Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Chapter 1760: Fate
Xiao Yuer said calmly, "Dead." It seemed as if she had no feelings for her father at all.

"Where's your mother?"

"Also dead."

"Do you have any other relatives at home?"

"All dead."

A Bao had been listening to the conversation between the two. When he heard that Xiao Yu'er's family had died, he immediately showed a moving and heartbroken expression. He felt that this beautiful woman was even more pitiful than himself, and he wished...

Seeing Xie Fu looking at her, Xiao Yuer said calmly, "You don't have to pity me. What I've experienced is even more miserable than the death of my entire family."

Xie Fu changed the subject: "Let's find a place to eat and stay first."

When passing a street, Xie Fu found that Xiao Yuer was always looking in the direction of the alley. He knew that this was the look of a person looking at home, and Xiao Yuer's home was just inside the alley.

When passing by a clothing store, Xiao Yuer suddenly called a stop.

Xie Fu saw that Xiao Yu'er hadn't changed her dress during the whole journey, and it was all stained with dust. Knowing that she loved beauty, he smiled and said, "Do you want to buy some clothes?"

Xiao Yuer asked, "Are you willing to buy it for me?" She regretted it as soon as she said it. She was willing to spend a lot of money to treat her illness, so why would she be reluctant to buy her a piece of clothing?

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Do I look like a stingy person? Buy a few more so you can exchange them."

Xiao Yuer said: "You need to buy a set of clothes more."

"I said no, this dress is fine."

Being the center of attention everywhere in Lingnan County, Xie Fu really likes this kind of inconspicuous and relaxed lifestyle.

"If you want to buy a good weapon, you need to change your clothes."

"why?"

"Because only people of status can enter the auction house. You were stopped as soon as you arrived at the door."

Before meeting Su Qianqian, Xie Fu also wanted to see the world at the auction house, so he said, "Then buy some clothes to prepare. Maybe you will really go to the auction house to have a look."

Xiao Yuer looked at Xie Fu carefully and had already vaguely guessed that the purpose of Xie Fu's visit was not simple, but she said nothing.

The three of them entered the clothing store, and the shopkeeper immediately came forward and greeted them: "Three guests, what clothes do you want to buy?"

Master Xie pointed at A Bao and said, "Pick out a few sets of clothes for him according to his body shape, and also choose a warm coat."

A Bao waved his hand quickly: "Brother Qiu, I don't need it."

"Maybe you'll have to go to the auction house with me. How are you going to get in with me dressed like this?"

Xie Fu made up an excuse and the honest Abao did not refuse.

When the shopkeeper heard the word "auction house", his eyes lit up. He always said yes, "Never underestimate any outsider who comes to Jiancheng."

Xie Fu added: "Prepare some beautiful dresses for this young lady."

As they were talking, they found that Xiao Yu'er had already walked into the compartment, and the shopkeeper quickly followed her: "Madam, the clothes inside are more expensive."

Xie Fu said: "Price is not an issue." Xie Fu is a worldly man, and no matter how expensive the clothes are, they can't be more expensive than Xuan Danzhai's.

Let Abao carry it outside, and then everyone will go into the compartment.

There are fewer clothes in the compartment, but it can be seen that they are much better than those outside.

I saw Xiao Yu'er lingering in front of the men's clothing, with the shopkeeper serving her on the side. Xie Fu smiled in his heart. She really had the aura of a young lady from a wealthy family, which intimidated the shopkeeper.

Xiao Yu'er seemed to be very experienced in picking up a piece of clothing and rubbing it between her fingers. The shopkeeper introduced it to her, "Madam, this is the finest soft silk satin."

Xiao Yuer asked, "Is there any Suduan?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Fu could not help but exclaim, and the first thing she said was "Su Duan, the best girl in the world." She really had the demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family.

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed: "Madam, we are a small shop and we don't have Su satin."

Xiao Yuer turned her head and looked at Xie Fu: "There is no Suduan here, let's go to other shops to have a look."

The shopkeeper was unwilling to give up the business that was just around the corner, so he quickly said, "In the entire Jiancheng, only Bai Ruijing Cloth Shop has Su satin."

Xiao Yuer said, "Then let's go to Bai Ruijing Cloth Shop and have a look."

The shopkeeper stopped Xiao Yu'er from leaving and said, "Bai Ruijing Cloth Shop only has silk and satin, no ready-made clothes. They are all custom-made. We may not be willing to entertain you."

Xiao Yu'er ignored the shopkeeper's words and looked at Xie Fu and asked, "Are you sure you want to go to the auction house?"

