"Ouch, I'm exhausted..."
Li Erguai panted, but before he could finish speaking, he saw the scene before him.
Lin Xiao Tian was holding a man with one hand, surrounded by sprawled burly men.
"What... happened?"
"Uh... did you get the money back? If so... it's fine. We... only want the money. As long as... you give us the money, this matter can be considered... over," the tattooed man held by Lin Xiao Tian said with difficulty.
"Hmph!" Lin Xiao Tian snorted and, like tossing a ball, threw the tattooed man aside.
"Xiao Tian... are you... alright?" Li Erguai handed the snakeskin bag to Lin Xiao Tian.
"Don't worry, Erguai brother, I'm fine," Lin Xiao Tian sighed and took the snakeskin bag.
Immediately, Lin Xiao Tian's gaze swept towards the tattooed man.
"Where is the contract?"
"Oh... oh, right, the contract, I'll get it now!" The tattooed man dared not delay. He immediately took out a briefcase from his懷 and began to rummage through it.
After a while, he produced a contract.
"Brother, take a look. If it's okay, please return the money."
Lin Xiao Tian took the contract and, after confirming it was in order, asked Qin Yuxiang to look at it together.
Only after receiving Qin Yuxiang's nod did Lin Xiao Tian feel relieved.
"Yuxiang sister, go inside and get the money you earned earlier," Lin Xiao Tian said to Qin Yuxiang.
Qin Yuxiang nodded and immediately ran towards the bedroom.
Next, Lin Xiao Tian counted the money in the snakeskin bag. It totaled sixty-three thousand yuan.
Together with the money from Qin Yuxiang, it was enough to repay the hundred thousand yuan.
When Qin Yuxiang came out, Lin Xiao Tian handed the hundred thousand yuan to the tattooed man.
"Hahaha, brother, happy cooperation! If you need money in the future, you can come to us again." The tattooed man, seeing the hundred thousand yuan in hand, cheerfully handed the contract to Lin Xiao Tian.
"Get lost!" Lin Xiao Tian glared at him.
The tattooed man quickly shut his mouth.
He called his subordinates who had fallen to the ground and then left the house with a fawning smile.
"Xiao Tian, you're bleeding. What happened?" Li Erguai noticed Lin Xiao Tian's injuries.
"It's nothing, just a small injury. I can handle it. Erguai brother, you should go back. You've been too much trouble today."
"Hey! What trouble is there to talk about?" Li Erguai waved his hand. "But are you really alright?"
"Erguai brother, don't you trust me?"
"Uh... alright then. Be careful yourself, and call me anytime if you need anything." Li Erguai patted Lin Xiao Tian's shoulder and then left the house.
Inside the house, Lin Xiao Tian called Qin Yuxiang to his side.
"Yuxiang sister, please get me some medicinal herbs. It's inconvenient for me right now," Lin Xiao Tian said with difficulty.
Using his original true qi had greatly depleted his body, and he was very weak at the moment.
Qin Yuxiang nodded repeatedly and quickly began to look for the medicinal herbs as Lin Xiao Tian had instructed.
The herbs were piled at the foot of Lin Xiao Tian's bed. Qin Yuxiang helped Lin Xiao Tian lie down on the bed, and then, following Lin Xiao Tian's instructions, began to pick out the herbs.
Qin Yuxiang was wearing a black dress today, with the hem still a considerable distance from her knees. She was bending over for a long time, and only then managed to find one or two herbs.
Watching the scene, Lin Xiao Tian couldn't help but regret the events of not long ago.
If he had known Erguai would bring the money back, he shouldn't have hesitated!
Not many medicinal herbs were needed to treat the stab wound. Qin Yuxiang quickly gathered them. Lin Xiao Tian asked Qin Yuxiang to crush them and apply them to his wound.
"Hiss..."
As soon as the herbs touched the wound, Lin Xiao Tian felt a sharp pain.
"I didn't expect depleting my original true qi to have such a serious impact on my body. I'll have to be more careful in the future," Lin Xiao Tian thought to himself.
At the same time, at the entrance of Jinsha Village.
After getting the money, the tattooed men began to run towards the outside of the village.
"Brother Chen, are we just leaving like this? That brat beat us up like this, we can't just let it go!" his subordinates said angrily.
"Why don't we go back and kill him? That brat clearly doesn't have much stamina left. If we go back now, he definitely won't be able to react!" one subordinate suggested.
"Yeah! Brother Tian also said that the money isn't important, the most important thing is to bring the person back."
"All of you, shut up!" The tattooed man, Brother Chen, glared at the subordinates who were speaking.
Everyone instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
"This matter, after I report back to Brother Tian, we will make further plans."
"Don't worry, we will avenge this debt sooner or later, but not now!"
Brother Chen cast a deep look back towards the village and then disappeared at the village entrance.
On the other side, under Qin Yuxiang's care, Lin Xiao Tian's condition gradually improved.
Qin Yuxiang brought Lin Xiao Tian to her bedroom, as it was the only place that didn't leak rain, and she began to busy herself with dinner.
Lin Xiao Tian was still very weak and decided to rest for a while.
Beep... beep...
Just as Lin Xiao Tian was about to rest, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Lin Xiao Tian opened his phone and found two friend requests.
One was from Xue Ziyan, with her selfie as the profile picture. Lin Xiao Tian thought they would need to keep in touch often, so he accepted her friend request.
The other was from a male avatar, with the note "Wei Long."
Lin Xiao Tian was stunned. A small, chubby figure immediately popped into his mind.
Wei Long was his best friend from high school, and they had always been close. Later, after Lin Xiao Tian became a fool, they lost contact.
Lin Xiao Tian clicked "Accept" and then prepared to put away his phone and sleep.
Beep... beep...
Another vibration.
Lin Xiao Tian opened his phone and found a message from Wei Long.
"Xiao Tian, I finally found you! Where have you been all these years? When Lü Ke said you went crazy, I didn't believe it. You were the top scorer in our high school entrance exams, you couldn't possibly have gone crazy while he did!"
Wei Long was unaware of Lin Xiao Tian's situation. After high school graduation, they went their separate ways. Moreover, Lin Xiao Tian lived in the mountains, so Wei Long couldn't visit him at his home.
"Haha, it's a long story," Lin Xiao Tian replied.
"Hey! I get it! It must be Lü Ke's doing. He deliberately didn't invite you to class reunions, and since he's the administrator of the class group, he definitely wouldn't add you." Wei Long sent an angry emoji.
"By the way, are you coming to the class reunion?" he asked next.
"I am!" Lin Xiao Tian replied.
"I heard Fang Xiaowen will be there too. You're not planning to rekindle old flames, are you?" Wei Long sent a mischievous emoji.
Rekindle old flames?
Lin Xiao Tian couldn't help but smile.
Just as he was about to reply, someone in the class group @-ed everyone.
"Dear classmates, the time is set for Saturday evening. As for the dining location, does anyone have any suggestions?"
Lin Xiao Tian glanced at it and saw that the person speaking was Fang Xiaowen...
