Chapter 54: The Barbarians
Looking at the sleeping Gu Xiyuan, Su Xiruo twisted his brows, and went downstairs to renew some money.
Ah Jiu asked, "Are you going to keep him here all the time?" He made the boss of that underground boxing stadium lose so much money, and if he didn't leave Nanyun City quickly, those people would kill him. β
Behind this kind of shady private boxing ring, there are generally several bosses.
Only if they are particularly optimistic about a person's strength, these bosses will bet heavily on this person.
They had heard what they had just said.
To be honest, Gu Xiyuan was able to fight until the eighth game before lying down, which is much more powerful than ordinary fighters.
But those bosses have lost so much money, and they have to pay the price.
One day is the rule of this industry.
As long as Gu Xiyuan can leave Nanyun City alive within a day and no longer set foot in this city for five years, then these bosses will not do anything to him.
But if he doesn't leave within this time limit, then these people will really kill him!
Ah Jiu looked serious, "Don't underestimate the news channels of those people, now that he has been blacklisted by those guys, if he doesn't leave before tonight, he will never want to leave." β
"But he's so badly injured now that he can't move at will." Su Xiruo frowned and said, "There is no other way?" β
"Yes." Ah Jiu crossed his hands in front of his chest, and the old god said, "As long as someone helps him win ten games, and let those bosses who lost money win the money back, then his life will be saved." β
Su Xiruo: "......"
"Hey, you're not going to watch him get killed, are you?" Ah Jiu was a little curious about what she would choose, "You are also the apprentice I taught, with your skills, you are also crushing those wastes when you go to the ring, do you want to choose to help him?" β
"Let's wait until those people come to me."
Su Xiruo was silent for a moment, and then left this matter behind.
She just wanted Gu Xiyuan to wake up quickly now and tell her why he was in such an embarrassed position now.
"I'll stay here tonight, Ah Jiu, you go back first."
Su Xiruo looked at the sky outside and said to Ah Jiu.
Ah Jiu shook his head, "I don't want it, I want to be here." β
She had a determined smile on her face, "Su Xiruo, I found that you really like duplicity, you must be planning to help your cousin, right?" β
The corners of Su Xiruo's mouth twitched, "Can you be as naΓ―ve as your appearance?" It's not good to be too smart. β
"Your mind is too easy to guess." Ah Jiu smiled and said, "Look at your eyes, it's obvious that you want to help him!" I don't want to go back, I'm going to stay and watch the show...... No, it's for you! β
Su Xiruo: "......"
Row horn.
If she wants to stay, she can keep it.
Su Xiruo called Qin Li and casually found a reason to fool his mother.
Gu Xiyuan's injury is too serious, and he should have a high fever tonight, and he can't do without people at this time.
With such an injury, going to the hospital will inevitably alarm the police, and it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble at that time.
In the evening, the two ordered takeout directly in the hotel.
By the way, Su Xiruo also sent a text message to Xu Xinxin, asking her to help buy a lot of medicinal materials and plasters for trauma.
Waited until late at night.
Gu Xiyuan really started a high fever.
The pale face was flushed with an abnormal flush, and the temperature directly reached forty.
If it weren't for Su Xiruo's preparations, he would have been able to directly burn Gu Xiyuan into a big fool with this high fever.
All night, Su Xiruo was taking care of her cousin.
Ah Jiu slept directly on the sofa, not knowing what kind of dream he had, and laughing stupidly.
*
Gu Xiyuan was awakened by urine.
His body was sore, his limbs were fixed by something and he couldn't move, his wounds were covered with cold ointment, and he smelled the strong smell of herbs, and his eyes were blank.
Who saved him?
It can't be those bosses in the boxing ring, these guys just want to scrape money from him, how could they be kind enough to use such expensive herbs for him?
But......
"Awake?"
An unfamiliar female voice sounded in his ears, Gu Xiyuan stiffened, slowly turned his head, and saw Su Xiruo's delicate and beautiful face.
He moved his mouth, but found that his voice was hoarse and unable to speak.
Su Xiruo said, "I knew that you would definitely not be able to bear me." β
Gu Xiyuan had a question mark on his face.
"I'm your cousin, Su Xiruo, do you remember?"
Gu Xiyuan's eyes widened in surprise, "You, you ......"
"Okay, don't be in a hurry to talk, let's drink the medicine first."
Su Xiruo stopped his urge to force his mouth to speak, and carefully fed a bowl of bitter and astringent medicinal juice to his lips.
My grandfather and uncle are all bigwigs in the field of Chinese medicine, as their descendants, how can Gu Xiyuan not know medicine?
These herbs are good herbs for the treatment of internal injuries, and they are very bitter to drink, but the effect is very fast.
Gu Xiyuan drank all the medicine, and he felt that the injured place seemed to relieve a lot of pain.