Xie Fu smiled and said, "I think I'll go take a look."

"Then let's go, the clothes here don't suit you."

Xiao Yuer said this and walked out of the compartment despite the shopkeeper's attempts to persuade her to stay. A Bao, who was outside, was carefully touching the clothes. When he saw someone suddenly come out, he was so scared that he quickly retracted his hand.

Xie Fu couldn't let the shopkeeper wait on him for nothing, so he said, "Shopkeeper, how about this, according to what I just said, pick out a few sets of clothes for the young man, and a few dresses for the lady. If there is no Su satin, then we can use Ning silk soft satin."

Seeing that the business was not gone, the shopkeeper was very happy and said yes repeatedly.

After buying the clothes, Xiao Yuer packed them into two large bags and walked out of the shop. She looked at the donkey cart at the door and frowned and said, "We have to change this cart too."

A Bao, who was just happy, was stunned when he heard this. Xie Fu asked with a smile, "What should I change it to?"

"Change to a carriage. This is Jiancheng, there are plenty of carriages."

A Bao said anxiously: "Brother Qiu, I..."

Xie Fu raised his hand to interrupt A Bao and said to Xiao Yu'er with a smile: "This donkey has carried you all the way. What? Are you going to destroy the bridge after crossing it and then kill the donkey after it has done its job?"

Xiao Yuer smiled and said, "I am such a heartless woman. You'd better find a chance to sell me out."

Xie Fu turned to A Bao and said, "A Bao, how about I sell this woman to you?"

Xiao Yuer was immediately angry: "What did you say!"

A Bao was so scared that he quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, I can't afford a wife!"

"I'll sell it to you for one ounce of silver and deduct it from your reward."

Xiao Yuer suddenly raised her fist and started beating Xie Fu, cursing as she did so: "You stinky bastard, you stinky bastard..." She used all the dirty words that people in the market used to say.

Along the way, Xie Fu saw that Abao was an honest man who could be trusted for life, and Abao obviously had a good impression of Xiao Yuer, but he did not dare to show it. He wanted to test the waters and bring them together, so as to achieve a marriage, but he did not expect to provoke such a strong reaction from Xiao Yuer.

Facing her scolding, Xie Fu smiled and said, "Don't you care?"

Xiao Yuer was stunned for a moment, and then she took out her anger on A Bao, punching and kicking him. A Bao was an honest man, and he didn't dare to resist. He just thanked Master and pulled her away: "I'll sell you tomorrow!"

"You bought me just to let me lead the way for you. Now that we are in Jiancheng, you have achieved your goal, right?"

Xie Fu said heartlessly, "Yes." Women cannot be spoiled all the time. They need to be disciplined when necessary, otherwise they will become more and more demanding. This is Xie Fu's experience over the years.

You can see that Xiao Yu'er is very sad, but Xie Fu looks indifferent.

After a while, we arrived at Bai Ruijing Cloth Shop. Just looking at the facade, it was very grand and classy.

The shopkeeper and his assistants were also very perceptive and greeted the guests warmly, which was not what the clothing store owner just said, that they served dishes based on the dishes.

However, it is true that Su satin is expensive and only cloth is available, not ready-made clothes. A tailor measured Xie Fu's body, and after paying a deposit, he made an appointment to pick it up in three days.

Xiao Yuer seemed to be angry with Xie Fu. She didn't say anything the whole time, but just followed Xie Fu wherever he went, like a walking corpse.

Xie Fu found a restaurant and ordered some food and drinks. The atmosphere was a bit depressing and none of the three spoke.

Xie Fu also felt that it was a bit awkward to speak suddenly, so he put a piece of meat into Xiao Yuer's bowl. Xiao Yuer was surprised and looked at Xie Fu.

Xie Fu Baoyu smiled slightly, gave him a slap and then rewarded him with a piece of candy. It works for both men and women.

Xiao Yuer raised the corners of her mouth slightly, then suddenly pursed her lips, snorted, and took the meat from the bowl to the table: "I don't eat meat."

Xie Fu smiled and said, "You have just recovered from your illness. You need to eat more. You have to eat even if you don't want to." Then he put another piece of fish into her bowl.

"You're going to sell me off tomorrow anyway, why are you so concerned about me?"

"Look at you, your cheeks are sunken and you look sick. How can you sell it for a good price?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuer reached out and touched her face, and asked with concern, "Really?"

Xie Fu just smiled and didn't respond. Xiao Yuer turned to A Bao and asked, "A Bao, what do you think?"

