Chapter 7 This person wasn't drugged at all, he was...
Chapter 7
Shen Suining realized she had been tricked and became furious. She broke free from He Hansheng's hand and swung at him, but He Hansheng grabbed her and twisted her behind her back.
With his hands restrained, Shen Suining raised his leg and bent his knee to attack He Hansheng's lower body.
He Hansheng nimbly dodged, which also allowed Shen Suining to break free, and the two started fighting in the room.
A moment later, He Hansheng covered his mouth and groaned, "It's one thing to rob you, but to slap you in the face like that."
Shen Suining quickly retreated, leaning against the wall panting. Looking at He Hansheng's disheveled appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little smug. "Even a rabbit will bite when cornered."
She raised her hand, tossed the few pieces of silver she had snatched from He Hansheng's money bag into the air, and caught them again. "Thanks."
"You," He Han chuckled, "who has this attitude when borrowing money from others?"
"Borrow? You clearly owe me this!"
“Sister Cuihua, you should be reasonable. I paid for all the things you broke at Wanhua Tower and the inn on the outskirts of the city.”
"I'll leave you the antidote," Shen Suining said disdainfully. "Look at you, so tall and strong, but you're so narrow-minded. It wasn't just me who broke the things at Wan Hua Lou. Besides, we left you the guest rooms and the charcoal we got that day. What's wrong with you paying a little more?"
He Hansheng had probably never seen such a shameless person before. He was so choked up that he couldn't speak, and his neck turned completely red.
"Take me to find Song San Niang." He Hansheng stood up.
"On what grounds?"
“Aren’t you short of money? I’ll give you some,” He Hansheng said with a stern face. “Take me there.”
Shen Suining was delighted. Although the process wasn't pleasant, the result was exactly what she wanted.
In some cases, it even exceeded expectations.
With He Hansheng as her walking money bag, Shen Suining straightened her back. She returned to the casino to find Song Sanniang, and with a "thud," placed a silver ingot on the table. "Now can I sit at the table?"
Song San Niang glanced at the silver, then looked at He Hansheng behind Shen Suining, and raised her chin, "Were they originally together, or did you find him at the last minute to fill in?"
Why do you care so much? I've already given you the money.
Shen Suining impatiently reached for the chips, but Song Sanniang blocked her hand again.
“Master Shen is always cheating, I won’t gamble with you,” Song San Niang said in a voice only the two of them could hear, then looked at He Hansheng, “Let him gamble with me, and if he wins, you will naturally get what you want.”
Shen Suining and He Hansheng: "..."
He Hansheng hesitated, "I don't know how to gamble."
Song San Niang was taken aback, then burst into laughter, "Then it seems you won't get what you want tonight."
Shen Suining took a deep breath and pressed He Hansheng down to sit at the gambling table. "You gamble with her, I'll teach you. At worst, we'll both go down together."
As she spoke, Shen Suining briefly explained the rules to He Hansheng.
Six dice, both sides place bets, fifteen points is half a guess of big or small, this is the simplest way to gamble, just open your mouth. After Shen Suining finished speaking, Song Sanniang took the dice cup and sat down opposite her.
Shen Suining stared at her, "You're shaking it yourself?"
"Of course not." Song San Niang snapped her fingers, and the people at the next table immediately came over and took the dice cup.
He Hansheng felt a sense of pressure for no apparent reason.
When I was in the army with my father, I did see the soldiers gambling a little, and I knew a little about the rules, but I never sat at the table myself.
Fortunately, Shen Suining was right next to him. She seemed confident and had probably been around these kinds of places for a long time, which made He Hansheng feel a little more relaxed.
At this moment, a burly man from the casino brought over two jars of wine and poured a bowl for each of them. Song San Niang added, "Gambling is no fun; the loser has to drink as a penalty. The first person to run out of chips or the first person to get drunk is the loser."
He Hansheng's expression changed.
But Shen Suining paid no attention and boasted, "Don't worry, whether it's a card table or a drinking table, once I'm at the table, the word 'los' doesn't exist!"
"..." He Hansheng closed his eyes, feeling somewhat guilty.
As the dice cup rang, He Hansheng instantly became like a puppet sitting on the field, guessing whatever Shen Suining told him to guess, completely losing his own will.
Fortunately, Shen Suining guessed correctly in the first three rounds, which finally gave He Hansheng some confidence.
