Chapter 8 Aftermath
()
At home, Zhang Cai and others had already cleaned up, and everyone was sitting on chairs waiting for them. Even the old lady lying on the hospital bed had gotten up. Guo Sufei quickly asked Zhang Xiaolong to speak to her grandmother, explaining that there was no big problem with her arms, and the old lady then went back to the house to rest with confidence.
Zhang Cai saw that Zhang Xiaolong had bandaged his arm and entered the house. He knew that it was nothing serious, so he felt relieved. Then he felt pain in his body and was exhausted. So he quickly asked Guo Sufei to arrange a place for the two girls to live in. This caused a problem for Guo Sufei. There were not many houses at home, and Zhang Xiaolong and the three brothers were still crowded in the same room. Seeing Guo Sufei in a dilemma, Liu Qian felt: "Auntie, let's just deal with it for one night, don't make things difficult for you." Guo Sufei thought for a while, then freed up his house, let the two girls live with him, and drove Zhang Cai to Zhang Xiaolong and the small house, and Zhang Xiaohua slept with her grandmother. Fortunately, there was a place at all.
Seeing the two girls falling asleep in the house, Zhang Cai took out the wound medicine given by Wen Wenhai, took it to Zhang Xiaolong and the three brothers, and applied the external wound medicine to Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua, which made Zhang Xiaolong and the three brothers go to bed.
When the child returned to the house, Guo Sufei pulled Zhang Cai to ask about the situation. After Zhang Cai finished talking about the situation during the day, Guo Sufei was so scared that her face looked like a mortal color. Her body shivered a little, she cried in a low voice, and said repeatedly, "The father of the child, I almost couldn't see you. We would encounter this when we went out to the market for the New Year."
Zhang Cai coaxed her and said, "It's okay, my child, have you all gone? Hurry up and collect the brand and silver notes. When it's dawn, I'll send the two girls back and give them half of them." Guo Sufei said, "We won't see so much money in our lives, so why don't we give it to them."
Zhang Cai said with a straight face: "We don't know who they are, and what the benefactor said is good. If we send it back rashly, people might even take our lives. The lives of our peasant family are not worth the money. If they come and get it, they will give it to them." Guo Sufei nodded and agreed.
After the old couple finished speaking, Zhang Cai took the medicine he took on and asked Guo Sufei to apply external injury medicine to him and slept in Zhang Xiaohua's place. Guo Sufei waited for Zhang Cai to lie down and went to see the three Xiaolong brothers, and they all fell asleep. Then he went back to the house.
After a day of frightened, the two girls in the room were already exhausted and fell asleep as they headed against the pillow. When Guo Sufei came in, they didn't know. Guo Sufei looked at the quiet faces of the two girls and smiled kindly, then seemed to have thought of something and thought about it.
Speaking of which, Wen Wenhai left the medicine for Zhang Cai and others in the afternoon, and walked with his junior sister for a while. He saw that the road was about to reach the main road, and the two stopped. Wen Wenhai said, "Junior sister, we are about to arrive at the main road. We can't use the light skills anymore. Look, we are busy saving people in the afternoon and landing the horses in the town. What should we do next?"
His junior sister said softly: "But it depends on the arrangements of the senior brother." Her voice was still nice, but it also showed indifference.
Wen Wenhai smiled bitterly and pinched his nose and said, "Junior sister, you usually ignore people and things, and have a coldness towards everything. Why do you have to rush me to save people in the afternoon? You also leave your tokens behind. If those farmers use it to do some bad things, what should you do? You can't explain to your master."
His junior sister said, "I have to thank my senior brother for taking action in the afternoon. I will report to the master about the token. I believe the master will understand me."
Wen Wenhai said: "Forget it, let's go back and tell the master together. I should also take action for the afternoon. It is the responsibility of our martial artists to help the strong and help the weak. It is not because we have a task. Otherwise, I would have taken action long ago and would not have hurt Zhang Cai and his family."
The junior sister smiled and said, "I knew that the senior brother was a kind person and would not ignore him."
Wen Wenhai said: "You little girl, you have been cold-hearted since childhood. We grew up together. I don't know what you think? However, it's still early. According to the waiter in the restaurant yesterday, there is still a lot of distance away from there, so we can't delay any more. Let's take the horses and ride them on the horse."
The junior sister still said the same thing: "But it depends on the arrangements of the senior brother."
Wen Wenhai thought for a moment and said, "Junior sister, you are wearing a veil, which is quite eye-catching. Just wait here. I'll go to the inn in the town to find a horse." After that, he didn't wait for the junior sister to speak, and walked towards Lu Town. The junior sister's words "But it depends on the arrangements of the senior brother" did not say it.
