Hua Yi Xia Li

Chapter 245 Someone Hit Me

Long Xiao walked into the living room of the Lu family villa's main building. Xiao Ming was sitting on the sofa, eating with excitement. A pile of precious medicinal herbs was laid out on the coffee table.

Jiang Ming couldn't help but advise, "Brother Xiao Ming, stop eating. Eating too many medicinal herbs will cause internal heat."

Xiao Ming said carelessly, "It's fine. The experts said that ginseng and radishes have the same nutritional value, so eating more is fine." Xiao Ming popped a ginseng root into his mouth and mumbled incoherently as he chewed.

"Brother Xiao Ming, listening to experts can be fatal."

"Don't say bad things about experts. Experts' words are fair and just. If they say it can be eaten, then it can be eaten." Xiao Ming picked up another ginseng root and said.

Seeing Long Xiao enter, Xiao Ming stopped eating the ginseng root. Long Xiao sat on the sofa without speaking. Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, directly put the ginseng root into his mouth, and began to chew vigorously.

Old Master Lu, who followed Long Xiao into the living room, felt his heart bleeding. These Chinese medicinal herbs were all good quality, aged herbs he had accumulated over the past few years.

Although it pained him to see it, Old Master Lu dared not speak. Wealth is external. One wrong word, and this little jinx might get angry, and he might not even be able to protect his limbs.

Seeing that Long Xiao still looked unhappy, Old Master Lu knelt before him with a thud.

"Brother, sir, please spare us. Er Bei was blind and offended you. I'll send someone to bury him immediately."

"No, no, don't do that. Killing people is against the law," Ji Yuelan said hurriedly, afraid that Old Master Lu would kill someone.

Long Xiao pointed at Old Master Lu and said, "Get up and listen to me."

Old Master Lu shakily got up and stood before the coffee table. Long Xiao pointed at Jiang Ming and said, "Jiang Ming is my brother. From now on, in Lingcheng, Jiang Ming's words are my words. If you dare to disobey, I will destroy your entire family."

Old Master Lu quickly turned and cupped his fists at Jiang Ming, saying, "Brother Jiang will be my boss from now on. If there's anything, just let me know, and I'll handle it immediately."

After Old Master Lu finished speaking, Long Xiao said again, "Do fewer wicked things in the future and accumulate more virtue and good deeds."

"Okay, okay, I'll do more good deeds from now on," Old Master Lu said, bowing and scraping.

Long Xiao was lecturing Old Master Lu when he heard someone outside shout loudly, "Big Brother, what's going on? So many people are injured."

Following the voice, the person pushed open the living room door and walked in.

Upon seeing Long Xiao, the newcomer threw down the bag in his hand, and with a thud, knelt on the ground in fright, saying, "Big Brother, we were wrong, please don't kill us."

Long Xiao looked closely and recognized the person as one of the assassins from when the Ge family siblings were attacked.

"What wicked deed have you been up to again?"

"No, no, I just went to get some medicinal herbs."

Long Xiao waved his hand impatiently and said, "Alright, get up."

The assassin, still kneeling, quickly stood up and stood behind Old Master Lu.

Jiang Ming said, "Brother Long, don't you need some medicinal herbs? If you do, you can ask Old Master Lu to find them for you."

Long Xiao nodded and said, "As long as they are aged enough, any medicinal herbs will do."

Old Master Lu said, "Brother Long, I'll send people to find them right away, immediately."

Old Master Lu went to find the herbs. Long Xiao saw Xiao Ming still eating and said, "Xiao Ming, stop eating. We need to save some for when we go to the capital."

Reluctantly, Xiao Ming put the lingzhi in his hand into the bag. He then opened the bags on the ground, which also contained herbs like ginseng.

After packing the herbs from the coffee table, they waited at the Lu family villa for over an hour. Old Master Lu entered with a large bag of herbs.

Without looking, Long Xiao knew the herbs were of good quality just by smelling them.

