Chapter 8

At home, Zhang Cai and the others had already cleaned up. Everyone was sitting on the chairs waiting for them. Even the old lady who was lying on the bed had gotten up.

Guo Sufei hurriedly asked Zhang Xiaolong to speak to her grandmother and explain that there was no big problem with her arm. Only then did the old lady relax and return to her room to rest.

Zhang Cai saw that Zhang Xiaolong's arm was bandaged and entered the room. Knowing that there was no big problem, his heart relaxed.

Only then did he feel that his body was full of pain and was extremely tired.

Thus, he hurriedly asked Guo Sufei to arrange a place for the two girls to stay.

This gave Guo Sufei a difficult problem. There weren't many rooms at home, and the three brothers were still squeezed into one room.

Seeing Guo Sufei's difficult expression, Liu Qianzhi said, "Auntie, the two of us can just deal with it for one night. Don't be troubled."

Guo Sufei thought about it and vacated her room for the two girls to stay with her. She chased Zhang Cai to the small room where Zhang Xiaolong and the others were staying. Zhang Xiaohua slept with her grandmother. Fortunately, there was a place for them to stay.

Seeing that the two girls had entered the room to sleep, Zhang Cai took out the medicine that Wen Wenhai had given him and gave it to the three brothers. He also applied external medicine to Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua before letting the three brothers go to sleep.

When the children returned to their room, Guo Sufei pulled Zhang Cai to ask about the situation.

When Zhang Cai finished telling Guo Sufei everything that had happened during the day, Guo Sufei was so scared that her face turned ashen.

Her body was trembling a little. She cried softly and said, "Father of the children, we almost couldn't see you again. We went to the market during the New Year and encountered this."

Zhang Cai coaxed her and said, "It's okay. Mother of the children, isn't it all in the past?

Hurry up and put away this token and the banknotes.

When the sun rises, send the two girls back and give them half. "

Guo Sufei said, "There's so much money. We'll never see so much money in our lifetime. Why don't we just return it to them?"

Zhang Cai said with a straight face, "We don't know who they are. Moreover, our benefactor is right. If we rashly return it, they might want our lives. The lives of farmers aren't worth anything.

At that time, if they come to take it, just give it to them. "Guo Sufei nodded in agreement.

After the old couple finished talking, Zhang Cai took the medicine orally and asked Guo Sufei to apply the ointment for him. He then went to sleep in Zhang Xiaohua's place.

Guo Sufei waited for Zhang Cai to lie down, then went to check on the three Xiaolong brothers. They had also fallen asleep, and only then did she return to her room.

The two girls in the room were tired after the fright of the day, and fell asleep as soon as their heads touched the pillows.

When Guo Sufei came in, they didn't know.

Guo Sufei looked at the two girls' quiet faces and smiled kindly. Then she seemed to have thought of something and became pensive.

In the afternoon, after Wen Wenhai left the ointment for Zhang Cai and the others, he and his junior sister used qinggong to walk for a while. Seeing that they were about to reach the main road, the two of them stopped.

Wen Wenhai said, "Junior sister, we're about to reach the main road. We can't use qinggong anymore. You see, we were busy saving people in the afternoon and left the horses in town. What should we do next?"

His junior sister said softly, "We'll follow senior brother's arrangements." Her voice was still pleasant to hear, but also cold.

Wen Wenhai smiled bitterly and pinched his nose as he said, "Junior Martial Sister, I see that you're usually indifferent to people and things, and you're always indifferent to everything. Why did you insist on me going to save someone in the afternoon?

You even left your token behind. If those farmers used it to do bad things, what should we do?

You won't be able to explain it to master. "

His junior sister said, "I have to thank senior brother for this afternoon's matter. I'll report to master about the token. I believe master will understand."

Wen Wenhai said, "Forget it. Let's go back and tell master. I should've also taken action in the afternoon's matter. Eliminating the strong and helping the weak is the responsibility of us martial artists. It's because we have a mission. Otherwise, I would've already taken action and wouldn't have let Zhang Cai's family get hurt."

His junior sister smiled and said, "I knew senior brother was a kind person and wouldn't leave them alone."

Wen Wenhai said, "You little girl, you've been cold and warm-hearted since you were young. We grew up together, so how could I not know what you're thinking?

However, it's still early. According to the waiter at the restaurant yesterday, there's still a long way to go. We can't delay any longer. Let's go get the horses and ride them. "

His junior sister still said, "I'll follow senior brother's arrangements."

Wen Wenhai thought for a moment and said, "Junior sister, you're wearing a veil. You'll attract a lot of attention. Just wait here. I'll go to the inn in town to find a horse." After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for her to speak and walked towards Lu Town.

His junior sister didn't say "I'll follow senior brother's arrangements."

After about the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the main road. His junior sister raised her head and saw Wen Wenhai riding his horse over.

When Wen Wenhai's horse came to her side, the junior sister took the reins he threw to her. She stepped on the stirrups and jumped onto the horse. With a shake of the reins, she shot out like an arrow, leaving behind a trail of dust along the main road. Wen Wenhai shook his head and smiled. He also shook the reins and patted his horse to chase after her.

