Chapter 18: The Truth
"Master, I've found a way to detoxify." At this time, Mr. Ghost ran into Chen Zuyi's room with an excited expression.
"Is that true?" Listening to the words of the ghost doctor, the sadness on Chen Zuyi's face suddenly disappeared, and he jumped up from the bed, and he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, and he greeted him at once.
According to ancient records, this poisonous scorpion is called Poisonous Lady, and after being bitten, the patient will have red spots all over the body, weak limbs, and be unconscious. It must be detoxified within three days, otherwise it will ......"
"Mr. Ghost, I don't care what this poison is? I just want to know the antidote. Seeing that the ghost doctor said a lot of inconsequential words, Chen Zuyi's heart was very anxious, and he interrupted him all of a sudden.
"I'm sorry, big boss, I'm used to it." The ghost doctor laughed. "To detoxify this poison, you need to combine the thousand-year-old ginseng, Tianshan snow lotus, and cordyceps sinensis. It's just ......" said this, and the ghost doctor stopped talking, as if there was something unspeakable.
"Mr. Ghost, if you have something to say, just say it, don't spit it out." At this time, because Chen Xiaojie was in danger, Chen Zuyi's heart was very anxious. But at this time, the ghost doctor only spoke half of his words, which simply drove him crazy, but it was not easy to attack.
"Hey...... ...... hell," the ghost doctor shook his head helplessly, and continued, "In order for this medicine to work, you need the breast of your loved ones as a medicine guide. ”
"The breast of a loved one? …… Mr. Ghost, what do you mean? ……”
"Yes, if you want to save the young master's life, you must use everyone's breast meat as a medicine guide, and this amount cannot be less, big boss, you also know that under the chest of a person is the atrium, if you want to rip off the breast raw, then there will be a lot of bleeding, then ......" Mr. Ghost did not continue.
"That is, I might die?"
"Hey...... Not possible, but certainly. Mr. Ghost sighed deeply.
Listening to the words of the ghost doctor, Chen Zuyi suddenly fell into deep thought.
"Little Red." After a long time, Chen Zuyi came to his senses.
"What do you have to say, after hearing Chen Zuyi's summons, the maid Xiaohong immediately walked in from outside the door.
"What do you command, sir, go and bring me a pen and paper, and hand over Wang Dali to me." Chen Zuyi instructed Xiaohong.
"Mr. Ghost, you go over and take care of Xiaojie first, I'll go over later." As soon as Xiaohong left with her front foot, Chen Zuyi said to Mr. Ghost again.
After Mr. Ghost gave Chen Zuyi another salute, he left.
"Big boss, what are you looking for me?" As soon as he entered the door, Wang Dali greeted Chen Zuyi, and he could see that there was something wrong with Chen Zuyi's expression today.
"Dali, you should be behind me for 10 years, right?" Chen Zuyi said with a sigh.
"It's been almost 11 years, and I still remember when we were slender men together, my eldest brother always took good care of me."
Speaking of this, Wang Dali couldn't help but recall the old days. Unconsciously, Wang Dali's title to Chen Zuyi has also changed from "big boss" to "big brother".
"Time flies!" Chen Zuyi felt again.
"By the way, how is the second boss doing?" Chen Zuyi suddenly changed his words and asked Wang Dali about Liu Jinxing.
"Huh? …… Oh...... The second master has been lying on the bed to recuperate since he was beaten with 80 military sticks by the military advisor last time. Although Wang Dali was puzzled as to why Chen Zuyi asked him about Liu Jinxing at this time, he still truthfully reported Liu Jinxing's situation to Chen Zuyi.
"Tonight, you lead a group of believers to get rid of him, remember, be sure to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" At this time, Chen Zuyi lowered his voice and whispered in Wang Dali's ear.
"Ah......, the second master is your cousin......" Hearing Chen Zuyi's words, Wang Dali's jaw dropped in shock. Because Wang Dali knows that in addition to his son Chen Xiaojie, Chen Zuyi's most precious thing is this cousin Liu Jinxing. Wang Dali really couldn't understand what caused Chen Zuyi to make such a decision.
"Dali, Xiaojie's illness must be cured by using my breast as medicine, so I estimate that I will die soon......"
"What...... Is Xiaojie's illness so serious? Wang Dali couldn't believe his ears.
"No...... Big brother, let's use my meat, right? When you saved a life, I swore in my heart that my life would be yours from now on. Xiaojie needs you, and the pirate group can't leave you......"
