Chapter 103: Soldiers Come to Stop Us, Water Comes to Earth Dams (Please Subscribe)
Zhao Ya certainly recognized Xia Hongyu, but he didn't know why she suddenly came to see him.
"Well, what does Miss Hongyu want to see me for?" Zhao Ya asked.
Xia Hongyu looked at Zui'er beside her, gritted her teeth, and then said: "Commander Zhao, I want to ask you to save my grandfather."
"Oh? Save your grandfather?"
"Yes!"
Xia Hongyu burst into tears when she said this.
When her grandfather Xia Feiying led her to break through, he was ambushed by the Hong family and was seriously injured.
He relied on his own strong strength to hold on, but now as his injury gradually worsened, Xia Feiying's condition became worse and worse.
He hasn't eaten much for two or three days now.
Xia Hongyu knew that if this continued, her grandfather might really not be able to hold on.
He had to use medicine quickly, and he had to use good medicine.
But with his meager salary, he could barely make ends meet, let alone buy medicine.
In desperation, Xia Hongyu mustered up the courage to go to the door for help.
Before coming here, Xia Hongyu didn't know how scared she was.
Because now everyone in the Song family knows the reputation of Commander Zhao.
She was just a laundry worker. It was not surprising that she was beaten up for coming so presumptuously.
But for the sake of her grandfather's life, she decided to give it a try.
After knocking on the door tremblingly, a bright girl opened the door.
Xia Hongyu knew that this should be the drunk girl next to Commander Zhao.
She thought she would be treated coldly, but she didn't expect that Zui'er's attitude was very friendly. After hearing that Xia Hongyu was looking for Zhao Ya, she took the initiative to let her in, and saw her nervousness, and poured her a cup of hot tea.
All this made Xia Hongyu relax a little, and she waited until Zhao Ya came back.
When Zhao Ya heard that Xia Hongyu's grandfather was actually the old escort of Jinsheng Escort Agency, he decided to save people without any hesitation.
"There is no time to lose, take me there now."
Zhao Ya took the medicine and followed Xia Hongyu to where they lived.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, a weak voice came from the house.
"Hongyu, who's here?"
Xia Hongyu hurriedly said, "Grandpa, it's Commander Zhao, he's here to treat your injuries."
Zhao Ya didn't waste any words and walked into the house quickly. A fishy smell hit him in the face.
Zhao Ya walked to the bed and looked around.
Sure enough, there was a skinny old man lying on the bed, with several huge claw marks on his chest, and pus was flowing out at this moment.
Zhao Ya exclaimed in surprise, "Eagle Claw Skill?"
Xia Feiying had been observing Zhao Ya who was approaching. Seeing that his eyes were bright and his every move was full of power, he knew that the rumors were true and he had indeed entered the third realm.
Then Xia Feiying smiled slightly, "Yes, it is indeed Eagle Claw Kung Fu. I didn't expect that Commander Zhao is not very old, but his eyesight is so good."
Xia Hongyu asked cautiously: "Commander, can my grandfather's injury be cured?"
"If it were someone else, it would definitely not work, but the old man should be fine."
Zhao Ya's words were not flattery or comfort, but came completely from the heart.
Because Xia Feiying's injuries were too severe, let alone ordinary people, even if it was replaced by other warriors, they would have died a long time ago.
The reason why Xia Feiying can persist until now is entirely due to his profound martial arts cultivation.
Zhao Ya put the small medicine box he brought by the bed, and told Xia Hongyu to open the doors and windows for ventilation, and then light the candle.
Xia Hongyu did it one by one, and then Zhao Ya opened the medicine box.
There were many small medicine bottles neatly placed inside, many of which were treasures that could not be bought on the market.
These were all bought from the Yang family when the relationship between the Song and Yang families was still there.
Zhao Ya took out a small medicine bottle, asked Xia Hongyu to fetch a basin of clean water, and then poured the medicine powder into it. After it dissolved, he cleaned Xia Feiying's wound.
This process was extremely painful, because some wounds that had healed on the surface had to be torn open again and the pus inside had to be cleaned out.
Zhao Ya was also a little worried about whether Xia Feiying could bear it, so he hesitated at the beginning.
Unexpectedly, Xia Feiying saw his worry and couldn't help laughing and said, "Commander Zhao, there is no need to do this. Just cut it boldly. I, an old man, can still bear this little pain."
Sure enough, whether it was cutting the wound with a knife or scraping the rotten meat inside, Xia Feiying didn't make a sound during the whole process. Only the sweat on his forehead reminded people how strong this old man was.
It took three basins of water to clean the wound.
Zhao Ya opened another small bottle, applied the ointment inside to the wound, and finally bandaged it with clean gauze.
After everything was done, Xia Feiying was lying on the bed, his face was pale, and he was already a little exhausted.
But this was already enough. You know, even a young and strong man could hardly survive the ordeal just now.
Zhao Ya took out a dried bamboo snake and asked Xia Hongyu to soak it in hot water for a while before feeding it to Xia Feiying.
After swallowing a dried bamboo snake, Xia Feiying's condition immediately improved, at least his face had some color.
He turned over and sat up, clasping his fists towards Zhao Ya.
"I don't need to thank you for your great kindness. Commander Zhao saved my life."
