Chapter 170
Ancient Hero: I don't know who asked this question, but... when we're not chasing people, we ride in a carriage. Only a fool would waste his internal energy on unnecessary rushing.
Bei Qiao hurried to log off. After asking the waiter, he immediately carried his luggage in one hand and his own in the other, using his Qinggong skills to rush to the inn. Yuanshan Village had welcomed some newcomers today, and as Bei Qiao made his way, he would occasionally see unfamiliar children looking at him eagerly. Their eyes, like those of his own childhood when he first saw a martial arts film, were sparkling and filled with longing.
Of course, there's no slow-motion shot of them passing each other with their eyes. This isn't a martial arts film; kids aren't going to chase after Bei Qiao and ask to be his apprentice, and Bei Qiao isn't going to suddenly ask, "Young man, you have good aptitude, would you like to learn martial arts?"
Bei Qiao flew across the night sky, carrying the person and the package, and landed steadily outside the inn. At the same time, a stranger broke through the door and rushed out of the inn, almost colliding with the waiter who was left by Bei Qiao.
"What the hell!" The frightened waiter reflexively grabbed the package in his arms and swung it over.
"Stop!" Aunt Ding rushed out of the house, holding her red tassel spear. The next second, the stranger hit by the package flew backwards, passing right beside her and hitting the door behind her. After suffering a second attack, the poor door finally cracked.
"Aunt, good evening." Bei Qiao nodded to Aunt Ding.
"Oh, is Qiao Qiao here? Thank you for taking Xiao Er away." Aunt Ding used her foot to turn the person who had slid down the door panel to the ground over: "Dizzy"
"Ah!" The waiter who finally reacted quickly ran over and picked up the package that had rolled to the ground: "It's over, it's over, the snack must be broken..." Not to mention the errand fee, this is a huge loss!
"Why worry? He'll pay even if it breaks." Aunt Ding picked up the collapsed person and said, "Just take it out of his arms. Don't take too much, or you'll get into trouble."
"Oh, is this okay? It's not too bad." The waiter pulled his sleeves embarrassedly, but he was not slow at all in taking out the man's wallet: "So what did he do?" Since Aunt Ding said it was okay, it meant that the man had already taken action first. At most, he was fighting back and recovering the loss at the same time.
"Not only did he dine and rob you, but he also sent you out to buy things just to rob the inn." Aunt Ding walked to the window, picked up the handkerchief that was there and wiped the red tasseled spear: "I can only say that this kid has run into the muzzle of the gun. He really thinks that old people are easy to bully."
"Is that so? No wonder he wants so many things and they are so diverse, and he insists that we go further away to buy them." The waiter put the extra money back into the purse and stuffed it into the man's arms along with the package.
Seeing that Aunt Ding had the situation under complete control, Bei Qiao said goodbye and left. Before leaving, the waiter stuffed a bag of snacks into his pocket, saying that it could be fed to the AI dog at home. After eating it, the dog's fur would become smoother and very nice to touch.
Back home, Bei Qiao encountered a local who knocked on the door and asked if he wanted to take the order. After sending a private message to Li Qingqing and Zhong Tian, Bei Qiao handed the person over to Zhong Tian, who happened to be free, closed the door, and prepared to go back to the backyard to log off.
"Hey, young man, where is the doctor in your village?" Seeing Beiqiao closing the shop, a foreign native with an anxious expression ran over from the other end of the street, waving his hands.
"Over there." Bei Qiao pointed in a direction and closed the door neatly without waiting for the other party to continue speaking.
"Hey, hey, hey..." The native, who originally had other purposes, knocked on the door and shouted twice. Seeing that Bei Qiao ignored him, he hurried away: "Damn, who is this? Aren't people in this village said to be simple and kind-hearted?"
Bei Qiao, who stood behind the door without saying a word, said: This doesn't sound like a compliment.
The native who knocked on the door but got no response went to knock on Yu Qian's door across the street. Because the knocking was too loud and fierce, Yu Qian was frightened and huddled in the room, holding a porcelain pillow and sending a message to Bei Qiao.
Yu Qian: Qiao Qiao, help! It seems like a stranger is tapping on my front door! I'm so scared!
Qiao Qiao: It's not like someone is knocking, it's just someone is knocking. Don't be afraid, as long as you don't open the door, there's no danger for the time being.
Yu Qian: What?
Qiao Qiao: He also came to knock on my door and asked me where to find a doctor. I had already told him.
Yu Qian: Huh? So he wants to ask me for help? Do I need to find someone to help him?
Qiao Qiao: No need. I saw the patrol coming. Just let them help. Don’t go out.
Yu Qian: Yes.
With Bei Qiao's comfort, Yu Qian's emotions stabilized a little. But she still didn't dare to go out and open the door, because she was afraid that the person knocking on the door would break in and hurt her.
When the knocking on the door died down, Yu Qian hesitantly put down the porcelain pillow, stood up, walked to the door, and listened. There were few people on the street outside, so Yu Qian could clearly hear the patrol passing by the door.
