The Legend of Immortality Part 2 Retribution Chapter 49 On the eve of death
"Give Yang Shou back to her? How to return? Zhang Guozhong frowned, I don't know what method this Dai Jinshuang came up with, could it be that he would really believe in the legend of the Eastern Jin Dynasty Shuanghuaizi refining the pill and becoming an immortal with the courage of the bold?
"Frost Huaizi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, you know such a person, right?" Dai Jinshuang smiled slightly, and sure enough, he mentioned Frost Huaizi.
"You... Want Liang Xiaolan to become an immortal? Or rather, you're eating... That's what it did? Zhang Guozhong frowned and said, "That thing is highly poisonous, my master... Ma Chunyi, let that thing die after a bite, do you still dare to eat the pill refined with that thing? ”
"Hmph, lonely!" Dai Jinshuang snorted coldly, "Although you are cultivating immortals, you are also a living creature!" It's a living thing, just like everything else, it has physical characteristics! I don't know such a simple truth, and I still want to be in charge? ”
"I would like to listen to my brother's teaching!" Zhang Guozhong really wanted to know what this Dai Jinshuang wanted to do.
"To fight poison with poison, it is natural to use poisonous things, but it is also necessary to deal with the symptoms! If it's just poisonous, I might as well get a bottle of pesticide! Dai Jinshuang said coldly, "The poison of the stumbling is naturally to seal the throat with blood, but the most poisonous part of it is the fangs and glands, and I use snake gall bladder!" Compared with the venom glands, the poison of snake gall is much smaller! ”
"yes!" Zhang Guozhong also suddenly realized that normal people seem to be somewhat misunderstood, thinking that the poison of snakes is stored in snake gallbladder, especially after being induced by martial arts TV series similar to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", seeing Yang Guo rolling on the ground after eating snake gall, he thought that snake gall bladder was highly poisonous, but in fact, the venom of snakes is secreted by venom glands, which basically has nothing to do with snake gallbladder...
"Normal poisonous snakes, snake gall can be used in medicine. But it is not an ordinary animal, it is also highly poisonous in its gall, and ordinary people can't live if they eat it..."
"Then you still use that thing for alchemy?" As soon as Dai Jinshuang said this, Zhang Guozhong was confused again.
"I'm oil refining!" Dai Jin said, "that thing." There are useful things in the guts, but more of them are deadly things, and if you give them to us, you have to filter out those deadly things! Rubbing his temples, Dai Jinshuang began to narrate his affair with Liang Xiaolan again...
Originally, Dai Jinshuang introduced Liang Xiaolan to marry into the Liao family. It's just that I can't bear to see Liang Xiaolan being beaten in a brothel again, but she doesn't have much money, she can't afford to redeem herself, and even if she can redeem her, she doesn't know how to make a living as a weak woman. It would be troublesome to leave the brothel, so he could only make this decision to fool her to Liao Kezhou.
According to the current point of view, this Liang Xiaolan married into the Liao family is basically a widow, at that time Liao Kezhou was already close to the age of sixties, even if he still has the ability to do things after going to bed at night, it is good to be able to do it once a month, but people have the original wife and two aunts, and the aunt's wife is not too old. This is a precious opportunity once a month to get Liang Xiaolan, you have to burn incense once in half a year, and Liao Kezhou himself knows Liang Xiaolan's prostitute background. looked at it even more closely, for fear that someone would cuckold him, so he specially arranged a personal old mother and a personal maid for this Liang Xiaolan, which was called serving, but it was actually surveillance, except for selling it to Dai Jinshuang and Liu Zhenyu, the two benefactor brothers, to save a little face. Liang Xiaolan can be allowed to talk secretly with these two people alone or even go out, but whenever there are young men who have frequent contact with Liang Xiaolan. These two subordinates will report directly to the lord and marry into the Liao family. Although Liang Xiaolan lived a life of eating and opening her mouth to stretch out her hands to spend money, she was not happy.
