stealing from you

In Ye Zhou's sleep, he felt someone touching his arm, gently caressing it like a feather. When he opened his eyes, he saw Lingsheng lying beside him, his fingertips running back and forth along his arm.

"Hey." Lingsheng met his eyes and said with a smile, "I woke up earlier than you this time."

Ye Zhou looked at his smooth back and reached out to pull the quilt up.

"Your hands are no different from normal people." Ling Sheng shook his hands, looking over and over again.

Ye Zhou let him fiddle with it, and said softly: "It's not a problem to pick you up, but if you move, you will loose your strength, and the moves will deviate...it won't last long."

"It's not easy to recover the hands that have been useless for ten years." Ling Sheng stuffed his hands under the quilt, "so we need to take good care of them."

The two embraced and chatted for a while, and then Cang Xue and Shan Chensan came outside the door after a night of fierce fighting.

Shan Chensan knocked on the door and said in a very apologetic tone, "Young Master Ye, I'm sorry to bother you...we are leaving."

It was Ling Sheng who spoke: "Shouldn't we go back to Jinghu Villa together?"

"No." Shan Chensan lowered his head, "We're going back to Tianshan. I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. Mr. Ye didn't blame you, did he?"

Ling Sheng didn't take it seriously: "I'm fine, you just need to pay more attention in the future."

Shan Chensan said goodbye politely, and then left with Cang Xue.

Ye Zhou's bracelet was on Lingsheng's waist, and he touched it restlessly: "What about you? Do you want to leave, or..."

"Let's go." Lingsheng blurted out, "What if the boss here comes back to collect the money?" Thinking of this possibility, he immediately got up to look for clothes.

Ye Zhou: "..."

After leaving Xiao Yaodu, they slowly returned to Jinghu Villa, and happened to meet Shen Yan and Nie Tianxing who were passing by here again to buy goods.

The latter and Ning Chengtian fought indiscriminately, and it was dizzying to see each other coming and going.

"Where are you going to buy this time?" Yun Heng was chatting with Shen Yan, "I see you have brought a lot of followers."

Shen Yan put down his teacup, and replied: "It's said to be a purchase, but it's actually to discuss business, but this time the goods are a bit special, I haven't seen them before, just in case, I brought more people."

Ling Sheng supported his head and looked at the discussion over there, and casually asked, "Why is it so special?"

"The goods this time are medicinal materials, which are not available in the Central Plains." Shen Yan replied.

Ye Zhou became curious: "What's the name of the medicinal material?"

Shen Yan said: "The local people call it Sai ginseng. It is whisker-shaped, one finger long, and the whole body is black, shaped like a tree root."

"Sai ginseng..." Ling Sheng smiled, "This name is really easy to understand."

"The efficacy is similar to that of ginseng, but its medicinal power is stronger." Shen Yan said, "but its price is more than a little bit cheaper than ginseng."

Yun Heng raised his eyebrows, and Ye Zhou thought about it.

"The fight is over." Only Ling Sheng noticed that Ning Chengtian and Nie Tianxing were walking towards the end of the competition.

Nie Tianxing jumped over, covered in sweat, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Ah, it's been a long time since I played so well."

Shen Yan glanced at him: "You can fight here forever."

"Let's finish the business soon." Nie Tianxing wiped his sweat with Shen Yan's sleeve.

Ye Zhou suddenly said: "Can you take us with you? Just right, I want to see the so-called 'Sai Ginseng'."

Shen Yan was snatching his sleeve back from Nie Tianxing's clutches, he was taken aback when he heard this.

Ling Sheng finally returned from a wandering mind, "Us?"

Ye Zhou smiled and nodded, "Yes, we."

Just like that, Ling Sheng got into the carriage without knowing why, and followed Shen Yan's carriage team to move forward slowly.

In the carriage, Ye Zhou leisurely made tea.

Ling Sheng's face turned pale, and he asked Ye Zhou: "Why do you suddenly want to accompany Big Brother Shen to buy goods?"

"I'm a little concerned about the herbs in Shen Yan's mouth." Ye Zhou lowered his eyes and said, "It's quite similar to the herbs I read in a book many years ago."

"You mean race ginseng?"

