Chapter 11: Poison of the Heart

Zhong Yu wandered among the major pharmacies in the rain, and he was completely soaked without an umbrella. His pace did not dare to stop for a moment, but at last he was still tired and desperate, and gradually slowed down, but he still refused to stop...... When he looked up, the rain was held up by the umbrella behind him, Zhong Yu stopped and called softly, "Ah Feng." ”

Zhong Yu turned around, looked at Ah Feng's already wet hair, and pushed the umbrella to Ah Feng's side, "Don't you listen to me?" "It's been a long time since you've been out...... Ah Feng handed the umbrella to Zhong Yu's hand, but Zhong Yu didn't reach out to hold it, "Ah Feng, I won't give up, I'll search the entire mall, and I'll definitely find a doctor with excellent medical skills." There must be something else we don't know...... You go back first, hold your umbrella, don't catch a cold. You can rest assured that you are by her side to take care of me, listen to me, and go back. Ah Feng no longer persuaded each other, and didn't say anything else and left with an umbrella, she knew that Zhong Yu had made up her mind, and there was no possibility of changing it.

Zhong Yu walked all the way down the long street and came to a silk village on the corner. There are too many ladies and ladies gathered here, trying on clothes, cutting materials, and the guys are very busy, even if it is raining heavily outside, it does not affect the market here. Zhong Yu looked up at the plaque of the Silk Village, "Yun Wu Silk Village", lowered his head, shook the water on his body, and walked in.

When the account office saw Zhong Yu, he greeted him with a smile, "Boss! It's the first time you've come back to see our store. It's raining so hard outside that you're all drenched, come on in and I'll pour you tea. "How was business going in the early days?" Zhong Yu's tone was naturally unfamiliar. "You have also seen that although it has not been open for a long time, the only silk shop that has the strength to compete with the Zhong family is us." Mr. Bookkeeper's tone was proud, but there were no surprises and differences in Zhong Yu's eyes, as if all this should be normal, "Although the boss has been hiding it, the old lady seems to know that there is a newly opened silk village that threatens the Zhong family." By the way, how does the Siamese silk in the store sell? ”

"Not to mention how good the sales are, our profits have multiplied several times. Boss, your trick is really amazing, first buy out in advance and then release the news, and then find a few fresh faces in the outer city to pretend to be Siamese merchants, although Young Master Zhong is a good businessman, but he can't tell the grade of silk, the price of this Siamese silk is so raised by the boss that even the three thousand oceans of the Zhong family are ours, we really won this battle beautifully! Zhong Yu's question made Mr. Bookkeeper suddenly energetic and excited. However, even the joy in his eyes could not hide his incomprehension, "It's just...... I don't understand why the boss can't get along with his family's business......"

Zhong Yu didn't answer the question of the account room, his eyes calmly swept around, and asked, "Where is the shopkeeper?" "Oh, in the back hall, I'll call you." Mr. Bookkeeper is also a very good person, seeing that Zhong Yu deliberately did not answer, he did not do in-depth research, and instead responded to Zhong Yu's orders. "No need, you're busy, I'll just go in by myself." Zhong Yu shook off the water droplets on his cuffs, straightened his clothes, turned around and walked towards the back hall, his steps were well-proportioned and familiar, and he was no longer the desperate and helpless person in the heavy rain.

Zhong Yu walked into the back hall, Lao Li was sitting on a mahogany chair looking at him, the chair on the other side was empty, but there was a cup of freshly brewed tea on the corner of the table, and the teacup was still steaming. Zhong Yu walked to the table and sat down, picked up the tea, sniffed it in front of his nose and put it back on the table. Seeing this, Lao Li couldn't help but be a little curious, "Why doesn't the second young master drink it." Zhong Yu slowly pushed his tea to Lao Li, "My cup is a gyokuro brought back from Japan." I gave it to you on purpose, you are always reluctant to drink it, now you drink it. Lao Li smiled and picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and slowly closed his eyes, "Good tea, mellow taste." Antivirus, hemostasis...... It's good tea. As he spoke, Lao Li suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Zhong Yu, "Child, has the poison in your heart been killed?" Has the bleeding in my heart stopped? It's all gone, I know you're happy, but now, are you better? "It's not over yet." Zhong Yu replied neatly, a faint cold light flashed in his eyes, "Everything is just the beginning." The poison in my heart has not been killed, and the blood in my heart ...... And it didn't stop there. ”

Lao Li's originally calm expression was immediately a little surprised, "Could it be ...... None of this can be done yet

Kill the poison of your heart, and stop the blood of your heart? "I can't." Zhong Yu's cold answer, the cold timbre, was chilling. Lao Li watched Zhong Yu grow up, he had never seen Zhong Yu so indifferent and resolute, "But, I haven't already helped you ......" "Uncle Li, I haven't seen what I want to see." Zhong Yu interrupted Lao Li's words, and his cold eyes were dim and he couldn't see a trace of light.

