A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 143 Swill Liu

Liu Genshan lived in a large courtyard in the south city. He was an old widower with no children and made a living by collecting slop.

The stinky leftovers were piled up outside the doors of restaurants that had long since closed. He would pull the slop out and sell it to pig farmers in nearby villages in exchange for some meager food.

Because of the stench, he often got up early to do this work, pulling a broken cart, dumping the swill from various restaurants into a large bucket on the cart, and then pulling it out of the city...

Ruan Fengshan was worried when he suddenly saw a dark figure on the road, pulling a broken cart, staggering towards him. The large wooden barrel on the cart was greasy and exuded a nauseating smell...

Ruan Fengshan turned his head and looked at Luan Jingfu, saying, "Find a way to get out of the city by yourself. Don't alert the guards at the city gate who are giving secret signals, or I will kill you."

"Yes, Captain!" At this moment, Luan Jingfu's attitude was as respectful as a slave.

At this time, there were only Ruan Fengshan and Luan Jingfu in this dark alley. Luan Jingfu did not call Ruan Fengshan the shopkeeper, but called him the helmsman!

Ruan Fengshan's figure was elusive, and he jumped out of the alley, following the shadow of the wall, and went around behind the old widower who was pulling the swill cart. Then Ruan Fengshan lowered his body and suddenly disappeared like a ghost.

Ruan Fengshan actually crawled under the swill truck, grabbed the gap in the truck board with both hands, and hung himself under the truck.

The old widower felt his shoulders suddenly sink. He looked back and thought that the wheel had been tripped by a stone. He slightly adjusted the direction and continued to pull the swill cart slowly towards the gate of South City with unsteady steps.

The swill cart was still three feet away from the city gate. The yamen runners were already holding their noses from the stench. A young yamen runner cursed, "Swill Liu, why haven't you died yet? It stinks!"

"Quick, open the city gate and let him out!"

Ruan Fengshan was hanging under the swill cart, motionless, but the cart kept shaking, and greasy swill kept spilling out of the greasy wooden barrel, dripping from the gaps in the cart board onto Ruan Fengshan's face, running down his cheeks and across his lips...

There is a mass grave in the southern suburbs of Xiangu County.

In Kyushu Continent, people attach great importance to funerals, and most families have ancestral tombs.

This mass grave is usually used for charity cemeteries.

Many people who died unexpectedly or whose bodies remain unclaimed cannot be left to stink, as that could easily cause plague.

The unidentified body was carried to the charity cemetery after the coroner performed an autopsy. As no one claimed it for three days, it was rolled up on a straw mat and buried in the mass grave.

Therefore, buried in this mass grave are the wronged souls and evil ghosts who died abnormally!

At this time, it was the Mao hour, the darkest hour in the sky. There was no moon in the sky, only a big star hanging upside down in the sky...

Duan Rong, holding a lantern, drove from the official road and turned into the mass grave...

In the dark night, countless graves were like steamed buns, with a few ghost lights sparsely floating in the night wind...

Duan Rong sat in the escort car, looking around with his eyes and ears perked up, listening to the movements around him.

As Duan Rong's escort carriage turned in, two heads popped out from behind a tomb not far away. The two men were dressed as servants. There was another man lying on the grave next to them. He was short and fat with big ears. He said to the two men, "Did you see it clearly? Who is this man?"

"It seems to be Duan Rong, the trainee escort of the second escort team!" one of the servants answered.

"As if?" the short fellow asked with a pressing look.

"It's Duan Rong! Trainee escort!" another servant answered. "It's good that he's a trainee escort!" The short man suddenly stood up and whispered to the back, "Brothers, grab your weapons, go!"

In the dark night, the shadows of people were swaying, causing a few ghost lights to flicker...

Duan Rong noticed the unusual movement of the ghost fire on the grave and immediately looked over there. He saw figures jumping out from the place where the ghost fire was running around!

