Chapter 21: Angry Su Xingchen
Because he was thinking about the candy promised by Duan Feibai, Tao Jingyi ate this meal very well, not picky eaters, not making trouble, and he ate whatever Duan Feibai fed him. When she was full, she patted her stomach and said seriously, "I'm full."
Tao Jingyi was full, but Duan Feibai couldn't eat any more. He had to prepare the antidote as soon as possible, otherwise, he would be driven mad by her.
Duan Feibai called the waiter downstairs, cleaned up the leftovers, changed his clothes, and prepared to go to the street to buy herbs for the antidote.
Tao Jingyi sat on the bed and stared at him as he put on his outer robe.
When Duan Feibai walked towards the door, she immediately followed behind.
Duan Feibai turned around and said softly, "You wait for me here, and I'll bring you candy when I come back."
Tao Jingyi's eyes were shining brightly: "Daddy took me to buy candy."
Duan Feibai frowned and repeated: "You wait for me at home."
Tao Jingyi's mouth was flattened, and he was about to cry "Wow" again.
Duan Feibai frowned, and said, "Okay, I'll take you there."
Only then did Tao Jingyi grin with satisfaction.
In order to help her wash her hair before, he untied her hair in a bun, and now her hair is loose, with black strands hanging behind her, silky and silky.
Naturally, you can't have your hair disheveled like this when you go out. Duan Feibai looked at her long loose hair, picked up the comb, and combed her hair. He didn't know how to tie the woman's hair in a bun, but tied half of her hair with a headband, and tied a bow thoughtfully.
With the new hairstyle, Tao Jingyi was very happy, shaking his head in front of him and asking, "Daddy, do you look good?"
Duan Feibai was a little surprised that she was so stupid that she even knew the word "good-looking". Perhaps it is human nature to love beauty, and children are no exception. He nodded and said, "It's nice."
Having received his praise, Tao Jingyi was even happier.
Duan Feibai reminded: "When you go out later, you must follow me, and you are not allowed to walk around alone, you understand?"
She nodded, paused, and said, "...sugar."
The two simply packed up and went out. The inn was built in the busiest part of the town. As soon as you went out, there was a lot of people, and there were vendors shouting everywhere. Fearing that Tao Jingyi would get lost, Duan Feibai kept holding her hand after going out.
Tao Jingyi's eyes lit up, and everything he saw was novel.
Duan Feibai bought her a pack of jelly beans. With the jelly beans, she couldn't care less about anything. Holding the jelly beans in both hands, she chewed happily.
Duan Feibai took her into a pharmacy, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and handed it to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, please prepare these medicinal materials for me."
The shopkeeper glanced at it, wondering: "This..."
"But what's wrong?"
"If it had come a few days ago, these medicinal materials must have been sufficient, but a woman came to the town yesterday and bought all these medicinal materials at a high price."
While Duan Feibai was talking to the shopkeeper, Tao Jingyi was biting her jelly beans, staring at the people walking up and down the street. A peddler carrying candied haws walked past the door of the pharmacy. The bright red hawthorns were wrapped in beautiful syrup, which showed an attractive color under the sun.
Tao Jingyi immediately reached out to pull Duan Feibai's clothes, and said urgently, "Daddy, Tang, Tang..."
Because of this claim, the shopkeeper glanced at Tao Jingyi in surprise, obviously he couldn't imagine that a young man like Duan Feibai would have such a big daughter.
Duan Feibai couldn't speak, he changed the subject with embarrassment, and asked about the appearance of the woman who bought the medicine.
Seeing the candied haws seller go further and further away, Tao Jingyi loosened Duan Feibai's clothes and walked out of the pharmacy.
There were figures everywhere, Tao Jingyi looked around and found the target on the corner of the street. She immediately chased after her, and within a few steps, a white puppy rushed in front of her, barking twice.
Tao Jingyi's attention was immediately attracted by the puppy, she squatted down curiously, and reached out to pet the puppy's head.
The puppy let her touch its head very docilely, and even rubbed its fluffy head against her palm.
Tao Jingyi giggled. She tilted her head and thought for a while, then took out a jelly bean from the bag, squeezed it with her fingers, and brought it to the puppy's mouth: "Dog, eat candy."
The puppy first sniffed with his nose, and after confirming that there was no danger, he opened his mouth. It's just that it didn't control its strength well, and two rows of teeth knocked against Tao Jingyi's hand.
Tao Jingyi was in pain, and immediately burst into earth-shattering cries.
"Woo, Daddy! Daddy!" She hugged Tangdou, sitting on the ground, crying and calling Daddy. Startled, the puppy turned his head and ran into the crowd.
A beautiful big girl sat on the street whimpering and crying, and soon attracted a crowd of onlookers. A young man on the street was asking around with a portrait, when he suddenly saw a crowd of people in front of him, and he didn't know what it was.
He was young and curious, so he rolled up the portrait, put it in his arms, pushed aside the crowd, and squeezed all the way to the front.
Originally, he wanted to watch the excitement with the passers-by, but when he saw the person sitting on the ground clearly, his complexion changed drastically, he cursed a word, and rushed forward: "That's my sister!"
Although Tao Jingyi's face was full of tears and his hair was messy, Su Xingchen recognized at a glance that it was the sister he had been looking for all the way.
"Sister, why are you here?" Su Xingchen rushed to her side and knelt down, and asked in a loud voice. Seeing her crying so sadly, he looked ruthless, "Is someone bullying you?"
