Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 16 Repaying kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge

"Look at what you cut, huh?"

"You ruined a good plate of meat!"

The burly chef stood with one hand on his waist and the other pointing his sword, spit flying everywhere. Gao Cheng lowered his head and said nothing.

Only after the other party had cursed enough did he force a smile and say a few words carefully. The former then left with a hum and went to supervise the other guys at work.

Gao Cheng looked at the unevenly thick slices of meat on the chopping board and suddenly sighed.

The turn of summer and autumn, when the weather turns from hot to cool, is always a time when people are prone to getting sick.

A few days into September, my son caught a cold. He was listless all day and couldn't eat.

Gao Chengji, the only son, was worried sick every day. He went to his master to ask for leave, but the master didn't ask any questions and just scolded him. He asked, "Are you too independent? Don't you want to do this anymore? Do you think you can finish your apprenticeship?"

All the words in my heart were blocked.

Unfortunately, her mother-in-law was very stingy and asked her to take the child to see a doctor, but she was reluctant to spend the money. She said it was just a minor problem and it would be fine in a few days.

After a few days without any improvement, the wife at home started looking for witches and charlatans, and used talismans and water to pray to the gods.

"Ugh"

The more Gao Cheng thought about it, the angrier he became. He picked up a kitchen knife and started cutting the meat into thin pieces.

When the chef heard this, his eyebrows raised and he came over with his hands on his hips:
"high"

"Brother Gao, I'm here to see you!"

The person who came had a loud voice. Just by hearing the voice, the outline of a strong man appeared in their minds. When the tall figure with a black turban, a red headband and a white round collar walked in, the guys were so scared that they took a step back.

How can this guy look so fierce?

Still look familiar?
"You, you are Nezha?"

Gao Cheng stared blankly at the tall young man in front of him. Although he had grown a few inches taller and had become much stronger, he recognized him at a glance. This was Li Cunxiao, who had been relying on him for support just a month ago.

"What's with this outfit? Cunxiao, are you a bodyguard?!"

After hearing what Gao Cheng said, the people around him came to their senses and their eyes were filled with shock.

My goodness, it’s only been a month and Li Jia Sanlang has become a bodyguard?
A comeback!
"Li Sanlang, are you Li Sanlang?"

The chef squinted his eyes, looked flustered, and gesticulated, looking incredibly funny.

Gao Cheng was also at a loss as he looked at the drastically changed Li Cunxiao. It was the latter who took the initiative to step forward and affectionately grasped his hand:

"Brother Gao, I've been busy practicing and working since I joined the escort agency, so I haven't been able to come to see you for more than half a month. Please don't complain."

As he spoke, he lifted the paper bag in his left hand.

"Well, I'm free today, so I bought some food. Shall we have a couple of drinks?"

As he said this, Li Cunxiao turned his head and glanced at the chef with his leopard-like face.

"Master Zhang, I'm taking Brother Gao out for a drink. Will that keep you busy?"

"I can handle it! I can handle it!"

Master Zhang looked at his ferocious face and was so frightened that he breathed cautiously and could only nod hurriedly. Seeing this, Li Cunxiao and Gao Cheng left the kitchen and asked for leave from the restaurant owner.

Donglai Restaurant itself is a place frequented by the Feihu Escort Agency. When the owner saw the clothes on Li Cunxiao, he immediately understood everything.

Gao Cheng was immediately given a day off and a red envelope of ten taels of silver was given to Li Cunxiao. He said that Li Cunxiao was also from the restaurant business and that he must show his appreciation for the good news. He also said that Gao Cheng worked diligently and that Master Zhang was a bit too strict.

Gao Cheng was still dizzy when he walked out of Donglai Restaurant. His feet felt like they were stepping on cotton, deep and shallow. Everything seemed so unreal.

That stingy shopkeeper actually gave people red envelopes?

Normally, when he packed up the leftovers to take home, the shopkeeper's face would become as ugly as a horse's.

But look at the friendly smiling face he showed in front of Li Cunxiao just now. He only gave it to the guests in the building. When did he give it to the waiters?

"Brother, I, I."

Gao Cheng's honest face turned red at some point. He turned his head and then looked up, like a drunk old ox.

Li Cunxiao looked at him but couldn't laugh. He just squeezed the other's arm hard and said seriously: "Brother Gao, you have taken care of me and Mu Cha for so many years, I will remember it in my heart."

