Chapter 137 Spring Day
The young master was held in the hands of Yu Chi, and was so scared that he peed his pants.
Yu Chi took him back to the alley and glanced at him.
"Tell me, which way did those people run to?"
The young master was afraid and pointed in a direction.
"There, there."
Seeing that he was shaking like a sieve, he seemed a little unclear, and Yu Chi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Are you sure?"
The young master nodded affirmatively.
"Yes, I am sure."
Yu Chi was very fast and had good Qinggong. Following the young master's instructions, he came to a ruined temple in the corner of the city. When he stood at the door of the ruined temple, Yu Chi stopped.
There was a distance from here to the alley, not short, but not particularly long.
"You look familiar?"
The young master didn't answer. Yu Chi couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could guess something.
Either the young master was often robbed so he was well-known, or this broken temple was a gathering place for hooligans, or both.
Yu Chi drew out the Yuanjie sword hidden at his waist, and the blade made a sound of breaking through the air. He carried the young master inside.
"I'll show you whether a person's nature is good or bad can be determined by the color of blood."
He walked into the broken temple, and someone recognized the young master.
"Hey, I asked you to give me some money to spend, but you didn't give it to me. Now you're delivering it to me?"
His eyes fell on Yu Chi holding the sword.
"You brought help?"
"Yes, I brought help."
The hand holding Yuan Jie moved and stabbed the ruffian directly. In fact, he was just a gangster and didn't know martial arts. He was frightened and fell to the ground when Yu Chi pointed his sword.
His pants were wet, and he was scared to piss.
Yuan Jie was about to pierce his throat when there were complicated footsteps behind him.
"Stop!"
Some soldiers came in and surrounded them. Yu Chi stood still. A man who looked like a head of the police touched the handle of the knife hanging on his waist and came to the side of Yu Chi, a short distance away.
"Hey, doctor, please take back the sword and release the young master of the Lin family."
The captain considered the address and remembered that the second aunt of the Lin family said that it was a doctor who took the young master away. It must be the one holding the sword in front of him.
The captain told Yu Chi that if there was any injustice, he could report it to the government, and the government would handle it impartially.
Yu Chi threw the young master to the ground, but did not withdraw the sword.
"Fairly, really?"
"Of course."
"I'll give you a chance to handle it impartially."
The soldiers escorted all the gangsters and took them away in front of Yu Chi.
Yu Chi left and returned to the eaves. He took away the wooden board. The old man was still there. He took the old man back to the valley.
When the sun set, Yu Chi finally accepted the death of the old man.
He erected a monument for the old man and buried him beside the small lake where they often went fishing.
While the sunset was still fading, he brought a bowl of crucian carp and tofu soup and placed it in front of the old man's grave.
"Your favorite, remember to eat it while it's hot."
The calm lake reflected the monument and Yu Chi. Yu Chi looked at the water and looked at himself in the water. At some point, a teardrop mole appeared at the end of his left eye.
It wasn't there originally.
Yu Chi didn't cry when the old man left, as if his tears had dried up, and his expectations for this world were all gone. He couldn't cry anymore, and there was only numbness in his heart.
When he was almost in despair, he met his master, a kind, smiling, but somewhat naughty old man.
He will always remember that day, when the dawn was just beginning, and the sun was about to break through the darkness of the night, the warm morning glow fell on the old man and brought him back.
And the old man stretched out his hand to him.
On a bright spring morning, the old man embraced the light of the morning sun and took Yu Chi back.
And in the evening when the spring breeze blew, Yu Chi buried the old man in the last ray of spring light, facing the afterglow of the sunset.
That was the only warmth that Yu Chi felt in the first half of his life. After that, he took the medical skills taught by the old man and walked forward alone in the world, determined to go on.
...
"What about those hooligans?"
Hearing about the past, he felt a little sad. Gu Jue pressed Yu Chi's head on his shoulder. In front of Hong Yu, Yu Chi felt a little awkward.
He wanted to break away, but Gu Jue's attitude was unexpectedly tough.
He knew that what Yu Chi was talking about now was the rare ten years of peace and happiness.
Yu Chi did not break away, and Hong Yu did not stop him. Fortunately, he just gave up.
"They were detained for robbery, not murder, so they were released soon."
"Why?!"
"Because the child said in court that the old man was a demon. Their prejudice is engraved in their bones, and no one cares about the life and death of the demons."
Those people never want to look carefully. They only believe what they want to believe. The pedantic thinking is a bad habit that they can never change.
No matter how gentle and kind the old man is, the moment they know he is a demon, they will still avoid him like snakes and scorpions.
"Did they let them go just like that?"
"No."
The government protected that group of idiots, which made Yu Chi understand another thing.
Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. This sentence is engraved in people's bones. It may not be easy to influence them, but it is definitely not impossible.
Unless someone in a high position of power can step forward.
Gu Jue suddenly had an idea.
"Gu Wuhui?"
"Yes."
"Will he help you?"
"I don't know. Gu Wuhui is indeed not prejudiced, but he has no feelings towards non-human things."
Even if Yu Chi had saved him, he would not do that. No matter how unreliable Gu Wuhui looked on weekdays, he had his own principles.
He would not affect some deep-rooted things.
"Then you..."
Yu Chi chuckled.
"I'll let him help me."
Those thugs were finally punished.
After Yu Chi learned the outcome of the incident, he did not take action directly, but watched it coldly. Then, he went to Shangjing.
Getting to know Gu Wuhui was intentional and accidental. He was originally only interested in the seventh prince, but he didn't expect that Gu Wuhui would come to him.
He helped Gu Wuhui detoxify, and before leaving Shangjing, he told Gu Wuhui the whole story.
You know, without the old man, there would be no Yu Chi today. Without the Yu Chi today, Gu Wuhui's poison might not be so easy to cure.
Gu Wuhui was of course willing to do Yu Chi a favor, and he helped Yu Chi.
He used particularly formal means, because the local official was indeed not a clean official.
Moreover, he was a subordinate of the third prince.
But Gu Wuhui still took action. He was impressed by Yu Chi's ability and wanted to get to know Yu Chi, so he was telling Yu Chi with his actions.
You see, in order to help you, I even offended my third brother. I really want to get to know you.
The government changed people, and even those people from the Lin family were detained and kowtowed in front of the old man's grave and apologized.
Gu Wuhui did this, so Yu Chi was willing to give him a favor and lend a hand to Gu Wuhui's requests.
The two of them became "friends".
