Tok Ku Bwee immediately turned his body to leave that place. But when he got to the door, he remembered something. “Tia… when Zhao Bouw injured me, he just killed over a hundred of our people. That boy must not be left alone!”
"Tia has received a report about it," Tok-ku Bu-ti's face turned dark.
Tok Ku Bwee continued his footsteps.
–––
At that time Song Ngo Lin felt very annoyed. Li Cu led him to the main hall. There he asked all sorts. Li Cu also asked about the characteristics of Hwesio, who was said to have saved Tok Ku Bwee. In fact, he asked in a much more detailed way than Tok-ku Bu-ti. Song Ngo Lin only answered vaguely.
The more he heard, the more Li Cu felt that he had never heard Song Ngo Lin's voice somewhere. But for a moment he couldn't remember. He still kept asking, “Where are you from?”
Song Ngo Lin was stunned. Just as he was about to randomly reply to the name of a place, Li Cu had already spoken back.
"I think I've heard your tone of voice before!" “Eh?” Song Ngo Lin's heart trembled.
"You have not answer my question. Where are you from?" Li Cu insisted.
Just as he finished speaking, Tok Ku Bwee stepped into the room. Her face beamed.
“Tia has arranged for you to work at Doctor Cai's place. He still ordered you not to be lazy. Someday maybe he will take you as a student. Come with me!” he said happily.
Song Ngo Lin quickly stood up. Li Cu also stood up.
"You haven't answered my question…" he insisted.
Tok Ku Bwee's face immediately became serious. "He's not a patient after all. What are you asking at length for?” he snapped angrily.
Li Cu's words stopped instantly. He didn't dare ask any more questions. For some reason, he was always helpless in front of Tok Ku Bwee. His eyes watched the two of them leave. I was so annoyed, Li Cu's stomach immediately became sick. Even though he had drained his memory, he still forgot where he had heard Song Ngo Lin's voice.
–––
Doctor Cai was called by the people around there as Cai Hua-to (Hua-to was a powerful healer in ancient times). According to Tok Ku Bwee's statement, his medical knowledge is not bad either. But his attitude was not commendable at all. Moreover, he is also known as a masher and money-eyed.
Precisely because of his flirtatiousness, he has violated several upright parties in Bu-lim. Finally he fled and took refuge under the banner of Bu-ti-bun. He begged Tok-ku Bu-ti to accept him as a member. Tokku Bu-ti knows that this person's medical knowledge is fine too. He also knew Bu-ti-bun needed someone like this. Therefore his request was immediately granted and he officially became a member of the college.
After becoming a member of Bu-ti-bun, his income increased. Of course he didn't dare openly blackmail the other members of Bu-ti-bun when they sought treatment for him. The people of that area became an easy target.
Especially towards Tok Ku Bwee, his respect was abysmal.
He's still not very old. Just entered head four. Of course he still wanted to live a little longer. Because of that also in his outward appearance he always obeys all the rules that apply in Bu-ti-bun.
Meanwhile, Song Ngo Lin was taken by Tok Ku Bwee, of course he didn't dare to ask too many questions or refuse. He immediately accepted the young man. Even he did not allow Song Ngo Lin to do manual labor.
Secretly in his heart he thought that maybe the young man was sent as a spy to investigate his movements.
Song Ngo Lin was assigned to record the names of the patients. Occasionally weighing the dose of medicine or accompanying him to town to buy a supply of medicine that is running low.
If he buys a hundred tahl's worth of medicine, he is at least making twenty tahl's profit into his own pocket. Song Ngo Lin also got a lot. He did this because he was afraid that Song Ngo Lin would be Tok Ku Bwee's subordinate. If he had shared some of the profits with the young man, maybe he wouldn't have told Tok Ku Bwee anything even if he saw something out of place.
Actually Song Ngo Lin didn't care either. It's a shame that healer Cai didn't know. What caught Song Ngo Lin's attention the most were the concoctions of the medicines and the names of the patients and their illnesses. Every time Bu-ti-bun members went to healer Cai for treatment, that person would keep the files in a big cupboard. Song Ngo Lin is interested in dismantling the archive. So every day, when there isn't much work, he pretends to clean all the furniture and tidy up letters or recipes that are no longer used and then pile them together. Thus, healer Cai didn't suspect anything at all. It's just a pity, even though he had dismantled to the point of exhaustion, he couldn't find what he was looking for. There are a lot of people who have she Sen too. But no one named Sen Man-cing.
He didn't lose hope. Now he began to pay attention to every patient who came. After watching for about a month, he finally found a strange maid.
