It's hard to be a prodigal

There was a little confusion on the deck, Le Lian hurriedly carried Jiang Zong into the interior of the cargo ship, and knocked on the bedroom of the wandering doctor on board.

Le Lian's attitude was suddenly more respectful than when he met Lord Hou, and even bowed his head to the highly respected wandering doctor: "Mr. Yunxing, my brother is not feeling well, please take a look at him."

Doctor Yunyou smiled decently, put down his chopsticks, rolled up his sleeves, and checked Jiang Zong's pulse.

Mr. Yun Xing lowered his eyelids, and his side face was gentle and serene. It is said that he is almost [-] years old, but he has been well maintained. It can be seen that he was a beauty when he was young.

But he is not as easy to provoke as he looks on the surface.

This Mr. Yun Xing has superb medical skills, enough to kill human flesh and bones, but he is extremely willful. If he is in a good mood and he is in a submissive manner, he will be like a spring breeze. If he is in a bad mood, he will let you live or die. Forcing him to practice medicine will inevitably lead to his sudden death on the street, and he will never know who did it.

Le Lian had also heard about this mysterious Mr. Yun Xing, and it was a credit to him for his willingness to take his cargo ship.

Mr. Yun Xing checked his pulse, wiped his hands, and said slowly: "It's nothing serious. It's just that I'm too afraid of water. I haven't seen a patient who is so afraid of water." The gentleman pursed his lips and smiled, "It's just normal. Drowning can't cause such a serious shock, he seems to have drowned before. Maybe I'm not good at medicine."

Mr. Yunxing picked up his chopsticks, picked up half of the egg flower noodles, and ate them leisurely.

"I've drowned before..." Le Lian sat on the edge of the wooden bed and worriedly held Jiang Zong's hand. Jiang Zong closed his eyes tightly and held on to Le Lian's fingers, his face pale as paper.

Seeing the young man waiting anxiously, Yun Xing chatted softly with him: "Jiang Zong, the young master of the Jiang family, is a famous playboy in Jinzhou. I have met him before."

Le Lian breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a bit: "Sir, have you seen Brother Zong?"

There is always a faint smile on Yun Xing's lips: "Well, he said to me, 'A beauty in white clothes is the most out of the dust, I wonder if I can have the honor to invite the young master to take a nap in front of the hall for half a day, and share the romance of the world'."

The corner of Le Lian's mouth twitched, his face stiffened suddenly, and he coughed awkwardly.

Brother Zong actually molested Mr. Yunxing in public, looking at Nan'an and Beihua, who else would dare to talk to Mr. Yunxing like that, this is a big problem.

Yun Xing smiled lightly: "That was seven or eight years ago, don't worry, I don't hold grudges."

"..." Le Lian could only sigh, "Mr. just laughed."

Mr. Yun Xing was tolerant and magnanimous, and pierced Jiang Zong with a few silver needles, and he woke up in a moment, and was carried into another bedroom by Le Lian to rest.

It wasn't until evening that Jiang Zong's spirits improved. He ate half a bowl of shredded pork porridge and two steamed buns with milk and noodles.

Le Lian sat beside him, hugging his waist and rubbing his numb arm.

"It's okay, accident." Jiang Zong drank the porridge as if nothing had happened, his face turned ruddy, and he said relaxedly, "I'm tired, I'm so heavy. Have you eaten yet? Let's eat together."

Le Lian shook his head, "You are very light." Holding her in her arms was like a pale feather.

"Not yet, are you feeding me?" Lelian looked down at him jokingly.

Jiang Zong turned around, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, scraped a few extra shreds of meat, and fed it to Le Lian's lips: "The cook on this boat is really good, I specially hired it from Yingchun Tower, so I can't tire myself anymore , no matter how hard it is, you can’t suffer yourself.”

"Squeamish." Le Lian bent his eyes, secretly flattered and ate what Jiang Zong fed him.

He used to think he was abandoned by everyone.But Jiang Zong is special, Jiang Zong let him know that he can respond to acting like a baby.

The journey was uneventful and there were no big waves. It took ten days on the way to Chaohai. Excluding the ten days for the return trip, the time limit given by Master Hou was still three months, which should be enough.

Chaohai was really bitterly cold, Jiang Zong was wearing a thick white fox fur, holding a charcoal stove in his hand, the biting cold wind continued to penetrate into his bones, it was terribly cold.

Although he has been to countless places in his previous life, this is the first time he has come to Chaohai. Because he is too delicate and thinks it is bitterly cold here, he sends a few shopkeepers to watch over the delivery of goods, so there is no need for Jiang Zong to come here himself. suffer.

