C16 14 Fleeting New Year's Resentment Just like Yesterday's Presence in front of My Eyes
Chen Wanniang and Sheng Chang rushed into the Phoenix Pavilion. The bawd knew that the "Gold Casino" was not a kind person and did not dare to stop them. She only brought the other girls to hide at the side and did not even bother to entertain the guests.
When Chen Wanniang arrived at Jing Lian's room, she saw that it was a mess. Liu Chong was lying on the floor, completely unaware. Blood was trickling down from the corners of his mouth, and Ye Keying was kneeling beside him with tears in her eyes. Qiu Cai stood protectively in front of the two of them with a short dagger in his hand. They faced off against Luo Zhongkai and the atmosphere was very tense. As for Phoenix Pavilion's number one, Jing Lian, she was curled up in a corner of the bed, trembling non-stop as her teeth clattered loudly. There was a red line on her fair neck, as if it had been cut by a dagger.
"How did Liu Chong get injured?" Chen Wanniang walked to Liu Chong's side in a few steps. With two fingers on her right hand, she reached for his pulse. At the same time, she looked at Ye Keying and asked word by word.
Before Ye Keying could reply, the man's stiff and indifferent voice came from the other side, "This little girl jumped into the room, and without saying anything further, she used her killing move on me. That young man was even more ungrateful. Seeing that Lian'er was weak, he took out a dagger and placed it on her neck, trying to force me to submit to him. I hate people who threaten me the most in my life, so I made a move. So what? Chen Wanniang, this is the good disciple you taught me.
From the moment Chen Wanniang entered the room, she had not looked at the man — — Luo Zhongkai. It was only when he opened his mouth to speak that she raised her head. The man was still wearing a coarse peasant outfit. It was impossible to see his master's appearance. He looked as handsome as before. The only change was that his black hair was now black and white. He looked even more handsome than the old man in the flowery armor. She could not help but feel pain in her heart. However, thinking back to the past, she gritted her teeth with a cold expression. She looked at Ye Keying and asked, "Is it true?"
Ye Keying's face was filled with both hate and fear as she said, "He reached out his claw towards my neck. If Liu Chong hadn't pulled me away in time, I would have been harmed!" Chief Shopkeeper, I don't know what kind of method this evil man used, but with a casual pat, he managed to get so far away from Liu Chong, causing Liu Chong to suffer such heavy injuries! "Motherf * cker, my father is dead, my family property is stolen, and now that I've injured Liu Chong, if anything happens to Liu Chong, I will definitely make this evil man pay with his blood!"
Chen Wanniang's expression turned even darker as she slowly said, "Sky Splitting Palm … Luo Zhongkai, this young man has no enmity with you, and his martial arts are as different as heaven and earth from yours. "To be able to act so viciously, it seems that I was truly ignorant back then."
Luo Zhongkai sneered, "I am ruthless? He put the knife against my woman's neck. I didn't kill him, just kept him from moving for most of the year. If this little girl wants to take my life, I won't even touch a single hair on her head. You say that I am cruel and merciless? "
Qiu Cai did not say anything, but then he said coldly, "You did not touch Keying at all, but you wanted to capture her alive. If I had been even half a step late, Keying would have already been captured by you! "
The moment the word "refining" came out, Luo Zhongkai's face also changed. Chen Wanniang saw it clearly and knew that the others had guessed correctly. She could not help but feel sad and say, "Forget it. Qiu Cai, you carry Liu. Be careful, don't hurt his internal organs again. Sheng Chang, bring Keying with you and come back with me. " Then, without another glance at Luo Zhongkai, he got up and left.
Luo Zhongkai was stunned and suddenly shouted, "Wan'er, do you remember what day it is today?" As soon as the word "Wan'er" came out of his mouth, the purple-dressed woman paused for a second, but only for a second, and then she kept walking. Her reply came from afar, calm and indifferent, "I don't remember anymore. Your esteemed self has also forgotten. "
Everyone hurried back to the gambling den. Chen Wanniang knew that Luo Zhongkai wouldn't lie to her about the weight of her hand, but she was still worried when she saw Liu Chong's face was like a piece of golden paper, still unconscious. Once he returned to the gambling house, he went straight to Liu Chong's small room and called Xie Huan over. Together with Qiu Cai, the three of them helped to treat Liu Chong's injuries.
There was a huge difference in the strength of the three people. Qiu Cai had only opened one meridian and had to go back to his room to rest. Chen Wanniang, on the other hand, had opened two. The rest of the meridians were opened up by Xie Huan. The Art of Immeasurable, just like its name, was indeed limitless, it was inexhaustible, and it was also a loss like this. Liu Chong finally opened his eyes before daybreak.
