Chapter 26: Past Live [4]

Translator: Xah

Xiao Liu didn’t know the escaped man. According to what he said, he wanted to act in the middle of the night, didn’t expecting to kill the other party. He was afraid of being cut off in the middle of the way by that person, only then he put forth his hands. He just didn’t expect the other person to be very good.

Xiao Liu did not know who was behind the news.

Li Shu stunned Xiao Liu and tied him in the hotel. The three of them drove all night; their whereabouts had been revealed. This Hotel and even the county were not safe for them to stay.

“The people behind the news are really hateful. He had no power to go out and someone came forward to grab the bead for him.” Zhang Qiu snorted and naturally thought of the people behind Jin LaoDa, who was bound to get the bead in Xiangxi from Jin LaoDa. He was afraid that the people behind Jin LaoDa had let the news go.

Now the water had been muddled up, and the road to Shandong had a lot of obstacles.

Li Shu drove on the highway, and did not adjust the navigation. He looked for an exit and got off the highway. It’s a small town. Zhang Qiu saw it’s already twelve o’clock. Li Shu parked the car directly in the sparse woods of the countryside, covered by the night, and the three were planning to make do with it for tonight.

By about 6 a.m., Li Shu drove into town and they had a casual breakfast. Zhang Qiu bought water and food and they continued on the road.

“There’s a car tailing behind.”

Li Shu turned left and pulled into an auxiliary lane. Zhang Qiu turned around and looked back. Then a subcompact car followed. There were supposed to be four people behind the windshield. They couldn’t be seen through the film from outside. The people in car behind them didn’t know they were found out.

“What should we do now?”

“Sit tight.”

The voice of Li Shu just dropped, their car rushed forward, and the car behind accelerated. There was not much traffic on the streets of the town in the early morning. There was no traffic at all to stop them. That driver was driving very close from behind.

They could not get rid of it.

“Uniform speed.” Pixian Hui Wang suddenly said from the backseat.

Li Shu slowed the car down, the accelerated car behind crashed on, and Pixian Hui Wang opened the window, a cold light flashed in his hands. It was very quick, Zhang Qiu had not seen what it was, but it had already been shot out. Then he listened to the sound of an emergency brake in the back, then “bang-bang-dong—” and screaming, because the car was too fast, it could not be controled and directly went to the green area.

Their car was far away from the car behind. Zhang Qiu saw that the front tire had exploded.

“What did you throw just now? Too cool!”

“Fruit knife.”

Zhang Qiu’s eyes sparkled; he didn’t expect the beautiful, soft-looking Pixian Hui Wang to do such. As he was about to continue to ask, Li Shu said lightly, “Look at the map.”

“Okay.” Zhang Qiu forgot to ask for advice from Pixian Hui Wang, turned on his mobile phone and located it. “We’re going off-course about 10 kilometers, turned around ahead and take G08 National Highway, and then went up the highway a little faster.”

“The car can’t be used anymore, navigate to the railway station.”

Zhang Qiu’s thought was the same; they just had a car accident, now the traffic was so bad, the car could no longer be used, “but how to buy tickets without ID card?”

“No need to buy tickets.”

Half an hour to the town’s railway station -very small and dilapidated- they carried luggage. He did not know how Li Shu would do it, but even the gate ticket inspectors as if they did not see them, let them board the train.

The train was going to Shanxi. Zhang Qiu opened his mobile phone and looked at the map. He pointed out, “Let’s get off in Henan on the way and find a way to rent a car. That’s faster.”

By ten o’clock in the evening, it was only twenty kilometers away from Shandong, and a half-day’s drive to Laiwu, according to Senior Hua Ting.

Zhang Qiu looked at Li Shu and then at Pixian Hui Wang. The glass showed the three of them in the most awkward way. He rubbed his hungry stomach all day. The meal on the train made him sick, he became more and more squeamish.

“Eat first.” Li Shu saw Zhang Qiu’s miserable state, could not help but stretched out his hands and kneaded Zhang Qiu’s face.

Zhang Qiu, who was hungry, could not lift his arm and asked, “You two are so strange. Obviously we haven’t had much to eat all day, but I’m the only one starving to death.” He also chewed on snacks.

Li Shu did not speak, very naturally held Zhang Qiu’s hand.

Zhang Qiu satisfied himself with drinking a local famous mutton soup with pancake, waited for his belly to swell before dropping the bowl in his hand and returning to the hotel to take a bath, After he groaned on the bed twice, he then went to sleep.

Zhang Qiu woke up again in a car. He found himself waking up in the car every time he woke up outside. He roasted a sentence, but saw the familiar figure in front and relaxed “Why don’t you wake me up?”

“Probably shouting to wake you up, would do.”

Unexpectedly, it was Pixian Hui Wang roasted sentence, Zhang Qiu straightened in ashamed, heh-heh laughed two times, “recently I’m sleepy a lot.”

“Sleep too much, it’s going to quickly…” The voice of Pixian Hui Wang was very low. Zhang Qiu did not hear clearly. He was about to ask, Pixian Hui Wang went, “Will be in Laiwu soon.”

“Really?” Zhang Qiu looked out of the window and saw a mountain ahead, green and lush. “Where are we going now?”

