Good luck every time

The waiter opened his mouth, but had no idea what to do with this man.

"Sir, my brother has a quick temper and didn't mean to say that!"

Li Er frowned and waved his hand.

"It's okay, go back! Don't bother us anymore!"

The waiter glanced at the tall and fat man with some resentment.

The tall and fat man ignored him completely, turned around and walked back with the bucket, as if he was the one who was sprayed just now.

The waiter looked at him, then at Li Er, and seeing that Li Er really didn't want to pay attention to him, he had to say goodbye.

"Then I will go back now. If you need anything, please send someone to find me."

Li Er nodded impatiently.

"understood!"

The waiter then carried another bucket of water and hurried to catch up with the tall and fat man who had left first.

After the others left, Wen Qiufeng, the escort leader hired by Li Er, came over.

"Did you discover it?"

This man is tall and strong, wears simple clothes, and has an ordinary appearance. It is difficult for him to be remembered in a crowd.

He had a long sword hanging from his waist, and the cloth wrapped around the hilt had turned yellow from sweat.

Li Er didn't know what he was talking about, so he had to look away and ask him.

"What did you find?"

Wen Qiufeng didn't keep anyone in suspense and spoke directly.

"These people all know martial arts, especially the fat guy just now, whose martial arts skills are the best among them."

Li Er had also noticed this, and he agreed as well.

"Found it! But it has nothing to do with us. If you want to come to this remote place, you wouldn't dare to open an inn here unless you have real skills."

Wen Qiufeng was stunned by what Li Er said.

He always felt something was strange, and these people did not give him a good impression.

What Li Ershi said makes some sense, but it is probably not entirely correct.

This is his intuitive feeling brought about by his experience of traveling all over the country. Even without evidence, his instinct still reminds him.

"I think there's no need to live here since we're all going to be sleeping outside."

"Our people are divided into two groups, so it's hard to communicate with each other. If something happens, we will be caught off guard."

After hearing this, Li Er remained indifferent.

"It's okay, just rest assured, I will make the decision."

Wen Qiufeng wanted to say something after hearing this, but seeing Li Er's expression, he could only sigh and swallow his words of persuasion.

Li Er did not comfort him and turned to do other things.

Over there, the waiter and the tall fat man were walking back together, looking a little unhappy.

"Your tone just now was too harsh!"

The tall and fat man glared at the waiter.

"You know nothing! They are so wary of us. Our kindness is being treated like a donkey's liver and lungs. Can't we get angry?"

The waiter didn't quite agree with this.

"But we have to think about our own business. If you say that, they will be even more cautious and might even get angry out of shame."

The tall and fat man's brows were twisted into a "川" shape, making his already dark face look even more ferocious.

"So what if they get angry out of shame! We just need to capture those people in the inn and use them as hostages. Why should we worry about them getting angry out of shame?"

The waiter opened his mouth and felt that what the other party said made sense, but he also felt that the reasoning was not very solid.

"But... there are a lot of people in the inn. If they gather together, it will be difficult for us to catch them..."

The tall fat man sneered.

"Once they come in, I'm afraid it won't be up to them whether they are willing or not!"

In the room, Li Ruyi made all the preparations and finally confirmed them with Xiaoman.

"Did you remember what I told you?"

Xiaoman laughed.

"Second sister, when have I ever forgotten what you told me?"

Li Ruyi patted her shoulder.

"Third brother, we all depend on you!"

Xiaoman nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry! I'll take care of it."

The two were talking about something, and Xiaoman suddenly made a gesture to keep quiet.

Li Ruyi immediately retracted all expressions.

They both squatted down at the same time and looked towards the kang wall.

After a while, an inaudible blowing sound was heard.

Li Ruyi blinked.

Xiaoman also listened patiently.

A faint smell spread, and suddenly, a plop sound came from somewhere.

Li Ruyi stood up and raised an eyebrow at Xiaoman.

Xiaoman quickly ran to the door and listened carefully. When she heard no one coming, she made a gesture to Li Ruyi.

I didn't expect these people to be so vigilant.

Li Ruyi covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, took out a dagger, squatted down, and used the tip of the knife to poke a hole in the soft part of the kang wall.

No one knows what's going on inside.

Li Ruyi didn't want to know either.

