Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Rui Xin wiped away the tears that came out of her wild laughter, and then stared at Xu Mengru with sarcasm in her eyes.

He thought Xu Mengru would be furious because of what he had just said, "woman", but after staring at her for a long time, he found that Xu Mengru's expression did not change at all.

"Are you done laughing?" Xu Mengru said calmly, "A fool is still a fool after all. He thinks he has the initiative, but in reality he's just a piece of fish on the chopping board."

"Whether you tell me or not, it makes no difference, because the people outside can't rescue you."

"If I want to know, I can capture two people alive. Master Chen has countless ways to pry open their mouths."

Rui Xin was a little annoyed and said, "Do you trust Chen Lang so much? Don't forget, you once hired someone to beat him up and almost beat him to death!"

"There is no man in the world who has such a broad mind. You want to marry Chen Lang as a concubine? No way."

Xu Mengru's expression finally changed. She stepped forward and slapped Rui Xin hard: "Shut up!"

Rui Xin touched the cheek that had been hit by Xu Mengru, and a hint of enjoyment even appeared in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "Mengru, you know what? I've wanted you to hit me like this for many years."

"But you've always respected me."

"It makes me sad."

Xu Mengru was so angry that her hands were shaking: "Rui Xin, you... are shameless."

Rui Xin said, "Am I shameless, or are you? A man you once treated like a wild dog and a pig is now being pursued by you in every possible way? If I were to say, you are the most shameless one."

"I still say the same thing, no matter how well you do, Chen Lang will not marry you!"

Fu Bin, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it anymore, so he took a step forward and came to Rui Xin. He clamped his chin with his left hand and swung his right hand to slap him in the face.

After more than ten slaps, Rui Xin's face was swollen like a pig's head, looking both embarrassed and funny.

But Rui Xin didn't seem to feel too much pain, and even teased Fu Bin: "Why, you like this woman too? Let me tell you, this woman... is a vicious snake. If you like her, you will be in big trouble."

Fu Bin swung his hands and spat in Rui Xin's face: "Bullshit, I just can't stand you humiliating Master Chen."

Fu Bin's slap also indirectly helped Xu Mengru vent her anger, and her mood calmed down a lot. After sighing, she asked, "Jinyanggang is a no-man's land in Linshui County. The government's indulgence here is even worse than that of Baoningfang."

"Even if there were rivers of blood here, the government wouldn't send anyone here."

Rui Xin said, "So what? Do you really think you can stop them with just the few men you have?"

Fu Bin got angry again and asked, "How dare you look down on my brother?"

Rui Xin said: "Xu Mengru, these outsiders are not ordinary thugs, they..."

Xu Mengru waved her hand to interrupt Rui Xin and said, "They are not ordinary thugs. I feel much more relieved."

"The most taboo thing in competition between merchants is to cross the line. If these people were hired by the Min family, I don't know how to explain it to Master Chen... But now that these people were hired by you, they have nothing to do with the Min family, so dealing with them is actually less troublesome."

Rui Xin said: "You have no idea how cruel they are."

"And what makes you so sure that the Min family has nothing to do with this matter?"

……

"You are really not invited by the Min family?"

Chen Lang sat on the steps, with the two assassins who had sneaked into his house kneeling in front of him.

However, one of the assassins had blood all over his head and was in a confused state, unable to speak.

The other assassin had bloodshot eyes, tears streaming down his face, and an expression of extreme pain.

Chen Lang had him try a special "chili water" made with dogwood as the main ingredient, mixed with garlic, ginger and other spices. Chen Lang took a sip himself and felt that the spiciness was about half that of chili peppers.

Although this special pepper water cannot kill people, it can cause them immense pain.

After the assassin was knocked unconscious by the spiciness, the guards at home rushed in and tied him up, then poured a lot of cold water into his eyes to help relieve some of the pain.

Chen Lang did this not because he had a change of heart, but because he needed to ask the other party some questions.

I was so spicy that I was unconscious and couldn't ask anything.

However, Chen Lang underestimated this man's willpower. Although the pepper spray made him feel extremely painful, he refused to answer any questions Chen Lang asked.

The guards used the "Great Memory Recovery Technique" on him, but still failed to pry open his mouth.

"Sir, this guy is too stubborn. It's unlikely to pry him open in a short time. Why don't we wait until Miss Xu catches his tongue and then ask him together." The leader of the guards said to Chen Lang.

Chen Lang nodded.

After hearing this, the assassin, who had been pepper-sprayed all over his face, smirked and said, "There's no way that chick Xu will come back alive. You guys should just give up on that idea."

Chen Lang raised his eyebrows. "From what you said, it seems that the ones attacking Xu Mengru are your main force?"

"There aren't many bandit dens around Linshui. Where did organized bandits like you come from?"

"Could it be... a Liao person?"

Having said that, Chen Lang asked the leader of the guards to tear open the man's clothes on his chest.

Aside from the chest hair, there's not much else.

Chen Lang simply ordered the guards to strip the man naked.

Chen Lang circled around him and said, "Fuck, Jin Yong lied to me again."

The leader of the guards asked curiously, "Sir, what are you looking for?"

Chen Lang said, "Tattoos. Legend has it that all Liao Dynasty men would have a husky tattoo on their chest."

The guard leader was surprised and said, "Husky? What is that?"

"Besides, I have never heard of the Liao people having this custom."

Chen Lang smiled awkwardly: "I'm just talking nonsense."

"I'll leave these two people to you, take them away."

……

"Captain Fu, who do you think they are?"

In the small house in Jinyanggang, Xu Mengru was also asking the people around her this question.

At this moment, there was still fighting outside the yard, but the noise was not as loud as before.

A few breaths ago, another man rushed in covered in blood, but was stabbed to death by Fu Bin with his intestines spilling out.

Seeing the other person kneeling on the ground with his intestines in his hands, Xu Mengru almost vomited on the spot. After all, it was the first time she had seen such a scene.

But Xu Mengru relied on her strong willpower to endure it.

But if she just stood there, the scene would keep lingering in her mind, so Xu Mengru began to think of ways to divert her attention.

Fu Bin called a few subordinates and quickly carried out the body and the intestines left at the scene to avoid further irritation to Xu Mengru. After hearing her question, he racked his brains to answer it.

"They're all unfamiliar faces, people I haven't seen before." Fu Bin said, "And their accents are mixed, they don't seem like locals. I think they're most likely those who stayed in Linshui during the disaster, and they're willing to risk their lives for a little money."

"But Miss Xu, don't worry. With us here, no one can hurt a hair on your head."

Then he walked to the door and shouted, "Brothers, stop wasting time and kill them!"
