Chapter 12: Think long term

The book continues from the previous chapter.

But it was said that after Mr. Xie took the medicine prescribed by Fairy Miaoshou, another two days and two nights passed, and on the morning of the third day, he finally woke up from his coma.

When I woke up, it felt like a lifetime ago.

Before Xie Run passed out, he was still in the headquarters of Yiyong Escort Bureau. Unexpectedly, he closed and opened his eyes and was already in an inn in Anqiu. When he asked the date again, he realized that he was already there.

I was in a coma for nearly ten days.

When Mr. Zuo saw his third brother wake up, he was so excited that he burst into tears and couldn't speak clearly. Others on the side told Xie Run about the many things that had happened these days.

When Xie Run heard this, he was sometimes surprised and moved. After hearing this, he immediately stood up and kowtowed to his second brother. Unfortunately, as soon as he tried hard, he found that he had no strength to sit up at all...

Of course, this is normal.

The power of "Stealing Life" is no joke. Generally speaking, even if a person endures hunger for more than ten days, it is impossible for him to quickly lose weight from a strong man to a skinny man. But those who are haunted by this curse

, but you lose a layer of skin in just one day... Mr. Xie is really lucky to be able to stand up this time. It can only be said that his more than thirty years of training as a boy has not been in vain.

To make a long story short, after the second master Zuo finished crying for a while, he finally thought of business after being reminded by others, so he quickly sent someone to ask Fairy Miaoshou to come for a follow-up consultation, and also asked someone to notify Shuangxie.

However, since it was early in the morning and Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai hadn't gotten up yet, it turned out that Master and Disciple Hu Ning'er and Xin'er arrived first.

Fairy Miaoshou was also considered to have relatively good medical ethics. Although she had already accepted the consultation fee from Yiyong Escort Bureau, she decided to wait until Xie Run woke up before leaving Anqiu to avoid any changes in the past few days.

Now, Hu Ning'er came to see Xie Run's condition, and then prescribed two more prescriptions. She said that she should take the first medicine for the first half month, and then switch to the second medicine after half a month, and at the same time, she would take the first medicine.

She wrote down some things to pay attention to in her diet and daily life, and promised that as long as she followed what she wrote, Xie Run would be back to her original self within two months.

After getting this prescription, Zuo Erye was naturally very grateful to her, and even planned to add some more money, but Hu Ning'er still refused - she was also an old man in the world, and the principle of "charge as much as you do"

, she won’t understand.

In this world of business, if you take less, you are willing to keep it, but if you take too much...you have to be careful, you may have to "pay it back" one day.

Hu Ning'er has been thinking about it these past few days, and she also feels that what happened to Xie Run is not simple. Regardless of whether there is really such "ghost magic" here, she doesn't want to get involved, so she finished this morning.

After the last two doses of medicine, she said goodbye to Second Master Zuo and Third Master Xie on the spot, and left the city without stopping with her apprentice Xin'er.

As soon as they left, Sun and Huang arrived behind.

As you all know, these two guys made a lot of cheap talk as soon as they entered the house. While calling Mr. Xie a brother-in-law, they repeatedly mentioned that they were the main force in saving his life.

Finally, Sun Yixie's words "It's all for the sake of brothers" were used as a conclusion. Basically, it was a unilateral announcement that the Yiyong Escort Agency owed them a huge favor. It would be shameless if they did not repay it in the future.

The key point is that they stood there singing in harmony and finishing the lyrics quite naturally. Mr. Zuo and Mr. Xie are both upright men, so they didn't notice anything was wrong.

On the other hand, the two men standing aside muttered in their hands: "These two young heroes are quite thick-skinned... When we went to invite you just now, you stayed in bed, pooped, washed, and had breakfast...

There was no delay at all, and I didn’t see any of you in a hurry on the way here. It was only in the few steps before entering the house that you two were walking so fast... But after you came in, you were still in such a affectionate state... This chicken

Why do you think the thief is more powerful than us old men in our thirties and forties?"

Of course, they wanted to think about it, but it was still difficult to say this...

In short, after some pleasantries, Sun and Huang were not in a hurry to ask Xie Run for clues. The most urgent task was to let Mr. Xie take a bath first.

Some people may wonder, is this matter so urgent?

Think about it... Back then, it was no different than now. In our modern hospitals, comatose patients can rely on infusions to maintain their lives, and excretion can also be solved with urinary catheters. But in ancient times, like Mr. Xie's situation, only

You can send someone to feed him some rice soup and water on time and in an amount every day, and then he still has to follow the original route for excretion. Every time something "something" comes out, someone has to come and clean it up... After nearly ten days, even if it is done every day

They were changing clothes and scrubbing, so you can imagine the smell.

Now that Third Master Xie is awake, and Fairy Hu has told him before leaving that he can take a bath, so she has to help him get rid of the smell on his body.