Having downed three bowls of wine, Song Sanniang was a little unhappy and tapped the table to remind others: "If anyone interrupts again, it will be considered a foul."
He Hansheng: "..." His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.
The dice cup landed on the table again, and Song San Niang, half-supported, asked, "Young master, shall we guess big or small?"
He Hansheng looked at Shen Suining.
However, just as Shen Suining was about to speak, someone covered her mouth and dragged her to the back.
He Hansheng immediately stood up, but Song Sanniang reminded him, "Young master, the bet isn't over yet. Are you going to concede early?"
He Hansheng tightened his grip and looked in Shen Suining's direction.
"Don't worry, that young master is an old friend of mine. I won't hurt her, I'll just make sure she doesn't break the rules," Song San Niang said, seeing He Hansheng's worry. "Young master, guess quickly."
He Hansheng hesitated, looking at the dice cup on the table, and after a moment finally guessed: "Small?"
Song San Niang opened the dice cup; it showed seventeen. She raised her hand, gesturing for He Hansheng to drink, "Please."
He Hansheng took a deep breath, picked up the bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.
Song San Niang clapped her hands and praised, "Young master is so generous!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud thud was heard as He Hansheng's face slammed hard onto the table, and he instantly lost consciousness.
Upon seeing this, Shen Suining was shocked. She immediately broke free from the hand covering her mouth and shouted, then slapped her back. The group started fighting, and the scene instantly descended into chaos.
Song San Niang's expression changed, and she immediately grabbed a gourd from beside the gambling table and splashed it on Shen Sui Ning's face.
"Third Sister, you—"
Shen Suining was incredulous. Before she could even voice her doubts, she fainted and lost consciousness.
...
The two were thrown into the woodshed.
Shen Suining did not completely faint. She had been traveling the martial arts world for many years and would take the antidote in advance before each mission to guard against this. However, the drug that Song Sanniang used on her this time was stronger than the usual sleeping potion. She could not withstand it for a while and only retained a little consciousness.
Both of their hands and feet were tightly bound with ropes. In a daze, Shen Suining realized that she seemed to be leaning against someone. She thought that Song Sanniang was considerate enough not to let her lie face down.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Shen Suining woke up.
She opened her eyes and realized that they were covered by a white silk cloth. There was no lamp lit in the woodshed, and she could not see anything.
Shen Suining laughed in anger. Her hands were tied behind her back, and the effects of the drug hadn't completely worn off, so she couldn't move. She could only call out to He Hansheng, who was pinned to the ground, "Hey, are you awake yet?"
There was absolutely no response.
Shen Suining thought that they must have put drugs in the wine. He Hansheng drank such a big bowl of wine, so the effects of the drugs must have lasted longer than hers.
Although she was somewhat surprised that Song San Niang would set her up, Shen Sui Ning remained very optimistic. She still had the universal antidote that Ji She Tang had given her, which could cure any medicine as long as she took it.
Shen Suining strained to reach it and finally managed to bite out the antidote that was placed in front of her chest.
She tore open the packet with her mouth, put one in her mouth, and soon her body was able to move normally again.
But Shen Suining couldn't break free of the ropes on her own. After thinking for a moment, she tentatively asked He Hansheng, "Isn't something as trivial as touching lips as saving a life?"
He Hansheng's breathing was even; he was still unconscious and therefore unresponsive.
"Not saying anything means you don't mind, okay? Don't come back later and blame me for taking advantage of you after I saved you."
After mentally preparing herself, Shen Suining put a new antidote in her mouth and used her nose to sniff around until she found He Hansheng's lips.
She lowered her head and kissed He Hansheng's lips, her tongue gently parting his lips and teeth, and put the antidote into his mouth.
After the mission was accomplished, Shen Suining continued to lie there, quietly waiting for He Hansheng to wake up. Once he woke up, they could leave.
However, after waiting for an incense stick, then two incense sticks... He Hansheng still didn't wake up, and even started snoring softly, as if he were asleep.
"..." Shen Suining waited patiently for a full half hour, but she couldn't stand it any longer and bit He Hansheng's neck hard.
"Ugh—" He Hansheng cried out in pain, opened his eyes for a moment, and then fell into a deep sleep again.
Shen Suining: "..."
Okay, she understands.
This person wasn't drugged; he was simply drunk.