Ye Keying, who had been guarding Liu Chong in front of his bed, quickly approached him and asked softly, "What do you think?" Liu Chong forced a smile, but he still felt a sharp pain coming from his chest from time to time. He almost couldn't breathe, so he used all of his strength and muttered: "I have a white bag in my medicine box, and inside it is the 'King of Hell Pill of Qi'. Take two and dissolve them in the water, let me drink it."
Ye Keying could finally relax and burst into laughter. Indeed, since the little genius doctor from Luoyang City has woken up and also has self-made medicine to eat, then the injury will not be far from being completely healed.
That medicine was indeed effective. After taking it, Liu Chong's face became rosy again. His eyeballs rolled around and his expression returned to normal. Seeing this, Xie Huan faintly smiled and said, "Little Godly Doctor, you indeed live up to your reputation." He got up and left the room to rest. Chen Wanniang was relieved and instructed her servants to take good care of him. She then called Sheng Chang back to the gambling den to prepare for the day's business.
Lili and Liu Chong were the only ones left in the room. Liu Chong smiled and gestured for Ye Keying to sit closer. He forced a smile and said, "Little Keying, you … "You owe me a favor this time." Ye Keying snorted and said: "Fine." In the future, you can call me Junior Sister, so I won't fight with you anymore. "
Liu Chong waved his hand weakly and said hoarsely, "I don't want this favor, I want you to promise me one thing …" Ye Keyingqi said, "What is it? "You …" He wanted to urge him on, but seeing that he was having difficulty breathing, he suppressed his urge and changed his tone. "Speak slowly, don't be impatient."
Liu Chong answered with a "En", and then said word by word, "I want you to promise me that before I finish practicing martial arts, you must not go to Luo Zhongkai. His kung fu is too strong, we are not his match. " Ye Keying didn't expect him to care so much about her. She couldn't help but feel touched, and her eyes became hot, as if she was about to cry. But she didn't expect Liu Chong to say something else. If I treat you, even if I have to pay for my own treatment, the medicine will be useless. "Take the Hades' King Pill for example. Normally, one pill would be sold for dozens of silver taels, but now, I can use two of them at once. It's really, really painful for me to die."
The more Ye Keying listened, the angrier she became. Her face gradually turned from pink to white, and she wanted to slap Liu Chong in the chest a few times. When she finally heard what he had to say, she could not help but stand up. Her momentum was so great that the round chair made of pear wood fell to the side with a thud. Liu Chong Yuan was in a daze and was woken up by the sound of the wooden chair. He recovered his wits and looked at the little girl in front of him. He quickly smiled and said in a low voice, "Shi … Sister, what happened to you?"
"Tell me what happened to me." Ye Keying glared angrily as her tone of voice also became much higher. Liu Chong laughed mischievously, which then affected the wound on his chest. He began to cough continuously, and as he coughed, he said, "Cough..." It's me. Cough cough cough … Cough cough... I can only ask my eldest senior brother if you don't believe me... Cough cough cough cough … The last time he was poisoned by the Venomous Dragon … Cough cough … Didn't you also give me some silver coins? " These were all transactions between him and Qiu Cai in private. Not to mention the fact that the silver was used by Qiu Cai as compensation for his medicine box, even if there really was a medical fee, Ye Keying did not know about it. However, seeing that his words were supported by evidence and he was coughing so harshly, her heart softened. She sat down on the round stool and said, "You said it yourself, if I want to see you again in the future, I'll see if you dare to accept my money!"
Liu Chong smiled and said, "Of course not, I don't dare." Pausing for a moment, he asked, "You said that Luo Zhongkai killed your foster father and stole your family's property, what exactly happened? "Keying, we've known each other for almost two years, but I still don't know how you managed to get here and owe Sister Chen one million silver taels."
Upon hearing his question, Ye Keying could not help but turn gloomy. "Fine, I guess I told you everything that everyone else in the gambling den knows." Her small hand lightly touched the edge of the bed, her expression a little dazed, as she slowly recounted the painful past: "My birth parents started out in a business, and were harmed by bandits. Before they died, they entrusted me to their good friend, Yu Chuan and his wife, who were my foster parents. The son of the Yu Family was my big brother, Yu Hongfei, who was also the current Yuanzhi. My foster father and godmother treated me like their own child, and my big brother followed my lead in everything. Ever since I was young, I had plenty of luxurious clothes and food, and even had maids and wives taking care of me. But all this was different when I was eight years old. My mother, she was seriously ill and unfortunately passed away. " At this point, Ye Keying's eyes reddened slightly, her beautiful face was covered with a layer of haze, and she uncontrollably addressed the word "adopted mother" as "mother". Liu Chong thought about his past and also sighed. He then listened to her continue slowly.
