Chapter 758 The Hateful Shopkeeper

Time was like a slowly flowing stream, and it was already afternoon before we knew it.

Hou Jinwei walked into the store slowly, looked at the busy waiter, and said with a smile: "You can go back early today, after all, that woman will help you today."

When the waiter heard this, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face, and his eyes were full of surprise.

He quickly stopped his work, bowed deeply to Hou Jinwei, and said gratefully: "Thank you, boss! I was thinking about coming back early, and now it's just right." The waiter was very happy, thinking that he could finally go back and rest early.

Hou Jinwei looked at the excited waiter, shook his head slightly, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Then, his eyes fell on Tuoba Yu who was cleaning.

Seeing her skillful movements and focused expression, Hou Jinwei couldn't help but feel a little good about her.

Hou Jinwei walked up, with a kind smile on his face, and asked softly: "Miss, what's your name?"

Tuoba Yu was slightly stunned. She didn't want to reveal her true identity, so she made up a name and said, "My name is Nian'er."

Her eyes were clear and calm, and people couldn't see a flaw.

Hou Jinwei nodded, muttering the name "Nian'er" softly.

He looked at Tuoba Yu, secretly guessing the origin of this woman in his heart.

But he didn't ask much, just smiled and said: "Miss Nian'er, you've worked hard."

Tuoba Yu nodded slightly, with a shy smile on her face, and said: "Thank you, shopkeeper."

Finally, it was late at night, and the inn that had been noisy all day finally closed.

Hou Jinwei breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of joy on his face.

He looked at Tuoba Yu and said attentively: "Miss Nian'er, I have arranged a room for you, please follow me." As he said, he led the way in front.

Tuoba Yu followed silently, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. After entering the room, Tuoba Yu was about to rest, but suddenly saw Hou Jinwei still standing at the door.

She felt strange and frowned slightly.

At this moment, she suddenly saw a lustful light in Hou Jinwei's eyes.

Tuoba Yu instantly understood what was going on, but she decided to pretend to be confused.

She raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of doubts, and asked softly: "Boss, is there anything else?"

Hou Jinwei was slightly stunned by Tuoba Yu's question, but soon recovered his lustful look.

He rubbed his hands, smiled, and said: "Miss Nian'er, aren't you afraid to live alone? How about I accompany you?"

Tuoba Yu felt disgusted, but his face remained calm.

She shook her head slightly and said firmly: "Thank you for your kindness, boss. I'm not afraid. Please go back, boss. I want to rest."

Hou Jinwei's face showed an even more obscene look, and he approached Tuoba Yu step by step. His eyes were full of greed and desire, and he said: "Nian'er, don't you need money? As long as you serve this shopkeeper well, I will give you a lot of money." As he said that, he opened his arms and wanted to hug Tuoba Yu.

Tuoba Yu dodged Hou Jinwei's approach and shouted: "Shopkeeper, don't mess around!"

Her eyes were full of anger.

However, Hou Jinwei was already overwhelmed by desire at this time, and he couldn't listen to Tuoba Yu's words.

He still kept rushing towards Tuoba Yu, muttering: "Little beauty, don't hide, just obey this shopkeeper." Tuoba Yu kept dodging Hou Jinwei's salty hands.

Tuoba Yu looked at Hou Jinwei who was pressing forward step by step, and the anger on her face could no longer be concealed, and was replaced by a sneer.

Her eyes became cold and sharp, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.

"In that case, don't blame me for being rude." Her voice was not loud, but full of majesty and determination.

After that, Tuoba Yu suddenly raised his hand and slapped Hou Jinwei hard.

The crisp sound of "slap" was particularly loud in the silent room.

Hou Jinwei didn't expect Tuoba Yu to resist at all. He covered his beaten cheek, his eyes full of astonishment and anger.

"You bitch, dare to hit me!" Hou Jinwei roared, and the anger in his heart was instantly ignited.

His face became ferocious, like an enraged beast. "I must kill you today!"

Tuoba Yu looked at Hou Jinwei fearlessly, without a trace of fear in his heart.

She knew that there was no way out now, and she could only face it bravely.

Just as Hou Jinwei rushed over again, Tuoba Yu quickly displayed martial arts.

Her figure was as light as a swallow and her movements were as agile as a leopard.

She dodged Hou Jinwei's attack with a flash.

Then, she turned around and kicked Hou Jinwei in the abdomen.

Hou Jinwei was kicked back by Tuoba Yu. He widened his eyes and looked unbelievable. He never thought that this seemingly weak woman would know martial arts.

"You... you actually know martial arts?" Hou Jinwei stammered, his heart full of fear.

Tuoba Yu looked at Hou Jinwei coldly, his eyes full of disdain.

"Do you think I'm just an ordinary woman? Today I'll let you know what happens if you mess with me." Her voice was like ice, chilling.

Tuoba Yu's eyes flashed with cold murderous intent. She stared at Hou Jinwei closely and approached step by step.

Her hands trembled slightly, which was a manifestation of anger and determination.

