Riding a horse, even at a slow speed, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang's injuries still made them feel some pain. Seeing Hui Yue riding a horse to his side, Xia Xiao subconsciously hugged Shu Shuang tightly.
"Let's go faster so we can go back and treat the wound."
Xia Xiao's clothes were all red, which made Huiyue a little worried, but he looked straight ahead and said calmly:
"Stay away from us when you return to the city."
Huiyue nodded with regret. She didn't know Xia Xiao very well, but she felt that she couldn't make things worse. However, she was also more curious. Xia Xiao was so young, even if he came from afar, he couldn't be so powerful, right? If he continued like this, wouldn't he be able to shock the entire dynasty in a year?
As an ordinary Rongcheng citizen, Huiyue could not imagine Xia Xiao at that time. She followed Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang's horse, looked at his resolute back, and felt a little yearning. At this moment, she envied Shu Shuang a little, but not all girls can find someone worthy of their dependence!
The horses' hooves clattered, as if they were on an autumn outing. But the fire had already broken through the paper, making it impossible to contain it. On the way back, some people walking slowly started chatting, and the news that Manager Bin had harmed Xia Xiao gradually spread. Lin Jing was extremely worried after hearing this, but the only thing he was thankful for was that this matter had not yet involved him.
The rumor now is that Xia Xiao got the Ying Hu and Manager Bin wanted to pull him into the Jinmen Fighting City. But Xia Xiao disagreed, so Manager Bin used gold to force Xia Xiao to go to the bandit den to suppress the bandits.
When Xia Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but wonder, how could someone believe a story that was full of loopholes? How idle is that?
Walking on the roadside, Xia Xiao watched the carriages of the city lord and Manager Bin passing by him one after another, and couldn't help staring at them. If something like this happened again, he would not be polite. Although he knew how to endure, and knew that the Xia family was not what it was before, and should be more tolerant. But when he could no longer endure it, he would still attack, and once he fought back, he would not stop attacking until the other party died at his feet.
Manager Bin opened the car window and glanced at Xia Xiao. Suddenly, their eyes met. From those eyes, Xia Xiao could tell that he would never give up. But what would he face next time? On the other hand, Xia Xiao came to Rongcheng just to cause trouble. Every time he solved a small problem, he would be promoted. But if the trouble was too big, it would crush him.
After entering the city and returning to the inn at the west gate of Rongcheng, the waiter led the horse to the yard and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Master is awesome!"
Xia Xiao ignored her and went back to the room. Hui Yue followed him, but stood at the door, not knowing whether to go in or not. Finally, after struggling, she put down the medicine bag in her hand, bowed gratefully, and went back to the door and said:
"I'm sorry to trouble you."
Huiyue actually wanted to stay and treat Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang's wounds, but she was embarrassed to stay any longer.
"Wait a moment."
Xia Xiao's voice sounded like a steady old man, causing Huiyue to close the door and turn around.
"Help us bandage it before you leave."
Normally, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang would handle such matters themselves, but Xia Xiao had his own reasons for asking Hui Yue to stay temporarily.
Shu Shuang started first, so Xia Xiao turned his head and faced the wall to wipe the machete. He wiped off every drop of blood meticulously. With a wave of his arm, the water drops on the machete fell to the ground. Xia Xiao was quite satisfied with the machete without any blood stains, and stared at it in a daze.
"It's your turn."
Shu Shuang said as she put on her clothes. She was not seriously injured because Xia Xiao had done all the dangerous charges. Shu Shuang began to pack up the things in the room, and Xia Xiao took off his shirt.
Xia Xiao's arms, shoulders, and chest all had new scars. But he gritted his teeth, wiped off the blood with warm water, and then sat on a chair, letting Huiyue and Shushuang apply medicine to him.
Seeing such hideous scars, Huiyue was a little surprised, and couldn't imagine what kind of life Xia Xiao had experienced. But looking at Shu Shuang, the latter seemed to have gotten used to it, and there was only some heartache in her bright eyes, without any shock.
"Take that box away in a moment."
Xia Xiao's voice was indifferent, Huiyue finally realized what was going on and asked:
"You asked me to stay because..."
"What else?"
Xia Xiao looked at her with a cold gaze as if he was looking at a stranger.
For some reason, Huiyue felt a little angry when she saw such a look. Her brows were furrowed and the gentleness on her little face gradually turned cold.
"I don't want it."
"This is Manager Bin's money, not mine. If you don't want it, he won't suffer any loss!"
"It's yours, you worked hard to earn it."
"If I eliminate the bandits, the city lord will naturally reward me, but not these."
Huiyue shook her head and refused to accept it. Xia Xiao took the bandage from Huiyue's hand, wrapped it himself, and then handed her the box containing the gold.
"Here."
"No!"
Huiyue said as she walked away, but how could she be as fast as Xia Xiao? She put her foot against the door, and Huiyue's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.
"If you can survive by being tough, then living wouldn't be that difficult."
Xia Xiao's words stunned Huiyue. Is this what a 14-year-old child should say? What does he know?
Shu Shuang, who was standing by, saw the awkward atmosphere and advised:
"Sister Huiyue, take it. Don't let our kindness go to waste."
While Huiyue hesitated, Xia Xiao stuffed the box into her arms.
"Go ahead, stay away from us from now on."
After saying that, Xia Xiao pushed her out the door.
Seeing Xia Xiao locking the door, Shu Shuang said with a smile:
"It's so kind of you."
"Everyone chased her away. Is everything okay?"
"You're trying to protect her."
Shu Shuang knew Xia Xiao very well, and what he said at this time also made him secretly happy. As long as there is one person who understands him, he can ignore the opinions of others.
"Practice, there will probably be something else in a few days."
Shu Shuang nodded, sat on the bed with Xia Xiao, and made a "He" seal together.
Outside the door, Huiyue stood for a long time, holding the box. An hour passed, and the door didn't open! Two hours passed, and the door was still closed!
When the waiter saw this, he brought a chair, but Huiyue slowly left.
Walking into the hall, Huiyue looked back again, but it seemed that the door would never open for her. She was disheartened and left completely. After living for so many years, this was the biggest favor she owed. If nothing unexpected happened, she would never be able to repay it in this lifetime!
Huiyue couldn't explain to her parents how much money it was, but her desperate father took it and used it to pay them back. The remaining money was enough for them to buy back their previous house. As long as he could get out of the current predicament, he was willing to take money from one place to pay another. But after learning from Huiyue where the money came from, her father was overjoyed because he didn't have to pay it back!
Taking the money, Huiyue sent her mother and brother to treatment. She sat by the window, staring at the street in a daze.
How should Manager Bin deal with Xia Xiao? Can they escape the fatal targeting? There are only two months left before the local competition. Is Xia Xiao strong enough?
Huiyue became more and more annoyed the more she thought about it. When she saw Manager Bin's men heading towards the west of the city, she was so scared that she ran out of the pharmacy.
Huiyue followed the man, but he just entered the restaurant. Stopping under the sign of "Tianfu Kitchen", Huiyue wiped the sweat from her forehead. She was too sensitive!
