Stage [Republic of China]

Hey.

But besides jealousy, there is more willingness.

Xu Jishan's voice was hoarse and deep, and the light in her eagle eyes was unclear. "Boss Shui, Xu can treat me with some sincerity without asking you to. But remember! I will protect you for the rest of my life."

56, 56

◎"...Ah!"◎

An hour later, Dong Linchang, the chairman of the Jingxi Prefecture Chamber of Commerce, rolled out a small box under the lamp with a smile.The box is flat and is carved in Chinese mahogany.

On the opposite side, Yamamoto just glanced at him, and he was sitting in a dainty manner, with two little black beards on his lips, motionless.

"Master Yamada," Dong Linchang pinched the left sleeve with his right hand, leaned forward, and said in a low voice, "This is a money order from Hang Lung Bank. No matter where you go, it can be cashed."

Yamamoto took another look, not very interested.After a few seconds, he spoke blunt Chinese and said, "Yes, the businessman surnamed Xu asked you to send it?"

"Yes, that's him. His surname is Xu, and his full name is Xu Jishan." Dong Linchang nodded with a smile, and said, "This person has always been obedient."

Yamada turned his head and looked at the female interpreter. The female interpreter immediately chattered and said something to him. Yamada turned around and nodded at Dong Linchang. "Mr. Dong, continue."

Dong Linchang slowly rubbed the big jade finger on his right hand.Xu Jishan also got him the thumb pull.After noon today, Xu Jishan came out of the patrol room to find Dong Linchang, and respectfully presented him with this emerald finger ring, saying that it was a good thing from the palace, and that several emperors had played with it.

Now this emerald belongs to him.Dong Linchang's brows were relaxed, and he felt that his family was quite regal, so he rubbed his fingers and smiled reservedly. "If Mr. Yamada doesn't care about it, you can raise your hand once and let that Shui go. There are still people on Xu Jishan's side who will honor you."

There was another burst of chirping.

After hearing what the female interpreter said, Yamada turned around and asked puzzledly, "What else does he have in exchange? It's just a few rice shops."

"More than that." Dong Linchang shook his head, smiling unfathomably.

"If I remember correctly," Yamada said in blunt Chinese, "Boss Shui is just an opera singer?"

"It's really just an opera singer." Dong Linchang smiled slightly. "But there's no way that kid Xu Jishan has a good heart! Ahaha!"

Dong Linchang laughed and gave Yamada a look.

It's the look a man knows.

This time Yamada understood immediately without needing an interpreter, and smiled slightly.A few seconds later, his golden bean-like black eyes lit up. "I don't know what chips he has in hand to exchange?"

Dong Linchang put his arms on the table, leaned forward, and said quietly: "Xu Jishan, you told me that he still has twenty boxes of guns hidden in the abandoned garden!"

"Where did he get the gun?" Yamada's voice sank and his face was gloomy. "How dare he hide the army.! Fire?!"

"Hey, that's not what you said." Dong Linchang slowly retracted his body and said with a smile, "Master Yamada doesn't know something. In this world, as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do with money."

Yamada glanced at the box full of money orders, and tightly pressed his lips under his black beard.

"Of course, this is the logic of our businessmen. Xu Jishan is a businessman, and he can always get some of these wonderful things." Dong Linchang said, and subconsciously rubbed the jade wrench on his right thumb, unable to bear it Zhu squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Master Yamada, look, even this kind of finger wrench that came out of the palace and played with by the emperor, isn't it in the old man's hands now?"

Dong Linchang smiled until the corners of his eyes narrowed into a thin line.

Under the light, Yamada was silent for a while, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curled up, turning his anger into joy. "I heard that there is an old saying in your country that money can make ghosts turn millstones?"

"Master Yamada doesn't know something," Dong Linchang said with a smile, shaking his head slightly, "Ah, there's another saying behind it, it's called money can make Motui ghosts."

Hahaha, the two of them laughed out loud at the same time under the lamp.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Shui Jiu was half leaning on the straw pile, wondering whether the beast Qin Er Shao would come to humiliate him again before dark, when suddenly there was the sound of jingling keys outside, followed by the sound of footsteps.

Strangely, he thought of Xu Jishan from the sound of footsteps.

He raised his head, and sure enough, he saw Xu Jishan walking towards him from a distance.Xu Jishan is dressed very suavely today, with a white silky button-down gown on her upper body, a pair of scarlet wide-leg trousers on her lower body, and a big black fur cloak vaguely draped over it.

It's rare to see him dressed so traditionally.

Shui Jiu gasped in surprise.

Xu Jishan rushed to the prison door first, grabbed the fence with both hands, rolled her Adam's apple, and smiled warmly at him: "I'll take you home."

The jailer came over lazily carrying a large bunch of keys.As soon as the door was opened, Xu Jishan couldn't wait to get in, half-hugging and half-hugging Shui Jiu, who was leaning against the haystack, straightened her body, almost touching his ear, and said urgently: "Come with me!"

