Chapter 029 Trading
At first, Baizhu didn't immediately input too much internal qi, but only tentatively injected a small part first.
With this small stream of internal qi swimming in the old man's meridians, Baizhu also has a deeper understanding of the old man's physical condition.
"Not only is it physically fragile, but the old man has also been greatly damaged mentally, and it is a miracle that he has been able to hold on until now. ”
Feeling the condition of the old man's damaged meridians and the organs that had almost reached the limit, Baizhu knew that with his cultivation in the early stage of his internal qi realm, he could only let the old man live for about half a year at most.
"Shaoyun, it's not early, I'll guard the old man's house, you can go and rest first. ”
Seeing that Aunt Thirteen was already a little sleepy, Baizhu said.
"It's okay for you, I'll accompany you. ”
Aunt Thirteen said uneasily.
"It's okay, the old man's condition has stabilized, and I'll be fine myself. ”
Bai Shu got up and pushed Aunt Thirteen's shoulder and said, "Let's go, I'll send you back." ”
Pushed by Baizhu, Aunt Thirteen had a smile on her face, but her mouth was arrogant: "You have to let people go, if you can't be busy later, don't blame me." ”
"I don't blame you, I don't blame you, as long as you don't get tired, I don't blame you for anything. ”
Baizhu said with a smile.
"Hmph. ”
Aunt Thirteen's smile became sweeter and sweeter.
Coming to the door of the thirteenth aunt's room, Baizhu stopped: "Okay, hurry up and go into the room to rest." ”
Looking at the doting on Baizhu's face, the thirteenth aunt's eyes were full of affection, and while Baizhu was not paying attention, the delicate cherry lips came over and kissed gently.
"You also rest early. ”
After saying this quickly, Aunt Thirteen was so ashamed that she covered her face and ran into her room.
Stroking the cheek that was lightly kissed by the thirteenth aunt, Baizhu showed a smile.
……
Back in the room, Baizhu once again began to use internal qi to heal the old man's wounds.
"It is worthy of cultivating the true exercises, and the healing effect of this wound is comparable to that of an elixir. ”
With the continuous nourishment of the old man's body by the internal qi, Baizhu clearly felt that the vitality of the old man became more and more vigorous.
Time flies, and when the morning sun rises, the open wounds on the old man's body are basically healed by the treatment of Atractylodes, and the remaining dark injuries are powerless with the current cultivation of Atractylodes.
"Let's hope he can get through it. ”
Although I know that this is unlikely, Baizhu can only be blessed.
At this moment, he suddenly saw the old man's eyelids twitch slightly, and then opened his cloudy eyes.
"How are you feeling, old man?"
Baizhu hurriedly asked.
"I ......"
Looking at Baizhu, a look of confusion flashed in the old man's eyes, but soon, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he grabbed Baizhu's hand and said repeatedly: "Little brother, you do me a favor, go to Master Huang of Bao Zhilin, please!"
"Old man, don't get excited!"
Seeing that because he was too excited, the old man's face flushed abnormally, and Baizhu hurriedly comforted: "This is Bao Zhilin, my name is Liang Kuan, and the family teacher is Huang Feihong." ”
"This is Bao Zhilin?"
Hearing Baizhu's words, the old man looked around and said, "Where is Master Huang, I want to see Master Huang!"
"Old man, don't get excited, you're not in good health yet......"
Before Bai Shu finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old man: "How can I not be excited, there are many people waiting for Master Huang to save it!"
"I know, but the tutor isn't here now. ”
Baizhu didn't dare to tell the old man that Huang Feihong had been detained by the Yamen, but only used the excuse that he was going to go to other places for medical treatment and was not in Baozhilin.
After calming the old man down, Baizhu asked, "Old man, can you tell me what happened now?"
"Well, it's a long story......"
As the old man told the story, Baizhu also knew what happened to the old man.
The old man's name is Luo Wentai, who is also from Foshan, and last year he paid a deposit and went to the United States by boat because he heard rumors that there was a gold mountain in the United States.
But when he arrived on the ship, he regretted it a little, because the Americans on the ship beat and scolded them, not only often did not give them food, but also always ordered them to do some hard work, and before they could reach the United States, more than 30 people had died on the ship.
After arriving in the United States, Luo Wentai found that there was no gold and silver at all, and some of them were just endless coolies!
After a year of hard work there, he finally seized the opportunity to hide in Jishan's ship and followed them back to China.
