Assassin Hunting Country

"Sister Lin fell from the sky~~~Sister Lin~~~Han Meimei~~~It's better to have a little sister~~~"

Lu Jin was lying on the hay bed, looking at the leaky roofs, humming an out-of-key tune one by one.

"Hold that one, hug that one~~~ I'll fall asleep after hugging in the bridal chamber~~~hug that one, hug that one~~~Day's younger sister is screaming~~~day~~day~~~"

"Okay, I know you're hungry, let's say goodbye to 'day', this fish soup is ready for you, eat it while it's hot!"

Qing'er came in from outside the house carrying fish soup, and said with a smile.

"That... I don't have that... You misunderstood..." Lu Jin looked embarrassed when he heard Qing'er's words, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he just Can speak rambling words hesitatingly.

"What's wrong with you? The wound is still hurting, isn't it? Drink the fish soup first, and sing after you recover!" Qing'er said and put the fish soup in front of Lu Jin.

"You...you heard everything?"

"Yes, but Qing'er doesn't understand what it is singing. You must have learned it secretly from that singer. Good day, good day, I don't care what your day is, Qing'er, now you put this bowl of fish first. Let's finish the soup first!" Qing'er said to Lu Jin seriously with her big eyes that were as pure as water.

"I... that... I..." Looking at Qing'er's innocent smiling face that day, Lu Jin couldn't speak at all, his mind was completely blank.

"Then what? Whether you have a good day or eat, you have to put this fish soup in your stomach!" Qing'er looked at Lu Jin who had been hesitating, unable to speak, and did not drink the fish soup. She was a little anxious.

"Okay, I'll eat, I'll eat, um... um? Why are the fish so small?" Lu Jin sat up, picked up the bowl, and found only two small palm-sized fish floating in a big bowl of soup. For Lu Jin, who eats a lot, ordering something is not enough to fill his teeth.

"It was sent by Uncle Song this morning. There are so many in total. Why don't you eat it?" Qing'er watched me pick up the bowl and asked, swallowing a few times.

"Is there anything else to eat?"

"Brother, you won't forget, right? You haven't accepted the mission for two months, and the food stock at home has long... been used up!" Qing'er complained and felt aggrieved.

"Ah? So miserable! Then I ate this fish, what do you eat?"

"I... I... I don't need you to worry about it, you should eat it!" Qing'er looked at the fish soup in Lu Jin's hand and swallowed a few more times, but still urged Lu Jin to eat Down.

Only then did Lu Jin understand that Qinger's yellowish face was not her original skin color, but caused by long-term hunger. Looking at this little girl who was hungry and took care of her brother, Lu Jin felt very uncomfortable. In her previous life, she ate alone. The whole family is not hungry, but now not only can't eat enough, but even this well-behaved and sensible younger sister is going to starve...  

Lu Jin put down the bowl in his hand, pulled Qing'er to sit beside him, and said to Qing'er in a very gentle tone: "Qing'er, you can eat, brother is fine, you will be fine in two days!"

"No, you must eat. Our family is counting on you. Our parents died early. When I was young, as long as my brother had something to eat, he would let me eat. That's why Qing'er is now. Now that you are seriously injured, you are a younger sister. I should take care of my brother, as long as you are well, accept the task, and divide the silver, we can have food, but... if you... I am a weak woman. ...." As she spoke, countless teardrops crawled out of Qing'er's big eyes.

Lu Jin looked at Qing'er who was crying like rain and didn't know what to say, looked at a large bowl of fish soup on the table, and said to Qing'er: "Okay, Qing'er, so, we will be half of each other!"

"No, I'll give you all..."

"Listen to me, or I won't eat a bite, and I will starve to death in front of you, you eat first!"

Seeing Lu Jin's slightly angry face and his undeniable words, Qing'er didn't speak anymore, but timidly picked up the big guy in front of her and drank it down.

"Drink more, how can this be half? Hurry up... Clean the meat off the tail of this fish... Slow down, there are thorns on the fish, don't stick it in the mouth!" In Lu Jin Under the threatening and provocative words, Qing'er slowly changed from a lady's small mouth to a wolfish one, so much so that she stuck a fishbone in her mouth, and it took a long time to get it out.

"Okay, it's your turn!" Qing'er wiped her mouth and handed the bowl to Lu Jin.Lu Jin took the bowl, and then wiped out the remaining fish soup, but after eating, his stomach was still empty, but Lu Jin had no choice, there was only so much food at home, so he could only endure Go!

"Qing'er, what task did you just say? You can get money after you finish it, right?" Lu Jin asked, remembering what Qing'er said just now.

"Yes, I will give you silver taels when you finish!"

"What's that for? Is it too much silver?"

"You only told me that it was a mission, and you didn't tell me anything else, so Qing'er is not too clear about it, but you can get three or five taels of silver every time, which is enough for a month's expenses if you save it!" Qing'er licked the soup on her lips, and replied unhurriedly.

After hearing this, Lu Jin was a little puzzled. What kind of "task" is so mysterious that even my little sister Qing'er doesn't know?When Lu Jin was thinking about the mission, there were a few rhythmic crisp sounds from the rooms, and then an old voice asked, "Is anyone home?"

Qing'er seemed very happy when she heard the voice, she immediately stood up and replied: "There is someone, wait a minute, I will open the door for you immediately!" Then she ran over, opened the door, and walked in a fat old man. After a while, he came to me.

