Chapter 77: Cause and Effect of Two Lives
The carriage moved farther and farther away.
Song Jin looked dazed.
"Dalang's wife, what are you still daydreaming about? Come into the house quickly." Xiao Liu was surprisingly nice to Song Jin, mainly because this niece-in-law was very generous.
Song Jin smiled and nodded, then turned and walked into the house.
Song Xiu stood in front of Song Jin's house without knowing when, "Are you sad, sister?"
"What do you want to do again?"
Song Jin looked at Song Xiu coldly.
Song Xiu pursed her lips and smiled gloatingly, "I have been waiting for this day since the day of the marriage."
"Really? Then I will send your IOU to Chunguiyuan, the largest brothel in Yi County tomorrow. Are you satisfied?" Song Jin's expression was cold and indifferent, with a malice rarely seen in Song Xiu.
"You're crazy! I'm a scholar's wife now!"
Song Xiu screamed.
It instantly attracted other members of the Qin family.
"What's the matter?"
"What the hell is aunt screaming about?"
"Why did the fourth daughter-in-law scream in fright?"
Someone looked over here and saw that the two sisters were arguing again. Qin Lao Da and others, who were used to it, knew how to avoid it, but that was not the case with little Liu.
Those gossipy eyes seemed to be staring at this side.
Song Xiu's lost sanity suddenly returned.
Seeing Song Jin's serious look, Song Xiu wondered if Qin Chi's impending death had stimulated her, "I'll return the money to you later!"
"That depends on whether I agree or not."
"I don't care whether you agree or not, I gave you the money, so you have to return the IOU to me!"
At first, Song Xiu didn't want to write the IOU at all.
Song Jin coerced him to write it, and he got carried away with pride and provoked Song Jin. Now Song Xiu regrets it so much!
I shouldn’t have come if I had known.
Song Xiu returned to the house and quickly took out a thousand taels of silver.
When Song Xiu first left the Song family, she had silver bills hidden on her body, but she never told Song Jin about this.
“Pah!”
"Open the door! Song Jin, open the door for me!"
Song Xiu was knocking on the door outside.
Song Jin knew what she was going to do and took out the IOU. Song Xiu quickly stuffed a thousand taels of silver into Song Jin's hand and then snatched the IOU away from Song Jin's hand.
Checked and no problem.
It was torn to pieces immediately!
"Hmph, without this, let's see how you can threaten me in the future?" Song Xiu was arrogant again.
Under Song Jin's cold gaze, Song Xiu returned to her room with a chill down her spine.
The reborn Song Xiu has acquired many bad habits, and is stupid, selfish, cowardly and afraid of death. Putting aside the blood relationship, this is Song Jin's evaluation of this life's Song Xiu.
Song Jin hates Song Xiu.
But as long as Song Xiu doesn't cross Song Jin's bottom line, Song Jin will not punish her.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be helping Qin Mingsong? Is Song Jin the kind of person who does good things?
Song Xiu is a thorn between Qin Mingsong and Bai Cuiwei. She is the one that disgusts Qin Mingsong and Bai Yueguang. In her previous life, Song Jin had been annoyed by them for many years. Someone has to disgust them back, right?
Based on this point alone, Song Jin would not really do anything to Song Xiu.
Get one thousand taels from Song Xiu.
It just so happened that Song Jin needed money, and he could do a lot of things with money.
Wait until you get back to the house.
You can also smell a faint medicinal scent.
Just now, Song Jin was standing in front of the courtyard gate and really wanted him not to go.
When she saw the coachman who was obviously not an ordinary person, she suddenly remembered that Qin Chi might have as many secrets as her, and she could no longer say the words to ask him not to go.
…
Dusk slowly descended like thick ink.
The last ray of sunlight in the sky was swallowed up by dark clouds, and the earth seemed to be shrouded in a layer of faint melancholy.
The wind, with a hint of coolness, blew through the treetops, making a low whimper, as if telling a silent sorrow.
A river near She County.
Torches gradually lit up on the river bank, but it was difficult to dispel the pervasive depression. The smell of blood was strong and the remains of corpses were vaguely visible. It was obvious that a fierce battle had taken place here.
There were no less than a hundred casualties.
At this time, the guards were cleaning up the mess and burying the bodies on the spot.
Others were bandaging the injured.
In a makeshift tent.
There were guards in three circles outside the tent, protecting the tent tightly.
The lights in the tent were bright, especially on the bed.
There was an arrow stuck in Qin Chi's shoulder.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Half of the arrow body was gone, but the arrowhead had not yet been pulled out.
Qin Chi was in a coma because Doctor Jing had drugged him.
Doctor Jing and the medicine boy are preparing to remove the arrow.
In addition to Doctor Jing, his medicine boy, and the injured Qin Chi, there was also a man in gorgeous clothes in the tent.
He looks to be about thirty years old, with an innate noble temperament.
His face was handsome, but with a hint of sickly paleness, and his thin figure was like a bamboo swaying in the wind, elegant and fragile. His eyes were deep and melancholy, and seemed to contain thousands of stories.
Despite years of illness, he still stood tall and straight, like a pine tree in the snow, tough and unyielding.
The man was in the tent, but he said nothing.
He just watched Doctor Jing treating Qin Chi with a calm expression.
It was not until Doctor Jing pulled out the arrow and bandaged the wound that the man shook his body and seemed to realize that he was tired.
A middle-aged scholar dressed like a scholar suddenly appeared behind him.
Thanks to him holding on, I didn't fall.
"Prince!"
The scholar supported him and said comfortingly, "Sir, you will be fine. You should take care of yourself."
"You say, should I not come here?"
The man called the prince suddenly coughed.
The scholar next to him tried to comfort him, "Luckily, the young master brought many people with him this time, so we were able to escape safely. Although the young master blocked an arrow for you, I believe he will not blame you."
Considering the prince's frail body.
If I get hit by an arrow like this again, it will be difficult to get up again.
This frail and noble man was none other than Helian Pu, the eldest son of Prince Rui, and Qin Chi's only surviving uncle.
This time, Helian Pu said that he wanted to come to the Taoist holy land of Qiyun Mountain to listen to the teachings.
It was no secret that Prince Pu believed in Taoism in the capital.
Some even deliberately spread rumors that he wanted to find a Taoist temple in Huangshan to spend the rest of his life.
There was no fuss along the way.
It's been pretty stable, with some stops and starts.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived in Huizhou, they encountered an ambush and suffered heavy casualties. If Qin Chi had not led his men to arrive in time, Helian Pu would have died here today.
It's not just him.
If Qin Chi woke up, he would also be grateful.
If it weren't for the so-called ninth day of October, which lingered in his mind like a curse, when Qin Chi disguised himself and came to pick people up, he would not have brought all the secret guards and manpower, including Doctor Jing, with him.
It is precisely because of Qin Chi’s caution.
It allowed him to successfully avoid death in this life.
Qin Chi also received the news in his previous life. At that time, he was in the county town. In order to conceal his tracks, he could not bring many people to see Helian Pu, let alone Doctor Jing.
It was a little late when we went there.
The people brought by Helian Pu had been killed, including the accompanying doctor.
A pair of uncle and nephew both died here.
