Chapter 131 Retaliation
After Qianhuan left the cave, she hurried to the empty grassland where she and Mr. Cai usually practiced sword-fighting. Unfortunately, there was no one on the grassland and there was no sign of Mr. Cai at all.
Qianhuan tried to shout a few times to the people around her: "Brother Yunlong, Brother Yunlong..."
Pumpkin, who was waiting in the pavilion, suddenly heard someone calling "Brother Yunlong" and ran out immediately.
Qianhuan also noticed Pumpkin. She ran up and asked, "Pumpkin, why are you here? Why didn't Brother Yunlong come today?"
Pumpkin looked at the woman in the veil in front of him and asked in confusion: "Who are you?"
Qianhua then remembered that she was wearing women's clothes. She didn't plan to hide it from Pumpkin anymore. She lifted her veil and said, "Pumpkin, I'm Brother Shanbo."
When Pumpkin saw her face, he realized it was indeed Brother Shanbo. He exclaimed, "So Brother Shanbo is a woman."
"Well, Pumpkin, please keep this a secret and don't tell anyone."
"Okay, I won't tell anyone. But should I call you brother or sister from now on?"
"When there are outsiders around, you should call me Brother Shanbo. In private, you can call me Sister Qianhuan. You haven't told me why you are here today. Where is Brother Yunlong?"
Pumpkin said, "Sister Qianhua, Brother Yunlong said he can't come to practice sword with you today."
"What's wrong with Brother Yunlong? Why can't you come today?"
Pumpkin bit his lip and frowned, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Then he explained, "Brother Yunlong said he had some matters to deal with at home, so he sent me here to tell Sister Qianhuan."
"Pumpkin, children should not learn to lie. Brother Yunlong doesn't have any family at all. How could there be something to deal with at home? Tell me quickly, what happened to Brother Yunlong?"
"I can't tell you. Brother Yunlong told me not to tell you." Pumpkin looked embarrassed.
"Okay, if you don't tell me, I'll go to the cabin to find him by myself." Qianhuan said and walked towards the cabin.
Pumpkin suddenly became anxious, and he quickly chased after her and said, "Sister Qianhua, wait for me, I'll tell you."
Qianhuan then stopped and turned around to look at him.
Pumpkin immediately said, "Brother Yunlong offended the county magistrate's brother-in-law some time ago. Last night, Mr. Liu brought people to teach Brother Yunlong and his brothers a lesson. They also demolished our cabin. Brother Yunlong was seriously injured and couldn't get out of bed, so he couldn't come to teach you martial arts."
Upon hearing this, Qianhuan immediately felt a little guilty. It must be because last time at Zuixianju, Brother Yunlong beat up that man of Master Liu in order to protect her. Then Master Liu couldn't find her and didn't dare to seek revenge on Master Chu's cousin, so he could only take revenge on Brother Yunlong.
Pumpkin continued, "Master Liu also said that all vendors in Qingxi County will be under the jurisdiction of the county government, and Brother Yunlong is not allowed to collect stall fees anymore. Brother Yunlong was injured and lost his job to earn money, so he was very depressed. He didn't allow me to tell you about this."
Qianhuan immediately said to Pumpkin, "Pumpkin, accompany me to the pharmacy. I'm going to buy some blood-activating and blood-stasis-dispersing medicine for Brother Yunlong."
"it is good."
The two went to Renjitang Pharmacy together. Qianhuan asked the medicine boy to get her some medicated oil to promote blood circulation and dissipate blood stasis. Thinking that there was a man in black who was stabbed in the cave, Qianhuan bought some wound medicine.
When she and Pumpkin returned to the cabin, they saw that the originally good little yard had now become almost a ruin, with only one small corner left.
The little beggars formed a circle and huddled in that small corner. They surrounded Big Brother Yunlong, who was lying on a wooden board with wounds all over his body and his eyes closed.
On the other side, several of Brother Yunlong's younger brothers were also injured. They were hammering and pounding, trying to rebuild the cabin, but unfortunately the house was too badly damaged to be repaired in a short time.
Qianhuan hurried over. Looking at Master Cai lying on the wooden board with wounds all over his body, she couldn't help but tear up.
When the little beggars saw someone coming to see Brother Yunlong, they all got up quietly and went to play in the yard.
As for Cai Xiaoye's younger brothers, seeing a woman coming to see their boss for the first time, they all quietly walked away, leaving space for the two people.
Qianhuan took off the veil on her head only after she saw that everyone had gone far away.
Qianhuan choked up and said, "Brother Yunlong, I'm sorry. It was because you protected me that you were retaliated by that bastard. I'm really sorry."
