Chapter Ninety-Six: Paying Back
The sky is clear. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the two passenger ships of Yuanhang and Ocean stopped together, the Zhou family finally got together.
"Grandpa! I was almost eaten by those monsters! As soon as Zhou Yingying saw Zhou Shanting, she threw herself over and cried: "I almost ...... I almost won't see you! ”
Zhou Yingying is the first girl of the Zhou family's grandchildren, and because of the low level of ability, the status of the Zhou family has not been high, so her sense of presence is also very weak. On weekdays, I don't get very close to Zhou Shanting. After narrowly escaping death yesterday, she has been in a state of panic and has not slept all night. At this time, when she finally saw her relatives who could make her trust, her emotions immediately collapsed, and she hugged Zhou Shanting's legs and cried.
"Grandpa, I'm not going to Yuanhang No. 1! Second uncle, he has bad intentions! He wants to kill me! She sobbed and said, "Yesterday I was trapped on the deck, and the second uncle not only didn't let people come to save me, but also closed the hatch, so that I didn't even have a chance to escape!" Woowoo...... It's horrible! I was so scared, really scared......"
Zhou Shanting listened silently, stretched out his hand and patted her.
Far fewer people died on the Voyage One than on board. Maybe it is also related to Zhou Benchu's order to close the hatch.
Zhou Yingying was not alone on the boat.
Zhou Yingying is his granddaughter, and the others are the people of Wuyin City.
Zhou Yingying's life is very important.
The same goes for everyone else.
So it was impossible for him to scold Zhou Benchu for this matter.
When Zhou Yingying vented, the cry gradually became smaller, he patted her shoulder again, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, the matter is over." Come over here and get to know your ......."
He paused, raised his head and pointed at Zhou Ning and said, "You come to know your benefactor, his name is Zhou Ning, and he saved you yesterday." ”
Zhou Yingying had already known Zhou Ning's identity, but she didn't notice that the other party was also sitting in the room. At this time, she was reminded by Zhou Shanting, and she immediately stopped her tears and turned her head to look over.
Compared with yesterday, Zhou Ning seemed much calmer. Zhou Yingying couldn't help blushing when she saw that he had beautiful eyebrows and a slender figure.
"Brother." She stood up, bowed her head and screamed.
Zhou Ning was sitting at the table eating breakfast, and just nodded when he heard the words.
The people on the boat searched for a long time, and only found three boats that sent a distress signal. Zhou Ning went out to solve it as soon as dawn. Many people also died on the three ships, and when he saw that he had destroyed those monsters like a god, he not only cried and screamed. Many people threw themselves on him before the blood was dry, and even if he escaped quickly later, he was rubbed with blood.
But he was so hungry that he didn't even change his clothes when he came back, so he sat at the table and ate with a bloody voice.
Zhou Yingying saw Zhou Ning's cold expression, not only did she not care much, but she admired it even more.
Heroes are cool! She only likes these cool boys!
It's a pity that the other party is her own brother and can't be included in the list of candidates for her future husband.
"Brother, do you want to have breakfast too?" She asked shyly.
Zhou Ning raised his eyes and looked at her: "That's right." I also grew up eating. ”
Zhou Yingying's face turned even redder, and she hummed a mosquito-like voice and said, "What a coincidence, I also grew up eating......"
Zhou Shanting saw that his granddaughter had come out of the shadow of yesterday, so he discussed the itinerary with Zhou Yu on the side.
"Old lady, the three ships that the eldest young master saved are also following us!" Zhou Yu said: "One of them is still from the Ji family. But the routes between us are different! I don't know what they mean by following us all the time. ”
Zhou Shanting listened, and said indifferently: "Follow it, just follow it." The girl of the Ji family was afraid that she would be frightened, knowing that Zhou Ning was on our boat, she would rather follow us first than take any more risks. ”
It's a big deal to go back by land after arriving at Wuyin City - no matter how dangerous it is on land, you can still scatter and find a place to escape for your life. It's not good at sea, either you are eaten by demons, or you commit suicide by jumping into the sea!