This place is dry and cold, and the dry cold wind is like a blade. When I hold the charcoal stove in my hand, no matter how hot my hand is, the back of my hand is freezing and painful.

Le Lian rubbed his hands for him: "The pier by the river is cold, and it will be much warmer when we go to the city after unloading the goods."

"Yo... this little wind, it's burrowing into the bones." Jiang Zong pulled the fox fur tightly, his teeth chattering, "My old arms and legs can't compare with you young people."

After all, thinking that he is only 26 now, he felt depressed again. It turned out that when he was young, his body was not comparable to that of young people.

The two looked at the goods first. The stone pearl powder looked ordinary, but it shone brightly in the sunlight.

Jiang Zong frowned: "Isn't this the clear water glass in our Nan'an, and it's called Shizhuzhu here?"

Le Lian checked it carefully: "Maybe it's because the names of the two places are different. The brand hand-picked by the imperial court is so loud that ordinary people dare not use it, so it is naturally precious."

Jiang Zong sneered: "Clear water glass is five hundred yuan a catty with us, but this stone pearl costs three taels a catty. It really has a price but no market."

I ordered 30 catties of stone pearls with Chaohai Shi's family. I paid half of the deposit first, and half of the 90 taels of silver, and the rest will be completed when the goods are in stock.

Stone pearls had to be mined and ground immediately, and the masters were sent to dig on the reef. It took dozens of days to dig 30 jin. During this period of time, there was nothing to do. Jiang Zong couldn't stay idle, wandering around in Chaohai City.

Chaohai is bordered by the Di tribe, and there are many big men of the Di tribe in bear skins and leopard teeth wandering around the city to sell goods, and most of the things are new gadgets that few people have seen.

The children of the Di nationality wore black bear jackets and carried baskets to sell, ran to Jiang Zong, gently tugged at the corners of Jiang Zong's clothes, blinked their big black eyes, and said crisply in unproficient Chinese: "You are beautiful! Brother, frozen pear, buy it."

The Di clan child lifted up the small basket on tiptoe, it was full of frozen black pears, and wanted Jiang Zong to taste it.

Le Lian tilted his head and rubbed the tip of his nose against Jiang Zong's earlobe: "It's a local product here, do you want to try it?"

Jiang Zong squatted down, took a frozen pear from the child of the Di clan, and took a bite. It was sweet and full of fragrance. He was about to buy two more, but the child of the Di clan stretched out his little hand and smiled slyly: " Beautiful elder brother, ten taels of silver."

Jiang Zong squinted his eyes and snorted: "Little ghost, have you learned how to kill foreigners at such a young age?"

The child laughed: "If you take a bite, it's worth ten taels of silver."

Jiang Zong was thoughtful: "All the frozen pears you sell are pork-flavored?"

The children of the Di clan were taken aback: "Pork?"

Surprised, Jiang Zong handed the frozen pear to the child: "The taste of pork is right, try it."

Surprised, the child leaned over and smelled it, took another bite, chewed it, and it still tasted like frozen pear.

Jiang Zong smiled, and stretched out his hand: "Ten taels for a bite, five taels for a sniff."

"Smelly old man!" The child ran away angrily.

Le Lian grabbed the kid, gave him a handful of copper coins, and bought two more frozen pears, wrapped them up for Jiang Zong to eat.

Jiang Zong leaned on Le Lian and ate with a smile: "The little brat is still fighting with me. His own father wasn't even born when I killed him."

Le Lian had no choice but to pinch his earlobe lightly: "Brother, you are also a child, you won't grow up."

Jiang Zong is happy.

"Try it, it's okay." Jiang Zong stuffed the last bite of pear meat into Lelian's mouth, it was cold and sweet.

Le Lian frowned: "It's not delicious. How could anyone like to eat this food."

Jiang Zong said while eating: "Little kid, for things you hate, a successful businessman must understand why others like it, and a failed businessman will question why others like it."

"I bought a batch of ice cubes and pears to transport back when I go back." Jiang Zong casually explained, "Empty cargo ships are also empty."

Le Lian understood: "It's hot in Jinzhou, so it must be popular."

Jiang Zong smiled: "Hey, I just want those in Jinzhou who have never seen the world to taste good things."

After shopping for a while, another child from the Di tribe came to sell things with a small basket, picked up a big red date, and stumbled to Jiang Zong, "Send Ziguo! Brother has a baby!"

