Ch 32: Beaten and Crippled
As soon as Xiang Bao cried, Xiang Hua and Lu Yu became anxious and felt sorry for him. Clearly, Xiang Bao was faking it, not even a single tear on his face.
“Did you hear that? Hurry up and take out the money to buy your little brother a bicycle!”
“What kind of older brother are you? Do you have any humanity? Hurry up and take out the money.”
Xiang Hua and his wife anxiously shouted at Xiang Zhihang. In their view, it was a matter of course for the older brother to pay for a bicycle for the younger brother.
In the past, Xiang Zhihang would have frowned and agreed. But not this time! He looked up at the sky, a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
Qingyang is right, his adoptive parents’ family are all vampires, sucking his blood and still complaining it’s not enough. It was Qingyang who told him to refuse! It was Qingyang who told him that he could become a Big Boss! It was Qingyang who told him that his future is promising!
“No! I don’t have money!” Xiang Zhihang refused loudly without any hesitation.
What? No money? Xiang Hua’s family of three were stunned, Xiang Bao even forgot to continue pretending to cry.
Xiang Zhihang actually dared to refuse them? Are his wings really hardened?
Being rejected for the first time, these three were not used to it, and they didn’t react for a long time. Were they just rejected?
After a long while, Xiang Hua, who was the first to react, became angry and raised his hand to slap Xiang Zhihang. “You’re rebelling? I’ve raised you for nothing.”
Xiang Zhihang was defenseless, and took a slap to his left cheek.
Xiang Hua used all his strength in this slap, and Xiang Zhihang’s left cheek instantly turned red and swelled up rapidly at a visible rate.
Lu Yu also reacted and raised her hand to slap him again, also landing on Xiang Zhihang’s left cheek.
Xiang Bao picked up a piece of firewood from the ground and hit Xiang Zhihang with it.
Outside Yao Lin’s house, the line of people had not decreased, and Du Qingyang’s stall was still there.
That’s right, besides the two great guardians, no one dared to approach Doctor Du’s stall.
“Sister, how did you know they would be poisoned in three days?” An Wei was still skeptical about the Spiritual Spring being poisonous.
“Because I can tell fortunes.” Du Qingyang said casually.
“Really? Sister can even tell fortunes? Can you tell mine?” An Wei’s eyes lit up as he looked at Du Qingyang with admiration. His social Boss Qingyang is too awesome, how does she know everything? Is there anything Boss Qingyang doesn’t know?
Du Feipeng, who was beside him, looked up at the sky. Only An Wei would believe the lies his little sister casually tells. He seriously doubted An Wei’s IQ. How could he survive in the world with such an IQ? Fortunately, An Wei is not his underling.
Speaking of which, Du Qingyang hadn’t done Divination for a long time. When An Wei mentioned it, she suddenly became interested. She reached out and grabbed An Wei’s wrist.
With physical contact, Du Qingyang began to silently recite the Word Secrets in her heart, performing Divination for An Wei.
Looking at Du Qingyang’s focused appearance, An Wei opened his mouth but didn’t voice the doubts in his heart. Isn’t she telling fortunes? Why does she need to hold his wrist to tell fortunes? Is this telling fortunes or taking a pulse?
An Wei didn’t know that Du Qingyang had only self-studied a little bit of Mysticism. She needed to touch a person’s body to perform Divination. Why hold his wrist? Doctor Du is used to Taking a Pulse, there’s no other way.
After reciting a section of Word Secrets, Du Qingyang frowned.
Strange, why isn’t any information appearing?
She held his hand, and she didn’t recite the words wrong.
Could it be that she recited too fast just now? Then she’ll recite it again.
Du Qingyang maintained the posture of Taking a Pulse, and silently recited the Word Secrets in her heart again.
After reciting it for the second time, there was still no Divination Image displayed in her mind, and she couldn’t see An Wei’s future.
Could it be that she hasn’t performed Divination for too long and can’t do it anymore? This… is embarrassing.
◈◈◈
Du Qingyang recited the Word Secrets once again.
An Wei became nervous. Why can’t she figure it out after so long? Sister is still frowning, could it be that his fate is too bad for Sister to say it?
Tsk tsk, he lost his father when he was young, didn’t study well, and could only drift through life. Is his fate already bad? Could it be that his future fate will be even worse? Will he not even be able to drift through life?
An Wei’s back felt cold, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
After reciting the words three times, Du Qingyang finally accepted the fact that the Divination had failed. Wuwu, her previous Divination had a 50% success rate, but now she can’t even perform Divination. So sad…
If you don’t advance in learning, you regress. Perhaps she hasn’t studied Mysticism for a long time. She also wants to continue learning, but where can she find a book on Mysticism now?
Too sad.
Du Qingyang released An Wei’s hand, and lowered her eyes sadly.
“Sister, is my fate really that bad? Am I going to die a violent death?” An Wei was even more sad, he even smelled the scent of death.
Du Qingyang suddenly raised her head, almost forgetting An Wei’s existence. What is he talking about, how could he die a violent death for no reason? The Divination failed, how would she know if his fate is good or bad?
It’s impossible to say that the Divination failed, how embarrassing.
So, Du Qingyang cleared her throat and said mysteriously, “How should I put it, your fate has two extreme possibilities.”
“What two possibilities?” An Wei saw a glimmer of hope again. Two possibilities, does that mean there is still hope of turning bad luck into good fortune? He can still be saved, right?
“One is your original fate, a life of poverty. The other is meeting a benefactor, hugging the benefactor’s thigh tightly, and from then on, rising step by step and reaching the peak of life.”
An Wei was stunned. This… these are really two extremes.
So, where should he go to find a benefactor to hug their thigh?
Suddenly, An Wei’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Du Qingyang with shining eyes. The benefactor is far away, but right in front of him!
“Sister, my peak of life depends on you!” An Wei bowed deeply to Du Qingyang.
“……” Du Qingyang.
“……” Du Feipeng.
Du Qingyang’s inner thoughts: Aiyo, she was just saying it casually, how could An Wei take it seriously? She accidentally became An Wei’s benefactor, is this shooting herself in the foot?
At this moment, Village Chief Zhou Kun ran over in a hurry. As soon as he entered the Yao Family Home, he shouted anxiously.
“Yao Lin, can your Spiritual Spring really cure diseases?”
“Hurry up and go to the Health Station to save Xiang Zhihang, he’s been beaten and crippled.”
Zhou Kun’s voice was loud, and everyone heard the shout.
Du Qingyang was stunned, and her heartbeat slowed by half a beat.
Xiang Zhihang has been beaten and crippled?
This plot does exist in the original novel. Xiang Zhihang hid some money for himself and was beaten deaf in one ear and had one leg broken by his adoptive parents.
But that happened a year later. Could it be that it happened ahead of schedule now?
Yao Lin’s Dimension appeared ahead of schedule, and Xiang Zhihang being beaten and crippled also happened ahead of schedule? Du Qingyang’s body swayed, her face was pale, and her heart ached. The future Big Boss is in trouble, why does she feel so heartbroken?
After a moment, Du Qingyang took a few deep breaths, picked up her Medicine Box, and ran towards the Health Station.
Thank you to the Big Boss who sells newspapers for the recommendation~~
