C9 7 Greed for Gold Is like Bait One Wants to be the Hook for the Yellow Springs

Watching Ren Sher's figure disappear at the end of the street, Chen Wanniang breathed a sigh of relief. After sending Ling Tianpeng off, she turned around and walked back to the square. With a few leaps, she arrived beside Qiu Cai and asked anxiously, "How is it?"

Liu Chong slapped his chest and laughed, "If I were to make a move, what would Sister Chen worry about? "Now that the venom has come out, I'll give you a prescription. If Big Brother Qiu can take a few more days to recuperate, I guarantee that you'll be full of vitality and be stronger than if you weren't poisoned!"

"That's good." Seeing that Qiu Cai's face was as red as ever, Chen Wanniang also revealed a smile. She glanced at Liu Chong a few more times and said, "Wu Tie, in a few days it will be winter. Your residence is covered in wind; I'm afraid it will freeze you to death. Why don't you tell your brothers to clean up and make room for you in the gambling den? "

Liu Chong chuckled and said, "That would be great!" Sister Chen paused for a moment, her face turning serious. "Wait! Sister Chen, do you mean to tell me to stay here for nothing?" Chen Wanniang smiled faintly and said, "You little scoundrel! "How about this, you saved Qiu Cai's life and paid the rent for his medical fees, what do you say?"

"Well." "Let me calculate." Liu Chong rolled his eyes, pointed his fingers and muttered, "The Buddhist family said 'saving a life is like creating a seventh level pagoda'. That 'Buddha' is a pagoda! Sister Chen only gave me this one room, I've really suffered a huge loss … Forget it, forget it, I'm merciful. "Only my medicine box...

Behind Chen Wanniang, Hee Yang, Yang Tiancheng, and Fu Yigan saw that Chief Shopkeeper was bowing humbly to this kid and already had a bit of impatience written on their faces. Seeing that Chief Shopkeeper was taking things a step further, their faces couldn't help but turn angry, and Fu Yigao shouted even more, "Liu, don't push your luck! Otherwise, if you were to live here, you'll be in for it! "

Hee Yang also slowly said, "That's right. Chief Shopkeeper was the merciful one. He was afraid that the nanny snake would come back and harm your life in order to accept you here. "Liu, you better not be too excessive."

However, Chen Wanniang's gaze swept past the three of them and her heart trembled. When he saw Fu Yicheng, he thought of that figure from back then, who was curling his lips as he scolded them while placing the rations there. He also thought of how his group had grown weak just now, and he felt even more annoyed. He thought to himself, "Long time no see." Who would have thought that the youths from back then were now completely different? In the past four years, Little Four's vicious aura gradually appeared, but Hee Yang's scheming became more and more powerful. He guessed that my thoughts were actually accurate, and purposely said it out to please me. Ol 'Three should have understood this as well, but he kept his mouth shut. He wanted to avoid the limelight and use his second brother's words to speak. He was so happy that he didn't want to cause any trouble. Sigh... Only this boss ", with a change of his eyes, looked at Qiu Cai, full of pity," Still, only knowing how to treat others sincerely, in the future, you will definitely suffer! "

Liu Chong saw that he had angered the crowd, so no matter how "arrogant" he was, he had to restrain himself. He smiled and said, "Brothers, I was just joking with Sister Chen. What are you guys serious about?" He turned to Sister Chen and asked, "Sister Chen, did Dragon Mistress leave any gold ingots outside just now?"

It was fine if he did not mention it, but when he did, Chen Wanniang reprimanded him, "Do you want to die?" Sher's entire body was filled with poison. Who knows what powerful items she left on the gold. Even if you can't see it right now, it is bound to be a hidden evil! "

Liu Chong did not dare to raise his head because a scolding was coming straight at him. As he said that, he couldn't help but look towards the door. There were more and more trips outside the door. The golden light shone and it was a beggar holding the ingot and laughing joyfully. No one knew where he had gone to.

"Sigh, what a pity!" With this glance, Liu Chong almost died of heartache. He curled his lips and felt a little pain on his nose. Just as he was about to lower his head in grief, he heard the laughter on the street suddenly stop. Replacing it was a shrill scream. Everyone rushed to the entrance of the gambling den. At the end of the street, the beggar had been cut into several pieces and scattered on the ground with blood dripping all over. It was unknown who had snatched the gold away from him.

"A windfall, a loss of life, a loss of fortune and misfortune." Chen Wanniang shook her head and looked at Liu Chong, "Did you see it?"

Liu Chong didn't say a word as he thought, "I am naturally different from this beggar." He took the gold ingot and showed it off in his hands. It would be weird if he didn't get himself killed! " Squinting his eyes again, the beggar's hands looked as normal as usual. Seeing that there was no poison on the gold ingot, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, "If I had known earlier, I would have gone out to get some gold just now when Sister Chen wasn't paying attention. I don't believe that anyone would dare to attack me after I enter the gambling den. "

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chen Wanniang thought that he was truly afraid of the disaster of being greedy for money. Seeing that Sheng Chang, Ye Keying, and Yuanzhi were still standing not far away from them, they slowly walked to Yuanzhi's side, stretched out their hands and took Ye Keying from Yuanzhi's embrace. Only then did the girl breathe a sigh of relief, and with a "wow", she finally burst into tears: "Snakes, snakes, so many snakes …" Master, so many snakes … " It was as if he could only feel a sliver of peace when he held Chen Wanniang tightly in her arms.