Zhou Yu nodded: "It would be good if the eldest young master could follow us all the time." It doesn't matter what kind of demons and monsters he is, none of us need to be afraid. ”
Zhou Shanting listened, and sighed mournfully: "I also hope so." And don't call the eldest young master in the future, he doesn't like the child. ”
He didn't know why Zhou Ning didn't want to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, obviously he recognized his father's identity. Could it be that this grandfather of his, is not good enough?
Zhou Yu said frustratedly: "The eldest young master shouted affectionately......
It's too alienating to call the name!
As they spoke, the door was pushed open.
Everyone looked up, but it was Zhou Benchu who led Zhou Jiawang in.
Seeing this second uncle, Zhou Yingying was angry. No! It should be so hateful that it is itching!
She snorted heavily!
It's just that Zhou Benchu never took this niece to heart, and he never looked at Zhou Yingying from the moment he entered the door. Of course, not only did he not look at Zhou Yingying, but he was his father, Zhou Shanting, the city lord of Wuyin City, and he just screamed perfunctorily and then stopped caring about it.
"Zhou Ning! Sure enough, you're here! He walked directly towards Zhou Ning, and then asked in a questioning tone, "You actually hide here to eat!" Did you know that we've been looking for you for a long time? ”
Zhou Ning pushed the empty plate forward, and fell on the back of the chair with an inexplicable expression: "Looking for me?" Why look for me? ”
They shouldn't have much to do with each other!
Zhou Benchu pulled Zhou Jiawang to stand opposite Zhou Ning, and looked at each other across the table: "You saved a total of seven people, and the other six people were not injured at all, why did our Jiawang lose an arm?" Did you do it on purpose? ”
This is a very straightforward and unkind question. If it was usual, Zhou Jiawang would have stood up to play a round to ease the atmosphere for his father. But today he is not in the right state. He stared straight at Zhou Ning, and it seemed that he also wanted an explanation.
Before Zhou Ning could reply, Zhou Shanting became angry first.
With a "bang", he slapped the coffee table next to him and yelled at Zhou Benchu: "Second brother, what do you mean by that?" Who did it on purpose? ”
He stood up from the spot, hit Zhou Benchu with his crutches, and scolded as he beat him: "Your son is dead!" Dead do you know it! It's good to be able to save it, what else do you want? ”
Zhou Benchu had never seen the art of resurrecting the dead, and he didn't believe that Zhou Jiawang had died at all, so he didn't have the sense of luck that "he was originally dead, but then he was alive again".
He only had a deep disappointment, a thick dissatisfaction!
What a good son he is! But such a good man lost an entire arm! So many people were injured, so many people were rescued, why didn't someone else lose his arm, why did his son lose his arm!
If you want to say that there is no cat in this, you won't believe it if you kill him!
"I don't care! Who knows if he played some shady tricks when he saved people! Zhou Benchu's eyes widened and he yelled at Zhou Shanting: "Otherwise, why is our family looking for arms gone?" ”
Zhou Yu listened to that anger!
"Then you'll have to ask himself!" He immediately interjected and said, "The old man asked him to blast over with a lightning strike ball to blow up that demon cultivator, and he was good enough to be there for a long time." In the end, not only did we not blow up that demon cultivator, but we all killed our own people! Fortunately, Young Master Zhou Ning has the ability to revive us again! Otherwise, even if my old Zhou is dead, he will not die happily! Besides, his arm was blown to pieces, and it was delayed for so long, and the Da Luo Immortal couldn't fight it all when he came! You're embarrassed to hold the eldest young master responsible! The eldest young master was willing to save him, and it was all his luck! ”
Zhou Benchu was originally unaccustomed to Zhou Yu, but after listening to his words, he was even more disgusted. Seeing what Zhou Yu said, he immediately sneered: "Big young master? That's a quick scream! So that's the reason? Destroyed our family and took his place earlier? I tell you, dream! As long as I am at Zhou's house for a day, he Zhou Ning can't go back to Zhou's house for a day! ”
"Zhou Benchu!" Zhou Shanting shouted loudly: "You calm me down!" ”
This is the son on whom he has high hopes? The amount of gas is so small, he can't even accommodate a nephew, what else can he expect from him!
