Chapter 229 Except for his slightly outstanding appearance, there is nothing he can do to threaten them
The moment the system was shut down, Zhou Xiaoxing put down his teacup and glanced at Liang Kuan. The latter looked expectant, as if as long as Zhou Xiaoxing agreed to help, Huang Feihong would be fine. Yacasu next to him was not very clear about Zhou Xiaoxing's ability, so when he saw A Kuan bending
My waist straightened suddenly, and hope slowly appeared in my eyes.
"Since you think so highly of me, I will help you."
"This is travel expenses."
"This is a medicine for blindness."
Well...the two apprentices Huang Feihong accepted are quite likable.
He had a lot of money. Except for a few changes of clothes, his luggage was filled with bulging money bags. Zhou Xiaoxing did not take a fancy to the money bag that Liang Kuan placed on the table, which was mostly deflated.
There was no need to bring medicinal materials. From Guangzhou to Foshan, he was not taking a plane but riding a horse. The journey would take at least two days. He had to pay close attention and exhausted several good horses. It would take him a day and a night at the earliest. He was traveling like this.
The medicinal materials have long been dropped halfway.
It is impossible to pick it up, it will waste time.
He also did not take the medicinal materials that Yacasu pushed over.
"No need, wait until I find your master."
After saying that, he stood up, left Baozhilin, got on the sedan chair, gave another one or two silver coins, and stared directly at the bearer of the sedan chair in Xiangzhilin before he started doing business.
After traveling all day and night, Zhou Xiaoxing stopped when night fell. He was only two hours away from arriving in Foshan. It wasn't that he didn't dare to walk at night, but... the horse fell down and twitched a few times.
, the kind that can’t get up.
Fortunately, this horse is smart. There is smoke rising from a stove a few meters in front, and there is someone home.
The unhappiness in Zhou Xiaoxing's heart disappeared immediately. He will take a short rest tonight. Huang Feihong can't see it for the time being. No one will die.
When he got up, he patted the dust on his body, waved his hands and walked towards the direction where there were people. He took out a few coins from the luggage on his shoulder. It was rare for someone to live in this place, so he couldn't let others suffer.
As he slowly approached, Zhou Xiaoxing discovered that this area had been deserted for a long time. The house that appeared for no reason was actually a temporary thatched house. Although it was simple, it was more spacious than before. It was arranged casually and looked habitable.
This condition...
Putting the money in his hand back into his luggage, he stood in front of the bamboo door and waved high: "Is there anyone here? I want to stay overnight."
At the same time as he put down his hand, an old man in ragged clothes came out. He walked slowly, glanced at Zhou Xiaoxing behind the door, and waved toward the room. A woman with beautiful appearance, slim figure, simple and elegant clothes, and a heroic spirit came out.<
/p>
No, there can be such a stunning beauty in the wilderness. At first glance, she looks like Qi Qin. This is after the case was over, she left the Qi family and found a place to stay here.
If you are an acquaintance, then it will be easier.
When he raised his hand again, Zhou Xiaoxing stopped. Qi Qin had seen him before and would not look at him like this. It was he who helped Bao Longxing become a good official. Indirectly, he was the one who solved the case for her.
. Putting aside these things, just in the town, he worried about her safety many times, so she couldn't help but remember him.
This kind of look, this kind of look when seeing a stranger guessing his identity, is not Qi Qin's.
And with her open steps and open arms, this woman knows martial arts, which is not bad.
Since he is not Qi Qin, Zhou Xiaoxing will not take advantage of this relationship. He will treat him as a stranger, smile and repeat what he just said.
He's just staying overnight, so don't worry. Apart from his slightly outstanding looks, there's nothing he can do to threaten them.
He didn’t say anything about top martial arts such as the magical power of his hands, Foshan Shadowless Kicks, and Drunken Fist. No one asked him to explain?
From a distance, he saw this old man and young man, a man and a woman, moving their mouths a few times but not opening the door for him. Combined with his many years of social experience, Zhou Xiaoxing understood.
"I have money, so I won't live in vain."
Upon hearing this, the heroic woman immediately stood in front of the old man and shouted to Zhou Xiaoxing: "There are no extra rooms here, you go elsewhere."
The voice is nice, but the words are indeed cruel.
Zhou Xiaoxing glanced around cooperatively, spread his hands, and then said: "You are the only family here. I will stay for one night and leave tomorrow. Huang Feihong is waiting for me to save his life."
I did it subconsciously, but I didn't expect that the woman stood slightly on tiptoe, and in a few breaths, she came in front of Zhou Xiaoxing, and the temptation on her face faded a bit.
Save Huang Feihong? Who is he? Is he Huang Feihong’s person? Why did he suddenly come here? What is his intention?
Sister, we are already here, don’t think so much now, just open the door and let him in.
Seeing this woman coming over, she didn't say anything or open the door, just staring at him. He thought about whether there were any words in the first sentence that were worthy of her coming.
I thought of Huang Feihong.
