"Okay." Zhao Zheng nodded, and he and Lin Jiyuan walked out of the back door and entered a study room.
After the two of them sat down, Lin Jiyuan asked carefully: "Mr. Zhao, I dare to ask you, before you leave, how do you plan to deal with the debt between us?"
"So you're worried about this. The money doesn't matter, just treat it as a gift from me." Zhao Zheng took out the IOU he had prepared all morning from his sleeve and handed it forward, "This is
The IOU is given to you, you can burn it when you have time."
"You are too generous. This is not a small amount of money." Lin Jiyuan was very surprised. He stared at the IOU without blinking, but did not reach out to take it.
"This money is dispensable to me, you can accept it without any worries," Zhao Zheng said with a smile.
"It's such a great kindness, even if you let me not think about it, you can't do it."
"Then it's up to you. The IOU is yours anyway." Zhao Zheng put the IOU on the table and pushed it.
Lin Jiyuan looked at the IOU, hesitated again and again, and suddenly made a decision in his heart, and asked, "Master Zhao, I wonder if you are willing to take Zhong'er as your concubine?"
"Why did you suddenly ask about this?" Zhao Zheng frowned.
"Well, if it were anyone else, I would never agree to my granddaughter becoming a concubine, but if it were you, I would be willing. I think not only I would be willing, but even Zhong'er herself would be willing. And, you
You have lent so much money to our family, and we are simply unable to repay it, so it is appropriate for you to let Zhong Er become your concubine."
"You are willing, but I am not. I have no plans to get married for the time being, and I don't want a wife or a concubine. As for the money I gave you, I have no hope of getting anything in return. Just treat it like you don't have a concubine.
We agreed not to mention it in front of Zhong Er, so as not to make her unhappy." Zhao Zheng shook his head and said.
"Well, it seems that you two are really destined to be together. In this case, I won't force it." Lin Jiyuan sighed. Although the concubine is not as good as the main wife, as long as she can marry Zhao Zheng, Zhong Er will definitely do it.
I am very happy, but now it seems that there is not even a hint of this marriage, let alone the horoscope.
The two chatted for a while. Lin Jiyuan asked about Zhao Zheng's future whereabouts, and Zhao Zheng answered calmly. After chatting for a while, the two left the study and returned to the front hall.
Lin Zhong'er was still standing there, with a frown on her face, looking pitiful.
"Brother Zhao, I also want to say a few words to you alone, okay?" Lin Zhong'er looked up at Zhao Zheng and said hopefully.
"Of course." Zhao Zheng was stunned, nodded in agreement, and looked at Lin Jiyuan. Lin Jiyuan sighed again and expressed agreement with his eyes.
Zhao Zheng and Lin Zhong'er walked side by side to the back door. This time it was their turn to talk alone, and they didn't know what Lin Zhong'er planned to say.
When they arrived at the study, Lin Zhonger stood in front, facing Zhao Zheng with her frail body, lowering her head and remaining silent.
After a long time, Lin Zhong'er said quietly: "I have been holding something in my heart for a long time. I have always wanted to ask but couldn't. You are going to fly away this time. If you don't ask, I'm afraid I will never have the chance to ask again.
Already."
"What do you want to ask?" Zhao Zheng's mouth was filled with bitterness.
"I want to ask you why you won't marry me." Lin Zhonger summoned up the courage to ask, but still didn't have the courage to look back.
"There is no reason for this kind of thing."
"Why not? Do you dislike me for being ugly, or do you dislike me for not knowing martial arts?"
"I don't dislike you. You are a very good girl. Marrying you is a blessing I have cultivated in eight lifetimes. It's just that I don't want to get married yet."
"If you don't want to get married so early, then I can wait for you until you want to get married. You can wait for three years, five years, or even keep waiting." Lin Zhong'er's voice was not loud, but full of determination.
Zhao Zheng hesitated, a little moved, but in the end he still shook his head and said: "No, I don't want you to wait for me..." The meaning of this sentence was very clear.
Lin Zhonger's shoulders trembled, her hands slowly clenched, trembling uncontrollably, and she let out a low sob.
"I'm sorry." Zhao Zhengdao.
Lin Zhonger didn't reply and was silent for a long time. After all her emotions were vented, she raised her sleeves to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and turned around.
"Stand there and don't move."
Lin Zhong'er said as she slowly walked towards Zhao Zheng, getting closer and closer until they were a few inches apart and still didn't stop.
Zhao Zheng couldn't help but his heart beat faster, but he didn't move because of Lin Zhong'er's previous instructions. He lowered his head slightly and stared at Lin Zhong'er's red eyes, waiting for the girl's next move.
