Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World
Chapter 73 Yang Hao's Growth
That night, apart from Zhang Rishan, who had been put to sleep by Ling Yue's acupuncture point, no one else in the camp was able to get a good night's sleep.
Despite the combined efforts of the Qi, Huo, and Li families, Chen Jinshui managed to keep Huo Youxue and the others from openly breaking ties by relying on the scripture related to the ancient city of Tongjing and the Chen family's ruthless style.
Even with Huo Daofu's advice, Chen Jinshui was able to gain a subtle advantage in this collective treasure hunt.
Therefore, the Chen family's tent was the closest to the entrance of Gutongjing.
Ling Yue and Zhang Rishan's tents were not far from Chen Jinshui and Huo Daofu's tents. Around three or four in the morning, a group of people suddenly emerged from the entrance.
Although they tried to move as quietly as possible, Ling Yue noticed their presence immediately.
Getting up to avoid the sunlight, Ling Yue went to the tent flap and pulled it open.
By the light of the outside lights, I could vaguely see a group of people supporting a person with mobility issues.
Looking closely, I saw Li Cu, whom I hadn't seen for a while.
Therefore, this group is the Wang family.
They have discovered Li Cu's special qualities and are preparing to take him back to the Wang family.
Ling Yue remained silent and waited.
With the Wu family's dogs and night watchmen in the camp, it was impossible for the Wang family to slip away quietly without being seen by everyone.
really.
Soon, a dog rushed out and pounced on Li Cu, knocking him to the ground.
Instead of attacking him, it sniffed his scent and gently licked Li Cudi's face.
The Wang family was startled by the dog that suddenly rushed out, which made a noise and woke up the guards on night watch. Soon they were met with a fierce battle and encirclement by the people of the Nine Gates.
Chen Jinshui was still awake when he heard the noise and immediately ran out.
Upon discovering the Wang family, he immediately raised his eyebrows and revealed a ruthless expression. He wielded his nine-clawed hook with great force, fighting to a standstill with the leader of the group.
In the ensuing struggle, Li Cu was left on the ground unattended.
Ling Yue surveyed the surroundings, then immediately crept over and dragged the person into the nearest empty tent.
Li Cu saw a cute-looking young lady struggling to drag him into the tent, and knew that she was helping him, so he struggled and kicked his legs to help.
However, this backfired on Ling Yue, who was pretending to be weak.
Ling Yue watched as he struggled recklessly despite his serious injuries, eventually managing to knock himself unconscious.
With a helpless sigh, Ling Yue bent down, carried the person to the bed, and then sat directly on the floor to take his pulse.
The internal organs showed obvious internal injuries, seemingly caused by a direct, powerful shock.
The patient also suffered fractures and cracks to varying degrees in the hands, feet, and ribs. The injury was severe and has not yet received effective treatment, leaving toxins in the body.
Ling Yue couldn't help but frown.
Listening to the sounds outside and making sure no one would disturb them anytime soon, Ling Yue climbed into bed.
They lifted the unconscious Li Cu out of the water and positioned him in a posture that was more conducive to the smooth flow of meridians and the harmony of the five elements, with his heart facing upwards.
She sat behind him, her palms resting on the two vital points on Li Cu's back, corresponding to his heart and lungs, in a meditative posture, quickly channeling her internal energy into him to heal his injuries.
Li Cu was not a martial artist, and his tendons and veins were very fragile.
Ling Yue dared not be too hasty, so he could only suppress his internal energy into fine strands as thin as a hair and gentle breeze, slowly smoothing out the blockages and serious injuries in his internal organs.
Upon hearing approaching footsteps, Ling Yue withdrew his inner force at the last moment, placed the still unconscious Li Cu on the bed, and then, with lightning speed, left the tent as if carried by a gust of wind.
The next day, after Li Cu woke up, the people from the Nine Gates couldn't wait to drag him out and force him to tell them what Wu Xie was trying to do and where the treasure beneath Gutongjing was.
Li Cu was stunned. Facing the menacing group of people, he suddenly remembered Wu Xie's instructions that he had seen in his snake venom hallucination, and immediately said, "I want to see Brother Xiaoman! I'll only talk to him!"
Huo Youxue and Chen Jinshui exchanged glances, and finally asked the Wu family to bring out Xiaoman.
However, when faced with a large, black German Shepherd, Li Cu was dumbfounded.
Wu Xie didn't say that Xiao Man Ge wasn't human, but a dog!
Ling Yue followed Zhang Rishan and stood in Chen's shop. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Zhang Rishan noticed the smile on her lips, then looked at Li Cu, examining him from all angles, but couldn't discern anything special about the young man.
