Chapter 108 Chapter 108 Irreparable

Wang Mituo helped Lai Gujiu leave Lu's house, his face was very ugly.Wang Mituo shook his head and said: I didn't expect Ling Xiaosan to be so extreme.Let's go meet the leader and report this matter.Lai Gujiu snorted, and said indignantly: The gang leader passed the thief-killing stick to Ling Haotian, he really missed his mark! But he said that Lai Gujiu and Wang Mituo met the other three elders, told what happened to the Lu family in Quzhou, and went to see the leader of the sect together.At that time, the Beggar Clan was attending a funeral for Papaya Elder, and the leader and all the elders gathered in Papaya's hometown, not far from Quzhou.Wang Mituo and Lai Gujiu told Wu Sanshi what had happened, and handed over the thief stick dropped by Ling Haotian.

Wu Sanshi took the thief-killing stick, his face was frosty, he was silent for a while, and then said: Do you know the purpose of me passing the thief-killing stick to Ling Haotian? Bright eyes said: I think the gang leader knows that Ling Xiaosan is upright, so he can uphold justice for the gang's internal affairs.Wu Sanshi nodded and said: Not bad.He is not a member of the beggar gang, nor will he covet the position of gang leader.The reason why I pass on the thief-killing stick to him is to ask him to help support the next gang leader.The meaning of this could not be clearer, and I have explained it to you in detail.What happened today, it seems that some of you don't believe my words!All the elders were silent.

Wu Sanshi glanced around the five elders, and suddenly said: "Have you heard about the use of Jiang He by Li Sibiao of the Green Gang?" Dog and Horse Beggars, Ming Eyes, Lai Gujiu, and Wang Mituo all nodded.Wu Sanshi said: Jiang He is a young man in his twenties with unknown background, but he is alert, smart, brave and righteous, and he is a first-class talent in the gang.Fourth Master Li strongly recommended him in front of Zhao Zixiang and let him be the master of Xinwu altar. After this person made great contributions in Wuzhangyuan, Zhao Zixiang made him concurrently the master of Gengwu altar.You haven't heard of such a sensational event, have you?

Several elders nodded.Wu Sanshi said again: "There are people in the Qing Gang who value talents like Li Siye, don't we have people in the Beggars' Gang?"Anyone with eyes on the head can tell that Ling Xiaosan is a character.Such a person can't stay in my beggar gang, can our beggar gang still hang out in the martial arts?What else can he gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes? All the elders bowed their heads and did not answer.Wu Sanshi waved his hand and said: All right, let's all go out.After everyone retreated, only Lai Gujiu stayed behind, he was quiet for a while, and then said to Wu Sanshi: "Clan Master, I know you are very upset about this matter, please allow me to say something."This incident was clearly Ling Xiaosan's fault.He was negligent in his duty, so that Miss Lu was robbed, and then became angry and blamed others for the fault.After all, he is a child, relying on his family background, young and delicate, inevitably lacks the courage to admit his mistakes.

Wu Sanshi looked at him and said: Gu Jiu, why did Ling Haotian rely on his family background to bluff people?Has he told anyone that he is the son of Ling Xiao and Yan Long?When he was dealing with Cheng Wuyin, as long as he said that my surname was Ling, the damn soul-breaking sword would have already run away with its tail between its legs.Why didn't he say it?That's because he has the guts!He will not rely on his parents' reputation even if he dies, this is exactly what he does to protect the reputation of the Ling family.Such a person will shirk responsibility and dare not admit his mistake?

Lai Gujiu still wanted to argue, but Wu Sanshi said again: Don't think that I am old and useless.I have been a little worried for a long time when I passed on the dog-beating stick method to you.Let me tell you, I will definitely find out what happened today.If you want to keep this position, stop doing shady things behind my back.Hmph, you are worried that I will promote Ling Xiaosan, afraid that he will take your seat, so you deliberately exclude me, do you think I can't see it?You have such a scheming mind, you are not worthy to be the leader of my gang of beggars!Lai Gujiu heard cold sweat running down his back.

Wu Sanshi said: Alright!Immediately send an order to let everyone bring Ling Xiaosan back to me and invite him to come see me.This kid is arrogant and willful, so he is not easy to persuade.If anyone is half-sincere, do you think he will come back? But he said that Ling Haotian rescued Lu Xiaojia and stayed by her bedside all night, knowing that her life was saved, he went back to his room to rest.He was so tired that he couldn't fall asleep. Even if he closed his eyes, he still had nightmares.Lying down in a daze until dawn, someone knocked on the door, but it was Qi Jiguang.Seeing his pale face, Qi Jiguang was very surprised, and asked about the before and after.Ling Haotian felt uncomfortable in his heart, and said in a choked voice.Qi Jiguang cursed, "Liang Gang and Wu Ruxiang are two thieves, I will definitely catch them and punish them on the spot!"That guy from the Beggar Gang is nothing, if he didn't intend to frame you, how could Miss Lu be taken away?This person must be jealous of you and deliberately frame you.You shouldn't trust this kind of person in the first place.