"Calm down! How do you calm me down! Zhou Benchu shouted out in a faux puff: "The family has become like this, and his life has been ruined!" How do you calm me down! ”
Zhou Jiawang is his best son, the pride of the entire Zhou family, and the hope of the entire Wuyin City. He has always been proud of giving birth to such an outstanding son, and even thought that even if the eldest brother was still alive, the child he gave birth to would not be better than his son!
How did you know that my son would become crippled overnight!
Zhou Yingying stood in the corner, looking at Zhou Benchu's crazy appearance, and gloated: "Second uncle, you can be content!" If my eldest brother hadn't saved me yesterday, I would have died a long time ago, and I don't even have a corpse. At that time, I didn't see you responsible for me! I'm your niece, what do you say if my dad is also settling accounts with you afterwards? ”
Zhou Benchu finally glanced at her charity, and scolded sharply: "What are you!" A girl's film! The ability level is so low, are you embarrassed to compare it to our family? ”
Zhou Yingying was angry: "Yes! I'm nothing! But at least I'm not crippled! I have hands and feet...... Unlike some people, they can't be complete for a lifetime! ”
Her attitude was very arrogant, and her expression was extremely unbeaten, which immediately angered Zhou Benchu, and he rushed up to beat Zhou Yingying.
Zhou Shanting was hit on crutches by the two of them, and asked Zhou Yu to pull Zhou Benchu away.
There was a lot of noise in the room, which made Zhou Ning have a headache.
"Smack".
The plate that had just been eaten was thrown to the ground and torn apart.
Everyone stopped and looked at him.
"What a noise!" Zhou Ning looked at Zhou Jiawang impatiently and said, "I don't want to live, do you?" If you don't want to live, die! Don't worry, this time, I promise not to save you again! ”
Zhou Jiawang hadn't said a word since he came in, and when he heard Zhou Ning talking to him, he met Zhou Ning's gaze and asked word by word: "You just tell me the truth, my arm, did you deliberately not connect it to me?" ”
The explosion was instantaneous.
He doesn't remember anything, and he can't remember anything! All he knew was that when he woke up, his arm was gone.
The others, all of them were able-bodied and unharmed.
Only him!
Only his arm is gone!
Why!
Since Zhou Ning has the ability, since he can even save the dead, why don't you help him connect his arm?
Zhou Ning laughed angrily when he heard this: "You first return to me the twenty spars I spent to save you, and I will tell you the answer." ”
Nima's, actually saved a brain-dead!
What's even more terrifying is that this brain-dead still has a vexatious father!
was entangled by the other party because of saving people, and incidentally questioned whether he had ulterior motives for saving people - Zhou Ning felt that his worldview had been impacted! The outlook on life must also be broken and re-established!
Zhou Jiawang immediately quit: "The twenty spars are not used by me alone, why are you counting them on my head?" ”
Zhou Ning said: "I like it, I do!" I just don't like you! You just say you don't give it or not, right? ”
"Don't give it!" Zhou Jiawang turned around and walked out: "I didn't let you save me!" ”
No matter how unconvinced he was, he knew that it was impossible for Zhou Ning to help him connect his arm. In other words, the other party really does not have this ability.
In that case, what are you doing there?
Dejected, he walked out of the room, and ran alone to the small bar on the ship, where he asked the bartender for a drink.
"Big young master!"
was drinking wine, Zhou Jiawang's assistant Zhou Liang came over with Zheng Mingzhu panting: "I can be regarded as finding you!" Young Master, you haven't done today's inspection yet! ”
Zheng Mingzhu saw that Zhou Jiawang was actually drinking, so he immediately stepped forward and snatched the wine glass.
"You can't drink yet!" Zheng Mingzhu said righteously: "I haven't checked my body, what if something happens to my drink?" ”
Zhou Jiawang said impatiently: "I want you to take care of it!" Give me the wine! ”
Zheng Mingzhu took a deep breath, and then raised his head and took a sullen breath!
