Chapter 87: Woman Like the Moon
Jiang Xia slept very well.
After a fierce battle that exhausted all his energy, he had no intention of caring about what was happening around him. He fell asleep as soon as Wang Liufu sent him back to Liu's house. He didn't even have a dream. When he opened his eyes, it was already noon the next day.
The pain in my body has eased a lot.
It was probably because of the "Rejuvenation Pill" that Wang Liufu gave him last night. It was said that it was a good pill refined by his master and given to Wang Liufu for self-protection.
Even a cultivator at the True Realm could use this elixir to quickly heal his wounds and restore his energy after a battle.
In Jiang Xia's understanding, it is equivalent to the "little red bottle".
However, the effect of this medicine was amazing. Although it did not have the miraculous effect of regenerating severed limbs, when Jiang Xia sat up from the bed, he felt as if he had been fully revived. The broken teeth in his mouth had also grown out, and he was exactly the same as before.
He turned his head and looked at his left arm.
Although it had been treated by Su using wasteland first aid methods and carefully bandaged.
The bloody and skinned appearance was no longer visible, but Jiang Xia could not feel the existence of his left arm at all. He could not raise his hand or move it.
Probably because the bones and nerves were cut by the Qingsi Sword Net, this hand is most likely disabled.
"good."
Jiang Xia said in a low voice, without much sadness on his face.
As he woke up, the backlog of information in his brain chip was mobilized and released.
There were several worried inquiries from Jasmine, the data reports that Su had already sorted out, and the new environmental information that had been digitized.
With the highest authority he possessed in this small group, the moment he regained consciousness, the drone signals hovering around Ruyifang City were automatically connected to the Jiangxia chip.
He saw a crowd of people busy in the sun, some were cleaning the blood stains on the streets, and new recruits were patrolling the streets in groups of five, carrying guns.
Outside the market, many locals gathered and were pointing and talking.
"Jasmine, how long will it take?"
Jiang Xia asked, and soon, the good employee sent a reply.
"Reporting to the boss, Hanhan and I are already near the county town. There are still more than ten miles to go, and we will arrive in the afternoon at the latest."
"Okay, let's follow the plan when we get here."
Boss Jiang sat on the bed, rubbing his forehead with his right hand, and said:
“Count the assets, find out the structure, and quickly resume business operations. The fourth brother will help you. He is the nominal manager of Kunlun Square, and you will be the actual planner.
is that OK?"
Jasmine was obviously lacking in confidence. She said softly:
"Boss, I'm just an apprentice. Are you really confident that such a large consortium will be handed over to me?"
“There are too few people who can be used.”
Jiang Xia said with a headache:
“Besides you and Old Four, who else can I entrust it to?
Everything is always difficult at the beginning, but it will be fine once you get used to it. Just do it with confidence. Next time I bring back a large number of chips from the wasteland and build a communication system in Kunlun Square, your pressure will be reduced a lot."
Jasmine responded, Jiang Xia hung up the phone, reached out to grab the gun bag on the bedside table, took out his revolver, and loaded it with bullets.
It was quite troublesome to do this with one hand. It took Jiang Xia nearly a minute to load the bullet.
With a flick of his wrist, the magazine returned to the gun body and the muzzle moved upward. As Jiang Xia's arm swung, it finally stopped in front of the curtain that separated the inside and outside of the room.
"come out!"
He said coldly:
"Don't hide. I just found you."
Indeed, when Jiang Xia woke up, there were two life signals detected in his brain chip. One was outside the door, probably the protector arranged by Su.
The other was indoors, busy.
In the thermal imaging mode, a slender and blurry figure was reflected in Jiang Xia's eyes through the wooden partition wall.
Following his scolding, the person in the room seemed to be frightened. She stood up, took a few steps forward hesitantly, took a deep breath, and then pushed aside the curtain on the partition wall.
"Um?"
Jiang Xia's expression changed.