Yu Qian: Qiao Qiao, the person outside seems to have stopped knocking on the door. Did they go to ask the patrol team for help?
Bei Qiao: No, he's hiding. You hide in the house and don't come out.
Bei Qiao found that the man's first reaction when he saw the patrol was to hide. He frowned and went back to the backyard, picked up a few clods of earth, and climbed over the wall above the side door. When the patrol was about to leave the street, he used his internal force to throw the clods of earth near the man, then quickly climbed back into the yard and went to the front to continue observing the situation outside through the crack in the door.
Hearing the sound of falling dirt, the patrol looked in the direction of the sound. The constable at the end of the team broke away to investigate. The native, whose whereabouts had been exposed, cursed silently, crouched low, held his breath, and remained motionless.
"What have you discovered?"
"No, just some broken pieces of earth, probably fallen from the eaves."
Finding nothing unusual, the detectives continued their patrol. Bei Qiao continued to watch from inside the house through the crack in the door. After the detectives left, the native emerged from his hiding place and continued knocking on Yu Qian's door. This time, he knocked with increasing force and anxiety, even using his feet. He seemed determined to break the door down, his other hand tearing open his shirt, his expression ferocious.
That look, that expression, tsk... Bei Qiao sent a private message to Qi Zhi, went back to the house, got a bunch of peppers, opened the door, ran to Yu Qian's door, stuffed the peppers into the native's mouth, and with the other hand pinched his chin and pulled, with a click, the native's jaw was dislocated.
Done, this way you shouldn't spit out the peppers... Bei Qiao clapped his hands in satisfaction and stomped the man to the ground: It's a bit noisy, otherwise I'll also dislocate the joints of the limbs.
"Qiao Qiao, is that you..." Yu Qian, who heard the noise, trembled and came out of the house holding a porcelain pillow. She hesitated for a long time at the gate of the courtyard, but finally did not have the courage to open the door: Qiao Qiao said not to let me go out, so I should not go out. Oh my God, it looks like the bearings are about to break. How much strength did this person use?
"It's me. I haven't finished yet. Don't come out yet." Bei Qiao stepped on the person's right foot and crushed it hard. "Tsk, you still won't give up?" With so many players in the Novice Village, they were able to accurately find Yu Qian, the least skilled. I don't believe there's something fishy going on.
No one knew what this native from another village was thinking. He just stiffened his neck and said nothing, trying hard to move towards Yu Qian.
A few minutes later, Qi Zhi, who had received the private message, rushed over with her medicine box on her back, followed by a few strangers she had met on the road. These people were not ill, and they were not there to see a doctor. However, one of them had a basic understanding of pharmacology and understood the efficacy of the medicine Qi Zhi had just prescribed. He accidentally let it slip, and so...
Other outsiders: Wow, they are actually preparing the antidote for that medicine. The scene must be very exciting. I must go and see it... No, I want to go and help!
"Qiao Qiao, I'm not too late, am I?" Qi Zhi put down the medicine box, took out a silver needle and pierced the stranger who was stepped on the ground by Bei Qiao. The latter didn't move on the spot, only his eyes were rolling around in fear.
"No, I haven't made up my mind to make him settle down completely. These people are..." Bei Qiao retracted his right foot: You are lucky, kid, Qi Zhi's lightness skills are also pretty good, and he can travel very fast.
"They're here to watch the fun." Qi Zhi put down the medicine box and gently knocked on Yu Qian's door: "Qianqian, can I borrow your stove? I want to make some medicine."
"Okay!" Yu Qian breathed a sigh of relief and stumbled back, holding the porcelain pillow. "I was so scared before, now I can finally go out and see what happened. I have to bring a lantern to take a closer look, and if I get into danger, I can throw the lantern as a weapon!"
"Just watch the fun." Bei Qiao raised his eyebrows and looked at the crowd of onlookers: Whatever, as long as they are not accomplices and don't take advantage of the chaos to rob, I don't care.
The onlookers who were stared at by Bei Qiao laughed dryly: Ah, well, although this is not the excitement we want to see, but since we are here, right?
"What did he eat?" Qi Zhi put on gloves and pried open the man's mouth to observe him.
"I stuffed that with chili peppers. Seeing how anxious he was, I figured he was taking some Chinese medicine, so I just wanted to help him out. Spicy hot pot helps dissipate heat, right?"
Are you sure about "hot pot"?
"It was an emergency. Qianqian's door was nearly broken down by him. There was no time to boil water for hot pot, so I went all out and served it spicy." Bei Qiao smiled. "There's no need to be too gentle with an attempted criminal. Just stop the crime. The attempted criminal's experience is unimportant."
"Doctor, is this... this... the right medicine?" The strangers came from all corners of the country, and at least none of those who had followed Qi Zhi to watch the excitement knew the man lying on the ground. It was just that the man's red-eyed, frantic knocking on the door hadn't been seen by anyone else, so while the onlookers kept silent, they still harbored some doubts about Bei Qiao's behavior.
"Theoretically speaking, it's quite effective. It's true that Xin is mainly responsible for dispersing the pathogenic factors." Qi Zhi shrugged.