"Girl, I am a good friend of Huang Feihong. I came to Foshan to find him at the request of his apprentice. His eyes were injured and he urgently needs someone to take care of him."
Revealing as much information about Huang Feihong as possible, the woman's expression continued to soften. Zhou Xiaoxing slowly exhaled. When he pushed the door open and came in, the woman raised her elbow horizontally, only one centimeter away from grabbing Zhou Xiaoxing's throat.
This scene is somewhat familiar, Zixia and Zhizunbao.
It’s clear, it’s time to say that classic line, once upon a time, I didn’t cherish it... It’s over, I can’t remember it.
"How do you prove it?"
"Prove it?"
While leaning back, Zhou Xiaoxing replied speechlessly. What he said was true, and he didn't know how to prove it.
It's like the outrageous news from the previous life proves that my mother is my mother.
Pushing her elbow forward, the woman continued to question Zhou Xiaoxing. He told her that she had to believe it. She had to suffer a lot before rescuing her father when she was in Foshan. She knew that the man in front of her was not sent by the government to arrest her. Although
He gave birth to a handsome boy. It is said in the movies that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie, just like a man.
"In this case, you let me in first, and then I will tell you slowly."
Thinking of taking a moment to check whether there was anything in his luggage that could prove his relationship with Huang Feihong, Zhou Xiaoxing suggested that we go inside first.
What do you mean by standing still here? It's her business to pose as she likes, and it's not his business to stand like this.
"No."
The woman answered decisively, and just as she was thinking about how to get the man to retreat, a "clang" sound came from the room. Oh no, I'm afraid Huang Feihong fell down.
Her father was getting older, his body was not as good as before, and she couldn't help him. She turned her eyes and glanced at Zhou Xiaoxing, who was looking like he was eating melon in front of her, and reluctantly took back her hand and went back.
"Girl, I'm coming in. If you don't answer, I'll treat it as if you agreed."
As the woman walked quickly back into the house, Zhou Xiaoxing reached where the old man was standing in a few steps, put down his luggage, and looked at the structure of the house.
It looks simple from the outside, but it's very sophisticated on the inside. It's a temporary thatched house, but the main frame of the house is made of bamboo, and the thatch covering it is not piled up randomly, each piece of thatch is neatly combed.
Arrange them in an orderly manner.
Although such a house cannot protect against strong winds and heavy rains, it is not a big problem to take shelter for a while.
The place he was in was the lobby of the house, with a simple layout and almost no decorations. There was a stone table and a few stone chairs. There was a teapot on the table. Zhou Xiaoxing stretched out his nose and smelled it. He was not a tea expert, but he was just vaguely aware of it.
Smelling a medicinal smell, he thought the brew here was medicinal wine.
After taking a closer look and smelling it, this doubt was dispelled. The teapot was not tea, not wine, just plain water.
The medicinal smell came from the side pocket. I walked out of the living room and looked to the left. There was a shed set up to form a semi-open kitchen. A few sticks of firewood were scattered on the ground. My eyes slowly moved up and I discovered this smell.
Source.
The medicine pot with a corner missing on the side was breathing heavily. Most of the fire below was extinguished, leaving only some half-red charcoal to provide warmth to the medicine pot.
Are there any patients?
Is this woman's husband? Looking at the way she left in a hurry with her head first, and the worried and anxious look in her eyes, this patient is seriously ill.
Unfortunately, he is a scholar and cannot treat diseases. If Huang Feihong were here...
When he returned to the house, Zhou Xiaoxing's sharp eyes saw that there were three rooms, one near the kitchen and one on each side of the lobby.
He's not greedy, just give him the biggest room and give him money.
At this time, the old man had already withdrawn from the room on the left, holding a basin of sewage in his hand. There were two-finger-wide bandages inside and on the edge of the basin. There were two oval marks in the middle of each band, one of which was a mark.
The color is darker, and there are herbs of the same size.
Seeing Zhou Xiaoxing walking straight over, the old man put the basin in his hand behind his back, carefully looked at Zhou Xiaoxing and called the woman out.
"Yan'er, come out quickly."
"What's the matter, Dad?"
Sichuan dialect?
Zhou Xiaoxing was stunned at first, then saw the woman named Yan'er put on a defensive posture again, smiled, took out a few ingots of silver, and placed them gently on the table.
"I told you that I'm just here to stay overnight. I'll put the money here and I can't see the rest."
I pointed to the rooms on the left and right of the lobby, and finally stopped at the one on the right. I turned around and was about to go in, when I suddenly felt a breeze blowing behind my head.
Do you want to fight without money?
He was the least satisfied with being beaten and killed, but in order to prove his identity, he had to show off the special skills Huang Feihong taught him.
Slowly move your right leg apart, and then stop when it is in line with your left foot. At the same time, your upper body slowly moves down, and your hands are opened to form the same shape as the front and rear feet.
This is the fighting that Huang Feihong taught him. No, he has to act cool before the competition. Oh, it's just to warm up in advance.
