NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 206 Disaster Begins
Seven stewards, please have a seat in the room!
Qin Niu unlocked the door and invited Yan Qi into the house.
Xiao Qing boiled water and prepared kimchi to serve the guests.
Master Qin, I came here to remind you to be more careful these days. Master Mo suddenly died suddenly today, bleeding from his seven orifices. Master Shi is also missing. Our Yan family has reported it to the official.
However, I received news from the government that insect masters have been killed one after another recently.
You must take precautions.
If you can, it would be safer to live in the city. Our Mr. Yan also said that if you don’t have a property in the city, our Yan family can provide you with a property for you to live temporarily.
The Yan family is good at being a good person.
After getting the news, he alerted him immediately and offered to provide Qin Niu with a place to live in the city.
Thank you for your kindness, sir. I can handle it for the time being. I will take more precautions.
Qin Niu knew very well that living in the city seemed safe, but in fact the water in the city was deeper.
Mr. Huang is the deacon of the Nine Chong Gang. He is lurking in Black Tiger City and his true identity has never been discovered. This in itself shows that the Black Tiger Gang has a big problem.
Living in the countryside, Qin Niu was familiar with the terrain. If he was defeated, he could rely on the maze of ancient banyan trees to defend himself against the enemy.
After sending Yan Qi away, he fell into deep thought.
Master Mo Sang's sudden death came too suddenly.
I watched the locusts begin to subside two days ago, and I thought the plague was about to end.
Now it seems that things are far from being as simple as imagined.
Early the next morning, a fast horse galloped into the village.
This is a middle-aged man wearing a black robe, riding a black and brown horse.
It's not a good horse, just much better than an ordinary horse.
Traveling three hundred miles a day is no problem.
May I ask where the insect master Qin Niu lives?
The middle-aged man asked a passing villager.
Uh huh...
The villager gestured and pointed to his mouth.
Qin Niu almost laughed out loud when he saw this scene from a distance.
The person being questioned was none other than his neighbor Wu Si.
This Wu Si usually seems to be afraid of his wife and timid, but unexpectedly he is a bit quick-witted. At this critical moment, he actually pretended to be mute.
Because he didn't know the other party's whereabouts, he didn't dare to reveal Qin Niu's address easily.
It's unlucky to meet a mute!
The middle-aged man cursed and rode forward, only to find that the villagers hid when they saw him.
Who is the chief of your village?
The middle-aged man jumped off his horse, grabbed another villager, and asked him directly.
This villager was Wu San. His eyesight was not very good. He was originally planning to go to the fields to check the crops, but he was unexpectedly caught by the middle-aged man.
It was too late to run away.
The two brothers are also unlucky today.
This happened to me when I went out early in the morning.
Uh-huh-huh...
Wu San's mind was not as flexible as that of his younger brother. He saw that his younger brother pretended to be mute and avoided interrogation, so he imitated his example.
Damn it, why are two of them mute? Show me the way and lead me to Qin Niu or your village chief.
The middle-aged man glared, so frightened that Wu San struggled to escape.
However, Wu San was already on the older side, and this middle-aged man obviously had a good level of cultivation, so he couldn't escape at all.
Believe it or not, I'll hit you?
The middle-aged man raised his fist to scare Wu San.
Wu San's eyes turned white, his head tilted, and he fainted.
The two brothers often quarreled and were well-known live treasures in the village. If Wu San was frightened so easily, he wouldn't have lived to this age.
It's nothing more than pretending to be comatose.
The village chief and Qin Niu already have high prestige in the village. Everyone respects these two people and naturally will not easily disclose their information to outsiders.
Qin Niu hurried over.
Don't hurt innocent people! What do you want from our village chief?
The middle-aged man looked at Qin Niu. Although he was only a young man, he had an extraordinary bearing and indifferent eyes. At first glance, he was not an ordinary country boy.
He didn't dare to be cruel again.
He put Wu San on the ground and then looked at Qin Niu.
I want to find the insect master Qin Niu in your village. I asked two villagers but they refused to tell me where Qin Niu lives. I didn't really plan to hit him just now, just to scare him. I am the guard of the insect master association, and I came here specially. Come and deliver a message to Master Qin Niu.
The middle-aged man turned out to be someone sent by the Insect Master Association.
No wonder it's so brutal.
Can I see your waistband?
Can.
The middle-aged man took off his waist badge and showed it to Qin Niu.
Do you want you to send a letter or a oral message?
letter.
The middle-aged man took out a letter painted with fire paint.
Just leave it to me!
Qin Niu stretched out his hand and said.
This letter must be handed over to Master Qin Niu in person and cannot be forwarded by anyone else.
The middle-aged man refused.
Qin Niu showed a bronze fish charm.
Can you give it to me now?
Ah... you, you just... it's okay. I'm sorry for the offence, and I'll take my leave.
After the middle-aged man saw the name on the fish charm, he realized that the person he was looking for was right in front of him.
After handing the letter to Qin Niu, he bowed, got on his horse, and prepared to leave.
Next time you enter Shuangfeng Village, don't be rude to the villagers, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind.
I was in a hurry to deliver the letter just now. I had no choice but to pay attention next time.
The middle-aged man bowed his hands again and then left.
Qin Niu looked at Wu San, who had awakened on his own.
Wu San, I reward you with this money. You and your brother have done a good job. Qin Niu helped Wu San and rewarded him with ten copper coins.
This is equivalent to a day's wages for ordinary people.
I can't do it, I can't do it.
Wu San waved his hands repeatedly.
Take it and buy a drink. Give Wu Si these ten cents and tell him that I reward him, but don't be greedy.
Thank you, Mr. Qin!
Wu San happily took the money and walked in the direction of Wu Si.
He didn't talk to Wu Si's wife, and he was very afraid of Wu Si's wife.
After all, I fainted several times after being scolded.
Not just pretending to be fainted, but actually being scolded and fainted.
He could only hand over the ten cents reward to Wu Si.
Qin Niu also deliberately created an opportunity for the two brothers to shake hands and make peace.
Some brothers are obviously brothers, but they are like enemies.
They dislike each other and quarrel when they meet.
It's really hard to understand.
In any case, Qin Niu was satisfied with the performance of the two brothers today.
After returning to the house, he opened the letter.
This is a warning letter sent by President Li to the insect masters of the association.
It should be in the name of President Li and copied by the association's staff.
The letter mentioned that the Black Tiger Gang has recently suffered an unprecedented locust plague. After investigation by the Insect Masters Association, it has been determined that there is someone behind it and it is not a natural locust plague.
Many insect masters have been killed recently, including three mid-level insect masters and more than a dozen low-level insect masters.
There are still people missing.
President Li reminded the insect masters to pay attention to safety. If they encounter danger or encounter a suspicious person, they can immediately find a way to seek help and report to the insect master association.
In addition, there is also a recruitment proposal, and all insect masters can sign up.
Join the army directly and help the Black Tiger Gang to resist foreign enemies.
The conditions promised are very generous. You can be promoted to an officer after joining the army, and the monthly salary is as low as five taels of silver. The accumulated military merit can be exchanged at the government for cultivation materials such as exercises, martial arts, equipment, etc.