Lin Zhonger stood on tiptoes, trying to raise herself as high as possible in order to touch Zhao Zheng, who was a head taller than herself. She put her soft lips to Zhao Zheng's forehead and kissed it gently. This movement was gentle and gentle.
, but the touch it brings is extremely strong, especially the impact on the soul.
Both of them closed their eyes and quietly enjoyed the short-term beauty. All their thoughts disappeared one after another and became blank.
I don't know how long it took, but Lin Zhong'er took a step back, avoided Zhao Zheng's sight, and said sadly: "You can go. From now on, I will never miss you again."
Zhao Zheng took a deep look at Lin Zhong'er and sighed: "Take care and take care of yourself." After saying that, he took a few steps back and left the study.
After closing the door, Lin Zhonger's cry seemed to come from inside the door again.
Zhao Zheng couldn't bear to hear any more, so he quickly returned to the front hall, said goodbye to Lin Jiyuan, and left the Huichun Medical Center.
It's just a frown, but it's in my heart.
Away from Huichun Medical Center, Zhao Zheng still couldn't let go of Lin Zhong'er. The touch of the kiss just now lingered on his forehead and was difficult to dissipate. He was emotionally tied up and felt upset, never being held by anyone.
He got a fast horse and rode it wildly through the streets to let off steam.
Zhao Zheng rode for a long time. Under the strong wind, the distracting thoughts in his heart finally disappeared, and his heart suddenly became enlightened.
He rode back to Hongchen Inn, reined in the reins at the door of the inn, got off the horse, and stopped to stare at the inn's facade.
The tall metal windmill keeps turning, announcing to people passing by that there is a place to rest. The plaque with the four characters "Hongchen Inn" is a bit old, and the original gold paint characters have faded a lot and are mottled.
.The door of the inn is closed tightly, blocking out the wind, frost, rain and snow, and the noise of the guests can be faintly heard inside the door, which is very lively.
Zhao Zheng looked at Hongchen Inn for a long time, remembered this place deeply in his heart, and vowed never to forget it.
Snowflakes fell, first one, ice-cold, fell on Zhao Zheng's cheek, and then more and more, filling the sky.
"Once we say goodbye here, we will conquer thousands of miles." Zhao Zheng murmured in a low voice, took the reins of the horse and walked towards the inn. He first went to the backyard, sent the horse to the stable, and then entered the inn.
It's lunch time now. The inn is full of people, everyone is talking and laughing.
Wang Er lowered his head and worked on the abacus, his fingers were flying, and the abacus beads were clicking. Song Kuaizui was walking among the many tables with a smile on his face, holding a plate of shiny sauce elbows in his hand. Rentuzi was in the kitchen. He was busy working inside and humming a little tune.
This scene was extremely familiar to Zhao Zheng, as if it was fixed in his mind.
Two waiters in the shop saw Zhao Zheng in a daze and stepped forward to say hello.
Zhao Zheng dismissed the waiter, walked up the stairs, and returned to his room. After entering the door, he opened the nursery warehouse, pulled out the quenching fruits planted inside, wrapped the roots with soil in cloth, and put them in the on the table. Then he went into the warehouse, took out tiger bone pills, banknotes and other things, and put them into each other's arms.
Taking these things with him, he came to the door of his sister's boudoir and knocked on the wooden door.
"The door is not closed, come in." Shen Luoxia's voice came from inside the room.
Zhao Zheng held the body quenching fruit in his hand, pushed the door open and walked in.
Shen Luoxia was standing in front of the open window, holding the window frame with her jade hands, admiring the falling snowflakes. She turned around and said with a smile: "I was thinking about when you would come back just now, but I didn't expect that you would come back then. When you come back, it’s like you share your thoughts with me.”
"I'll be back after I finish my work." Zhao Zhengxiao asked, "How are you doing these days, sister?"
"It's a good life, but I always feel lonely without you by my side."
"It's all my fault that my brother is unworthy and failed to serve my sister."
"Without this, your younger brother would be considered very filial." Shen Luoxia's eyes moved down and landed on Zhao Zheng's hand, "What is that in your hand?"
"I was just about to tell you about this." Zhao Zheng took a few steps forward, placed the green plant across his palms, and showed it to his sister, "Have you ever heard of the Body Tempering Fruit?"
"I've heard a little bit about it. I heard that it is a strange fruit that can strengthen the roots and bones. After eating it, you will have a high fever for several days. The fever will subside after the medicine is absorbed." Shen Luoxia noticed the red fruit on the plant, and her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up. "Could this be the Body Tempering Fruit?"