More than a dozen people, dressed in tight clothes and carrying knives on their waists, surrounded Duan Rong in an instant. Then the sound of swords swirling was heard and bursts of sword lights flashed in the dark night.

Duan Rong stood on the escort vehicle and looked around. He noticed that among these people, there were four people holding crossbows and hiding at the back. The arrows on the crossbows were pointing at him.

In the darkness, Duan Rongse's eyes sparkled. He was considering whether he could avoid the crossbows if he used the Cloud Snake Step and the Bone Shrinking Technique together...

At this moment, all the enemies hiding in the darkness have appeared. In his opinion, this is actually the safest time for him.

With his mastery of the Cloud Snake Step and the Bone Shrinking Technique, he was confident that his life would be safe. As long as no one shot an arrow at him when he wasn't paying attention, the crossbow arrow probably wouldn't be able to hurt him for the time being!
At this time, a short man suddenly jumped out with a knife in his hand and asked, "Boy, where's the gold?"

Duan Rong's eyes flashed as he looked at the man. He saw that the man was round like a meatball, with facial features squeezed together on his fat face. His fleshy nose was shiny in the dim light.

Duan Rong knew that this man was their leader and most likely the mastermind behind this incident. Duan Rong's eyes fixed, and he drew his sword to cut open the iron lock of the box at his feet. He infused his internal energy and lifted the heavy box lid made of fine steel with his toes. The heavy box lid snapped open with a sound, and the golden light suddenly spread out in the dark night.

Duan Rong also took a breath of cold air. The golden light in the dark night was so dazzling. More importantly, Ruan Fengshan really asked him to pull a thousand kilograms of gold over.

In fact, when Duan Rong opened the box, he was mentally prepared that there was no gold inside.

A thousand kilograms of gold sparkled brightly at Duan Rong's feet!
"Boss! Gold!"

"I know it's gold!"

Yu Wenlong smiled, his fleshy nose trembling with his smile. He held the knife, looked at Duan Rong and said, "Little brother, you have worked hard. I will give you a ride!"

Yu Wenlong suddenly attacked Duan Rong with a knife. Duan Rong immediately jumped off the escort car and fought back with the knife.

When the two men's weapons met, Duan Rong instantly knew Yu Wenlong's realm, the second level of the Inner Breath Realm! Duan Rong's mind turned, and he suddenly dispersed the inner breath he had poured into the Oxtail Knife. Without the blessing of the inner breath, the Oxtail Knife in his hand suddenly flew backwards!

Yu Wenlong's eyes were fierce. The moment the oxtail knife in Duan Rong's hand flew away, he stabbed it into Duan Rong's chest, where the heart was.

The blade flashed with cold light and pierced through Duan Rong's body. The tip of the blade came out from Duan Rong's back, and it was soaked with bright red blood...

Yu Wenlong's face showed a kind of bloodthirsty and excited expression, but the dazzling golden light next to him kept stimulating his nerves. He saw that this trainee escort was indeed at a low level and he stabbed his heart in one encounter. He drew out his knife and kicked Duan Rong away.

Yu Wenlong kicked Duan Rong away, then pounced on the gold on the escort vehicle, with an infatuated expression on his face. He took a palm-sized gold cake and bit it, then shouted in a crazy and intoxicated manner, "Gold! A thousand kilograms of gold!"

Yu Wenlong is the leader of the other of the two major gangs in Xiangu County - the Kuming Gang.

The gang members around were relieved when they saw Duan Rong was killed by their leader in a single encounter. They all stared at the gold on the escort cart with greedy faces.

Seeing that everyone had gathered around, Yu Wenlong snapped the lid of the box, which was made of fine steel, and said solemnly, "Brothers, we have the gold. This job was not in vain! After we have dealt with the aftermath, we will stay at my uncle's house in the countryside for a month to prevent the people from Yuanshun Escort Agency from making trouble for us!"

Upon hearing this, the gang members around cheered happily.
