C70

Xia Li lightly pressed against the mouth of the bottle, and with a ripping sound, white mist sprayed out. The sweet fragrance of the flower filled the air and entered everyone's nostrils, Xia Li immediately pinched his nose and held his breath.

"I feel so dizzy."

"I want to sleep too."

The two boorish men lost consciousness one after another and fell to the ground. The other two men were clearly slower by half a beat as well, unable to escape from the fate of fainting.

Xia Li saw that the four of them had been put down, looked around, and confirmed that no one was around. Seizing the chance, he quickly left the village and sprinted towards the town.

In less than half an incense's time, she was already in town, wolfing down a bowl of noodles at the noodle stall. After thinking about it for a long time, she suppressed her thoughts of immediately leaving to find Ding Liang.

Just then, Xia Li saw a little beggar standing at the corner of a street. His clothes were tattered, and his entire face was dirty, only showing a pair of eyeballs moving, staring at the noodle stall, and licking his tongue from time to time.

She walked up to the little beggar, waving the money in her hand. The little beggar widened his eyes and reached out his hand to grab her.

"Promise me one thing and I'll give you these ten or so coins." Xia Li said as he held the money in his hand.

"Tell me quickly. What is it? I'm starving to death." The little beggar was a little upset as he tilted his head and asked anxiously.

"Do you know Ding Liang's hospital?" Xia Li squatted in front of the little beggar and asked.

"I know him, Grand Master Ding is a good person, he always treats us free of charge." The little beggar had a smile on his face.

"Then help me take a look. Is he still in hospital?" Xia Li approached the little beggar and asked.

"There's no need to ask. Two days ago, he had his front teeth broken by someone from the gambling den. He hasn't left his house for two days." The little beggar boy said in a low voice as he looked around cautiously, afraid that no one would hear him.

"Do you know who did it?" Xia Li's heart sank. She did not have much hope for this little beggar.

"Listening to the lord's discussion, it's someone from the gambling den. I've already answered your question. I'll take the money first!"

The little beggar took the money in her hands while Xia Li wasn't paying attention.

Xia Li was stunned, Ding Liang was beaten up by the people from the gambling house? Could it be that Rich Man Yang and the rest already knew about the painkillers? The people from the gambling den must have their eyes on her!

Xia Li's eyes were filled with tears. She did not regret that Sun Chun did not stop his persuasion this time and sneakily ran out to inquire about Ding Liang's safety. She could only blame herself for being too foolish and naive, as it implicated innocent people!

Xia Li wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes, not caring about how much makeup he had on his face. Returning to the noodle stall, he placed the money on the boss's table, stood up and quickly left.

Xia Li ran from the Red River Town all the way back to outside the Tianshui Village. Her eyes were wet from tears, she had been hiding outside the village the entire time, not daring to enter.

Waiting until night time, until the wild men guarding the village gradually dispersed. Only then did Xia Li take advantage of the night sky to rush home.

The moment she opened the courtyard door, she saw Sun Chun sitting under a large tree. He sat there alone, one person and one tree with a cup of tea.

Xia Li walked to his side and hugged him from behind, hoping that he wouldn't be angry after finding out that she had snuck away.

Sun Chun felt the person behind him, and drank all the water in the teacup in one gulp. The fingers holding the teacup slightly exerted force, and with a crisp sound, the teacup turned into a pile of white powder, and scattered all over the ground.

Xia Li was shocked, he retreated a step and was already too late to escape. Sun Chun pulled his wrist from's back.

"Trying to run?" Sun Chun turned towards Xia Li, her voice dropping to a freezing point, her eyes filled with deep disappointment.

"If he didn't run away, would you have crushed him like a teacup?" Xia Li's voice trembled a little. This was the first time she had seen Sun Chun get so angry and she was not used to it for a while.

Sun Chun sank into silence, and did not respond to Xia Li. His face was hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see what he was thinking.

"Ding Liang was injured by the people from the Rich Man Yang. He has already closed his hospital for two days." Xia Li's voice was choked with emotions, he opened his eyes wide, trying his best to release Sun Chun's control.

"Weeping doesn't solve anything." Sun Chun's cold words smashed onto the ground without a trace of warmth.

"You are right, so I went to find information on Ding Liang myself. Next, I will temporarily cut off all contact between him and me, so I don't want to implicate him anymore, and will sell the painkillers myself." Xia Li had made a new plan for the way out.

"You went to see him. What did he say?" Sun Chun's mood was a little downcast, but she still managed to calm herself down. She stared into Xia Li's eyes and engraved every word she said into the depths of her heart.