Senior brother Hua Ting only anticipated the general direction, but for the specific needs they had to find by their own. But Laiwu’s three sides surrounded by mountains, rolling landforms and changeable, none of them had any Feng Shui measure positioning skill, they simply could not determine the location.

“First, don’t worry, someone will show us the way.” Li Shu’s voice was mild but with certainty.

Zhang Qiu looked at Pixian Hui Wang and Pixian Hui Wang looked at him with a smile, “Now that we’re here, I won’t be in a hurry. More than three thousand years I have been waiting…”

Contrary of being low-key on the road, Li Shu parked the car in the parking lot of a luxury hotel, as if to show the passers-by that they had arrived. Zhang Qiu thought of what Li Shu had said about someone showing them the way, and somehow knew what Li Shu meant.

Laiwu was a prefecture-level city, this hotel also inclined toward the commercial center position. Even if there were more people coming and going on the road, it would be hard to shoot guns in broad daylight.

They had just checked in, and within an hour someone came to the door.

The other person was elegant, with gold-rimmed glasses, the intellectual smart and bright type, looked very young, but had a steady temperament. Zhang Qiu could not tell the other person’s age, whom dressed appropriately in the summer, eyes lightly swept the three of them, and finally looked straight at Pixian Hui Wang. His eyes  were indifferent, not at all looked surprised at Pixian Hui Wang and opened his mouth.

“Mr. Liu, I want to buy the Phoenix bead in your hand, the price will be you call.”

This was a local tyrant, but unfortunately this bead was his second brother Zhang YuShui, it would be strange for Pixian Hui Wang to sell it. Zhang Qiu gave Li Shu a meaningful glance: in case Pixian Hui Wang moved his hands, remembered to stop him, don’t kill people.

Li Shu pinched the face of Zhang Qiu. “Your eyes blinking like this, is it hurting?”

Zhang Qiu:…

Really has not a bit of a tacit understanding ah! Drop Li Shu!

“I will not sell the bead.”

Unexpectedly, Pixian Hui Wang directly refused, sneered and said, “If someone does not change his mind, I will guarantee that he died miserably.”

Zhang Qiu knew that Pixian Hui Wang was not trying to scare; the trussed up Xiao Liu was a warning.

The man on the other side looked slightly down and did not give up. “I live in the next room. If Mr. Liu changes his mind, please come to me anytime. This bead is very important to me.” Speaking of the last expression, he left his card on the table.

Zhang Qiu picked up the business card on the table, “Lu Feng.” On the business card was a simple name and phone number, and there’s no other message. “I don’t think this guy’s the same as the ones on the street. He still got some decent ways of doing things.”

“Just being immortal is enough to attract some people to spare money.” Li Shu knew what he wanted to ask when he saw the expression on Zhang Qiu’s face. He smiled and said, “This is the original soul body of the self-immolation Phoenix. Ordinary people will die faster if they swallow it. You think of it, only the blood of the Phoenix can work, but it’s not immortal.”

Zhang Qiu thought of the coffin of Pixian Hui Wang that Emperor Han Zhang had drenched with his blood over and over again, and did not wait until Pixian Hui Wang revived and resurrected.

How can there be immortality in this world?

They didn’t believe it, but naturally some people believed it. Within two days, the hotel had a large number of people, all gathered on the same floor. Some came directly to ask prices, like Mr. Lu, who they met on the first day. Most of these types were rich merchant owners or employees, and there were also two groups of people attacked but were solved by Pixian Hui Wang and Li Shu at night.

This evening, Zhang Qiu’s three people just finished eating the roast from the outside, and four people came in when they took the elevator; three men and a woman. The woman dressed in a red sling dress, skin was as white as snow, plump figure, flaming red lips, not top-notch beauty, but the eyes were very charming, and she had been smiling ever since they entered the elevator. It looked a bit too much.

The three men next to her had a boss look, also strong bodyguard, and a short, thin, average-looking middle-aged man too. They dressed very differently. When Zhang Qiu looked again, the boss was not like a boss and the bodyguard was not like a bodyguard.

When the woman saw Zhang Qiu looking at her all the time, she curved her delicate flaming red lips, smiled and said, “Little handsome brother, you’ve been staring at me all the time. Do you want to invite this sister to a drink?”

Zhang Qiu blushed and couldn’t put his eyes in place, especially after the woman spoke, there was a cold air on him. Li Shu was behind him.

Practically cause my death!

“Your blushing face is really cute!” The woman’s laughter filled with teasing.

Zhang Qiu’s shoulder sank; it was Li Shu’s arm. Suddenly he was cold-sweating. His eyes stared at Li Shu to show his innocence. He dared not look at another woman any more.

The woman still wanted to make fun of him, she rarely meet such a pure and simple man, she raised her eyes to see a cold light coming. She could not help but bit her tongue; the tall man was very good-looking, but her sixth sense told her that this person was dangerous, and then she saw the other person did not hide the possessiveness of the little handsome brother. She could not help laughing, “It’s turned out little handsome brother has owner.”

Zhang Qiu didn’t even think about it, followed to nod his head showing loyalty, “have owner, have owner.” After saying, he heard the laughter of Li Shu on top of his head, he suddenly thought of what he said and his face turned red.

At once, he cried a pool.