The person in front of him was a woman with a good figure and tall stature. She wore no heavy makeup and had her long hair half combed up with a golden hairpin, while the other half was draped over her shoulders.
She was wearing a black dress, as light as a veil.
The texture is excellent, and you can even see her beautiful body through the gauze skirt. She doesn't wear a tube top, and her charm is half-covered.
This woman is indeed beautiful.
She has a pure look, but the combination of her eyes and cheeks makes her look charming. Her figure is quite domineering, which is rare in this era of insufficient productivity.
She noticed Jiang Xia's scrutinizing gaze, which was so aggressive that the woman could not help but lower her head, her cheeks flushed. In addition to shame and anger, there was also a kind of resentment that could not be concealed.
Even a little desperate.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Xia asked without putting down the gun or moving his body.
"My name is Ruyue."
The woman answered in a low voice, her voice full of grace, as soft as the song of a lark, and she was already beautiful even before she opened her mouth.
But this time she opened her mouth, she became more feminine.
She lowered her head and said:
"Yes, Master Liu asked me to serve... you, the boss."
"Old Four?"
Jiang Xia frowned and said with a pout:
"You don't do serious work, but you do these fancy things. Go ahead, I don't need anyone to serve me."
As he spoke, he put the pistol back into his waist and stood up from the bed. However, he was not used to the loss of his left arm, and his injury had not yet healed, so he staggered when he stood up.
Before he could say anything else, a cup of fragrant tea was brought to his mouth.
Jiang Xia took a look and saw the woman serving him tea in an elegant manner. She obviously noticed Jiang Xia's dry lips and asked him to moisten his throat.
Seeing that Jiang Xia had difficulty with his arms, Ruyue stood on tiptoe and brought the teacup to the corner of Jiang Xia's mouth.
The movements are skillful and not abrupt.
Jiang Xia looked at her and opened his mouth slightly, and the tea was poured in. It was at just the right temperature, neither cold nor hot. It was obviously a fine tea with a sweet aftertaste. After he finished drinking the tea, Ruyue picked up the coat beside the bed and put it on Jiang Xia.
This woman probably used gouache, and a faint floral scent wafted into Jiangxia's nostrils. With the beauty in front of him, she also revealed a hint of gentleness that allowed him to have whatever he wanted.
Jiang Xia really needs help right now.
Otherwise it would be difficult to put on clothes with one hand, so he let Ruyue change his clothes for him.
"What did you do before? You are so good at serving people."
He asked.
Ruyue was quite calm. While tidying up Jiang Xia's coat, she said in a gentle voice:
“I used to be a singer in the county town. I was trained by my mother since I was young, so I was used to serving others. Later, I was redeemed by Lord Bao… Liu Bao and brought back to the mansion.
After Liu Bao disappeared, I was placed under house arrest there.
Until the masters came over, I was supposed to serve Master Liu, but Master Liu thought that there was no one to serve the boss, so he sent me here. "
"You are quite smart. You even know how to talk to the fourth brother."
Jiang Xia chuckled and no longer refused the woman's help.
After putting on her coat, he asked her to find a piece of white silk, tied up her bandaged left arm, and hung it around her neck, just like a patient in a plaster cast.
"You don't want to, do you?"
Jiang Xia walked towards the door, took a few steps, but did not push the door open and went out. Instead, he sat on a chair in the room.
He glanced at Kisaragi who was following him and said:
"Just now I noticed that there is resentment in your eyes. Tell me what you are thinking. The fourth brother has good intentions in asking you to take care of me.
But I am a very suspicious person.
I am not as lustful as the fourth brother. The more beautiful the woman who approaches me, the more worried I am.
This pretty face is your best disguise. If you don't explain clearly, I won't dare to let you be by my side. If you take out a knife and stab me when we get close in the future, then why bother?"
Hearing Jiang Xia's frank confession, Ruyue was also shocked, her cheeks turned pale, and she hurriedly explained:
"When I came here, I was searched by Master Su, and I didn't bring any weapons."
"I know you didn't."
