Chapter 2 Do you want to cultivate yourself? I’ll teach you
Liang Xi ran out of the alley with the jade ring in her hand, breathing heavily and feeling that her back was soaked.
We ran all the way to Desheng Pawn Shop, the largest pawnshop nearby. When the gatekeeper saw Liang Xi coming, he smiled and said: "Xiao Xizi, this time it's not your old quilt again, right?
Last time you used your quilt to defraud our shopkeeper of more than twenty taels of silver, and the shopkeeper hasn't settled the account with you yet."
Liang Xi was eager to save people at the moment, so she had no intention of trying to argue with him. Normally, she would have said, "That is a light fur hibiscus tent that is warm in winter and cool in summer. The shopkeeper took away twenty taels of silver. I felt very sad."
Oh my god, since I lost that quilt, I can’t eat well now, and I can’t sleep well, not to mention how uncomfortable I am.”
Now I just waved my hand quickly, opened the door curtain and got in.
"You'd better be careful, the shopkeeper's anger seems to be still there." The waiter warned him from behind.
When the shopkeeper saw it was Liang Xi, he was about to pick up a broom and drive him away, but when he saw Liang Xi holding a ring and dazzling it in front of his eyes, his pupils instantly shrank into a line, and his old face was full of wrinkles.
She almost wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, her eyes kept looking at Liang Xi's hand: "Xiao Xizi, what about you-"
Judging from the shopkeeper's face, Liang Xi estimated that the ring was as good as she had expected. She immediately said directly: "Stop talking nonsense, look at how much money it is. I need it urgently. There will be no problem with the source. I will use my head to do it."
guarantee."
The shopkeeper's hands were shaking when he took the jade ring. After looking at it without saying a word, he immediately signed out a pawn ticket worth 80,000 taels and handed it to Liang Xi.
"Pfft!" Liang Xi's eyes widened when she saw the words on the pawn ticket, and she said in shock, "Eight, eighty thousand taels!"
What is the concept of 80,000 taels? The largest house in Dongcheng, He Yuanwai, only costs 60,000 taels of silver and covers an area of 1,000 acres.
The shopkeeper thought that Liang Xi was too low, and hurriedly put the jade ring into his arms: "Xiao Xizi, we are old acquaintances, this price is absolutely fair, I am the only one in Yangdu City who will give you this price, and the rest will be absolutely fair."
It won’t cost more than eight thousand taels of silver.”
After a moment of silence, Liang Xi suddenly stood up and walked to him, her face as heavy as water, and handed the pawn ticket under the shopkeeper's nose: "I want to redeem the pawn."
Liang Xi just thought of a question. How much would the life of a person who casually put 80,000 taels of silver on his finger be worth? I didn't realize that the middle-aged man was actually a rich man.
It's just different, tens of thousands of taels of silver are casually worn on the finger.
Seeing the shopkeeper's hesitation, Liang Xi's face darkened: "Redemption! I'll be back later and give you something else."
As soon as she ran out of the pawn shop, Liang Xi went straight to the old house, thinking in her heart, don't die, don't die, don't die.
When she arrived at the old house, Liang Xi found the big pit and saw the man still lying in it. After taking a breath, she immediately jumped down and helped the man lean on the edge of the pit. She stretched out her hand to check his breathing.
The big stone in Xi's heart finally fell to the ground. She still had energy, but it was so weak that she could hardly notice it.
Only now did Liang Xi discover that there was a large gash in this man's waist and ribs, with the skin and flesh inside turned out. The bleeding had stopped, but the deep, bloody wound made it even more horrifying.
"You won't die even if you look like this. You are lucky." Liang Xi said to this man, putting the jade ring back on his finger, groping for him again, and weighing the purse on this man's waist.
After all, it's probably not ordinary.
Taking the purse, Liang Xi hurriedly ran towards the pawn shop. Even if he was not a doctor, he could see that if this man did not receive timely treatment, even the Great Luo Jinxian would not be able to save him.
Liang Xi didn't notice that after she ran away, the man slowly fell back to the ground, but an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Sweating profusely, he went to the shopkeeper and handed over his purse. Although this purse was far less valuable than the previous jade ring, it was still pawned for more than 600 taels of silver, which made Liang Xi slightly surprised.
The shopkeeper, on the other hand, pinched his teeth and asked Liang Xi why he didn't use the jade ring. Liang Xi was eager to save people, kicked the shopkeeper aside, and went to the bank to cash in fifty taels with six 100-tael silver notes.