Back to the Evil Tiger Gang's Zhao Quan Sheng and the two short fat men, as well as a group of servants, dejectedly walked back. Along the way, many people saw them from a distance and quickly avoided them. There were also many people who saw that they weren't as arrogant as they were in the past and were endlessly puzzled.

These two people were the sons of a wealthy merchant in Lu Town. Normally, they bullied men and women and did many bad things. Today, the two families had invited all the important people in Lu Town to a banquet. Among these people were the Evil Tiger Gang members. This was why the two of them had the time to sneak out and live freely.

At this time, the banquet had already ended. Only the leader of the Evil Tiger Gang and the wealthy merchant were left sitting in the garden. Seeing them leave in such a good mood and return disappointed, they found it strange and called them over to ask.

Zhao Quan Sheng saw that the two fat men didn't dare to say anything, so he went over and reported one by one.

When Zhao Quan Sheng said that the two of them had taken liberties with two village girls, the wealthy merchant glared at the two fat men and didn't say anything. When he said that a few farmers had actually come out to fight, the wealthy merchant frowned and said, "Where did these bumpkins come from? How dare they cause trouble?"

Zhao Quan Sheng didn't reply and continued to report. When he said that two people from the jianghu had come out, the wealthy merchant's expression changed. The fat on his face trembled as he looked at the leader of the Evil Tiger Gang. This leader was his relative, so they had always been very close. Only then did the leader frown and didn't say anything. He even picked up his teacup and drank some tea.

However, when Zhao Quan Sheng finished speaking and mentioned the token that the white-clothed scholar had taken out, his hand stopped and he nervously asked, "What is written on it?"

Zhao Quan Sheng still had a frightened expression as he replied, "Misty!"

"Clang!" The leader's teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

The wealthy merchant didn't care too much at first, but when he saw that his usually calm relative was scared to this extent, he couldn't help but be shocked. He quickly asked, "Third Brother Zhao, what is a misty?"

Third Brother Zhao didn't reply. He stood up and walked in front of the two fat men. He raised his hand and slapped them. After a few slaps, their faces immediately swelled up and blood flowed out from the corners of their mouths.

The two of them were so scared that they didn't dare to leave even if they wanted to. They could only call out "Third Uncle" and beg for mercy.

Third Brother Zhao angrily said, "You two prodigal things. Normally, you've done no lack of bad things like bullying men and taking women. Your father has already given you four concubines. Why aren't you satisfied?

Is that village girl very pretty? "

Seeing that the two of them didn't dare to speak, he forced them to say, "Speak, is she pretty?"

The two of them said, "She's not very pretty. She just looks delicate and pretty. My heart itches."

Third Brother Zhao was so angry that he laughed and said, "If she's not pretty, then you should take liberties with her. Your hands are itchy too. I really should chop off your hands. Do you know how much trouble you've caused?"

At this time, the wealthy merchant also knew the severity of the situation. He quickly walked forward and asked, "Third Brother, is the trouble very big?"

Third Brother Zhao didn't answer his question. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. Suddenly, he said strangely, "Why did the two of you come back in one piece?" This question was very abrupt. The two fat men didn't know how to answer.

Zhao Quan Sheng took over and said, "Hall Master, it's like this." He then told him everything that had happened.

That Third Brother Zhao sat back down in his chair. He closed his eyes and didn't speak again. It was as if he was thinking about something.

One of the fat men who had just been beaten muttered heartlessly, "They said they would give us two hundred taels of silver. I didn't really count before I gave them five hundred taels of silver in banknotes. When I'm free tomorrow, I'll get someone to find out which bumpkin gave us this money. I'll make sure they return it."

Third Brother Zhao opened his eyes at this time. He angrily slammed the table and said loudly, "Bastard, you dare to go!

You're not allowed to take this money back in the future. That's the money you used to buy your lives. "

The wealthy merchant came over and said, "Third Brother, what are you talking about? You've confused your little brother.

Five hundred taels of silver isn't much, but you still have to let me know the reason. "

Third Brother Zhao smiled wryly and said, "Little brother, you know Wu Jianzhuang right?"

The wealthy merchant said puzzledly, "I know. Isn't that the big backer of your Evil Tiger Gang? Of course I know this."

Third Brother Zhao continued, "Then you know the Lotus Flower Escort Agency."

The wealthy merchant nodded and said he knew.

"Lotus Flower Escort Agency and Wu Jianzhuang, who is more powerful?" Third Brother Zhao asked.

The wealthy merchant smiled and said, "Everyone's power is the same. There's no clear winner."

Third Brother Zhao smiled wryly and said, "Little brother thinks too highly of us. Wu Jianzhuang is much weaker than the Lotus Flower Escort Agency. Everyone in the jianghu knows this. You don't have to flatter us."

"But, what does this Lotus Flower Escort Agency have to do with the Misty School?" The wealthy merchant was a bit puzzled.

"The Lotus Flower Escort Agency is only a branch of the Misty School's Outer Hall!"

Third Brother Zhao's words were like a huge stick that hit everyone's heads. The two short fat men were stunned. They never would've thought that taking liberties with two village girls who weren't pretty in this small Lu Town would cause such a big problem!

Luckily, when Zhao Quansheng asked them to pay the money, although they were extremely unwilling, they still obediently followed his orders. Otherwise, the two fat men wouldn't have dared to think any further.
