[Comprehensive martial arts] Thief plan

Xie Xing was sitting in the hall, sipping the sweet soup cooked by the chef of the Hua family, and thanking Hua Manlou while drinking.He didn't seem to be too frightened, his face was fine, and even his habitual frowning expression didn't change when he was eating.

Xie Ling, who was standing outside the hall door and saw this scene, almost burst into tears again, but she tried her best to restrain herself.

As soon as Xie Xing looked up, he saw the scene of his master helping his sister to walk in. He became anxious immediately. He didn't care about drinking the soup, so he jumped off the chair and ran over, "Sister, what's wrong?"

Xie Ling touched his head, "I'm fine."

"Sit down first." Chu Liuxiang looked at the two of them, sighed, and helped Xie Ling to the chair beside her.

In fact, she was not seriously injured in the thrilling fight just now, and the sword closest to her was even stopped by Chu Liuxiang. Compared with being pierced by that sword, the bone at the ankle was shifted. , does not seem to be particularly unbearable.

Huamanlou made them serve hot tea before asking Xie Ling if she was injured. There is a doctor in Huafu, although he may not be the best doctor in the world, but he should be able to help.

He spoke modestly, but both Xie Ling and Chu Liuxiang knew that the doctor's medical skills must be good.

Otherwise, with the Hua family's way of hospitality, I'm afraid they wouldn't take the initiative to mention this at all.

In fact, Xie Ling knew how to treat it to this extent, but she was born so afraid of pain that it was absolutely impossible for her to do it herself.

Knowing that she hurt her ankle, Xie Xing's eyes turned red, "Sister also met an assassin?"

Xie Ling cried a lot, and her mood has recovered a lot, and she can calmly comfort him, "It's okay, it's not serious."

Just when Xie Xing was about to say something, an angry voice suddenly came from outside.

"Is Xiangshuai here?"

Xie Ling heard the reputation, and saw a middle-aged man strolling into the flower hall. He was wearing a black dress wrapped in gold trim, and his temples were dyed white. It was all forgotten by her.

Chu Liuxiang noticed her strange expression and was a little curious, but she never asked.

He raised his hand and saluted the person who walked in, "Master Hua."

"Xiang Shuai is here, and Hua is welcome." The middle-aged man finished talking to Chu Liuxiang, and then looked down at her, "Is this Xie Xiaoyou's sister?"

No matter how stupid Xie Ling was, she guessed his identity, she didn't dare to neglect, she wanted to stand up and express her thanks to him, but Chu Liuxiang held her down when she moved a little.

Chu Liuxiang answered for her: "Yes, but when I came here just now, I was careless on the way and I injured Miss Xie a little bit. Miss Xie is inconvenient to move. Please forgive me, Master Hua."

"Injuried?"

"I've already sent someone to call for a doctor." Hua Manlou interjected at the right time, "Don't worry, Daddy."

Xie Ling was still immersed in the shock when she saw Master Hua's face before, and the doctor Hua Manlou sent to invite had already arrived.

Because the injured ankle was always inconvenient to treat in this hall, Hua Manlou was careful and asked the maid to take her to the right side room to rest. Chu Liuxiang couldn't hold back when she saw that she was going to jump all the way across. The corners of her lips curled up, "Let me hug and thank you girl."

Xie Ling: "..."

"You can do it too," he added.

She thought about the effect of the two steps she tried to take on the way here, but she nodded and accepted Chu Liuxiang's kindness, "I'm sorry."

"Qitong also go together, if there is anything that needs help, Miss Xie just tell him." Master Hua suddenly said.

"What Dad said is true." Hua Manlou smiled and walked forward.

After being reminded by Master Hua calling Huamanlou, Xie Ling remembered those specific character designs that she had forgotten for 800 years. Yes, there seem to be several older brothers on Huamanlou, right?

and so--

"Young lady's ankle injury is not serious, but it may be a little painful to treat." The doctor who came in with Hua Manlou looked at her ankle and said, "If the pain is really unbearable, young lady, It’s okay to call out.”

Xie Ling withdrew her mind and looked down at her horribly swollen ankle. After taking a deep breath, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay, you can do it."

The pain is really painful, after all, the bone has shifted, and moving it back is equivalent to re-experiencing the pain when the thief grabbed the foot and twisted it.

When the doctor did it, Xie Ling's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her hands were tightly grasping the bed sheet under her body, not daring to let go for a moment.

Xie Xing didn't dare to take a breath, squatting on the side of the bed and staring at her expression, as if he was more scared than her.

Fortunately, the process wasn't too long. After enduring the most painful moment, Xie Ling also recovered a lot.

Speaking of it, I have to be grateful for the menstrual period some time ago, which allowed her to recover a little bit of pain tolerance, although it may still be less than half of what it was before time travel.

"Sister, are you okay?" Xie Xing still looked nervous.

Xie Ling wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, "Okay, I'm really fine, isn't it here?"

"Master lied to me, he said he wouldn't let you lose a single hair!"

Xie Ling: "...really still alive?"

She really didn't expect Chu Liuxiang to make such a guarantee to Xie Xing. It seems that Chu Liuxiang really cares about this apprentice.

But obviously Xie Xing still disliked him for hurting her ankle, grinning and saying that Master is a liar.

Hua Manlou couldn't stop laughing, "Sister A Ling is fine now."

As soon as he made a sound, Xie Ling remembered the thing she had been thinking about before the doctor took action. After hesitating for a while, she opened her mouth and asked, "Do you have... an elder brother who is about 27 or [-] years old?"

