Around noon, Erhu was planning to go to the backyard to eat when he suddenly heard someone calling him upstairs.
Erhu looked up and saw Chai Yan standing by the railing on the second floor, waving to him.
Erhu couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart, wondering if he had discovered the beating last night?
No, the whole process last night was perfect. That girl Xiaokui was completely blinded, and it was impossible to see her own face.
And if you had seen it, you wouldn't have waited until now to trouble me. You would have complained early in the morning!
Erhu was an old man, so he did not lose his composure, but quickly put a smile on his lips and trotted upstairs.
"What are your orders, Mr. Chai?" Erhu nodded and bowed with a diligent look on his face. There was no problem at all on the surface.
Chai Yan sneered in his heart, haha, he is so calm and composed...
Chai Yan deliberately said in a consultative tone: "Erhu, I want to trouble you with something..."
"Master Chai, please speak." Erhu asked.
Chai Yan then said: "Can you help me go to a nearby medical clinic and buy some medicine for bruises and injuries..."
When Erhu heard what was going on, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course Erhu knew who he was buying medicine for, but he still pretended not to know and asked: "Master Chai, did you fall somewhere? Is it okay?"
While talking, Erhu looked nervously at Chai Yan.
"It's not me, it's Xiaokui..." Chai Yan sighed: "Oh, this girl Xiaokui was too careless. She fell down last night and got such a big bite on her face.
There was bleeding... I thought the little girl wouldn't be disfigured because of this, so I'd better buy some medicine and come back and wipe it for her..."
Erhu started to laugh secretly when he heard it: You idiot, I was the one who injured this person, and you actually asked me to buy her medicine. It’s really...hahaha...
I wanted to think about it, but the Erhu showed no flaws at all, and even complimented me repeatedly: "Oh my, Mr. Chai is so kind. That girl Xiaokui is really lucky to be able to follow a good man like Mr. Chai in her previous life!"
Chai Yan smiled and shook his head, saying a few words of modesty.
Erhu deliberately showed his courtesy and said: "Master Chai, I don't know whether Xiaokui's fall is serious or not... How about you think this is a good idea? I might as well go and invite the doctor over. It's always better to see clearly in person."
Yes..."
Chai Yan immediately clapped his hands and nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, it would be more appropriate for you to call the doctor... Erhu, you are still smarter..."
With that said, Chai Yan took out a silver coin and handed it to Erhu: "Thank you for your hard work, Erhu..."
"It's not hard, it's not hard. I'm happy and willing to run errands for a kind person like Mr. Chai!"
After Erhu finished speaking, he went downstairs and stumbled out of the Yiren Pavilion.
Looking at the back of the erhu, Chai Yan couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and then turned around and returned to the room.
Erhu thought about going back quickly, so he speeded up and trotted all the way. When he was passing through a small alley, suddenly a thick sack covered Erhu's upper body from head to bottom.
At this moment, everything in front of Erhu's eyes went black. He couldn't see anything and was so frightened that he shouted "Help".
It was okay not to shout, but as soon as I shouted, I was immediately greeted by a rain of fists and kicks, which made the erhu scream.
After a while of beating, a rude voice scolded: "Scream again and I will beat you to death immediately!"
Erhu was so frightened that he shook his body repeatedly and responded: "Don't scream, don't scream, I won't scream anymore, good man, spare your life, I will give you all my money, all of it..."
Erhu thought he was unlucky to be robbed. The public security in the Hulu Street area has always been worrying. Cases of robberies on the street are common, but they are still rare in broad daylight.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Erhu was hit hard on the head, and a rude voice said: "Who the hell wants your dirty money! Erhu, let me tell you the truth, you are in big trouble!"
"Ah? You, you, you... you know me? You, you... who are you?" Erhu was shocked and his tongue was tied uncontrollably.
The next moment, Erhu suddenly understood and shouted: "It's Mr. Chai... You are Mr. Chai's people, right?"
The rude voice did not answer the erhu, but shouted to others: "Take it away!"
As soon as the sound came out, Erhu felt like two people were lifting him up on the left and right, and then dragged him forward without any explanation.
At the same time, I heard the man's instructions behind my ears: "You, go and inform the lord..."
This sentence was undoubtedly an answer to Erhu's words. It was indeed a trap set by Chai.
After a cup of tea, Erhu suddenly felt like he was being thrown out. As soon as he fell to the ground, someone came over and tore off the sack on his upper body.
Erhu quickly took a breath and found that he was in a dilapidated hut with clutter all over it. Judging from the accumulated dust on the ground and clutter, this place must not have been cleaned for a long time.
Erhu looked up and saw three sturdy figures standing in front of him. However, due to the backlight, he couldn't see their faces clearly.
The person at the front smiled "hehe", and after approaching, he slowly squatted down, stared at Erhu's face and said: "Erhu, you are so brave, you dare to touch the lord's girl!"
"Baby...Brother Bao, you, you, you...listen to my explanation..."
Erhu saw that it was Guo Bao from Changsheng Gambling House, and his lips immediately started to tremble.
However, Guo Bao didn't listen to what the erhu continued to say. He stood up and ordered: "Keep playing!"
Before he finished speaking, the two men behind him rushed forward and started punching and kicking the Erhu.
Erhu couldn't help but feel the pain, and started crying again.
"Scream, just shout louder! Even if you shout here for a year and a half, no one will pay attention to you!" Guo Bao stood aside and made sarcastic remarks.
After a while, Erhu was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his nostrils were bleeding continuously. He looked so pitiful.
One of the men was probably tired from the beating, so he stopped and said, "Brother Bao, it's almost done. If you continue to fight, someone will be killed."
Guo Bao nodded and said: "Then let's stop fighting now and wait until the Lord comes over."
Erhu was able to temporarily avoid the pain of his flesh and blood, and just huddled on the ground and shivered.
After waiting for a while, footsteps were heard outside, and then someone knocked on the door and said: "Brother Bao, the Duke has arrived..."
Guo Baomao cheered up and hurried over to open the door in person, greeting him earnestly: "Sire, you are here..."
Erhu heard the sound and took a look. The person standing outside the door was indeed Lord Chai.
