Chapter Twenty-Five: Flying Stars Spread Hatred

"This position can no longer be sat by others, because ...... It's mine, you know? Madame Red suddenly got up and instructed me, I nodded desperately, Madame Red smiled indifferently, and walked downstairs with good steps.

I saw that her master and servant were about to leave, so I hurriedly called the little maid in green: "Dai...... Miss Dai! "Eh-" she responded sweetly, "what's the matter?" ”

"That ——, please give me the antidote!"

Dai Zhen thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Your eyes are still sharp...... But wouldn't it be better for you if he died? Besides, that poison is Tanyuntang's unique 'Don't Hongchen', and the government won't find you." ”

I said, "I just hope that everything will be safe and the world will be peaceful." ”

Dai Zhen shook her head and sighed: "I didn't expect you to still have this character." She took a small paper bag from her waist and threw it on the ground, and then carried the Red Lady away.

I walked downstairs, put the small paper bag into my arms, and then reached out to probe under Feng Gongzi's nostrils, and found that he still had some faint breath, and hurriedly picked him up and sent him into the Taishou Mansion in the city. Of course, I also got five taels of silver as a thank you fee, and I knew that because I was just a lowly and vulgar shopkeeper, even if it was a life-saving gift, the reward I could get was only five taels of silver, which was enough to send me away in the eyes of those rich people.

I took these five taels of silver and bought a pair of cotton shoes, five pieces of glutinous rice cakes, and four white sugar cakes, and at last I had one or two dollars left, which I carefully wrapped in cloth and carried into my bosom.

When I got back to the shop, it was already evening, and the owner and the cook had gone to bed, so I cleaned all the halls as usual, and checked the windows and doors everywhere, and everything was normal except for the hole opened by Madame Red this morning. I washed up casually and went into my shabby little attic, and took out two books from under the mattress, one "Shenzhou Ancient Chronicles" and the other "Persona", and read the book while nibbling on crispy sugar cakes in the dim light, which was really the most pleasant thing I had ever imagined.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of "ping-pong" coming from the room downstairs, and then there was a loud "bang-" sound, and I thought that something had happened to the boss, because under my little attic was the boss's bedroom, and he happened to be a big fat man who was struggling to walk, and only when his physique fell would he make such a long and heavy sound, which almost shook the pavilion a few times.

I secretly held the medicine bag in my hand, and then rushed into the boss's bedroom.

Sure enough, the boss was lying on the floor, a large puddle of white foam had been vomited from the corner of his mouth, and his limbs were curled up together, looking like a ball of meat at first glance. When he saw me coming, he struggled to reach out to me, but he couldn't say a word, only to make a strange sound, I hurriedly helped him up, and poured all the small packets of medicine into his mouth, at first he thought that I was going to murder him further, and struggled to eat, so I forcibly poured a 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?" ”