Zhou Liang didn't even have time to dissuade her, so he watched her drink a glass of wine!
Early in the morning, there weren't many people in the small bar. But there are always a few people who don't go to work and are bored and are getting together to play cards and chat. Originally, everyone didn't notice the situation here, until they heard the bartender shouting hello, and then they saw Zheng Mingzhu's "feat"!
The whistle and the applause immediately rang out.
Everyone also saw Zhou Jiawang.
"Young Master Jiawang!" Qin Zaoxin shouted: "What's the point of drinking with a woman!" Come on, come on! Come and have a drink with us! ”
Zhou Jiawang glanced at Zheng Mingzhu gloomily, turned around and walked to Qin Zaixin's table and sat down.
Zheng Mingzhu was dizzy, sat on the high chair with a buttocks, and then with a "bang", his head hit the bar - he fell asleep!
Zhou Liang was in a hurry, standing in place and hurriedly calling Zheng Mingzhu's master, the district doctor.
The bartender gave Qin Zaoxin some wine on the table, pointed to Zheng Mingzhu and said, "It's okay!" The old man is back, if he sees us getting this chick so drunk, he won't be able to spare us! ”
Qin Zaoxin waved his hand: "It's none of your business!" We all testify that she wants to drink it herself, right, young master Jiawang? ”
Everyone is a person who has died together and lived together, and Qin Zaoxin has long regarded Zhou Jiawang as a brother.
Zhou Jiawang raised his head and swallowed a sip of spirits, and sneered: "Young Master Jiawang? Zhou Yu, that old guy called it that, even if you call it that, you call it that? Who is the eldest young master? Is it the wild seed? The wild seed hasn't recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, and you are already rushing to pat him on the back? ”
Zhou Jiawang's external image has always been personable and measured. He was different from his patriarchal father, and he was very attentive when he talked to people. After so many years outside, let alone foul language, he was very tactful even when he refused someone.
But now, he scolded Zhou Ning in public in front of so many people.
Qin Zaoxin thought that he had misheard, and hurriedly said, "What a sycophant!" Aren't we here to show respect! Saving his life, even if he is not from the Zhou family, we have to call him Young Master Zhou, right? ”
Zhou Jiawang glanced at him and sneered: "Shouldn't you save us from saving me twenty spars?" I don't want you to pay, so you will count this favor to the wild seed, right? You figure it out, he's taking money from people to do things! You treat him as selfless dedication! Bah! And not for the money! ”
Seeing Zhou Jiawang insulting Zhou Ning again and again, Qin Zaoxin's good temper broke out at this moment: "I said, how can you talk!" How to take a bite and plant a wild seed! The city lord has said that Young Master Zhou Ning is the son of the eldest master and the grandson of the Zhou family! He's brother to you, right? He's a wild seed, what are you! ”
Qin Zaoxin was the first to be rescued, he watched the process of Zhou Ning's rescue six times, and his admiration and admiration for Zhou Ning has reached the point where it cannot be expressed in words. Because of the war, the entertainment industry in this world is very decadent, and there are no stars and fans at all. If there is, Qin Zaoxin will definitely announce it as soon as possible that Zhou Ning is his idol, and he is a die-hard fan of Zhou Ning.
His own idol was insulted, and Qin Zaoxin was even more angry than he was insulted!
"Those twenty spars were used by Young Master Zhou Ning when he rescued us. It's a must-have! Shouldn't he go back with us? Qin Zaoxin shouted: "He didn't ask you for any other money!" What more do you want! ”
However, the more Qin Zaoxin argued for Zhou Ning, the more Zhou Jiawang felt that he should respond.
It's only been a long time, and Zhou Ning has already bought so many people's hearts.
"Don't look at me with the kind of eyes I owe him! I don't owe him! Zhou Jiawang said: "Twenty spars, right!" I'm going to give him back all my savings, okay? ”
Look at the eyes of these people, they're all looking at his jokes! What do you say about knowing the grace of the retribution, isn't it that you see that he is crippled, and you think that he can't inherit Wuyin City, so you look down on him?
