Chapter Twenty-Seven: People Are Not as Good as They Are

At first, I thought I was going to murder him further, but I struggled to eat it, so I forcibly poured another glass of water to bring the medicine down. While I am doing such a thing, I feel sad for the lack of faith in the world, thinking that although I have been driven and treated badly by the boss in the past three years, I will never forget his life-saving grace on the bank of the glacier.

After the boss took the antidote, he recovered after a while, and after confirming that I really saved him, he became a little embarrassed and a little overwhelmed, I knew that he actually wanted to say "thank you" to me, but the identity of "my boss" has been ingrained in his heart, and it has long become his habit to call and drink to me, although I have become his father-in-law, but his tongue can not adapt to it for a while.

"We don't owe each other anything." I smiled very relaxedly, and turned to pick up the fallen washstand.

"By the way, how can you have an antidote?" The boss tried to change the subject as much as possible.

"Then do you know why you were poisoned?" I asked.

"Is it the ingot of gold?"

"Exactly, who told you to be so greedy!" I've become more outspoken because of the change in my identity.

The boss's face changed, and he was about to have a seizure, but remembering that I had saved him, he swallowed back the insult that came to his mouth, and asked me why I had an antidote but didn't take it out sooner. I laughed and said, "If I took out a packet of powder for you for no reason, how would you react?" The boss thought for a moment and said, "I'll slap you on the head first, and then scold you for being insane." ”

I said, "Isn't that the end of it!" ”

When I returned to the small attic, it was already the second watch, and I wrapped the jacket that Madame Red had given me, and then covered it with my torn quilt, and felt very warm. After tossing and turning for a long time, I still can't sleep, indeed, there are too many extraordinary things happening today. Mrs. Red, the man in black, "Don't be Hongchen", Jin Wuyue...... All of this made me have a mysterious reverie about the word Jianghu, even if I didn't want to have any connection with it in my life, but it was enough to stir the blood of every boy's body. "When will I meet that girl again, I will have to ask her about my background! …… I always felt like she was very familiar with me...... "I finally fell asleep with this thought."

The next morning, I hurried into the city to buy a window lattice of acacia wood, and when I returned to the store, I looked for tools to nail the window for Mrs. Hong's special seat, and when I was busy, the boss appeared behind me unconsciously: "It's rare that you don't need me to call it for the first time!" I said, "I'm so diligent just to please Madame Hong, and she's happy and good for all of us." "That's right, I'll leave the money for the window lattice here, and I left you a bowl of porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork in the kitchen, and you went to drink it when you finished your work." The boss's tone today was also very gentle, and I felt flattered for a while, knowing that I usually can't eat breakfast, and usually the boss sends me to buy things for the store The money always has to be reminded by me again and again, because the boss always becomes very forgetful at this time.

The latticework was finally installed, and it was big and beautiful, and I waited patiently for the Red Lady for a day, but she never showed up. On the contrary, I have heard a lot of rumors about her today, from the mouths of those people in the rivers and lakes.

Listen to them, Mrs. Hong's original name was Hong Xueyi, but she is the wife of the third branch of the blood rain downstairs of today's martial arts faction - the head of Tanyun Hall, Qiu Wanmeng, because she likes red by nature, and her name is red, so she got the title of this red lady, and in terms of her beautiful appearance, poisonous as a snake and scorpion, some people secretly call it "red scorpion", and I heard that this red lady is the real head of the Taishang, if the people of Tanyun Hall are in awe of the hall master, then the awe of Madame Red has seven points.

What else do they say because the owner of the Blood Rain Building, Ni Xinyan, was suddenly assassinated, and the murderer is still being investigated, and now in order to maintain the strength of the big faction, it is necessary to elect a new owner among the following hall owners to return to the hearts of the people, and then the relationship between the characters is becoming more and more complicated, I don't know what they are talking about at all, only when they mention that the competition venue is set in Meiling Qiongtai I have something to understand: Qiongtai is a spacious stone platform less than two miles behind our shop, because the county has set up an altar here to pray for rain and succeeded, Therefore, it seems particularly sacred, and in this way, there are more people in Meiling Xiaozhu, and it is not without reason.

It seems that Meiling will not be calm in the next few days!

On the third day, I was still waiting for Madame Red to come, and although I was afraid of her, I really wanted her to come, and I don't know what kind of emotion it was, but I really wanted to show her my nailed lattice, and I just wanted to see her smile, because there was too much bitterness hidden in her indifferent eyes. Really, I can see it.