"I'm very happy that you can have this heart, but, no, Mr. Ghost said, you have to use the flesh on the chest of your loved ones, in fact, in Guangdong back then, if it weren't for your brothers, I would have died, so it's okay, I can finally go to see Xiaojie and his mother." Chen Zuyi gently patted Wang Dali's shoulder with his hand.
"After I left, Xiaojie was left alone. I know my cousin too well, and I'm used to being arrogant, but I'm fine, and if I'm not there, no one will hold him down. Therefore, for the sake of filial piety, I must eradicate him today. Chen Zuyi's tone was full of helplessness and pathos.
"Dali, although you are not my own brother, you have always been the person I trust the most. After my death, the Black Pearl Pirates and Xiaojie will be entrusted to you. ”
"In addition, the military advisor and the Jin Du Governor are both talents, so treat them well."
"But remember, you must not let them out of the island, they know too many things, and if the things on the island leak out, the consequences will be unimaginable. I can't joke with my brothers' lives. Chen Zuyi instructed Wang Dali.
"Big brother, don't worry, I will handle everything you explain one by one. From today onwards, I will take good care of Xiaojie as well as I do with my own son. When he said this, Wang Dali's eyes were shining with tears.
"How's your business going?" In the room, Liu Jinxing asked his confidant Liu Hao.
"I have secretly sent someone back to the base camp to deliver the message a few days ago, and I estimate that in about seven or eight days, our people will be able to arrive here." Liu Hao replied.
"Knock knock". At this moment, there was a knock on the doorman's door.
"Who?" Liu Jinxing asked vigilantly.
"Me." Outside the door, Xiaohong's coquettish voice came.
"Come in." At this time, Liu Jinxing glanced at Liu Hao and motioned for him to leave first.
"How's it going?" As soon as he entered the door, Liu Jinxing asked Xiaohong.
"He called me in today and asked me to prepare paper and pen for him, and asked me to call Wang Dali over." Xiaohong told Liu Jinxing everything she knew.
"What is he looking for Wang Dali for?"
"I don't know."
"Didn't I let you be there?" Liu Jinxing complained.
"The guards brought by Wang Dali are at the door, where do you let me stand?" Xiaohong said angrily.
"If you think I'm not doing a good job, you can find another woman."
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, where can other women compare to you, you know that I only have you in my heart." After listening to Xiaohong's words, Liu Jinxing hurriedly put on a smile and apologized.
It's not that he can't find other women, it's just that no woman can easily contact Chen Zuyi. This is also the reason why he came into contact with Xiaohong.
The biggest shortcoming of women is that they are too easy to believe in men's rhetoric, and after listening to Chen Zuyi's words, Xiaohong's anger immediately disappeared by half.
"Although I don't know what Wang Dali told him, I do know that he wrote a letter in the room after Wang Dali left." As she spoke, Xiaohong took out a letter from her arms.
"It's you." As he spoke, Liu Jinxing stepped forward and kissed Xiaohong, and then took the letter from her.
"He didn't find out, did he?" Liu Jinxing said worriedly.
"Don't worry, he'll go to his son's room. I sneaked in to get it after he left. Take a look. I'll have to send it back as soon as I see it, because it won't be good if he finds out. Xiaohong urged.
Liu Jinxing opened the letter and looked at it, it turned out to be a suicide note written by Chen Zuyi to Chen Xiaojie:
Xiaojie, when you read this letter, your father should no longer be in this world. I promised your mother to take good care of you, but it seems that my father is going to break his promise again.
Uncle Mighty will take good care of you after your father's absence, you have to listen to him, if you don't mind, then I will hand over the Black Pearl Pirate Group to you. If you don't like it, let Uncle Dali go to Guangdong to find your grandfather and grandmother, I have already told them that they will take good care of you.
In the future, my father and mother will guard you in heaven together, and my father loves you!
After reading this letter, Liu Jinxing felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, although he didn't know why Chen Zuyi wrote this letter, but judging from the content of the letter, Chen Zuyi was dying.
Liu Jinxing didn't expect that even God was on his side this time, and Liu Jinxing was still worried that he would risk failure if he secretly summoned his subordinates to attack Chen Zuyi.
Now it's okay, Chen Zuyi is going to die. What can you do with a little furry child? Soon, the Black Pearl Pirates were their own.
At this time, Liu Jinxing was immersed in joy, but he didn't know that danger was quietly approaching him.
I saw a group of black shadows holding sharp blades, leaping forward, and climbing over the wall without difficulty. Their movements were swift and swift, without making a sound.