Ling Haotian shook his head sadly, and said: It's too late now.I have killed Miss Lu all my life, how can I feel sorry for her?She trusted me so much, but I failed to protect her well! Qi Jiguang said: "It doesn't help if you blame yourself like this."The current task is to catch the Hejian Shuangsha and bring them to justice. Ling Haotian nodded in agreement.After sleeping for a few more hours, he went to visit Lu Yan.Lu Yan was so angry that he had a stroke. After waking up, he was unconscious and paralyzed.Ling Haotian was very disdainful of his behavior, seeing his miserable appearance, he couldn't help feeling sorry for him.

Ling Haotian stayed at Lu's house for more than a month, taking care of Lu Xiaojia's injury wholeheartedly.Although she was awake, her body was still very weak, and her emotions were often in panic.Ling Haotian stayed by her side day and night, trying his best to comfort her.Lu Xiaojia was so frightened that she dared not see anyone for a month, and only let Ling Haotian approach her, and she often had to hold his hand to fall asleep. After she woke up that day, she sat on the bed in a daze for a long time, then suddenly raised her head and said to Ling Haotian: Mr. Ling, thank you for taking care of me patiently and accompanying me these days.You have been here for a long time, I think you must have many other things to do, and you should not be fettered here because of me.

Ling Haotian sighed: It's all my fault that caused you to suffer this disaster, and I will never be able to make up for it.If you have any wish, just tell me, and I will try my best to make it for you. Lu Xiaojia was quiet for a while, then shook her head and said: This was caused by my father and daughter themselves, you don't have to blame yourself too much.I just want you to pause for me before gritting my teeth and saying: Revenge! Ling Haotian felt a pain in his heart, nodded and said: I will definitely kill the villain and avenge you.Lu Xiaojia shed tears and said, "Master Ling, you and my Lu family have no relatives or reasons, but you helped us when we were in distress. I really don't know how to thank you."Daddy, if he can enjoy the rest of the year, he can be regarded as an ancestor who has accumulated virtue.Ling Haotian was silent for a while, and asked: What about you?Lu Xiaojia stared at the void, and said after a long time: You don't have to worry about me.I have my own plan.

The next day, Lu Xiaojia urged Ling Haotian to go on the road.After discussing with Qi Jiguang, Ling Haotian and Qi Jiguang decided to leave the officers and soldiers led by Qi Jiguang at the Lu family to take care of them and protect them. Seeing that Ling Haotian was brooding over Lu Xiaojia's matter, Qi Jiguang persuaded: "Brother Ling, you have done your best to the Lu family."Each has its own destiny, which is often not something that can be reversed by manpower.Since you have done your best, don't worry too much about the rest.Under his persuasion, Ling Haotian gradually relaxed. The two traveled northward side by side, and came to Tunxi County that day.Ling Haotian found out that Wu Ruxiang had gone to Feng'en Temple to place the order, so he and Qi Jiguang went to Feng'en Temple. That day was September 19th, the day when Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva became a monk, and there were so many pilgrims in Feng'en Temple, crowded with each other, it was very lively.Ling and Qi followed the crowd and squeezed into the gate of the temple, but they saw that the temple was full of cigarettes, and the believers who worshiped and offered incense came and went, and they couldn't see their faces clearly.The two came out of the temple and stood by the stone pillars in front of the temple to watch. At this moment, amidst the turbulent crowd, a small green sedan chair with four people came lightly to the outside of the temple gate.Beside the sedan chair was a little maidservant, with red lips and white teeth, and pretty eyes, she was quite pretty.She turned to the front of the sedan chair, stretched out her hand to lift the curtain of the sedan chair, and said softly: "Sister, we're here." But I saw a bright red embroidered shoe protruding from the sedan chair, with a slender three-inch golden lotus. Just by looking at her feet, one can imagine that this woman must have a graceful figure and a charming posture.All the pilgrims around gave way and stopped to look around.But I saw a small snow-white hand lift the car curtain, and a beauty in her twenties stepped out. She was wearing a lotus root pink narrow-sleeved placket, a coat embroidered with armor, and a long light green skirt. Although the clothes are not very luxurious, they look extremely bright and eye-catching.She wore a side bun on her head, and her eyes were watery and spirited, like pouring out, taking people's soul. Qi Jiguang stared at the woman fixedly, he seemed to be in a daze, and it was difficult to look away.But I heard a pilgrim next to me say, "That's the girl from Qianmei courtyard."Another said: It turns out that she is a firework girl, no wonder she is so charming.Tsk tsk, this figure can only be found in the wind and dust.After the woman got off the sedan chair, she walked into the temple with the little maid, Qi Jiguang just wanted to look at them a few more times, and dragged Ling Haotian into the temple.