After about a stick of incense, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the other side of the road. The junior sister looked up and saw that Wen Wenhai was riding the horse. When Wen Wenhai's horse arrived, the junior sister took the reins he threw, stepped on the stirrup and turned over to ride on it. She shook the reins and rushed out like an arrow, walked along the road. Wen Wenhai shook her head, smiled, and chased after her with a shaking reins.
Besides, Zhao Quansheng from the Evil Tiger Gang led two short and fat men and a group of servants to go back dejectedly. Along the way, many people saw them from afar and quickly avoided them. Many people were puzzled when they saw that they were no longer arrogant today. These two people were the sons of wealthy businessmen in Lu Town. They have done a lot of bad things on weekdays. Today, the two families invited prominent people from Lu Town to come to their homes for a banquet. There were people from the Evil Tiger Gang inside, which made the two of them sneak out and be free and easy when they had time.
The banquet has already ended, and only the leader of the Evil Tiger Gang and the rich businessman were sitting in the garden. Seeing them happy and returning home, it was very strange that he had to call him to ask. When Zhao Quansheng saw the two fat men not daring to say anything, he came up and reported one by one. When Zhao Quansheng said that the two girls teased the two village girls, the rich businessman glared at the two fat men a few times and didn't say anything. When he said that a few peasant families actually came out to resist, the rich businessman frowned and said, "Where did the mud legs come from, and dare to make trouble?"
Zhao Quansheng did not answer his words and continued to say. When two people from the martial arts world came out, the rich businessman's face changed. The fat on his face trembled and looked at the leader of the Evil Tiger Gang. This leader was his relative, so he was very close. The leader frowned and didn't say anything. He picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea. However, when Zhao Quansheng finished speaking and said the token taken out by the scholar in white, his hand stopped and asked nervously: "What is written on it?"
Zhao Quansheng still looked frightened and replied: "Piaomiao!"
"Bang~" with a sound, the leader's teacup fell to the ground and broke into several pieces. The rich businessman didn't care too much, but when he saw that his relative who had always been calm was afraid of being like this, he couldn't help but be shocked and asked quickly: "Brother Zhao, what is Piaomiao?"
Brother Zhao didn't answer his words, stood up, walked to the two short fat men, raised his hand and slapped them, and slapped them several times in the face, and their faces immediately swollen, and bloodshots flowed out of their mouths. The two were so scared that they wanted to leave but dared not leave, but just shouted "Uncle San" to beg for mercy. Brother Zhao said angrily: "You two prodigal things have done a lot of bad things to bully men and women on weekdays. Your father has bought you a concubine of the fourth room for you. Why are you not satisfied? Is that village girl very beautiful?"
Seeing that the two people were afraid to speak, they forced themselves to ask, "Say, are they beautiful?"
The two said, "It's not very beautiful, but I just look pretty and feel itchy~"
Brother Zhao San laughed in anger and said, "If you are not beautiful, you will tease me. You are still itchy. You really should chop off your hands. Do you know how much trouble you have caused?"
At this time, the rich businessman also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Third, is the disaster a lot?"
Brother Zhao did not answer his question, but squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and suddenly said strangely: "You two are back so well?" The question of this sentence is very abrupt, and the two short and fat men don't know how to answer it.
Zhao Quansheng took the words and said, "Master, this is the case." Then he told all the things that followed. The third brother Zhao sat on the chair again, closed his eyes and stopped talking, as if he was thinking about things. A fat man who had just been beaten muttered heartlessly: "I said he was giving two hundred taels of silver, but I didn't count it much, so I gave it a total of five hundred taels of silver. When I was free tomorrow, I had to find out which mud leg was coming out and I had to ask them to return the silver."
Brother Zhao opened his eyes at this time, slapped the table in anger, and said loudly: "Bastard, you dare to go! You may not want to take back this money in the future, that is your life-buying money."
The rich businessman came over and said, "Third brother, why are you fighting a puzzle? I've been confused. Five hundred taels of silver are not much, but you have to let me know the reason."
Brother Zhao San smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, do you know Wu Jianzhuang?"
The rich businessman said puzzledly: "I know, I'm the backer of your Evil Tiger Gang, I naturally know this."
Brother Zhao San continued, "Then you know the Lotus Escort Agency."
The rich businessman nodded and said he knew.
"Who is better than the Lotus Escort Agency or Wu Jianzhuang?" asked Brother Zhao San.
The wealthy businessman smiled and said, "Everyone has the same power, no equal."
Brother Zhao San smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, we are proud. Wu Jianzhuang is more than inferior to the Lotus Escort Agency. Everyone in the world knows this, so you don't have to gild our face."
"But what does this Lotus Escort Agency have to do with Piaomiao?" The rich businessman was a little surprised.
