Chapter 495: I ‘Took’ It From Grandma’s Cash Coffer

  What they wanted has never been Liu Yusheng herself.

  What they wanted was their ability to give rise to the Liu family’s momentum.

  Just ten days later, Liu Yusheng arrived in Xuzhou with Feng Qingbai, and after disembarking, she rushed to another courtyard in Xuzhou.

  In order to shorten the waiting time for medical treatment, Liu Zhiqiu took Liu Junyue toward the capital, waiting for Liu Yusheng to receive the letter and travel to meet him. This was much faster than staying in Xinghua Village.

  It just so happened that Feng Qingbai had an extra courtyard in Xuzhou, so they could have accommodation.

  As soon as the two entered the gate of the courtyard, Liu Zhiqiu greeted them, “I guess you should be here in the next two days. Nannan, come and take a look at her.”

  He didn’t let them rest even for a moment.

  It was rare for Liu Yusheng to see her second brother so impatient, so she shook her head helplessly and followed him into the guest room.

  At the door of the room, Liu Zhiqiu stopped Feng Qingbai, “You can’t go in. There’s a grown lady inside.”

  The corners of Feng Qingbai’s lips twitched, but then again, he wasn’t planning to enter.

  He simply leaned against the corridor pillar, “Tell me what’s going on.”

  ”Axiu, aren’t you busy? Why does my sister have you wherever she goes?”

  ”Do you have any opinion?”

  ”I’m just asking out of curiosity.” Liu Zhiqiu pouted. Would he dare to have an opinion? He was one of the biggest moneylenders who would pay off his debt in the future.

  He was the partner that he would sell his younger sister for glory in the future.

  He described the events of the day in detail. While talking, he listened to the movements in the room, doing two tasks simultaneously.

  ”As far as your three-legged cat skills are concerned, you dared to go up to meet the enemy in such confusion? Didn’t you think that you might die?”

  ”Hey, watch your words. If I didn’t charge forward at the time, do you think they wouldn’t have chased after me? There were villagers everywhere in the village. If innocent people got hurt, even if the villagers wouldn’t point fingers, grandpa and grandma would feel guilty for the rest of their lives. Might as well delay them in there and wait for rescue.” Do you really think I have no brains? I’m just too lazy to use it, “Besides, there’s no telling until one wins or loses. Maybe a martial arts prodigy like me can knock them all out, don’t you agree?”

  Feng Qingbai faintly stared at his face with that breezy expression, openly and bluntly. He waited until Liu Zhiqiu averted his gaze before letting him go.

  Liu Zhiqiu scolded him inwardly, Nothing could be hidden from Feng Qingbai’s eyes. Is he really human? Not a ghost or something?

  At that time, his rushing up was not really due to some heroic principle. He knew all too well how much he was capable of.

  It was just that when he saw Li Junyue standing there with tears streaming down her face, crying and telling him to escape, a string in his mind got loose.

  Had he escaped, wouldn’t the four assassins have captured her to vent their anger?

  Who could tell how many stab wounds her body would have suffered?

  In the room, Liu Yusheng saw the woman on the bed. The pale yellow dress was the color and style she often wore.

  The skin on her face and hands was all bluish-gray, and her lips were black and purple. However, even after so many days, there was no corpse spot on her body, nor was there a sign of decay.

  It was like her breath had been cut off for a while.

  She stepped forward, untied the woman’s clothes and looked at the stab wound on her heart. Instead of the overturned and festering wound, there was a thin layer of scab, which was condensed with black and red blood.

  This proved that her wound was indeed healing itself, but the rate of self-healing was crawling.

  Otherwise, the scab of the wound should have reached the stage of falling off after half a month, not as if it has just coagulated.

  She touched her hand, and every part her fingertips touched was cold. She had no pulse, and her heart was not beating

  When Liu Yusheng’s hand was about to leave the woman’s chest, she frowned as if she had sensed something, and covered it with her palm again.

  Boom.

  The heartbeat was so feeble that it was almost imperceptible!

  After that, there was no further movement for a long time.

  Liu Yusheng simply sat down beside the bed, without retracting her hand on the woman’s chest.

  Nearly a quarter of an hour later, there was another imperceptible thump under her palm.

  She has a heartbeat!

  It was just that the beat was terribly slow, and the interval was too long. Given that it was too weak, it was easily misjudged.

  After withdrawing her hand, Liu Yusheng frowned even tighter.

  Li Junyue’s heartbeat meant she still has the possibility to survive.

  But it was the first time she encountered such a case, and she couldn’t even tell where to start for a while.

  She knew the efficacy of spiritual spring water, which had been tested before and used to save her grandfather.

  The water was all drunk at the time of the incident, and it quickly retained her grandfather’s vitality.

  After that, she treated him with her medical skills and slowly let him recover.

  But Li Junyue’s situation was unique.

  In the eyes of ordinary people, she could be regarded as a corpse for nearly a month.

  She has an extremely slow and weak heartbeat, but wasn’t breathing. Without breathing, the blood didn’t flow, or it did, it was very slow, and so the blood supply to the brain was inadequate.

  In her situation, even if she was rescued in the end, she would highly likely become comatose.

  What was commonly known as brain-dead.

  She pricked her with a golden needle and slowly poured a small amount of spiritual spring water into her throat. Even if she could not swallow it, she could ensure that the spiritual spring water would flow into her internal organs.

  After doing this, Liu Yusheng opened the door and walked out.

  ”Nannan, how is it? Could she be rescued?” Liu Zhiqiu asked immediately.

  Liu Yusheng shook her head. “I don’t know yet. I can only do my best.”

  Liu Zhiqiu was a little stunned. Even Nannan expressed her uncertainty, so it must be too difficult.

  ”Second brother, if she can’t be saved…” She didn’t want to be discouraged, but she had to give her Second Brother a shot.

  Judging from his performance, he clearly cared.

  ”If she can’t be saved, that can only be her fate. We tried our best.” Liu Zhiqiu forced a smile.

  If they tried their best, but it didn’t work, that was God’s will.

  It couldn’t be forced.

  It was night time. After a short rest, the three of them gathered together again, and Liu Yusheng began to ask Liu Zhiqiu what happened.

  The letter only mentioned the assassins and Li Junyue, and there was an explanation as to the cause and effect in advance.

  Why did Li Junyue appear in Xinghua Ridge, and how could people like the Li family allow her second brother to bring Li Junyue’s “corpse” out?

  After listening to Liu Zhiqiu narrate the whole story clearly, Liu Yusheng fell silent, not knowing how to describe Li Junyue or the relationship between her and her second brother.

  For Li Junyue, her impression of her was not favorable at first. She was defensive, but it was the person she guarded against who ended up saving her second brother.

  ”So, you gave the Li matriarch 50,000 taels of silver bills on the spot?” As she lamented, Feng Qingbai’s voice sounded faintly, “Where did you get the 50 thousand taels?”

  ”…Can I not answer?” Liu Zhiqiu asked.

  Liu Yusheng immediately had an ominous premonition in her heart.

  ”You don’t have to answer, but I can’t help you either.”

  ”I ‘got’ it from my grandma’s cash coffer.”

  Feng Qingbai’s sentence was not a threat, so Liu Zhiqiu immediately confessed.

  Liu Yusheng held her forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

  Seeing that his younger sister didn’t mean to blame him, Liu Zhiqiu moved closer and said, “Nannan, you can raise my monthly salary later. Your Second Brother has a hundred years worth of debt now, so it’s not enough.”
