Volume 1: The Ghost Hand's Medical Skills are Hidden in the Shadows 04 You Chase Me, I Hide in the Brothel
"Now where should I go?" Tang Xin looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, feeling a bit indecisive as he wandered along the street with a full stomach.
Suddenly, she caught sight of the boy with a handsome face in the crowd not far away, who seemed to be searching for something. Suddenly, their eyes collided unintentionally, and in that instant, his gaze was fixed on her, making her feel frozen. She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered that he was the same boy who had given her silver coins earlier.
"Look at his eyes, as if he can't wait to kill me. I wonder if he knows I took his pouch? No way, I have to run fast!" She muttered to herself, seeing the young man coming towards her quickly, and immediately forgot about everything else, rushing into the crowd and running away.
How dare you run?
Mo Chenfeng was like an enraged leopard, his feet a blur as he chased after the fleeing figure. The chill emanating from his body sent shivers down the spines of the onlookers, who hastily cleared a path for the two as they tore through the streets, fearful of being trampled.
"Isn't it over yet? Are you still chasing me? This is already the ninth street, when will it end?!?" Tang Xin ran with her two little legs panting, occasionally turning her head back to look, seeing that she was about to be caught up, in a panic, she didn't even know that she had used the "Floating Cloud Step" from her previous life.
Behind her, Mu Chenfeng was chasing after her, thinking that he could catch up to her in just a few strides. But unexpectedly, she ran faster and faster, as if her feet were greased with oil. If not for his use of lightness skill in the chase, he wouldn't have been able to see even her shadow. Inwardly, he was secretly astonished - what kind of background did this little beggar girl come from?
"I've had enough! I'm exhausted!"
Tang Xin panted and shouted, running for so long, sweating all over her body, her feet aching to death. If she kept running, she would definitely be caught by him. No way, I have to find a place to hide.
In front of her, there was a bend, and she ran even more desperately. If someone saw her at this moment, they would be shocked to the extreme, because her feet were not touching the ground at all. Almost as soon as her toes touched the ground, her entire body whooshed forward in an instant, that extremely fast figure flashed by like a ghostly shadow, leaving no trace...
When Mu Chenfeng was chasing after the beggar who had turned a corner, he found that it was actually a dead end. The little beggar's figure had already disappeared without a trace. Looking at the wall over three meters high, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Where did he go? That little devil, can really fly and escape? Actually able to escape under his eyelids?
Thinking of the prescription, he took a deep breath to calm down the anger in his heart, and then jumped up onto the wall over three meters high, standing on top and looking around.
On the other side of several streets, with both hands on her knees and panting, Tang Xin, who was half-bent at the waist, saw him jump over a wall that was more than three meters high. She cursed in a low voice, then saw him discover her again, so she shouted loudly at him: "I'm saying, are you too idle? Chasing me to run doesn't tire you out but it tires me out! Please, don't chase anymore."
Mu Chen's eyes coldly swept over her before his figure flashed and he chased after her once again.
As soon as she saw him, her small face scrunched up in distaste and she turned to run away. Who had she provoked? How did she end up with such a clingy young man? If she had known he was so petty, she wouldn't have bothered with him.
The sky gradually darkened, and the two of them chased each other through streets like a cat chasing a mouse. After running for so long, Tang Xin's body was also nearing its limit. She couldn't care about anything else, and after desperately shaking him off, she slipped into a two-story pavilion.
"Wow! I'm exhausted!"
She sat down at the table, poured herself a glass of water and drank it, then saw a small plate of pastries and fruit on the table, and without hesitation, she first filled her stomach. She listened to the lively sounds coming from outside, including women's giggles, men's lewd voices, and the low-pitched sound of a guqin (a traditional Chinese zither) drifting over.
"What is this place? Why is it so lively?" She walked to the door and was about to open a small gap to take a look, but before she even opened the door, she heard mocking voices coming from outside.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? The night is still young!"
"Haha, looking at you this lovely beauty, can I not be anxious?"
"Alright, alright, Cuihua, take good care of Mr. Zhang, I'll go downstairs to attend to something."
"Got it, mom, I'll take good care of Mr. Zhang."
The door was pushed open, and a sexy woman was hugged by an older fat man to come in. Tang Xin, who was hiding under the bed, really wanted to slap herself to death. What place is not good to hide? Why did she hide in the brothel?
Suddenly, the man and woman hugged each other and pounced onto the bed. The bed creaked under their combined weight, making a loud "creak" sound. She couldn't help but break out in cold sweat as she hid under the bed. That fat old man and that woman together must weigh over 300 pounds! Can this bed withstand their combined weight? If they move around later and the bed collapses, won't she be crushed into a pancake hiding underneath?
Lying under the bed, listening to the woman's flirtatious voice coming from above, one piece of clothing after another being thrown onto the floor. She couldn't help but be speechless, was she really that miserable? On the first day of her rebirth, what hadn't she experienced yet? As a renowned heavenly doctor, she had actually ended up hiding under someone's bed? Just as she thought about quietly leaving while the two people above were being intimate, her mouth twitched upon hearing the words from above.
"Are you going or not?" The woman's soft and charming voice was half complaining and half alluring.
The fat old man was suddenly red-faced, and looking at the woman's charming face and sexy figure, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "What can't be done? I'm just too tense, you wait, I'll take the medicine I brought first, and then see if you still dare to say I'm not capable!"
"What kind of pill is this?"
"This is going to be bad, I spent a lot of money on this, just one pill can make you unable to get out of bed tomorrow morning." The fat old man said with a smile, after taking the medicine, he rushed towards the woman.
"Really that fierce?" The woman looked at him with a skeptical gaze.
"Haha, believe it or not, just try and you'll know!"
The bed was shaken violently, the woman's exaggerated coquettish voice accompanied by the old man's panting sound spread throughout the room. Tang Xin, who was lying under the bed, shook her head and slowly crawled out, preparing to leave. But then, the icy voice that came from outside the door, which wasn't unfamiliar to her, made her shrink back again.
Damn it, is he a dog? He actually chased me into this brothel!
"Hey, I'm telling you, young master, there really isn't the person you're looking for in here. You see, this is a place for people to have fun and enjoy themselves. How could I possibly let those little beggars mix in with our customers?" The old madam, dressed up in her finery, was waving her red handkerchief and smiling, blocking the doorway with her body, afraid he would ruin her business.