The maid's name was Goat Ngo. Once he came to take medicine. Song Ngo Lin used to record the name of the patient and what the illness was. He was instead blocked by healer Cai and laughed at by the lady-in-waiting who said that she didn't know the rules.
After that, healer Cai escorted Goat Ngo to the outside of the shop. On his return to the house, the person still told him, if Goat Ngo came again in the future, how much medicine he asked for, Song Ngo Lin had to give it and there was no need to record it. Song Ngo Lin tried to press him with various questions, but Doctor Cai did not give an explanation. He simply turned to Song Ngo Lin and said, “The less Bu-ti-bun business you know, the better for yourself. Don't meddle in other people's business!”
Even though Song Ngo Lin said yes in his mouth, his heart had other thoughts. As for the doctor Cai's crazy play with Su Sam-ko, he pretended not to see it. He didn't share a word with anyone else.
Su Sam-ko was actually the favorite concubine of one of the Hu-hoat Bu-ti-bun, namely Cian-bin-hud. If Cianbin-hud had known about this incident, it seemed that physician Cai's life could not be maintained any longer. It's not that Doctor Cai himself doesn't know the extent of Cianbin-hud's shrewdness. Therefore, he always used the opportunity when Su Sam-ko went to town to buy powder or lipstick. It was then that they held a secret meeting at a local inn.
Cian-bin-hud's feelings are always elusive. Especially when he wanted to kill someone. But under any circumstances, his face is always smiling. I don't know how many people have died of curiosity under his smile. Because of that, many people call it Siau-li-jan-to (a machete is stored in laughter). Of course this designation is only pronounced behind him.
Even though his heart is cruel and his looks are fierce, he is most obedient to women. He never expected that his concubine would betray him. Song Ngo Lin, who had not been there for a long time, could already feel the special relationship between Doctor Cai and Su Sam-ko. But Cian-bin-hud had no idea.
Physician Cai Hua-to must have realized this weakness.
He didn't dare to be reckless either. His actions are always careful.
If it wasn't for Song Ngo Lin who was so thorough, he would not have known about it until now. However, when compared to the sharpness of the ears and the keenness of the eyes of the Faceless Man, Song Ngo Lin still does not appear to the edge of his fingernails.
He gets orders to bribe some Buti-bun members as spies. Not only did he know the relationship between Doctor Cai and Su Sam-ko, he also knew that Song Ngo Lin had smuggled into Bu-ti-bun.
He immediately took action. First of all he caught physician Cai having a meeting with Su Sam-ko at an inn. Under his threats, healer Cai was required to sign an agreement as Siau-yau's spy and monitor Song Ngo Lin's movements. Out of guilt, the two men were forced to sign the agreement. The Faceless Man asked carefully how Song Ngo Lin had gotten into Bu-ti-bun. But he did not tell the origin of the young man in the slightest.
The Faceless Man paid great attention to Song Ngo Lin's way of smuggling into Bu-tibun.
He didn't ask physician Cai anything else, nor did he interfere with Song Ngo Lin's position. He didn't want Song Ngo Lin to know that his movements had been noticed by the Siau-yau- really. But the Faceless Man immediately sent letters via postal pigeon to Siau-yaukok and Wudang-san.
Meanwhile, on Song Ngo Lin's side, he was completely unaware that danger was imminent. On the other hand, Li Cu also started watching Song Ngo Lin.
He was still curious, where had he heard this young man's voice before. Meanwhile, Li Cu's suspicions had been predictable from the start by Song Ngo Lin. But he's taking it easy. His actions were getting more and more cautious. As much as possible he avoided meeting with Li Cu.
And every time he answered Li Cu's questions, he was even more careful.
These past few days, Li Cu's results had not been much. But he didn't just let Song Ngo Lin off. Fortunately, there is not much time either. He is still looking for opportunities to approach Tok Ku Bwee. He also had to accompany the girl to discuss how to break the Jit-sing-kiam-ceng line.
The ones who formed the ranks were of course the Bu-ti-bun students again. They actually feel bored. The Jit-singkiam-ceng line they had formed had never been able to hold off Li Cu and Tok Ku Bwee. Li Cu's Jit-goatlun movement has always been cautious. Whereas Tok Ku Bwee doesn't care much. Every time he always intervened with a bang. Therefore, almost dozens of Bu-ti-bun members are injured every day. Of course
they went to the physician Cai Hua-to's clinic. The healer was at a loss because of the hassle. Fortunately, this kind of wound is not difficult to treat. Fortunately Song Ngo Lin is a smart young man. Study once he immediately understood. Doctor Cai Hua-to was still saving his strength because of Song Ngo Lin's help.