Why do I treat him like he's not a nose or an eye?
I even knocked him unconscious last night!
Because of the friendly attitude of Wu's dog, Xiaoman, towards Li Cu, Wu's servants immediately treated Li Cu as one of their own, being very polite to him and even wanting to take him back with them.
However, Chen Jinshui and his men were not willing to do so, and with just a few words, they managed to subdue the Wu family's employees.
However, it's definitely not acceptable to use force against Li Cu.
So poor Yang Hao became the target of a beating once again.
Ling Yue: "..."
That kid is really unlucky.
Regardless of whether Yang Hao was unlucky or not, this move was indeed effective. Li Cu revealed the treasure of Gutongjing that Huo Youxue and others were most concerned about.
Upon hearing this, even the shrewd and calculating Hordorff couldn't help but speak up: "So you're saying that the Golden Cave is full of gold and silver treasures? Tell me properly, what is it really like there!"
Upon learning that the Golden Cave was actually located right below where they had their barbecue the night before, the group couldn't sit still any longer.
They immediately checked the map and pinpointed the location of the treasure.
The ancient city of Gutongjing was fraught with danger, so Huo Daofu decided to take Yang Hao down with him. Yang Hao had barely managed to escape from below and had no intention of going down again.
Li Cu wanted to go down himself, but Huo Daofu said something to Chen Jinshui, and Chen Jinshui told Li Cu to stay up there.
With just a few words, Huo Daofu stirred up discord between Yang Hao and Li Cu, while Huo Youxue and others deliberately egged him on from the sidelines.
After Yang Hao came out of the tent where they were discussing business, he shouted Li Cu's name, rushed over, and beat Li Cu up.
He looked very angry.
The others were happy to see the two good buddies turn against each other, but Ling Yue noticed that Yang Hao deliberately avoided looking at Li Cu's wounds.
She realized what was happening.
It seems that Yang Hao's acting skills have improved rapidly. He has also realized that he and Li Cu are now under someone else's roof and have no choice but to bow their heads. They cannot do anything against the wishes of Chen Jinshui and the others.
Now, by staging a dramatic reversal, Chen Jinshui and the others might feel more at ease about Yang Hao and Li Cu.
Ling Yue had no idea that it was Huo Daofu's provocation of her and Zhang Rishan last night that made Yang Hao realize that what these people said was completely unreliable.
Therefore, when Huo Daofu and others sowed discord today, aside from the initial resentment towards Li Cu caused by fear, Yang Hao quickly came to her senses.
At the same time, he understood the purpose of Huo Daofu and his group's efforts to sow discord: to make him and Li Cu turn against each other, to control him, and to use him to threaten Li Cu.
This shows that when Huo Daofu and the others said that Li Cu had changed, that Li Cu had abandoned them, and that they had abandoned their brotherhood.
In fact, they knew better than anyone how much Li Cu cared about Yang Hao.
Given this, Yang Hao no longer believed that Li Cu would deliberately push him to his death in order to protect himself.
The moment he understood, Yang Hao felt as if he had been enlightened.
In that instant, he seemed to transform from the blustering, cowardly, and utterly useless bum into someone who had never truly accomplished anything.
Whether by coincidence or not, Yang Hao happened to look up in Ling Yue's direction when she was being pulled up.
The two locked eyes. Yang Hao was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening. She pursed her lips, lowered her head, clenched her fists, and pretended to be resentful.
Yang Hao was pulled away by Huo Daofu and Chen Jinshui, and the rest of the people dispersed. Li Cu, who was lying on the ground, was also helped up and sent back to the tent.
Seeing Huo Xiaoyuan follow her inside, Ling Yue turned around and went back to her and Zhang Rishan's tent.
Zhang Rishan, who was sitting calmly on the bed, saw her come in and was about to say something when he suddenly saw her pick up her backpack. After a moment's thought, he understood what she wanted to do.
A pang of jealousy shot through Zhang Rishan's heart, but he still tried his best to maintain his composure, composure, and dignified demeanor: "Be careful when you go down, and remember to come find me later."
He also needs to fulfill the promise between Ling Yue and Wu Xie.
Ling Yue hummed in agreement, and as she walked to the tent door, she turned and looked back at him.
Zhang Rishan thought she was going to say something like "Be careful and stay safe," and he felt a little secretly pleased.
But what she said next was, "Yang Hao won't be coming up. You'll have to keep an eye on Li Cu then."
The stars in Zhang Rishan's eyes have disappeared.