Hua Manlou was taken aback, nodded and said, "Yes, sister knows my brother? Which brother is it?"

"...I don't know who it is either."

"27 years old, either my eldest brother or my second brother."

"He looks very similar to Master Hua, it can be said that he was carved out of the same mold." Xie Ling smiled, "That's why I was surprised when I saw Master Hua in the flower hall."

This time, it was the maid who was standing beside Huamanlou who answered, "Then I guess it's the eldest son, and the second son looks more like a madam."

"I think so." Hua Manlou also nodded, "So sister A Ling knows my elder brother?"

"Well, he did me a favor, about five or six years ago, but I never knew his name."

Xie Ling said while recalling the scene at that time, still couldn't help but sigh: "Thanks to your elder brother, otherwise I might not be alive today."

Hearing these words, Xie Xing almost jumped up, "Sister, what did you say?!"

Hua Manlou was also curious, "What did my elder brother do for sister A Ling?"

If it weren't for tonight, that incident could probably be regarded as the most thrilling thing Xie Ling has experienced so far.

She was only in her teens at that time, and she used the money left by her parents to support Xie Xing for two years, but no matter how frugal she was, if she didn't earn money, the money would run out sooner or later.

After much deliberation, Xie Ling decided to make some "novel" pastries and sell them on the street. In order to make money quickly, she inquired about the prices of several pastry shops, and lowered her own price very low.

Thinking about it now, this kind of behavior really deserves a beating, and she didn't know what was going on in her head at the time, but she was squatting opposite the largest pastry shop in Yangzhou City to sell the pastries she made.

Naturally, it sold well at first, but after a few days, the owner of the pastry shop couldn't take it anymore, checked her details, and found out that she had no father, no mother, and no one to support her, so he brought a group of servants out beat her up.

The beating was actually not too heavy, but at that time Xie Ling was only a girl in her teens, and after two years of frugal living, she was already thinner than ordinary people, and she was beaten up by those strong boys. Hit, almost unable to slow down.

It was Hua Manlou's elder brother who stopped them because he couldn't see it.

Xie Ling was already in a semi-comatose state at that time, and she didn't even hear clearly how he negotiated with the pastry shop owner. When she woke up, she was already on the couch in Tianxiang Building.

The young man sitting at the table had picturesque eyes and a gentle tone, "Are you awake?"

At that time, Xie Ling had a big brain hole. Seeing the magnificent and exquisite furnishings beside her, she thought that this man would sell her to the Goulan Courtyard after saving her. She was so frightened that she hugged his leg and cried to him that she still had The younger brother needs to be raised.

Although it is very funny in retrospect, she did cry with tears all over her face at that time, and she spoke sincerely.Until the young man couldn't hold back and laughed, he stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, "Where do you want to go, I think you look very bad, I just brought you here for a meal, not to mention you are dizzy, I want to send you I don’t even know where you live when you go home.”

...so embarrassing.

Fortunately, the other party was a really kind person, and he didn't care about her nonsense, and even helped her up and let her sit down.

Xie Ling still remembers that the person ordered her the most famous lion's head with crab powder and braised silver carp head in Tianxianglou. They were so delicious that she almost swallowed her tongue.

"Eat slowly, there is still enough."

Listening to his gentle tone, Xie Ling wished she could squat down and cry again. It is true that there is true affection and love in the world.

The young man treated her to a meal and sent her home. Before he left, he rubbed her head once more, praising her for supporting her younger brother by herself. Finally, he asked her if she would like to work as a helper in the medical center. Maybe she was a little tired. Because the doctor in the medical center is very old, she has to come to fetch medicine and run errands.

Xie Ling was so moved that she couldn't speak, she nodded immediately, "Yes!"

"That's good, you can wait for me in Huichun Hall tomorrow."

Huichuntang is Dr. Sun's clinic. Xie Ling went there full of hope. Dr. Sun also seemed to know the situation in her home, and accepted her without asking any further questions.

But she failed to wait for the young man who told her to wait for him in Huichuntang.

Later, Xie Ling also asked Dr. Sun, and Dr. Sun said that he didn't know the person she mentioned, but a young man hurriedly sent a bag of silver that morning, asking him to accept a little girl surnamed Xie here. helper.

After getting this answer, Xie Ling didn't bother anymore.

At least she knew that the young man wanted to help her sincerely, and that he didn't come later, maybe he was delayed by something, and later——

Afterwards, a well-meaning person like him who spent a lot of money probably forgot about it.

Xie Ling didn't feel that she was the only one he had saved, so she quickly accepted the possibility that the other party might not remember.

Huichuntang is indeed very busy, but it is a stable job for her. Except that she still can't distinguish the properties of most of the traditional Chinese medicines like before time travel, her life as a helper in Huichuntang can be said to be very smooth.

Xie Xing didn't know about it, and hearing her mention it now, she was so frightened that she almost cried again; Hua Manlou nodded thoughtfully, "I see."

"Yes, so I really want to thank you big brother." Xie Ling paused, "Is he in this house now?"

"Not here." Hua Manlou replied, "Elder brother has stayed in Jinling since he went to Jinling to take part in the examination five years ago."

"...I see." Xie Ling felt a little regretful, "Forget it, anyway, it's the same for you to convey my thanks."

"No need." Hua Manlou smiled, "Brother, although he has stayed in Jinling since he was an official, he will always come back during the Chinese New Year. Sister A Ling will come to see him when the time comes."

Hearing what he said with certainty, Xie Ling could only nod her head in response, "Okay."

It's already halfway through the twelfth lunar month, and that playboy should be back soon.