"For safety's sake, I did not personally go see him. I asked a beggar who had been cared for by the Grand Master Ding to ask for news of him. Don't worry, on my way back, I have already avoided the people from the Rich Man Yang many times." Xia Li raised his head, he stood straight and looked straight at Sun Chun.

"Is that so?" Sun Chun smiled meaningfully.

"You don't believe me?" Xia Li's self-esteem suffered, and felt wronged, but he felt like his own words were like a rock thrown into a vast ocean. It didn't make much of a splash, but instead was quickly swallowed up by the ocean and disappeared.

"It's good as long as you believe it yourself." Sun Chun left behind some vague words, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Xia Li felt a little empty in his heart, as if something had slipped out of his mind. He uncontrollably grabbed onto Sun Chun's hand, preventing him from leaving.

"Have you been waiting for me to come back?"

"You misunderstood me. I was just bored inside the house and now that I'm tired, I want to rest." Sun Chun said with his back facing her.

"I simply cannot go against my own heart. If I leave and make you angry, I will truly feel apologetic and disappoint you."

Xia Li looked at Sun Chun's back and apologized softly.

"You're overthinking it. Go back and have a good rest, and think about how to repay your debts. Escaping the Rich Man Yang is what you should take to heart the most." Sun Chun smiled and comforted Xia Li. Then he let go of her hand and walked back to his room.

Xia Li stood in the courtyard, looking at the bright and clear night moon, feeling the cool of the night, she squatted on the ground with her arms folded, her eyes blazing up, some tears flowed out from her eyes, and her stomach growled. Only then did she notice that there were dishes on the table that she loved to eat.

"You said you didn't wait for me, you liar!" The grievances in Xia Li's heart poured out, she picked up her chopsticks, and started to eat. Only then did she realize that the food was still hot, and she felt a warm current surging into her heart, giving her the courage and confidence to continue living.

Before the sky brightened, Xia Li had already left home for Nine Dragon Mountain. During this time, the people sent by the Rich Man Yang to monitor his every movement were all closely watching him, and they never let her leave their line of sight.

Carrying the basket, Xia Li picked a basket full of herbs and returned to the courtyard, closing the door behind him. He did not go out for two days, and shut the people who were following him out.

Inside the room, she sent all the medicine into the Space. She was busy preparing and storing the ingredients alone.

On the third day, she only received five painkillers, which was enough for her to get a hundred silver taels. The condition was that she needed to find a suitable buyer, and not be afraid of offending the Rich Man Yang.

Xia Li placed the painkiller inside a beautiful pouch, put it back in his sleeves, and walked out of the room.

Aside from having to eat, Lee's and Xia Qing had been in their rooms for the past few days. They had never taken a step out of the courtyard, and only Sun Chun stayed in the courtyard the entire time, sitting under the big tree, enjoying the cool air, reading books, drinking tea, and passing the spring time. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

Xia Li still broke this moment of bliss, walked to the opposite side of him and sat down. Clenching the teapot tightly, he poured himself a bowl of tea and gulped it clean, wiping the remaining tea off the corner of his mouth, and looked at Sun Chun.

"Today, I'm going out to sell painkillers and find a new buyer."

Sun Chun put down the teacup in his hand. He was not too shocked, and only spoke a few words of advice to Xia Li.

"This is equivalent to making it public, you are the owner of the painkillers, without Ding Liang as a cover, you will have a difficult time in the future."

"Then let the tempest come strike harder. The challenge is to face them head on, isn't that so?" Xia Li held his head high, his emotions was high, and his fighting strength was high.

"It's a pity about those twenty painkillers, you gave them all to Ding Liang earlier." Sun Chun's words were filled with regret. This medicine could only bring out its greatest value within a small range of circulation, and in a large environment, if it could not benefit the people and instead lead to greed and disaster, then that would be the greatest tragedy.

"Now that I think about it, it makes my heart ache. Those pills are worth no less than two hundred silver." Xia Li hugged his arms in pain, and stared at the teacup in a daze.

"Since you're not afraid of revealing your identity, then go to Ding Liang's hospital openly and bring the medicine over."

Just as Sun Chun was about to pour himself another bowl of tea, Xia Li happily held his hand and took the initiative to pour him another cup.

Rich Man Yang has his eyes on Grand Master Ding, and even if I go, I will only implicate him once more. I should look for trouble for Rich Man Yang, give him a headache, and give Grand Master Ding a chance to catch his breath. "

Xia Li said as he looked in the direction of the entrance, his eyes filled with anger.

"Who do you want to sell painkillers?"

Sun Chun could not help but ask.

"It's meaningless to say the secret." Xia Li blinked his eyes and said mysteriously.

"So, you want to go by yourself?"
