Chapter 43: Farewell Without Saying
"Thank you for your help, otherwise if I let my family fall into the hands of those robbers, I'm afraid I'll have to die to preserve my chastity!" Although the car could not salute, the beautiful woman in the car still lowered her head and nodded and thanked Zhou Chong.
"Madam, you are polite. It is our scholars' duty to help him when he sees unfairness!" Zhou Chong also replied with a polite manner, and at the same time he secretly said in his heart. Judging from the other party's age, clothing, and the conversation between the three of them just now, this beautiful woman should be a young woman who has been married. Although Zhou Chong is not the kind of person who wants to take her as an existing woman when she sees her beautiful woman, as a man, he still feels instinctively sorry.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Chong looked at the two people next to the beautiful young woman. The little girl with a crisp voice had already hid behind the young woman. She seemed to be afraid of strangers, but the child had a curious nature, so the little girl stretched out a little head from behind the young woman and was secretly looking at Zhou Chong.
The little girl looks about the same age as Duoer, and she is extremely beautiful in pink and jade, and is even three points more adorable than Duoer. From this point of view, the little girl should have inherited the advantages of her mother's appearance. It can be seen at a young age that she will definitely be a rare beauty when she grows up in the future.
As for the woman driving the car, Zhou Chong was shocked. He had already known from the conversation between the other party that the woman driving the car was the sister of a beautiful young woman, so he thought that the woman driving the car must be a beauty too.
But what Zhou Chong didn't expect was that what he saw was a guy with a disheveled face. He saw that the other party was wearing a torn cotton jacket that could not be distinguished, covering his whole body tightly. His face was covered with gray and he didn't know what to do. Moreover, because of driving the car, the other party had sweated a lot on his face. Now he turned the black and gray one by one, looking even more embarrassed. Fortunately, Zhou Chong had already known that the other party was a woman before, otherwise he would have regarded her as a thin handlebar.
A beautiful young woman was carrying her daughter, but her sister deliberately dressed up in a dirty handlebar style. The two women drove a carriage to Songjiang Mansion in the heavy snow, and it was about to be celebrated during the Chinese New Year. Needless to ask, there must be an unknown story on the other party.
Zhou Chong met with him for the first time. Although he saved the three of them and one life, it was not easy to ask each other directly about their origins. Moreover, he was not interested in this. However, the good man was done to the end, and the carriage had been broken, so Zhou Chong helped the three people in the carriage slowly get off.
"Ah, are you injured?" Just as the beautiful young woman got off the carriage with her daughter, the woman who was driving the car suddenly found that there was blood behind Zhou Chong's back, so she screamed, and at the same time she was concerned about her desire to help Zhou Chong check his injuries.
"Thank you for your concern. Some minor injuries are not worth mentioning. When someone comes, someone will naturally help me deal with it." Zhou Chong stepped back a few steps at once. Just kidding, Zhou Chong was injured but his butt, so naturally a woman could not check it out, otherwise he would be really shameless to see someone.
As Zhou Chong retreated, the beautiful young woman and the woman who drove the car saw where he was injured. At that moment, the two women were extremely embarrassed, especially the woman who drove the car. Thinking that she wanted to bandage the other party just now, it made her feel even more embarrassed. Fortunately, she had a lot of things on her face, and no one could see that her face was blushing, but the tips of her ears on her hairline were extremely red. At the same time, she lowered her head and never dared to look at Zhou Chong again.
Just when Zhou Chong and the others were a little embarrassed, Wang Lun finally called someone back. Because Zhou Chong didn't want too many people to know that his butt was injured, Wang Lun just called the servant he brought, and also his own carriage. Based on the principle of saving people to the end, Wang Lun invited the three beautiful young women to get on the carriage. As for the broken carriage and the four unconscious murderers, Wang Lun's servants stayed to deal with it.
Although Zhou Chong's injury was not very serious, the wound was very long. In addition, the beautiful young woman also hit her head, so it would be better to ask the doctor to take her to a clinic first. The doctor bandaged Zhou Chong's wound in the back hall and changed into a piece of clothing that Wang Lun asked his servant to buy.
Speaking of which, although Zhou Chong's wound was not deep, it hurt his buttocks and thighs, which affected his walking. For example, he could not take too much steps, otherwise it would affect the wound, which made him only move forward in small steps, which was very inconvenient.
While Zhou Chong was bandaging in the clinic, Wang Lun sent someone to Zhou Mansion to report the news. As a result, Butler Xu ran to the clinic in a hurry. He happened to see Zhou Chong moving out of the back hall. He immediately ran over to support him and said, "Young Master, please wait, where are you injured? Is it serious?"
Zhou Chong saw that there were many people in the clinic, so he was embarrassed to say that he had hurt his butt, so he could only vaguely say: "It's okay, a little bit of skin injury, it's enough to take care of it for two days!"
