and the medicine powder hidden in his waist, humming a little tune as he walked back along the path.

He felt hot while walking on the ridge, so he thought of sitting down to rest for a while. As soon as he sat down, a cold sword was placed on his neck. The bone-chilling coldness spread from his neck to his whole body, making him sober instantly. He raised his head and squinted his eyes to see the appearance of the person coming, but he couldn't see anything clearly because the person was against the light. However, he could feel his imposing manner, and immediately determined that this person was not the same as him.

"My dear hero, we don't know each other before. Why do we have to do this on our first meeting?" He begged Rao to carefully move the sword from his neck. However, just as he moved it away a little, the young hero came an inch closer and the sharp sword left a thin mark on his neck.

"Could it be that he is sent by the government to arrest me?" Boss Xiao looked him up and down and saw that there were some traces of dried mud on the bottom of his clothes. Although his shoes also had signs of wear and tear, the fabrics looked very valuable and definitely could not be something that the government soldiers could afford.

"We're strangers?" the young man asked, then he took out a prepared rope from his pocket, clamped him with one hand, sheathed his sword and wanted to tie him up with the rope.

"Young man, what are you doing? You've got the wrong person. I'm just an ordinary farmer." Boss Xiao denied his identity but was thinking about how to get out of this situation.

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. He saw that the young man had only tied him up with ropes, so he thought someone had ordered him to be captured alive. At least his life was not in danger for the time being. Then he pretended to be scared, his legs trembled involuntarily, and he couldn't stand steadily and fell to the ground, taking the opportunity to lie on the ground.

"Ouch, ouch, my legs can't walk anymore." Boss Xiao pretended to groan in pain, secretly took out the medicine powder he had just purchased from the market from his pocket, tore open the bag and grabbed it in his hand. When the young man bent down and tried to pull his arms under him and tie them up behind his back, Boss Xiao turned around and used all his strength to sprinkle the medicine powder in his hand towards the young man's face.

The young man was very nimble and quick in reaction. He dodged immediately after realizing something was wrong. Although he immediately closed his eyes and drew out his sword, his eyelashes were still stained with a lot of powder. Boss Xiao knew that he was no match for him, so he took the opportunity to run away.

The fields in early spring had not yet been planted with crops, so they could not provide any shelter. Seeing that the young man was about to catch up, Xiao Lao Da knew that he was no match for him in a head-on confrontation, and he looked around in panic, looking for a place to hide. In a trance, he saw a forest not far ahead, but in his eagerness to escape, he did not see the wisps of smoke floating above the forest. In order to get rid of him, Xiao Lao Da suddenly changed direction and hid, trembling as he grabbed all the remaining medicine powder in his pocket.

The forest was quiet. Boss Xiao held his breath and listened attentively to the faint sound of footsteps. He was so alert that sweat oozed from his forehead, waiting for the young man to pass by and give him a fatal blow. As he expected, the young man's vision was limited by the influence of the powder, and he was not prepared for the moment, so Boss Xiao took advantage of the opportunity and covered his face and eyes with the powder in his hand. He was in unbearable pain.

Although the young man couldn't open his eyes because of the piercing pain, when the successful Boss Xiao pulled out the dagger from his body and searched the young man's body proudly, he still relied on his hearing to fight with Boss Xiao.

Under normal circumstances, Boss Xiao would naturally not be his opponent, but now he could hardly see any light with his eyes, and the pain also slowed down the speed of drawing his sword, so he was stuck in a stalemate by Boss Xiao's insidious tricks.

At this moment, the young man's sensitive ears heard a rustling sound of footsteps in the woods. They sounded cautious and slow, and the footsteps were light, not like those of a country bumpkin, nor like those of a martial artist. No matter which one it was, it was a helper he should win over.

As the footsteps got closer, before the young man could speak, the man screamed in surprise and ran away in panic. Hearing the voice, it was a girl. The young man couldn't bear to let a woman fall into such danger, so he held back his words and continued to fight with Boss Xiao.

After a few rounds, Boss Xiao realized that he was still no match for the young man in front of him, and he could only dodge a few moves with all his strength. So he continued to use underhanded tactics, pulling the young man's arms while making a feint to the east and attacking from the west. He drew out his dagger calmly and stabbed the young man's neck.

At this moment, a basin of hot water came from nowhere and splashed towards him. He subconsciously loosened his hands and used his arms to block it. The boiling water instantly scalded his arms and wrists and blisters formed. Boss Xiao didn't care about that and hurriedly took off his clothes, worried that the fabric would stick to the blisters. He looked carefully and saw that the large blisters were covered with sticky rice grains.

He looked at the woman who used the porridge to plot against him with fierce and angry eyes, just like he looked at Wan Tao who was pressed under him with his eyes. In shock, he showed a suspicious look and retorted: "You are not her. I can recognize her even if she turned into ashes. She is such a beautiful woman, how could she be such a scoundrel like you! Tell me! How did you know?"

Less than a year seemed like a lifetime ago. Boss Xiao's words were like a knife stabbing into her heart. She didn't want to recall how she became like this.

I don't want to talk nonsense with him anymore!

Wan Tao secretly grasped the handle of the dagger and pulled it out when Xiao Lao Da was not prepared. In the moment when Xiao Lao Da was in a trance, she stabbed him in the heart with all her strength. Xiao Lao Da opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth, and fell to the ground without saying anything except bleeding from the corners of his mouth.

Because of the counterattack just now, her body was shaking involuntarily, and her fingers could hardly hold anything. Wan Tao simply lay there with her eyes closed, her fists clenched on both sides of her body, and tears fell uncontrollably.

"What's up with him?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from beside her. Wan Tao slowly opened her eyes and answered lifelessly, "Dead."
