Chapter 158 Owe

Ye Annian was startled. After waiting for a while and seeing Jiang Zhu making no movement, he gently stretched out his hand and probed the bottom of his nose.

　　"He just fell asleep." Xie Xiaogong's voice suddenly came from behind.

　　Ye Annian was startled and looked back, and saw Xie Xiaogong standing at the door of the east room at some point, leaning against the door and looking at him.

　　"You... why are you here, Senior Xie?"

　　"I followed you here secretly," Xie Xiaogong touched his nose and whispered, "You have to know who you are."

　　"What?" Ye Anyian didn't hear clearly.

　　"Ahem, it's nothing." Xie Xiaogong strode in, raised his hand and hit Jiang Zhu on the head, and then laughed "hehe", "Little Ye Zi did a good job."

　　"It's done, you go out and wait, I'll treat him right now...cough, treat him."

　　Seeing the thief look on his face, Ye Anyian felt a little uneasy, but thinking that Xie Xiaogong was Jiang Zhu's master after all, he still nodded, retreated, and closed the door.

　　In the room, Xie Xiaogong looked at Jiang Zhu who was sleeping peacefully on the table. He laughed a few times and then raised his hand to hit him on the head.

　　However, when his hand was about to touch Jiang Zhu, he was suddenly grabbed.

　　Jiang Zhu, who had been sleeping with his eyes closed just now, now opened his eyes and sat up.

　　"Ahem," Xie Xiaogong coughed awkwardly, "It seems that my medicine still needs improvement."

　　"I'm not asking you to go back." Jiang Zhu let go of him, with a cold look on his face.

　　"Why are you so anxious? You don't want to see me that much?"

　　"You want to see him, and you have seen him. Then go back to Kyoto as soon as possible, lest he cannot find him and send troops to dig deep into the ground to look for you."

　　"You brat, what nonsense are you talking about?" Mr. Xie Xiaogong muttered, dissatisfied, "Old man, I'm so old that I came all the way to see you, but you are so sinister."

　　Jiang Zhu glanced at him coldly: "I didn't ask you to come."

　　Xie Xiaogong:...

　　"Alas," the old man sighed, "I have such pity for all the masters in the world. Old man, I'm not worried about your health."

　　"No need for you to worry."

　　"What about Little Leaf?"

　　Xie Xiaogong's beard curled up and he rolled his eyes at Jiang Zhu: "If you die, aren't you afraid that he will be sad?"

　　Jiang Zhu:...

　　There was a moment of silence.

　　"He won't."

　　Jiang Zhu looked at the flickering candlelight on the Kang table and said in a deep voice: "I will help him arrange everything."

"Ding Qiu's eyes will be cured soon, and he will be the new master of Baihe Zhai at that time. Ye Anyian is the only elder of Baihe Zhai. He has the power to make decisions, but he does not have to worry about the affairs of the Zhai."

　　"Yes," Xie Xiaogong sighed, "Little Ye Zi is so smart. He and his younger brother can make money to support him and his younger brother just by relying on his craftsmanship. With Bai Hezhai as his support, no one dares to touch them. For the rest of his life, he Do whatever you want, feel free."

　　Jiang Zhu raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.

　　Xie Xiaogong glared at him: "You have already made the decision for Xiao Yezi, what else can I say?"

　　"Shut up if you can't speak." Jiang Zhu said coolly.

　　Xie Xiaogong:...

　　"Hey, why did I accept a stinky apprentice like you just to make me angry!"

　　"If you don't want to be pissed off by me, get out of here." Jiang Zhu said bluntly.

　　Xie Xiaogong kicked off his shoes and took off his shoes: "Old man, I won't leave yet!"

　　Jiang Zhu:...

　　"Then I'll go."

　　As he said this, he was about to get up, but Xie Xiaogong got there first, and his acupuncture points were clicked twice.

　　Jiang Zhu: "Old guy, you..."

　　Before he finished speaking, he was tapped on his mute acupuncture point.

　　Jiang Zhu:...

　　Xie Xiaogong laughed slyly: "Little bastard, your master is still your master!"

　　Finally taking control of the person, he did not dare to delay and reached out to feel Jiang Zhu's pulse.

　　The poison has begun to spread to the internal organs. The situation is indeed not optimistic, but if you use internal force to suppress it, you can still hold on.

　　Xie Xiaogong rarely had a serious face, put his hand on Jiang Zhu's wrist, and channeled his inner energy into it.

　　But Jiang Zhu's body is like a sieve at the moment. Little of the internal energy that is put in is stored, but much is leaked out.

　　Xie Xiaogong worked hard for a long time, with sweat dripping from his forehead, before he could barely suppress the poisonous poison.

　　He took a deep breath, slumped down on the kang, and cursed: "You are a sinner, you brat is here to collect debts!"

　　Jiang Zhu couldn't move or speak, she could only stare at him.

　　Xie Xiaogong proudly hit him hard on the forehead, pulled away his quilt and got in and rolled around. Seeing that the man was so angry with him, he slowly put on his shoes, went to the ground, and walked out swaggeringly.

　　Ye Annian had been sitting in the main room. At first, he heard a slight rustling in the room and the voices of two people talking, but it was very small and he couldn't hear clearly what was said. Afterwards, nothing was heard.

　　He waited for a long time before the door to the east room opened.

　　Xie Xiaogong yawned and came out of the house, pulling on his shoes.

　　"Thank you, senior, how is he?"

"It's okay for now." Xie Xiaogong said with a smile.

　　"Is it just temporary?" Ye Annian's heart was filled with worry again.