He pursed his lips, his voice hoarse, "Ruoruo? You...... How will you find me? β
"Do you believe it's a coincidence?" Su Xiruo stared at him with dead eyes, "It's you, haven't you been staying in the imperial capital?" Why would you go to that kind of place to fight black boxing? Still the way it is? β
Even if her uncle and her ex-aunt divorced, the property that her former aunt got was enough for her to squander it unscrupulously for a lifetime.
The famous and noble son in his memory has become such an embarrassed homeless man now, who dares to believe it?
Gu Xiyuan lowered his eyes, shook his head with a wry smile, "It's hard to say." β
"Since you're back in Nanyun City, why don't you come to us?" Su Xiruo looked at him, "Also, how long have you been back?" I remember when my uncle didn't give my aunt a lot of money? My aunt's family background in the imperial capital is not bad, right? You've become what you are now, what about your aunt? β
Gu Xiyuan sighed, "This matter is a long story, five years ago, I found Nanyun City, and I saw the news that you were sentenced for hitting someone, and you wanted to go to your aunt, but your father said that your aunt was not in good health and had been recuperating in the hospital, so I didn't dare to go." β
Su Xiruo: "...... And then what? So why did you fall into the way you are? β
Ah Jiu also woke up at this time, rubbed his eyes, and said with contempt, "You are a big man, you have hands and feet and you still make yourself so miserable, it's really useless!" β
Gu Xiyuan smiled bitterly, "I don't want to either, but I offended people in the imperial capital, so I could only be forced to return to Nanyun City." But even in Nanyun City, that person can't tolerate me, I went to find a lot of jobs, but no place is willing to hire me, the money my mother gave me has been spent all these years, there is no way, I can only rely on this way to support myself. β
"Didn't your aunt send you any more money?" Su Xiruo asked puzzledly, "Who have you offended?" β
"Alas, don't say it, my mother is a fool, after they divorced, the money that my father gave her was all coaxed by the Li family, but my mother didn't let me tell my father, so I didn't tell you before."
"As for the person I offended......" Gu Xiyuan's face was complicated, "You know the Lu family, right?" β
Su Xiruo was stunned, "The Lu family? β
Gu Xiyuan nodded with difficulty, "Yes, the Lu family, there are also people from the Lu family in Nanyun City, you know the heirloom group, right?" is that Lu Ye, who is also a member of the Lu family. β
"No wonder you're so miserable." Ah Jiu looked surprised, and said, "That's not that you're too wasteful, there's no way, even if you don't come to Nanyun City and go somewhere else, it is estimated that the end will not be much better than now." β
Even people like Ah Jiu, who don't pay much attention to current affairs, know how powerful the Lu family is.
She said with a scared face, "Ah Yun also told me that you must not have a bad relationship with the Lu family, I heard that this family has cooperation with the country's high-level officials." β
The corners of Su Xiruo's mouth twitched, and he was speechless at Ah Jiu.
The belly is full of troughs, I don't know how to vomit and leave, obviously this girl still wanted to assassinate Lu Tingchuan for 500,000 before.
"If I don't leave the imperial capital, they will implicate my mother." Gu Xiyuan pulled the corners of his lips mockingly, "The Li family is just bright on the surface, but in fact, it has long been rotten and only the body is left, they can't afford to offend the Lu family, and they don't allow my mother to help me privately." β
After offending the Lu family, Gu Xiyuan also saw through the faces of those people.
In the past few years, he has also had to get by, and yesterday he played the eighth game on stage, and he really thought he was going to die.
"Ruoruo, don't worry about me, otherwise those people will know and it will cause you trouble." Gu Xiyuan never regretted offending that woman, but he didn't want to hurt his relatives and friends because of himself.
He also knew that he lost in the ring yesterday, and those people would never let him go.
"You're my brother, how can I leave you alone?" Su Xiruo glared at him, "Okay, don't think about it so much, I have a bit of a friendship with the Lu family, no matter who you offend, I'll mention it to Old Man Lu." β
"Old man Lu?" Gu Xiyuan looked confused, "Do you know the old man of the Lu family?" β
"Of course I do." Su Xiruo smiled, "He can be regarded as my patient, I believe that this little face will still be given to me." β
Gu Xiyuan's face was incredulous.
He also knew about Old Man Lu's situation, when he was in the imperial capital, he invited many foreign medical tycoons to treat the old man, but no one could see what kind of disease Old Man Lu had.
However, his father said that Old Man Lu may have been poisoned, but even so, when his father did not disappear more than ten years ago, he had nothing to do with the old man's body.
"You can recuperate with peace of mind first, and when the injury is better, I will take you home, and my mother will definitely be happy to see you."
Su Xiruo didn't explain too much.
The master was by her grandfather and uncle when she was missing, so it's normal for my cousin not to know.
The two were chatting when there was a rough knock on the door of the hotel.
Ah Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly, and raised his chin at Su Xiruo, "Look, I just said it, those guys must have come to the door, they won't tolerate your cousin walking out of Nanyun City alive!" β
