Chapter 468 The Road to Revenge is Full of Stumbling Blocks (2)
Xia Zhongbai tried to sit up, but Su Dingding pressed down on his shoulder.
"Uncle Xia, you can focus on recovering. Leave these bastards to me," Su Dingding said with a serious expression.
“Xi’er…” Xia Zhongbai was extremely worried.
Wei Dongxi's skills were so rudimentary that he couldn't beat anyone, and besides, he was also poisoned.
Su Dingding walked confidently and calmly to the table and poured a cup of tea.
After serving tea to Xia Zhongbai, Su Dingding said, "I will definitely be back in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."
Xia Zhongbai was inexplicably moved. This was a trick he used to often use to deceive children: "Uncle will be back after you finish eating the steamed buns," or "Uncle will be back after you wake up..."
However, this is usually when his fate is beyond his control.
Looking at the young boy in front of him with concern, Xia Zhongbai still wanted to show off, but then the door was kicked open.
An old eunuch with white hair walked in first. He looked like someone not to be trifled with, with his eyes and eyebrows slanted arrogantly to the sky.
"Little brat, let's see where you run to this time!"
Hearing the old eunuch's shrill voice, Su Dingding immediately retorted in a high-pitched voice, "You old geezer, your grandpa never intended to escape!"
"You!" The old eunuch was so angry that his face turned green.
Xia Zhongbai recognized him; this old eunuch was the head of the Eastern Depot, and his martial arts skills were formidable. Even without his injuries and poisoning, he might not be a match for him.
"You, you, you, you, what the hell are you talking about!" Su Dingding actually walked over to them. "Let's fight outside, don't disturb Uncle Xia's rest."
Xia Zhongbai's heart was in his throat. He had no desire to rest. At this moment, he only hated that his whole body was weak and powerless. He was so anxious that he couldn't get up.
Just as Su Dingding passed by the old eunuch, the old eunuch suddenly turned sinister and reached out his claws to grab her head.
Su Dingding tilted her head, grabbed the old eunuch's wrist with her small hand, leaned forward, and threw him away.
The old eunuch's body crashed through the railing, flew out, fell to the first floor, and then smashed into a table, leaving him feeling like his bones were about to shatter.
Upon seeing this, the other lackeys rushed towards Su Dingding.
Su Dingding held a pair of chopsticks in his hand, sticking them in one by one as the Eastern Depot's lackeys came, and soon they were all one-eyed.
Downstairs, there was a chorus of wails; lying on the ground were the eunuchs from the Eastern Depot who had been blinded and kicked down by Su Dingding.
Su Dingding sat on the second-floor stair railing, with a few chopsticks in her hand.
"You old geezer, you think you can capture your grandpa with so few men? I still have a few chopsticks left, otherwise I would have given them to you!"
Before he finished speaking, Su Dingding leaped down.
The old eunuch scrambled to his feet in terror, shouting, "Attack! Attack!"
The few remaining able-bodied people were so frightened that their legs went weak, and all they could think about was getting away from there as quickly as possible to escape for their lives.
Seeing that no one was protecting him, the old eunuch could only get up and try to hold on.
He gathered his inner strength, intending to kill Su Dingding with one blow, but his slap missed, and chopsticks were immediately stuck into both of Su's eyes.
Looking at the five chopsticks left in his hand, Su Dingding smiled. Just right!
So, the old eunuch happily got a chopstick for each of his two ears, two nostrils, and mouth!
The old eunuch was in so much pain that he couldn't even scream. He could only roll around on the ground until he stopped moving.
The innkeeper was so frightened that he huddled in a corner, his face pale.
That's it, now their whole family has offended the Eastern Depot, and their lives are in danger.
Just as he was frowning in worry, Su Dingding came up to him and overturned the table that was blocking his way.
The innkeeper immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy.
Su Dingding handed the innkeeper a thick stack of silver notes that she had just taken from the old eunuch's arms, saying, "Consider this compensation."
The innkeeper took the silver note with trembling hands. He dared not delay; he had to quickly dismiss his staff and then flee this place of trouble with his family.
Back upstairs, Su Dingding opened the door to the room. Xia Zhongbai was still lying on the bed, covered in sweat.
He heard noises downstairs and wanted to check what was going on, but he couldn't get up no matter how hard he tried.
"Xi'er..."
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Su Dingding was safe and sound.
At the same time, they were amazed by his abilities, so their gazes toward Su Dingding gradually became more suspicious.
"Don't overthink it. Wei Dongxi is dead. I'm the one who took over his body to avenge him." Su Dingding sat at the table and poured herself a cup of tea.
Her straightforward answer shocked Gangzi.
You just said that?
The two-legged dog sitting to the side also listened intently. The bone that Gangzi gave it no longer tasted good; it also liked to watch the excitement.
Su Dingding turned to look at Xia Zhongbai, anticipating his reaction.
"Xi'er is dead?" Xia Zhongbai seemed to be talking to himself, his face dark and unreadable.
“Not only is Wei Dongxi dead, but you are dead too, and everyone in Hongshan is dead…” Su Dingding said calmly, as if he were talking about something insignificant.
"Hongshan?" Xia Zhongbai looked at Su Dingding in shock. "How do you know about Hongshan?"
Su Dingding briefly recounted her past life.
Xia Zhongbai's chest heaved, his blood pressure soared, and his blood rushed to his head.
He was actually imprisoned in a cellar for more than ten years after Song Lianhua severed his tendons in his feet and hands!
That damned Eastern Depot wiped out his entire Hongshan! They have absolutely no respect for the law!
Gangzi transformed into a giant spider to massage Xia Zhongbai's heart and temples, and then gave him a pill, which finally calmed him down.
“For Wei Dongxi, that’s all from his past life. But for you, there’s still a chance to live this life.” Su Dingding said as she walked to Xia Zhongbai’s bedside.
“One of Wei Dongxi’s wishes is to save Uncle Xia. Rather than waiting for you to be tortured by Song Lianhua before saving you, it’s better to save you from that suffering and let you redeem yourself!” Su Dingding spread his arms and chuckled.
This saves a lot of trouble.
Xia Zhongbai was somewhat moved, never expecting that the child would still be thinking of him even after death.
"Unfortunately, I am now seriously injured and poisoned..." Xia Zhongbai clenched his fist in anger.
"These are minor matters," Su Dingding said dismissively, glancing at Gangzi.
Xia Zhongbai followed Su Dingding's gaze and then discovered that there was a large spider perched on his shoulder.
But for some reason, he didn't feel scared.
The giant spider was quite handsome, and it even seemed to wink at him.
Seeing Xia Zhongbai so calm and composed, Gangzi found it rare and directly spat out a pill and stuffed it into Xia Zhongbai's mouth.
Suddenly, Xia Zhongbai felt a burning sensation all over his body, and his wounds began to heal on their own.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Xia Zhongbai felt full of energy and sat up in bed.
He moved his arm, and it really... healed!
"This is amazing!"
"How about we split up and go our separate ways?" Su Dingding asked.
"You're going to the capital?" Xia Zhongbai guessed Su Dingding's plan.
"Yes, I must avenge my family. The Eastern Depot is nothing but a lackey; the real culprit is that tyrant!"
