During the Daoguang period at the end of the Qing Dynasty, foreign powers smuggled opium in large quantities to China, plundered silver, and ruined the foundation of the nation. The corruption of the imperial court and the collusion between officials and businessmen accelerated the pace of disintegration of the already overburdened Qing government.

Ling Jiqiu is a well-known tea merchant in Guangzhou, and his tea has been exported to all parts of Europe since his ancestors, and his family history is also growing larger, and by Ling Jiqiu's generation, his status is enough to influence the national tea industry.

It was late at night, but Master Ling couldn't sleep peacefully, he was alone in the study, frowning, looking at the flickering candle flame and secretly sad. It must be a big thing that can make this old businessman who has passed the age of confusion worry.

In the afternoon, Lord Chen of the Prime Minister's Yamen came to visit Ling Jiqiu with a red beard, but in fact he wanted to collude with Master Ling about smuggling opium.

"Mr. Ling, all the officials on the side of the Prime Minister's Yamen should have promised Mr. Rubin, as long as you are willing to cooperate, that silver, hum......" Lord Chen couldn't help but laugh as soon as he said this.

Seeing this face, Ling Jiqiu wanted to blast him out, but the old man who had been in the shopping mall for a long time also heard from his words that the people of the Prime Minister's Yamen were probably already in favor of this matter, and if he openly opposed it, he would definitely be curbed by it.

Master Ling laughed loudly: "Why did I, Ling, mention it to all the adults, I am only afraid of such a big thing, but I can't afford it, if I am caught by the imperial court, I am afraid that I will affect several adults." ”

Lord Chen got up and said, "You can rest assured that as long as you agree, we can arrange everything, and who in the court will know that we have hidden ...... in your tea."

Ling Jiqiu was even more shocked when he heard this, in this way, several important people in the capital may not be able to get out of it, since they have chosen their own tea shop, they will definitely not let it go easily.

"Since the adults are so gracious, then Ling Mou is not easy to refuse, but at this time, the impact of the trumpet is very wide, and I want to ask the adults to give me five days to make arrangements." Ling Jiqiu said.

When Lord Chen heard this, he happily talked to that Rubin for a few words, and then Rubin bowed deeply to Ling Jiqiu and said a few words of thanks.

"Time is no problem, we all have to wait for Mr. Rubin to return to China before we can arrange it, Mr. Ling is really wise."

Thinking of Lord Chen's smiling face at that time, Ling Jiqiu felt a chill in his heart. He will not do anything that will harm the country, but if he does not do it, his ancestral business and family will be difficult to protect. It was already the fourth watch, and Ling Jiqiu finally made a decision.

He went alone to the secret room of the bedroom and took out a box from the corner of the room. After thinking about it, he still took the box and walked out of the house, straight to the south. Along the way, the box made a terrible scream, and Ling Jiqiu dragged his old body to speed up his steps, for fear that passers-by would discover the secret in the box.

Chapter 7 Two Souls

The chirping of ambulances resounded through the city in the early morning. Passers-by, who were run over by the wheels, couldn't help but scold: "The people in the car should die early." After the passer-by finished speaking, he was careless, turned around and stepped on a pile of feces, he was so angry that he scraped the sidewalk with his feet, at this time, suddenly someone behind him pushed hard, pushing him into the road, the curse words were still in his mouth, and he was hit by a moving bus and died. Onlookers came one after another, and everyone talked about it, not noticing that a man behind him chuckled and then disappeared.

In the ambulance, Deng Yuhao, Sima, and Ling Xuezhi didn't say a word. The doctor was already examining Li Tao, and blood was still gushing out of Li Tao's mouth, but the two doctors couldn't find the reason at all. Sima Yi grabbed Li Tao's hand and quietly transmitted his spiritual power to him. Deng Yuhao and Ling Xuezhi also saw that Sima was getting more and more struggling.

The two doctors were helpless, and the blood in Li Tao's mouth gradually decreased, but this did not mean that he had passed the danger, but it was a sign that the amount of blood in his body was not much.

Deng Yuhao pushed the pulley on the blood transfusion belt up, and then shouted loudly: "Doctor, hurry up and get blood again!" ”

The two doctors were frightened by Deng Yuhao, and stupidly took out several generations of type O blood from the box.

Deng Yuhao did not hesitate any longer, and actually inserted a blood vessel into Li Tao's body.

"You ...... The sick person will be dangerous. A doctor shouted.

"Can you revive him, then?" Ling Xuezhi shouted.

The journey to the hospital was particularly long, and Ling Xuezhi almost bowed his head in despair and cried: "You fucking bastard, you don't like a lot of blood, swallow the blood back for me." ”

Sima finally used up the last trace of spiritual power in his body and collapsed on Deng Yuhao's lap.

"Sima!" Deng Yuhao and Ling Xuezhi shouted again, "Doctor, come and take a look." ”

The doctor hurriedly came over to examine Sima, and then said, "He seems to be physically exhausted, but ...... Hi glucose. The doctor hurriedly took out glucose from another box and hung it for Sima.

Deng Yuhao looked at the bleeding in Li Tao's mouth, and suddenly grabbed the doctor's collar and said, "Save him." ”

The doctor didn't dare to look at Deng Yuhao's hideous face, and whispered: "Only when you go to the hospital may there be a way." ”

"If he dies before he gets to the hospital, I'll kill you."

Ling Xuezhi looked at Deng Yuhao, and his right hand involuntarily moved to his chest.

