Chapter 121 The First Hug
"Ah! Who is it?"
Before Shopkeeper Qiu could turn around and see who was coming, he had already fallen to the ground without a breath.
Lin Xiaoyue thought it was Shopkeeper Ding's accomplice who came to kill and silence her. She turned her head abruptly, only to see a warm face. In an instant, her heart was in turmoil, and in the end, only one sentence remained, "I'll keep it for you!"
Liang Jingyao hugged Lin Xiaoyue in his arms out of fear. This was the first time he had hugged Lin Xiaoyue, and he had never expected it to be under such circumstances. "Sorry, I'm late!"
Lin Xiaoyue felt the warmest embrace, and her weak body seemed to have found a safe haven. She shook her head and said, "No, I came just in time. It's a pity that you killed Shopkeeper Qiu. This bad guy should have been kept alive and tortured!"
Liang Jingyao felt that he was too angry just now and did not pay attention to the strength of his attack. Manager Qiu is probably dead now.
He turned to look at Zhan Liang and said, "Zhan Liang, go check if Shopkeeper Qiu is dead. If he's not dead, give him a few more breaths so Yue'er can slowly torture him!"
He raised his head, bent down to feel the breath of Shopkeeper Qiu, and replied, "Master, Shopkeeper Qiu is dead."
Lin Xiaoyue sighed. Although she knew that the person behind the scenes was definitely Emperor Liang, it was a pity to let Manager Qiu die so easily!
"Forget it, just die."
Liang Jingyao picked up Lin Xiaoyue and carried her sideways, comforting her as they walked: "Right now, you need to recover from your injuries. I'll take care of the rest. Don't worry, although Shopkeeper Qiu is dead, his assets are still there. I'll get them all and give them to you. From now on, you'll be the boss behind Zunbao Pavilion, so don't worry about this kind of garbage."
Lin Xiaoyue was a little surprised. Zunbao Pavilion is a place that specializes in collecting treasures from all over the world. It is simply a hot commodity. How could Liang Jingyao say it so easily, as if he could get it easily if he wanted it!
"Brother Liang, how can you say that so easily? Are you the boss behind Zunbao Pavilion?"
Liang Jingyao shook his head and said, "How is that possible? I just saw Yue'er was seriously injured because of the owner of Zunbao Pavilion, so I wanted to help you vent your anger."
Lin Xiaoyue was touched, but there were so many treasures in Zunbao Pavilion and so many people wanted them. Could Brother Liang really get them?
She couldn't help but say with some worry, "Brother Liang, how confident are you in taking Zunbao Pavilion? We're in urgent need of manpower right now, and the Cheetah Army hasn't arrived yet. If Zunbao Pavilion isn't easy to take, let's put it aside for now!"
Liang Jingyao was holding Lin Xiaoyue and couldn't pull his hands away for the time being, so he lowered his head and touched her forehead affectionately, "Silly girl, if I don't avenge you, what kind of man would I be? I will never let you suffer even the slightest injustice! Just sit back and wait to become the behind-the-scenes boss of Zunbao Pavilion!"
Lin Xiaoyue was moved by Liang Jingyao's words, her eyes red, "Thank you, Brother Liang, where are you taking me now?"
Liang Jingyao carried Lin Xiaoyue into the carriage. In the carriage, Liang Jingyao did not let go of her hand. He was extremely nervous, as if he was holding a priceless treasure!
"There's still a dagger stuck in your chest. I'll take you to heal."
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at the dagger stuck in her chest. Whenever she moved, her chest would hurt. If she hadn't taken the medicine in time, and these medicines were imperial medicines from the palace, she would have been hard to say whether she would still be alive!
Sigh! After traveling through time for so long, this is the first time I’ve suffered such a serious injury. I wonder if I can go on stage to tell a story tomorrow?
The carriage twisted and turned in Yangming Town and finally stopped outside an inconspicuous courtyard.
Liang Jingyao carried Lin Xiaoyue down from the carriage, kicked open the gate of the courtyard, and shouted inside as he walked, "Old Wine Monster, come out and save people!"
Just hearing the name Lin Xiaoyue, one feels like a person who is addicted to alcohol. Who could this drunkard be?
A sloppy man walked out of the house, staggering as if he was drunk, with a wine jug on his waist. When he saw Liang Jingyao holding a woman in his arms, his eyes lit up!
"Oh my! You will eventually come to your senses. This girl is really pretty. If the old prince knew about this, he would wake up laughing in his sleep!"
Liang Jingyao glared at the drunkard and said rudely, "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you see Yue'er is injured? Hurry up and save her first!"
The drunkard went up and kicked Liang Jingyao in the butt, complaining with a glare, "What do you think of my place? You send sick and injured people here every few days. I, an old man, originally wanted to live in peace and quiet here, but I end up being your doctor every day, and I have to provide food and shelter! Did you pay me? Humph! I won't save her! Her injury can be cured even at the Jishi Pharmacy down the street!"
Liang Jingyao dodged swiftly and walked directly into the old wine monster's pharmacy. "Old Wine Monster, the medicine here is for curing diseases and saving lives. Stop complaining. I'll get you a few jars of good wine later. When we open a branch of Jueweilou here, won't you have a complete range of wine and food?"
When the old wine freak heard about the fine wine and delicious food, his expression immediately changed. He asked cheerfully, "When will it open? I have no other requests. Three meals a day will be covered by Jueweilou, and every time you deliver food, you must bring good wine!"
Liang Jingyao carefully placed Lin Xiaoyue on the hospital bed and said with a smile, "It's no use telling me about this. Yue'er is the owner of this branch, and she has the final say! So, why don't you hurry up and save her? Otherwise, you won't be able to enjoy the delicious food and wine at Jueweilou!"
The drunkard instantly perked up, pushed Liang Jingyao aside, and stood in front of Lin Xiaoyue, smiling so much that every wrinkle on his face flew up. "Miss Yue'er, do you think this old man and your shop are destined to be together?"
Lin Xiaoyue chuckled. She knew that Liang Jingyao was joking with Jiu Laoguai. Jiu Laoguai had helped Liang Jingyao save so many people. This request was just a drop in the bucket for Liang Jingyao. The reason why Liang Jingyao said this was just to keep a favor for her!
She smiled and said, "Of course we're destined to be together! As the ancients said, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. So, let alone three meals a day, even if you, Old Wine Monster, want to stay in our hotel, I will come and pick you up in person!"
The drunkard was extremely happy and glared at Liang Jingyao with a smug look, "Look at how generous that girl is. I don't want to talk to you! Get out of here now. I'll get the sword for her now."
Liang Jingyao squeezed Lin Xiaoyue's hand tightly and said, "Drunkard is the best doctor. With him healing you, your wounds won't leave scars. I'll wait for you outside."
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry, I believe in the old wine monster!"
This time, the drunkard didn't argue with Liang Jingyao. He was busy preparing the medicinal materials and secret disinfectants needed for the sword and bandage. When he walked to Lin Xiaoyue's bed with a wooden tray, Liang Jingyao was already standing outside the pharmacy.
The drunkard checked the position of the sword and said with emotion: "Girl, you are quite lucky. If the sword was a little off, your life would be in danger!"