After the wound was pricked, Xiaoman felt around his waist and took out a small ball and a fire starter.

She held her breath and walked to the gap.

Li Ruyi quickly made way.

Xiaoman held the small ball in both hands and lit it with a fire starter.

The gray ball glowed red, as if the spices were burning.

However, Xiaoman was very alert. As soon as the thing showed signs of burning, she exerted force and stuffed the small ball into the place where Li Ruyi had just opened.

At the same time, Li Ruyi's hands moved quickly. She held a short brush in her hand, which was dipped in some unknown substance.

That was the method Granny Ding taught the two of them to disguise themselves. This thing was also made by Granny Ding to be used as a human skin mask. It is easy to dry but also easy to shape.

However, before they started using this thing on their faces, Li Ruyi used it to paint the wall.

The wall, originally made of special materials, becomes no longer breathable after being painted with this stuff.

The smoke that was blowing this way didn't come over at all.

Li Ruyi and Xiaoman were still fine, but the person who plotted against them fell first.

Li Ruyi filled the gap tightly with the paste used to make human skin masks.

Xiaoman squatted there and listened carefully to the movement behind.

The place where she had just stuffed the thing seemed to be a small window. The small ball rolled several times with a burning sound before falling to the ground.

Xiaoman has extraordinary hearing, and those tiny sounds form pictures with movements in her mind.

The sound of the burning ball became louder and louder, and the crackling sound was so loud that Li Ruyi could easily lock its position.

Soon another sound was heard from behind the kang wall.

Xiaoman hurriedly pulled Li Ruyi's hand and pointed behind her.

She determined the location of the entrance.

Li Ruyi nodded, indicating that he understood.

A low curse sounded from behind.

The sound was very small, and only Xiaoman could hear it.

It was a voice she had never heard before, and it didn't belong to anyone she had met today.

She gestured to Li Ruyi and communicated using the secret code they had agreed upon.

The small ball that Xiaoman threw in was not very toxic. Its most important ability was to release a large amount of smoke that caused severe pain in people's eyes.

This thing was a derivative product of her research on poisons. She had never used it before, and even she herself didn't know how powerful it was.

After all, there were no houses in Sanjia Village for her to harm, so she was conducting her experiments on open space.

The smoke was quickly blown away by the mountain breeze.

The person behind the kang wall tried to pull the person blowing the smoke away in the smoke, but it was obviously not working. He coughed violently twice, but still couldn't hold it back, and backed away, covering his red eyes.

Xiaoman made a gesture to Li Ruyi.

Li Ruyi nodded.

The two of them quickly got up and jumped onto the kang.

Li Ruyi used a dagger to pry open the rear window. As the sky was getting darker, she took a look at the situation outside. Seeing that there was no danger, she jumped out with Xiaoman.

Xiaoman took her to a room at the back. When they reached the door, Li Ruyi heard someone talking in the room.

"problem occurs!"

"what happened?"

"We were discovered by those two girls! Dashan has fainted and I can't bring him out."

"What? I'll go check it out!"

Li Ruyi and Xiaoman stood on either side of the door, their bodies pressed against it, prepared for anyone to come out at any time.

Not to mention, not long after they stood there, the two people talking inside separated.

One of them went downstairs again, and the other rushed out of the room quickly, trying to use the cold wind outside to blow away his stinging eyes.

However, he had lost the possibility of opening his eyes. As soon as he walked out of the door, Li Ruyi took a step forward, grabbed his head with both hands and twisted it hard!

With a click, the man fell limply to the ground without even having the chance to react.

Blood slowly flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

But before it could stay, it was wiped away by a handkerchief.

Assassins like to use this method to kill people, of course not because it is convenient.

Speaking of convenience, twisting the head is certainly not as convenient as wiping the neck.

However, this method of killing will not leave too much blood, and naturally it will not easily alert the enemy.

Xiaoman had already walked to the door and closed it. He then took out a lock and locked it.

Two men carried the body to the room.

The corpse was not light, but the two men had no time to save their energy and directly used their internal energy to perform light skills.

They returned to the room through the window they came in through. Li Ruyi took out the bedding and made the room, then threw the body on top and covered it with the quilt, making it look like someone was sleeping.

The two sisters moved quickly.

