Chapter Fifty-Nine Return to Shigang Town

  The morning sunlight shines all over the land, and the lush flowers, grasses, and trees are releasing their life breath freely.

  Shiguan Town, Guangming City.

  One by one, smiling faces, the hawkers' loud calls, on this bustling street, form a happy and healthy life picture.

  Zhang Yi walked towards Old Wang's tavern with a travel bag on his back, holding freshly steamed meat buns and hot doujiang that emitted a strong fragrance. He was immersed in the bustling yet beautiful atmosphere. The killings of last night and the accumulated anger in his heart were also washed away by this beautiful scene, and his heart settled down.

  Old Wang's Wine Shop entrance.

  Yin Yin supported her chin, with a pair of bright eyes full of expectation, looking towards the end of the street in the distance.

  "Xiao Yinyin, let's eat!"

  Yao Tiantian, with her slender figure and exuding a youthful aura, hummed a tune as she walked out of the tavern, reached out to grab Yin's delicate arm, and lifted her up.

  "Is it time to eat?"

  Yin Yin's reluctant gaze was withdrawn as she turned her hand over and grasped Yao Tian Tian's neck.

  "Ah, here's the egg drop soup with lean pork that your grandfather made for you himself. It smells so good and is delicious." Yao Tian Tian turned around and walked towards the inside of the house.

  On her delicate and lovely little face, a few hints of expectation were revealed, but her gaze still subconsciously swept towards the distant alley entrance.

  Suddenly!

  Her bright eyes widened, and a look of surprise quickly appeared. She struggled free from Yao Tian's embrace, stood on the ground, and then rushed towards the end of the box.

  Yao Tiantian's eyes were filled with a bewildered expression, and she turned to look towards the distant alley entrance. Suddenly, she saw Zhang Yi walking over with a smile on his face, carrying a travel bag on his back.

  On her delicate and lovely little face, a brilliant smile was hanging, because she was too excited, tears had already welled up in her bright eyes.

  "Uncle!"

  Zhang Yi smiled and squatted down, opening his arms wide to hug Yin Yin who had rushed over. He laughed and said: "Yin Yin darling, have you been good these two days? Have you missed your uncle?"

  Yinyin's eyes were brimming with tears as she nodded and said: "Yinyin is very well-behaved, but I miss Uncle, I'm afraid Uncle won't come back."

  Zhang Wei's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of tenderness arose as he gently stroked the soft hair. As he walked towards Yao Tian Tian who was approaching him, he smiled and said: "Why would Uncle not come back? In the future, Yin Yin will follow Uncle, if I leave, I'll take Yin Yin with me."

  "Zhang Yi, you've done something wrong, do you know that? Look, Yin Yin has been behaving well these past few days, and as soon as you come back, you make her cry." Yao Tian Tian said with a hint of a smile, but intentionally spoke in a serious tone.

  "Sorry..." Zhang Yi smiled and said.

  Yin Yin shook her little head, wiping away the tears on her face with her sleeve, and said hastily: "It's just Yin Yin who is too happy, it has nothing to do with Uncle."

  Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Still, Yinyin baby is sensible."

  "Are you saying I don't understand things?"

  Yao Tiantian smiled with a hint of mischief and said with her eyes wide open.

  "Alright, alright, I was wrong, you all understand. Let's go! I've bought the Golden Tailed Fungus needed for treating Auntie Li, I'll put away my luggage first and then bring the fungus to the medical hall." Zhang Yi said with a smile.

  "Did you buy it back?"

  Yao Tian Tian exclaimed in shock with a face full of incredulity.

  She remembered very clearly that Old Man Hao had said before, Jin Wei Teng was a rare and precious medicinal material, worth thousands of dollars, once it appeared in the market, it would be immediately bought by people who recognized its value.

  Does Zhang Yi have so much money?

  How can his luck be so good?

  "He didn't come back."

  Zhang Yi nodded firmly, then hugged Yin Yin, who was smiling, and walked towards the entrance of the tavern.

  Old Wang's Tavern

  Drunk, Fairy Yao walked out of the kitchen with a apron tied around his waist and a spoon in his hand. When he saw Zhang Yi, he was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing:

  "Are you back? Have you found Jintai?"

  Zhang Yi put down Yin Yin, untied the backpack behind him, and smiled: "I've already bought it back. Have Li Dasa and others gotten up? I'll take her to the medical hall later and have Hao Qianbei treat her."

  When he left a few days ago, Li Cuie and Wang Xiaofei were arranged to live in the old Wang's tavern. Even when Zhang Yi was about to leave, he took Wang Xiaofei with him to buy some clothes and daily necessities for the mother and son duo.

  "Did you buy it back?" Yao Tianxiao exclaimed.

  Zhang Yi was speechless with laughter. This Yao Tianxiao is indeed worthy of being Yao Xiantian's grandfather, the reactions of these two are really identical.

  Half an hour later.

  Hao Chengxiao in the medical hall, stared blankly at the golden tail vine in his hand, and for a long time he didn't react. The preciousness of the golden tail vine was as clear as a mirror in his heart. When Zhang Yi went to the Zhucheng City medicinal material market earlier, he actually didn't think much of it.

  After all, such precious medicinal materials can be found in just one trip?

  Looking at the golden-tailed wisteria in front of him, he was shocked and couldn't describe his emotions with anything else.