Taking out his phone, Long Xiao intended to pay. Old Master Lu hurriedly said, "Brother Long, these are gifts from your brother. They are free, truly free."

Old Master Lu repeatedly refused, so Long Xiao no longer insisted on paying.

After loading the herbs into the car, Xiao Ming and Ji Yuelan drove away from the Lu family villa. Long Xiao asked Jiang Ming to book him a flight ticket to the capital before getting into the car to leave.

Old Master Lu stood at the villa entrance until Jiang Ming's car disappeared from view before letting out a long sigh and slumping to the ground, his legs weak.

This strength is too terrifying, simply not human. Old Master Lu secretly rejoiced that Long Xiao had no intention of killing, otherwise, he and his brothers would not have survived.

The plane was scheduled to depart at 3 PM. Long Xiao and Jiang Ming found a restaurant for lunch before Jiang Ming drove him to the airport.

The plane took off on time at 3 PM. Long Xiao had little luggage. He boarded the plane, sat down, and closed his eyes to rest.

"Little brother, could I switch seats with you?" a soft, gentle voice, like a feather, asked.

Long Xiao opened his eyes and saw a woman in her early thirties, dressed fashionably, looking down at him.

Beside Long Xiao sat an elderly man in an expensive suit, with a faint dark aura around his brow.

Long Xiao stood up and said, "Of course."

The woman's seat was not far from Long Xiao's. After Long Xiao sat down, he looked back at the woman. She smiled gently at him to express her gratitude.

After the plane took off smoothly, Long Xiao stopped paying attention to the elder and the woman. He closed his eyes again and began to study the "Dragon Scripture."

Half an hour passed quickly. Long Xiao was contemplating a massage technique when he suddenly heard someone shout, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Long Xiao opened his eyes and saw the woman who had swapped seats with him earlier, holding the elder, shouting with great anxiety.

The elder was having difficulty breathing, his face turning blue, his mouth wide open, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't inhale.

A flight attendant ran over and, seeing the elder's condition, also panicked and shouted loudly, "Is there a doctor? Is there a doctor?"

Just as Long Xiao was about to get up, a middle-aged man stood up from not far away and said, "I am the director of Internal Medicine at Huasu Hospital in Beijing."

The middle-aged man went to the elder and began to perform emergency massage. Two minutes later, the elder slumped limply in his seat. The middle-aged man stood up, sweating profusely, and said, "I'm sorry, young lady. Your grandfather had an acute myocardial infarction. I was powerless."

Long Xiao stood up and walked to the woman, saying, "Miss, may I give it a try?"

"Are you a doctor?" the middle-aged man asked.

Long Xiao shook his head and said, "No, I sold fake medicine for a few years when I was young."

Upon hearing that he was a fake medicine peddler, the middle-aged man pushed Long Xiao away and said, "Why is a fake medicine peddler interfering? This is not a place for you to show off."

Long Xiao smiled and pointed at the elder, who had stopped breathing, and said, "You show off then. Save him."

"He's already dead, how can I save him?"

"You can't save him, but you won't let me save him. Do you have a grudge against the old man?" Long Xiao said.

Seeing the middle-aged man blocking Long Xiao from saving him, the woman stood up and slapped him, saying, "Get out of here! My grandfather is dead, and I want your entire family to pay with their lives."

The gentleness from before was gone. The woman now looked like a furious she-wolf.

The middle-aged man retreated, covering his face. Long Xiao stepped forward, unbuckled the elder's seatbelt, and began to massage his pericardium meridian. After clearing the meridians, he placed the elder on his lap and gave his back a forceful slap.

With a loud cough, the elder spat out a mouthful of black, stagnant blood and let out a long breath.

As Long Xiao placed the elder back in his seat, the bluish color on his face gradually faded, and his breathing became much smoother.

"Ling'er, what happened just now? It felt like someone hit me," the elder asked weakly, opening his eyes and looking at the woman.

Seeing that the elder had woken up, the woman hugged him happily, tears streaming down her face. "Grandpa, you're awake! That's great, that's great."