"This is Uncle Song, the housekeeper of the 'Jiningtang'!" Qing'er was afraid that I would not remember, so she took the initiative to introduce me, as a reminder, "Uncle Song, brother just woke up, and I don't remember something clearly. , you have to worry about it, I’m going out first, you guys talk slowly!” Like a well-trained soldier, Qing’er hurriedly left the room after she finished speaking, and disappeared without a trace after closing the door.

"I didn't expect you to come back to life, what a blessing!" Uncle Song said leisurely while pinching his gray beard on his chest.

Lu Jin was a little angry when he heard this, and thought: What?It's right for me to die, but it's wrong to live?But before Lu Jin could open his mouth, Uncle Song said in a very stern tone: "It's your luck that you didn't die this time, even if you die, you will have more than enough guilt. You can't even complete such a simple task as practicing boxing with children. What do you say?" Do you still have the face to bear the title of 'Assassin'?"

"Assassin" What "Assassin"?Hearing this name, Lu Jin felt a little dizzy, thinking how he said I was an "assassin". Before Lu Jin could figure it out, Uncle Song said again:

"It's been ten years since I brought you into the 'Jining Hall', but in the past ten years, have you ever done anything decent? It doesn't matter if you can't learn the skills well, but you still have to be competitive, and the result... ...I have completely lost my old face, and the signboard of 'Jining Hall' is about to be destroyed by you. Originally, the hall master wanted to kick you out this time, but I gave up my old face to save you. You How can you be so disingenuous?"

As Uncle Song said, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped Lu Jin hard.Lu Jin was a little annoyed, he hadn't figured out the assassin's question before, and he got slapped for no reason, which was more wronged than Dou E.

"Why hit me? What assassin?" Lu Jin asked angrily.

"Are you really confused or not? Don't you know that you are an assassin?" Song Bo asked suspiciously.

"Huh? What about 'Ji Ning Tang'?"

"It seems that you really don't remember anything, and it would be embarrassing to say it. 'Jiningtang' looks like a medical clinic, but its real identity is an assassin's guild!" Uncle Song said impatiently.

Seeing that Lu Jin knew nothing about the past after being injured, Uncle Song calmed down a little, sorted out his emotions, and began to introduce the mysterious profession of the so-called assassin:

It turned out that there were not so many assassins in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was only because more than 20 years ago, after the imperial court suddenly established several guilds specializing in training and training assassins, the industry of assassins sprung up across the country. So far, The National Assassin's Guild has eight hundred if not one thousand.

Assassins are divided into Wen Assassins and Wu Assassins. The so-called Wen Assassins mainly carry out lurking and undercover operations, and the so-called Wu Assassins mainly carry out assassinations and escorts. The guild will send different Assassins to complete according to different tasks.But whether it is a literary assassin or a martial assassin, he must have extremely high martial arts skills to be competent!

Assassins have a wide range of missions. The small ones are housekeepers and nurses, and children; the big ones are assassinating guards and stealing treasures.As for the rank of the assassin, it is relatively broad. Basically, the ranks are divided within the guild where the assassin belongs. Different ranks of assassins will be assigned different nameplates. The more expensive the material of the nameplate, the higher the rank of the assassin!But the ability of an assassin not only depends on the nameplate, but also depends on the guild he is in. An assassin in some guilds may have a low level, but they may become very high in another guild, and vice versa!

"Okay, I won't talk so much nonsense with you. The more I talk, the more angry I become. Now there is a task, and there is really no manpower. I strongly recommend the hall master to let you try it. Can you go?" Uncle Song Said slowly.

Lu Jin didn't reply, he covered his face with one hand, and looked at him with resentful eyes.

"This time is a high-level task. After the task is completed, you will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. This is an advance payment of ten taels of silver. If you accept it, you can take it first, and if you don't accept it, forget it!" Song Bo said lightly.

100 taels is an astronomical figure for Lu Jin who has no food to eat. Even [-] taels can cover the lives of his siblings for two months. If you don't give money, you'd be a fool.So, he nodded vigorously, and began to feel that the old man in front of him was quite cute, and the two slaps he received didn't hurt so much anymore.

"Well, you take the ten taels first, and go to the east gate at the second watch, and someone will meet you there, and they will tell you the specific tasks on the way, so you can do it yourself!" Uncle Song threw the ten taels of silver to As soon as I turned around, I flicked my sleeves and went out.

Lu Jin didn't care about Uncle Song at all, but hurriedly took the ten taels of silver into his hand, weighed it to see if it was enough, thinking: first solve the problem of food and clothing, this time we can have enough food.

At this time, Qing'er came in from outside the house, looked at the silver tael in Lu Jin's hand, opened her small mouth enough to stuff a big apple into it.So, Lu Jin talked about Uncle Song's gift of money, but he omitted the assassin, and replaced it with a mission and an advance payment.Because at this time, Lu Jin realized why the original guy didn't tell Qing'er that he was an assassin, not to mention the occupational danger, and it was still shameful.Why let this sensible and well-behaved sister worry about it all day long?

When Qing'er heard that Lu Jin was going to travel far away, she was worried about Lu Jin's health, after all, she hadn't fully recovered yet.However, Lu Jin insisted on going. In his opinion, a man is not a man if he cannot support his family.So, at Lu Jin's insistence, Qing'er could only silently agree.Lu Jin gave Qing'er the money and asked her to buy some delicious food. After all, she was leaving at night, so she had to have a good meal no matter what.

After Qing'er went out, Lu Jin lay back on the grass bunk, looked at the hole in the roof and said to himself: "Assassin, I'm actually an assassin. I didn't expect it to be an assassin, but I can survive in this crack of history." Make good use of this special status to create a bright future, at least to live a good life for your family, hehe, I never thought I was an assassin, it's kind of funny!"
