Chapter 61 Dodder - Looking for a Lover

Zhou Leng stood in the workshop for a long time and shrugged her shoulders. She drove away her thoughts and looked at the next task. At this moment, she was extremely grateful that the technical department had actively improved the task allocation since the last time there was a problem with the task allocation, and changed it to random allocation. Otherwise, according to Xiao Ding's lazy attitude, she would never be able to achieve her goal.

The projected mission content made Zhou Leng frown slightly.

Client’s name: Yirong.

Client’s gender: Female.

Occupation before death: maid.

Cause of death: An arrow shot through the heart.

Age at death: sixteen.

The client's wish: to find his lover and take revenge.

Zhou Leng frowned as she looked at the mission target and her wish. She thought, this is the mission she dislikes the most. It's enough to just take revenge. Why should she look for a lover? It's so good to be single!

The Great Chu State experienced more than one hundred years of development, from a state of disrepair to prosperity and then to a period of incompetent rulers.

The client, Yirong, was a young lady with an unfortunate fate. As she was a girl and came from a poor family, she was sold to a wealthy family as a maid at the age of four. Yirong had a gentle personality and a simple mind. She worked hard to rise from a menial maid to a first-class maid.

When Yirong was fourteen years old, she was chosen by the mistress of the house to serve the young master, waiting for her to become the young master's maid after she came of age.

When the young master reached the age to take the imperial examination, he went to the capital city, and he took with him two servants, two bodyguards, and a personal maid. They traveled at night for fear of encountering bandits, but unfortunately, things did not go as they wished.

When the group passed by Sanyuan Mountain, they were intercepted by bandits on the mountain. In order to save his life, the young master paid the money and left his clothes, and he left on horseback with his servants and guards.

Yirong was taken to the mountains, and everyone thought she would be tortured to death, but when she got to the mountains she became a maid for the village chief's wife, and was later betrothed to Yao Qing, the village chief Han Shaoyong's confidant.

Yao Qing was originally a deputy governor of Lin'an Prefecture. He was highly appreciated by the prefect Gao Quan. He was promoted from a homeless man to a captain and then to a deputy governor by the prefect Gao. He originally had a bright future, but Gao Quan was demoted and the new prefect Cai Qi could not tolerate the confidant of the former official, so Yao Qing was driven away.

Although Yao Qing left the government office, he still had some savings. He originally planned to start a small business to make a living and then marry a good girl. However, the newly appointed prefect was not a good official. He squeezed the people's wealth and made the people suffer.

Yao Qing was a brave and resourceful man. He had a grudge against Cai Qi, so he looked for an opportunity to assassinate the new prefect.

With nowhere else to go, Yao Qing fled to Sanyuan Mountain and became a bandit.

There are three leaders in Sanyuan Mountain. The first leader is Han Shaoyong, nicknamed Kaishanfu, the second leader is Lu Fei, and the third leader is Deng Rang. The three are sworn brothers and jointly manage Sanyuan Village, with more than 300 followers under them.

When Yao Qing came to seek refuge, Lu Fei and Deng Rang both looked hesitant, as they were afraid that the government officials would come looking for them.

Han Shaoyong decided to keep Yao Qing against all odds because he discovered that Lu Fei and Deng Rang were forming a clique, and he needed an extra confidant to check and balance the two and keep his position as the chief of the village.

The two forces in the mountain village were fighting secretly, and the victim was naturally the latest member Yao Qing.

Yao Qing is a man of integrity, loyalty and courage. He is grateful to Han Shaoyong for taking him in. Moreover, he knows that subordinates must never betray their superiors, otherwise they would be considered two-faced and no one would tolerate them.

Yirong originally thought that she would be with a handsome man like the young master, and the two of them would spend time together in the study, under the moonlight and flowers. But now she was betrothed to Yao Qing, who was strong, muscular, and well-built. Although he was handsome, she didn't like his vulgar manners. He didn't even know a single word, let alone poetry. Yirong was very resistant.