"Humph, are you asking for mercy now? It's too late!" Tuobayu's voice was as cold as ice, "How dare you be so frivolous to me, I will take your life today."

Her face was full of anger and determination, without any hesitation.

Hou Jinwei looked at Tuobayu in horror. His face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were full of despair.

He plopped down on his knees, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Miss Nian'er, I was wrong, I was really wrong. Please spare me, I don't dare to do it anymore."

Hou Jinwei's voice trembled, tears welling up in his eyes.

His body was shaking like a frightened rabbit.

Tuobayu looked at Hou Jinwei who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, without any mercy in his heart.

Her eyes were still cold, as if she were looking at a dead person.

"Do you think I will believe what you say? A person like you would not regret death." Tuobayu's tone was full of disgust, "If I spare you today, I don't know how many women will be killed by you in the future."

Hou Jinwei slumped on the ground in despair, knowing that he had no way out.

His eyes were full of regret, regretting that he should not have been impulsive and messed with this terrible woman.

"Miss Nian'er, I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance to atone for my sins." Hou Jinwei's voice had become hoarse, and his eyes were full of prayer.

Tuobayu raised his chin slightly, his eyes full of disdain.

"Atonement? Do you think atonement can make up for the sins you have committed? You must die today."

Tuobayu's eyes flashed, and his movements were as fast as lightning.

She stabbed at Hou Jinwei without hesitation, and the blade instantly penetrated Hou Jinwei's body.

Hou Jinwei's eyes widened, his face full of shock and fear, and his body slowly fell down.

Tuobayu looked at the lifeless Hou Jinwei with a sneer on his face.

"This is your fate." Tuobayu said coldly. She raised her foot and kicked Hou Jinwei's body out, as if she was disposing of an insignificant piece of garbage.

Then, fall asleep on your own. The next day, the sun shone through the windows in the lobby of the inn.

The waiter hummed a little tune and came to the store in a happy mood, ready to start a new day's work.

However, when he saw Tuobayu standing on the counter, his face as cold as frost, he couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt in his heart.

"Miss Nian'er, what's going on? Why do you look so ugly?" the waiter asked cautiously, his eyes full of concern.

Tuobayu raised his eyes slightly, a trace of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes. She took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Last night, Hou Jinwei tried to do something unfaithful to me, but I killed him."

Her voice was calm and indifferent, as if she was telling something that had nothing to do with her.

After hearing Tuobayu's words, the waiter's face instantly turned pale.

"What? The shopkeeper...he actually..." the waiter stammered, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Tuobayu looked at the panicked waiter without a trace of emotion in his heart.

She knew that this matter would be discovered sooner or later, and she was prepared to deal with it.

"You don't have to panic, this matter has nothing to do with you." Tuobayu said lightly, "I just want to tell you that you don't have to do anything for such a person in the future."

The waiter's eyes were full of disbelief. His eyes glanced back and forth on Tuobayu, and his heart was full of doubts.

"Miss Nian'er, how could you, a girl from your family, kill the shopkeeper?"

Tuobayu's face was still cold. She didn't answer the waiter's question, but picked up a bench.

There was a fierce look in her eyes, and she used both hands to open the bench. With a "pop" sound, the bench instantly broke into two pieces.

The waiter's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and his face was full of shock.

He looked at the broken stool in Tuobayu's hand, and felt a strong shock in his heart.

"This... this..." The waiter stammered and was speechless.

Tuobayu threw the broken stool on the ground with a dull sound.

She looked at the waiter and said calmly: "Do you believe it now? I have enough strength to kill him."

The waiter swallowed and nodded slowly.

His eyes were full of awe, and he had a new understanding of Tuobayu's strength.

"Miss Nian'er, you are so powerful. I didn't expect you to be so powerful."

There was a hint of determination in Tuoba Yu's eyes. She looked at the waiter and said slowly: "I just wanted to make some money, but yesterday I killed Hou Jinwei and found a lot of money from his home. Now I can leave." . This store will be yours from now on.”

When the waiter heard this, he immediately shook his head in panic, with a look of panic on his face.

"Miss Nian'er, this is impossible. How can I be the shopkeeper?" His voice trembled slightly, obviously feeling very uneasy about this sudden proposal.

Tuobayu frowned slightly and said impatiently: "Do it or not, I'm leaving anyway."

After saying this, she ignored the waiter, turned around and walked out of the store.

The waiter stood at the door of the store, his eyes still full of panic, his mind went blank, and he had not yet been able to react to this sudden change.

At this time, Tuobayu had already mounted the horse and his figure was moving away.

Tuobayu on horseback feels like an arrow in his heart.

She held the reins tightly and looked ahead firmly.

When she thought about meeting Xi Xiyu, her heart was full of anticipation and a little bit of uneasiness. She didn't know if Xiyu was still thinking about her.

"Will he forgive me? Will he forget me?" Tuoba Yu thought to herself, and the feeling of uneasiness spread in her heart.

She recalled every bit of being with Xi Xiyu, and those good times seemed to be still in front of her.

How she wished she could return to him again and confide her thoughts and guilt to him.

