Chapter 89
The Purple-robed Guest was satisfied: "Go ahead."
Shen Jiao knelt down towards the others and turned to leave.
The ghost had run behind her again at some point, his face pale, staring at her.
Shen Jiao said carefully: "Senior, do you have any other instructions?"
He said very seriously: "I like you, can you sleep with me? Please."
"ah?"
"Ignore him!"
The Purple-Robed Guest, the Immortal Guest, and the Edgeless Guest all spoke in unison.
A few snow-white feathers shot down from the roof, forcing the ghost guest to retreat aside.
The purple-robed guest explained somewhat weakly: "We are not that kind of people. Please leave quickly."
It’s true that they are a cult, it’s true that they are bad people, it’s true that they love to kill people, but they are really not that... shameless!
Damn Lian Yong, get out of here!
Zhou Boyan said with an indescribable look, "He asked me too."
Shen Jiao:!
She walked out of the door silently. The ghost guest stood beside Mr. Li, and seemed to be struggling and entangled, but finally made up his mind: "I like you, can you sleep with me, just once."
A roar came from the door: "Ignore him, get back here!"
Lian Yong walked in dejectedly with his head hung low.
Shen Jiao was dumbfounded:
It really is a demonic cult, so terrifying!
She walked away briskly, even looking a little reserved.
Mr. Li was even more shocked, looking like he had seen a ghost. He smoked his pipe all the way with a gloomy face. When Shen Jiao was about to get off the bus, he puffed on his cigarette and asked hesitantly, "Girl... that young man just now... was he asking me... what?"
Shen Jiao nodded: "Yes, that's right."
Mr. Li: "My dear mother!"
He stared again and walked away as if he had seen a ghost, touching his face as he walked, unable to figure out what went wrong.
Yes, I was a very handsome young man when I was young, and I am also a very handsome old man now, but I don’t look like a good match for him, right?
What is going on in the world today?
He didn't even ask whether she was married or not, he just went straight to the bed.
Terrible, so terrible!
It's so scary that no one would believe it if I told them. She's such a beautiful child, what's wrong with her brain?
Mr. Li couldn't figure it out anyway.
Maybe he smoked too much and felt a little sleepy. He shook his head, but his eyelids were still stuck together.
I'm so sleepy.
"Niu Wazi, go home, avoid the potholes and keep an eye on people. I, I want to take a nap."
He lay back with peace of mind and put half a carrot under his head.
I still ate it when I came here this morning.
This month, all the vegetables are available. No one wants last year's radishes, and there aren't many left, so we just keep some for ourselves.
He didn't like them very much, so he kept two and gave the rest to Jin Shuisheng and the others.
Those children are so pitiful.
Fortunately, they were not forgotten. The girl just now promised to find something for them to do in a while.
Mr. Li felt that his work was not in vain and that he would have an explanation when he returned, so he closed his eyes happily.
The old cow, known as Niu Wazi, let out a long "moo" and dragged the cart back home as if it knew the way home.
The weather is nice today, just like usual. The sky is clear, the wind is gentle, the sun is bright but not too hot. It is a cool and nice day.
It's quite suitable for sleeping, he usually sleeps like this.
I don’t know what happened today, maybe it’s because I’m getting old, I felt dizzy after a good night’s sleep.
When he reached the door of his house, he stood up and then plunged headfirst into the ground...
The daughter's voice was in my ears: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Oh no, I fell down, what can I do?
His daughter was young and always made a fuss. He even tried to comfort her with blood all over his head: "Oh, what are you yelling about? I'll just be confused for a moment."
Something warm trickled down my mouth.
It's embarrassing to drool while sleeping at this age. He raised his hand and wiped it again and again: I should go plant two rows of hemp later, plant more, and keep two pieces of cloth for making handkerchiefs after weaving them. I can sell them all and the whole family can use some.
He pondered carefully, his mind was very clear, but the noisy sounds in his ears made him a little irritated. He didn't know who was shouting, were they chatting or what?
He was too embarrassed to argue with the other person, so he raised his hand and said vaguely, "Girl, help Daddy close the door."
The saliva that could not be swallowed got stuck in the throat, making a gurgling sound.
Li Li'niang looked at her father lying in the yard and cried out, "Hey, Dad, go back to sleep later. Someone is coming home..."
Mr. Li said nothing: "Come if you want to. You guys take care of him. He'll be dazed for a while..."
In the Liao'e courtyard.
Shen Jiao asked Qiongzhi, "Where is the young master?"
"He's in the house," Qiongzhi said. "We're going hunting tomorrow, and it's our day off. The young master said he wants to sleep a little longer to avoid being too tired, and he told us not to disturb him. Is there something you want to talk to him about? Should I go and wake him up?"
Qiongzhi was about to leave when Shen Jiao hurriedly pulled her aside, "No need. I just want to ask you one question. Let the young master go back to sleep. Where is Doctor Wei?"
"He's still picking at the pharmacy. I don't know how he convinced those people. Doctor Sun and his men found him a lot of herbs, and he wants all of them. He even came back deaf and dumb to ask if the young master could give him an extra piece of land. The young master actually agreed, which is quite surprising."
What's so strange about it? It's just a matter of asking, you don't have to actually give it.
Xue Shun was just waiting for Shen Jiao to agree before he could drive Wei Qian away.
Maybe I'm still a little reluctant.
Then don't rush.
"Let's just keep him here."
Hearing this upon waking up, Xue Shun looked at Shen Jiao in surprise: "Didn't you say he was a nuisance and you didn't want to keep him? Why did you change your mind? What happened?"
Shen Jiao said worriedly, "The bounty over there still stands. Even though it's a lot lower, there's no guarantee someone won't be tempted. If we really chase him away, he might die. Wouldn't that be a sin? It would be better to keep him for now and let him continue to take care of you. When you go hunting this time, you can ask the owner and his wife if this is feasible."
"Is it necessary?" Xue Shun frowned and asked, "Father and Mother already knew his identity, right?"
"Knowing it tacitly is just knowing. Only when you have said it can it be said that you have made it clear and truly accepted him into your fold. The Sixth Young Master has already left the ancestral hall, and it is inevitable that they will meet this time. If you do not do this, there is no guarantee that he will still be thinking about Doctor Wei."
Xue Shun didn't really want to protect Wei Qian, and he didn't want to go against Xue Lang, but Shen Jiao was kind and wanted to do it for his own good, so he agreed and said:
"You should rest early today and go with me tomorrow, otherwise it will be boring for me to go alone."
"Don't worry, sir. I will always be by your side."
Of course Shen Jiao had to go. Even if Xue Shun didn't tell her, she would have followed him there anyway. There was no place safer than being with these people.
Even if the Five Guests of Huangmei had extraordinary abilities, it would be impossible for them to break into the young master of Tongcai Villa and kill him.
As long as she doesn't leave Xue Shun, she will be safe.
As for whether it is poison or Gu, there is no need to worry.
Shen Jiao touched the black string of amber beads around her neck.
If you want to use her, you have to consider whether your bargaining chips are strong enough.
Wouldn’t it be good for her to get more than a dozen ships full of treasures into her own hands?
Why give it to the Demon Cult for nothing?
People have no choice but to bow their heads, but there is no need to do so now.
Let her think about what to do...
If you can't handle the business yourself, you have to find some good helpers.
Life is not something you can play with.