Song Ngo Lin's heart is very good. He had never complained about treating so many people. Anyone who is injured and comes to him, is always treated without discrimination. He did not know that there were several Bu-ti-bun members who were considered lazy by Tok Ku Bwee and were deliberately injured more seriously. And he didn't expect anyone to treat them.
Some of the members of Bu-ti-bun also realized the kindness of Song Ngo Lin. They refused to be treated by him. But Song Ngo Lin didn't care. He insisted on healing their wounds. For him helping people is more important than anything. This did not go unnoticed by Li Cu.
Seeing that, Li Cu was very happy. He quickly reported the incident to Tok Ku Bwee. He was Tok Ku Bwee's playmate since childhood. What is the girl's custom, he understands best. He even hoped that Tok Ku Bwee would be furious to hear of this incident and that one slash of his machete would kill Song Ngo Lin.
He himself also found it strange. Why could he hate Song Ngo Lin so much....?
–––
Hearing the news, it turned out that Tok Ku Bwee was really furious. He immediately went to see Song Ngo Lin. Li Cu who was watching from a distance smiled broadly. But when Tok Ku Bwee turned his body towards him, his face immediately turned serious again.
Tok Ku Bwee's first question, of course, still concerns this problem. "Is it true that Siau Yang is treating those students who don't know they are dead?"
Li Cu quickly nodded his head.
“I've said it from the start…. That brat
not looking at you in the eye."
Tok Ku Bwee snorted coldly. “Sau Yang! Get out of you!” he shouted loudly.
From within, Song Ngo Lin's voice answered, but his words only made Tok Ku Bwee even angrier. "I'm treating our students, I don't have time!"
Tok Ku Bwee stomped his feet in anger. "I order you to roll out right now!" he snapped again.
Song Ngo Lin did not answer. Tok Ku Bwee waited for a moment. Just as he was about to charge in, the door opened. Song Ngo Lin stepped out with a forced look. Tok Ku Bwee rolled his eyes at the young man. Again he snorted.
"Your guts are getting big now!"
Song Ngo Lin's head bowed.
"Follow me!" said Tok Ku Bwee while walking out. Song Ngo Lin was forced to follow from behind.
Seeing this situation, Li Cu was even more happy.
He silently followed from a distance.
–––
After leaving the drugstore yard, Tok Ku Bwee's face still showed anger. Meanwhile, Song Ngo Lin's head remained bowed low. He didn't say a word.
Tok Ku Bwee stretched out his hand to pick a flower. Then he threw it on the ground. Finally he opened his voice, “In Bu-ti-bun, no one has ever dared to disobey my orders. You are the first person."
Song Ngo Lin's head hung lower and lower. He didn't even dare to glance at the girl. Not sure if it's real or just pretending.
"I'm the one who brought you in to become a Bu-ti-bun member. Now you are even openly disobeying my orders," said Tok Ku Bwee again.
"I saw them in pain half to death, so it didn't come to the heart...." Song Ngo Lin's voice was more like a whisper.
“They are in pain, what does that have to do with you? It's not you who's in pain after all!”
"I understand. They are in pain but cannot be treated. This is because you think that they did not exert all their abilities in forming ranks," said Song Ngo Lin, starting to get bold.
"It's good that you understand!" Tok Ku Bwee stopped his footsteps.
“Let me be considered impudent. But think about it, if they did their best and unknowingly injured you, they would definitely accept death. Whereas you just feel that they didn't give their all, already wishing for their death...”
“Those people are all rice bags. Death is also nothing to be regretted!”
"Very wrong. If it weren't for them, today's Bu-ti-bun would not be as great as this. After all, you are so cruel. Just a little bit has been playing kill. Who dares to approach you? If one day you are in danger, who will help you? Maybe they even let you die at the hands of the enemy!”
Tok Ku Bwee laughed coldly. "This is one of Bu-ti-bun's rules, whoever takes an order and then doesn't obey it, then...."
“Regulations are only man-made, why can't they be changed? Let me how I will still treat them. At best, after treating them, you will slash me with your machete," said Song Ngo Lin firmly.
“You...” Tok Ku Bwee's eyes widened with anger
to Song Ngo Lin.
"I help them actually not a specific purpose. All of this is for your own good too,” said Song Ngo Lin back.
"What else are you babbling about?"
“They have been following you for a long time. If only they had a grudge in their hearts…. An easy enemy
faced, the fear is that the enemy is backing up from behind.”
"You think they're brave?"
“Ants just fight when stepped on, let alone humans. Maybe in front of you they don't dare to take any action. But if you run into danger, he will watch you die with no intention of helping.”
"I don't need their help either!"
