"Sir, what does your family do? I see that you have a very extraordinary demeanor." The man asked again.
Zhao Chengqian: "Business."
"My master owns a whole street of shops in Bian Jing. He has businesses all over the city, and his shops are spread across various counties and prefectures. You know Zuixianlou in Bian Jing, right? That's the shop opened by my master." Song Zhou seized the opportunity and started bragging.
A golden glint flashed in the man's eyes, unable to conceal his excitement. "No wonder. I see that although your attire is simple, it can't hide your nobleness."
"Hey, the market is not good now. If it were a few years ago, Your Majesty would have given my master some face." Song Zhou said.
Zhao Chengqian glanced at him, as if blaming him for daring to say that.
Song Zhou smiled guiltily, "Anyway, you just need to know that our master is not an ordinary person."
"That's natural."
"Young Master, you go and rest first. Doctor Song and I will stay here to keep watch." Ying Qi took a sip of water, put the bowl on the stove, and spoke.
Song Zhou added a little of his own hidden tea leaves to the tea, mixed it well, took a sip, and savored it carefully.
"Ping'er, go and see the young master off."
The man urged the boy beside him.
The boy got up from the ground, found a tinder from the stove, blew out sparks, and lit the road ahead. There was no wind tonight and the snow outside was bright, so he could see the road ahead without a lamp.
Zhao Chengqian was walking behind. The child in front of him was a head smaller than him, wearing thin clothes and shivering.
"Squeak" he pushed open the door in front.
The boy stared at Zhao Chengqian, hesitant to speak, "You...you go in quickly."
When Zhao Chengqian closed the door, he reached in with a hand, "Do you have anything else to say?"
"You..." The boy looked at him timidly and pulled his hand back.
"Be careful." He said this and ran away quickly.
Zhao Chengqian looked at his disappearing figure, wondering what was going on in his mind.
"Gan'er, it's cold outside, come inside quickly."
It was late at night and everything was quiet outside.
Only the kitchen was still brightly lit.
Song Zhou narrowed his eyes and stared at the stove. His eyelids grew heavier the more he stared at it. "Ying Qi, are you sleepy?"
Yingqi ignored him and looked at the stove.
"Doctor Song, you must be sleepy. I have made a straw bed next to you. Why don't you lie down for a while?" The man helped Song Zhou up and took him to the meadow laid by the window.
"Hey! Why are there two of you, Yingqi?" Song Zhou tried to grab Yingqi as if he was drunk. His head was dizzy and his body was swaying from side to side.
With a "bang", he fell to the ground and fell asleep.
"It seems that Doctor Song was too tired from traveling these days and fell asleep so soon." The man turned his head and glanced at Ying Qi, and explained as if to cover up something.
Ying Qi over there said nothing and continued to sit there. The man was worried. While talking, he walked over tentatively and said, "Hey little brother, do you want to rest for a while?"
Yingqi still didn't move, so he took the courage to pat Yingqi.
"Bang!" Ying Qi fell sideways on the stool.
The man looked nervously and found that Yingqi had his eyes closed, and he felt relieved.
"I say, how can one packet of medicine be enough?"
"What are you still standing there for? Go open the door." The man glared at the boy and said unhappily.
As soon as the boy opened the yard door, he saw three men standing at the door with two long knives on their waists. One of them raised his foot and kicked him in the chest.
"Why are you so slow? We almost froze to death."
The boy fell on the snow pile, holding his chest, lowering his head and not daring to speak.
The man with a red rope tied around his waist grabbed him by the collar and said, "You kid, you're itching to be spanked for a day, right? If you weren't still useful, I would have roasted and eaten you long ago."
"Pa pa!" He slapped the boy twice before leaving him behind.
The man tugged at the red rope around his waist and glanced at the two people who had fainted in the kitchen. "Cripple, what are you doing? You're not talking about rich people. There are only a few of them. Do you really need to call your brothers?"
"Brother Shui, they cooked a big bowl of rice porridge as soon as they arrived. They must have food, and there is also a horse. I asked around, and they are from Bian Jing. They are engaged in business, and they are very wealthy in our Dagan. Why should we worry about arresting them?"
"But we have to kill these two men first, especially this man. He is most likely a martial artist, so that he won't resist." The lame man didn't dare to kick Ying Qi, so he kicked Doctor Song and pointed at Ying Qi.
"That's easy." The man took off the knife from his waist and walked over. When the knife was about to be placed on Yingqi's neck, Yingqi suddenly opened his eyes, kicked the man in the stomach, and kicked him against the door.
Seeing this, the others immediately rushed over, "So you've been pretending to be unconscious. How dare you hit our boss? We're going to kill you today!"
Ying Qi pulled out the sword that fell on the ground and fought with the three people.
The three men were no match for Ying Qi at all. One of them was a cripple. One of them was stabbed in the abdomen and the other was chopped on the arm. While the crippled men were holding Ying Qi, they swung their knives to chop Ying Qi, but Ying Qi turned sideways and only the back of his hand was scratched. He was then kicked out and fell to the ground unconscious.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the lame man wanted to run away, but Yingqi hit him in the chest with a sword. He wanted to fight back with a knife, but Yingqi swung the sword away and cut his neck.
Seeing that something was wrong, Red Belt ran out in a hurry. Seeing that the other room was closed, he quickly kicked the door open and stabbed the sharp knife at his waist in the dark. After seeing the child in front of him clearly, he kicked Zhao Chengqian in the stomach.
"Damn it, you little brat dared to hurt me!"