A Bao felt that she was speaking to him in a sweet voice, and his face turned red and he nodded.

Xie Fu then smiled and said, "Please eat it to make your face look rosy, so that I can sell it at a good price."

Xiao Yuer said coldly: "If I don't eat, what can you do to me?"

Xie Fu originally wanted to say, if you don’t eat it, I will sell you to A Bao, but he thought that A Bao would definitely get angry again if he said that, so he gave up.

He put more meat into her bowl and said, "If you don't want to eat, I can't do anything to you."

In silence, Xiao Yuer ate the meat. Only a fool would not eat meat. She took the initiative to ask, "Are you really going to the auction house?"

"Yes, the clothes have been ordered."

"It's not enough to just dress elegantly."

"What else is missing? Please advise me, madam."

"Invitation card."

"How did you get this invitation?"

"You have no status or identity, so you can't receive an invitation letter. You can only..."

"Only what?"

“I can only steal.”

Xie Fu laughed: "Then where can we steal it?"

"Dengyinglou is the best restaurant in Jiancheng. Those who come to Jiancheng from other places to do big business all stay at Dengyinglou, and most of them often go to the auction house."

Xie Fu asked: "If we steal the invitation letter, can we get in?"

Xiao Yuer nodded: "The auction house is open one day and closed the next day."

Xie Fu said meaningfully: "Xiao Yu'er, you know a lot."

Xiao Yuer said calmly: "After all, I have lived in Jiancheng since I was a child."

"Having said that, this is not something that ordinary people can access."

Xiao Yuer didn't answer, and Xie Fu didn't ask any more questions.

After eating and drinking, they left the restaurant. Xiao Yuer took the initiative to point the way: "Dengying Tower is this way." If one wanted to steal something in Dengying Tower, it would naturally be best to stay in Dengying Tower.

Xie Fu walked in the opposite direction, and Xiao Yuer followed him in confusion: "Aren't you staying in Dengying Tower anymore?"

Xie Fu smiled and said, “This high-end restaurant is the only one I can afford.”

Xiao Yuer retorted: "You can afford Suduan, so why can't you afford to live in Dengying Tower? I know you are very rich, and you are doing illegal business that makes money quickly."

"Oh, you can see that."

Xiao Yuer sneered: "No matter how well you disguise yourself, some of your actions and habits will still reveal your true colors."

Xie Fu smiled and said, "You'd better not delve too deeply into this, or I'll kill you to silence you."

Xiao Yu'er smiled contemptuously, but A Bao, hearing this, screamed in shock.

When they reached the alley they had just walked to, Xie Fu stopped on purpose. Xiao Yuer was surprised, and when she saw Xie Fu walking into the alley, she hesitated for a moment and then followed him.

The sound of blacksmithing came from the alley. Some women were standing at the door, sewing scales on a piece of cloth. It was like an ordinary fine scale armor, which required about two hundred scales to be sewn on.

Jiancheng's military industry provides a livelihood for every household.

Sometimes there are some children chasing and playing in the alleys, and the scene looks peaceful and comfortable, but these weapons and armor are to charge and kill the enemy on the battlefield, and will surely be stained with blood in the future.

The armor is innocent, but the person is guilty.

Xiao Yuer looked at the children playing and slowly fell into the beautiful memories. As she walked, her steps became slower and slower, and her eyes were fixed on a house.

Xie Fuquan saw this and stopped at the gate of the house. Although it was not a wealthy and luxurious house, it was still a large and spacious house.

However, the courtyard house was already deserted, overgrown with weeds, and with broken tiles and windows.

I guess this must be Xiao Yuer's home. She also comes from a wealthy family. How could such a good home become like this? I turned my head and looked at Xiao Yuer.

Since they had brought her here, Xiao Yu'er simply said, "This is my home, are you satisfied?" Instead of feeling grateful, she seemed a bit resentful.

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Can I live in your house?"

Xiao Yuer smiled coldly: "I am happy to entertain you, but it is in such a shabby state now, how can people live here?"

"Just clean it up." Xie Fu said and walked in first.

Xiao Yuer stood at the door and looked at the yard. The environment could be cleaned up, but the people were gone and no one would come to clean it up.

As Xie Fu walked in, a child suddenly appeared and poured a basin of cold water on Xie Fu. It was so cold in the middle of winter that Xie Fu screamed as if he had been stabbed by a knife!

A few children heard the noise and came out from their hiding places excitedly. But when they saw the inhuman things being splashed on them, they were all stunned.