It's all and eating things inside and out!
Zhou Jiawang raised his head and poured another glass of wine, then stood up and walked out.
Qian Haihai stepped forward to persuade Qin Zaoxin to arrive: "Young Master Jiawang's arm is gone, he must be in a bad mood, why do you want to quarrel with him?" What should I do if something happens, he is the grandson of the Zhou family! ”
Qin Zaoxin also regretted it a little, he knew that Zhou Jiawang was so inconsistent, and he continued to be estranged from the other party just like before.
But he didn't show it on his face, but shook off Qian Hai's hand and said fiercely: "Can you scold people at will if you are in a bad mood?" What a quality! I used to respect him so much! ”
When Qian Hai saw it, he sighed and stopped talking.
"Big young master! Where are you going! Before Zhou Liang could wait for Doctor Ou to come over, he saw his young master staggering out!
He was suddenly angry and anxious! Zhou Jiawang is obviously drunk like this! What if no one was watching and fell headlong into the sea!
Explaining that the bartender had taken a close look at Zheng Mingzhu, Zhou Liang immediately chased him out, but saw Zhou Jiawang staggering towards Zhou Shanting's room.
"Zhou Ning!" He shouted loudly as he walked, and in a few moments the whole boat was shouting out!
Zhou Liang has never felt so embarrassed since he followed Zhou Jiawang. He hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Zhou Jiawang and said, "Young master, let's go back!" What the hell are you going to do? ”
Zhou Ning happened to finish eating, and Zhou Yu took him to find a place to rest: most of the nearby ships were connected, and no more demon cultivators were found. And they are now far from Huaxia. After thinking about it, he decided to stay on the ship for the time being and help them go to Wuyin City to have a look.
met Zhou Jiawang, who was drunk and crazy, and the two glanced at each other.
Zhou Yu stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" Why did you drink so much? ”
Compared with Zhou Ning, he looked down on Zhou Jiawang more and more, and only felt that the other party couldn't stand any setbacks and didn't take responsibility.
Zhou Liang still had a lot of respect for Zhou Yu, and hurriedly replied when he heard this: "Zhou Tezhu, our young master is in a bad mood, I'll help him go back to rest!" ”
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jiawang pushed him away, and then he didn't look at Zhou Liang, but crossed over to the other party and pointed at Zhou Ning and said, "What's so great about you!" Didn't you just save my life? I owe you all the ones who open and shut up! You said! He said! Everybody's talking! ”
He was angry and anxious, and the strength of the wine came up, pointing at Zhou Ning and sneering: "Don't ask so many people to remind me, don't you just want money?" Here you go! ”
Turning around, he shouted at Zhou Liang: "Money!" Give me my money quickly! ”
Zhou Liang walked up to help him again and persuaded him to go back to rest.
But Zhou Jiawang just didn't listen.
"Give him his money!" A voice rang out behind him.
Zhou Liang looked back, and it turned out that Zhou Shanting had also come out!
His heart sank, and he thought to himself that this was over!
"Isn't he going to return the money to Zhou Ning? Then take it out! Zhou Shanting stepped forward and urged Zhou Liang.
He had already seen that Zhou Ning was not short of money at all, and he didn't have to force them to return all the twenty spars. On the contrary, they always look down on people, and they are in a hurry to force Zhou Ning to speak ruthlessly! also forced his eldest grandson to stay farther and farther away from the Zhou family step by step!
Zhou Ning stood in place, motionless.
Zhou Liang had no choice, so he took out Zhou Jiawang's wallet from his pocket and handed it over.
Zhou Jiawang was obviously a little excited. He clutched his wallet, as if trying to pull something out of it. However, he only had one hand now, and he hadn't pulled out a single bill for a long time.
He gradually became anxious, and finally simply smashed his entire wallet towards Zhou Ning: "I don't dare to owe you." You're a hero, I can't afford to owe you money! Here you go! It's all up to you! (To be continued.) )
