The first volume of pearl curtains rolls up the western mountain rain at dusk Chapter 29 I'm in it for the money
Li Diudiu came out of Yan Qingzhi's courtyard and walked towards his residence. Halfway there, he saw Sun Rugong waiting on the roadside. Li Diudiu felt a little bored and didn't want to pay attention to him, but when the guy saw Li Diudiu, he smiled and waved, and Li Diudiu couldn't avoid him.
Sun Rugong walked over quickly, clasped his hands together and said, "I've thought about this for a long time, and I think I should make some things clear to you before the monthly exam."
Li Diudiu politely returned the greeting and said, " Just say whatever you want to say."
Sun Rugong apologized, "I know I did some wrong things before. It was just because I was competitive and I knew I was not as good as you, so I was afraid that you would get first place. But think about it, no matter whether you or I get first place, we will not be studying in the same school in the future."
He paused and continued, "So I mustered up the courage to come here and say sorry to you. I was wrong about what happened before. I'm sorry."
Li Diudiu was stunned. He looked carefully into Sun Rugong's eyes because he didn't believe it.
Sun Rugong said, "I know you don't believe me, but you'll see later. Just wait and see whether I will provoke you or not. I told my parents about you after I got home. They said that I had a low standard. I thought about it and that's probably the case. So I don't ask that we can be friends in the future, but I ask that we don't interfere with each other in the future."
Li Diudiu nodded: "As you wish."
Sun Rugong clasped his fists and said, "Well, that's all I have to say. I have a dinner party and a few of my brothers have been slightly injured. I'll go take a look and ask if I can help."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Li Diudiu walked forward a few steps and then stopped, wondering what Sun Rugong meant when he said that several of his brothers had suffered minor injuries.
On the day when he, his master and Xiahou Zhuo were traveling to Fengming Mountain, he knew that someone was following them, and it was Xiahou Zhuo's men who took care of those people.
So he looked back and saw Sun Rugong walking away quickly without looking back.
Li Diudiu thought for a while, but did not go back to his residence. Instead, he walked towards the courtyard where Xiahou Zhuo lived. He shouted outside the courtyard for a long time but Xiahou Zhuo did not come out. A disciple of the academy, about 16 or 17 years old, passed by and said to Li Diudiu after seeing him, "Don't shout. I just saw Xiahou Zhuo leaving the academy in a hurry. It seems like something happened."
Li Diudiu frowned.
He thanked him and ran towards the academy gate.
The man watched Li Diudiu running away and a smile of success appeared on his lips.
On the other side, Xiahou Zhuo, who was lifting a stone lock on the small training ground of the academy, stopped and looked at the person who was looking for him: "Are you saying that Sun Rugong tricked Li Chi out?"
The man nodded and said, "I just happened to see Li Chi coming out of Instructor Yan's place. On the way, he met Sun Rugong, who said something to him. When I got closer, I only heard your name mentioned, and then Li Chi hurriedly ran out of the academy."
Xiahou Zhuo threw the stone lock on the ground, grabbed his gown and strode out.
When the person who brought the news saw Xiahou Zhuo leaving, a smug smile appeared on his lips, exactly the same smile as the one who had cheated Li Diudiu away before.
Li Diudiu ran to the gate of the academy. He knew the gatekeeper, who was also familiar with Xiahou Zhuo, so he asked the gatekeeper: "Senior Brother Liu, have you seen Xiahou Zhuo?"
The gatekeeper named Liu Geng nodded and said, "I saw him. He ran over there in a hurry. I don't know what happened. He ignored me when I greeted him."
Li Diudiu thanked him and then rushed out in the direction he was pointed.
After running for about a mile or two, he saw a few disciples wearing academy uniforms at the entrance of a restaurant. They seemed to be waiting for someone. Li Diudiu called out to them, "Brothers, have you seen Xiahou Zhuo?"
The men looked at each other, and then someone raised his hand and pointed in a direction: "Just saw him, he went that way."
Li Diudiu accelerated and rushed forward, hoping that nothing would happen to that guy.
Just as he ran past the restaurant, Xiahou Zhuo rushed out of the academy, looked at Liu Geng and asked, "Have you seen Li Chi?"
Liu Geng pointed in the direction where Li Chi ran and said, "He just ran over there. I don't know what happened. He looked very hurried. He didn't respond when I greeted him."
Xiahou Zhuo responded and rushed forward in one breath. He ran for a mile or two and arrived outside the restaurant. Several disciples in school uniforms were still chatting there. Xiahou Zhuo shouted from a distance, "Have you seen Li Chi?"
One of them pointed and said, "Just past that, over there."
But he was not pointing in the direction Li Diudiu ran. The restaurant was at a crossroads, and Li Diudiu ran straight along the road, while the direction the man pointed to Xiahou Zhuo was to turn right.
Xiahou Zhuo turned at the intersection and ran forward. After running for a while, he saw a short man in hospital uniform running in front of him. From the back, he saw it was Li Chi, so Xiahou Zhuo shouted and accelerated again.
The two people were walking one in front and one behind, about seventy or eighty feet apart. Xiahou Zhuo shouted a few times, but the person in front didn't hear him and turned into the next intersection.
Xiahou Zhuo cursed Li Chi, "You deaf man," and rushed forward with gritted teeth.
The person running in front was not Li Chi, but Sun Rugong. He was almost the same height as Li Chi, and was wearing the same hospital uniform. They were not close, so naturally he could not .
Xiahou Zhuo chased to the intersection, turned around and saw that Li Chi had already run to the next intersection, and disappeared after turning a corner . He wondered how this little guy could run so fast!
