At this point, he coughed again, his whole body hunched up, and as he coughed, blood overflowed from the corners of his lips. Huang Niuer was about to get up and go find the doctor, but Mr. Zhang tried his best to hold him back.
He shook his head lightly, "No... no need..."
Before he finished speaking, a large amount of blood suddenly overflowed from his mouth, and then his head hung down weakly.
"Mr. Zhang!" Huang Niu'er was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses for a moment, screamed and threw herself into his arms, crying loudly.
This result made Chu Tianjiao secretly shocked.
Listening to Huang Niu'er's heartbreaking cry, she frowned slightly, and finally she ducked down from the roof and landed behind him. She took out a silver coin from her body and put it on the stove, "Don't cry.
Well, use the money to take care of Mr. Zhang’s funeral arrangements. When it’s over, you can come find me at the Yuelai Inn in Beicheng!”
Huang Niu'er obviously didn't expect her to come. His face was full of tears, but he didn't know what to say.
Chu Tianjiao looked at the dead Mr. Zhang on the chair indifferently, and disappeared behind the distant roof in a flash.
All the way back to the inn, Chu Tianjiao saw He Lanji standing at the foot of the steps outside the inn from a distance, hunched over in the cold wind. Her heart warmed, and she almost couldn't help but rush over and hug him. After all, it was still
She endured it, walked quickly in front of him, and threw the food in her hand into his arms.
"Help me get my stuff up there!"
He Lanji took the things, showed her a smile, and then lowered his face again, assuming the posture of a servant.
The two of them walked into the inn one after another. They saw Old Yu still lying on the counter, not knowing whether he was really sleeping or pretending to sleep, but Xiao Yu'er was nowhere to be seen.
As if sensing Chu Tianjiao's doubts, He Lanji slightly raised his chin towards the backyard. Chu Tianjiao strode back to his room and carefully opened the closed window a small crack. He saw Xiao Yu'er sitting in the backyard.
He was holding a rusty old ax in one hand on a piece of firewood. He casually raised his hand and split the piece of firewood in front of him, which was as thick as his waist, into two halves.
He Lanji came over and held her cold little face with his warm hands, "Except for Xiao Yu'er going to buy groceries at noon, the two of them have almost never left the inn!"
After closing the window tightly, Chu Tianjiao pulled him to sit at the table, casually took out the food she bought and tasted it for him, and then briefly told him about the encounter with scalper.
In the next few days, Chu Tianjiao stayed in the inn most of the time, creating a barrier and practicing martial arts hard. After Huang Niuer took care of Mr. Zhang's funeral, he also came to the inn to help a few people run errands and buy things.
In the past few days, the two dragons in the inn have been doing the same thing every day. They occasionally show up to buy vegetables, and then one sleeps and the other chops firewood.
Soon, it was the first day of February. While scalpers bought back the food, they also brought back the news they saw from the square. The competition officially started on the morning of the second day of the second lunar month. A total of more than 500 people signed up. In order to save time, during the preliminary round
Each group of ten people can attack in any way, and then draw lots to determine their opponents until the top ten and the final champion are selected.
"In addition to the Lan family, everyone from the major families is here, as well as Shenzong, who has also sent Shenzong guards to participate in the competition. Now betting has begun in the casino. People from the five major families and Shenzong guards have the highest support rate!" Huang Niuer said!
He said excitedly, and took out a rolled piece of paper from his body and handed it to Chu Tianjiao, "Sir, look, there is not only a portrait but also an introduction on it!"
