Chapter 129 Liang Jingyao didn’t come back!
Lying on the hospital bed, Lin Xiaoyue looked at the poisoned Zhan Liang and was deeply conflicted. There were two wounded people in this yard. Should she let Yunyun go storytelling tomorrow?
After a long while, she said, "Yunyun, you can stay here with me tomorrow. There's no need to go to the teahouse to tell stories."
Chen Yunyun knew that Sister Lin was worried about her, but she couldn't hide behind everyone forever. Everyone in this yard, including those in the teahouse, was very useful. She didn't want to be treated preferentially because of Sister Lin. This would not only make others look down on her, but also have a bad impression of Sister Lin.
"Sister Lin, it's okay, I'm not afraid!"
Lin Xiaoyue really didn't want anyone else to get hurt, but she was also afraid that being too forceful would hurt Chen Yunyun's pride, so she thought of a plan and said, "How about this? Brother Liang said he'll be back before dawn. Let's wait for him and see what he says. If the teahouse is fine, then let Brother Liang take you to the storytelling tomorrow. If something goes wrong in the teahouse tonight, then don't go. There are plenty of opportunities, but we only have one life, and I don't want anything to happen to you."
Chen Yunyun felt a lump in her throat. Apart from her parents, only Sister Lin was so sincere and kind to her in this world!
"But, will this really not affect your plan?" Chen Yunyun looked at Lin Xiaoyue hesitantly.
The drunkard, seeing the current situation, disapproved of Chen Yunyun going to the teahouse again and interrupted, "It doesn't matter whether the shadow affects him or not. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no fear of running out of firewood! As long as the teahouse isn't taken away, you will always find a way to make it prosperous. Besides, the first assassin was impersonating Zhan Xiong. To be able to make such a realistic mask, there are only two possibilities. One is that the person is highly skilled, and the other is that he peeled the other person's skin alive. I hope it's not the second possibility!"
After hearing what Jiu Laoguai said, Lin Xiaoyue became even more worried. She didn't know what time it was. Could Brother Liang really come back before dawn?
"Yunyun, Dad is right. Let's wait a little longer! Dad, can Zhan Liang's poison be cured?"
The drunkard bandaged Zhan Liang's arm, stood up, and said, "Okay, I plan to use a medicinal bath to force all the toxins out of his body. Yunyun, it's easy to fall off the stool, so you help me watch Zhan Liang while I go out and boil a bucket of water."
Chen Yunyun nodded and replied, "Okay, uncle, be careful. If the water is too heavy, I will come over and help you lift it."
The old drunkard waved his hand and said, "You don't have to fill the water all at once. I still need to boil various herbs. I can do it by myself."
After a while, the drunkard placed a large wooden barrel in the next room, then took two buckets of hot water and poured it in. Then, he poured in the water boiled from the herbs. Finally, he poured the herbal residue in the medicine jar onto the gauze and tied it with a rope.
After doing all this, the drunkard returned to the pharmacy and said, "Yunyun, I'm going to carry Zhan Liang to the next door to take a medicinal bath. You can support him by the side."
Chen Yunyun knew that the drunkard was old, had stayed up late, and had spent so much energy boiling water and carrying water. Now he had to carry Zhan Liang on his back. If she was not there to support him, the drunkard might lose his strength halfway and not be able to carry him.
"Okay, I'll hold you from behind, be careful!"
Jiu Laoguai and Chen Yunyun walked to the next room one after the other. Because Chen Yunyun was a woman and it was inconvenient, Jiu Laoguai asked Chen Yunyun to go back and rest first. "I can handle the rest by myself. You go back first. You are tired after this night."
Chen Yunyun nodded and said, "Okay. If you need any help, uncle, you can call me anytime."
After Chen Yunyun left the room, the drunkard began to undress Zhan Liang and then put him into a large wooden barrel. Zhan Liang was a martial artist, so the drunkard had to work very hard to put him in.
Because Zhan Liang's arm was injured and he couldn't touch water, the drunkard placed Zhan Liang's hand on a wooden barrel.
Next, the drunken monster took the gauze wrapped with the medicine residue and began to rub Zhan Liang's back. After Zhan Liang soaked for a while, he began to steam all over and his face gradually turned from pale to bloody. The drunken monster took out a bag of silver needles and took out only one silver needle to prick Zhan Liang's body. Black blood flowed out of all the places where he was pierced. Until red blood appeared, the drunken monster took out the silver needle and pierced the next place.
After finishing the last acupuncture point, Jiu Laoguai felt a little exhausted. He held on to the wooden barrel for a while before walking to the chair next to him to lean on and rest.
In fact, the poison in Zhan Liang was quite powerful. After all, the other party came with the purpose of poisoning Liang Jingyao, and it was impossible for him to use a simple poison. However, Zhan Liang was lucky that the old drunkard was there, otherwise he would have died long ago!
The drunkard didn't tell Lin Xiaoyue the truth because he was afraid that she would worry. Anyway, he could save the girl, so it didn't matter whether he told her or not.
About half an hour later, Zhan Liang finally regained consciousness. He saw himself soaking in water after taking off all his clothes. He stood up suddenly, looked around the room, and finally saw the snoring drunkard.
Zhan Liang probably guessed that it was the old drunkard who was healing himself.
Because it was already late at night, Zhan Liang didn't have the heart to wake up the drunkard, so he walked out of the wooden barrel, dried himself, changed into clean clothes, and then found a quilt to cover the drunkard.
Zhan Liang originally wanted to keep watch to protect everyone's safety, but he had just detoxified and was weak. He felt very sleepy after standing outside for a while. Even the cold wind blowing on his face was of no use. Helplessly, he returned to the room and leaned back in a chair, intending to take a nap.
But he slept until the next morning. Lin Xiaoyue and Chen Yunyun in the pharmacy had woken up, and the drunkard had also lit the stove outside.
Zhan Liang walked up to the old wine freak and said, "Thank you!"
The drunkard didn't look up. He was a little tired. If there weren't two patients at home, he would have wanted to sleep all day!
"Breakfast is in the kitchen, go eat it first, and then take your medicine later!" The drunken old monster squinted his eyes and fanned the stove weakly.
Zhan Liang glanced at the closed pharmacy and asked, "Is the master back?"
The old drunkard opened his eyes and said solemnly, "Not yet. Wait a little longer. If he doesn't come back by noon, send someone to the capital to look for him."
Although Zhan Liang was anxious, he could only wait a little longer. Whether he would escape in vain was one thing, but the most important thing was whether there would be another assassin in this yard?
"Well, maybe the boss and Boss Yao will be back by noon! I'll go eat first. Thanks for your hard work, Old Wine Monster!"
Inside the pharmacy, Lin Xiaoyue's frown hadn't loosened from the moment she woke up until she finished breakfast. "Brother Liang clearly said he'd be back before dawn, but now it's already daybreak, why hasn't he come yet? Could something have happened? If only someone could find Brother Liang now, at least they could ask for information!"
Who should I let go? Lin Xiaoyue's mind flashed through the names of the Silver Slash Guards...