After chasing him to an intersection and turning a corner, he saw a yard with an open door over there. Li Chi was kicked in the back by someone, and then the man raised a knife and was about to stab him.
At this moment, Xiahou Zhuo’s eyes widened and he roared angrily.
"stop!"
The tiger-like shout startled the man. He raised his head to look at Xiahou Zhuo, then got up and ran away. Xiahou Zhuo could see clearly that although the man had his face covered, he looked like Sun Biehe.
Xiahou Zhuo ran into the yard and saw Li Chi lying on the ground motionless. Apparently the kick was heavy enough, so Xiahou Zhuo leaned over to pick Li Chi up.
But the moment he bent down he stopped.
He said, "Let me give you a hand."
The next moment, he kicked the man on the ground, causing him to roll over. The kick was quite powerful, and the man groaned, rolled over several times, and then stopped, not moving at all.
This kick stunned the people who were lying in ambush around.
A group of killers in black came out from all directions, and someone closed the gate of the courtyard.
Xiahou Zhuo looked around and actually laughed and said, "My good-for-nothing brothers have finally learned how to play big."
Sun Rugong was kicked. If Xiahou Zhuo had not intended to kill anyone, this kick would have killed him. He was knocked unconscious for a moment, and when he woke up, he immediately turned around and looked at Xiahou Zhuo. He was so scared that his face turned pale and he tried to crawl forward.
At least twenty men in black surrounded them, with long knives in their hands.
Xiahou Zhuo took off his long gown while backing away. He noticed a water tank behind him. He backed to the side of the tank and pushed his long gown into the water. When he took it out, water flowed down.
A killer in black rushed forward with his knife raised high. Xiahou Zhuo shook his gown, and the wet clothes lashed the killer's face like a whip, knocking the black scarf off his face in an instant.
The killer took a step back in pain, his face turning red.
Xiahou Zhuo curled his lips and said, "It seems that the price of the guests we invited this time is not high. Are my brothers so stingy?"
Several assassins behind rushed up at the same time. Xiahou Zhuo turned his long gown around, and the rolled-up clothes were like a cloth stick. He swept it across and hit the neck of the assassin in front, knocking him to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the cloth stick was retracted and, like a poisonous snake coming out of a hole, it was thrown directly at a killer's face. With a crisp sound, the killer's head tilted back and he couldn't control his body and fell backwards.
At this moment, the courtyard door slammed, and the tightly closed wooden door was kicked open by someone. The two door panels flew out, and the killer guarding the door was knocked down by the door panels.
Li Diudiu stood at the door and looked. He had a rope in his hand, which looked like it was connected to his trouser pockets. He carried the rope on his shoulders and dragged four men in black behind him. They were obviously beaten badly and their faces were distorted.
"Hello!"
Li Diudiu shouted to Xiahou Zhuo, "Make a quotation."
Xiahou Zhuo kicked the approaching assassin away and snorted, "I can handle it myself."
Li Diudiu shrugged his shoulders and actually did not go up. Instead, he walked aside and sat down. The killers around him didn't know whether they should go up and kill him for a moment.
Li Diudiu looked at the hesitant killers and smiled, "He is stingy and won't give me a price. How about you give me a price and I will help you kill him?"
"Boy, you're looking for death!"
A killer in black strode over and chopped at Li Diudiu's head. Li Diudiu rushed forward and hit the assassin's stomach with his shoulder, so the knife missed. He used his shoulder to hold the assassin and punched him in the crotch. After three or four punches, the assassin fell down with his face deformed.
It turns out that the four guys he dragged back just now had deformed faces because they were hit in the face. People are really amazing. They can twist their faces.
Li Diudiu shouted to Xiahou Zhuo, "There are five now."
Xiahou Zhuo shouted, "They must have some silver on them. Go and look them up. What do you want from me?"
Li Diudiu nodded: "That makes sense."
Then he checked all five people and found that they all had silver bills on them. The amount of silver bills on each of them was the same, one hundred taels.
He picked up five hundred taels of silver, and happily waved the banknote in his hand towards Xiahou Zhuo: "You are quite valuable."
Xiahou Zhuo: “Bullshit!”
Li Diudiu said: "Is it worth it?"
Xiahou Zhuo said: "If you don't help me, I'll fart on you."
Li Diudiu stretched out his legs and kicked the garden wall next to him, causing a section of the wall to collapse. He picked up a brick, but the brick was too big for his hand, so it was inconvenient to hold it with one hand. He held the brick with both hands and raised it above his head, then ran out and threw it forward...
With a bang, a killer was hit on the back of his head by a blue brick and fell to the ground without even a sound.
Li Diudiu went back and picked up another green brick. He took aim and the brick flew out, spinning and knocking down another one.
Xiahou Zhuo hit and he smashed. After smashing a few things, the men in black felt something was wrong. There were fewer and fewer companions around them. There were only three or four people left who had besieged Xiahou Zhuo at the beginning.
They looked at each other, turned and ran.
Xiahou Zhuo was too lazy to chase them, and on the other side, Sun Biehe and Sun Rugong had already run away, and no one knew when they ran away.
Xiahou Zhuo stretched his arms a few times, walked up to Li Diudiu and asked, "How did you find me?"
Li Diudiu said: "When something happens too coincidentally, there will always be something wrong."
He asked Xiahou Zhuo: "Did you hear that I was tricked out and come here to save me?"
Xiahou Zhuo nodded: "What about you?"
Li Diudiu raised the banknote in his hand and said, "I didn't do this to save you. I just did it to steal your money."