“After all, this action of mine only benefits you and has absolutely nothing to lose. I'm just watching you ....” Song Ngo Lin looked at the girl then took a deep breath.
"Why do you have to watch me?" asked Tok Ku Bwee surprised.
"I don't understand myself." In fact, Song Ngo Lin did not understand.
Tok Ku Bwee was silent pensively. Song Ngo Lin stared at him for a long time.
"There are more. At this rate, healer Cai Hua-to and I will suffocate to death. If we were sleep deprived and gave the wrong medicine, then surely human lives would be lost. Of course, Doctor Cai's good name can no longer be maintained.”
Unable to hold back any longer, Tok Ku Bwee chuckled.
"Consider your mouth good at talking. But you have to be careful. One day, maybe I'll hurt you. At that time I wanted to see how you treat yourself.”
Finished saying, he immediately turned his body to leave the place. Song Ngo Lin stared at him until he disappeared into the distance. He was still stunned in that place. Over there, Li Cu seemed to not believe his eyes. It turned out that not only did Tok Ku Bwee not kill Song Ngo Lin, in fact before he left he was chuckling. No matter how stupid he was, he could immediately guess that Tok Ku Bwee's impression of Song Ngo Lin was deep.
Li Cu remained frozen in place for a while. His eyes flashed a cold and frightening light. Finally he stepped on his feet. It seemed that person already had a certain plan. Song Ngo Lin was completely oblivious to his presence.
–––
When he returned to the drugstore, Bu-ti-bun's men were already waiting for him there. Seeing him go inside, that person immediately shouted, “Quickly check me out!”
He raised his sleeves. His hands are very strong. Song Ngo Lin took a glance. He found no injuries or disease. Maybe he wasn't careful enough, he thought to himself. Hence, he checked once more carefully.
“What exactly are you doing? My hand was hit several times. It just felt like his veins were about to break. You still haven't said anything since earlier!" shouted the man back.
Song Ngo Lin immediately held the person's arm. But that person immediately screamed as if in pain. “Your energy is so strong, are you deliberately trying to cripple me? Have you never heard of who Cao Pao is?”
Even though Song Ngo Lin only touched him. Absolutely no use of force. He was stunned to hear the curse.
"I want your life!" shouted Cao Pao loudly.
The hand that he thought was almost deformed suddenly twisted. A machete was already clutched in his hand.
He lunged forward and intended to slash at the youth. The hand moved nimbly, not at all like a hand in pain. Song Ngo Lin is a smart person. He immediately understood what that person meant.
He quickly grabbed his head with a pair of hands and ran away screaming.
The way he dodged was really like someone who was at a loss. Sometimes he even rolled on the ground.
He was out of breath. With great difficulty, he finally managed to avoid thirty-six attacks by Cao Pao's machete.
Cao Pao's machete continued to chase Song Ngo Lin. It seemed that the rough man didn't want to just let Song Ngo Lin go. His machete swept left and right. While running Song Ngo Lin screamed. In a moment he was screaming for help, in a moment he was screaming for mercy and then asked Cao Pao to stop his attack. He fell and crawled up several times. The situation is really sad. Her clothes are all dirty. He ran towards the back garden.
From between the artificial mountains scattered all over the garden, a shadow suddenly flashed. Li Cu appeared there. His eyes stared fixedly at Song Ngo Lin.
His face implied curiosity. From the movements of Song Ngo Lin who fell helter-skelter like that, he didn't look like someone who understood martial arts. Finally he decided to test it himself. His body shot up into the air. A flying saber slid towards Song Ngo Lin's right chest. At that time, Song Ngo Lin was stepping backwards in an unsteady manner. Still ups and downs like before. It seemed that the flying saber was about to hit him in an instant, but he suddenly shifted his body like a stagger, the flying saber also shot to hit his right shoulder.
The body hit by the machete fell to the ground. Cao Pao even stopped his movements in a stupefied manner. His heart was so panic. Who knows that Song Ngo Lin crawled up suddenly. Meanwhile, the flying machete was left on the ground.
Li Cu was already hot and cold. By injuring Song Ngo Lin, he didn't know how to explain to Tok Ku Bwee. When he saw the youngster crawling up, he too was stunned. Meanwhile Cao Pao's machete had moved again to attack the young man. Song Ngo Lin turned his body. He seemed so frightened that he was in a frenzy. Song Ngo Lin's knowledge on this one doesn't need to be doubted. Back in Wudang-san, he was often the butt of his Suhengs. After all, for so many years they did not know that Song Ngo Lin understood martial arts. Like now, his movements are more like those of a drunk than playing silat. Several times he seemed to stumble and fall but a moment later he was able to crawl up and run again.