Yao Qing is rude on the outside but very sensitive and meticulous on the inside. He doesn't want to force the other party. Although he has never been gentle and attentive to Yirong, he has never made any moves. After Yirong moved in, Yao Qing has been sleeping on the wooden board he built. The two don't communicate much, at most they are roommates.

A naive girl would naturally do something stupid under the temptation of money and freedom from someone with ulterior motives. She took medicine from Deng Rang to give to Yao Qing, and she thought it was a knockout drug, but it was actually poison.

Yao Qing was not a simple woman. She wanted to drug someone, but before the other person did anything, she was scared to death. As a result, she was exposed and discovered.

This is why Yao Qing is so loyal to Han Shaoyong. Otherwise, he would be like Yirong at this moment, offending both sides, and neither side would trust her.

In the end, Yirong died from an arrow. She didn't even know who the murderer was, but she knew the murderer was not Yao Qing because Yao Qing was standing in front of her when she was killed.

Si Yirong had her soul exchanged, and she had been relying on others all her life, so her last wish was to find a good man to depend on and have him help her get revenge.

When Zhou Leng opened her eyes, she was cooking. She touched the poison in her sleeve to make sure it hadn't been poisoned, and then she felt whether the environment here was suitable for cultivation.

Eyes wide open.

After so many planes, here finally there is a little spiritual energy that allows me to practice, happy! Then she used the water in the water tank to look at the current situation.

The girl in the water has a face like a full moon, lips like cherries, two curved eyebrows like mountain green, and a pair of eyes like autumn water. Her cloth clothes make her look more beautiful. A wooden hairpin is inserted diagonally into her bun. She is really a pretty and beautiful girl.

***

The houses in the village are not very good, but they are not shabby either.

Yao Qing and his wife lived in a wooden house of about 30 square meters, with a yard of about 50 square meters outside. There was also a small shed for cooking next to the wooden house. The neighbors around them were all management.

The reason why bandits gathered in Sanyuan Mountain is that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is a depression halfway up the mountain, which is a natural defensive fortification without the need for digging. People here call the depression Jiazigou.

Some fertile land below Jiazigou is farmland reclaimed by the people in the village. Above Jiazigou live the minions and their families, small leaders and their families, seven main managers and their families, and at the top are the three village masters, their families and guards.

Zhou Leng prepared the meal and was about to bring it into the house. Before she even stepped into the room, she saw Yao Qing sitting there like a wall. She sighed in her heart that Yi Rong was too young to know how good Yao Qing was and mistakenly thought the young master was a treasure.

She took the initiative to talk: "When did you come back? I didn't see you."

Yao Qing replied: "I just got back too."

Zhou Leng put down the food, went to the cupboard to get the dishes and chopsticks, and then closed the door.

The room darkened.

Yao Qing glanced at the sneaky woman and looked at her calmly.

Zhou Leng followed her original example and lowered her head to sit on the wooden stool. She took out the packet of medicine from her sleeve, placed it on the table and whispered:

"Today, the Third Village Chief came to me and told me to give you this knockout drug. I don't know some things in the village, so I told my brother about this."

Yao Qing frowned slightly. He was a man of insight. The two had lived together for more than a month. He saw that the young lady was afraid of him. He heard that she used to be a maid in a wealthy family. He thought that she looked down on a crude person like him. He didn't expect that she would be able to tell him this frankly now. It seemed that she was not stupid. He replied:

"I already know about this matter. I will go to discuss it with the chief after dinner."

Zhou Leng frowned slightly and said: "If brother leaves, what should I do? I am surrounded by powerful enemies and I feel uneasy." Before he finished speaking, he burst into tears.

The young lady cried very beautifully, with tears in her eyes, which made people feel pity for her.

Zhou Leng despised himself in his heart, but in practice he performed it very smoothly.