"I can't let you get bullied."

Gao Cheng's back straightened up all of a sudden, as if something had been injected into his body. He pulled Li Cunxiao tightly, excitedly saying:
"Okay! Good Saburo! Come on, let's go home and have a drink!"

"Second Uncle, Li Sanlang is just a bodyguard, not a leader. Why are you giving him a red envelope?"

Upon hearing this brainless remark, Shopkeeper Sun was so angry that he slapped his nephew in the face. The latter staggered and looked at his uncle in disbelief. The uncle's face was full of disappointment:

"Stupid! Stupid! Do you think Li Sanlang is still the same beggar? Can't you see how big his arms are and how big his fists are?"

"These warriors only have swords and guns on their minds. Do you think they would care about the law when they are so hot-blooded?"

"Not to mention that there are wars everywhere and refugees everywhere. There's no telling when the world will be in chaos."

"The escorts may not be considered important figures now, but after a while, when Chuqiu becomes chaotic, the fifty or sixty strong men of the Flying Tiger Escort Agency will not be escorts, but tigers that eat people without leaving any bones!"

"Feed a tiger now, and maybe you can save it later. I ask you, which is more cost-effective?"

"Your second uncle may be greedy for money, but I value my life more!"

The young man listened and nodded in agreement, not knowing how much he understood.

Shopkeeper Sun sighed and had just sent the man away when suddenly a waiter came running over and said that Chief Zhang from the Flying Tiger Escort Agency had temporarily sent someone to order a whole lamb banquet and would be coming over in the evening.

Shopkeeper Sun did not dare to delay and hurried to the kitchen to urge them.

"Boss, I'm afraid it's too late since Gao Cheng isn't here."

Master Zhang looked embarrassed, secretly complaining in his heart, "Why give Gao Cheng a holiday when he's in a good position? Apprentices are supposed to work, but you, Shopkeeper Sun, are doing me a favor for no reason?"
"If you're too busy, why don't you go and invite Gao Cheng back? It's perfect to ease the relationship between you two, master and apprentice. You still have to pass on your skills, right?"

After Manager Sun finished speaking, he turned around and left without caring about Master Zhang's alternating pale and blue complexion.

The latter stayed for a few minutes, finally sighed, turned and walked out.

The guys were all trying to hold back their laughter. After the man left, before a few laughs could escape their throats, they saw Master Zhang fall back again, so they quickly held back their laughter again.

But I saw Master Zhang picking up a roast chicken and a bottle of rice wine in the kitchen, and then he turned around on his short legs and went to Gao Cheng's house.

Laughter finally broke out in the kitchen.

"Fatty Zhang, you've come to this day!"

"Brother Gao, don't just drink, eat the food. Sister-in-law, you eat too."

"Huzi, come and drink the medicine. When you recover, Brother Li will buy you some candied haws."

Arriving at Gao Cheng's house, Li Cunxiao became nervous when he saw the sick Hu Zi.

The poor people at the bottom of society do not have any knowledge of hygiene and are short of money, so they often avoid seeing a doctor because they think they can just tough it out. Li Cunxiao certainly would not take this lightly.

Ignoring the Gao couple's dissuasion, he immediately took the child to see a doctor. Fortunately, it was just a common cold and the doctor said it was not serious and would be fine after taking medicine for a few days.

The medicine was naturally not cheap. Fortunately, before leaving, he borrowed some money from Hebi.

Originally he wanted to borrow five taels, but the latter waved his hand and directly gave him twenty taels, saying that it was to congratulate him on becoming a bodyguard.

The friendship of friends can only be repaid slowly.

"Sister-in-law, if you get sick in the future, don't consult a shaman or witch doctor. It won't help."

Gao's sister-in-law looked at her brother who had suddenly become rich, and remembered what she had said before. She could only lower her head and said embarrassedly:
"It wasn't me, it was those people who came to me. I won't go there anymore."

"I told you not to believe that! Those Mingzun Cult members, all dressed in white and wearing black hats, are definitely not good people!"

Gao Cheng didn't drink much, but he was in high spirits:

"By the way, Sanlang, a few days ago, the Green Snake Gang and the Wolf Gang had a fight. I heard that the bald snake had his hand broken! The Green Snake Gang, do you remember that?"

Li Cunxiao narrowed his eyes upon hearing this:

"Is the bald snake injured?"