Jiang Zong couldn't hold back the spray, and carefully picked out a few to buy, and held them in front of Le Lian, "See, Song Ziguo, Xiao Lianer, let's have a fat boy."

Le Lian said solemnly: "This place really has Song Ziguo, don't you believe it, the Di tribe has witchcraft, it's not surprising that there are such things."

Jiang Zong smiled: "Isn't this a jujube? Well, let's give birth tonight, you give birth to me? Pfft."

Le Lian: "Why don't you believe..."

-

At the same time, there are pawnshops in Jinzhou.

Jiang Heng drank tea in the pawn shop and looked through the account book. It has been half a month since the elder brother set off, and he has not sent a single word back, which made Jiang Heng very worried.

While rubbing the bridge of his nose to rest, he heard a sudden noise of people outside, a dozen or so burly men suddenly barged in at the door of the pawnshop, all of them were holding sticks, and they were menacing.

Startled, Jiang Heng quickly stood up and leaned against the wall vigilantly. The old shopkeeper next to him was even more frightened, his legs shivered, and he asked tremblingly, "Strong man... what is this for?"

A timid man came in through the door slowly, Jiang Heng still remembered him as the gambler who pawned his wedding dress last time.

The gambler was bruised and swollen, but he pointed at Jiang Heng and cursed: "Well, Brother Lei, this little bastard, he refused to give me money, so I will not pay you back your money! It's all his fault!"

Jiang Heng also knew the leader of this fierce and vicious man, the elder brother of Chengyun Bank, Lei Bao.

Jiang Heng gently pushed the old shopkeeper away, and told him to find someone in coded gestures, but he deliberately delayed, and said in a slow tone: "Brother Lei, this is a misunderstanding... I have never seen this person come before."

The gambler cursed, and immediately threw the wedding dress pawned the day before yesterday on the ground: "Fuck your grandma, brat, then you can pawn the ticket to get the money now."

Lei Bao slowly approached Jiang Heng, gesturing with the machete in his hand beside Jiang Heng's white and tender cheeks, and threatened in a low voice: "Master Xiao Jiang, he owes me 3000 taels of silver, you should know what to do..."

Jiang Heng leaned against the wall tremblingly, Lei Bao wanted to pay back the money for the gambler himself, this is nothing unexpected.

Seeing Jiang Heng hesitantly dawdling, Lei Bao suddenly raised his hand, and the huge machete slashed down the side of Jiang Heng's face with a strong wind. After cutting to the wall behind him, a strand of hair slowly fell from Jiang Heng's cheek.

Lei Bao gently took Jiang Heng's hand, threatening: "The shopkeeper's hands still have to plan...it's a pity to chop them off."

"Don't..." Jiang Heng clenched his fists, trying to take his hand away from Lei Bao, begging bitterly, "Brother Lei, I'll get you the banknote..."

Lei Bao didn't believe him, he pressed Jiang Heng's thin white hand to the ground, pulled down the machete from the wall, and suddenly raised his hand to chop.

Hearing a sharp sound breaking through the air, a gust of cold air enveloped his whole body in an instant. Jiang Heng was stunned. There was a blank in front of his eyes, and his whole body was suddenly quiet. Sweeping across Jiang Heng's cheeks, blood filled the air.

The machete in Lei Bao's hand fell to the ground suddenly, and with a crisp sound, Lei Bao's head was dislocated, slowly slipped from his neck, and rolled heavily on the ground.

Lord Sui Xiaohou stepped into the hall with a dignified face, leaned over and hugged Jiang Heng, who was already frightened out of his wits, with one hand, supported his body with his forearm, let him curl up and lean against his shoulder, and pulled the goshawk moon-chaser gun from the wall , and stood heavily on the ground.

The earth rumbled, the things on the pawnshop shelves clanged and collided, and the killing atmosphere suddenly forced dozens of big men present to retreat.

The oppressive force of God of War's aura is extremely strong, which is unimaginable for this kind of brute force. Suddenly, the legs and feet of several big men who were close to him became weak, and they knelt down to beg for mercy, and those who stood outside ran away.

The gambler kept crying and begging for mercy: "Master Hou, please forgive me, the villain will never dare again!"

Lord Hou's guards were whispering outside.

Night Breeze: "Dare to bully merchants under Lord Hou's nose, how many brains does he have?"

Ye Ying: "That's right, Mrs. Hou dares to touch her little hands, and beheading him is considered a grace."

Night Breeze: "Who is Mrs. Hou?"

Ye Ying: "Shopkeeper Xiao Jiang."

Night Breeze: "..."

Ye Ying: "...I think too much?"
