Qin Shuang

No one present had anticipated such a sudden turn of events.

The girl who had been the least noticeable among the four, and who seemed too timid to even speak, suddenly committed an astonishing act!

Though the girl appeared frail, she possessed immense strength, nearly severing the middle-aged man's neck with a single stroke.

Then, the middle-aged woman was caught off guard and felled by the girl as well.

Lin Shi was encountering this kind of situation for the first time, his expression slightly surprised.

After killing the calico cat, the Demon King quickly ran back to Lin Shi's side.

Lin Shi patted the Demon King's head, offering affirmation.

He took out medical supplies from his backpack, performing some simple treatment on the Demon King's wounds while observing the unfolding events out of the corner of his eye.

On the other side.

The middle-aged man's carotid artery had been severed, and he quickly convulsed and rolled his eyes back due to excessive blood loss.

The middle-aged woman, still struggling in her dying moments, raised the fruit knife in her hand and stabbed at the girl.

The girl dodged, but was stabbed in the arm; her actions did not falter, and she struck the woman's head with another blow.

Even after the middle-aged woman stopped moving, she continued to strike with each passing blow.

Blood splattered as if the person under her knife was not her parent but a piece of pork.

It wasn't until the bodies of the two were unrecognizable that the girl stopped.

She stood up with the knife, like a walking corpse, and approached the unconscious boy, whispering:

"Let's go to hell together, brother."

With that, she struck down at the defenseless boy.

A few strokes severed the boy's head!

After completing this, the girl, still holding the knife, walked towards Lin Shi.

However, she dropped the knife halfway, as if her soul had left her body, and looked at Lin Shi, saying:

"Kill me."

"Why should I kill you?"

Lin Shi was puzzled.

He killed for self-protection and his own interests.

This girl had not attacked him, had not insulted him, and had even warned him.

Although he had already sensed the murderous intent behind him, it also indicated that the girl harbored no hostility towards him.

She had even resolved a problem for him.

He had no reason to strike.

The girl's eyes lost their luster:

"I killed my parents and relatives, shouldn't a scum like me be killed?"

Lin Shi found it amusing:

"What does it matter to me that you killed your relatives? Moreover, some people do not deserve to be parents."

At this moment, Lin Shi thought of Lu Siyue, his eyes dark and turbulent, patting the Demon King, he said:

"Let's go."

When Lin Shi and the Demon King returned to the side of the calico cat, some people who had just fled had come back.

But they only watched from a distance, not daring to approach.

The calico cat was dead, and the Demon King who killed it was still there.

Ignoring the gazes around him, Lin Shi had the Demon King pick up the calico cat's corpse and leave.

Those who thought Lin Shi might not take the calico cat's corpse away showed disappointment.

They had hoped for a chance to get some meat.

However, the severed leg of the calico cat, bitten off by the Demon King, still caused a scramble among many people.

No matter what kind of meat it was, it was still meat.

After walking a distance, Lin Shi stopped and shouted to a corner behind him:

"Come out!"

The girl, covered in blood and carrying a large bag, cautiously emerged from the corner.

It was the girl who had just killed her entire family.

"Why are you following me?"

Lin Shi frowned.

The girl took a few steps closer, stopping when the Demon King made a threatening sound,

"Can I follow you?"

"No."

Lin Shi refused without hesitation.

Not killing her didn't mean he could accept her.

"I can do anything, don't look at me being thin, I have great strength, can endure hardship, and don't eat much at all!"

The girl was trying her best to sell herself.

"I already have companions by my side."

Lin Shi warned the girl with a sharp gaze:

"Stop following me, I won't be merciful when killing."

He would no longer become partners with anyone, and he wouldn't trust even servants to stay by his side.

"My name is Qin Shuang!"

The girl shouted at Lin Shi's back.

Seeing Lin Shi didn't even turn his head, Qin Shuang's eyes were firm, and she left in another direction.

...

The feeling of being watched gradually faded, and Lin Shi found a hidden and deserted corner to put the corpse of the calico cat into space.

In the afternoon, Lin Shi took out the map he had marked before and continued to sweep the gold shops.

After sweeping more than a dozen gold shops, he met an unexpected person again at the door of a gold shop.

"Are you following me?"

Lin Shi's eyes flashed with killing intent, looking at Qin Shuang who appeared in front of him again.

Qin Shuang hurriedly defended herself:

"I'm not following you, I'm here to find something in this gold shop."

At this time, Lin Shi noticed that Qin Shuang was holding a fire axe in her hand.

It turned out that she was also here to look for gold.

Lin Shi raised his eyebrows.

Because he met this girl twice in a day, he subconsciously thought that this girl wanted to stick to him.

Lin Shi bypassed Qin Shuang and left, but was called by Qin Shuang.

"Wait a minute!"

Lin Shi turned around and looked at Qin Shuang impatiently.

Qin Shuang put down the big bag on her body, and it could be seen that after an afternoon, the bag had become much heavier.

She opened the bag, revealing a pile of miscellaneous items with various gold jewelry.

Qin Shuang's eyes were bright, and she grabbed a handful of gold and handed it to Lin Shi:

"Here, these are for you."

Lin Shi's impatient eyes changed slightly.

"Why give them to me?"

"Aren't you in need of gold? I searched four gold shops this afternoon, and all the gold I collected is here."

Lin Shi said coldly:

"I can collect it myself.

Even if you waste your time looking for these things, I won't take you in."

"I know."

Qin Shuang's hand dropped, clutching the gold jewelry in her hand, and she lowered her head and said:

"I know that my life is worthless and can only rely on myself.

I just want to thank you for not pushing me when I was most desperate."

"There's no need to thank me.

I didn't do anything."

Lin Shi said truthfully.

But Qin Shuang looked at Lin Shi firmly and said:

"I think there is.

These gold are useless to me, so please take them."

Lin Shi wanted the gold, but he wouldn't owe others for nothing.

"If you insist on giving them to me, I'll exchange something with you."

Lin Shi took out a plate of anti-inflammatory drugs and a bottle of iodine from his backpack, and a roll of bandage.

In exchange for so much gold for these medicines, if it were before the end of the world, someone would definitely think Lin Shi was crazy.

But now, in the situation where the medicines in pharmacies and hospitals were robbed in the first place, medicines are definitely much more valuable than gold.

Qin Shuang's arm was stabbed by a middle-aged woman before, and if not treated, the wound is likely to become inflamed and infected.

In this kind of environment now, it could be fatal.

These medicines are priceless to her.

And for Lin Shi, exchanging a little medicine for as much as thirty or forty jin of gold, he also made a profit.

Moreover, he could also get the girl's gratitude.

A glimmer of light appeared in Lin Shi's eyes.

He found that this girl was a bit extraordinary.
