Chapter 455: Encountering a series of pitfalls
This year's trip to the hot spring resort has two new members.
Fang Jun looked unassuming, but he turned out to be a wealthy young man. He offered to go along and broaden his horizons.
Zhao Xun couldn't resist Tiezhu's constant nagging and was forcibly taken away.
Zhao Xun had to put his work aside temporarily to experience the corrupt and decadent life of luxury.
Years ago, Tiezhu made a lot of money from the Xu and Tie families.
During the New Year ancestor worship, the elders whom he had never met before also gave him gifts.
Tiezhu was so arrogant that he even wanted to make a fortune from the Xu family.
Su Shien warned Tiezhu that Wuxing Marquis's Mansion was not a good place, and that once he showed up, the marriage would be out of his control.
The timid Tiezhu immediately backed out. He didn't want to follow in his second uncle's footsteps.
At night, red lanterns light up in the villa. Although it is a man-made bridge and flowing water, it has a unique scenery.
As expected, Su Shien "coincidentally" met Gu Chengyi at the hot spring villa. The two exchanged a few words and talked about the overseas assignment.
Han Zeyu ran to the Colosseum to experience the most primitive competition and fighting.
As a senior who successfully passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, Su Yunsong got along very well with Fang Jun.
The group of six people acted separately, and Tiezhu was ready to develop a relationship with Zhao Xun.
They used to be too familiar with each other. Sometimes they called each other brothers, and sometimes they disliked each other. They even disliked each other because of competing for the position of the number one younger brother.
Today their relationship has changed dramatically, but they still maintain the level of brothers.
Zhao Xun disliked Tiezhu. Brother Su was right. Tiezhu was much scarier than Dengtu Zi.
In this era, blind marriages are the norm.
Ordinary people don’t have so many requirements, but the children of officials will have some contact with each other after they get engaged.
Even if there is a piece of written document, it is mostly based on emotion and ends with courtesy.
Tiezhu has been following Han Zeyu for a long time and was led astray by him.
Tiezhu also wanted to hold her hand secretly, which scared Zhao Xun so much that he ran away.
Tiezhu kept chasing her and asked her in a particularly impolite manner why she was blushing.
Zhao Xun was so angry that he laughed. Whoever's face was shone by the red lantern would turn red.
Especially with their skin color, it looks even darker and redder.
Tiezhu was not right but he was confident and argued with Zhao Xun: "My master said that black and red are still red. You are just shy."
Zhao Xun was furious. This guy was too shameless.
The two of them walked up the small bridge, playing and joking, attracting the attention of others.
Everyone thought it was just two brothers joking around, and no one paid much attention to it.
The people coming and going were all young people, so Tiezhu didn't pay much attention to it. But when he stepped back, he seemed to have bumped into something soft.
"Ah~"
All I could hear was a woman shouting in panic.
Then there was a "splash" sound and someone fell into the water.
Tiezhu looked down and saw that there was indeed a woman in pink floating on the water.
His first reaction was that this person was really particular, even wearing clothes while taking a hot spring bath.
The next moment, he was pushed hard by someone.
"What are you still standing there for? You pushed someone into the water, why don't you save them?"
"Help! I can't swim!"
The woman's cries and the man's accusations instantly pushed Tiezhu to the forefront.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the tall and strong iron pillar, but no one paid any attention to the woman in pink who was struggling in the hot spring water.
The room rates at the hot spring resort are already ridiculously expensive, and during the Chinese New Year period, reservations must be made a month in advance.
Those who can afford to spend a lot of money to stay here are either rich or noble.
They have seen too many cases of bravely saving women who fell into the water.
Therefore, the first thing to consider is whether you will get into trouble, followed by your own safety, and then the life and death of the person who fell into the water.
Call them selfish or indifferent, but this is their way of survival.
Tiezhu glanced at the man who pushed him, and the man was so scared that he opened his mouth but forgot to shout loudly.
Tiezhu was about to jump into the water to save people, but was stopped by Zhao Xun.
He was not called "Black Stripe in the Waves" for nothing. Back in Yunshan Village, he earned his first pot of gold from Brother Han thanks to his superb swimming skills.
Zhao Xun kicked off his shoes, dived into the water, swam quickly to the woman, and reached out to pull her.
After clearly feeling the other party's resistance, Zhao Xun did not hesitate to knock the man unconscious with a knife, and then successfully rescued him to shore.
Tiezhu met Zhao Xun on the shore, but he did not reach out his hand the whole time, as he was determined to ensure the innocence of the woman in pink.
The man who had just pushed the iron pillar had a dark look in his eyes. He didn't know whether the other party was too cautious or they had revealed their true identity.
Unlike his previous eagerness, the man did not bother to argue with the girl in pink after she woke up slowly. He just carried her away on his back.
Tiezhu was inspired and without hesitation he carried Zhao Xun on his back and rushed back to the courtyard, fearing that Zhao Xun would catch a cold.
"Run slower, put me down!"
"You just risked your life to save my reputation. I'm so touched. I absolutely cannot let you get sick."
Tiezhu ran so fast that Zhao Xun on his back was thrown off balance.
Hearing someone's self-touching words again, Zhao Xun felt even more nauseous.
Tiezhu, you have changed. You have become so greasy just after turning 20.
Tomorrow he will go to Dingyun Temple to pray and ask the Buddha to bless you and turn you back into the fool who only cares about eating and drinking.
The next day, the man came with his sister to give a thank you gift.
Although he said it in the name of thanking Zhao Xun, his words were hinting to Tiezhu that there was a reason why his sister fell into the water.
Tiezhu blinked and thought to himself that this elder brother still didn't understand him well enough and that he was not a responsible person.
Seeing that Tiezhu refused to accept the challenge, the brother and sister had no choice but to leave in embarrassment.
Zhao Xun accepted the thank-you gift, which was the result of his hard work. Brother Han once said that it is not shameful to make money.
The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, Tiezhu's vacation is destined to be full of turmoil.
He said that he was a talented young man who shared the same ideals as him and wanted to make friends with him.
He said that she looked kind and wanted to talk to him about the beautiful sister of romance.
There are also young businessmen who say that he is extremely lucky and invite him to experience the joy of "a little gambling" together.
The most infuriating thing is using money as bait to test Tiezhu's humanity.
Tiezhu was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet. He had no humanity at all. He just wanted to be greedy. Returning lost property was inconsistent with his personality.
After three days of seeing the joke, the couple finally felt guilty and announced that they would return in the afternoon.
Tiezhu breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhao Xun also felt relieved. If he didn't leave, he would become Tiezhu's shield and servant.
Han Zeyu was gloating and said that Tiezhu should not be allowed to return to his ancestral home, as that would cause endless trouble.
It’s a pity that Tiezhu, who was driven crazy by poverty, was blinded by money and numbed his nerves, so he gave in in a fit of anger.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Tiezhu did not say anything final and always stuck to his amnesiac character.
But what does the other party mean by this? What result does he want to achieve?
Do you want to verify Tiezhu's character, or do you want to play the long game and catch a big fish?
It was worth it that they took Tiezhu away when they split up. I didn’t expect Tiehanhan to be so valuable and charming.