With scraps of silver, she hired a few strong men to come to the abandoned house and move the half-dead man to Futai Restaurant, the best restaurant nearby. Liang Xi opened an upper room in the restaurant to accommodate the man, and then went to the city to find him.
A famous doctor came to treat this man.
This doctor was a famous sage in Yangducheng. He used ancestral acupuncture and blood-activating techniques on the injured person. He then prescribed a few prescriptions and told Liang Xi that nothing serious was wrong and that he should pay attention to good health to avoid the root cause of the disease.
Liang Xi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the man on the bed. Although this man's face was still as pale as before, his breathing had calmed down.
After paying a large sum of medical fees, Liang Xi sent the doctor away.
The daily expenses of Futai Restaurant are not small. Liang Xi still has more than three hundred taels of silver in her hand. At least this month's food and accommodation will be no problem.
You don’t need to worry about the money needed for the rest of the expenses. Everything you pick up from this guy’s body is probably priceless. Even the most inconspicuous small purse can be pawned for more than 600 taels of silver. Anyway, that’s it.
To save his life, I guess he won't mind pawning his belongings when he doesn't have enough money.
In the following days, Liang Xi did not go to her own stall, not to mention hexagrams, and was responsible for taking care of the injured and unconscious person all day long. Although she had the help of the restaurant's waiters to prepare the medicine and make the medicine, but hello
Liang Xi did all the medicine herself.
The emperor paid off. Under Liang Xi's care, on the fourteenth day, the rich man in Liang Xi's eyes finally woke up.
Liang Xi was quite happy when the man woke up, thinking that she could get some words out of him, such as his last name, how much money his family had, and how he ended up in that abandoned house.
But what makes Liang Xi depressed is that this guy is like a wooden pile after waking up. He just sits on the bed in a daze every day. He ignores everything Liang Xi says to him, as if he doesn't hear him at all.
If Liang Xi didn't sit up every time he said he had taken medicine, it would be easy for people to think that this person is simply deaf and mute.
After another half month, the man's injuries recovered much faster than the doctor expected at the time. He is now able to walk, and his complexion is gradually rosy, and he has finally regained some of his original handsome and handsome temperament.
The restaurant opposite Futai Restaurant is famous. Every day when he walks on the rooftop, this person will cause a commotion among the sisters across the street. Some even claim that they can accompany him for free, and even give him money. This kind of good thing makes Liang Xi jealous behind her back.
.
Time passed by another month. During this month, this man suddenly became gloomy. He looked at the sky with a sullen face every day, and every morning, lunch and night, he would take out bamboo sticks on the table to calculate the heavenly stems and earthly branches. He didn't know what he was going to do.
What are you doing? You usually smile when you see Liang Xi, but now you just treat Liang Xi as a piece of white paper and ignore it when you see it. This makes Liang Xi hate you. At least I am your savior, okay, not me.
, you have already left it there to rot.
That night, Liang Xi brought him dinner as usual, and put the standard three dishes and one soup on the table. Liang Xi got up to go out.
Suddenly someone asked him: "Why don't you sit down and eat together?"
"Ah? Have I eaten?" Liang Xi replied subconsciously. After finishing speaking, she immediately felt something was wrong. She turned around and stared at the man dumbfounded, "You, you are not mute -"
"When did I say that I was mute?" The man raised the corners of his mouth, smiled slightly, and waved his hands. His movements were indescribably graceful and elegant, "My Excellency Yuwen Qingyang, thank you in advance for saving my life."
"Helping others is the foundation of happiness. Don't look at me like this. If any cats or dogs were injured on the road, I would take care of them so carefully." Liang Xi had a righteous look on her face, "If you were grateful to me, that would be the opposite.
It seems that you are too angry, so let’s do this, you can just give me a few million taels of silver, and we have agreed, if you don’t give me more, I will fall out with you if you give me more!”
Looking at Liang Xi's expectant expression, Yuwen Qingyang smiled slightly and stretched out a finger. Liang Xi's face was immediately filled with excitement as if he had been injected with chicken blood: "One, one, you are so awesome to me."
One million taels?"
Yuwen Qingyang shook his head and said with a smile: "Money is something external to the body. It will not be taken away until life and death. If you want to learn cultivation, I can teach you."