Xie Fu had an embarrassed look on his face. He was guarding against knives and robberies, but he didn't expect to fall on a child. With a godly body, he was not afraid of swords and spears, and he was used to being assassinated. Pouring cold water on him was worse than being stabbed by a knife.

One of the kids shouted, "Run!" and then disappeared.

The child who had poured a basin of water all over Xie Fu finally reacted and was about to escape through the gate, but was caught by A Bao.

The child struggled and yelled, "Let me go!"

Xie Fu recalled that he was also very naughty when he was a child, and laughed: "Good boy, why did you splash me with water for no reason?"

The child shouted, "I didn't mean to splash you, I meant to splash that Tuesday dog ​​who bullied my mother-in-law."

Seeing that the child's clothes were patched and he was barefoot in the middle of winter, Xie Fu thought that the child's family was poor, so he simply said in a literary way: "It is said that water is wealth. If you throw water at me, you are throwing wealth at me."

Xiao Yu'er had been getting along with Xie Fu for a few days. In her impression, this man had always been a rough guy, but she had never seen his scholarly side, so she had a strange expression on her face for a moment.

The child was even more confused and didn't understand what Xie Fu was saying at all.

Xie Fu took out a tael of silver and handed it to the child, saying with a smile: "You threw money at me, and I gave it back. This is called reciprocity."

Not to mention the confused look on the child's face, Xiao Yu'er and A Bao also looked strange. If someone was splashed with cold water in the middle of winter and still gave money to that person, he must be either a lunatic or a fool.

The child's eyes were twinkling, and it was obvious that he was a clever kid who often hung out in the market. Until Xie Fu touched the child's head, the child quickly took the silver and ran away.

Xiao Yuer saw the child running away and asked, "Why?"

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Why ask why? I just know that this kid is definitely happy today, and I am happy too, that's enough."

Xiao Yu'er sneered: "I know, you must have done a lot of evil things, and you know that your sins are so serious that you can't rest day and night, so you want to accumulate virtue and do good deeds to make up for these sins."

Xie Fu laughed: "Just take it as it is."

Xiao Yuer rolled her eyes at him and changed the subject: "You really want to live here."

Xie Fu asked back: "Don't you want to?"

"I do not want!"

"I think so." Xie Fu said and walked straight to the center hall.

When he stepped into the hall, although it was desolate and dilapidated, he could still tell from the environment and layout that it was a wealthy family. Only wealthy families would pay so much attention to their appearance, just like his Xie family. Although they were once in decline, the hall for receiving guests was always bright and clean.

The tables, chairs and couches were all covered with a thick layer of dust. There was a plaque on the ground that was cracked into two pieces. The words on the plaque could still be clearly recognized. There were four big characters written on it: "Shenduan Family".

Xie Fu turned around and glanced at Xiao Yu'er, but Xiao Yu'er did not respond to Xie Fu's gaze. Instead, she lowered her head with a gloomy expression.

Xie Fu said tentatively: "You are right, I am a killer, I kill people for money."

As expected, Xiao Yuer's eyes lit up, as if something that had been buried deep in her heart for a long time was touched - hatred and revenge!

Xie Fu continued: "As long as I can pay enough, I can help my employer kill anyone."

Xiao Yuer looked into Xie Fu's eyes and said, "I want you to help me kill someone, but I don't have enough people."

Xie Fu smiled and said, "If you don't have money, you can exchange it for something of equal value. That's also fine."

Xiao Yuer laughed sadly: "The most valuable thing in my body is me, is that enough?"

Xie Fu smiled and said, "You are a priceless treasure, of course it is enough."

Xiao Yu'er was excited: "Then it's settled. I'll take myself in exchange for you helping me kill someone."

Xie Fu shook his head again: "But this priceless treasure of yours originally belonged to me."

Xiao Yuer said coldly: "I don't belong to you completely."

Xie Fu said "oh" to express his confusion.

Xiao Yuer said in a deep voice: "My heart does not belong to you. If you help me kill someone, my heart will also belong to you."

Xie Fu smiled: "When did you become so proud?"

Xiao Yuer was stunned when she heard this, then lowered her head in self-abasement, but Xie Fu said, "Deal!"

Xiao Yu'er was surprised, and raised her head to look at Xie Fu: "Why don't you ask me who I want to kill first?"

"No matter who you want to kill, I can help you kill him." As a killer, this is quite domineering.

Xiao Yuer asked with a smile: "Do you kill good people too?"