However, the person who went to rescue people was not good enough. Before Li Ruyi could climb out of the window, the man had already run to the door.

He groaned, tears streaming down his face in pain, and reached for the door with both hands, wanting to come out and cool his eyes with the cold wind.

However, the door was locked by Xiaoman, and he couldn't open it for a while.

The clanging sound of the lock could be heard from far away in the empty backyard.

The two sisters hurriedly speeded up their movements.

When the two men reached the door, they heard shouting and screaming in pain from the room.

Li Ruyi gestured to Xiaoman.

Xiaoman took out the key and unlocked the door with a click.

The next moment, the door opened, and a man holding a big knife screamed, and the blade rolled wildly.

He stirred up the room vigorously on both sides of the door and in front of him.

But, it's empty!

He was startled, and the next moment Li Ruyi fell from the sky, directly riding on his shoulders, and with a force of both hands, she twisted the man's neck.

Xiaoman had already run some distance away and stood where the man could not reach her, watching everything happen.

This time, Li Ruyi did not drag the body back, but pulled the body into the door.

Xiaoman followed in.

There was a faint smell of smoke in the room.

Li Ruyi threw the body down, pulled out the knife from his back and was about to capture the only living person for interrogation.

However, when she followed Xiaoman's instructions and reached the entrance of the secret passage, she hurriedly retreated.

"No! The smoke hurts my eyes, and I can't go in!"

This eye smoke is different from inhaling smoke. The latter can be resisted by holding your breath.

Even if the former closes his eyes, the smoke will still penetrate into his nasal cavity and the gaps between his eyes.

Even if Li Ruyi was prepared, he could not resist.

After hearing this, Xiaoman wanted to go over and try it herself, but was stopped by Li Ruyi.

"Forget it! Even if the people inside crawl out, they'll probably be blind. They won't pose a threat to us in the short term. But if the smoke continues to drift outside, we won't be able to say for sure!"

Xiaoman:......

Ok!

She is just too strong!

Li Ruyi took her back, and the two of them walked to the door and moved the body back and put it away.

The doors and windows were closed, and Li Ruyi took Xiaoman to the back.

Night falls slowly.

The courtyard of the inn was quiet, with only noises coming from the large bunk bed where Li Ruyi had booked his bed.

The clothes they both wore were grey in color. Although they didn't look like night clothes in the dark, they didn't attract much attention.

Xiaoman captured all the sounds around him and tried his best to memorize all the terrain in the inn.

Let’s talk about why Li Ruyi was ready to take action as soon as he arrived.

Not only was there incense in the room that clearly weakened their strength, but also because these people's acting skills were so poor that they were laughable.

The shopkeeper doesn’t look like a shopkeeper, and the waiter doesn’t look like a waiter.

They were more like the vanguards arranged by the bandits here. Although they tried their best to play their respective roles well, they always showed the bandits' brutality in their every move.

When it comes to eliminating harm for the people, Li Ruyi becomes very excited.

It doesn’t cost any money and you can accumulate blessings at the same time, so why not do it!

As for whether the bandits would find her.

She was not very afraid. From the moment she joined forces with Qin Huanzhang, she knew that she was on the opposite side of many people.

The map she paid a huge price for might be exactly what others wanted her to see.

This journey is destined not to be peaceful.

In that case, she didn't mind adding more firewood.

There were many bandits and robbers on the way to Quzhou County. These people were all "businessmen" in the open, doing business for money or life, or both.

However, Li Ruyi had already heard about who was behind these "businessmen".

Others don't want her to have a happy journey, and she doesn't want them to live a comfortable life.

When the atmosphere reaches this point, it is reasonable for everyone to do something to annoy the other party.

The other party wanted to snatch Li Ruyi here.

Li Ruyi also removed the person who was assigned here!

The inn was neither big nor small, and the two sisters walked around quickly.

Xiaoman gave Li Ruyi a look, and Li Ruyi understood and followed her to a deserted corner.

Xiaoman picked up a branch from the ground and squatted on the ground to draw the terrain here for Li Ruyi to see.

This is of course not complete. Xiaoman can only hear places where there are people or sounds. She will not know about those quiet secret passages.

After Li Ruyi memorized the terrain, he thought about it for a while and then took Xiaoman to verify it.
