Chapter 37 A Strange Old Man
Thinking of this, Li Dali felt much more at ease, and ordered Liu Qingzhi in an imperative tone to find Liu Yueshi for the antidote.
When Liu Yueshi heard Li Dali's tone, he became angry. He glared at Li Dali with a stern face and pretended to take something out.
Seeing this, Li Dali got scared and stepped back repeatedly. However, he couldn't stand the itch on his body, so he had to slow down his tone.
"Doctor Liu, how can you give me the antidote?"
Liu Yueshi snorted twice and didn't even look at Li Dali.
Li Dali was angry, but he could only speak to Liu Yueshi in a nice tone.
"Doctor Liu, can I give you some money?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yueshi's eyes lit up, then he looked at Li Dali with a stern face and held out five fingers.
"Fifty taels of silver?" Li Dali was slightly startled. He did not expect Liu Yueshishi to ask for so much: "Doctor Liu, fifty taels is too much. Can you make it cheaper?
You can see that I am just a small escort and I don't have that much silver. Is twenty taels okay?"
Li Dali didn't dare to shout too low, for fear of angering Liu Yueshi again. Besides, he heard that the second prince had spent more than one hundred taels of silver to stabilize his body, so it was normal for Liu Yueshi to ask for fifty taels.
At that moment, Liu Qingzhi was stunned.
When Liu Qingzhi saw that Li Dali was about to attack Xie Xu, he had already thought of a solution.
He asked Liu Yueshi to rush over to stop Li Dali, and took the opportunity to poison Li Dali.
This way, he could protect Xie Xu and sell the antidote to Li Dali to make money.
He had previously discussed with his father that the antidote would cost five taels of silver, but he didn't expect Li Dali to misunderstand him and thought it would cost fifty taels of silver, so he bargained down to twenty taels.
Hehe, I made a profit!
At that moment, a strange idea began to germinate in Liu Qingzhi's mind.
Seeing that the number given by Li Dali was different from what Liu Qingzhi said, Liu Yueshi was a little confused and subconsciously looked at his son.
Seeing his son smiling brightly and winking at him, Liu Yueshi understood.
"Row."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yueshi took out a pill and extended his right hand to Liu Yueshi, signaling him to give the silver quickly.
Li Dali took out a twenty-liang silver note and put it in Liu Yueshi's hand. Liu Yueshi took a look, put the pill in Li Dali's hand, and waved his hand unhappily: "Let's go!"
Li Dali didn't dare to stay and left quickly with the antidote.
Then Liu Yueshi handed the twenty-liang silver note to Liu Qingzhi as if he was presenting a treasure: "Son, we have silver."
"Yes, we have money." Liu Qingzhi replied excitedly.
Now, the father and son no longer have to eat and drink for free and do shameful things.
Liu Qingzhi took the banknote and walked up to Ye Qinglin happily, his eyes sparkling: "Aunt, this is the food money for me and my father."
Ye Qinglin took the banknote and smiled: "Okay."
Hearing this, Liu Qingzhi smiled brightly.
Thinking of the itching powder that Liu Yueshi had just made Li Dali poisoned, Ye Qinglin was a little worried: "Will Li Dali's poison be neutralized by taking the detoxification pill?"
"No." Liu Qingzhi shook his head and chuckled, "My father had expected this to happen, so he made a strengthened version of the itching powder. Not only will it not neutralize the poison in Li Dali's body, it will make it worse."
Hearing this, Ye Qinglin felt relieved. At the same time, she felt that Liu Yueshi was thoughtful and had considered all possible events.
"Aunt, don't worry. Li Dali won't cause trouble again. He probably thinks my father is a madman who uses poison, and he might have poisoned Uncle Xie to death." Liu Qingzhi shrugged and said with a smile.
Thinking of Li Dali's eyes just now, Ye Qinglin felt that this was possible.
Then, Ye Qinglin came to Xie Xu, held his hand, said nothing, and gave Xie Xu a gentle smile.
Xie Xu didn't say anything either, but rubbed the back of Ye Qinglin's hand with his bony fingers.
Suddenly a scream was heard. Ye Qinglin and Xie Xu looked towards the source of the sound at the same time, and saw an old man in a black gown appearing outside the straw hut.
The old man had short white hair and a black eye patch on his left eye. He was missing two fingers on his right hand and could not speak. He could only say "ahhh" and point his finger at the wooden door.
Seeing that the old man was covered in dirt and had bloody wounds on his arms and hands, I thought that he was being chased by someone.
Ye Qinglin frowned, thinking of their current identities. She didn't want to get involved, but when she saw the old man's appearance, she couldn't bear it.
Not knowing what to do, Ye Qinglin subconsciously looked at Xie Xu and let Xie Xu make the decision.
Xie Xu frowned and looked at the old man, but did not say anything.
When the old man saw that they did not react, his eyes suddenly became depressed, as if he had lost his life and was waiting for death to come.
Seeing this scene, Ye Qinglin's heart ached for some reason, and she inexplicably thought of Xie Xu from her previous life.
At that moment, Ye Qinglin's mouth spoke faster than her brain.
"You hide under the cart."
The old man's eyes lit up instantly. He expressed his gratitude to Ye Qinglin and quickly crawled under the cart to hide.
After a while, several fierce-looking strong men ran in and shouted at them: "Did you see an old man running in?"
The Xie family members looked confused, looking at each other, as if asking, "Did anyone run in?"
Seeing the looks from the Xie family, the strong men became impatient.
"say something!"
"We didn't see the old man you were talking about, but we saw a young man running in and then leaving." Ye Qinglin replied.
The strong men snorted and cursed, "I didn't expect that old man to run so fast. He disappeared in a moment."
"Even if he runs fast, he can't get far. He's probably hiding. Let's look for him here."
"What are you looking for? Let's go quickly. This is the inn run by the county magistrate's brother-in-law. If we suddenly run in and are discovered by the innkeeper, we will be in big trouble."
One of the sturdy men said this, and the others nodded in agreement, turned around and strode away.
Then the shopkeeper and the clerk came over and asked the Xie family what was going on, and the Xie family did not hide anything.
The shopkeeper got angry and said he would go find someone to settle the score.
Only after everyone had left did Ye Qinglin let the old man out.
The old man crawled out tremblingly, gave Ye Qinglin a grateful smile, then took out a gold leaf and stuffed it into Ye Qinglin's hand, then turned and ran away.
Ye Qinglin wanted to return the gold leaf to the other party, but she didn't have the chance.
Seeing the golden leaves in her hand, Ye Qinglin suddenly understood why those strong men wanted to chase the old man.
The old man's body couldn't help him running away even if he wanted to.
Ye Qinglin sighed and threw the gold leaves into the space.
night.
Li Dali asked the waiter to deliver rice porridge in the name of Liu Shitou.
Ye Qinglin replaced the rice porridge, and after the waiter left, the Xie family and the Liu family father and son drank the rice porridge and ate stir-fried pork with beans, looking very satisfied.
After they finished eating, Liu Shitou ran over in a panic. When he saw the empty wooden barrel, his face turned pale and he looked guilty.
"I'm sorry, I've hurt everyone!"
