C6 Chess Piece

After meditating for four hours, Zuo Shaoqing opened his eyes and let out a long breath. With the experience of his previous life, he only spent two hours to sink his dantian, which was much better than the time he spent three days to feel his Dantian.

Zuo Shaoqing protested with hunger in his stomach. He shouted towards the door, "Nanny Liu …"

The old wooden door was pushed open with a creak, but the person who entered was not Nanny Liu. Instead, it was a fourteen to fifteen year old dark-skinned youngster.

The young man was short and had a round face with big, intelligent eyes. He ran to Zuo Shaoqing and said: "Master, Nanny Liu went to get the food box. What orders do you have for her?"

Zuo Shaoqing quietly sized him up with a complicated expression on his face. Of course, he wouldn't forget that the person who was following beside him for seven years, in Zuo Family, was neither Nanny Liu who had been taking care of him nor Zuo Shaoyan who had occasionally shown him kindness. Instead, it was Luo Xiaoliu who had always been with him.

To him, even though Luo Xiaoliu was a servant, he was still his playmate. As long as he had something good, Luo Xiaoliu would always think of him. When they first started, he was even worried that Mrs. Xue would kick Luo Xiaoliu out of Zuo Family.

However, on those two thousand days and nights, Zuo Shaoqing finally understood a lot of things. For example, why Mrs. Xue would catch him every time he went out of line, and why Mrs. Xue would listen to the complaints he made behind his back …

"Little Six …" Zuo Shaoqing's voice was a bit hoarse. He quickly coughed twice and returned to his normal state. He said to Luo Xiaoliu, who had his head lowered, "I'm thirsty. Go and pour me a cup of tea."

Luo Xiaoliu looked up and responded with a naive smile. He didn't notice the abnormality of his master at all.

After having a cup of tea, Zuo Shaoqing sat on the side of the bed, thinking about how to deal with the chess piece put in by Mrs. Xue An.

He had many methods to make Luo Xiaoliu disappear, but with Luo Xiaoliu, Mrs. Xue would definitely arrange for another Zhang Xiaozhu, Wang Xiaosi, to disappear, which would make Luo Xiaoliu even harder to guard against.

Rather than spending time to guard against the next chess piece that he did not understand, it was better to keep the chess piece in his hands.

Luo Xiaoliu stood obediently at the side. After a long time, he could not hear Zuo Shaoqing's voice. He asked with concern: "Master, are you alright?"

Zuo Shaoqing glanced at him and said, "It's fine. When I think of tomorrow's school, I don't know where the professor will be today. He will definitely be punished."

Luo Xiaoliu smiled brilliantly, revealing his two cute canines. He said proudly: "I know, it's' eating and clothes are the most basic form of etiquette '."

"Oh? How do you know? "

"It was Second Master's errand boy, Liu Sheng. I just ran into him at the Second Gate. Second Master didn't go to the school today, so he went to report on the fake."

"Second Master? Speaking of which, I haven't even seen second brother when I went to pay my respects. " Zuo Shaoqing lowered his head, his long eyelashes casting a shadow on his eyelids. No one could guess what he was thinking at the moment.

"Hehe, I heard from Liu Sheng that Second Master stayed in West Street last night. Master is angry about this matter and Second Master will not come back until it's dark."

West Street was the Flower Street of Youuxi Town, filled with brothels of red houses. Ever since Zuo Shaoling found out that people loved to hide in it, he became extremely angry with Master Zuo for spending all day in it.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Xue's most treasured son was her son. Even if he couldn't beat her, he couldn't scold her. After saying a few words, Zuo Family, Second Master, simply stayed outside and didn't even return home.

Zuo Shaoqing thought about how his second brother had never fought against him since he was young. In his previous life, he had always been at a disadvantage. Perhaps, he might be able to recover some interest for the rest of his life.

One must know that the most overbearing and unreasonable people usually had the simplest minds.

After lunch, Zuo Shaoqing waved away Luo Xiaoliu and told Nanny Liu to prepare some of his favorite green bean cake. Then he took the money bag and went out.

Since he had a new life, he would not easily trust anyone. Since he knew that Luo Xiaoliu was in trouble, he would not let him report his actions to Mrs. Xue.

To control a person, there was no other way but to "coerce and tempt". Zuo Shaoqing had no money nor power, so he could only start with the word "coerce".

The Zuo's Mansion walked out from the side door, and Zuo Shaoqing walked on the familiar street. It had been seven years, but he could still clearly remember that old man who sold sesame seed cakes, Auntie Li who sold pearl flowers, and Widow Chen who sold tofu … Every single place he passed by, carried memories of his Youuxi Town.

Compared to the bustling capital, the Youuxi Town was much more sluggish. However, this was the only place that Zuo Shaoqing missed, and it was his nightmare in the capital.

After turning into a remote medicine store, Zuo Shaoqing took out a prescription for the medicine boy to catch the herbs. Under the strange gaze of the medicine boy, he walked out of the shop.

"Master, the medicinal plant that Master bought just now had a kiss on it. I remember that you said that this medicine could not be used carelessly, right?"

"Kiss, that's highly toxic. How much did he buy?"

"Half a dollar."

"Oh, that's alright. It might be used to treat some kind of vicious sore." Old Doctor replied indifferently.

The ingredient girl carefully recalled the herbs on the prescription and nodded her head in agreement. It really did look like a prescription for ointment.