"Exactly."
"Where did you get such a rare thing?" Shen Luoxia was quite surprised.
"I went to Qibao County a few days ago and happened to rescue a martial arts master in the forest. He gave it to me." Zhao Zheng told a lie that had been brewing for a long time, and he told it very truthfully.
"What kind of martial arts master?"
"He didn't reveal his name, and I don't know who he is."
"What does he look like?"
"The figure is about the same as mine. He has a mask on his face, so he can't see clearly. He is about forty years old. He wears a cyan sword at his waist. His skin color is cyan, which is different from ordinary people." Zhao Zheng made up a fictional master. image.
"Are there any other characteristics? How is the accent?" Shen Luoxia continued to ask.
Zhao Zheng continued to make up stories and made up random things. The person he made up had nothing to do with any master in the martial arts world, making it impossible to get into the details.
Shen Luoxia frowned, thought for a long time, shook her head and said, "I really can't figure out the identity of this master. How did you rescue him?"
"He suffered internal injuries from fighting with others and stayed in the forest to practice martial arts to heal his injuries. I happened to be passing by and saw him. He stopped me and asked me to protect him, and asked me for some food and water. I accompanied him I stayed with him for many days and took good care of him. After he recovered from his internal injuries, in order to repay me, he gave me a lot of benefits, including two body quenching fruits. I had already eaten one of the body quenching fruits, and the rest I’ll save this one for you to eat.” Zhao Zheng simply told.
"I never thought you would encounter such a good thing. The Body Tempering Fruit is rare and extremely valuable. You really got a big deal." Shen Luoxia took the Body Tempering Fruit and looked at it up and down.
"In addition to the body tempering fruit, he also gave me some pills to increase my cultivation speed and some silver coins. I kept a part of it, and the rest is here." Zhao Zheng put his hand into his arms and held it. Take out these things, "I don't know what this elixir is called. The master didn't explain it clearly. He told me to only take one pill a month. After taking it, the medicinal power will be accumulated in the Dantian, which can increase the speed of cultivation. Take it for a long time. In terms of silver, there are thirty thousand taels of silver here. If you accept these elixirs and silver taels, it is my tribute to you. I hope you keep the elixirs for your own use, and you can give the extra money to the inn's waiters. Some. I hope I can give more to Brother Song Kuaizui. He was the first to teach me martial arts, and I have always remembered this kindness. As for the specific distribution, it is up to you to decide."
Shen Luoxia watched Zhao Zheng take out such precious elixirs and so much silver, her beautiful eyes slowly widened, and she was surprised: "That mysterious master gave you so much in return? This is so contrary to common sense."
"I thought it was too much at first, but the master said it was what I deserved and just gave it to me, even if I didn't want to." Zhao Zheng continued to lie.
Shen Luoxia thought deeply for a moment and felt that something was fishy. It wasn't that she didn't believe Zhao Zheng, she was just worried that the so-called "mysterious master" had other agendas.
"In my opinion, it's better to keep these things temporarily and not move them around, so as not to get into any trouble." Shen Luoxia decided.
"Sister, you are too worried. According to my observation, that mysterious master is at least a seventh-level heavenly warrior, or even stronger. If he wants to harm us, there is no need to beat around the bush like this. These things are very precious in our eyes, but in his In my eyes, it may be worthless, so just feel free to use it." Zhao Zheng said, pointing to the delicate body quenching fruit, "Besides, if you don't eat this as soon as possible, it may be damaged in a few days. It will rot away. I ate a body quenching fruit before, and it didn’t cause any serious problems. The effect is very good, so you can eat it without worry."
Shen Luoxia is still a little uneasy, because there are too many doubts in this. How can such a powerful warrior be injured so easily? And why should he bring such a rare body quenching fruit with him?
Zhao Zheng had no choice but to continue persuading, and it took a lot of effort to convince Shen Luoxia to let Shen Luoxia eat the body tempering fruit.
The effect of the body quenching fruit began to take effect, and Shen Luoxia's body began to heat up, and her skin turned red, as if she had a fever. After some sensing, Shen Luoxia confirmed that her body was fine and she felt relieved.
"Sister, I came to you this time. In addition to giving you these things, I also have another thing I want to tell you." Zhao Zhengzheng looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
Shen Luoxia saw the clues, smiled bitterly, raised her hand to stroke Zhao Zheng's black hair, and guessed: "Do you want to leave?" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated. quick!)