Seeing that Tao Jingyi kept calling Daddy, the onlookers were surprised and discussed in low voices. Su Xingchen's ears are sharp, and the two words he hears the most are "fools".
A strong killing intent rose in his heart.
Tao Jingyi's fingers still had blood from being knocked out by the dog's teeth. Hearing the boy's voice, he stopped crying, raised his head and glanced at him, and seeing that it wasn't Duan Feibai, she lowered her head and started crying again, crying as she cried. : "Daddy! I want Daddy!"
Su Xingchen couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately stood up and chased away the crowd of onlookers like a fly: "Go away! Go away! Let's see if I gouged out your eyeballs."
He had a ferocious expression, and he was wearing a sword. He looked not to be trifled with, and the onlookers, having seen enough excitement, turned their heads and walked away, not daring to provoke this vicious young man.
Tao Jingyi was still crying, his face was covered with tears, and even the jelly beans were scattered all over the floor.
Su Xingchen squatted beside her at a loss: "Sister, sister, I'm Xingchen. What's wrong with you?"
Tao Jingyi ignored him, crying even more sadly, still muttering "Daddy".
Su Xingchen thought bitterly, her father, Su He, was still at the Red Maple Villa, and the Red Maple Villa was thousands of miles away, even if he rushed back, it would take several days.
In the pharmacy, after Duan Feibai finished talking with the shopkeeper, he turned around and found that Tao Jingyi, who had been standing by his side, was gone.
His heart tightened, and he immediately stepped out of the pharmacy and went to the street to look for someone. There was a lot of people on the street, he held his breath and carefully distinguished the voices, and heard a slight cry from the noisy voices.
That was Tao Jingyi's voice.
She is looking for him.
Duan Feibai immediately followed the sound, and saw a young man with a high ponytail squatting in front of Tao Jingyi from a distance, coaxing her with a sad face.
Tao Jingyi sat on the ground, not even wanting his most beloved jelly beans, crying so sad and wronged.
Duan Feibai called out loudly: "Xiyan."
Tao Jingyi suddenly heard his voice, stopped crying, raised his head, and looked at him with teary eyes. Suddenly, she pursed her mouth and stretched out her arms towards him: "Daddy!"
Su Xingchen was shocked the moment he heard Duan Feibai's voice, and when he knew that Tao Jingyi was calling "Daddy" was him, even the Nine Heavens God Thunder rolled over his head.
After Tao Jingyi disappeared, he and Duan Feibai went out to look for people. Because of the discord, the two soldiers split up and went to look for people separately. The moment he found Tao Jingyi, he was not to mention how happy he was, because he was the one who found Ajie first.
In the end, Duan Feibai came out of nowhere and became Sister's "father".
Isn't this clearly taking advantage of his siblings!
It's probably because of him that Ajie made such a ghostly appearance. Thinking of this, Su Xingchen could no longer restrain the anger in his heart, drew his long sword out of its sheath, and pointed at Duan Feibai: "Duan Feibai, what did you do to my elder sister?"
Duan Feibai ignored it, walked towards Tao Jingyi, squatted down, and held her hand. When his hand touched her fingertips, Su Xingchen slashed down with a sword, gritted his teeth and said, "Duan Feibai!"
Duan Feibai dodged to avoid his sword edge.
Su Xingchen stabbed with the second sword. His moves are fierce, and every sword hits Duan Feibai's vital points. Duan Feibai backed away a few times, his expression became serious, and he dismantled his moves.
Tao Jingyi's outstretched arms were still hanging in the air. Seeing the two fighting, her eyes lit up, she clapped her hands, and shouted loudly, "Come on! Daddy, come on!"
When Su Xingchen heard this sentence, he was so angry that he almost slipped his feet: "Sister! You can see clearly, he is not your father, he is Duan Feibai!"
Tao Jingyi stopped clapping her hands. She put her hands on her hips and glared at Su Xingchen angrily: "You are a bad guy! Daddy, kill the bad guy!"
There are still tears on her face, and with this angry little expression on her face, it is funny and cute.
Seeing that Tao Jingyi not only didn't help him, but also said that he was a bad person, Su Xingchen trembled with anger, and even his sword moves were a bit messed up.
He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Duan Feibai, what kind of medicine did you give my sister!"
Duan Fei said without changing his face: "She has been hit by the Flower God Sect's 'Seven Days'."
"End of seven days?" Su Xingchen's hands paused, obviously, he also knew what "end of seven days" was.
He withdrew his sword move, put the blade back into the scabbard at his waist, and walked towards Tao Jingyi.
Tao Jingyi looked at him with wide eyes, and shrank back.
"Sister, I am Xingchen, don't be afraid of me." A trace of injury flashed across Su Xingchen's eyes, "I will take you away now."
"Don't! Don't! Just Daddy." Tao Jingyi shook his head in resistance, his mouth pouted, and he was on the verge of crying again.
Duan Feibai walked over, held her hand, and pulled her up from the ground.
Tao Jingyi got up together, wrapped his arms around Duan Feibai's body, and looked at Su Xingchen warily.
Duan Feibai said helplessly: "You saw it too, she won't go with you."
Su Xingchen ground his teeth, and asked with a gloomy face: "How many more days?"
What he asked was how many days were left before the poisoning.
"Four days." Duan Feibai said.
"Are you sure you can save her?"
"With me here, she won't die." Duan Feibai glanced at Tao Jingyi who was holding him.
"Okay." Su Xingchen gritted his teeth, "If sister's poison cannot be cured, I will definitely let you be buried with her."