Don’t think my book is too long-winded. You’re used to stories like “a certain character was in a coma for several days, refused to eat, drink, or defecate, and then woke up and was able to move around as normal within a few moments.” Occasionally, listen to this long-winded story.

It's okay.

Around noon, several servants helped Mr. Xie finish his bath, carried him to bed, fed him a few mouthfuls of food and drank the medicine. At this time... Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Zuo Dingkun had just returned again

He arrived at Xie Run's room, sent all the other people out, and began to discuss business matters.

Because Miao Yinzi's words paved the way, Xie Run no longer worried about the "industry regulations" of the escort agency, and quickly told him the story of the escort trip and Miao Yinzi's reminder to him.

.

"I didn't expect..." After saying that, Xie Runcai sighed, "Senior Miaoyinzi said at the beginning that the people who would come to ask me after the disaster were you two worthy brothers."

"Harm, let alone you didn't think of it, neither did we." Huang Donglai was thinking about dismissing his master at this moment, thinking that since you had already figured this out and included me in it, I'm afraid.

Is it okay to just ignore it?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As for Sun Yixie, after listening to what Xie Run said, he was silent for a moment, and then asked again: "Brother Xie, what did you just say?"

Say, when you went to the Wujian Villa to escort you, the owner of the village, Xiao Zhun, personally received you?"

"Yes." Xie Run replied.

"Yes." Sun Yixie nodded, "Did he personally hand over the money for this escort to you?"

"Hiss..." Xie Run heard this and thought for a moment, but he really couldn't remember the details of a year ago, "At that time... Master Xiao seemed to be sitting and talking to me, and then... Oh!

Then he called someone out from the back room, and it was that person who handed me the tail silver."

"Oh?" When Sun Yixie heard this, his little eyes suddenly shone, "What kind of person?"

"This..." This question made Xie Run look embarrassed, "...I really can't remember this clearly. I think he is a person who is not very eye-catching, so I just think he is an ordinary servant of Wujian Villa.

He's just a human being and didn't pay attention."

"When he gave you the money, was there anything unusual?" Sun Yixie then asked.

"Abnormal..." Xie Run frowned and recalled again and again, "...No."

"Then what kind of tail silver did you get?" Sun Yixie asked another question.

"Eh?" After hearing this, Xie Run suddenly thought of something, "When you said that, I remembered... The tail silver I received at that time was all packed in a large wooden box with silver ingots.

, there are broken pieces of silver, and bunches of copper coins, in short, there are whole pieces and odd parts... Xiao Zhuang also explained to me that the accountant in their villa has been ill recently and has not been to the bank for a while.

So I couldn't find a large-denomination banknote at the moment, so I had to pay like this, so I don't want to be offended."

"Fuck..." At this moment, Zuo Dingkun couldn't sit still, because he had heard Huang Dong talk about the principle of "stealing life" in advance, so when he heard the word "copper coins" just now, he had already

I came to understand, and when Xie Run finished what he said, Mr. Zuo stood up and cursed, "Well, you Xiao Zhun... They say that Wujian Villa is uncontested and the sword master is unpredictable... No.

To think that you, surnamed Xiao, are such a vicious person, using such despicable methods to harm my third brother! I...I..."

Although Mr. Zuo really wanted to say "I, Zuo Dingkun, will tear you into pieces" at this moment, when the words came to his lips, he found it a bit difficult to say them out.

why?

It's simple - it's difficult.

Zuo Dingkun's martial arts is not bad, he is almost at the level of deputy master of those high-end sects, but compared with Xiao Zhun, a recognized top swordsman in the world... he is probably not good enough.

Don't say that he is not good enough, even if the three heads of their Yiyong Escort Agency join forces, they may not be Xiao Zhun's opponent.

Going a step further, although the Yiyong Escort Bureau is known as the No. 1 Escort Agency in the Central Plains and has a lot of masters in the Escort Bureau, if it has to face the "elite per capita" Wujian Villa... I am afraid it will be a disaster.

"Second Master Zuo, please be patient. This matter needs to be discussed in the long run..." Two seconds later, Sun Yixie seemed to have seen through Zuo Dingkun's thoughts, so he followed suit.

"Well..." Zuo Dingkun also exhaled from his nostrils, suppressed the anger forcibly, and then continued, "What you said makes sense..."

"Second brother, Yi Xie, what are you talking about? What did Master Xiao do?" Xie Run didn't know that his "illness" was caused by a curse at this moment, so he asked with a puzzled look on his face.

asked.

At this time, Huang Donglai told him about the "stealing of life".

Xie Run had already seen demons and strange things when he was at Lanruo Temple. In addition, he had great trust in Sun and Huang, so of course he believed it immediately - now he combined this incident with Mianyinzi's words to recall,

I suddenly felt a sudden realization.

"So..." Xie Run said as he thought, "The reason why Xiao Zhun wants to kill me must be related to the 'thing' I escorted."