In fact, this Liang Xiaolan and Liao Kezhou really have no feelings, the age difference between the two is two generations, and they have no common language, they have been married for three years, and they have spoken less than three sentences at most. Although she wanted to vomit when she saw Liao Kezhou, Liang Xiaolan always had a grateful psychology for Dai Jinshuang, and she also knew that Dai Jinshuang liked herself a little bit, and she once expressed the idea of eloping with Dai Jinshuang after she wanted to make a sum of money from Liao's family, but was rejected by Dai Jinshuang, firstly, because Dai Jinshuang was more or less Ma Sijia's apprentice, thinking that being a man should be above board, and the name of an adulterer could not be carried by him, and secondly, Dai Jinshuang was somewhat self-aware, although the actual age gap with Liang Xiaolan was not very large. But he has already folded his longevity into the sea, and he looks like an old man from the outside, how can he let a married woman suffer with him?
Seeing Dai Jinshuang's rejection of herself, Liang Xiaolan can only maintain this tacit relationship with him, but if Dai Jinshuang has something to ask for his help, Liang Xiaolan is never ambiguous, the more Liang Xiaolan is like this, the more Dai Jinshuang feels sorry, after all, he didn't tell others about the loss of his Yangshou, and he feels ashamed, but the more he doesn't go, the more emergencies he has to ask Liang Xiaolan for help.
Later, Liao Kezhou died, Liang Xiaolan moved directly to the United Kingdom, although Liao Kezhou's will did not give her anything, but after all, she is the aunt and wife of the Liao family, and there is no problem in continuing to live a rich life, including Dai Jinshuang later went to Japan to bribe the sergeant superintendent, and traveled around the world to find Wang Sizhao's whereabouts, and even in some countries, it is necessary to hire the forces of the local underworld to investigate, and the money spent is Liang Xiaolan's money, which is not less than tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
"Where did she get all that money?" Zhang Guozhong was also a little puzzled, listening to Dai Jinshuang's tone, this Liang Xiaolan is a bit fierce, since the relationship between Liao Kezhou and the Liao family has almost existed in name only, it is unlikely that he will reach out to Liao Qi or Liao Gang to ask for money...
"It's all her own private money..."Dai Jinshuang said, "Although Liao Kezhou's will did not give Liang Xiaolan anything, this kind of property distribution is not in accordance with British law, so when Liang Xiaolan left, the eldest young master of the Liao family, that is, the seventh uncle in your mouth, once took the initiative to give her a sum of money, and also gave her a set of mansions in the suburbs of London, but after so many years of sitting on the mountain, coupled with the rise in prices, I also tossed some of it, and there was nothing left, and then Liang Xiaolan suffered from cancer, I even managed to get the money for the hospitalization..."
"I know how you got it..."Speaking of this, Zhang Guozhong probably has a score in his heart, the cultural relics thief in the mouth of his in-law Liu Dongsheng must be the senior brother Zhenyun in front of him.
"At first, I had no other purpose. Just the money! Xiaolan has no relationship with the Liao family, and she was always angry in the Liao family before, and she would rather die than reach out to the Liao family, and she didn't even tell them the news of her illness..."Speaking of this, Dai Jinshuang's tone seemed a little bleak. "The only person she could count on at the time was me, but what could I do? Watching her die? Dai Jinshuang looked up to the sky and sighed, "Rich life, rich life, rich and noble in the end, only I, who is not a ghost or a ghost, is left with me?" ”
When Liao Kezhou died. The Liao family's industry was not as exaggerated as it is now, and the price level was also very low at that time, coupled with the economic recession caused by the war, so the money Liao Qi gave Liang Xiaolan was not astronomical, and the money spent on Dai Jinshuang was not astronomical. It was almost half of Liang Xiaolan's belongings, so much so that Liang Xiaolan became seriously ill later, and it was difficult to live in a private ward in the Royal Hospital*.
