Chapter 14 About to Leave
The shovel held by the dumbfounded middle-aged landlord fell to the ground. His slightly opened mouth trembled. He could even not say a word.
Wang Ke turned around, and the shovel in the middle-aged landlord's hand made him understand that this kind landlord couldn't bear to see him being beaten by five people. He wanted to help, did he?
The feeling of being cared about was warm, like drinking a pot of old wine. And the heart was filled with affection.
"Sir, thank you for your reminding just now. But these people weren't a threat to me, they were just a piece of cake." The coldness on Wang Ke's face disappeared slowly, replaced by a bright smile.
The landlord murmured a few times and blinked his eyes. Then he realized it, nodding unbelievably, "Wang, how did you become so powerful? Five people! You just broke them down like that? If we had not known each other for so long, I would really think that you had just been possessed by the God of War."
Wang Ke smiled and said, "I have been always like this! It's just that I haven't fought with others in front of you. By the way, how to deal with these people? Kill them all?"
When the middle-aged landlord heard what Wang Ke said, he shook his head like a rattle and said with a trace of panic, "No, no. Don't do that! Wang, it is illegal to kill, and you don't have to trade your life for a life! You are still young. Don't be so stupid. Although these people deserve it, they are not sentenced to death. You have also taught them a lesson, so forget it!"
Wang Ke would not kill people for real. The reason why he said that was entirely to scare these people. Moreover, he had another purpose, which was to do a favor for the middle-aged landlord. After all, Wang Ke was about to leave, he had beaten them up today, who knew if they would take revenge in the future? And if he left by himself, he was afraid that these ruffians would treat the landlord badly.
Now that the landlord interceded for them, even if they hated Wang Ke very much, they might feel a little grateful to the landlord.
"Well, I will do you a favor. Actually, I was thinking to slaughter them and then hide their bodies in the forest to feed the wolves! It can destroy the corpses." He turned his back to the people and blinked at the middle-aged landlord with a bright smile.
The middle-aged landlord hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
Although he was loyal and honest, he was not stupid. Wang Ke was smiling without a trace of killing people or destroying corpses. He was earning favor for him!
Wang Ke turned around slowly, glancing at the yenta who made her face red and swollen and said indifferently, "Okay, help your man getting up. I have something to say."
The yenta felt relieved. she rushed to the middle-aged man and helped the man up without caring about the pain on her face, waiting for Wang Ke to speak.
Wang Ke said coldly, "I forgive you for the last time today. Listen up, move out before three o'clock this afternoon. If you let me see you again after three o'clock, I will make you regret being born. Moreover, pay off the rent owed to the landlord. As for the things that you smashed, make compensation for ten thousand yuan. Do you have any comments?"
The yenta couple shook their heads immediately. They answered unwillingly because they thought Wang Ke would take action if they were disobedient.
Would he kill them for real if they refused?
The couple glanced at each other and thought emerged in their mind at the same time.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the yenta even spent money to hire a moving company, and finally moved out. Moreover, not only the rent owed to the landlord for two years but also the ten thousand yuan of compensation for Wang Ke, were obediently sent to Wang Ke.
Looking at the yenta who left without looking back, the landlord and Wang Ke looked at each other with a smile.
"Wang, I really have to thank you for these affairs. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would not know how to deal with this pair of scourges. Now everything's okay. Not only did they give me two years of rent, but my wife and children also don't need to move out anymore." The middle-aged landlord looked at Wang Ke and said, showing a trace of gratitude.
Wang Ke smiled and said, "Sir, you don't have to thank me. We have been together for a long time. We all know what each other is like. Do you think I need your gratitude? To be honest, I should thank your family for taking care of me since I lived here.”
In the past, Wang Ke, a person living alone, often stayed in his room without eating after work. By chance, the landlord's wife learned about Wang Ke's situation and had often cooked more since then. Every time she saw Wang Ke coming back, she would ask Wang Ke whether he had eaten or not. If Wang Ke didn't, she would definitely deliver the food to Wang Ke's room.