"That's right." Zuo Dingkun also added, "He wants to kill people and silence them!" But after saying this, he suddenly thought of something, "Eh? That's not right... Since he wants to kill people and silence them, why did he wait so long?

How long did it take to take action?”

"That's not easy." Huang Donglai continued, "If something happens soon after Brother Xie sends the escort, you will definitely immediately suspect Xiao Zhun."

"Well..." Xie Run thought for a moment and then continued, "But... he doesn't need to wait a whole year, right? As long as he waits three or four months before taking action, no one will think of him."

When he said this, Huang Donglai and Zuo Dingkun were a little confused, but Sun Yixie answered confidently: "Then it's 'too early'."

"Is it still early after such a long time?" Xie Run said.

"My word 'too early'... doesn't mean that the timing is not far enough away from the day when you finish sending escorts, but it means that it was too early compared to 'now'." Sun Yixie said, even speaking in English.

The words just popped out.

"Uh...it's also funny. Brother Yu doesn't understand." Xie Run really didn't understand, in every sense of the word.

Huang Donglai and Zuo Dingkun also looked at Sun Yixie with questioning expressions.

"Brother Xie, think about it...if you were really killed by Xiao Zhun's spell, would the Yiyong Escort Bureau investigate?" Sun Yixie said.

Zuo Dingkun said loudly at that time: "That goes without saying! Even if others don't investigate, Zuo will still investigate to the end! Even if it takes ten or twenty years, as long as I still have the breath, I will definitely find out the truth...

…”

"Okay, okay..." Sun Yixie interrupted, "We all understand what Brother Zuo means, so let me ask again... If Brother Zuo keeps investigating like this, is it possible to find out whether Brother Xie died of '

This is the method of stealing life?"

"It's hard to say..." Huang Donglai continued, "Generally speaking, according to the way people in the martial arts think, they won't investigate this aspect, but if nothing is found, it's just a dead horse.

The mentality of a horse doctor..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Then you say..." Sun Yixie interrupted Huang Donglai again, "With Master Xiao's calculating character, will he be wary of this situation?

?”

"Huh..." Huang Donglai now followed Sun Yixie's train of thought, "If you want to put it this way...the detail of the surname Xiao is a bit good. No matter whether Brother Zuo can do that, but in Xiao's case

I must be on guard against this move in my mind."

Sun Yixie nodded and continued: "So, from his perspective, if he takes action too early, might it lead to others finding out about him before he implements his 'big plan'?"

"So... if he chooses to take action now, doesn't it mean that his 'big plan' is about to start, or has already started?" Huang Donglai continued.

"That's right." Sun Yixie narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It's very possible."

The two of them were on the same page, but Zuo Dingkun and Xie Run hadn't caught up yet. They were stunned for a while, and then Zuo Dingkun asked: "Two worthy brothers, what's the big plan you're talking about?"

'What's going on?"

Hearing this, Sun and Huang exchanged glances, and then Sun Yixie told what he had extracted from Kang Haijiao's mouth three months ago, about Xiao Zhun collecting swordsmen's blood and swords.

When Mr. Zuo and Mr. Xie heard this strange thing, and combined with the fact that someone under Xiao Zhun might use "demon magic"... they felt their scalps go numb at that time, because it was hard for them to imagine what Xiao Zhun actually was.

What are you doing...

"Two worthy brothers, this matter is no small matter..." Zuo Dingkun said seriously, "According to what you said, what Xiao Zhun is doing is probably a major event that can shake the entire martial arts world. Otherwise, he wouldn't just do it for precautions."

If anything happens, I dare to attack the third boss of our Yiyong Escort Agency."

"Yes..." Xie Runye answered nervously, "In my opinion, now is no longer the time to seek personal revenge for a certain Xie person. We must immediately distribute martial arts posts widely and inform everyone of Xiao Zhun's conspiracy...

"

"Harm~" Before Xie Run could finish his words, Sun Yixie turned his head to the sky and sneered, "Show me a hair..." One of his mantras also blurted out, "We don't have any evidence at hand, we just rely on the four of us.

I'm just talking about a story about the 'Ming-stealing Yu' and the 'Blood Sword', and I want Quan Wulin to help us kill Xiao Zhun?" He paused, "This kind of approach will not only fail to work.

If it’s something, I’d still be able to alert the snake…”

"What do you mean, Brother Sun?" Huang Donglai knew that Sun Yixie had already made up his mind, so he followed the trend and asked.

"Didn't I say, let's think about it in the long term..." Sun Yixie said, "Since we have deduced that Brother Xie's curse is a signal to start Xiao Zhun's plan, then Xiao Zhun will definitely take action soon.

...And his actions must be related to the thing that Brother Xie escorted, and it is still public... We should make good use of our existing advantages, wait and see, and lure the snake out of the hole, so that we can take the lead..."

"Oh~" Huang Donglai shook his head and responded, and continued to ask the question that Xie and Zuo also wanted to ask, "Then how should we do it specifically?"