Lao Li looked at Zhong Yu in disbelief, didn't say a word, just watched quietly. It wasn't until he saw a faint sly smile on Zhong Yu's face that he sighed, got up and took out the key in the drawer, opened the cabinet in the corner, took out an envelope and handed it to Zhong Yu with the key, "When the second young master was a child, Lao Li followed you." Lao Li likes to see the second young master smile the most, every time you laugh, you are like a child who doesn't grow up, which makes me feel clean and warm. But Second Young Master, you don't know, the smile on your face just now is something I have never seen in so many years by your side, it seems that Lao Li is getting farther and farther away from the Second Young Master. I'm really old...... This is the title deed of Yun Wu silk, as well as this set of keys, and now the property is returned to the original owner. It's time for me to go back to my hometown. ”

Zhong Yu grabbed Uncle Li's arm, and his eyes returned to their former softness, "Uncle Li, you don't know where your hometown is at all, why do you want to do this, even if you don't want to do it, I can take care of you." Lao Li looked at Zhong Yu, pure concentration was like looking at a child who needed someone to protect him, but in the end, Lao Li still put away the pure smile in his eyes and shook his head, moving Zhong Yu's hand away, "The second young master is wrong, except here, anywhere can be my hometown." I was originally a homeless called Huazi, I thought that I could glorify my ancestors by studying hard and being admitted to Xiucai, but who knew that the Qing Dynasty was gone, and I didn't know anything except reading and writing, and I deserved to be called Huazi...... I still remember when I was dying of starvation on the street, I was seen by a young master, who begged his father to give me a bite to eat, and kindly asked his father to take me in as a buddy...... Child, I have done things in my conscience to be sorry for my wife, all of which are to repay you for your kindness to me back then...... However, you are no longer the little master you used to be, but I still seem to be the unassuming Hanako I used to be, and if you stay any longer, I'm afraid it will ruin your business. After that, Lao Li bowed deeply to Zhong Yu, "Thank you Second Young Master for saving your life back then." ”

Zhong Yu stretched out his hands again to shake Lao Li's arm, but when he saw that his cuffs were still dripping and the watermark he had just left on Lao Li's sleeve, he put them down again. As soon as Zhong Yu's hands were lowered, Lao Li reached out and hugged his wet body. Zhong Yu was hugged by Lao Li, and his arms hanging on both sides slowly wrapped around Lao Li, "Thank you for being with me like a father."

...... beside him," Lao Li patted Zhong Yu's shoulder gently, "Child, I really can't serve you anymore in the future." You are now not afraid of the complexity of people's hearts, but if you force yourself to take the road you shouldn't take, you have to endure hardships, and you have to do it yourself...... Lao Li hopes that you can be happy. ”

Zhong Yu walked out of the silk village, his face had no expression, and no one could guess his thoughts. In the rain, a beggar was leaning against the door of the silk village and waving to passers-by. Zhong Yu took out a few silver dollars from his arms and was about to hand them to the beggar, a hand holding the silver dollars had already thrown the silver dollars into the bowl, Zhong Yu turned sideways and saw Lao Li standing behind him with an umbrella. Lao Li stepped forward and handed him the umbrella in his hand, "Child, since you pity this person, take pity on those people and leave them a way...... It's raining too much, so take this umbrella. Zhong Yu took the umbrella handed over by Lao Li, stuffed the silver dollar he took out into Lao Li's hand, and his eyes were full of determination, "What is there to pity me about a person named Hanako, I bought this umbrella." Zhong Yu turned around and took a few steps forward and threw the umbrella aside, and the beggar hurriedly ran over with a bowl in his hand, picked up the umbrella, and ran into the teahouse next to him. Lao Li put his hands behind his back and watched Zhong Yu go farther and farther, his concerned gaze gradually extinguished, and he no longer had hope, and turned back.

Zhong Yu returned home wet, his arms tightly clutching the medicine bag on his chest. Zhong Baishi was still lying unconscious on the bed, and a room full of people were waiting anxiously around Zhong's mother's bedside. Zhong Yu looked at the people in the room and lowered his head in frustration, "I'm back." I was so useless that I couldn't find a good doctor, so I grabbed the side medicine for my mother according to the previous prescription. Steward Qiu hurriedly stepped forward to wipe Zhong Yu's dripping face, "Second Young Master, you're soaking wet!" Zhong Lei, who had been guarding Zhong Bai's side, saw Zhong Yu's appearance, took a few steps forward and said, "You're tired, go back and rest." Don't do any more useless work, we won't be able to keep her old man this time. And you, what should you do, what should you do......" "Big brother, have you even given up?" Zhong Yu stood in place, watching Zhong Lei reluctant to leave. Zhong Lei turned sideways disapprovingly, and smiled helplessly and helplessly, "Otherwise? Like you, running around the streets in the heavy rain, Mom will be fine? Go back and change your clothes, I don't want you to get sick too. ”

Zhong Lei had already left, but Zhong Yu still stood where he was and refused to leave. He stared deeply at the comatose Zhong Bai, and he suddenly turned to look at Ah Feng, "Ah Feng, prepare the soup can, I'll go boil the medicine now." Although this recipe is the same as before, I believe that as long as I drink the medicine I boiled with my own hands, my mother's illness will definitely be cured, and it will definitely ......" Zhong Yu hugged the medicine bag tightly and left Zhong Bai's room with Zhong Lei behind.

Ah Feng was the only one left in the room, and she quickened her pace, knowing that she had to prepare what Zhong Yu needed as quickly as possible. However, just as Ah Feng was about to step out of the door, Zhong Bai's weak voice suddenly came from behind him, "Ah Feng......"

Ah Feng turned around and saw that Zhong Bai's woke up, she rushed forward excitedly and held Zhong Bai's hand, "Mrs., you're awake!" That's great! I'm going to tell ...... "Don't go...... I have something to tell you. Only, just for you. Zhong Baishi interrupted Ah Feng's words, and with what little strength he had, he pulled her to sit down beside him.