Ye Zhou looked serious, "In that book, it has nothing to do with ginseng. It is a chronic poison that overdraws the vitality of the human body. People who eat it can work day and night. Once the effect of the medicine wears off, they will be exhausted and collapse." and die."

Ling Sheng was dumbfounded, "Brother Shen bought the same thing this time, right?!"

"It's not too late to make a conclusion after seeing the medicinal materials." Ye Zhou poured a cup of tea, and the tea reflected his frowning, "I hope I'm just thinking too much."

After the convoy entered the city, it became dark, and someone greeted Shen Yan and his party.

The one who came to greet him was the merchant who was in charge of this batch of goods. Shen Yan called him Boss Qian. This man was dressed in gold, silver and jewelry, and he could dazzle people's eyes during the day.

"Master Shen, it's a pleasure to meet you." Boss Qian showed his big yellow teeth and said happily, "I'm really surprised that you can come in person."

Shen Yan said: "It's better to do business by yourself."

"Yes, yes, the boss of Shen's family knows how to do business." After flattering him, Boss Qian led them to the restaurant, "Let's have dinner first, and I'll take you to inspect the goods tomorrow."

Lingsheng tossed and turned in the carriage and lost his appetite. Ye Zhou filled some soup and insisted on feeding him two bowls before giving up.

"Who are these two?" Boss Qian kept sneaking glances at Ye Zhou and Lingsheng.

Shen Yan was eating Nie Tianxing's food, and he replied, "They are my friends, they are from the Jianghu just like Tianxing."

When Boss Qian heard this, he immediately withdrew his gaze and said seriously, "The martial arts must be very good."

After hearing this, Ling Sheng rolled his eyes.

They lived in the inn at night, and Shen's family was so rich that he bought the whole inn. Lingsheng finally slept soundly, and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow. He didn't even open his eyes when Ye Zhou undressed him.

Next door, Nie Tianxing sat on a stool and wiped his favorite sword.

While taking off his clothes, Shen Yan asked, "Why is it so quiet today?" I've always been used to listening to his chatter, but now I'm not used to it.

"Don't you think I talk too much?" Nie Tianxing put away the sword quickly, and the sound of the sword returning to its sheath was very clear.

Shen Yan hung his clothes on the screen, and he walked over to lie on Nie Tianxing's back and said, "I'll be thankful if you can keep it for three days."

"Hey, hello." Nie Tianxing's sword twirled and flew up, flying to the bedside and hanging on the hook of the bed curtain as if it had eyes.

Nie Tianxing turned around and hugged Shen Yan to the bed, "You'd better go to bed and sleep, where the hell are you going to see your goods tomorrow."

Shen Yan clung to his shoulders, and sighed with a smile: "You are making a fuss out of a molehill."

"I don't know why." Tucking Shen Yan into the quilt, Nie Tianxing rubbed his brows and said, "My heart is not at ease."

"Go to sleep." Shen Yan pulled him into the bed together.

One night without dreams, the next day is a sunny day.

Lingsheng stretched out and went out, just in time to see Nie Tianxing squatting on the railing of the corridor, eating an apple.

"Hey, did Xiao Lingsheng sleep well last night?" Nie Tianxing greeted.

Lingsheng shrugged: "Not bad."

"Boss Qian is coming soon." Shen Yan from downstairs shouted.

The speed solved the breakfast, and the two carriages drove slowly on the deserted avenue. Ling Sheng sat on the roof of the carriage to enjoy the breeze, and refused to get into the carriage again.

"Lingsheng, would you like some tea?" Ye Zhou's voice came.

"No." Ling Sheng said coolly.

Nie Tianxing laughed out loud, "Does Xiao Lingsheng want to ride a horse with me?"

Lingsheng felt that riding a horse was too tiring, and it would be more comfortable to lie on the roof of the car, so he declined.

In the car, Ye Zhou and Shen Yan drank tea and had a heart-to-heart chat. The former sighed, "After all, I'm still a child."

Shen Yan shook his head helplessly: "You dote on him too much."

"Is it."

"Is not it."

"..."

Ling Sheng couldn't help knocking on the roof of the car: "Please speak humanly." The two people drinking tea below all smiled.

