Chapter 52 Clean Up the Aftermath
When he was fighting for his life, he completely forgot about everything outside him and only thought about putting his enemy to death.
The enemy was dead, Gu Qing's heart suddenly relaxed, and he slumped to the ground. He held his chest and coughed several times, with a streak of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
The woman frowned and said, "Are you injured internally?"
Gu Qing was too lazy to answer. He looked up to the sky and closed his eyes to rest. His mind was blank and his ears were buzzing. It was the first time in his life that he had killed someone. At this moment, Gu Qing was in a very confused mood. He was afraid, scared, nauseated, and there was also an indescribable pleasure.
Although Yao Guitang did not die directly in his hands, at least he died because of him. If he was a dungeon boss, Gu Qing had at least beaten him to the point where his health was reduced. In the end, he was picked up by the woman, and all the experience points and equipment belonged to her.
.
Uncle Han’s great revenge is avenged, right?
It's a pity that he died too quickly. A sword penetrated the heart, which was painful and quick. It was such a blessing. Gu Qing's original plan was to stone him to death, making his death painful and ugly. It was definitely not as peaceful as it is now.
.
A dark brown pill was handed to Gu Qing. The woman glanced at him and said, "Take it. It will treat internal injuries."
Gu Qing suddenly looked at her alertly and said, "No need, just go home and recuperate for a few days."
The woman frowned: "You don't believe me?"
"I don't like taking medicine, and my folks have taught me since I was a child that I can eat whatever I want, but I can't take any medicine."
Gu Qing started talking nonsense, but he was really wary of the woman in his heart.
I got to know her out of nowhere, and today she chased him outside Cuijiang Village and even helped him kill someone. She was so kind to him for no reason. Why was she so good? Just because he was handsome?
——Of course, we cannot deny the possibility. Maybe this woman is really that superficial.
But Gu Qing was still instinctively wary. A woman he had only met once gave him a pill. Can he take it? Do he dare to take it?
The woman's expression was a little cold: "If you don't eat, your internal injuries will get worse."
Gu Qing smiled: "It doesn't matter, there is a doctor in our village..."
Pointing to Song Gensheng, who was stunned beside him, Gu Qing said: "His father is a doctor. I can ask his father to treat my injuries."
The woman became impatient and suddenly reached out and pinched Gu Qing's cheeks, pinched his mouth into an O shape, threw the pill into his mouth, then closed his mouth, and touched an unknown part of his throat with her index finger.
The pill slipped smoothly and entered his stomach.
Gu Qing was shocked and then calmed down. Well, in fact, he felt in his heart that this woman would most likely not harm him. After all, she had saved his life. Gu Qing's reluctance to take medicine was just out of instinct to be wary of outsiders.
After sitting there and resting for a while, Gu Qing finally regained some strength, stood up unsteadily, and said: "It's getting late, we still have to deal with the aftermath, so come and help."
The woman hesitated for a moment and said: "I killed the person, so there is no need to deal with the aftermath..."
Gu Qing said without looking back: "Did the imperial court issue you a license to kill? No matter who killed the person, it is basic professional ethics to deal with the aftermath."
The woman looked at him blankly. Gu Qing often came up with some new words that he couldn't understand. Some of them made sense, and some were completely incomprehensible. He was really a mysterious young man.
Gu Qing always has rules in doing things, and he has rules before and after, especially when he does bad things. "The aftermath" is the most important one. Even the scumbag knows how to pull out a few tissues and throw them to the other person after he puts on his pants. Of course he kills people.
It is even more important to take care of the aftermath.
He stood up and took a deep breath. Gu Qing still felt a burning pain in his chest. The pill given by the woman did not take effect so quickly.
Turning to look at Song Gensheng, this guy still looked distracted, staring at something unfocused, his face even uglier than Yao Guitang lying on the ground.
Gu Qing stumbled forward and patted him hard: "Don't be stunned, come here and help."
Song Gensheng suddenly shook his head and saw the corpse on the ground again. He couldn't help shouting: "Kill, kill! Kill! He will be beheaded by the government!"
Gu Qing frowned and slapped him staggering. Song Gensheng finally woke up and regained his senses, but he still didn't dare to look at the corpse on the ground.
Gu Qing pointed to the big stone in the middle of the road and said: "Gensheng, push the stone to the side of the mountain road, then cover the blood stains on the ground with dust, and put away the bloody wooden sticks and kitchen knives. Don't leave them behind."
If there are any traces that attract attention, you do it first, and I will stop for a moment to check."
Then Gu Qing said to the woman: "Help carry the body up the hillside."
The woman was dissatisfied and said: "Why do you want me to do it?"
Gu Qing took some time off and pointed at himself, then at Song Gensheng, and said, "I suffered internal injuries, and that guy, do you think you can count on him?"
The woman reluctantly picked up the body and walked up the mountain.
Song Gensheng also stayed at the scene to deal with the traces. After a long time, the treatment was finally completed. Gu Qing checked it carefully and covered up a few overlooked details. Until the road was no different from the past, Gu Qing felt relieved.
Follow Song Gensheng up the mountain.
The body was thrown by the woman into a small forest on the hillside. There were many bamboos planted in the forest. It was dense and dark inside, and the grass was knee-deep.
Gu Qing endured the pain and looked back and forth, then pointed to a relatively flat open space and said: "Just here."
After speaking, Gu Qing stepped forward, squatted down, and started digging a hole.
Song Gensheng hesitated for a moment, then squatted down and followed suit. While digging, he said with a panicked expression: "Gu Qing, we have killed someone. If the government traces it to us, we will be beheaded..."
Gu Qing buried his head in digging a hole and said, "Don't worry, the government won't investigate."
"Why?"
"Because Yao Guitang was not the only one who came to the porcelain kiln last night. All his villagers saw him committing a life-threatening lawsuit. Today he packed his luggage and left the village in a hurry. What will the villagers think when they see him?"
Song Gensheng seemed to have some realization: "Do you think he is absconding out of fear of crime?"
"Yes, that's why I chose to act in broad daylight. Everyone saw him absconding in fear of crime. From now on, no one knows whether he is alive or dead. If the government wants to investigate, it will also investigate the cause of Uncle Han's death. The final conclusion must be that the murderer absconded.
, disappeared, and has become an unsolved case since then.”
Song Gensheng suddenly realized: "I see, then we are no longer suspicious?"
"You were studying at home, and I was mourning Uncle Han's death alone in the mountains and forests. What else did we do?"
The woman was attracted by the conversation between the two and looked at Gu Qing thoughtfully: "Did you plan everything before the murder, including misleading the government about the direction of the investigation afterwards?"
Gu Qing sighed: "What's the use of planning? After all, my strength is inferior to others. I almost fell into trouble today."
Turning to look at the woman, Gu Qing looked at her carefully: "Have you ever killed someone before?"
"I killed him." The woman admitted frankly.
Then the woman added: "The people I kill are all scum, and they all have reasons for killing."
Gu Qing said indifferently: "It has nothing to do with me, I just suddenly felt that I was a little rude..."
"Why are you rude?"
"Look, you've eaten the fish I cooked, I've drank the wine you brought, and you've saved my life and helped me kill people. We can barely be considered friends of life and death, right? But I'm not even close to life and death.
I don’t even know the name of my acquaintance, that’s too much.”
The woman said without any coyness: "My surname is Zhang, my name is Huaiyu, and I am from Shaozhou."
Gu Qing opened his eyes wide and stared at her speechlessly for a long time.
Zhang Huaiyu was a little annoyed by his stare and said with an unkind look: "What are you looking at?"