Mr. Cai was lying with his back to Qianhuan. When he heard the familiar voice, he thought he was hallucinating.
When he slowly opened his eyes and turned around, he saw that the person in front of him was actually Qianhuan. He felt a little happy, "Qianhuan, you're here?"
"Well, Brother Yunlong, I'm here to see you."
Cai Xiaoye thought about his current miserable state, and immediately glared at Pumpkin beside him, saying angrily: "Pumpkin, didn't I tell you not to say it? Why didn't you listen to me?"
Pumpkin immediately looked aggrieved, "Brother Yunlong, I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to say that."
Qianhuan couldn't hold back her tears at this point. She said to Master Cai, "Brother Yunlong, this is not Nangua's fault. I forced him to say it. You taught me martial arts for such a long time. You are at least half my master. How could you hide such a thing from your own disciple?"
Seeing her tear-stained face, Master Cai quickly spoke to comfort her, "Okay, okay, I don't blame Pumpkin, but you don't cry anymore."
Qianhuan was still shedding tears, looking guilty, "I'm just sad. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been beaten like this."
"Qianhuan, you don't have to blame yourself. It's not your fault. Even if the last incident hadn't happened, that bastard would have attacked me sooner or later for this piece of fat meat on the stall. Stop crying."
Mr. Cai stretched out his hand and wanted to wipe the tears from her face, but when he thought of the differences between men and women, he retracted his hand.
Qianhuan asked distressedly: "Brother Yunlong, you must be in a lot of pain."
"It doesn't hurt. I'm a grown man with thick skin and tough flesh. It doesn't hurt at all." Young Master Cai said as if nothing had happened.
However, when Qianhuan reached out to touch the wound on his hand, he couldn't help but gasp.
Qianhuan knew that he was very proud, so she didn't expose him. She just took out the medicated oil from her bosom and handed it to him, saying, "This is the blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine I bought for you. Hurry up and ask one of your subordinates to help you apply the medicated oil on the wound. This way it will heal faster."
"Okay, thank you, Qianhua."
Master Cai called someone over to help apply the medicated oil. Qianhuan quickly put on her veil again and turned her back.
Qianhuan turned her back to them and asked, "Brother Yunlong, you are so good at martial arts, and those people of Master Liu are only mediocre at martial arts. How could you be beaten like this by them?"
At this time, the younger brother who was helping Master Cai apply the medicated oil could not help but say angrily, "It was because that bastard had his men capture these kids as threats. Our boss did not fight back for the safety of these kids. Otherwise, with our boss Cai's martial arts, he would have beaten that mob long ago."
Qianhuan didn't expect that bastard was so insidious that he actually took these unarmed and innocent children hostage. If she had known that the bastard would do such a thing to Brother Yunlong, she should have hit him harder today and beat him so hard that his parents wouldn't recognize him.
Liang Qianhuan has taken note of this grudge and she will definitely seek justice for Brother Yunlong.
After Master Cai finished applying the medicine, Qianhua asked, "Brother Yunlong, now that you don't have the stall fees to collect, how are you and your subordinates going to make a living in the future? And what are you going to do with these children? Are you going to continue to take care of them?"
Master Cai was silent for a while, then said firmly, "Let's take it one step at a time. I also lost my parents when I was young. I know too well how hard it is for orphans without parents to protect them. So no matter what, I will do my best to help these children."
"The money I have now is enough for them to live for four or five days. My injuries should be almost healed by then. I will then think of other ways to make money."
Qianhuan didn't expect that even though Brother Yunlong had reached this point, he still had to take care of these children.
People always say "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world", but he could barely support himself, yet he still had to help these orphans.
Forget it, since Brother Yunlong wants to help them and she also wants to help Brother Yunlong, then she will find a way to help these poor children.
Qianhuan originally wanted to give the money directly to Young Master Cai, but then she changed her mind and realized that a man with such a strong self-esteem as Big Brother Yunlong would definitely not want to take money from a woman. If she gave him the money directly, he would probably feel that she was looking down on him and pitying him, which would only hurt his self-esteem further.
Qianhuan thought about it and had a plan in mind, so she said, "Well, Brother Yunlong, you should heal your wounds as soon as possible. After you are healed, you can think about the following things."
Qianhuan helped clean up the cabin. Suddenly, she remembered that the man in black was still unconscious in the cave. She quickly found an excuse to say goodbye and leave.
She hurried back to the cave with the golden medicine, only to find that the entrance was open. The dead branches and plants that she had originally covered the entrance had been pulled to both sides of the entrance at some point.
Qianhuan thought to herself that something was wrong, and when she walked in, she found that the cave was empty.