Shui Jiu lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Xu Jishan helped the man up, put his arm on her shoulder, and put his arm around his waist.Before he could walk a few steps, Shui Jiu frowned slightly in pain. Although he tried his best to conceal it, Xu Jishan finally noticed the strangeness.

"What's wrong with your leg?"

Shui Jiu pursed her lips slightly. "It's a discount."

Xu Jishan's eagle eyes widened for a moment, she endured it, and didn't explode in front of the jailer, she just hugged her in her arms and strode out.

The jailer took a lot of money and benefits, so naturally he didn't care about it, and he was happy to turn a blind eye.Xu Jishan hugged someone as mighty as a general charging into battle. She carried Shui Jiu into the car all the way, and immediately took off the big fur cloak she was wearing, and covered him.

Xu Jishan sat at the front by herself, and said to the driver in a deep voice, "Go back to Xu's house."

"Okay, sir."

The atmosphere in the carriage was silent and depressing.Shui Jiu let him hug her out like this, her pale cheeks flushed abnormally, half ashamed, half annoyed.He complained that he was obviously angry with Xu Jishan, but now he asked this person to hug him in public.Apart from suffering in vain, he didn't know what to do with all this trouble.

The more Shui Jiu thought about it, the more annoyed she became, a breath of cold air hissed from her water chestnut lips.

"But it hurts badly?"

Shui Jiu raised her eyes and saw Xu Jishan turning around from the front row at some point and staring at him intently.

"……nothing."

Shui Jiu avoided his eyes, curled up, and turned the back of her head to Xu Jishan.

Xu Jishan clenched her fists again, suppressed, and said nothing all the way.

When they reached the gate of Xu's house, the car stopped in front of the black carved iron gate. Xu Jishan bent down again and picked up Shui Jiu, hugged him in her arms, and carried him to the cobblestone path in silence.There is a flaming brazier at the entrance, and the charcoal fire in the copper basin is piled as high as a hill.

"Hey, Master, come and step over the brazier to get rid of bad luck."

Xu Jishan strode across the brazier with Shui Jiu in her arms.The housekeeper immediately sprinkled some grapefruit water on them, and then sighed in relief. "Okay, now the bad luck is gone."

"Go find a doctor first!"

After Xu Jishan hurriedly gave orders to the housekeeper, she carried Shui Jiu across the long corridor of the Heguan, reached the turning, and went straight to Yutang.

"Where are you taking me?" Shui Jiu asked nervously.

"You've been injured, and the filth and blood stains all over your body must be washed." Xu Jishan paused, then whispered: "Although it will hurt a little, but the wound is cleaned, and the medicine can be applied later."

Shui Jiu was silent, but her pale knuckles convulsed for a moment.

When he arrived at Tang Chizi's place, Xu Jishan gently placed him by the pool wall, and stretched out his hand to unbutton the collar of his shirt.

"I'll do it myself." Shui Jiu raised her hand to stop him.

Xu Jishan didn't accept the rebuttal at all, as if she was blind and deaf, she moved her honey-colored fingers neatly all the way, and said in her mouth: "It's already this time, and you are still stubborn with me."

Shui Jiu pursed her lips, her eyelids drooped slightly, and the rags on her clothes were stuck to the wound on her back, and it was indeed not easy for him to peel off.But at the waist and abdomen, Shui Jiu stubbornly stopped Xu Jishan. "I'll come home!"

Cold white fingers rested lightly on Xu Jishan's big honey-colored hand, and the skin color was clearly different.

In this tranquility, the steaming hot mist from the pool came up, and the eye sockets and fundus of the two people were slightly moistened.The layered mist in the pool fogged Xu Jishan's eyes, and then condensed into sweat, and the black hair on his forehead dripped down.

Xu Jishan suddenly raised her hand to caress Shui Jiu's shoulder, her palm became hotter and hotter.

Shui Jiu was shocked, blushing, and reprimanded in a cold voice: "I hurt my legs and feet, and I'm not a useless person. If you continue to do this..."

"So what?" Xu Jishan cut him off with a deep smile.There was no smile in those eagle eyes, if you look carefully, it looks more like a bottomless pool surrounded by oozing heat.

Shui Jiu felt suffocated for no reason, turned away his eyes, and didn't look at him, but silently stretched his hands, and slid along the wall of the pool into the pool with a plop.

Xu Jishan sat half-squat on the wall of the pool, leaned over to probe, and laughed softly. "If I really want to force you, what can you do?"

Shui Jiu said nothing.

But according to that person's temperament, he must have been annoyed at the moment.

So Xu Jishan laughed sadly again. "In your heart, what kind of person is I Xu Xun?"

Shui Jiu didn't answer him.The fog in the bath was even heavier, and his body was soaked layer by layer, most of it was the hot mist from the pool, but his palms were obviously sticky and sweaty.He sank under the hot water, submerging his whole body in the water, only his head was exposed.

Xu Jishan didn't chase after her, but that sad laughter grew louder and louder.