"Is it really okay? Aunt Wang and the others are worried that they are bad. Let me tell you if the injury is serious?" Mr. Xu said, touching Zhou Chong's arms and chest with both hands. It seemed that he was trying to find the wound, but unfortunately he touched it, but he couldn't find it.
"Okay, my injury is not serious. Let's talk about this matter when I go home. Why are Uncle Wang and the others not here?" Zhou Chong reacted at this time and pushed away Butler Xu's fat hand. He just looked at the clinic lobby, but did not find Wang Lun and the beautiful young woman, only two servants from the royal palace were guarding.
However, just as Zhou Chong finished speaking, Wang Lun came in from outside the door. When he saw Zhou Chong coming out, he immediately walked up with a smile and asked, "Zhong'er, how do you feel? Does the wound still hurt?"
"Your uncle, the doctor has already treated the wound, and it will be fine if you take care of it for a few days!" Zhou Chong immediately bowed and replied.
"Well, right, as the saying goes, young people are terrifying. Uncle used to know that you are talented, but I didn't expect you to be proficient in fighting skills." Wang Lun is becoming more and more curious about Zhou Chong, because he found that since the Zhou family was defeated and lagging behind, Zhou Chong's performance has surpassed his surprise again and again, but soon his face changed again, "But Chong'er, you have to remember that the most important thing about fighting skills is to protect yourself. If you are as brave as those warriors, you will defile your identity. Therefore, you must always remember your identity as a scholar!"
Since the Tumu Fort Incident, the generals of the Ming Dynasty have been completely suppressed by civil officials. The status of the generals is similar to that of the Song Dynasty. Not only does the court pay extreme attention to the warriors, but even all classes in society despise warriors very much. Among them, the scholar class is the representative of it. Wang Lun's subsequent words also deeply reflect the attitude of scholars towards warriors.
Although Zhou Chong was very dissatisfied with Wang Lun's words, after all, he lived a life of courage and ruthlessness in his previous life. However, his current status is different. He has already learned to play his role, so he smiled and replied: "What uncle taught me is that my nephew must remember it!"
Seeing Zhou Chong's expression of sincere education, Wang Lun nodded again with satisfaction. Then he remembered something and said again: "By the way, the two women we saved just now have left. They originally wanted to pay for you before leaving, but I saw that it was not easy for them to take a child with them, so I refused for you. In addition, I think they also have their own difficulties, so I didn't try to keep them."
When Zhou Zhong heard that the beautiful young woman had left, as a normal man, he was also a little disappointed. After all, this was the first time in his two lives that he had done such a hero to save beauty. Unfortunately, the beauty has long been a woman, and he is not a hero in essence.
Although he was disappointed, Zhou Chong quickly left this matter behind. Wang Lun helped him pay for the medical expenses. Zhou Chong knew that the other party was not short of money at all, so he was not polite. Then Wang Lun sent Zhou Chong back to Zhou's mansion with a carriage. As a result, when Aunt Wang and Cheer saw Zhou Chong who was inconvenient to walk, they felt even more distressed and burst into tears.
"Brother, where are you hurt? Let Aunt and I see if the injury is serious?" Mr. Xu just helped Zhou Chong into his own bedroom. Jianer, who was crying, immediately stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Haha, it's okay, just have a small injury, just take a two-day rest!" Zhou Chong lay on the bed in a little embarrassed manner and replied. Since he entered the yard, Aunt Wang and Cheer have been asking him if the injury is serious, and they also wanted to check it out in person, but Zhou Chong found a way to avoid it.
"I can't even lie down. I'm still saying it's okay. Let my aunt see if it hurts my back?" Aunt Wang was also so distressed that she burst into tears. Zhou Chong lost his mother since she was a child. It can be said that she raised her. In her heart, Zhou Chong is no different from her own son. Therefore, when she sees Zhou Chong being injured, she is more anxious than anyone else.
"Auntie, it's really okay!" Zhou Chong was also panicked by the tears of Aunt Wang and Cheer, but the place where he was hurt was really hard to say, especially Cheer was still here.
"Why don't you let us see it? It must be because the injury is too serious. Brother, you are worried that it will scare us, so you don't let me and my mother see it!" As the saying goes, care is messy. The more Zhou Chong doesn't say it, the worse the bracelet will think.
Seeing this, Zhou Chong felt that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he could only pull Aunt Wang over with a wry smile, and then whispered to her where she was injured. After hearing this, Aunt Wang smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "Zhong'er, you are really, Auntie has changed your shit and urine since you were a child. I haven't seen anything before. Now you are actually embarrassed to Auntie?"
Bracelet next to her turned into laughter and cry when she saw her mother, and then heard her mother's words. Bingxue was so smart that she was stunned at first, and immediately guessed that her brother must have injured some secret part, which made her red and blush. Finally, she shyly spat at Zhou Chongqing, turned around and ran out of the bedroom. She probably wouldn't dare to see Zhou Chong again today.
There is a saying that disaster never comes alone. During the period when Zhou Chong was recovering from his injuries, a conspiracy against them in Songjiang Prefecture was brewing.