When Liang Xiaolan was seriously ill, Dai Jinshuang really had mixed feelings, hating himself for spending too much money on revenge, and even more hating himself for not being able to make money, and he couldn't even raise Liang Xiaolan's medical expenses, at this time. Suddenly, a foreign lawyer approached Dai Jinshuang and said that Liang Xiaolan already knew about her condition and had said that she would refuse surgery. And made a will, to leave his house, antiques, jewelry and all other inheritances in the UK to Dai Jinshuang, because the inheritance tax in the UK is very high, so the foreign lawyer also suggested that Dai Jinshuang sell the antiques and jewelry to pay taxes, so that he can also leave a house and a considerable amount of cash.
At this moment, Dai Jinshuang's mood can be imagined. Without saying a word, he rushed to the hospital and hugged Liang Xiaolan and cried, and Liang Xiaolan also wanted to hug Dai Jinshuang at this time. But he no longer has the strength, but he just said that he hopes that Dai Jinshuang can use this money to live for the rest of his life after his death. Don't take revenge anymore, and at this moment, what reason does Dai Jinshuang have not to agree to Liang Xiaolan?
Speaking of this, even the tip of Zhang Guozhong's nose couldn't help but feel a little sour, at first he thought that Dai Jinshuang robbed tombs from China to sell cultural relics in order to spend time drinking with his mistress, but he didn't expect that Liang Xiaolan, who was the wife of the Liao family, would have such a miserable time, hey, what a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks...
"What kind of revenge, what kind of cultivation and Taoism, I don't even think about it anymore..."Dai Jinshuang's tone was gloomy and helpless, "Xiaolan, this girl has a deep affection for me, and she didn't forget to leave me the money when she was dying, but I failed others, do you think I'm still a person?" ”
Dai Jinshuang is not a greedy person, how can Shi Zhi covet Liang Xiaolan's inheritance at this time? Since Liang Xiaolan refused to operate, Dai Jinshuang simply dismissed all the servants of Liang Xiaolan's family, sold the house and all the jewelry and antiques, and then arranged Liang Xiaolan into the special aristocratic ward of the British royal family. I don't know whether Chinese medicine or Western medicine has played a role, Liang Xiaolan's condition has miraculously improved under the treatment of this "combination of Chinese and Western medicine", not only breaking through the eight-month period given by the doctor, but also recovering to the ground, and even signs of recovery, according to the examination of Western medicine, the spread of cancer cells seems to have been inhibited, even those experts of the Royal Academy of Medicine, who have always been invincible, have to call it a miracle, and even regard Chinese medicine as a heavenly art, and admire, There are even a few old men and experts in their seventies and eighties who have the idea of learning Chinese medicine from scratch, but they give up due to language and cultural barriers.
"It's not a way to spend money like this..."Dai Jinshuang said, "After living in the aristocratic ward of the hospital for more than two years, Xiaolan's condition is under control, but the bank deposit has bottomed out again, and I can't get in and out every day, I am also worried, I want to stay with Xiaolan to take care of her, and I can't get rid of making money, and the British only believe in God, not feng shui, and my ability is not good there... I once thought of asking Song Shiliang to help raise money, but then I inquired and found out that he had gone before me, and the worst thing was..."Dai Jinshuang sighed, "The most terrible thing is that my life is coming to an end..."
During the Anti-Japanese War, Dai Jinshuang's Yang Shou began to appear when Liang Xiaolan's condition had just improved, and when Dai Jinshuang was thinking about whether to ask the Liao family for help behind Liang Xiaolan's back, a mouthful of black blood suddenly spit out disrupted all plans.
"My life is one hundred and fifteen, and there are less than sixty left..."Dai Jinshuang smiled slightly, "I'm busy and forgetful, I forgot that I have a birthday..., pinch my fingers, and there is still half a year to live... I don't care about death, but I have to send Xiaolan away in a beautiful way no matter what..."
