Chapter 1367: Chapter 1367: Old Man Qiu (3)
“No…” The Fourth Master was so scared that he retreated two steps, then turned and ran, knowing that if he didn’t run, he would definitely suffer today.
The lackeys, naturally not fools either, followed suit and started to flee headlong, but seed bitten by sothing, as their legs had all turned clumsy, tripping after just a few steps…
So, what everyone saw was a group of people repeatedly falling down and getting up, persistently stumbling forward.
The surrounding onlookers burst into roaring laughter.
Yang Ruxin also laughed, giving her wrist a slight shake.
Xiaolun glanced at his wife, and the two snakes darted out simultaneously, two flashes of white and green streaking by. Then the Fourth Master at the front thumped down on the ground, followed by a pile-up of his followers who hadn’t managed to stop in ti…
The wretched screams of the Fourth Master once again filled the air.
The people on top frantically scrambled up, helped the Fourth Master to his feet, and then as a group, they stumbled off into the distance.
The laughter from the crowd grew even louder.
Xiaolun and Xiaoyin had only administered a tiny bit of poison, which wouldn’t be fatal, but it would render these n incapable of looking after themselves for a long ti.
At this ti, Zhongxia had already reached the old lady’s side. Due to her age and the force put into the kick she had just received, the old lady hadn’t fainted but was still unable to recover and couldn’t get up.
The old man was so anxious his eyes were red.
“I’m sorry; it’s my fault you got involved,” Zhongxia said, full of guilt.
The old man just shook his head.
Yang Ruxin quickly went over to check the old lady’s pulse, frowning slightly. She then took out a dicine Pill and put it into the old lady’s mouth and used silver needles to prick her a couple of tis.
Soon after, the old lady took a long breath and then opened her eyes.
“Old woman, how are you feeling?” the old man asked happily.
“I’m fine,” the old lady shook her head, “Thank you, young lady.”
“Grandma, thank you for protecting my sister just now,” Yang Ruxin smiled, “But you’re weak now, so it’s best to rest for a few days…” Even though she wasn’t as old as Zhongxia, she considered those maids around her as little sisters.
“I’m fine, I…”
“Grandma, we’ll escort you back,” Yang Ruxin insisted, helping her up without further discussion, “Zhongxia, go call for a carriage.”
The elderly couple lived in a village at the base of Longjing Mountain by West Lake. The village was divided into two parts: one composed of fishern who lived off catching fish in West Lake, and the other of tea farrs who depended on the tea leaves from Longjing Mountain for their livelihood.
This old gentleman, surnad Qiu, his family had been tea farrs for generations. However, he had sold the two mu of Tea Mountain they owned due to his son’s mishap. His son wasn’t saved, and now they could only scrape by selling lotus root powder.
Yang Ruxin left the red bean buns for the elderly couple and also left ten taels of Silver, telling them to rest well and that she would co to see them in a few days.
The old couple was, of course, endlessly grateful.
Coming out from Old Father Qiu’s house, Yang Ruxin looked at the Longjing Mountain and an idea suddenly popped into her head. Next ti she ca, she would get a Longjing tea tree to put in her space.
Because of the delay, by the ti she returned to the Dong Family’s residence, the sun had already moved to the west, but it wasn’t dinner ti yet. She first greeted her grandfather, then returned to Jinxiu Courtyard.
However, she had hardly stepped out of the courtyard when she saw Baiyue approaching her from the opposite direction.
