"That kid Ban Xia is thoughtful about everything. Let's do this, Erlang, you better not go out. I'll buy you exam tools, and you can continue reading at home." Mr. Nan said.
"No matter how good Mr. Labor is, it won't take much time. I'll go and come back." Bai Shengming hurriedly stopped him.
The aunt wanted to say that she would go, but she thought that she really didn’t understand this, and it would be a waste of money to buy the wrong one or the wrong one.
Mr. Nan patted Bai Shengming on the shoulder, "We don't need to be polite. Just wait until autumn and you can help me run errands. You can stay at home now, think about the question I just guessed, and write something. I will come back."
need to check."
Bai Shengming saw that Mr. Nan was already being stern and could not hold on any longer. He thanked Mr. Nan and then thought about the question he asked.
The aunt gave the money to Mr. Nan, thanked him again, and sent Mr. Nan out.
On the other side, Ji Li bribed a few gangsters to keep an eye on Mo Baozhai, asking them to beat them up when they saw country people wearing dark blue cloth going to buy examination materials.
"Do you know what scholars use to write?" Ji Li asked quietly.
A gangster understood, "Use your hands, I understand, I understand! That kid is blind and dares to mess with you, sir, let's see how we teach him a lesson."
"Leave the city after the fight and don't come back soon." Ji Li threw a money bag to them and left quickly.
The boy following him asked worriedly: "Sir, what if Bai Shengming doesn't come out to buy examination materials?"
"If you don't buy it now, what should you do if you can't buy it before you go? He is more anxious than us." Ji Li sneered, "He doesn't dare to use the examination tools I put there, but he will feel better if he dares to use them."
"Is it possible that they won't buy from Mo Baozhai?" the boy asked still worried.
Ji Li laughed, "So you are stupid. The other smaller bookstores have long been sold out. The one in Mobaozhai is expensive, but his family is not short of money."
"So that's how it is, the young master is very good at knowing things." The young man praised.
"Let's go have a drink and wait for the good news about Bai Shengming." Ji Li hummed a tune and went to a restaurant, ordering some good wine and food.
Here, Mr. Nan went to Mobaozhai to buy examination materials. When he came out, he was dragged into a nearby alley by a few gangsters. They put a sack on him and gave him a beating.
Mr. Nan had already realized something and said hurriedly: "I have no enmity with you. You have found the wrong person!"
"Whatever you are pretending to be, I'm going to hit you!" Unfortunately, the gangster didn't give Mr. Nan a chance to speak, and beat him again, even specifically picking his right hand to hit.
Mr. Nan passed out from the pain. The gangster saw that it was almost done. He took the money given by Ji Li and quickly left the city to have fun outside.
Just as they were leaving the city, Bai Banxia also entered the city in a carriage. Her eyelids twitched and she felt a little uneasy. She stuck her head out of the car window and asked in a low voice: "Did you let people stare at the house?"
Bar?"
"Don't worry, it's been arranged." Qi Zhen said.
Bai Banxia breathed a sigh of relief. She must have thought too much.
Aunt Li saw that she was worried about her cousin, and said hurriedly: "We have already entered the city, and we are not in a hurry, so we will take you home first."
"There's no need to see us off. You keep walking. We'll get off the car and go back first. It'll be faster." Bai Banxia said.
"Okay, then when you guys are not busy anymore, I will go to your house and sit down." Aunt Li thought that Bai Shengming had to take the exam, and she must wait until after the exam, otherwise going over would be a disturbance.
"good."
Bai Banxia said goodbye to Aunt Li and Uncle Li, got out of the car and walked towards the house with Qi Zhen.
When they returned home, they found the aunt standing at the gate, seemingly waiting for someone, and looking very anxious.
"Auntie, you didn't know we were coming, did you?" Bai Banxia asked in surprise.
The auntie looked happy when she saw them, but now was not the time for small talk, so she hurriedly told her and Qi Zhen what had happened.
"Mr. Nan has been away for a long time. Logically speaking, he should be back. He can't go shopping elsewhere, right?" the aunt said worriedly.
Bai Banxia looked at Qi Zhen, and his expression suddenly changed, "Let's go find him. You lock the door and don't go out."
"Okay, I understand." The aunt heard that things were not simple, so she hurriedly responded, and locked the door as soon as they went out.
Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen quickly walked towards Mo Baozhai.
"No one is going to follow Mr. Nan, right?" Bai Banxia asked.
"Probably not. I only arranged for people to keep an eye on the house. Only if someone breaks in or is detrimental to them will I take action." Qi Zhen said.
Bai Banxia's brows knitted together, "I'm afraid Ji Li has done something dirty again!"
"I was negligent." Qi Zhen looked a little more solemn.
Bai Banxia pulled his sleeve, "No wonder you, it's impossible for everyone to protect him personally. Let's find Mr. Nan first."
The two of them arrived at Mobaozhai and asked the shopkeeper about it. They learned that Mr. Nan had just bought examination materials, and the appearance described by the shopkeeper was exactly the same as Mr. Nan's.
It's just that the person left for a long time, and the shopkeeper didn't pay attention to where he went.
"Look around the area." Qi Zhen said.
The two walked around and soon found Mr. Nan unconscious in a nearby alley.
"Mr. Nan!" Bai Banxia was so angry that she almost broke her teeth when she saw Mr. Nan who was covered in injuries and his right hand had been deformed.
She quickly took Mr. Nan's pulse and checked his physical condition. Fortunately, the internal injuries were not serious, but the right forearm was fractured and he fainted due to too much pain.
"It's nothing serious. I'll treat him first, and you'll have someone report him to the authorities!" Bai Banxia gritted his teeth and said, "We must catch him, I want them to die!"
Qi Zhen's face was also very gloomy. There was no need to send a code signal. Chengfeng and Polang, who were hiding in the dark to protect him, also came over.
"Chengfeng, you go find Yin Shan to report the crime. I don't care what method he uses, he must be caught within twelve hours." Qi Zhen said coldly.
"Yes." Chengfeng didn't dare to talk nonsense and disappeared in a flash.
"Po Lang, go and arrange for someone to keep an eye on Ji Li. Don't let him escape." Qi Zhen said again.
"Yes." Po Lang didn't want to talk nonsense, so he accepted the order and left.
Bai Banxia gave Mr. Nan an injection, and Mr. Nan slowly woke up.
"Panellia, my hand..." Mr. Nan said painfully.
Bai Banxia hurriedly reassured: "Don't worry, I can cure it. Don't move around. We will take you back for treatment first."
But Mr. Nan said, "Don't take me back. If I let Shengming see me like this, it will affect his mood. The exam will start the day after tomorrow, and he can't be affected in any way."
"You were beaten for my brother Erlang, right?" Bai Banxia suddenly thought of the key.
Mr. Nan smiled bitterly, "I'm glad I stopped Shengming and didn't let him go out to buy examination materials, otherwise all our previous efforts would have been in vain."
If Bai Shengming's hand is broken, no matter how superb Bai Banxia's medical skills are, it is impossible to regenerate the broken bone within two days. How can he refer to it and answer the question?