Zhao Ya waved his hand, "Old man, you are too polite. Let's not talk about the fact that we are all fellow martial artists. Just based on the friendship that we used to make a living in the escort business, I can't just stand by and watch him die."
The original Jinsheng Escort Agency and Changlong Escort Agency were both equally famous. Although Zhao Ya had never interacted with them, he had heard of Xia Feiying's name and knew that he was an old man who had been traveling in the world for decades.
Later, the Hong family surrounded and suppressed the major escort agencies in Wuxiang City, and the Jinsheng Escort Agency was also brutally attacked. Xia Feiying's whereabouts are unknown since then. Unexpectedly, he hid in the inner city, and his granddaughter joined the Song family and became a laundry worker.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of fate. If he hadn't gone to the bamboo forest to practice martial arts that night, he would not have met Li Chunfeng, nor would he have saved Xia Hongyu.
And Xia Hongyu probably wouldn't be able to survive after being humiliated, so Xia Feiying would have to die with her.
"Hahaha, that's good. I won't be pretentious about that, old man. Commander Zhao now holds an important position in the Song family and is quite prosperous. But what do you think of the situation in Wuxiang City?" Xia Feiying asked.
Zhao Ya's heart moved, "I wonder what the old man means by this?"
Xia Feiying chuckled, "I believe Commander Zhao is a smart man. The situation in the inner city now is very similar to that of our escort agency. Although the Song family is not weak, the Hong family is stronger. Hong Shouchang has made it clear that he wants to be the master of Dancing Elephant City. , so the conflict between the Song family and the Hong family is absolutely inevitable, and it can even be said to be imminent. "
Although he was paralyzed in bed and had no idea what was happening outside recently, Xia Feiying's eyes were so vicious that he knew the dilemma the Song family was facing just by guessing.
Zhao Ya had to admire the eyes of these old Jianghus and nodded: "The old man is right. The Hong family is indeed eyeing the Song family. Not only that, even the Yang family has defected to the Hong family."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?"
Zhao Ya then told what happened to the Song and Yang families.
After hearing this, Xia Feiying couldn't help but frown.
"That shouldn't be the case. Yang Sansi is as cunning as a fox. Although sometimes he is a bit short-sighted, he should understand the truth of death and coldness. You must know that once the Song family is destroyed, it will be the Yang family's turn next!"
"That's what I thought too, but the Yang family did just that. Maybe there was some other conspiracy between them and the Hong family."
"Then what is Commander Zhao's plan to face this situation?" Xia Feiying continued to ask.
"Without him, it's just eight words: when the soldiers come, they will block the water and come to the weir." Zhao Ya said very calmly.
"Okay, now that I know Commander Zhao's intentions, old man, I can't accept your life-saving grace in vain. I don't have any other abilities, but I am pretty good at the Qinggong Lifting Technique. If Commander Zhao doesn't dislike it, I can I am willing to give it to you.”
Zhao Ya did not refuse, because refusing at this time seemed pretentious.
He just cupped his fists and said, "Thank you!"
"But I have a condition!"
"Master, please speak."
"I won't move to the Song family. If you want to learn, come to me in this courtyard."
Zhao Ya was stunned. He really wanted to bring Xia Feiying back to the Song family just now.
"Why?"
"Because I don't want to get involved in this dispute." Xia Feiying said and looked at Xia Hongyu beside the bed, his eyes softening.
"Both my son and daughter-in-law died at the hands of the Hong family, and many years of foundation were destroyed. Logically speaking, I should join the Song family with you and fight with the Hong family. But I can't do that because there are Hong Jade."
"It is not a pity to die with my old bones, but I have to consider Hongyu. This is why I have been holding on and refused to die. Once I die, she will be alone in this world."
"So this time I teach you Qinggong Lifting Technique as a way of repaying your kindness. After I recover from my injuries, I will leave with Hongyu. Can you agree to this condition?"
Xia Hongyu burst into tears at some point, and Zhao Ya felt even more emotional.
This Xia Feiying was indeed worthy of being a veteran. He could even let go of the hatred of killing his son and destroying his family, so he nodded solemnly.
"good!"
When Zhao Ya left, he left behind enough silver coins and some green bamboo jerky.
Naturally, Xia Hongyu no longer had to go back to work as a laundry worker. She sent Zhao Ya out of the door and suddenly said softly: "Thank you, Commander Zhao!"
"You don't have to be so polite, and just call me Brother Xiaoya from now on. It sounds too awkward to be a commander or something like that." Zhao Ya said with a smile.
Xia Hongyu also smiled and nodded vigorously, "Yes, Brother Xiaoya!"
Zhao Ya turned around to leave when Xia Hongyu suddenly said: "Brother Xiao Ya."
"Um?"
"And that night, thank you too!"
After saying that, Xia Hongyu turned around and went back.
Looking at her back, Zhao Ya was stunned for a moment, and then he stopped laughing.
It turned out that she had already guessed it, no wonder she came to ask for help.
She is really a smart girl.
After returning home, Zui'er asked with great concern: "Brother Xiaoya, has Sister Hongyu and her grandfather's injury been cured?"
"Well, don't worry, it's been cured."
"Hehe, that's good." Zui'er was very happy.
"That's right! Starting tomorrow, when I come back, you have to go to a place with me."
"Where to go?"
"You'll know then."