"When he was beaten by this, he was unable to recover, and the wicked took advantage of the situation and urged him to take the opium. Father's addiction to tobacco was very strong. Not only did he let go of all his family business, he even took out all his silver taels to buy opium. He even asked the evildoer for a loan at a high interest. My brother was only fifteen years old and didn't know what he was doing, so in just a few short months, millions of dollars were gone and my father died from taking too much opium. "
Liu Chong couldn't help but feel sorry for her as he saw her crying. He thought to himself that she was usually carefree and was a treasured object that everyone in the gambling den loved. Who would have known that she would suffer so much in the past?
Ye Keying continued: "Later on, Ren Sher came to us with a note that Father had made, saying that Father's debt would be paid back, and we owe Rakasha Sect a million silver taels. We must capture Big Brother and I and return. Big brother and I were very scared. Fortunately, big brother was born with great strength. In a rush, he broke the pillar of the house and escaped with me in his arms due to the chaos. Afterwards, they fled day and night. Ren Sher was proficient in the art of serpents. Everywhere we went, there were poisonous snakes. Those days were filled with fear and trepidation. If he really wanted to, he might as well die and get over it once and for all. There were several times that I wanted to be bitten to death by a poisonous snake, but all of them were dodged by the snake. Now that I think about it, it must have been because Rakasha Sect allowed us two to live. "
At this time, Liu Chong suddenly thought about the matters of the Yuan and Huang Families. It seemed that Rakasha Sect was not only meant for the youth's blood, but also for the youth's wealth. It was no wonder that all of the people who were in trouble were rich. It was really unknown why Rakasha Sect took so much money. Could it be that he was going to rob the rich to help the poor? He sneered in his heart and hated Luo Zhongkai even more.
Ye Keying continued to explain slowly, "After running away like this for ten days, Big Bro and I finally exhausted ourselves and fell into the forest. Seeing Ren Sher's figure not far away, surrounded by poisonous snakes, we could no longer escape. Right at that moment, the melody of a flute rang out, causing the several hundred poisonous snakes to turn around and retreat. After that, a man dressed in green slowly walked out from the depths of the forest and shouted at Ren Sher. At that time, I only thought I was saved, so I fell into a deep slumber. "
Liu Chong was puzzled and asked, "You think you can only be saved?" Ye Keying nodded and said, "That's right." When I woke up, that man had already disappeared. After my elder brother said he saved us, he left a message. He said that he couldn't stop Ren Sher and could only block this moment. If the two of us want to live, then we can only enter Luoyang City and find 'Gold Casino'. "
Liu Chong said, "He also didn't say who he is? "In this day and age, it must be a master that has the ability to resist Ren Sher's Snake Gathering Art with just one song!" Ye Keying said, "He was unwilling to say. My brother was also stiff, so he didn't ask. However, according to my speculations, he should be the Head of Department 'Qian Da', Ding Yao, from Rakasha Sect.
She paused for a moment, then continued, "From then on, Big Brother and I decided to choose our direction, and we wholeheartedly fled towards the Luoyang. Since there is hope, no matter how difficult and arduous the journey is, we are not afraid. Finally, in the next year, at Luoyang City's Peony Blossom Meet, we found the 'Thousand Gold' gambling house. By then, it was already late in the morning, so you had to pack up and go home, so you didn't know it. Ren Sher followed the two of us into the square, but was stopped by Chief Shopkeeper and severely injured her Long'er. Then, Chief Shopkeeper gave her a note worth one million silver taels, saying that he wanted to help us redeem ourselves and repay our debts. From now on, she is our creditor, and it has nothing to do with Rakasha Sect at all. "
"Ren Sher returned resentfully. She threatened to say 'Vengeance is a gentleman, it's not too late for ten years'. Unexpectedly, Chief Shopkeeper kicked my brother out of the gambling house and made him invest in his own family. If he couldn't get a million silver, or if he can't win back the money in the gambling house, he wanted me to work for thirty years as a laborer in the gambling house. At first, I thought she and Ren Sher were the same, but after coming back, she really didn't have any good intentions. Now that I know of it, she felt that 'teaching others to fish is better than teaching them to fish'. She wanted us to practice martial arts properly so that we could protect ourselves in the future and not have to rely on others' breathing. "
"That's right." Liu Chong sat up slowly and smiled, "But in my opinion, Chief Shopkeeper also has his own plans. Otherwise, why didn't you keep your big brother here? I thought he was more honest than Brother Sheng, but staying in the gambling den is also a loss of money and food? "
Ye Keyingbai looked at him and said, "Are you fully recovered now? Why didn't Luo Zhongkai's palm strike that smelly mouth of yours! I've told you everything about me. What about you? How did you come to the Luoyang, how did you learn to practice medicine, and how could you set up a stall in front of the gambling den? You can tell me all about it. "
