Самый глупый в мире

Глава 63

Little Pumpkin cried out, "I'm telling the truth!"

She poured the shelled edamame into a basin, stood up, stretched, and gazed at the misty Dongjiang Lake in the distance. Thinking of the happy and carefree days she had spent with Shu Jun, she couldn't help but smile and whispered, "He's a good person, I know. He's my best friend forever."

My best friend is doomed! Little Pumpkin was so anxious that she scratched her head and racked her brains to think of a way to defeat her by using her master's good points. She couldn't think of any good points after thinking about it, so she couldn't help but complain that Shu Jun had a strange temper. No wonder she always got dumped.

Yichun suddenly pointed to the distant lake and whispered, "Aren't there many boats over there?"

Little Pumpkin looked up and saw, sure enough, many awning fishing boats were sailing towards Doushuai Island in the distance. They were not very clear through the thin mist, but there were definitely quite a few of them.

The fishing boats headed south towards Doushuai Island. Because of the favorable wind, they were extremely fast and reached the shore in the blink of an eye. Countless men in black poured out of the cabins and silently landed on the island.

Little Pumpkin panicked and whispered, "Oh no, Master's not here! Someone must have come to cause trouble for the Giant Xia Gang!"

Yi Chun drew his sword, intending to chase after them to see what was going on, but suddenly remembered Shu Jun's warning before he left. He stopped in his tracks and turned back, saying, "Little Pumpkin, let's row the boat to a more secluded spot so they don't find us."

Chapter Four

Yichun pushed the small boat into the middle of the water plants, and at first glance, no clues could be seen.

Little Pumpkin crouched in the bushes and whispered, "Sister, you must hide well too. I heard from Master that the Yan Clan didn't handle the Jianlan Manor matter well, so they lost their foothold in Xiangxi. Recently, they've been thinking about starting from the surrounding areas. Chenzhou is their first stepping stone, which is why the Juxia Gang was so panicked and spent a lot of money to seek help from a master, asking Master to hold the line for them. If it's the Yan Clan who comes this time, you must be very careful."

Yichun remained silent.

Flames were already rising on the opposite side of the mountain, and shouts were coming one after another, probably because they had caught the Giant Xia Gang off guard.

Little Pumpkin added, "That's good too. With the Juxia Gang destroyed, Young Master Yang's revenge is complete. Sister won't have to travel the world alone, which is too dangerous."

He waited for a long time, but Yichun still didn't say anything. He couldn't help but turn around to look, only to see her staring blankly at the flames and smoke rising in the distance, with a strange expression, as if she was staring intently.

He was somewhat startled and whispered, "Sister?"

Yichun murmured, "In the end, I still couldn't do even one thing for him."

She was referring to Yang Shen.

Although Little Pumpkin was unconvinced, she kept thinking about Yang Shen and saying that Yang Shen was no match for her master. But he was no longer alive, so there was no point in saying anything more.

Moreover, there were tears glistening in her eyes.

He quickly told a joke: "If Young Master Yang encounters members of the Juxia Gang on his way to the underworld, he will definitely push them off the Bridge of Helplessness. That scene would be quite amusing."

Yi Chun smiled faintly, the sorrow in her eyes vanishing completely, and said softly, "He's reunited with his family now, and he won't be thinking about revenge anymore."

"That's right, that's right. Young Master Yang is very clever. Who knows, he might become a high-ranking official in the underworld. When we meet again, we can still hope he'll pull some strings..."

The little pumpkin was talking nonsense.

Just as he was speaking animatedly, Yichun shoved his head down: "Shut up!"

Four or five men dressed in black emerged from behind the rocks, carrying gleaming swords stained with blood. They moved slowly, glancing around cautiously and using their weapons to part the grass and bushes to check for anyone hiding among them.

Yichun hugged the little pumpkin and slowly backed away, silently slipping into Dongjiang Lake and hiding her body behind the small boat.

A man in black glanced over and then turned back, saying, "This is the lake; there shouldn't be anyone here."

Someone else said from behind, "Be careful! Don't let half of the Juxia Gang escape, or the Second Young Master and Young Master Mo will definitely be furious."

The man spat, "Of course we listen to the Second Young Master! What is that guy surnamed Mo? He dares to climb all over us! Before, he relied on Jianlan Manor and was treated like a dog by the Young Master. He didn't even have the demeanor of a human being! Now that the manor is gone, he's shamelessly trying to curry favor. He used to act all high and mighty in front of us. Who respects him? If you ask me, the Second Young Master is too soft-hearted. This kind of scum should have been chopped in two along with his cowardly old man!"

Yichun's hand trembled involuntarily, and she almost dropped the little pumpkin.

Then I heard someone shout, "There's a boat here!"

She heard rustling footsteps approaching, took a deep breath, and submerged herself underwater. The voices above became indistinct and she could no longer hear them.

The boat was knocked twice and then pushed away. Several people lay on the water and observed for a while, but couldn't figure out anything. They assumed it was a boat that the Juxia Gang had kept for escape. They smashed the pots and pans inside to pieces before chatting and laughing as they walked away.

Yichun quickly surfaced, tossed the little pumpkin onto the boat, and then climbed aboard herself, whispering, "We need to get out of here right away!"

Little Pumpkin wrung out the water droplets from his sleeve and muttered, "They really are from the Yan Clan! Why would Master suddenly leave at such a critical moment? How strange..."

Yi Chun rowed the boat silently, and the small boat slowly drifted away from Doushuai Island against the wind. They had not gone far when they suddenly saw another group of men in black rushing out from behind the rocks. The one in the lead was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit and had handsome features. It was none other than Mo Yunqing, whom they had not seen for a long time.

Seeing that things were going badly, the little pumpkin rolled into the cabin and refused to come out no matter what.

Yi Chun dropped the oar and scrambled inside. When she looked up, she saw Mo Yunqing staring at her blankly for a moment before turning his head away, as if to pretend he hadn't seen her. Meanwhile, he said calmly to the man in black behind him, "Someone has checked this place. There's no suspicious person. Let's go check the front."

She felt a slight sense of relief: this person still had some conscience after all.

However, the men in black seemed unconvinced by him, and one of them immediately pointed at the boat and shouted, "There's a boat there! The Giant Xia Gang has escaped!"

Mo Yunqing said, "Those aren't from the Juxia Gang. They're my subordinates who I placed on the other side of the lake, delivering things for me."

Since he was trying to conceal it, Yichun had no choice but to cover her face and row the boat back to shore. She then wrapped a package in a rag and handed it to him with a complicated expression, pretending to be delivering a message.

Mo Yunqing lowered her head and took the package, then suddenly whispered, "Leave quickly!"

Yichun glanced at him, unsure of what to say, and slowly rowed the boat away again amidst the suspicious gazes of the men in black.

The small boat traveled against the wind, moving very slowly. After rounding the mountain rocks, one could see a forest fire raging and the shore littered with corpses, lined up neatly in rows, which must have been the members of the Giant Xia Gang.

The Yan Clan usually expands its power through roundabout and covert methods, but this is the first time they have openly and blatantly committed mass killings like this.

Little Pumpkin had rarely seen such a cruel and bloody scene. His face turned pale, and he said softly, "Fortunately, Master left first. If we really had to fight head-on... we couldn't be with these lunatics!"

Yi Chun nodded silently. In the world of martial arts, those involved are often unaware of the conflicts of interest. To outsiders, it's like a pack of mad dogs biting indiscriminately.

She had also thought about helping Yang Shen realize his wish for revenge, but now, seeing the corpses of the Juxia Gang piled up in rows and burned by the men in black, with thick smoke billowing into the sky, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
