Ye Tusu has two identities.
On the surface, she is a pork Xishi from the west end of Changjing Town. She is twenty-two years old, with almond eyes and peach cheeks, and a slim body. Unfortunately, she has a cursing mouth and a gangster air. Every day, he squatted on a stool and ate sesame cakes, and yelled at the gangsters with a butcher knife. His catchphrases were "It's none of my business" and "Just give me money." Neighbors said that his face was blinded in vain.
Secretly, she is the "Shadowless Sword" number one in the world's bounty list. She started out with three thousand taels, but her throat was sealed with blood. Until she got tired of killing, packed up her clothes, retired, and opened a meat stall in a small town in Jiangnan. She wanted to live a peaceful life, but her master, the killer old ghost, came to the door with his foolish daughter A'nan and a group of strange minions.
The stingy poison master Qian Chuanzi, who even counts the cost of using poison, the swordsman Mr. Lu who can get lost in his own backyard, the scout A Piao who is afraid of the dark and ghosts but specializes in night walks... A group of freaks crowded in the backyard of the butcher shop, quarreling and bickering, stealing meat and drinking, and accepting trivial commissions. The noisy life actually felt like home.
Until the war broke out in the north, the cavalry went south.
The old ghost burned the last reward order - ten thousand taels of gold, to get the head of the guard. He said: "If you don't accept this order, whoever accepts it will be killed."
A group of killers who only care about money go north to die against the flow of people fleeing south.
Defend the isolated city and fight bloody battles for seven days. The string of money was filled with poison and rushed into the enemy's camp. Mr. Lu held the broken sword and never retreated. Ah Piao smiled in the firelight and said, "It's dawn." The old ghost put Ah Nan's hand into Ye Tusu's palm: "Take her away... The dowry is... Under the brick..."
On the day the city was breached, Ye Tusu fought his way out of the siege with the frightened Ah Nan on his back. He looked back at the flames and shouted, "Close the stall—! Come back to me—!"
No one answered.
Many years later, the meat stall in Changjing Town is still there.
Ye Tusu still lowered his head to chop the meat, raising and falling the knife with precision and neatness. Grandma was sitting by the stall playing with bones, smiling like a child. When someone asked about her past, she simply said: "I used to kill people, but now I only kill pigs."
As the sun set, she led her grandmother home. The wind blew through the empty alley, much like the master's scolding, Qian Chuanzi's calculations, Mr. Lu's mumbling, and Ah Piao's scream.
She stopped and whispered to the dusk:
"Buy the ribs tomorrow and braise them."
"They... Are all greedy."

I laughed to tears in the first half, and cried until I suffocated in the second half.
This is a story about how a retired killer was "blackmailed" by a group of unreliable partners, and finally defended the entire world for them.