This situation maintained for two or three months. Later after, it was Wang Ke who felt embarrassed to accept the kindness from the landlord's family. He could only make an excuse and promise that he would eat on time so that the landlord's wife would no longer offer Wang Ke food.
Kindness and honesty were manifested through years of communication. It was born with someone and couldn't be disguised.
"Forget it, stop talking about the past. You said before that you are leaving tomorrow? How about I tell my wife to cook some dishes tonight, and let's have a good drink? It is a farewell party for you." The landlord said with a smile.
Wang Ke did not say no, and he was very relaxed and happy to get along with the landlord's family.
The next morning, Wang Ke didn't say goodbye to the landlord's family. He embarked on the train to Changji carrying a simple package.
In a sleeping berth with a good environment, Wang Ke read a masterpiece of classical literature quietly. It took four hours to Changji. If it weren't for the seat tickets had been sold out, Wang Ke, who insisted no waste, would not buy sleeping tickets at all.
"We are arriving at Tangzhou Station. Please get ready to take off..."
The train moved into the station slowly. This was the first station since Wang Ke got on the train. Of course, the content of the broadcast had nothing to do with him.
A group of passengers got off the train, and another got on. When the passengers got on the train, Wang Ke slowly turned around.
After he found his middle berth, he put the travel bag on it. He sat on a chair in the aisle. He didn't even look at the people in the same carriage as him.
However, when he turned back, he was slightly dazed.
On the opposite side of his carriage, the girl who had covered her face with a peaked cap got up, and her hidden face was also revealed.
This was a young girl with a particularly beautiful appearance. She was about twenty years old. Her tender and white skin revealed a lustrous glow. Under the outline of her eyebrows, she had a pair of fox-like eyes. The two bright eyes, like black jewels, seemed to contain the breath of elegance. Not to mention the exquisite perfect body curve. The beauty might be able to fascinate countless men.
Wang Ke was just shocked for a moment and then looked away. This girl had the extreme beauty, but she had nothing to do with him. Now he had no intention to think about love at all.
In his opinion, how could a manly man fall for a woman without having success?
Therefore, this beautiful girl did not interfere with him in any way.
On the contrary, it was the beautiful girl who showed a trace of vigilance after being aware of Wang Ke's stunned expression and quickly moved face. Her perfect body tightened instantly as if facing a major enemy.
Time passed slowly. A few hours later, the train drove into Changji Railway Station.
Wang Ke, carrying a travel bag, walked out of the train station with the crowd. He knew nobody in Changji. The purpose he came here was also trying to have a career, so there was no destination at the time.
Watching the never-ending people, Wang Ke scanned the surroundings slowly and then walked towards the street in a distance with his suitcase.
He didn't know where he should live, so he took things as they were and walked forward quietly. He didn't realize the beautiful figure in front of him was the pretty girl he met on the train.
Following the crowd through the thriving street, Wang Ke looked at the distance. His eyes suddenly lit up because there was a sign on the signboard which wrote "Huang Ting Express Hotel" on the left side of the road.
He should find a place to live first, and then figure out where's the antique market and the magic weapon market in Changji. He believed that Changji was the capital city of the province, and those markets here will definitely enable him to realize his ambitions.
All of a sudden!
Wang Ke was stunned because he noticed that there was a familiar figure in front of him about forty to fifty meters away.
Was that the beautiful girl on the train?
Wang Ke was confused. When he was on the train, the beautiful girl showed a trace of hostility to him, which he could easily catch. But he didn't care at the time. In his thoughts, there was nothing wrong that a beautiful girl like her had a strong sense of defense against the men around her. Because beautiful women brought danger. She must be careful or she would be the target of men.
Li Ruoxi, the name of the beautiful girl.
At the moment, Li Ruoxi could sense the young man behind her clearly.
She stopped after crossing into the secluded road for a few minutes, and then turned around with defense, staring at Wang Ke.
Since the man followed, she'd like to solve the problem right now.
Li Ruoxi thought and clenched her slender hands, repressed her anger and waited indifferently.
Since they had sent someone to follow her, it would definitely not be only one person. She wanted to find out other stalkers, but after looking away from the young man, she scanned the surroundings carefully and finally found nobody.