I was a little disappointed, but I still greeted her warmly and asked, "When will Madame Red come, I nailed her a very beautiful window." Dai Zhen smiled coldly, glanced out the door quickly, and then said, "What, does the toad still want to eat swan meat?" My smile froze: "I...... It doesn't mean that. Looking at her carefully, I found that she was wearing a snow-white short jacket and a pale pink pleated skirt today, and her hair was also combed into a flowing bun according to the style of a young lady, without many accessories, just a beaded hairpin inserted at random, elegant and chic. And when I look at this hairpin, I feel very familiar, as if Mrs. Sun Hong also said goodbye to such a hairpin.

"I think you're weak-hearted!" Dai Zhen said lightly, her expression was calm and solemn, and there was no trace of fat powder painting on her face, but according to my previous impression of Dai Zhen, I thought that when she said this to me, her expression should be ridiculous and funny.

"How come it has only been two days, and you have completely changed a person?" I couldn't help but ask in my mind.

At this time, another person came to the store. He stunned me again as he had done the first time, only the first time I was amazed at his appearance, and the second time I was surprised at who he was. As soon as she saw him, she took his arm gently and kindly, as if she didn't know me, and he didn't refuse. The two of them went to the corner of the stairs and sat down, the place I had prepared for the Red Lady.

That's right, he is the hall master of Tanyun Hall, Qiu Yanmeng, a handsome and extraordinary man who values both power and wealth, but finally betrays his love.

I secretly thought in my heart that Madame Red was not worthy, even if she was so ruthless and arrogant, but she still seemed to be clinging to some kind of almost sacred feelings.

As soon as the two people upstairs sat down, the people in the store left one after another very sensitively, as if they deliberately wanted to leave the quiet to these two seemingly affectionate people, maybe they would still think in their hearts: "I can't afford to provoke, can't I still hide?" ”

I also put down the work in my hand, just locked my eyes on the corner of the stairs, the strange thing is that these two people just stared at each other expressionlessly from just now to now, without words or movements, shouldn't the man who successfully avoided his wife run out to cheat at this time secretly happy, affectionate? I was wondering when my boss shoved me hard and gouged my eyes, meaning that if I continued to look at me with this kind of surveillance, one of them would definitely come down and blind me.

At this time, Dai Zhen finally glanced at me, and a rather uneasy look crept up her cheek, but soon, she regained her unattainable demeanor: "Wangcai, you go to the city and fetch me a pound of rose dew." ”

"Do you like to drink roses too?" Qiu Wanmeng's voice was gentle and obsessive, and it was completely impossible to tell that this calm and peaceful man was the terrifying iron-blooded hall master Qiu Wanmeng.

"Really, why don't you treat Madame Red when you are so gentle, if you can treat her like this, maybe she won't be so violent." I secretly said in my heart, if I had a sword in my hand now and a martial art comparable to Qiu Wanmeng, I would definitely go up and tell him these words.

It's a pity that I'm just a stupid and useless shopkeeper.

"No, you're not her." Qiu Yumeng's expression was suddenly disappointed like a child.

"Wouldn't it be okay to think of me as the one she used to be, isn't she no longer her now." With a smile on his face, Dai Zhen gently put his hand on Qiu Wanmeng's hand, and finally, a satisfied and pleasant smile appeared on his face.

As soon as she told me about the two of them, I was immediately confused, but I knew that if I didn't go to the city to drink now, my head would probably be separated from my neck.

When I came out of the most famous liquor shop in the city, I saw a few fierce people standing at the door of the "Yang's Ironware" next door, as if discussing something, I just didn't see anything, buried my head and walked quickly, but I heard one of them say: "It's rare that the girl is alone, the Lei brothers have trapped her on the outskirts of the city, let's hurry up and help!" Another person also chimed in: "That is, apart from her, Qiu Wanmeng is equivalent to losing both arms, and it is difficult to become powerful." The group laughed and walked towards the city gate with high spirits. Not good, the Red Lady is in danger! "I hurried forward, wanting to get ahead of them to inform Madam Hong, but it's a pity that I, an ordinary person, can catch up with these Jianghu people. I thought again that it was too late to report the news anyway, so it was better to go back to the store first to inform the autumn remnant dream, and hoped that Madame Hong could delay until her husband went to save her, but then I thought about it, would this autumn remnant dream wish that Madame Red would die early, so that it would be better to fall in love with her maid openly, so that I, the person who reported the news, could not guarantee that I would not have to worry about my life. After only using their brains for a while, those few people in the rivers and lakes have disappeared. "Oops!" I pulled my legs and ran wildly, "It's okay! ”