The doctor was so frightened that he sat on the ground, he knew that this man was not excited, and then he suddenly got up, opened the windows of the carriage and the cab and shouted: "Hurry up for Lao Tzu!" ”

Deng Yuhao almost poured four bags of blood into Li Tao's body, I don't know if it was his behavior or Sima's spiritual power, Li Tao finally got to the hospital.

Several nurses who arrived saw the doctor's face and immediately pushed the patient off the car, and one nurse was so frightened by the scene in front of her that she fainted. Every corner of the ambulance was splashed with blood, and the patient was more like he had crawled out of a blood hole, red all over his body, and blood was still gushing out of his mouth, how could a person have so much blood, or that a person could still rush to the hospital alive after losing such a large amount of blood.

The doctor who was frightened by Deng Yuhao shouted as soon as he got out of the car: "Call all the attending doctors of the hospital to come over!" ”

"Dr. Liu and Dr. Wang are doing surgery." The nurse ran and said.

The doctor saw that Deng Yuhao was staring at him, then turned his head and said, "Drag them out for me." ”

The nurse was shocked, Dr. Liu and Dr. Wang seemed to have higher positions than him, why did he do this?

The hospital used almost the fastest speed to send Li Tao into the operating room. Deng Yuhao and Ling Xuezhi waited anxiously outside, and Sima was sent to another custody room.

In the operating room, the surgeon did not know what to do, and no wounds were found from the patient's surface, and the X-ray machine could not detect any problems with the internal organs. The reason why I went to the operating room was because the two people outside were too fierce and didn't make any sense to me at all. The doctor just watched Li Tao keep bleeding from his mouth, except for a large amount of blood transfusion, there was nothing he could do.

Ling Xuezhi leaned against the wall and said to Deng Yuhao, who was sitting down, "Li Tao will be fine." ”

Deng Yuhao didn't answer, he was hating himself for not being faster at that time, he was so close to Sima Mingming......

Ling Xuezhi suddenly untied his coat, Deng Yuhao looked at him and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Don't ask, there's something that can save him." Ling Xuezhi kicked open the door of the operating room with an expressionless face, and the doctors and nurses inside were frightened.

"Get out of here." Ling Xuezhi said. Deng Yuhao, who was following him, knew that Ling Xuezhi must be going to do something impulsive.

Ling Xuezhi walked next to Li Tao and took out a green pendant from his sweater, like a piece of jasper, he looked at the pendant and said, "You saved me before, now save my friend, in the future, you will be his." ”

After speaking, Ling Xuezhi hung the pendant around Li Tao's neck.

Deng Yuhao thought that Ling Xuezhi had lost his mind, but at this time he saw that Li Tao had stopped bleeding, and his chest was calmly undulating. Deng Yuhao, who was shocked, immediately ran up and grabbed Li Tao's hand, and felt a trace of temperature.

"Great, Ling ......"

When Deng Yuhao turned his head, Ling Xuezhi disappeared.

"Xuezhi, Xuezhi." Deng Yuhao shouted. Thinking in his heart, he would not know that Li Tao would get better, so he went to Sima's ward. But what kind of pendant is this, what just happened is simply a resurrection.

Subsequently, Deng Yuhao hurriedly called back the doctor.

When the attending doctor came in and saw this scene, he was speechless in surprise, and only to find that the blood in Li Tao's body was gradually recovering.

"This man's ability to heal himself is nothing short of miraculous."

After listening to the doctor's words, Deng Yuhao was sure that Li Tao was fine, and told the doctor not to take off the pendant, so he hurried to Sima's ward.

Sima on the hospital bed still hadn't woken up, but the nurse told Deng Yuhao that there was nothing wrong with him and that he would be fine after a rest.

It was only at this time that Deng Yuhao really put his mind at ease and sat softly on the chair next to him.

"Where's Xuezhi?" Deng Yuhao remembered that Ling Xuezhi had never appeared since just now.

"Nurse, have you seen the tall, skinny boy with me?" Deng Yuhao asked the nurse.

"I'm sorry, I don't know." The nurse left the room.

Thinking about it, it was really wrong just now, after Ling Xuezhi put a pendant on Li Tao, he didn't even have the sound of footsteps, and he disappeared...... An ominous feeling came over him, and Deng Yuhao immediately got up and ran outside and shouted Ling Xuezhi's name loudly.

"Ah Zhi."

"Brother, is that you?"

"You're so stupid, Ah Zhi, why would you exchange your life for that person's life?"

"I don't know, brother, I just did it involuntarily."

"Then I'll go get it back for you."

"Don't, brother."

"You're still the same as before, I said a long time ago, and you'll die."

"I should have died a long time ago, and it's a blessing to live until now."

"I'm not going to let you die."

"Brother, aren't you the same as before?"

When Li Tao opened his eyes, what he saw was still hazy, and the laughter of Deng Yuhao and Sima reached his ears.

"Li Tao, you are really ......" Sima excitedly didn't know what to say.

The first thing Li Tao, whose eyes were finally able to see things, was: "What about Ling Xuezhi?" That kid isn't going home, is he? ”

Deng Yuhao and Sima suddenly quieted down at this time.

"Li Tao, it was Xuezhi who saved you, but he seems to be ......"

"Seems like what?" Li Tao sat up on the edge of the bed.

Deng Yuhao looked at him and said, "Xuezhi seems to have disappeared." ”