　　"Well, his illness needs to be cured slowly." Xie Xiaogong stroked his beard and put on an inscrutable look.

　　"I won't get sick again this winter. I'll come back next winter."

　　When he said this, Ye Anyian felt more at ease, nodded and said, "Well, thank you, senior."

　　"Hi," Xie Xiaogong waved his hand, "I don't want to say thank you to my family. After all, I am the disciple I chose myself, so you can take care of it if you want."

　　Ye Annian thought what he said was funny, so he smiled.

　　Then I heard Jiang Zhu's voice coming from inside the room: "Nian Nian, you are not allowed to pay attention to him!"

Ye Anyian:...

　　"Oh, I have to leave quickly." Upon hearing this, Xie Xiaogong ran away without caring about his talk.

　　"Little Ye Zi, remember to miss me!"

　　In the east room, Jiang Zhu had unblocked his acupuncture points and sat at the kang table with an aggrieved look on his face: "Niannian, why did you team up with the smelly old man to deceive me?"

　　Ye Annian was helpless: "He said he wanted to treat you, but I had to let him go."

　　"Then you give me some medicine."

　　"I won't do it next time."

　　After Ye Anian finished speaking, he came up to Jiang Zhu and stared at him.

　　"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhu asked.

　　Ye Anyian: "I feel like your face looks better."

　　Jiang Zhu: "Cut."

　　He wanted to make a bed to sleep, but looking at the scattered quilts on the kang, he remembered that the quilt had just been rolled over by Xie Xiaogong.

　　I immediately felt disgusted and piled them up at the foot of the kang, planning to wash them tomorrow, and then went down to the cupboard to refurbish the quilts.

　　Ye Annian wondered: "What's wrong with this quilt?"

　　"I was rolled over by a smelly old man just now. It stinks." Jiang Zhu didn't even raise his head.

　　Ye Anyian:...

　　The room was quiet for a moment, and he spoke softly: "By the way, why are you and Senior Xie so resistant to dealing with each other? I feel like he treats you very well."

　　"I want to know." Jiang Zhu dug out a thick new quilt and carried it to the kang to spread it.

　　"Um."

　　"Kiss me and I'll tell you." Jiang Zhu pointed at his cheek.

　　Ye Anyian rolled his eyes at him: "I don't want to know anymore."

　　Jiang Zhu was helpless: "Okay, come here and I'll tell you."

　　Ye Annian did not doubt that he was there, and came over to help him spread the quilt. Jiang Zhu unexpectedly kissed him on the corner of his mouth like a dragonfly.

　　Ye Anyian's ears felt hot, and Jiang Zhu had already spoken: "I was picked up by him when I was five years old."

　　"My parents passed away when I was very young. As long as I can remember, I have been among a group of beggars, begging and collecting food. Later, when I was about to die of hunger, I met Xie Xiaogong. He said he could give me enough to eat. I just followed him."

　　"He did keep me fed every meal, and he also taught me Kung Fu and medical skills. Those ten years were probably the most happy and comfortable days in my life. Well, before I met you."

　　"But later, when I was seventeen, because of his arrogance and underestimation, he fell into a trap and killed my junior brother, and also gave me to that person."

　　"Later on, my comfortable days were completely over, and I had to follow that person and do things I didn't want to do. It wasn't until four years ago that I completely got rid of him."

　　"I traveled around and finally settled in Crescent Village, and then I met you."

　　"So, it was his fault that changed the trajectory of your life?"

Yeah." Jiang Zhu pressed the horns down and smiled, "That's right."

　　Ye Annian was silent for a while: "Although I shouldn't advise you. But I still want to say that since the past has passed, we still need to look more at the present."

　　"Thank you, senior. He has been feeling guilty for so many years and may not be living a good life. Although what happened back then was his negligence, in the final analysis, the fault lies with the person who set the trap."

　　"Maybe." Jiang Zhu didn't say anything more.

　　Feeling guilty?

　　If Xie Xiaogong really felt guilty, he would not have agreed to treat Wei Zhihuai's leg and still stay in the Prince's Mansion.

　　"Go to sleep." Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Ye Anyian stopped mentioning the matter and took Jiang Zhu to sleep with him.

　　After blowing out the candle, Jiang Zhu reached out and pulled Ye Annian into his arms: "Niannian, you are not allowed to care about him anymore."

　　Ye Anyian put his hand on his waist, thought for a while and said, "Okay, when you get better, I will ignore him."

　　Jiang Zhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Okay, I reluctantly agree to you."

　　"Then you can be a little more polite to him in the future, okay?" Ye Annian pressed forward, "He only comes here once a year. I still hope that you two can get along well."

　　Jiang Zhu:...

　　He narrowed his eyes, patted Ye Anyian's back and clenched his hand into a fist: "I'll try my best."

　　A night of silence.

　　Early the next morning, news came out in Yueya Village that almost shocked the whole village.

　　The eldest son of the Ye family has divorced his wife, and the second son of the Ye family is making trouble to separate the family.

　　Ye Annian got up early in the morning and was washing up in the main room when there was a knock on the door.

　　Jiang Zhu opened the door, and Zhao Le ran in staggeringly. The excitement on his face couldn't be suppressed: "Mr. Jiang."

　　After saying hello, he turned around and shouted inside: "Brother Nian! There's a lot of fun!"

　　Ye Anyian wiped his face and simply pulled back his disheveled hair. Zhao Le had already rushed in.

　　As soon as she saw him, she said excitedly: "Guess what, your uncle divorced your eldest uncle a few days ago, but today your second uncle and his second uncle came to my house early in the morning."

　　"I want my father to seek justice. They are clamoring to separate the family!"
