Chapter 2 Sister-in-law, open the door!
"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, open the door!"
Under the moonlight, Ye Tian knocked on the snakehead's door and called out softly.
After a while, the old wooden door creaked open a crack, revealing a pretty face peeking out from behind it.
"Who are you?"
His gaze toward Ye Tian was wary.
"Snake Sister-in-law, it's me, Ye Tian. Snakehead sent me."
"Ye Tian?"
Snake Sister frowned slightly, seemingly pondering the name Ye Tian, which she did indeed recall her husband mentioning.
"Sister-in-law Snake, something terrible has happened!"
Without giving the other party a chance to react, Ye Tian said anxiously.
"Tonight, Snakehead Brother led us to steal from Master Zhang's house, but we were discovered by Master Zhang's servants. Snakehead Brother was beaten several times and barely managed to escape. But Master Zhang had already reported it to the authorities, and the soldiers were chasing Snakehead Brother. That's why Snakehead Brother sent me here quietly."
"What?! That's impossible!"
Upon hearing that the snakehead was being chased by government soldiers, Snake Sister instinctively retorted.
But Ye Tian's voice followed immediately.
"Snakehead said he's from the Blackwater Gang. He told you, Snake Sister, to pack up your valuables now, and we'll go get the Blackwater Gang to intervene. That way, he'll be fine."
"this..."
If Snake Sister hadn't believed it before, seeing Ye Tian mention the Blackwater Gang, the wariness in her eyes clearly disappeared by more than half.
The snakehead had only recently joined the Blackwater Gang, and he himself had only just found out; it was impossible for someone unfamiliar with the gang to know.
"Snake Sister-in-law, Snake Head is really a member of the Blackwater Gang! That's great! As long as the Blackwater Gang intervenes, even the government will have to give them face and release him."
Ye Tian's face was full of joy, as if he was happy for the snakehead.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from afar.
Ye Tian's expression changed, and he hurriedly said.
"Snake Sister-in-law, it must be the soldiers chasing Snake Head Brother coming. Let me go inside and hide."
They hurriedly squeezed into the house.
"Keep your noise down."
Although still suspicious, they let Ye Tian in.
The door had just been closed when they heard soldiers running past outside.
"Hurry up, this is the direction."
"Everyone, hurry up and keep up!"
Judging from the footsteps, there were quite a few officers and soldiers.
This was, of course, Ye Tian's doing. He reported to the authorities that people had died in the city, and quite a few of them had died. No matter how indifferent the government was, they had to send someone to check on the situation. It just so happened that they were passing by.
But Sister Snake doesn't think so.
Based on Ye Tian's previous words, Snake Sister-in-law was now completely convinced.
"How is my husband? Is he alright?"
In the heat of the moment, the knife hidden behind his back fell to the ground.
What kind of person could live with a snakehead? Ye Tian had heard of Snake's wife's reputation before; she was even worse than Snake's wife.
I've heard that this Snake Sister has done a lot of things that force women into prostitution; she's committed so many crimes that she deserves to die ten times over.
Up close, Ye Tian could see clearly that Snake Sister-in-law was not only beautiful, but also had an excellent figure.
Without even taking the time to appreciate it, Ye Tian quickly responded.
"I was only hit a few times, and I'm still okay. But the snakehead told me to find someone from the Blackwater Gang, but I don't know who to contact."
"I know that."
Hearing that everyone was alright, Snake Sister felt much relieved.
"My husband mentioned to me that if I encounter any problems, I can just go to Linshui City and find a man named Gao Fei."
Seeing that Ye Tian was able to return to deliver the message under such dangerous circumstances, Snake Sister-in-law was undoubtedly loyal and did not hide anything from him.
"Great! Snake Sister, quickly pack the important things, let's set off tonight!"
Linshui City is dozens of miles away from here. Even if they travel all night, they won't arrive until tomorrow.
"I promised Brother Snakehead that I would protect Sister Snake."
Ye Tian spoke with a serious look in his eyes, as if he was not afraid of dying to protect Snake Sister.
"good!"
Snake's wife trusted him even more.
He quickly went back to the house to tidy up. Watching Snake Sister's back, the anxiety on Ye Tian's face was gradually replaced by a smile.
Just as Snake Sister-in-law placed the packed items on the table and wrapped them in a cloth, Ye Tian's voice suddenly rang out behind her.
"Thank you, Sister-in-law Snake!"
"?"
Thank you? Thank you for what?
next moment!
"Ugh!"
Ye Tian covered Snake Sister's mouth with one hand, and then a dagger plunged into her neck.
"Take a deep breath; dizziness is normal!"
Until the moment of her death, Snake Sister's face was full of disbelief. She ignored the corpse on the ground. Ye Tian looked at the things that Snake Sister had collected. They were all valuable items. All together, they should be worth about fifty or sixty taels.
In addition to the two hundred taels he had on him, and the few coins of silver he had found on those thugs.
With so much money, I can live a carefree life for a long time.
After wiping the blood off the dagger and packing up his valuables, Ye Tian quietly slipped out of the snakehead's house under the moonlight and left the town.
,,,
When they reached the outskirts of the town, Ye Tian didn't rush to continue walking, but instead waited under a tree.
"Big brother!"
"Big brother!"
At this moment, two figures walked over, both burly men with broad shoulders and thick waists, their eyes filled with respect as they looked at Ye Tian.
"Hmm!" Ye Tian simply nodded in response, gazing intently at the small town before him without saying a word.
The two men stood like iron towers, quietly guarding Ye Tian on either side, warily watching their surroundings.
Before long, a hurried sound of footsteps came, and another burly man ran over.
"Big brother."
These three were the initial loyalists rewarded by the system after selection, but they did not suddenly appear in this world; rather, they found him by seeking refuge.
"Well done."
Ye Tian looked satisfied.
When these three loyalists came to him, Ye Tian had one of them report the case to the yamen (government office) and instructed him to make sure the yamen sent someone out.
The local government is used to being lax; if you simply report a case, they won't pay any attention to it.
"It's all what I should do. If it weren't for your kindness in giving us a meal back then, the three of us would have died long ago. From now on, if you ever give us any orders, we will follow you to the death."
The two people next to them also made guarantees.
His eyes were sincere, revealing no false emotions.
In their memory, the three of them almost starved to death back then, and it was only because Ye Tian gave them a meal that they survived until now. Although they didn't know why the three of them who almost starved to death could become so strong now.
All I can say is that the power of the system is just that reasonable.
"Don't worry!" Ye Tian patted one of them on the shoulder and gave him the same assurance.
"From now on, if I can feed you even once, I will never let you go hungry."
Even though they are loyal followers rewarded by the system, they will still get hungry and weak if they don't get enough to eat.
"Big brother!"
The three of them looked moved.
"Let's go, there's no time to lose. Let's set off tonight and arrive in Linshui City before noon tomorrow."
Although I don't think the local authorities will find out about me because of their inaction, it would be safer to get to Linshui City sooner.
None of the three complained, and they immediately followed Ye Tian's footsteps.