However, just as Wang Dali and the others approached Liu Jinxing's room, a figure appeared.
Before Chen Xiaojie's bed, Chen Zuyi took out a knife after glancing at his son with a look on his face.
"Big boss, why don't you take some medicine first, and when you fall asleep, I'll help you cut it." At this time, Mr. Ghost suggested to Chen Zuyi.
"No, I'll look at him more before I die." As he spoke, he raised the knife in his hand without hesitation.
"Dad, don't." At the moment when Chen Zuyi stabbed the knife in his chest, Chen Xiaojie woke up from the bed and threw himself into Chen Zuyi's arms.
"Bell." With a crisp sound, Chen Zuyi's hand also fell to the ground.
At this moment, Chen Zuyi was completely stunned, he didn't know why his son suddenly woke up.
"Xiaojie, are you alright?" Chen Zuyi looked Chen Xiaojie up and down.
"I'm fine."
"But these ......," Chen Zuyi asked, pointing to the red spots on Chen Xiaojie's face.
"Oh, these are fakes." Chen Xiaojie wiped the red spots on his face with his cuffs and smiled at Chen Zuyi.
"Mr. Ghost, what the hell is going on?" Chen Zuyi was even more confused now, and turned his head to Mr. Ghost.
"It's up to me to explain all this to the regimental commander." At this time, Li Sui walked in from outside the door with a smile.
The incident happened the day after Chen Zuyi went to sea to plunder the Japanese tributary ship.
On this day, Li Sui still went to Chen Xiaojie's room to teach him a lesson as usual.
However, when he arrived, he found Chen Xiaojie crying in front of a piece of jade pendant. This has never happened before.
"What's wrong?" Li Sui asked with concern.
Chen Xiaojie shook his head desperately, still crying over there.
"Is there anything you can tell the teacher? Maybe the teacher can help you out? Li Sui gently patted him on the shoulder.
Chen Xiaojie didn't respond, just cried to himself.
Li Sui had no choice but to accompany him silently on the side.
After a long time, Chen Xiaojie was tired of crying and finally stopped crying. But still not a word.
"Well, I've got a copy of Flowboy here, and if you want it, I'll sell it to you cheaper." Li Sui pointed to a book and said to Chen Xiaojie.
"I used to work in a bookstore. Later, the boss ran away with my sister-in-law, so I took the books in the store and sold them, buy them now, don't want 998, don't want 98, as long as nine yuan eight, you can't buy nine yuan eight and you can't be fooled at a loss, as long as nine yuan eight, "Flower Boy" takes home. ”
"You must be strange, it can't be a fake if it's so cheap, I send four in the name of the people, of course not. So the question is, why is it so cheap, because we are factory direct sales, eliminating intermediate links, and giving the greatest benefits to consumers. ”
"The pace of our promotions is like chewing Xuanmai, and we can't stop at all. Do you have anyone who doesn't like the eye? Do you have any upset people? Then this baby's book, you definitely deserve to have, read your own book, so that others have no books to read. Watch "Playboy Playboy" and make your enemies crackle. “
"In addition, I will give you an extra kitchen knife with eight hearts and arrows and diamonds, Rolls Milk. Rolls Milk, the Rolls-Royce of kitchen knives, designed by Italian famous teachers, Swiss sapphire knife face, South African rhinestones, and the international manic superstar Li Sui is endorsed by Mr. Li Sui, enjoying glory and luxury. ”
"Is this my Rolls Milk? No! It's your Rolls milk, it's better to act than to move, hurry up, contact 3838438......"
For Chen Xiaojie, Li Sui made up a lot of jokes that didn't fit his identity for the first time.
After listening to Li Sui's joke, Chen Xiaojie finally couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, can you tell me what's going on?" Li Sui asked softly again.
So, Chen Xiaojie told him a long story.
Finally, Li Sui learned about this student's past. Although the slender men came in time, Chen Zuyi's father and son picked up a life.
But Chen Xiaojie will never forget the scene when his mother fell in front of his eyes, and he can't forget what the man in black said.
Although he intellectually knew that it was not his father's fault, he had never been able to pass his own level emotionally, and it was also the biggest factor affecting their father-son relationship over the years.
Li Sui also knew that this day was the death day of Chen Xiaojie's mother.
So, in order to untie the knot in Chen Xiaojie's heart, Li acted in a play with Mr. Ghost in collusion.
The moment Chen Zuyi raised the knife and stabbed him in the chest, the estrangement between father and son for many years was completely eliminated.
