Never divorce, never stop getting rich

Chapter 111: Admiring the Beauty Under the Moon

"There's no one here. Are you seeing things?" The animal-skin boots made a squeaking sound as they stepped on the thick dead leaves.

"Impossible, I clearly heard someone talking nearby just now." Another pair of boots also appeared on the dead leaves, very close to the tree hole where Qian Qiansui and Wen Chun were hiding.

The lanterns swayed, as if trying to illuminate the surrounding environment.

"Bullshit! In this weather, it's going to snow soon. Who would run into this deep mountain forest? Besides, there are troops stationed nearby. If anything happens, they will find out first. Why are you so nervous?"

"I'm not afraid. In a couple of days, people from above will come to collect the wood. If the wood is gone, we won't be able to explain ourselves."

"Hey! You really think you're a dog to those people. What do you mean by a boss? Who in our village hasn't stained their blood? Cooperating with them now is just a temporary measure. We give the land to them, and they spend money to buy the wood. It's all business!"

"But life is much more stable now than before... I even want to marry a wife..."

"Come on, just rob whoever you want. Why are you so hesitant? What do you think those people are? They are just using our name to enrich themselves. If the imperial court really wants to take action against us, they will run away faster than anyone else. Save some money these years and leave a way out for yourself."

"This... can't be..."

As the two men were talking, they returned to the temporary mountain cabin. The latest batch of wood was piled next to the temporary residence of the bandits. As long as someone touched the wood, they could immediately alert people in the house and then send a message to the garrison outside.

When I opened the door, I saw that someone had already returned. There were five or six people living in the house at that time. They slept in a dormitory and had a fire burning on the earthen kang, so the room was quite warm.

Everyone in the house came back, so the bandits took out the food they had prepared, heated up a pot of wine, and prepared to have a delicious drink.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just as they sat down, there was a clear knock on the door.

The people in the room looked at each other, counted each other, and found that not one was missing.

"Who is it?" The man sitting at the door was a bearded man. He frowned and did not open the door rashly.

"Something happened! I'm Liuliang. Open the door quickly. I'm freezing to death." The person outside the door replied immediately.

The rest of the people in the room focused their attention on Liu Liang, who was sitting by the pot eating hot dishes.

"What...what are you doing? I am Liu Liang, the one at the door must be fake!" Liu Liang's hand shook and the chopsticks fell.

"Who's talking inside? Open the door quickly, I'm freezing!" The person outside the door was still shouting.

The bearded man with a face full of scars was a ruthless character. He didn't believe it and simply opened the door. Sure enough, the person standing outside was Liu Liang.

The whole room was in an uproar. In such a deep forest, two Liuliang appeared in the middle of the night. Who knew what the other one was.

"Old Pu, you... aren't you dead?" Liu Liang, who was outside the door, saw someone in the room and suddenly turned pale and panicked.

Old Pu pointed at himself and shook his head, saying, "No, I... I'm alive."

"You rolled down the cliff, don't you know it?" Liu Liang, who was outside the door, was covered in mud and looked extremely miserable. A small wisp of white smoke mixed with the steam in the house filled the entire room.

"Ahhhhh! Who among you is a human and who is a ghost?" The youngest one among these people couldn't bear it anymore. He was so scared that he took out a knife from his bag and pointed at everyone and cursed.

Soon, everyone seemed to be bewitched, suspicious of each other, and on guard against each other. The door slowly closed without anyone noticing, blocking out the noise and crying inside the room.

After a while, someone sprayed a bright red on the hazy window paper.

Liu Liang outside the door turned around and turned into a ball of cat-shaped smoke, disappearing without a trace.

"They are not good people." Qian Qiansui curled up in the tree hole, wrapped up like a hamster.

Wen Chun squeezed in with her, letting her lean on his arms as much as possible. He listened to the noise outside and did not forget to explain to her: "These are horse bandits outside the pass. After something happened, they fled to the inside of the pass and occupied the forest farm here.

It turned out that the forest farm here was jointly managed by the government and some merchants. They were afraid that someone would have bad intentions. But when they came, not only did they occupy the forest farm, they also killed many people.

Then the imperial court sent people to encircle and suppress them, and told the superiors that they had dealt with all the horse bandits, but in fact they had made a deal with them.

The tribute was reduced, and the remaining amount was embezzled by them and sent to the capital through special channels."

Qian Qiansui raised her head, and with the help of the moonlight outside the tree hole, she didn't know if it was her illusion, but a hint of light blue was faintly visible in her warm and clear eyes in the moonlight.

"What's wrong?" The boy lowered his head and looked at her intently, his eyes turning black again.

"I was thinking... do you still want to kill me?" Qian Qiansui leaned against him shamelessly. This place was not the northernmost part, but it was already freezing cold to the bone on such a winter night.

Wen Chun felt that this woman must have had her brain frozen. She didn't want to leave in such a cold weather and was thinking about such problems in the tree hole. But he didn't know why, he just didn't dare to look her in the eye.

It seemed that if this continued, his soul would be taken away.

"I...my mission is not to kill you. I will come to take revenge on you after I kill Fu Zichan." Wen Chun was murderous. If he was not so gentle while holding Qian Qiansui's hand, Qian Qiansui would believe it.

"Okay!" Qian Qiansui stretched out his cold little hand, tapped his nose, and said with a smile: "I'm waiting for you to kill me. Every time you come to kill me, I have a new understanding. I'm waiting for you to come~"

"You! I won't talk to you." Wen Chun felt like he was about to burn.

"Meow-"

Suddenly, a sudden cat meow was heard in the silent forest, followed by several dog barks.

"It seems that everything is done." Qian Qiansui didn't have time to tease him anymore, so he lowered his voice and said.

Wen Chun thought she was going back, so he wanted to get up and carry her out, but before he could move, Qian Qiansui blindfolded her with a ribbon.

"Shh... don't talk, or a monster might take you away."

In the darkness, a familiar aroma lingered around Wen Chun, successfully blocking his mouth and burning his ears red.

"Just wait for me here. Don't make any noise and don't worry. Les will be fine with me."

Wen Chun subconsciously shrank into the tree hole. He didn't even have the courage to reach out and pick the ribbon.

Qian Qiansui lowered his head, and seeing that he was so well-behaved, he couldn't help but leave a wet kiss on his eyes through the ribbon.

The footsteps in his ears gradually faded away. Wen Chun leaned against the tree hole, breathing heavily. He even wanted to take off his fur coat because he was feeling very hot.
