Half a Brick
Chapter 79 Old Hunter
"Aren't you not planning to help me? We're not related. I just know a little about Ding Kan. How could you fight a fierce dog for such a small reward?" Rakshasa Mei looked at me in surprise.
I smiled and said, "Because I'm not a big kid."
"What do you mean?"
"A big kid wouldn't fight a terrifying dog for a piece of candy, because he's no match for the dog. Provoking the dog rashly is very dangerous and could even cost him his life.
"But the same thing is completely different for a hunter who often goes into the mountains. The hunter doesn't necessarily have to eat this piece of candy, but dog meat is still meat. Even if he doesn't care about the kid's reward, killing a dog is still a good meal."
Woof, woof woof, woof woof woof...
A burst of barking came from outside.
Annoyed, I shouted outside, "What are you barking about? I'm just using an example. I didn't say I was going to eat you. Bark again, and believe me, I'll stew you too."
The dogs outside immediately stopped barking.
"See, even vicious dogs are afraid of me. I'm a hunter, not a kid. You should keep that mask to fool others. Those childish tricks are useless in front of an old hunter like me."
Rakshasa Mei blushed and quickly put away the mask.
Rakshasa Mei's cultivation was limited. She was worried that if she used her illusions in front of me for too long, I would see that she wasn't a little girl. So she specially prepared such a mask and made up the story that ghosts also grow up.
The story was indeed quite interesting, but I certainly wouldn't take it as the truth.
"Alright, now tell me where Rakshasa Nv is. I'll go and solve her directly, so you don't have to worry about her rushing into Dog Village to settle scores with you one day."
Rakshasa Mei sighed and said, "I also wish I knew the exact location of Rakshasa Nv, but Qin Tianming has been investigating for so many years and hasn't been able to find out. How could I possibly know?
"I can only sense her aura coming from under the Red Courtyard in the old city, but I don't know exactly where she is in the Red Courtyard.
"The Red Courtyard is a place of all sorts of people. The people who come and go are extremely complicated. There are humble and lowly women, as well as dignitaries who come to seek pleasure. Most importantly, in such a place, few people use their real identities. It's too difficult to investigate things in such a place.
"In case Rakshasa Nv takes some important figures hostage, things will become infinitely complicated."
I nodded, "That's right, Rakshasa Nv is Qin Tianming's obsession. If he could get rid of her, Qin Tianming would have done it long ago. The reason he hasn't done anything is definitely because even he can't clean up the mess after causing trouble in the Red Courtyard."
"That's indeed the case."
"Since it's not a good idea to go directly to the Red Courtyard and kill Rakshasa Nv, do you have a good idea? You should already have a plan, otherwise you wouldn't have gone to Ding Kan. If you have a plan, just say it. If it's really possible to destroy Rakshasa Nv, I'll be very grateful to you," I said seriously.
Rakshasa Mei blushed and lowered her head, saying, "Actually, I don't have any particularly good idea. It's just, just to use myself as bait. Since Rakshasa Nv wants to kill me, then as long as you stay here to protect me, when Rakshasa Nv comes to kill me, you can directly kill her."
I looked at Rakshasa Mei's house again, and also looked at the other houses around.
"There should be quite a few residents buying in this village, right? Do your neighbors have anyone living in them?" I asked.
"There are no people, but there are quite a few ghosts."
I frowned and thought for a while, and said, "It's not impossible to ambush Rakshasa Nv here, but the place is a little small. When the time comes to fight, it will definitely cause trouble for the neighbors. I never like to bother others. How about this, you come back to the funeral shop with me. I'll set up a trap in the funeral shop, and then directly kill that evil ghost in my shop.
"This way, Ding Kan can also watch how Rakshasa Nv dies, which can be considered a wish come true for him."
"Is, is that okay?" Rakshasa Mei's face turned even redder.
I didn't know why she was blushing. I was just inviting her to stay in my shop for a few days temporarily, just to be bait for a few days, and I didn't say I was going to marry her. Why was she blushing?
However, if she blushed, she blushed. It wasn't a big deal, as long as it didn't affect the plan.
After discussing it with Rakshasa Mei, I was ready to leave Dog Village with her.
Hei Ge asked me with a yawn, what was I doing taking a female ghost out of his village? He had all kinds of demons and evil spirits in his shop. Why did I have to pull one away from him? Also, when would I get the thing I promised him done?
I was stunned, "The thing I promised you? What did I promise you?"
"Tch, you little brat, you're trying to pretend, right? What did you say you promised me? Didn't you say this matter has something to do with Peach Blossom Girl?"
"Oh, right, right, I remember, this matter does have something to do with Peach Blossom Girl, it has a big relationship. As long as Peach Blossom Girl is the most beautiful girl in the Red Courtyard, this matter will definitely have something to do with her. Don't worry, Peach Blossom Girl will definitely be very grateful to you. As for how you want her to thank you, it depends on how you communicate with her then."
Hei Ge nodded in satisfaction, "That's good, are you planning to temporarily borrow this little ghost, or are you planning to take her away permanently?"
I was about to say that Rakshasa Mei was just going to stay at my place for a few days, and would come back after the matter was over, when I suddenly saw the bundle on Rakshasa Mei's shoulder.
This bundle seemed a little big, right? She was just going for a few days, did she need to bring such a big bundle? It felt like she was moving out completely.
So, I gave the right to answer the question to Rakshasa Mei.
"Let this beautiful little female ghost decide for herself, whether or not she still wants to come back?"
Hearing me ask this, Rakshasa Mei blushed again, lowered her head, and said in a mosquito-like voice, "I, I'll live in Shopkeeper Wan's shop from now on. Thank you Hei Ge for taking care of me during this time."
Hei Ge looked at me, then looked at Rakshasa Mei.
"You, what do you mean? Are you bullying me for being single?"
Actually, I was also a little surprised. I knew I was good-looking, I was an honest, kind, responsible, and reliable excellent man, I also knew that, but Rakshasa Mei wouldn't have fallen in love with me so quickly, right? Was this a little too fast? I just sat and chatted with her.
I couldn't possibly handle a case and bring a girl back to my shop to live permanently, right? My shop was just that small, where would so many people live?