  "Hao, hurry up and treat Li's aunt! The sooner you treat her, the sooner she'll recover." Zhang Yi said with a smile.

  Hao Cheng Xiao finally came to his senses from the shock, and without asking Zhang Yi how he found Jintai Teng, he quickly made preparations for treating Li Cuie.

  Zhang Yi did not disturb Hao Cheng Xiao, but stood quietly beside him, holding Yin Yin and watching.

  A whole hour.

  Zhang Yi's eyes sparkled with a hint of sharpness, firmly remembering the treatment methods used by Hao Cheng Xiao in his heart. In just one hour, Zhang Yi felt that he had gained a lot, and his admiration for Hao Cheng Xiao's medical skills grew even stronger.

  "Zhang Yi, you send her back first, then come find me at the rear martial arts training ground." Hao Cheng Xiao gathered his things and stood up to say.

  Zhang Yi nodded in response and carefully carried Li Cuie back to the backyard of the wine house.

  "Thank you, Brother Zhang Yi."

  Wang Xiaofei stayed by his mother's side and only when Zhang Yi put her on the bed did he say with a grateful face.

  Zhang Yi smiled, pulled out 20,000 yuan in cash from his pocket that he had withdrawn from the ATM that morning, and handed it to Wang Xiaofei. "Don't be polite with me," he said with a smile. "Your mother is weak now and needs to recuperate. You can stay here until she recovers. Take this 20,000 yuan, if you need anything, just go buy it. If the money runs out, tell me, I have more here."

  Wang Xiaofei stared blankly at the 20,000 yuan in his hand. After hearing Zhang Yi finish speaking, he shook his head desperately and said: "Brother Zhang Yi, I don't want this money. You've already helped us a lot, I can't take your money again."

  Li Cuilian leaned against the headboard and also hastily said: "Yes, you've helped us too much, we can't take this money. Xiao Fei, hurry up and return the money to your Zhang Yi brother."

  Zhang Yi pushed away Wang Xiaofei's hand and said seriously: "Auntie, you must take this money. In today's world, without money, nothing can be done, and your illness has not been cured yet. Do you want Xiaofei to worry about money again? Take it!"

  Li Cuilian's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at Zhang Yi gratefully and said, "Xiao Fei, take it! Kneel down to thank Brother Zhang Yi for helping us so much."

  Wang Xiaofei immediately knelt down in front of Zhang Yi, heavily knocking three loud heads on the ground for Zhang Yi. After lifting his face, his small face was filled with a serious expression: "Brother Zhang Yi, thank you, I will repay you in the future."

  Zhang Yi smiled and said: "You grow up healthy and strong, study hard in the future, and become a useful person. That's the best reward for me."

  He reached out and pulled Wang Xiaofei up from the ground, then looked at Li Cuilian and said: "Auntie Li, you rest well, I have some other things to attend to."

  "Go ahead!"

  As soon as Zhang Yi walked out of the room, he saw Yao Tiantian sitting in a chair in the courtyard, hugging Yin Yin and telling her stories.

  "Yao Tiantian, if you have nothing else to do, help me take care of Yinyin! Hao Qianbei asked me to go to the North Courtyard, when you two are bored, you can come find me at the North Courtyard." Zhang Yi said with a smile as he walked up to the two.

  "Go! Remember to buy a delicious duck neck for Yinyin when you come back, it's just on the next street."

  Zhang Yi nodded and pinched Yin Yin's small face, then turned around and walked away.

  In the large courtyard with a single entrance in the woods at the northern end of Shibei Town.

  On Yao Tianxiao's old face, a faint smile hung as he looked at Hao Chengxiao sitting cross-legged on the couch, and smiled: "That kid Zhang Yi is really not bad, doing good deeds without seeking reward, this kind of heart is hard to find in many people. Moreover, he is also very capable, having just left for two or three days, he brought back the Golden Tail Teng, even if it were us two, I'm afraid it would be difficult to achieve!"

  Hao Cheng said faintly: "He's injured. Although he tried his best not to let us see it, I still found out."

  "Hurt? Where?"

  Yao Tianxiao's expression was taken aback, and a look of confusion flowed out from his eyes.

  "The wound on his left arm was likely caused by a sword."

  "Could it be that he encountered danger on this trip?"

  "I don't know!"

  The two of them then fell into silence.

  Twenty minutes later.

  When Zhang Wei walked into the courtyard, he saw the two old men sitting on a mat, and respectfully came to their front, saying: "Hao senior, Yao senior."

  Yao Tianxiao raised his head, his eyes scanning Zhang Yi's left arm, and asked: "Are you injured?"

  Zhang Yi smiled wryly and nodded: "Something unexpected happened, but the wound has healed."

  Yao Tianxiao asked: "What happened? Tell us."

  Zhang Yi hesitated for a moment before recounting the events in detail to the two of them. Finally, he spoke up and said: "Yan Huiying wanted to kill me, so I had no choice but to defend myself by disabling him, also to avoid his revenge in the future."

  Yao Tianxiao and Hao Chengxiao looked at each other, their eyes filled with an incredulous expression, indicating that there were no small waves in their hearts.

  "Never thought you'd run into her, and even more unexpected, she's developed hysteria. Alas..." Yao Tianxiao's aged face wore a bitter smile as he shook his head and sighed.

  Zhang Yi's mind stirred and he hastily asked: "Two seniors, what exactly is Blue Aunt? And between her and my master...what exactly is their relationship?"
