East Factory Governor

Chapter 59 Transaction ([-]rd)
The girl was so frightened that she sat down on the ground and said after a long time, "You...you came back to life?"

Qin Shuhuai said weakly, "I... didn't die in the first place."

The tone of this sentence was slightly higher, which triggered a severe cough. Qin Shuhuai had to let go of the girl's feet, propped himself up with one hand, covered his mouth with the other, and coughed for a long time.A foreign object seemed to be coughed up in his throat, and he opened his palm to see that it was a blood stain, which must have been left over from the time he vomited blood last night.

The girl was startled, rolled quickly, and said in a panic, "You...you have tuberculosis!"

Qin Shuhuai waved his hand, "No... no, cough cough cough..."

The girl said again, "Don't lie, grandma said that tuberculosis can cause you to cough up blood! Tuberculosis is also contagious, and if you get infected, you will die! Ben, Miss Ben doesn't want to die!"

Qin Shuhuai said, "You stayed with me all night last night. If I had tuberculosis, you would have been infected by now."

He was in a state of suspended animation last night because of his insanity, but his subconscious mind was always running, and he vaguely knew that there was always someone by his side, otherwise he wouldn't have conditioned reflex to grab the girl's wrist tightly. This is a martial arts practitioner. Some kind of resistance instinct.

After listening to Qin Shuhuai's words, the girl said in a crying voice, "It's over, it's over! I just said how lucky I am recently, and I made such a large sum of money for the first time. Brother, little brother, what will you do if I die!"

Qin Shuhuai was upset when he heard that, and said, "Okay, don't howl! I suffered an internal injury, and the blood is stuck in my throat."

The girl was skeptical, and kept a certain distance from Qin Shuhuai.

Now it is very difficult for Qin Shuhuai to catch her again.Out of the body's instinct to protect itself, all the true energy has been dissipated last night.It is estimated that it will take at least seven or eight days to gather again.In addition, my viscera, six fu organs, meridians and eight meridians have all been strongly impacted by true qi, and my internal injuries are extremely serious. I'm afraid it won't heal at all in a month or two.

This "The First Chapter of Enlightenment" is really powerful, but it's a pity that my cultivation is too shallow, I was a little bit brave last night, if I use the conventional method to practice to the Xuantong state first, and then use the "qi beads" to open up the Renmai, maybe it will be better.Fortunately, he is still alive, as long as he is alive, everything still has a chance.

Last night, I lay down all night and no one came to rescue me. It should be that the men in black and the Jianghe gang couldn't find me.It’s okay, there are always a few pairs of eyes staring at the days behind, always scruples about this and that, and feel tired.Anyway, there are still some days before returning to Beijing for the antidote, so why not find a quiet place to recuperate, and see what else you can learn by the way.

So he said to the girl, "You stole the 1000 taels of silver, and I will report it to the police later."

A trace of guilt flashed in the girl's bright eyes, but she still pretended to be disdainful and said, "Who said it was yours? Will it agree if you call it?"

Qin Shuhuai said, "The bank notes are all well-documented. Whoever exchanged the silver for this bank note is clearly registered. Just find that person and ask him who he gave the bank note to. It’s enough to investigate layer by layer. 1000 taels is a big ticket, and it should be found out quickly without the hands of a few people. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who steals 120 guan or more will be punished.”

120 guan is 120 taels, and asking to hang means hanging.

The girl's complexion changed drastically after she said a few words. After thinking for a long time, she said guiltily, "I'm a member of the rivers and lakes, and the court has nothing to do with it."

Qin Shuhuai said, "Well, the Jianghu is in charge of the Jianghu. I also happen to be a member of the Jianghu. When I go back, I will ask someone to kill you. By the way, there are also your grandma and your three younger brothers! Don't think I can't find you." When it comes to you, people from the rivers and lakes are much more efficient than the government."

When he said this, Qin Shuhuai's eyes were cold and his tone was as cold as frost.After the baptism of several killings, once the hostility in his body is emitted, it is extremely thick and makes people shudder.

The girl was startled when she heard this, hesitated for a while, and finally took out the banknote and returned it to Qin Shuhuai, saying, "Then I will return the banknote to you now, we will not owe each other, and we can live in peace from now on. "

Qin Shuhuai took the bank note, and then said to the girl, "It can be seen that you need money very much. So, let's make a deal, shall we?"

"What deal?"

"You help me find a place that can shelter me from the wind and rain, and take care of my three meals a day. After a few days, I will leave when my injury improves. The 1000 taels of silver can be yours in a fair manner."

"So simple? This is 1000 taels!" The girl was a little uneasy.

Qin Shuhuai nodded, "Of course it's true. My life is worth more than a mere 1000 taels."

The girl immediately said, "Okay, then it's a deal. However, we have to make a written statement later."

Qin Shuhuai smiled lightly and said, "Yes."

The girl said again, "However, I can't carry you by myself. Just wait, I'll call my three younger brothers to come and carry you to my house."

After speaking, the girl immediately turned around, ran wildly with her long legs, and disappeared into the woods not long after.

Qin Shuhuai was also surprised when he saw this, this girl was obviously not angry, but she was able to run so fast, she could hardly lose to the Olympic sprint champion!

After lying in the grass for about an hour, I finally saw the girl bringing the three little boys over.Of these three boys, the eldest is about thirteen or fourteen years old, the elder is about eleven or twelve, and the third is only eight or nine.

The four of them also took a bed board, tied two thick ropes to the head of the bed, lifted Qin Shuhuai to the bed board, and pulled him forward.When they encountered a ditch, the four of them put down the rope and carried it.After working so hard for a long time, he was finally carried to a small village at the foot of the mountain.The village was very small, with only seven or eight households. The villagers working in the fields all came to help when they saw him, and worked together to carry him to the girl's home.

Not surprisingly for Qin Shuhuai, the girl's house was indeed barren.Apart from a few small benches, a table, and a dark stove, there were only two beds left in the room.But the poor are poor, but the house is neatly organized, clean and tidy.

In the room, sat a white-haired old woman, presumably this is the grandma the girl mentioned.

The old woman was kind-hearted, dressed in plain but decent clothes, and leaning on a crutch, which was dark in color, and seemed to be quite old.

Seeing Qin Shuhuai coming in, the old woman got up tremblingly, and said to Qin Shuhuai, "I'm old, Mr. Qi, I've seen you."

Whether it's etiquette or the tone of neither humble nor overbearing, they are very generous and decent, without the slightest appearance of a peasant woman.

After the four of them carried Qin Shuhuai to the bed, the old woman came up again and said, "My lord, let's rest in peace and recuperate here. Poor mountain people are worthless, but there is always something to eat and drink."

Her wooden crutches were leaning against the bed, not far from Qin Shuhuai's head. Qin Shuhuai smelled a faint fragrance and felt quite refreshed.

In his previous life, Qin Shuhuai had also smelled this smell, and knew that this smell came from a kind of precious wood—agarwood.