"Alright, Keying, don't cry." Chen Wanniang suddenly felt sorry for Keying. After all, she had been in the gambling den for more than a year, and in addition to her initial fear, she would put on a cold face that refused to budge at all times. She would clash with her "master" all the time, and only now would she truly think of herself as relying.

"Although Sher will most likely not return, it is hard to be certain. Keying, you can sleep with me tonight. As for your big brother … " Chen Wanniang said as she looked at Sheng Chang. That simple-minded teenager understood tacitly and nodded his head immediately, "I have a vacant seat over there. Please let Master Yuanzhi and I suffer for the night. We will plan our next move tomorrow."

"Ai, this …" Thank you very much, sir. " Yuanzhi clasped his hands together in a bow. With a flick of his wide sleeves, a stream of water fell onto the stone floor. He was scared to death just now as he was drenched in cold sweat, as if he had just been exposed to heaven's Qi.

At this point in time, the poison in Qiu Cai's body had already been dispelled. Apart from a slight dizziness and some minor injuries, he was fine. With the help of Hee Yang and the other two, he also arrived at the gambling den's entrance. He put a hand on Liu Chong's shoulder and said, "Liu, I'm really sorry about today. All of your medicine has been destroyed by me …"

Liu Chong chuckled and said, "What did Big Brother Qiu say? You also did it to save my life. A mere chest of medicine, what does it count as? "

"Yes." Qiu Cai smiled and waved his hand. Yang Tiancheng had already brought a bag of silver and passed it to Liu Chong. "This was left here by that patient in the morning."

"But I only said it was 10 taels of silver!" Liu Chong weighed the bag of silver, his eyes were a little dazed. This bag of silver, no matter how heavy it was, was worth at least fifty silver taels.

"The patient said that he still has a patient in his family. I hope you can make a trip there tomorrow. This is considered a deposit." Yang Tiancheng said.

"Too much!" Liu Chong glared and twitched his mouth, "You know full well that I'm not willing to give a diagnosis, what's this supposed to be? "Who left this deposit?"

"It's me." Hee Yang glanced at him. Liu Chong knew that this Second Brother He was an insidious person and could not be offended. When he heard Hee Yang's words, his anger was abruptly quelled. However, he cursed in his heart, "Despicable scumbag, you must have taken my silver!" "Humph, I wish you are no different from that beggar, 'Blessed as the East Sea, longevity as the South Mountain'!"

Qiu Cai lightly glanced at Hee Yang, then turned back to Liu Chong and smiled, "Liu, this is the second time you have saved me. "From now on, this gambling den will be your home. I have already instructed the servants to go to your residence and bring your things here. If you have anything else you want, just ask me for some silver from here. No need to stand on ceremony."

"Mm. Alright." Of course, Liu Chong did not know how to be polite, and agreed readily. He then heard Qiu Cai say: "Chief Shopkeeper is right, we have to be on guard against that Dragon Mistress and come back. "You'll sleep in my room tonight, and after this period of time, you can go back to your own room. How about that?"

"Yes." Liu Chong nodded, "Big Brother Qiu still needs to go through the needle before he can get rid of the remaining poison." It's more convenient for me to stay in your room. "

That night, Liu Chong collapsed in Qiu Cai's room. The events of the day flashed by in front of his eyes. There were a few times when he was startled but was not in danger. It caused the youth's mood to become agitated, making it difficult for him to fall asleep. Suddenly, he felt Qiu Cai roll over beside him. He then heard him ask, "Liu, with your medical skills, if you were willing to visit a clinic, you could have bought a clinic with the money you earned in less than three to five years. Why do you keep setting up stalls in front of the gambling house?"

Liu Chong chuckled and said, "For Sister Chen's face, there's no need to pay any protection fee to any gang in front of the gambling den."

Qiu Cai sneered and said, "Don't beat around the bush. The fee doesn't have anything to do with your diagnosis. Just answer honestly."

Liu Chong was silent for a while, but then he asked, "Big Brother Qiu, do you think this is a chaotic world or a world?" Qiu Cai said, "Of course it's chaotic." Liu Chong acknowledged and said, "That's right." The Twisted Soldiers, foreigners, White Lotus Cult, the Heaven and Earth Society, the Worship Church, gangs of all sizes, they fought too much and fought too many battles every day. It was hard to avoid the fact that there were no gangs in this city. If I was willing to go to the clinic, I would be invited to the bandit's lair, and I wouldn't be able to escape. "If I don't, I'll die. If I do, I won't be too far off from death. I might as well guard this precious land, which is located in front of the gambling den, and protect my life first. If I earn money, I'll live and spend it.

Qiu Cai secretly nodded and smiled, "I didn't know that at your age, your heart is full, unlike those greedy people." Liu Chong replied, "It's still clear to you, Big Brother Qiu. If Sister Chen had also seen it clearly, then the gold ingot would not have fallen into someone else's hands."

Qiu Cai feigned anger and said, "Good God, Liu. After all this time, you still have to blame Chief Shopkeeper. I'll tell her tomorrow and send you back to your shitty house! " Liu Chong quickly smiled and said, "No, no, I just died because of that beggar." "Speaking of which, no matter how much money we earn, it would be useless to meet such a suicidal robber!"

When Qiu Cai heard this, he could not help but think of the deed he did a few years ago. His face was a little hot, and using the moonlight, he saw that Liu Tie's expression was normal, so he knew that Liu Tie was just doing it smoothly. Then he took a deep breath and said seriously, "Liu, you saved my life today, and I, Qiu Cai, have nothing to repay you.