"Old man, you have suffered. ”
Looking at Luo Wentai, who was in tears, Baizhu comforted softly.
"I deserve to suffer, because I am to blame for all this. ”
Luo Wentai touched his tears and said: "It was I who believed the nonsense of the Americans that led to such an end...... I know that with my body, I am afraid that I will not live long, but I am not sorry to die, but now that the Americans are still handing out leaflets on the streets, I can't watch the Chinese people continue to be deceived by them after me!"
"Old man, in that case, would you like to follow me to see Lord Admiral?"
Baizhu asked in a deep voice.
……
Admiralty's Palace.
"Liang Kuan wants to see me?"
Hearing the report of his subordinates, a trace of doubt flashed in the Admiral's eyes, and then he said, "Please ask him to go to my study." ”
A moment later, the Admiral, who had come to the study, saw Baizhu.
"Liang Kuan has seen Lord Admiral. ”
Baizhu hugged his fists and greeted.
"Liang Kuan...... I heard that Huang Feihong has entrusted Bao Zhilin to you?"
The Admiral looked Baizhu up and down.
"Liang Kuan is not talented, and he is loved by the master and temporarily manages Bao Zhilin. ”
Baizhu said modestly.
"I don't care how Huang Feihong explained to you,"
Lord Admiral's face was indifferent, "But here with me, you'd better settle down and don't get those incense halls and other moths!
For Lord Admiral's threat, Baizhu didn't pay attention to it at all, just smiled lightly and dealt with it casually.
Seeing Baizhu's reaction like this, the Admiral was secretly surprised in his heart, realizing that Baizhu seemed to be very different from Huang Feihong, as well as those people in the martial arts.
He asked, "What are you looking for today?"
Baizhu's expression was solemn and asked, "I don't know what Lord Admiral thinks of foreigners who smuggle countrymen abroad?"
"Huh?"
Lord Admiral raised his eyebrows, stared at Baizhu and said, "Liang Kuan, you have something to say." ”
"On the contrary, I'm just telling the truth. ”
Baizhu's expression was indifferent.
"Tell me the truth?"
The admiral's heart sank, and he said with a solemn expression: "Liang Kuan, do you know that if you slander foreigners, this official will not spare you!"
"How dare I deceive my lordship?"
Baizhu said: "I brought a person, whether it is true or false, the adult will know as soon as he asks." ”
"Oh?"
The Admiral looked at Baizhu suspiciously, and then ordered his subordinates to bring Luo Wentai in.
Looking at the ragged Luo Wentai, the Admiral asked, "Who are you?"
"Little ...... The villain Luo Wentai, meet the Admiral. ”
Luo Wentai suddenly fell to his knees.
"Tell me everything you know!"
Lord Admiral said.
"Yes, the villain was originally from Foshan, and he ...... last year"
Luo Wentai recounted what he had just said to Baizhu.
"Can you guarantee that everything you say is true?"
After listening to Luo Wentai's description, the admiral's eyes were full of shock, and he shouted: "As you said, there is a lie, be careful that this official kills you Liwei!"
"My lord, what the villain said is true, I dare not deceive in the slightest, if there is half a lie, I will not die well!"
Luo Wentai said loudly: "If you don't believe it, you can send someone to the American ship and find out with a search!"
Hearing Luo Wentai's words, the Admiral couldn't help but hesitate slightly.
How dare he go to the ship of the Americans to check?
Seeing the Admiral's concerns, Baizhu asked, "My lord, can you take a step to speak?"
"Huh?"
The Admiral was stunned for a moment, and then took Baizhu to the side room.
"I wonder if you would like to make a deal with me?"
Baizhu asked.
"What deal?"
The Admiral stared at Baizhu.
"I have a clue here,"
Baizhu said: "After three days, someone will escort the last group of Chinese people to Jishan's ship, and when this group of people arrives, they will immediately sail for the United States." ”
"What are you going to do?"
The Admiral's heart moved, and he asked.
"I can hide our people in these people. ”
Bai Yan said demagogically: "At that time, the lord only needs to 'justly' send someone to the merchant ship of Jishan to wait, and when I rescue the person, this big case of smuggling will be solved by the adult." ”
"What about you?"
The Admiral asked, "What do you want for giving me this credit?"
"I have only one request - to release my master from prison. ”
Baizhu replied in a deep voice.
