Pig Killer

Chapter 269

Shen Hui'e slept until the afternoon, when the waiter brought her dinner.

Shen Changsheng looked at the waiter curiously and asked, "Is there anything new?"

"Yes, yes! Didn't it thunder yesterday?" the waiter said with a look of horror on his face.

"Did it thunder? How come I didn't know about it?" Shen Changsheng looked at the waiter in confusion.

"Maybe Mr. Shen was too noisy in the casino and didn't hear it." The waiter said respectfully.

"It's not good to have thunder today." Shen Changsheng said to the waiter with a raised eyebrow.

"Who says it's not true?" The waiter said sympathetically, "Thunder in winter means thieves are everywhere. It's a bad sign." He lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the military camp outside the city was struck by lightning."

"Is this true?" Shen Changsheng glanced at his second sister and said in surprise.

"The barracks are on fire. The fire is so big that it has burned the sky red." The waiter exclaimed, "It's so scary."

"Is anyone injured?" Shen Changsheng asked with concern.

"No, we were still awake! When the fire started, we all came out to put it out." The waiter said hurriedly, "Fortunately, the fire was put out in time and no major damage was caused."

"Why was he struck by lightning out of nowhere?" Shen Hui'e asked out of deliberate curiosity.

"Yes! Why did they chop it there?" Shen Changsheng blinked curiously and looked at the waiter and asked, "Is this barracks as tall as our Zuixian Tower?"

"No, no, our Zuixianlou is the tallest building in the city." said the waiter proudly.

Shen Hui'e looked at them with her inky black eyes and said, "It thundered yesterday, but it didn't rain or snow, and the sky was full of stars. It's really weird."

"Yes! Yes!" The waiter nodded hurriedly, "I went out to see it. The thunder was so loud that it shook the earth and mountains. It was very scary! The lightning was thicker than my..." He gestured to his waist and said, "Thicker than my waist."

"Really? False?" Shen Changsheng said in surprise, glancing at his second sister.

"Really, really, it's a bolt from the blue." The waiter said with lingering fear.

"Is this thunder so strange?" Shen Changsheng said in surprise, "Is this a hint from heaven?"

"What can I say? It's being rumored everywhere that they have committed too many sins and God is punishing them!" The waiter said, looking at them with a pale face.

Shen Hui'e curled the corners of her lips slightly when she heard this. It would be great if she could scare those beasts like this.

"If you don't do bad things in your life, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door at night." Shen Changsheng smiled and said to the waiter, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

"Yeah! I'm not afraid." The waiter said with a guilty conscience, secretly reflecting on himself that he shouldn't be too harsh on those women.

What happened in the military camp? This is an open secret, and everyone knows that this may be a warning from God.

"Enjoy your meal," the waiter said, bowing respectfully. Suddenly, he said, "Mr. Huang is not here!"

"Ah! My husband is visiting a friend." Shen Hui'e said gently, "I don't think he will be back in the next few days."

"Oh!" the waiter responded with a smile, "Enjoy your meal, both of you." He then led the women back.

"The barracks was on fire, why didn't you tell me?" Shen Changsheng lowered his voice and asked, "You are not hurt!"

"No, the firewood room was struck by lightning and the fire was put out in time. It's not as exaggerated as the waiter said, that the sky was burned red." Shen Hui'e said in a low voice.

"I'm so scared." Shen Changsheng let out a sigh and asked curiously, "Why is there thunder?"

"They have committed too many sins, and God can't stand it anymore, so he struck them down!" Shen Hui'e said with cold eyes.

"Why don't you just kill them with a chop?" Shen Changsheng said with gritted teeth, "God has opened his eyes, why can't he do it thoroughly?"

Shen Hui'e's mouth twitched when she heard this, and she finally said, "Maybe God is merciful, maybe he wants the victim to kill the enemy himself!"

"I will." Shen Changsheng looked at her firmly and said, picking up the chopsticks, "Let's eat."

After eating and drinking, Shen Changsheng looked at his second sister and said, "It's getting dark, do you want to continue sleeping or go to the casino with me?"

"You are addicted to this." Shen Hui'e said to him with raised eyebrows.

"They're waiting outside! It's so cold, we can't let them down." Shen Changsheng nodded his chin towards the downstairs.

"I'm not going. Be careful." Shen Hui'e thought for a moment and said, "I'll take advantage of the night to look somewhere else."

"You still want to go out?" Shen Changsheng looked at her worriedly and said.

"I came and went in a hurry last time, but now I have time to observe carefully." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her deep and clear eyes.

"Then you have to be careful." Shen Changsheng looked at her with concern.

"Don't worry!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her gentle eyes and said, "You should be careful, the casino is full of good and bad people."

"For the sake of money, they won't let anyone cause trouble for me." Shen Changsheng chuckled.

Shen Changsheng spent some time in the casino, trying to break even, and used the rest of the time to find out how many servants the rich families in the city had.

