After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

It started raining again during the night.

The shadows of the trees outside the window swayed, and the anxious neighing of horses frightened by thunder and lightning came from the stables downstairs.

The lantern outside the door of the posthouse was suddenly extinguished by a gust of wind and rain, and the only square inch of heaven and earth that shone with warm light in the rainy night was instantly plunged into darkness.

If you are at home, on such a rainy day, protected by thick tiles and high walls, people living in the shelter will have a particularly strange feeling of comfort and peace of mind.

But this is during the journey. Outside the inn, within a radius of five miles, there is a barren mountain wilderness. The heavy rain will only make people uneasy.

A bolt of silver lightning struck down, illuminating the dark room for a moment.

One black and one white, two figures are fully revealed in the bright light.

For a moment, their eyes met. The woman in white clothes lazily leaned on the bed curtains and curled her lips with a disdainful smile.

The silver blade in the man's hand trembled for a moment, then stabbed him mercilessly!

Qin Yao turned aside slightly and raised her hand, seemingly carelessly, but in fact, she quickly and accurately grasped the waving bowl.

Her slender fingers were as if they were cast by hot iron. Not only was it impossible to break free after grabbing her, but it also had the power to burn the muscles, bones, skin and flesh.

You are so dedicated. You have to go out to perform tasks in such a rain tonight. She whispered, and grabbed the other hand of the man in black.

Clamping it with both hands and pulling it down, there was a sound of brittle bones.

A scream almost escaped, disturbing the benefactor who was sleeping uneasily on the bed.

Qin Yao frowned, let go of the two arms, grabbed the opponent's throat, and without a trace of hesitation, twisted it off!

When the man in black fell to the ground, she stretched out her feet to catch him, put it aside, and quickly caught the dagger that the man in black had just taken out, and was about to hit the ground.

After doing this, he looked back at the benefactor who was still sleeping on the bed, and secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Using people's money to eliminate disasters, which donor can withstand such a high sense of service?

Qin Yao proudly lifted the strands of hair stuck to her temples, straightened the body of the man in black, collected some murderous good things, and quietly evacuated.

Before leaving, he closed the window that had been pried open by the man in black and wiped off the muddy watermarks on the window sill.

He was even considerate enough to lift up the man in black's clothes and cover his face to prevent the benefactor from being frightened when he got up in the morning.

As for why the body was not disposed of, Qin Yao shrugged, because that was another price!

The rain became heavier and heavier, and in the middle of the night, the sound of running water could be heard from downstairs of the post house. Those who didn't know better thought they lived in the middle of the river.

However, the advantages of living in a post station were also reflected at this time. The post Cheng and the post soldiers were afraid that the rain would flood the post station in the middle of the night, so they put on their clothes all night to clear it.

The business travelers who were resting next to the inn also sent their manpower, and everyone worked together to save the inn.

The heavy rain at night did not stop until dawn.

I just felt sorry for the passers-by. After the road was washed away by heavy rain, it became muddy and slippery. Cars, horses, people and animals could not move normally, so they had no choice but to stay in the post house.

Thinking of everyone's friendship to save the inn in the middle of the night, Yi Cheng opened the door so that these passers-by could have a dry place to stay.

Jin Dou woke up amidst the noise in the lobby of the inn.

In the first half of last night, his stomach rang for a long time due to diarrhea, and he didn't sleep well.

In the middle of the night, the fatigue accumulated over the past few days came up, and I fell into a deep sleep. I didn't even hear the people downstairs trying to clear the heavy rain.

And because Qin Yao specifically told people not to disturb her family's financial owner from catching up on his sleep, Jin Dou didn't wake up until the sun was high.

After being exposed to the sun all morning, the muddy ground has improved. The merchants who had stopped in the post house are preparing to reload their goods. They will set off under the sun and hurry up to go as far as they can.

Therefore, it is very chaotic and noisy.

Jin Dou felt the warm sunlight coming in from the window and falling on the bed tent. His body, which had been uncomfortable for many days, improved greatly, and he stretched out comfortably.

After lying on the bed for a while, all kinds of chaotic information flooded into my mind, my idle thoughts disappeared, and I sat up.

He lowered his head to put on his shoes, and suddenly caught a glimpse of darkness from the corner of his eye, and paused.

When he saw the corpse clearly, Jin Dou would have screamed in horror if it weren't for the subconscious calm reaction he had learned over the years.

Just as he was frightened, there was a gentle knock on the door.

Liu Ji stood outside the door and greeted in a low voice: Brother Jin, are you awake? Lunch is ready. We are waiting for you downstairs to have lunch together.

Hearing the movement in the house, Liu Ji continued: My wife told me that the sun will be strong at noon. Let's set off after lunch. The road should be easy to walk. If we walk faster, we should be able to reach the next one before the sun sets. Station.

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly he remembered that there was still a detail that he had not explained, so he turned around and pressed it against the door to prepare.

The door to the room suddenly opened with a bang!

Liu Ji almost subconsciously raised his hands to protect his head and face, then took a big step back and almost shouted Madam, please calm down.

At the critical moment, I suddenly remembered that I was not asking the evil woman who was lying in bed to get up. Why was she so panicked? !

Ahem! Liu Ji put down his hands protecting his face in embarrassment, patted the wrinkles on his clothes, smiled and looked at Jin Dou at the door: Brother Jin, we're going downstairs for lunch.

By the way, my wife said that it will rain heavily these days and nights, so there is no need to rush in the morning. We can wait until lunch before setting off, which will make the journey easier.

But the arrival date in Kaiyang County will be two days later.

Jin Dou nodded when he heard this, and at the same time glanced into the room. The body of the man in black was neatly placed in the middle of the guest room, facing the door.

So, is Liu Ji in front of him blind?

Jin Dou pointed at the corpse in the room, frowned and asked, Didn't Mr. Liu see it?

Liu Ji glanced into the room and said Oh very calmly, I saw it, so are you satisfied with our service?

Jin Dou almost gritted his teeth and said these four words: Xiang, Dang, Man, Yi.

He also said sincerely that it would be better if the couple could not put the body in front of them and dispose of it perfectly.

Liu Ji seriously stretched out his hand and rubbed it with his fingertips, My wife said, this is another price.

People had to bow their heads under the eaves. Jin Dou took a deep breath and gave the price of five taels of silver for burying a body.

Liu Jijun raised his eyebrows and immediately patted his chest to ensure that he didn't need to worry about the next thing.

With some suspicion, Jin Dou went downstairs to have dinner with Song Yu first.

When he was done eating, he saw Qin Yao and Liu Ji, one carrying a hoe and the other carrying a shovel, coming back from outside talking and laughing.

Jin Dou immediately went upstairs to check and found that the body was no longer there.

He ran downstairs again with a bit of surprise, and the couple, who had already served the table and finished their meal, gave him a reassuring smile: We are professionals in burying corpses!

Jin Dou couldn't help feeling that this small Kaiyang County was actually a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
