Chapter 38
A faint smell of blood filled the valley.

The six robbers are all dead!

Liu Ji blinked twice quickly. He didn't even know when the six people fell.

Anyway, with just such a flash of divine effort, he was already dead.

Qin Yao wiped the knife clean on the robbers' bodies, and the six robbers died with unsatisfactory eyes, their eyes suddenly wide open, and the luster inside had long since disappeared.

The clothes the six of them wore were all tattered linen clothes, which looked worse than what Liu Ji was wearing. Qin Yao glanced at them with disgust and reached out to touch something on them.

It's a pity that they were so poor that they didn't touch a single copper plate, but the knives in their hands looked pretty good.

Qin Yao gathered all six knives, got up and looked around, and threw all six corpses into the weedy ditch on the right, letting them return to the embrace of nature.

There are many wild animals in the forest, and they will be cleared away in a few days.

The six people were dealt with quickly, thinking that there would be villagers passing by every day, Qin Yao swept the bloody place with her feet, and covered the blood with sand and gravel, so that no one would be frightened when they came.

Qin Yao clapped her hands and said, "By the way, do these six people look familiar to you?"

She suddenly remembered, "If it's someone from around here, it would be a bit troublesome."

Liu Ji shook his head stiffly.

I thought to myself, is it a bit deliberate for you to ask after killing everyone?

After the incident, he has not spoken.

Qin Yao took it as a sign that he was not talkative and nodded relaxedly, "It's fine if he's not from around here. There is a law in the Sheng Kingdom that states that if a commoner encounters a thief on the road, there is no guilt in killing him."

She raised her chin at him, "Let's go."

Liu Ji followed immediately, and when passing by the piece of gravel that she swept with her feet, she took a big step and jumped over.

The two of them returned home one after another, it was already half afternoon.

Mr. He went back after finishing lunch, and the clansmen who helped him were busy in front and behind the house.

The tiles were delivered one after another, and with everyone's efforts, the new house gradually took shape.

Qin Yao was surprised to find that the food at home is much more delicious these days, and the house has become cleaner. Someone maintains it every day to ensure the cleanliness of the house.

The man in the family is basically at home every day now, and he doesn't go out to recruit the younger daughter-in-law to tease the older girl. He takes care of the housework better and better, which is very much in line with her wishes.

Qin Yao vaguely guessed that this should be related to what happened when he returned from Xiahe Village that day.

But what she didn't know was that as soon as the two returned to the village that day, Liu Ji immediately dug out the hidden copper coins, grabbed a handful and hurried to the village.

He first found Sister-in-law Zhou and gave her ten coins under her surprised gaze.

"This is?" Zhou's sister-in-law was a little confused and a little scared.

There is something wrong with Liu Laosan today, don't you do something wrong again, right?
Liu Ji said with a guilty face: "Sister-in-law, I picked all the vegetables in your field a few days ago. This is the money for the vegetables in those days. Don't tell my wife that I picked your vegetables. Vegetables in the vegetable field."

What did you pick?It was obviously stolen!
Sister-in-law Zhou came up angrily, "Okay, so it was you who caused me to chase and scold those boys in the village for two days, but no one admitted it, so it was you who did it!"

Seeing that she was angry, Liu Ji quickly admitted his mistake: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, I forgot to give you the money for a while, why don't I just take the money and pay you back."

Sister-in-law Zhou didn’t know the virtues of the man in front of her, so she weighed the coins curiously and asked:

"San'er, the sun didn't come out to the west today. You really have changed. You know you stole something and you came back?"

Liu Ji hurriedly corrected: "What stealing, I just bought it, sister-in-law, please remember, I bought the vegetables from you with money, not stealing!"

After finishing speaking, he gave her two more copper coins, euphemistically called hush money.

Sister-in-law Zhou found that she couldn't understand the man in front of her.

Is this still the same Liu Laosan from before?
Liu Ji repeatedly urged not to tell his wife about this matter at all, and got a nod from Mrs. Zhou, then turned around and continued to rush to Granny Wang's house at the head of the village.

Grandma Wang was sitting at the door holding the soles of her shoes. When she saw Liu Ji running over, she opened her dim old eyes and shouted angrily:
"Liu Laosan, you bastard, how dare you come to my house and steal my eggs?"

Grandma Wang fell when she was young, and her calf fracture was not cured. Since then, the root cause of the disease has fallen, and her legs and feet are a little uncomfortable.

Two years ago, the world was in chaos, the son was conscripted and died on the battlefield, the daughter-in-law remarried and ran away, leaving only a little grandson, the grandparent and grandson depended on each other.

Granny Wang couldn't do heavy work, so she raised a lot of chickens and ducks, and made a living by selling eggs and duck eggs, and the grandparents and grandchildren survived.

Eggs are the life of Grandma Wang, who would have expected that as soon as she went out to catch bugs for the chickens and ducks that day, Liu Ji would arrive on the back.

The little grandson was young, and Liu Jizhen tricked him into opening the door and letting him into the courtyard.

In the blink of an eye, he was allowed to walk away with five eggs.

The little grandson counts the eggs and duck eggs at home several times a day, remembering the number clearly.

After Liu Ji left, he counted and realized that he was cheated by Liu Ji.

When Granny Wang came home, she saw her poor grandson sitting at the door crying loudly, and when she heard him say that Uncle Liu had lied to her, she was so angry that she was half dead.

She wanted to go to Liu Ji, but she was afraid that this kid would be so generous that she might hurt her old bones, so she hesitated again and again, but still didn't go.

But he didn't expect that if she didn't trouble Liu Ji, this shameless Liu Ji would come again!

Granny Wang picked up the mallet placed by the door and looked fierce as if Liu Ji dared to come near, she would fight him tooth and nail.

Liu Ji hurriedly said: "Don't get excited, I'm here to give you egg money, I left in a hurry that day, I forgot, don't get me wrong, I, Liu Ji, am not that kind of person."

After finishing speaking, he counted out five copper coins, put them on the ground, and turned to leave.

After walking out for a while, he suddenly turned around and turned back. The grandson who was about to pick up the money was so frightened that he ran home and hid behind his grandma.

Liu Jihe showed a self-conscious smile and handed over five cents, "I will buy five more eggs with you, and I will give my wife an extra meal in the evening. She is busy these days, so I have to make up for her."

Granny Wang was dubious, who didn't know that Liu Laosan was full of lies, none of which was true?
She asked her grandson to get the money. When she saw that Liu Ji actually gave him the money, she suppressed her suspicion and went to get five fresh local eggs and put them on the ground for Liu Ji to take.

"Mother-in-law, your eggs are much more delicious than other eggs. I will come again next time." Liu Ji smiled brightly, picked up the eggs on the ground and put them back inside, turned around, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, I finally feel relieved.

Even if the mother-in-law at home finds out, she can't fault him.

Also can't kill him.

He has lived for 23 years, and he never thought that someone would kill someone in front of him as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

What's more, he didn't expect that he would actually marry this murderous god into his family.

If only he had known about committing crimes!Liu Ji looked up at the sky. He regretted it now!
When passing by the Liu family's old house, Liu Ji walked in with a face full of sorrow, and for the first time in his life, he spoke nicely to his stepmother, Mrs. Zhang.

It's just for her to teach him some cooking skills, so that he can use it to please the god of death at home.

Zhang: It was quite sudden.
