Chapter 587: Young Master’s Extra Chapter——(5)
He glared with eyes wide open in anger, and shouted viciously at the crowd: "Which ignorant little thief dared to attack me? Get out of here right now if you have the guts! Are you tired of living? Are you…"
"It's not me." A weak voice came from the crowd.
"I don't know." Another person quickly waved his hand to deny it.
"You little bastard, I'm going to catch you today...ah!" Before he could finish his words, the man suddenly covered his mouth and let out a scream.
He felt a sharp pain in his mouth, and at the same time, a warm, salty liquid flowed out from the corner of his mouth. When he let go of his hand, he saw that he had lost a huge front tooth!
However, the man did not give up. He raised his head and looked around for the mysterious attacker with a fierce look.
At this moment, another small stone came flying like a meteor and hit his knee squarely.
He felt so much pain that his body almost fell to the ground, but he still managed to stand up and shouted angrily at the empty air: "You are such a coward, just wait for me, I will find someone to deal with you right away!"
After saying this cruel word, the man fled away in a miserable state.
When the people who had been watching the woman's stall saw this, they were afraid of getting into trouble, so they scattered like birds and beasts, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Why... why are they all gone?" The woman turned around and looked at the stall that was suddenly empty, her face full of confusion and helplessness.
Li Haozheng walked up to the stall and asked, "How much are the sesame cakes?"
"Three cents each, available in two flavors: brown sugar and minced meat. Which flavor do you want, sir?"
The woman in front of him had her hair tied up with a wooden hairpin, a small floral cloth on her head, and coarse cloth clothes. She was not wearing any makeup, but her temperament and appearance could not be concealed. No wonder the men around her were staring at her with lustful eyes.
Li Haozheng didn't expect that this girl was so good at playing dumb. They had clearly met yesterday, but today she pretended not to know him. However, he would not expose her.
"Sir, do you want to buy more sesame cakes?"
"Master, someone is asking you?" the follower reminded Li Haozheng.
"I bought them all."
"what?"
The man signaled to the two followers beside him to take away all the cakes, and then threw a silver ingot in front of Gu Yuxi's stall.
"Sir, I don't need that much silver."
"Consider it a deposit. My servant will come to collect it next time."
"Ok."
Watching Gu Yuxi take the silver with pretended panic, Li Haozheng didn't dare to associate her with the woman who spent money without blinking an eye yesterday.
"Where is your home? My followers will bring your boxes back later." Li Haozheng asked tentatively.
[Sister Xi, is Li Haozheng doubting you? He wants to tear down our house.]
[Well, I still have to go find Gu Beicheng and give this man another try to see if he can play the konghou. If he can, I will ask him to play it for me more often in the future!]
[As long as you are happy.]
Gu Yuxi was seen clutching his sleeves tightly, his eyes dull, and he seemed to be immersed in another world, staring blankly.
Seeing this, Li Haozheng on the side couldn't help but frowned slightly and asked softly again: "Is it okay?" His voice was gentle and low, with a hint of imperceptible concern.
Gu Yuxi came back to her senses as if awakened from a dream, a blush appeared on her face, and she quickly replied: "Sir, if you don't mind the simple house, please follow me for a few steps." After that, she slowly stood up and pretended to pick up the stool and paper bag placed beside her.
However, Li Haozheng was quick-witted and stretched out his hands first, gently took the things from her hands, and said with a smile: "I'll take it."
Gu Yuxi was slightly startled, looking at the masked man in front of him, feeling inexplicably moved.
Afterwards, Li Haozheng followed Gu Yuxi to the yard behind the stall. They walked through a narrow path and came to a dilapidated wooden door.
Gu Yuxi stretched out his hand and gently pushed open the door. In front of them was a slightly simple pavilion and a two-meter-high fence. Next to the pavilion, they could clearly see the stove and tools that Gu Yuxi used to make sesame cakes.
"Young Master, please go this way." Gu Yuxi stepped aside to make way, signaling Li Haozheng to pass first.
Li Haozheng nodded and walked into the yard. When he glanced around casually, he was suddenly attracted by the scene in front of him.
It turned out that when Gu Yuxi pushed open another door, there was a different world inside.
The first thing that catches your eye is a lush field of flowers, with all kinds of flowers competing with each other in beauty, which is a breathtaking beauty.
The high walls are planted with emerald green bamboos. When the breeze blows, the bamboo leaves rustle, creating an ethereal and light sound.
The walls are surrounded by gorgeous trumpet creepers, lovely pink roses, snow-white camellias, etc., which are a feast for the eyes.
Looking at the four rooms, each door is decorated ingeniously. Inside the open door of one of the rooms hangs a series of exquisite calligraphy works, the fragrance of ink permeates the air, adding a touch of elegance to the entire courtyard.
Look at the ground again, there are some sawdust and a few small carved objects placed in the sun, which are very distinctive.
"Sir, please sit down."
Li Haozheng sat down, and the lotus fragrance wafted from the jar beside him, but it was more elegant and fragrant than before. They were twin lotus flowers, one white and one red.
Watching the woman going to a small room to make tea and pour water, the secret guard whispered: "Sir, this is the Monkey Herb. If you couldn't get the Blood Ginseng, this would be a better healing medicine. And this is the Infinite Orchid Herb..."
"Shut up!"
Li Haozheng glanced casually and saw the surrounding medicinal herbs and two ginsengs with red beads. This girl actually used all these medicinal herbs to make flowers and plants for appreciation.
"Master, please have tea."
Li Haozheng picked up the cup of tea and drank it. It was different from the tea he had drunk before. He put the cup down and asked, "Excuse me, young lady, what is your name?"
"Ayu, that's what the neighbors in this place call me."
"Then I will call you Ayu from now on. My name is Li Haozheng."
"Mr. Li, I think you look familiar."
"Really?" Li Haozheng answered casually without exposing the other party.
"Yeah, we must have met before. You give me a very special feeling."
Looking at the woman's lively eyes, their eyes met. Li Haozheng subconsciously avoided her gaze and didn't dare to look at her at all. What if she found out that he was ugly?
He has only found him now in this life, and the poison has become more serious and the attacks have occurred more frequently.
After he had settled the affairs of the court, he began to look for medical treatment everywhere. The miracle doctors in Spiritual Medicine Valley all said that he would not live long. He originally thought that his rebirth in this life was a joke until he met her again yesterday.
"Miss Ayu, do you really think so?"
"Ah."