When they got to the place, Boss Qian asked Shen Yan and the others to get off the car.

Ling Sheng couldn't help curling his lips when he looked at the herbal medicine shop in front of him with no village or shop behind him.

"Master Shen, please take a look." Boss Qian Lingchen said that he entered a yard where herbs were dried. There were large and small baskets inside, and the dustpan on the shelf was filled with black root-shaped herbs.

Ling Sheng couldn't help picking up one and smelling it, but the tall man who was arranging the herbs yelled at him: "Don't move around, kid!"

Ye Zhou pulled Lingsheng back, "I'm sorry, he was just curious."

The tall man didn't say anything, and entered the house with a basket of herbs.

Lingsheng turned to look at Ye Zhou, but Ye Zhou smiled slightly, and there was a handful of "Sai Ginseng" in his palm.

"..." Forgot that this person belonged to the thief's ancestors.

Over there, Boss Qian was eloquent and spitting to explain the benefits of the "Sai Ginseng" to Shen Yan. After Shen Yan listened silently, he picked up one and asked, "Where did you find this thing?"

Boss Qian immediately said proudly: "An old doctor accidentally brought them out of the mountains, and I happened to meet them, so I ordered people to look for them across the mountains and mountains. The heaven paid off, and brought back a batch, and then I spent a lot of money on them." Plant them out, no, the first batch of this year is all here."

"Oh?" Shen Yan nodded after listening, "If that's the case, then let me see the medicinal effect of this ginseng. Seeing is believing. I found a few weak patients here. Is there a place to boil water?"

Ling Sheng finally knew who the person in the other carriage was, and it turned out that they were all patients brought by Shen Yan.

These people are all voluntary, and Shen Yan will give them a large sum of money after the matter is completed, so this group of people who seem to be walking staggeringly without any strength can be called vigorous when they drink the medicine.

Ling Sheng squatted in front of a medicine stove and looked at the boiling "Sai ginseng", couldn't help scooping up a spoonful, smelled it, the smell was not very pungent, but the black medicinal soup gave people a bad feeling.

"Little brother is strong and strong, so he doesn't need this thing." Boss Qian said to Lingsheng.

Ling Sheng was about to put down the spoon, when he was suddenly curious: "What will happen to normal people if they drink it?"

Boss Qian replied with a smile: "It's nothing, at most I won't be able to sleep all night."

"... Oh." Lingsheng just drank a spoonful of soup made from ginseng in front of Boss Qian.

Boss Qian wiped off his cold sweat, and walked away awkwardly.

Ye Zhou saw it, walked over, frowned and said, "How can you drink indiscriminately?"

"Alright." Lingsheng made a gesture, "Didn't you stop me too?"

That's because he knew that Boss Qian was not stupid enough to harm others in broad daylight.

After a while, those few patients who were originally weak in limbs were full of energy, and all of them were alive and well, expressing that they were full of energy from top to bottom.

Seeing this, Shen Yan waved his hand: "Bring the contract, I want this batch of goods."

Boss Qian's eyes were so bright that they could be used as lanterns, and he immediately brought the contract, which they signed on the spot.

On the way back, Ye Zhou checked Ling Sheng's pulse frequently, and he was relieved to confirm that he was fine.

At night, Lingsheng really couldn't fall asleep, he was jumping up and down, his energy was not good enough.

Ye Zhou took his pulse again. Apart from the faster pulse due to excitement, there was nothing strange about it.

"Let you drink medicine indiscriminately." Ye Zhou knocked his head, "Lie down if you can't sleep, don't jump on the bed."

Lingsheng couldn't help but sit up after lying down for a long time, "I just don't want to sleep!"

Ye Zhou was about to fall asleep, but when he woke up with such a jolt, he opened his eyes, "Do you need me to knock you out?"

"...No need." Lingsheng touched his neck and lay down obediently.

In the middle of the night, Lingsheng was still not asleep, and there were signs of becoming more awake. He didn't dare to wake Ye Zhou, so he carefully removed the quilt, sat cross-legged, and planned to use his energy to dissolve the medicinal power of Sai ginseng.

