Chapter 17
The waning moon is like a hook, reflected in the water.

A lone boat made ripples, breaking the tranquility of the moon.

Lonely boat docked.

The boatman bent his waist and tied the rope to the pier of the pier: "Girl, we're here."

Ling Xi was wrapped in a black cloak and got off the boat cautiously.

"I must have a broken brain to agree to do this for him!"

The cold wind hit her, and she shivered. She abandoned all thoughts and concentrated her mind.

"Steady, steady, let's see how my [-]th-level acting skills shine!"

According to the original text, before Qian Shizhong found his wife and children, he hid at the dock and worked hard, pulling strings and fishing boats.

She came to the hut where the trackers lived, and when she was hesitating how to call someone, a tracker who had woken up from the night happened to come out and saw a beautiful figure standing at the door of the hut, and screamed in fright.

"Girl, hey, come and see, there is a girl here..."

Where did this girl come from in the middle of the night?
The trackers were completely sleepless, and they got up energetically one by one, standing or sitting, looking at her curiously.

Ling Xi's eyes swept over everyone.

[With so many people, I wonder if Qian Shizhong is here? 】

The trackers all looked at her, but no one responded.

[It’s a pity that his wife and children are about to die, but they won’t be able to see him for the last time. 】

Just as he finished his thoughts, a burly figure in the corner jumped up.

He is very tall, about 1.9 and a half meters tall, with strong muscles, broad shoulders and wide waist, which fits the description of the person implicitly showing loyalty in the original text.

It should be him.

However, Qian Shizhong just stood there, his facial features hidden in the darkness, his expression unclear, and he didn't speak.

Ling Xi pretended not to know anything and was still writing a short composition in her mind.

[Qian shows loyalty, Qian shows loyalty, I tried my best, but you are unlucky. 】

[I'm sorry for your precious son, he's confused because of high fever and he's still calling for daddy. 】

[Heaven and man are separated forever, let’s just say goodbye! 】

【…】

While she was writing a short composition in her heart, she turned and walked towards the dock.

Qian Shizhong's hands clenched into fists alertly.

When he first heard his name, he thought someone from the government was chasing him. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a strange and strange girl.

The girl obviously didn't say anything, but he seemed to have heard everything.

Thinking of the safety of his wife and children, Qian Shizhong didn't care about anything else, so he immediately got up and chased after him.

As soon as he moved, other trackers followed him like flies.

"What are you doing?" He stopped immediately with a gloomy black face.

"Hey, big man, what are you talking about? I will do whatever you do. We are all men and we understand each other tacitly."

"She is a big girl. She ran to a group of men's houses in the middle of the night and left without saying a word. She knew nothing about hooking up like this."

"Big man, we won't fight with you. You can eat meat, but we can drink soup!"

"..."

No one knew Qian Shizhong's name, they just called him Big Man. He was so powerful with his fists and kicks that none of the trackers on the pier could be his opponent.

No one dares to argue with him about eating meat.

Unexpectedly, Qian Shizhong didn't even intend to let them drink the soup.

"Get out! Get out of here!"

He roared and stamped his foot, and the ground shook three times. The already shaky thatched house made a "click" sound, and a pillar broke, and the entire thatched house collapsed.

Everyone looked at each other instantly.

"Since you can't sleep, just build a house. If anyone dares to follow me, don't blame me for breaking his legs."

The threat of Qian Shizhong frightened everyone, and they trotted into the night and finally saw the beautiful figure on the boat at the pier.

Ling Xi sat at the stern of the boat, warming soju on the small stove in front of her.

"Girl, did you lure me here on purpose?"

"Why do you say that? There are so many people there, but I just stood there and no one else responded. Why are you the only one who plays more?" Ling Xi sat indifferently, without even raising his eyes. "But you clearly..." Qian Shizhong suddenly shut up and swallowed the unnecessary words.

indeed.

She didn't speak from the beginning to the end, she just stood there like a goddess under the moon, standing silently.

[Is he implicitly loyal? 】

[Sure enough, it’s interesting, he actually knew that I was looking for him. 】

【…】

If we lose our horses, we can't know what a blessing is.

Being able to read people's minds can sometimes become her "golden finger" if used properly.

She would let the other party listen to whatever they wanted to hear.

[But, how should I tell him about his wife and children? 】

Ling Xi raised her eyes leisurely, looked at Qian Shizhong "curiously", and used her eighteenth-level acting skills to instill some "little thoughts" into Qian Shizhong by using the bug of "being read".

Qian Shizhong suppressed the trembling in his heart, sat down opposite her boldly, poured himself a glass of hot wine, and raised his glass.

"I'm showing my loyalty below."

【It’s really him! 】

On the surface, Ling Xi was slightly surprised: "Are you... the latent number one scholar?"

"No. [-] pick? Miss, please stop mocking me," Qian Shizhong took a sip of hot wine and said in a low voice, "I wonder which family the girl is from? Who do you want to kill when you come to Qian in the middle of the night? How much is the price?"

"Do you often get paid to kill people?"

"There is nothing I can do about the business of making ends meet, but I have three principles. First, do not kill upright officials. Second, do not kill women and children. Third, do not kill innocent people. Who do you want me to kill, girl?"

"I haven't decided yet, let's make an appointment first. This is the deposit." Ling Xi placed a silver lock in front of Qian Shizhong.

【He should know him! 】

"This is..." Qian Shizhong picked up the silver lock with trembling hands several times and stroked it carefully.

This is the silver lock he tied with his own hands when his son was born. Although it is rough, it carries his full father's love and expectations.

[Sure enough, we know each other, so that’s easy to handle. 】

Ling Xi narrowed her eyes: "No. 13, Chengyuan Street, your wife and children are there. Don't worry, they are all fine."

Qian Shizhong couldn't wait to jump ashore, ran two steps and came back, clasping his fists and bowing: "Girl, I will repay you for your kindness."

"I'll wait for you here at sunrise tomorrow."

"it is good!"

He ran away, and the boatman said hoarsely: "Girl, are you sure he will come back?"

"He will," Ling Xi took a sip of hot wine and said, "This is the character."

Qian Shizhong is Wen Zhong's most difficult male partner, no one else.

After he killed the tyrant, he became a knife in the hands of the heroine's sister, but in the end he died unjustly in the hands of his own people.

This person is loyal, gentle, single-minded and committed.

A promise!
After receiving his promise, Ling Xi felt that half of her head was saved.

Unsurprisingly.

Before dawn the next day, Qian Shizhong came running out of breath.

After meeting, Ling Xi didn't say anything, took him into a carriage and went straight to the North City Gate.

"Girl, where are we going?"

"Pick up someone."

The tyrant said that he had arranged for a confidant who would accompany them to Shiliang River to resolve the disaster relief matter, but he did not say who this confidant was. He only said that he would meet him at the North City Gate.

At five o'clock in the morning, the city gate opens.

Among the bustling crowd, a man wearing a pine needle green robe stood out.

He has a tall figure, cold white complexion, beautiful appearance, and an indescribable laziness about him.

But Ling Xi looked at him as if he had seen a ghost: "Isn't he a confidant? Why is it you? Also, didn't you say that you can't come out... or something like that? Why did you come in person?"