Jiang Xia was in a good mood at the moment. He glanced at Ruyue's "sexy outfit" and said jokingly:
"You can't hide anything in these clothes. You don't look used to wearing them. Go change them."
Jiang Xia had good intentions.
But when Ruyue heard this, the woman's cheeks suddenly turned red. She seemed to have overthought it and felt that Jiang Xia's words had hidden meaning.
After hesitating for a few moments, he lowered his head and began to undress in front of Jiang Xia.
But what's there to take off in this set of clothes that the fourth brother "carefully selected"?
Just by untying a knot, the black gauze skirt slid down Ruyue's white and smooth skin.
Then a beautiful body was exposed in front of Jiang Xia. Ruyue knew that her fate depended entirely on the decision of the man in front of her, so she suppressed her shame and anger, closed her eyes and raised her head.
It's like a piece of merchandise that is passed from hand to hand, waiting for the new owner to play with it.
Men, huh.
Just as my mother once said, a poor woman like me could not escape this after all. However, the man in front of me spoke strangely and did not touch him when he was changing his clothes just now.
He is much better than Liu Bao, the lustful devil who wants to eat him up in one bite.
That's all.
So be it.
Ruyue had mixed feelings. After all, she was an innocent girl who had never been in love. Although she had her mother's words and deeds taught her for many years, she was still a little nervous when she really waited for this moment.
Her body was shaking, but the temperature in the room was not cold.
But being naked in front of a strange man still made her feel like she was standing in a cold wind, and she even got goose bumps on her arms.
However, after giving up resistance and waiting for several breaths, I did not feel any touch or next step.
Ruyue was a little confused.
She secretly opened her eyes and looked over. Jiang Xia was still sitting there, even with his legs crossed and his arms hanging. He took out a cigarette from his coat pocket with some difficulty.
He brought it to the corner of his mouth and took out an exquisite silver box.
He pressed the corners of his mouth twice, and a blue flame rose, lighting the cigarette. A smell of burning tobacco rose in the room.
He leaned there, blew out a smoke ring, then relaxedly held the cigarette between his fingers and placed it on the armrest of the armchair .
Just looking at Ruyue.
He looked her body up and down as if he was looking at a delicate piece of porcelain. There was admiration in his eyes, but there was no lustful light, really not at all!
Ruyue lowered her head and glanced at Jiang Xia's lower body vaguely, but there was no tent there.
This man!
what happened?
Ruyue was a little confused for a moment, this...
Is the man really calm and composed? Or is he suffering from a widower disease? All the men she had met before were not like this when facing her.
"You do have a beautiful body."
Jiang Xia said with regret:
"But alas, I have seen more beautiful ones, more than once, and those women are much more passionate than a shy virgin like you, and they will tease me.
Instead of being like you, a stiff wooden man, playing all your cards at once.
It doesn't even feel better than when I was wearing clothes just now.
Put on your clothes.
I don't like you anymore, I even hate you a little bit."
Jiang Xia took a puff of cigarette and said :
“Using the body as a trump card is too childish, I appreciate the beauty of wisdom more.
You don't look very smart, and it might be bad if you stay with me. Go find Lao Si. When Jasmine comes, you can go work for her. She needs a secretary to take care of her.
I have no use for your body.
But maybe you can create some value for me in another way.”
Ruyue stood there in a daze.
She was a little confused by Jiang Xia's lecture. When she was driven out of the door by Jiang Xia in men's clothes with a puzzled expression, she stood in the yard, still looking confused.
Her innocence was preserved.
But I don't know why, but I feel a little unconvinced.
She took another look at the black chiffon dress in her hand, and thinking of what Jiang Xia had just said, she suddenly became a little angry and threw the dress away.
He swayed his body and walked out of the yard.
It is highly likely that she will not need this kind of thing to please men in the future.
"well"
After Ruyue left, Jiang Xia sighed with regret in the room, turned around and said to the window at the back of the room:
"Since you're here, let's chat."
