Chapter 13: Murder and Desperation

There was a lot of noise tonight.

Twenty or thirty people died, even the leader of the Lizhuang Gang, Lushan, died.

You know, some of these boatmen also have families, wives and children.

In this way, if these young and strong men die, their families will definitely report to the police.

So, we still have to deal with the ghosts behind.

He hurried back, not caring about rest, and gave a few instructions to his sixth uncle, and colluded with some confessions. Then, he began to bury his head in writing.

As a modern person, Li Qi knows the importance of learning cultural knowledge.

Although the characters in this world are different from those in the original world, they seem to be Chinese characters, which are similar. He has learned most of them in more than three years.

I guess I can't write articles, but I can copy two lines of poetry, but it's a pity that it's useless. No one listens to the boatmen talking so much.

However, it can be used now.

He picked up the rough kraft paper, which is the material used by the boatmen who are on good terms with the Paibo Gang to make oil paper. Oil paper is usually laid on the boat for waterproofing.

This kind of kraft paper is very strong and difficult to tear. It is waterproof and fireproof when made into oil paper. It is a very useful material.

It is precisely because of this property that Li Qi chose kraft paper.

Holding a piece of coal in his hand, he wrote something on the paper quickly.

If you look carefully, you will find that he is writing the key points of Niu Li Shu!

Including how to get lucky, how to start, properties, characteristics, how to get started as soon as possible, how to learn, everything is written on it.

After learning Niu Li Shu through the progress bar, although he didn't know why, he already knew this technique very well, and every detail was clearly imprinted in his mind.

Is it a good thing?

Maybe.

At least it's a good thing now.

No words all night.

He stayed up all night and wrote down how to learn Niu Li Shu. Four pieces of kraft paper were full of writing.

He knew the principle of this technique, but he didn't know what the "principle" was.

For example, the principle of black gunpowder is 2KNO3+3C+S ignites K2S+N2+3CO2.

He knew this string of characters clearly.

But what is 2KNO3? What is 3CO2?

I don't understand.

Anyway, just write it like this. In short, it shouldn't be wrong.

If it's wrong, his Niuli technique shouldn't work.

After writing it, he called his sixth uncle.

"Sixth uncle, this is that technique. It doesn't matter if you don't understand the principle. There are training methods later." Li Qi threw the folded brown paper to his sixth uncle.

Even if you don't understand the principle, it won't hinder your practice. If you don't understand the principle of black gunpowder, it won't hinder you from making firecrackers step by step with one sulfur, two nitrates and three charcoals.

"Xiao Li, are you really leaving?" The sixth uncle put away the brown paper, carefully put it close to his body, and looked at Li Qi worriedly.

Three years ago, when he picked up Li Qi and brought him back, he never thought that this young man would be so useful.

For so long, he was used to listening to the other party's ideas when encountering things. This time he said he was leaving, which really made the sixth uncle a little at a loss.

"Don't worry, Uncle Six, I'll just go out and avoid the limelight. It's hard for the government to kill so many people. They will definitely come to investigate, but after all, there are all kinds of people here, and it's hard to catch them." Li Qi said.

There is one more thing he didn't say, that is - even if the government uses divination, it's probably not going to catch him.

He remembered very clearly that the young man who taught the magic said...

"The things of the outsiders are strange and unpredictable, and it's difficult to find their traces by divination."

It's hard to find the traces of the things of the outsiders, so what about me, a person of the outsider?

Divination can't calculate his location, so based on reasoning alone, he feels that it should be difficult to find him.

Yes, not being found, but being found.

He was going to memorize all the charges, and then run away decisively and leave here.

He didn't know where to go, so he ran away with the charges first.

Because if the person couldn't be found in a short time, the government would most likely not file a case, because if the murder case was not solved, it would affect the evaluation at the end of the year, and the detectives were not happy about it.

As long as it is not filed, it will be an unsolved case, and people will forget about it in one or two years at most.

This is very dangerous, because if you are caught, you will definitely be finished.

But there is no way, killing someone can't be risk-free, right? I have already played with my life once last night, and it doesn't matter if I play with it again.

"Next, I will flee for fear of crime, but I will definitely come back, don't worry." Li Qi said to Uncle Liu.

"Remember, it has nothing to do with you to bite to death, it's all my fault." Li Qi emphasized.

"I understand... but you have to take care of yourself. By the way, this is the money rewarded for opening the river before, plus some savings from the gang, you can use it outside. By the way, remember to buy a good set of clothes. People outside judge people by their clothes. Don't let others look down on you."

"People away from home are as cheap as dogs. You will definitely have a hard time if you leave the gang. Be patient when you encounter things outside. Come back when the storm is over." Uncle Liu muttered, then took out a bag of copper coins and stuffed it into Li Qi.

Li Qi watched his uncle chattering away, then took out a heavy bag filled with copper coins, both new and old, but no clothes or dry food.

He also knew the reason for the lack of clothes, because the gang couldn't find a new piece of clothing, and as for the dry food, it was because he couldn't take it out with him on his escape route.

"Don't worry, Uncle Six, I will definitely come back as soon as possible." Li Qi took a breath, took the bag and tied it on his back.

Killing people and leaving home, it really feels like the chivalrous man of Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period, although he is not a chivalrous man, just a shabby boatman.

But there is no way, if he does not take the initiative, he will be the one who dies tonight.

Li Qi has always been a decisive person. He did not hesitate much. He just promised Uncle Six that he would come back, and then he set off immediately. He did not go through the city gate, but clung to the bottom of the cargo ship, ready to go downstream.

Although the Lishui River has not completely thawed yet, as long as there are boatmen willing to pull, the boat can still sail.

As for the cargo ship, it was the information provided by the boatmen.

Li Qi carried two pottery jars on his body, the mouth of the jar was covered with oilcloth, and the inside was empty, but Li Qi only needed to turn the mouth of the jar upside down and open the oilcloth under the water to inhale the air inside.

With the help of the wave-discharging force, the air in these two jars could keep him underwater for an extra hour.

The other trackers of the Pai Bo Gang took the lowest price and accepted the towing order of the cargo ship. The price was almost free, just to ensure that they could get it.

They would tow the ship where Li Qi was hiding out of the city.

Everything was arranged. Li Qi took a deep breath until his lungs were full, then dived into the water and grabbed the bottom of the cargo ship.

Hiding under the bottom of the cargo ship, he heard the trackers of the Pai Bo Gang outside start to shout.

"The rope on my shoulder is nine feet and three feet long! Ho-ho!"

"It's a hard life to have a rope on your shoulder! Ho-ho!"

"Step on the stone with your feet and dig the sand with your hands! Ho-ho!"

"Don't say you can't sail against the current! Ho-ho!"

Until the cargo ship left the city and left Lizhou.