Shen Hui'e wandered around the city during the day, and visited the county magistrate's mansion at night. She got to know all his guards and searched the mansion thoroughly inside and out.

The county magistrate's mansion is full of revelry every night, and they are not afraid of dying of exhaustion.

The barracks outside the city were much quieter because of the lightning strike and fear of punishment from God.

Five days later, Huang Zhongchang appeared in front of them, exhausted.

"Eat first and don't say anything." Shen Hui'e looked at him gently and said.

"Okay!" Huang Zhongchang said with a smile.

Shen Hui'e called the waiter and asked him to prepare the meal quickly.

"Do you want to take a shower first?" Shen Hui'e turned around and looked at him and said.

"I'm going to take a shower first." Huang Zhongchang looked down at his dusty body and said, "I've taken too many showers. It would be awkward if I don't take a shower now."

"Wait a moment, I'll get you some clean clothes." Shen Hui'e walked to the kang and handed him the bag of clothes.

Huang Zhongchang picked up his bag and went to the bathhouse.

"I heard that my brother-in-law is back." Shen Changsheng ran over and said.

"I asked him to take a shower. I also arranged the food and it will be served soon." Shen Hui'e sat down gracefully, stroking the clothes at her side.

"How was this trip? What did you gain?" Shen Changsheng asked anxiously.

"I haven't asked yet!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright black eyes and said, "Don't worry, it won't be too late to ask after you're full."

"Okay then!" Shen Changsheng had no choice but to say after hearing this.

The food was served and Huang Zhongchang walked in, covered in moisture.

"Brother-in-law, eat first. We'll talk after you're full." Shen Changsheng greeted him warmly.

"The wontons have soup and water, and they keep you warm." Shen Hui'e pointed at the big bowl of wontons and said, "There are also steamed buns, pickled side dishes, and fried meat sauce." She smiled and said, "Is that enough? If not, we can order more."

"That's enough, that's enough." Huang Zhongchang said with a smile, looking up at them and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"We've eaten." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright black eyes.

"Eat some more." Huang Zhongchang looked at them gently and said.

"No, eat quickly!" Shen Hui'e picked up the teapot warming on the small fire and said, "We will drink water with you." She poured a cup of hot water for herself and her elder brother.

"Then I'll eat it." Huang Zhongchang picked up the bun and chopsticks and started to eat without slurping.

"Just eat slowly and listen." Shen Hui'e drooled slightly and said slowly, "When you were away for a few days, I wandered around the city during the day, looking for sniper spots, and went to explore the county magistrate's mansion at night." She explained the information she had obtained in detail, and used her index finger to dip in water to draw a floor plan of Hezhong Prefecture on the wooden table.

Pointed to the streets and locations where key defenses should be deployed!

Huang Zhongchang, holding a bun in his mouth, looked at her in disbelief.

"Eat! If you have anything to say, talk after you finish eating." Shen Hui'e looked at him with warm eyes.

"I've been playing in the casino these days, and I've basically gotten to know all the prodigal sons of the rich families in the city." Shen Changsheng smiled as he looked at him, gloating over his misfortune, "Every family has its own problems, and there are many unfilial descendants."

"Just listen." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her clear and bright eyes.

Huang Zhongchang ate more quickly while slurping his food.

"Slow down, no one is competing with you." Shen Hui'e looked at him with amusement.

"Am I eating too loudly?" Huang Zhongchang sipped the soup from his mouth and said to them embarrassedly.

"This proves that the food is delicious." Shen Hui'e said to him with a smile in her bright dark eyes.

Huang Zhongchang's black eyes flickered when he heard this, and he looked at her and said embarrassedly, "I'm not like this normally. I'm just in a hurry today."

"I understand!" Shen Hui'e nodded with a smile.

Huang Zhongchang ate up all the food on the table like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Huang Zhongchang raised the back of his hand to wipe his mouth, "You guys haven't been idle these days!"

"Of course." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her shiny black eyes and said, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

"Night visit? No one discovered us." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with concern.

"Even if I was discovered, I can still be in front of you!" Shen Hui'e said to him with raised eyebrows.

Huang Zhongchang moved his mouth, his eyes fell on his elder brother-in-law and said, "Eldest brother-in-law went to the casino."

"Yes! I learned a lot of new secrets of noble families. It's really messy and eye-opening." Shen Changsheng exclaimed, "It looks bright and beautiful on the surface, but it's already rotten inside." He pursed his lips and said, "I now know that men can also be so talkative."

Shen Hui'e chuckled and shook her head, "Gossip is human nature, regardless of gender."

"Hehe..." Huang Zhongchang smiled and shook his head when he heard that.

"What about you?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright black eyes and asked, "What did you gain?"

Huang Zhongchang suppressed the smile on his face and looked at them seriously and said, "The countryside can no longer be suppressed."

"How can you say that they are going to rebel?" Shen Hui'e said to him with raised eyebrows.

"That's right, we can't live like this anymore." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with cold eyes.