The wind whistled past her ears, and Tuoba Yu's hair fluttered in the wind.

She kept urging the horse to speed up, as if only in this way could she alleviate the uneasiness in her heart a little.

She knew that she had to face Xi Xiyu bravely, and no matter what the result was, she would be responsible for her actions.

On the other side, Xiyu sat quietly in Gan Mei's room, with a trace of fatigue and helplessness on his face.

Gan Mei looked at Xi Yu anxiously and insisted, "Let's ask a few more doctors to take a look. Maybe there is a way."

Xi Yu frowned slightly, sighed and said, "It's useless to see it, forget it."

However, looking at Gan Mei's expectant eyes, he finally softened his heart and agreed to her request.

After a while, several doctors came to the room one after another.

They looked solemn and carefully examined Xi Yu's body.

Everyone was thinking about the condition seriously and gave his own diagnosis.

However, disappointingly, each doctor's conclusion was different.

Xi Yu's face became more and more ugly, and his irritability became more and more intense.

"You quacks!" Xi Yu finally couldn't help it and cursed loudly, "Everyone has a different opinion. Is there any accurate one?"

His eyes were full of anger and disappointment, as if he wanted to eat these doctors alive.

Several doctors were scolded by Xi Yu until they were red in the face, but they didn't dare to refute. They could only lower their heads and silently bear his anger.

Xi Yu turned to look at Gan Mei and said firmly: "Don't look around randomly. These doctors are not reliable at all."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Gan Mei's eyes, but she also knew that Xi Yu was right.

She nodded gently.

That day, Song Shuwen embarked on a journey to find medicine with great expectations.

He traveled through mountains and rivers and experienced hardships along the way, and finally came to the place he hoped for in his heart.

His eyes flashed with excitement, and he looked around and carefully searched for the medicine he needed.

After a careful search, Song Shuwen finally found the medicine he had dreamed of on a mountain.

At that moment, his heart was filled with joy and excitement, as if he had found the most precious treasure in the world.

He hurriedly and carefully picked the medicine and put it into the sack that had been prepared long ago.

Every time he put a plant of medicine, his face was filled with a happy smile.

While he was busy, he secretly felt fortunate that his persistence and efforts were not in vain.

When the sack was full, Song Shuwen stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Just as Song Shuwen was looking at the sack full of medicine with joy, a carriage suddenly came galloping.

The carriage was very fast and stopped suddenly in front of Song Shuwen, raising a cloud of dust.

Then, several people jumped off the carriage quickly, each of them holding a big knife, with a fierce look on their faces, and rushed towards Song Shuwen aggressively.

Song Shuwen was shocked and his face turned pale in an instant.

However, at this critical moment, several dark guards appeared quickly like ghosts.

They were agile and had cold eyes. They fought with those knife-wielding people without hesitation.

The two sides instantly fell into a fierce battle.

The sound of swords and knives intersecting was endless, and the scene was very tense.

A secret guard was fighting fiercely with the enemy while shouting to Song Shuwen: "Leave quickly! It's dangerous here!"

Song Shuwen looked at the fierce battle scene, and although he was a little flustered.

But he also knew that he couldn't drag down the secret guards at this time. He gritted his teeth, hugged the sack tightly, turned around and ran quickly in a safe direction.

Just as Song Shuwen fled in a hurry, an enemy suddenly threw a medicine bag into the air.

The medicine bag scattered in the air, and the powdery stuff spread instantly.

Seeing this, several secret guards screamed "Ah", and they immediately felt something strange in their bodies and began to shake.

These enemies were obviously prepared. Taking advantage of the moment when the secret guards lost their fighting power, one of them quickly rushed to Song Shuwen and strangled his neck at a very fast speed.

Song Shuwen widened his eyes in horror, trying to struggle but unable to do anything.

Soon, he fell into a coma.

At this time, the atmosphere on the mountain became extremely tense.

The secret guards tried to stay awake and rescue Song Shuwen, but their weak bodies made it difficult for them to move.

The enemies looked at the unconscious Song Shuwen triumphantly, as if they had won.

Another day passed quietly, and Xi Yu sat in Gan Mei's room, full of worries.

He frowned, thinking about Song Shuwen's whereabouts.

"Why hasn't Song Shuwen come back yet? And why didn't the secret guards pass on the news? Whether I can get the medicine or not, I should have told myself." Xi Yu muttered to himself, his face full of anxiety.

He became more and more worried, and kept pacing in the room, as if this could ease his uneasiness.

Gan Mei looked at Xi Yu, her eyes full of heartache.

She found that Xi Yu seemed to have lost weight, and his handsome face looked a little haggard.

Xi Ping An was still unconscious, pale, and had a fever.

Gan Mei wiped Xi Ping An's forehead from time to time, hoping to make him feel better.

Last night, several ladies came to visit little Xi Ping An. They were all worried and worried about the child's condition.

Xi Yu stopped and looked at Xi Ping An, his eyes full of love and worry.

How he hoped that Song Shuwen could come back with medicine as soon as possible to save this poor child. (End of this chapter)
