Killer: I Start By Killing A Fly With A Poker Card - Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Hitchhiking

After walking for over half an hour, the roar of a car came from the front. Shi Yu raised his head and looked at the road that wound to the end. A car gradually appeared in his field of vision.

Shi Yu looked at himself. He was no different from a beggar.

His beard was messy, his hair disheveled, and his clothes covered by a piece of elk skin.

He couldn’t care less, though. As long as he could go back to the city, everything would change.

Shi Yu stopped and stood by the roadside, shouting. He waved his arms, trying to attract the attention of the car.

The people in the car, however, seemed not to see Shi Yu, directly passing him by without any intention of stopping.

Seeing the car flying past him, Shi Yu’s head fell.

Sure enough, he was no different from a beggar. Why would the person stop the car to take him?

Shi Yu walked towards the road again, never expecting that there would be no cars.

After a good while, the sound of a car came from behind again. Shi Yu looked back and saw that it was a jeep.

He stopped and shouted, waving his arms akimbo. These actions attracted the attention of the driver.

The driver stopped the car. Shi Yu quickly walked to the window and asked, “Sir, can you drive me to the city? I can reward you.”

The driver was an uncle in his forties. He looked at Shi Yu. In his eyes, Shi Yu had stubbles and strands of leaves on his hair. His clothes were still wrapped in animal skin.

He looked at his wife beside him. Being a soft-hearted person, she looked at her husband and said, “Maybe he really is in trouble. There isn’t a single car on the road. If we don’t help him, he will be in despair.”

Hearing his wife’s words, the man nodded and looked at Shi Yu. “You can sit in the back of my jeep. We will take you to the city. You can think of the rest yourself.”

Hearing the man’s words, Shi Yu quickly thanked him and climbed into the back seat of the jeep. His wife kindly handed him some food.

It was some meat rolls, some bread, and water.

Shi Yu took it with both hands. It had been a long time since he had eaten normal food. After chatting with the uncle, she learned that the two of them had gone to visit their parents. Both invalid and incapacitated, it had drained them financially.

The parents did not want to drag them down, so they moved to the old house alone. However, at least the two of them went back to visit them every month.

The car was playing music that the uncle and his wife liked. The two of them were humming music, and from time to time, they would look at each other and laugh.

The car sped through the road. The windows were open, and the wind blew Shi Yu’s hair. He looked out of the window at the trees that were falling backward into a blur.

Looking at this ordinary couple, Shi Yu also thought about his future. He, too, wanted to find a wife and live a happy life like them.

However, he couldn’t. When Shi Yu set foot on the path of a killer, these thoughts in his mind couldn’t be realized. Every day, he lived in fear. Perhaps one day, he would die outside.

At that time, how desperate would his wife be?

Shi Yu simply shook his head and threw those thoughts to the back of his mind.

The trees slowly dwindled, and houses began to appear around them. They soon drove across a bridge and entered the city.

At an intersection, the man stopped the car and looked at Shi Yu. “This is as far as I can get you. There will be many cars passing this place.”

The man handed over a hundred dollars and said, “We are not rich people. We can only help you so much. Take this money and live well.”

Shi Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry, but these were all people’s thoughts. He nodded and took it.

“Perhaps, can you give me your phone number? I will repay you in the future.”

Hearing Shi Yu’s words, the uncle smiled. He had helped others before, but no one had ever said this before.

He randomly wrote his phone number and address on a piece of paper and told Shi Yu that if she needed their help in the future, he could come to them.

Shi Yu folded it and put it in his pocket before getting out of the car.

He waved for a taxi, took out his cell phone, and called William.

William was at home playing with his daughter. Looking at the strange call on his cell phone, he walked to the side and picked it up.

“Sir, are you back?”

Hearing William’s voice on the other end of the phone, Shi Yu replied, “I’m back. Come to my house first.”

William nodded and hung up the phone. He picked up his briefcase and drove to Shi Yu’s house.

Shi Yu lit up a cigarette in the taxi. For some reason, he did not smoke and drink before, but after this trip to the forest, he actually began to enjoy the joys of smoking.

When he smoked, he could calm down and think clearly.

Although it was in the city, it was still quite a distance from his home. After sitting in the car for nearly half an hour, Shi Yu handed out the 100 yuan note and got out.

As soon as he returned home, he saw William’s car parked in his yard.

Shi Yu knocked on the door. When he left, he did not bring his keys with him. When William opened the door, he was stunned. Was this his boss?

He looked at the disheveled man in front of him, his hair full of dandruff, and there was an animal’s skin on his body.

He quickly let Shi Yu into the house. After Shi Yu entered the house, he went to the bathroom to take a good shower.

He could not take a shower in the forest. After tidying himself up, he looked at himself in the mirror and looked brand new. Shi Yu nodded and walked out.

Seeing William sitting on the sofa, Shi Yu went to get a bottle of whiskey and poured himself a glass. She sat on the couch.

William couldn’t help but ask, “Sir, where did you go for the past few days?”

“I went to the Amazon a few days ago and stayed there for a few days,” Shi Yu said as he took a sip of wine.

“Now that I’m back, I naturally have to solve the problem. I’ll be going to Y City in the next few days.”

“You can start living and working normally come tomorrow.”

Shi Yu looked at William and said with a smile.

William nodded. Since Shi Yu was back, he definitely had a solution to the problem. He didn’t have to worry about anything.

Shi Yu looked at the time and saw that it was already noon, so he asked William to lunch.

In the restaurant, everyone who was eating looked at Shi Yu with strange gazes.

Beside him, there was already a t-bone and three 20-ounce steak plates.

William sat opposite Shi Yu. He felt as if his boss must have had a grudge against beef and was desperately decimating the steak.

Shi Yu burped after eating the last piece of steak.

William, who had eaten half of the steak before him, looked at himself in shock.

It was not Shi Yu who had a beef feud, but it was a fact that beef was rich in protein and fiber..