Cao Pao was getting more and more curious. His nature is hot. Several times he was sure he could hit Song Ngo Lin, but when he got close he always missed again. He kept on chasing. After going through two jumps, he finally managed to reach behind the young man's back. It seemed that this time Song Ngo Lin would no longer be able to dodge. He grasped the opportunity fine. There was his angry roar and his saber slashed forward.
"Pliers!"
Another machete parried Cao Pao's machete. The parrying machete is flat and curved. Seeing this saber, Cao Pao's heart immediately shrank. The machete appears, the person must be there. It turned out to be Tok Ku Bwee. Before he even opened his mouth, Cao Pao had already fallen to his knees before him.
“Toasiocia...”
Tok Ku Bwee's face looked dark. "What are you doing?" he snapped loudly.
Song Ngo Lin quickly retorted. “I don't know what demon this person is possessed, no rain and no wind, suddenly wants to kill me. He chased me with that sharp saber from the drugstore to here.”
Tok Ku Bwee was stunned. His eyes stared at Cao Pao sharply.
“Oh? You look like a spy,” he said sarcastically.
Cao Pao was very surprised. He hit his head a few times on the ground.
“My goodness, Toasiocia. I'm not a spy. This incident has nothing to do with me!” he stammered.
It seemed that he still wanted to continue his words. Suddenly Li Cu who came out from the side had already shouted at him, "Shut up!"
Seeing Li Cu's arrival, Cao Pao's eyes immediately lit up. “Xie-tongchu, you...”
"I told you to shut up!" snapped Li Cu coldly.
Tok Ku Bwee's eyes flickered briefly. "Suheng, actually what happened?"
“This kid just had too much wine. He's a bit drunk so he can't control himself,” said Li Cu.
"Where is he ma…." said Song Ngo Lin.
“There is no place here for you to talk!” Li Cu snapped before Song Ngo Lin could continue his words.
Song Ngo Lin didn't dare to say anything else. Tok Ku Bwee did not know the real problem. He glared at Li Cu. “Suheng, why are you spoiling minions so much? Let them drink and then act nonsense. According to our school regulations…..”
“Once back at headquarters I will severely punish him.” He immediately grabbed Cao Pao by the neck of his shirt.
“Toasuheng, don't… don't….!” shouted Cao Pao frantically.
“You still dare to talk so much. I will cut your tongue first!” he said nothing more. He pulled Cao Pao away from that place.
Tok Ku Bwee also immediately approached Song Ngo Lin and guided him to get up. Seeing the girl's attention, Song Ngo Lin was momentarily stunned. “Thanks for the help Toasiocia...”
Tok Ku Bwee laughed coldly. "I just felt sorry." He let go of his hand.
Song Ngo Lin was more and more stunned. "Regret?"
"Didn't I say that one day when you get hurt, I want to see how you treat yourself?"
Song Ngo Lin laughed bitterly.
"I see, you can too!"
Once again Song Ngo Lin laughed bitterly. "Is it okay?
Can't you see how I was chased to the point of loss?"
Tok Ku Bwee's mind immediately moved. “Tia once said that she would accept you as a disciple. When I get back I'll ask when it's time. If you already know martial arts, of course you won't be afraid of being insulted by anyone anymore,” he said, looking closely at Song Ngo Lin.
Song Ngo Lin could only nod his head. Tokku Hong drove him to the drugstore. Coincidentally, Goat Ngo, the mysterious lady-in-waiting, was there. Tok Ku Bwee immediately pulled him aside. Don't know what they were talking about. After Goat Ngo left, it turned out that Tok Ku Bwee's tears were flowing profusely.
Seeing this situation, Song Ngo Lin was very surprised. What is the nature of Tok Ku Bwee, he has begun to understand. She's not the whiny type of girl. Meanwhile, this was the first time he had seen Tok Ku Bwee shed tears in such a sad state.
Tok Ku Bwee watched Goat Ngo's departure while standing in a daze. Finally he wiped the tears that wet his cheeks. Song Ngo Lin quickly approached and asked probingly, "Toasiocia, did Goat Ngo make you angry?"
"Where is there such a thing?" said Tok Ku Bwee unconsciously.
“Eh?” Song Ngo Lin still continued. “He's the strangest guest. Her position was only that of a maid, but to the extent that physician Cai was also a bit afraid and reticent towards her. Any medicine he asked for was always fulfilled. Physician Cai doesn't dare to ask too many questions, nor has he ever listed the names of patients who ordered him to buy medicine.”
Tok Ku Bwee snorted coldly. "What do you know?" “Then Siocia must be clearer than me.”
