Chapter 152 Life or death
Hearing this, a crack finally appeared on Xiao Tingshan's jade-like face again.
He looked at Shen Shuyi in front of him in disbelief, almost suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.
Jinzhu and Yuping stood behind Shen Shuyi, holding their handkerchiefs and unable to help laughing. Songbai's face turned red with anger. He wanted to speak for Xiao Tingshan, but then he remembered the last time Shen Shuyi scolded him for being unruly.
Song Ren couldn't bear to watch this, so he stepped forward and said angrily, "Miss, how can you be so rude! Do you know who our Master is?"
Without Shen Shuyi saying anything, Jin Zhu retorted, "Who do we care who your young master is? Your young master took the initiative to talk to you first, and then asked you questions attentively. Why do you act like a desperate dog when others are talking?"
Song Ren was very angry and glared at Jin Zhu: "You..."
Before he could finish his words, Jin Zhu interrupted him again: "What do you mean? Our young lady is a very sincere person and cannot lie. Your young master asked this question, so our young lady responded seriously. It can be said that she is very sincere. What's wrong with that?"
Song Ren was choked and was as angry as a puffer fish, with his eyes turning red.
After a while, he turned to look at Xiao Tingshan: "Sir!"
Jin Zhu was not polite at all and said again: "Why call me Master? It's useless even if you call me dad. This is the capital, and everything must be done according to the law. Don't think that you can bully us weak women just because you have more people and more power!"
Song Ren wanted to say something else, but was pulled back by Song Bai.
Xiao Tingshan looked directly at Shen Shuyi, his gentle and warm eyes now had a bit of haze, he said again: "You and I just met by chance, why do you have to be so aggressive, Miss Shen?"
Shen Shuyi looked at him with resentment, and said quietly, "Sir Song, it's not that I'm being aggressive, it's really..."
Xiao Tingshan frowned and waited for what to come.
The next moment, Shen Shuyi sighed deeply and said, "It's true... they really look alike~"
This time, Xiao Tingshan's face turned green. He thought she would say something else, but he didn't expect her to say the same thing!
Wenren Zong's eyes were unfathomable as he looked at Shen Shuyi with a little more scrutiny.
After a while, Xiao Tingshan stared at Shen Shuyi and suddenly smiled, saying in a gentle voice: "Miss Shen is really interesting."
Shen Shuyi curled her lips, looked directly at Xiao Tingshan and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether it's interesting or not, but if Mr. Song only listens to the flattery and praise of others, then you shouldn't ask this question. I have been practicing in the Jade Buddha Temple for many years and have never learned the etiquette. This is how I speak. If Mr. Song doesn't like it, remember to stay away next time, so as not to hurt Mr. Song's fragile heart with my quick words."
In one word, there was an indescribable sarcasm.
The last sentence, 'fragile heart' seemed to irritate Xiao Tingshan.
He suddenly started coughing violently, as if someone had poked him in a painful spot, and his emotions became a little unstable.
Songbai quickly supported him and said, "Sir!"
Xiao Tingshan covered his mouth with a handkerchief, coughed for a while, and spat out a tiny trace of blood: "No problem."
Songbai and Songren's eyes were full of worry, and there was more hatred in their looks towards Shen Shuyi.
Shen Shuyi looked calm and not afraid at all.
In this life, there is no possibility of reconciliation between her and Xiao Tingshan, it can only be a life-and-death battle.
However, she would not let him die so easily!
She wanted him to watch helplessly as everything he longed for was turned into illusions and could not be obtained!

Just at this moment, the old wooden door of the house opened again, and the medicine boy hurried out. His eyes fell on Xiao Tingshan with a little more smile on his face.
"Mr. Song, Master invites you in."
Hearing this, Xiao Tingshan's expression lit up with joy. He no longer cared about Shen Shuyi. After exchanging a glance with Wen Renzong, the two of them quickly walked into the old house.
Shen Shuyi was not in a hurry. He ordered a pot of tea from a tea stall not far away and planned to wait for the two to come out.
Yu Ping whispered: "Miss, Mr. Liancheng is willing to see them now, maybe he is unwilling to see us again..."
Shen Shuyi took a sip of the low-quality tea from the tea stall, his expression unchanged, and said in a calm voice: "No."
If Liancheng was so easy to persuade, she wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble back then.
At this moment, led by the medicine boy, Xiao Tingshan and Wen Renzong arrived side by side.
In the innermost courtyard, under a lush cypress tree, a man in tattered clothes was lying on a recliner, rocking gently, holding a wine jug in his hand, and taking a few sips from time to time.
Xiao Tingshan's gaze fell on Liancheng. He found it hard to believe that the slovenly man in front of him was the legendary ghost doctor Liancheng who could heal the dead and bring the dead back to life.
Although he thought this in his heart, he did not show it on his face.
Xiao Tingshan stood three meters away from Liancheng and bowed: "Mr. Liancheng, I am Song..."
Lian Cheng interrupted impatiently, "Take the things away. You said you found some clues about Lian Qiao. Tell me about it."
Xiao Tingshan paused and glanced at the box of gold and silver he brought with him. It was just thrown casually on the ground without even the chain fastened. It seemed as if he had just glanced at it and then thrown it aside without any courtesy.
Xiao Tingshan did not force him any further and said, "To be honest, I was once poisoned, so I asked Mr. Liancheng for help. After knowing Mr. Liancheng's wish, I have always hoped to help you and your daughter reunite."
Liancheng still had that nonchalant attitude, leaning back in the recliner and gulping down wine. It was obvious that he was not very interested in what Xiao Tingshan said.
Seeing that he remained silent, Xiao Tingshan continued, "I found out that Miss Lian Qiao appeared in the Xiangcheng area a few years ago, but later there was a flood in Xiangcheng, so she headed north. During that time, someone spotted her in the Yangcheng area."
Xiao Tingshan spoke slowly, observing Liancheng's expression.
But to his disappointment, Lian Cheng didn't even move, his eyes were sleepy, as if he was half asleep, or a little drunk.
Xiao Tingshan was disappointed but didn't show it on his face. He said, "A year ago, someone saw a girl who looked very similar to Lianqiao in Hancheng. Unfortunately, when I tracked her down, she had already left."
"The most recent one was three months ago. Someone found a girl with a red plum blossom-shaped birthmark in the corner of her eye near the Jade Buddha Temple in the suburbs of Beijing. I sent a lot of people to search for her, but we haven't found anything yet..."
"If Mr. Liancheng trusts me, I will help you find Miss Lianqiao at all costs."
After patiently listening to all this, Lian Cheng sneered, finally sat up, and glanced at Xiao Tingshan: "So after listening to all your nonsense, there is no useful information at all."
Songbai felt that this was too rude, so he said, "Our master has been trying his best to find her. Although he hasn't found her yet, he has at least found the trace of Miss Lianqiao from Xiangcheng. If nothing unexpected happens, Miss Lianqiao should be near the capital."
Lian Cheng glanced at him with a sneer: "If nothing unexpected happens? How do you know there won't be any accidents? Okay, if you are willing to help, then I have to thank you. As for other things, we will find someone first!"
