"Little ng, are you there? Speak to !"
Aunt Gui walked towards the partition.
"Clang, clang, clang..."
The sound of high heels striking the floor resonated, echoing in Xu Xiaong's heart.
She had been bold then, but now she was in a panic.
If Aunt Gui saw this, how could she face anyone again?
"No..."
Xu Xiaong turned around, her face flushed, looking at Zhang Xiaoshan with pleading eyes. Zhang Xiaoshan smirked mischievously and stopped his actions.
Xu Xiaong caught her breath and hurriedly spoke.
"Ah, Aunt Gui, I'm here. I, my stomach hurts, I'll be out soon."
"Oh..."
Hearing Xu Xiaong's voice, Aunt Gui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"As long as you're there. Stomach ache, did you eat sothing bad?"
"Then, I'll wait for you here."
"Ah, don't wait for , go wait outside the restaurant. With you here, I, how can I..."
"Alright then, I'll go wait outside, in front of the bathroom."
Aunt Gui was about to leave.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, her gaze swept down to the empty space below the partition.
Through it, she could see so of the situation inside.
A pair of small feet in little white shoes were tiptoed forward.
A pair of large feet in black sneakers following closely, or rather, intertwined.
Aunt Gui, being of a certain age.
In a flash, her mind filled in the imagery.
"Little ng, you..."
Startled, she almost shouted, but suddenly caught herself.
"Okay, I'll, I'll wait outside for you, you, hurry up."
Her face reddened, she hurried out of the bathroom.
What a predicant.
...
Half an hour later, Xu Xiaong finally erged from the bathroom.
Aunt Gui tactfully did not ask more.
Though her expression was a bit unusual.
Xu Xiaong left, taking Zhang Xiaoshan's longing with her.
In the days that followed, Zhang Xiaoshan t with Lin Yanran, Jiang Man, and Luo ili, took a trip back to White Dragon Village to inspect the progress of the resort's construction and visited the villagers, of course also engaging in deep conversations with Ge Xiue and other won.
"Sister-in-law, where exactly are you?"
Zhang Xiaoshan was still missing his sister-in-law, Yu Xiuxiu.
Yu Xiuxiu had been gone for a while, and he had been asking around for her whereabouts.
But there had been no results at all.
One early morning half a month later.
Zhang Xiaoshan had just returned from cultivating at the ruins of the Immortal dical Sect in the back mountain.
At his front door, there was a stretched Cadillac Escalade parked.
The presence was formidable.
"Has a guest arrived?"
A person jumped out of the car.
A burly man.
"Miracle Doctor Zhang, I beg you to save a life."
The burly man knelt in front of Zhang Xiaoshan and began to weep.
"Who are you?"
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the visitor, montarily stunned.
What the heck is this about?
"It's , it's !"
The burly man desperately explained to Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Liu Dajiang, the richest man in the West Shanxi region, leader of the Yellow River Cao Gang."
"We t at that small antique auction. You, you imdiately saw through the Black Mage's sinister plot and gave an elixir to save my mother's life..."
"Oh, it's you..."
With Liu Dajiang's reminder, Zhang Xiaoshan rembered.
"Right, you're a devoted son, I rember you."
"I see you're in good health, what do you need saving for? If you're being chased by enemies, that's even simpler, go to the security departnt."
Saying this, Zhang Xiaoshan moved past Liu Dajiang, intending to go ho to sleep.
"It's not , it's my mother, save my mother's life..."
Liu Dajiang raised his voice in urgency.
"Your mother?" Follow current novᴇls on NovᴇlFɪre.ɴet
Zhang Xiaoshan, having just taken a few steps, turned back, looking at Liu Dajiang with so confusion.
"Didn't I give you an elixir that cures all diseases and enhances physical health? Your mother took it. If not for living a hundred years, she should at least be healthy for many more years, why are you coming to ?"
"Yes, yes..."
Liu Dajiang tearfully responded.
"I gave my mother the elixir, and she recovered well at first. But in less than a month, she fell ill again, worse than before. Now she's critical, I'm desperate and have co back to you."
"I beg you to grant a few more of those elixirs. I'm willing to trade my entire wealth for them, please save her."
Don't let Liu Dajiang's tall and fierce look mislead you; he's a tender soul at heart.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan furrowed his brows.
"If what you're saying is true, then even a hundred Revitalizing Pills would be useless."
"Because your mother isn't sick; she's either poisoned or under a curse."
"What?"
Liu Dajiang, amidst tears, was stunned.
