Endless money to spend?
Xiao Ba’s dark, rolling eyes swiveled vigorously in their sockets a few times. Both afraid and surprised, he clutched Luo Yang’s sleeve and asked, “Brother, what did you do? Why will we have endless money to spend? You didn’t do something you shouldn’t have, did you? Don’t scare me—I’m afraid!”
Many times, Luo Yang couldn’t understand what exactly was packed in Xiao Ba’s head—a jumbled mess of strange and peculiar things, but none of it used for cleverness. He was dull and foolish.
Luo Yang was too lazy to explain it clearly to him—he wouldn’t understand anyway.
So he simply said, “In any case, it won’t cost you your life. Just obediently follow your brother, and I guarantee you’ll eat well and drink well.”
Having said that, he patted Xiao Ba’s shoulder!
He let him sit and continue eating meat.
Luo Yang thought to himself again, wondering how Ji Yunshu was doing now. By rights, he should go thank her for her earlier reminder. Otherwise, how could he have hooked such a big fish?
“Xiao Ba, you keep eating. I’m going out for a bit.”
“Mm, go ahead.”
Xiao Ba stuffed meat in his mouth.
…
At this moment, Ji Yunshu was still sleeping in bed. Because her clothes were soaked through, the cold had penetrated her bones. After reaching the inn and lying down, she couldn’t hold on anymore. Now she was curled up under the blanket, her whole body trembling, her lips pale white.
She had no strength at all!
Luo Yang walked to her door and raised his hand to knock. “Miss Ji?”
He called several times, but no one responded.
“Miss Ji? Are you there?”
He tried to push the door, but it was locked from inside, proving Ji Yunshu was indeed inside. But if she was there, why didn’t she open the door? Even if she didn’t open it, she should at least respond.
Unless—
Luo Yang had a bad premonition. He forcefully pounded on the door several times, shouting urgently.
The inn’s waiter quickly ran over and said, “Young master, don’t be so loud. Don’t disturb other guests.”
“Get lost!” Luo Yang didn’t care.
The waiter said, “How can you be like this? Running to someone’s door and shouting like this—believe it or not, I’ll get the innkeeper to throw you out?”
This threat really meant nothing to Luo Yang!
He was so anxious he was losing his rationality. He directly raised his foot and kicked at the door.
“Bang!”
The door was smashed open.
The waiter was dumbfounded.
Luo Yang quickly rushed inside.
Only the waiter’s shout could be heard from outside: “Someone come! Someone’s here causing trouble!”
In an instant, all the workers from downstairs charged up. Those eating and staying at the inn also looked this way.
Luo Yang rushed in and saw Ji Yunshu lying on the bed, curled up.
“Miss Ji?”
He rushed to the bedside and discovered her whole body was trembling, her face deathly pale. He touched the back of his hand to her forehead—it was burning hot.
“You’re this sick, yet you still grit your teeth and say nothing. Tell me, why are you so stubborn?” Luo Yang scooped her up from the bed in one motion and rushed out.
Yes, she was too stubborn—even more stubborn than Jingrong. Until the very last moment, she would never open her mouth to cry out in pain.
At this moment, she vaguely felt someone holding her light, floating body. Luo Yang’s voice rang in her ears. She gasped for breath and struggled to open her eyes. Hazily, she saw Luo Yang’s extremely anxious face. Gradually…
That face seemed to transform!
It became the person she wanted to see day and night!
“Jingrong, Jingrong…”
Her dry throat repeatedly uttered weak sounds.
Luo Yang heard her seem to say something. While carrying her out the door and downstairs, he asked, “What are you saying? What bronze or not bronze? You’re this sick now—if you’re not treated, you’ll die!”
“Jing…”
She had no more strength and fainted.
Seeing her faint, Luo Yang shouted, “Don’t sleep! Don’t sleep!”
At this moment, the people in the inn blocked him!
That waiter from before stood aggressively in front of him with other workers behind him.
“You brat! You smashed our inn’s door and want to run?”
“Beat him to death!”
“Get him!”
“Wait!” Luo Yang backed away holding Ji Yunshu. Right now, his heart was burning with anxiety, and he was blocked by these people. He said, “Hurry and move aside! Human life is at stake! As for your door, naturally someone will compensate you.”
The “someone” he mentioned referred to the Wen brothers.
The people in the inn didn’t care. The person who kicked the door was Luo Yang, and they were determined to make him pay.
“If you don’t compensate us with silver, you’re not leaving.”
“You…” Luo Yang was both angry and anxious.
Such a big commotion attracted the attention of people in the inn.
After Wen Che left Luo Yang’s room, he returned to his own room to watch over Wen Yu. Suddenly he heard noise from outside.
He asked Shu Tian, “What’s happening outside?”
“This subordinate will go look.”
As soon as Shu Tian opened the door, he saw the scene outside.
Why was Luo Yang holding Miss Ji?
And why was he blocked by the inn’s people?
He quickly turned back to report to Wen Che. “Young Master, it’s Luo Yang. He’s holding Miss Ji and is currently blocked by the inn’s people.”
“What?”
Wen Che stood up and went out. Seeing the situation outside, he was also confused.
“What’s going on?”
Shu Tian said, “I don’t know, but it looks like Miss Ji has fainted?”
Just as he was speaking, they heard Luo Yang shout loudly, “Can’t you see she’s sick? If something happens to her, you’ll be committing murder! Move aside! I need to take her to see a physician.”
Miss Ji was sick?
Wen Che looked carefully. Ji Yunshu’s face was indeed deathly pale, beads of sweat on her forehead.
The inn’s waiters looked at Ji Yunshu, glancing at each other.
Although human life was at stake, the smashed door absolutely must be compensated!
Adhering to this point, they couldn’t let Luo Yang leave.
Someone shouted loudly, “You kicked down the door. As long as you pay for it, we’ll let you go.”
Wen Che understood—so it was that Luo Yang had kicked down the door in order to take Ji Yunshu to see a doctor.
He quickly instructed Shu Tian, “Go help. We can’t let Miss Ji come to harm.”
“Yes!”
Shu Tian leaped forward, jumped over, smoothly pulled silver from his waist and handed it over, his eyes sharp as he rebuked, “Quickly move aside.”
The waiter grabbed the silver and naturally couldn’t say anything more.
He could only have his people move aside.
Shu Tian pulled Luo Yang. “Let’s go.”
Luo Yang couldn’t spare time to thank him and quickly carried Ji Yunshu downstairs. Shu Tian followed as well.
Very soon, they found a medical clinic.
There were many people seeking treatment, all waiting in line!
As soon as Luo Yang entered, he shouted loudly, “Move aside, move aside! Physician, save someone!”
He rushed straight inside.
The clinic’s apprentice blocked his way. “What are you doing? How can you just barge in like this?”
“Can’t you see someone has fainted? Quickly get your physician.”
“Even so, you must understand the rules!”
“Someone’s about to die, and you’re still talking about rules?” Luo Yang was furious, his face flushed red.
The apprentice was about to say something—
Shu Tian directly drew his sword and held it to the apprentice’s neck, threatening him. “Why aren’t you saving her?”
Indeed, this method worked best!
