Du Wanwan, a military doctor, overworked herself to death. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself branded a 'calamity star'—hated by everyone, facing a forced exodus, and expel...
Chapter 316 Zhong Yuan! Be careful
His former colleagues now avoid him when they see him. He is well aware of the fickle nature of the world.
Don't blame others for being heartless and ungrateful, just blame your own bad luck.
My second sister-in-law is just a show-off. She is only good at talking but when it comes to really using her brain to think of ways to make money, she can't think of anything and doesn't know how to do anything.
Fortunately, she had a good family, who had helped her a lot these days. But he and his wife couldn't ask for money from others. Even if the Yue family wanted to help them, they had to take the initiative to send it.
He couldn't bring himself to ask his wife to go back and cry poor and beg for money.
How about going to the bookstore tomorrow to find some books to copy? But that job is not easy. It is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also requires a lot of effort on the eyes. The money earned is also slow.
Du Wanwan went home, had lunch, rested for a while, went to Liu Sanqian's house to give him acupuncture, and then returned to the shop.
I have to say that the people Liu Sanqian hired work very quickly. The medicine cabinets and other things are basically in order. They will just need to do some finishing touches and cleaning tomorrow and be able to open for business.
I don't know where he found this old medicine cabinet, but it fits perfectly in the shop. An old medicine cabinet is better than a new one.
Liu Sanqian obviously asked someone before buying it, which shows how much care he put into it.
Mouse Six and Black Cat Three had already told her that the old lady of the Ye family had killed the original wife of the old Marquis of Pingyang, Wan. Du Wanwan did not react at all. She kept the matter to herself and did not tell anyone.
It happened too long ago, and it is difficult to collect witnesses and evidence, so it would be difficult to use this to cause trouble for the old lady.
Just wait patiently for her to hire someone to kill someone!
As long as she dared to move, she would catch her personally, send her to jail, and avenge Ye Tingxiao's grandmother.
There is also the matter of Zhang Yixiang. She also asked Lao Shuliu's people to keep an eye on her and report to her immediately if there is any sign of trouble.
Aunt Hua and Xiao Qi acted as messengers to deliver messages, flying around the capital every day. Bat Four also led a group of people, and every night, he would lead his people to Du Wanwan's house.
It lives under the eaves and trees, protecting the safety of the whole family.
She didn't find the poisonous scorpion, and she didn't dare to find it, for fear of accidentally hurting her family. After all, her son was too young and would be naughty in the future. If something happened accidentally, she was afraid that she would regret it.
Dealing with bad guys is important, but the safety of the family is more important. She works so hard just to make her family live a good life, not to bring them danger.
As for Ye Tingxiao, Ye Zhenghai, and Ye Tingfeng, they were almost at their destination. They had been safe along the way and had not encountered any men in black, so they thought everything was fine and relaxed their vigilance.
Under the night sky, in the ice and snow, a courtyard stood alone between the snow-covered mountains. This was a place that the officials and the father and son of the Ye family had found, and they planned to rest here tonight.
No one knew who built this yard, but many things inside were still usable. The officials cooked dinner, ate it, huddled up in a pit, shivering, and lay down to rest.
Ye Tingxiao, his father and his younger brother Ye Tingfeng also got some food to fill their stomachs.
Then he walked out of the door, came to the courtyard, and stared at the night sky in a daze.
I don’t know whether Wanwan and her mother have arrived in the capital, whether they are safe on the journey, and whether they have found a place to stay after arriving in the capital.
Is Wanwan's People's Clinic open yet? Are there any patients coming to see her? Is there anyone causing trouble for her?
He was lost in his thoughts alone, the lights in the courtyard flickered, making the courtyard look particularly desolate.
Suddenly, a group of men in black jumped out of the snow and surrounded the courtyard.
The black-clad man at the head had a black veil on his face, making it impossible to see his features. He was agile, holding a long sword, with the tip of the sword pointing at the entrance to the courtyard.
Yetingxiao, Ye Zhenghai and Yetingfeng had already sensed the approaching danger.
"Du Xiaoer! You and your people stay with me." Ye Tingfeng doesn't know martial arts, and Du Xiaoer is his life-saving talisman.
It has saved him twice, and I believe it can protect himself this time as well.
Ye Tingxiao's face was gloomy. Holding a long sword, he walked out of the courtyard without hesitation.
"Who are you? How dare you come to cause trouble?" His voice was full of dignity and calmness. "Isn't it that the two groups that came before were killed without making any noise?"
"We are the Sword of Darkness, and we are here to take the lives of you and your two sons!" the leader of the men in black replied coldly.
"The sword of darkness?"
Ye Tingxiao's heart tightened. He knew that this was the most mysterious organization in the world, mainly engaged in assassinations.
Who thought so highly of them? Who actually spent a lot of money to invite them? The King of Qi?
He braced himself and went to meet the leader of the men in black.
The two men's swords crossed, back and forth.
With his rich experience and superb swordsmanship, Ye Tingxiao gradually gained the upper hand. However, the leader of the men in black showed no sign of weakness. He was agile and fierce in swordsmanship, and was obviously a master.
In the fierce battle, Ye Zhenghai also joined in. He jumped up, rolled in the air, and the weapon in his hand stabbed at the leader of the men in black like a spirit snake.
His joining made the leader of the men in black feel more pressured and had to distract himself to deal with the situation. Ye Tingxiao seized this opportunity and stabbed the leader of the men in black in the chest with a sword.
The leader of the men in black was unable to dodge and could only block with his sword.
When the swords collided, a sly smile suddenly flashed across his face. It turned out that this block was just to cover up his attack. His sword had actually pierced into Ye Tingxiao's heart.
"Jong-Won! Be careful!"
Ye Zhenghai's roar was filled with panic, despair and sorrow, and his heart sank. The black-clad leader's moves were strange and the angles were tricky, making it impossible to avoid them.
This time, his eldest son is likely to be in great danger.
The leader of the men in black also felt that he could pierce Ye Tingxiao through with this sword. Originally, he seldom went out to attack, but the father and son of the Ye family broke his habit.
The two groups of people in front of him were all dead, and the Dark Sword lost most of its vitality. He led the team here in anger. He followed and observed for a long time before deciding to take action here.
He hasn't met such a strong opponent in many years. It's a pity that he is the one on his must-kill list. If he can recruit subordinates, the Sword of Darkness will be more powerful.
Just when he thought he was about to succeed, Ye Tingxiao's figure moved quickly close to the ground in a more tricky position.
His sword brushed past his clothes, and before he could react with fear, he heard a "puff" sound in his ear, and his back felt cold, with the tip of a sword shining on his chest.
Then, the bright red blood gushed forward and fell on the snow, like a bunch of blooming red plums.
"Commander!"
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
“Brother!”
He heard a few screams in his ears, his eyes blurred, he felt all the strength gone, he staggered and fell to his knees.
Ye Tingxiao took the opportunity to draw back the sword in his hand, and blood dripped from the tip of the sword onto the snow beside him.
“Tick! Tick! Tick! …”
Each sound was like a death knell, ringing in the ears of the leader of the men in black.