As a result, as soon as he exercised his skills, Lingsheng's energy and blood surged. The body conditioned by Yusheng instinctively resisted Sai ginseng, causing him to spurt a mouthful of blood. In an instant, all the strength in his body was drained, and he couldn't even sit still.

"Lingsheng?" Ye Zhou woke up, he got up and lit the lamp, then quickly went back to the bed and hugged Lingsheng, patted his pale cheek: "Lingsheng, Lingsheng?!"

Lingsheng waved his hand: "No, nothing, I'm much better now."

Ye Zhou checked his pulse, and it was true that the pulse was stable and there was no serious problem.

"Tell Brother Shen..." Lingsheng gasped, and said, "Ginseng competition is not a good thing." He leaned on Ye Zhou's chest and said, "This thing will kill people."

Ye Zhou wiped his blood, changed his clothes, told him to lie down and sleep obediently, and put on his clothes to knock on the door of Shen Yan and Nie Tianxing's room.

When Shen Yan heard about this, he immediately came to visit Lingsheng, Lingsheng still couldn't get out of bed, lying on the bed half dead, looking like I was so weak that I was going to die, he said angrily: "Brother Shen...I feel bad. "

Shen Yan said guiltily, "It's my fault for making you suffer."

"...Mmm." Lingsheng rolled his eyes and said, "Then you come back after finishing your work and bring me something delicious. I want to eat roast chicken."

Shen Yan: "..."

Nie Tianxing turned to Ye Zhou and said, "He can eat roast chicken, he must be fine."

Of course Ye Zhou knew that Lingsheng was faking it, but he also felt distressed. Last night Lingsheng vomited blood and almost scared him to death, so he didn't expose it.

Shen Yan said that after going to Boss Qian to settle the accounts, he would bring Lingsheng back with roast chicken. The next day, after visiting Lingsheng, he pulled Nie Tianxing out aggressively, and Ye Zhou stayed with Lingsheng.

Ling Sheng immediately lifted the quilt and got out of bed to relieve himself, "I'm suffocating, Brother Shen, if you drag on any longer, I'm going to wet the bed."

Ye Zhou laughed and said, "If you want roast chicken, I'll just buy it. Why bother?"

"That's different." Ling Sheng said, "The best food is what you don't spend your own money on."

...that seems to make sense.

Shen Yan and Nie Tianxing went away for a day and didn't come back, Ye Zhou faintly felt that something was wrong.

"The people who accompanied him didn't come back either." Ling Sheng sat on the window sill and gnawed some fruit. He learned this virtue from Nie Tianxing, and he felt that he had the demeanor of a young hero.

Ye Zhou hugged him down: "Go back and lie down."

Lingsheng spat out the fruit core, "I told you I'm fine, it's just a mouthful of blood, how many times have you fucked me all over the bed, okay, why didn't I see you so nervous then?"

Ye Zhou was shaken by his direct words, he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you want to stream more?"

Lingsheng jumped out of his arms, he looked for clothes to put on, and said righteously: "Brother Shen and the others haven't come back for a day, you still have the heart to think about such things, dirty!"

The obscene Mr. Ye leaned on the table and sighed.

"Let's go, let's go find them." Ling Sheng fastened his belt, "Brother Shen has so much money, there is no way he can hide from me for a roast chicken."

Ye Zhou couldn't help laughing out loud: "You think too much."

"That means they are in trouble." Lingsheng's eyes revealed a shrewd light.

Ye Zhou naturally thought of this, he just felt that it would not be good to go hastily, he said: "There is still an hour and a half."

Ling Sheng didn't understand: "Huh?"

"There is still an hour and a half before it gets dark." Ye Zhou said, "Put on night clothes, I have two sets in my bag."

Unexpectedly, Ye Zhou would bring night clothes. After taking out two sets from the bag, Ling Sheng said in surprise, "You knew we would use them?!"

"Prepare for a rainy day." Ye Zhou rubbed his head, "You still have a lot to learn."

"Cut." Ling changed her clothes unhappily.

As night fell, the Wanjia lights came on, and the two figures of Ye passed over the low eaves. Even if someone saw it, they would only think it was a passing bird, and they couldn't tell that it was two people at all.
