Chapter 49: On The Eve Of Death

"Give her life back? How?" Zhang Guozhong frowned, wondering what Dai Jinshuang had come up with. Could it be that he really believed the legend that Shuang Huaizi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty became an immortal by refining elixir with the gallbladder of a dragon?

"Shuang Huaizi from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, you know this person, right?" Dai Jinshuang smiled slightly and mentioned Shuang Huaizi as expected.

"You…want Liang Xiaolan to become an immortal? Or, you ate…that thing, and that's why you became like this?" Zhang Guozhong frowned and said, "That thing is highly poisonous. My master…Ma Chunyi, died after being bitten by that thing. Do you dare to eat the pills made from that thing?"

"Humph! You are so ignorant!" Dai Jinshuang snorted coldly, "Although Qiu Chi is a cultivator, he is also a living creature! A living creature has physiological characteristics just like other things! How can you be the headmaster if you don't know such a simple truth?"

"I'd like to hear your advice, senior brother!" Zhang Guozhong said. He really wanted to know what Dai Jinshuang wanted to do.

"To fight poison with poison, you must use poisonous substances, but they must be used to treat the disease! If it is simply poisonous, I might as well get a bottle of pesticide!" Dai Jinshuang said coldly, "The poison of the Qiongqi is naturally fatal, but its most poisonous parts are its fangs and venom glands, and I use snake gall! Compared with the venom glands, the poison of snake gall is much less toxic!"

"Yes!" Zhang Guozhong also suddenly realized that normal people seem to have some misunderstandings, thinking that snake venom is stored in the snake gallbladder. Especially after being induced by martial arts TV series like "The Return of the Condor Heroes", seeing Yang Guo rolling on the ground after eating the snake gallbladder, they think that the snake gallbladder is highly poisonous. In fact, the snake's venom is secreted by the venom gland and has basically nothing to do with the snake gallbladder…

"The gallbladder of normal venomous snakes can be used as medicine, but the Qilin is not an ordinary beast. Its gallbladder is also highly poisonous. Most people will not survive if they eat it…" said Dai Jinshuang.

"Then why do you still use that thing to make pills?" After hearing what Dai Jinshuang said, Zhang Guozhong was confused again…

"I'm refining oil!" Dai Jinshuang said, "There are some useful things in the gallbladder of the Qiuqi, but there are more deadly things. If it is used on living people, those deadly things must be filtered out!" Rubbing his temple, Dai Jinshuang began to narrate the incident between him and Liang Xiaolan…

Dai Jinshuang originally introduced Liang Xiaolan to the Liao family because he couldn't bear to see her being beaten in the brothel again. However, he didn't have much money, so he couldn't afford to redeem her. Even if he could redeem her, she was a weak woman who didn't have any skills to make a living, so it would be troublesome for her to leave the brothel. Therefore, he had no choice but to trick her into giving her to Liao Kezhou.

From today's perspective, Liang Xiaolan was basically a widow after marrying into the Liao family. At that time, Liao Kezhou was already in his sixties. Even if she was still able to do things after going to bed at night, it would be good if she could do it once a month. But the family had a wife and two concubines, and the concubines were not very old. Liang Xiaolan would never get this precious opportunity once a month. It would be a great honor to get a chance once every six months. In addition, Liao Kezhou knew that Liang Xiaolan was a prostitute, so he kept a close eye on her, fearing that someone would cheat on him. A personal nanny and a personal maid were specially arranged for Liang Xiaolan, in the name of serving, but in fact it was surveillance. In addition to giving a little face to Dai Jinshuang and Liu Zhenyu, the benefactors, so that Liang Xiaolan could have a private conversation with the two men alone or even go out, whenever there was a young man who had frequent contact with Liang Xiaolan, the two villains would directly report to the master. After marrying into the Liao family, although Liang Xiaolan lived a life of food and clothes and money flowing like water, she was not happy.

In fact, Liang Xiaolan and Liao Kezhou really had no feelings for each other. The age difference between them was two generations, and they had nothing in common. After three years of marriage, he kept asking for money and said less than three sentences at most. Although she wanted to vomit when she saw Liao Kezhou, Liang Xiaolan always had a sense of gratitude towards Dai Jinshuang. She also knew that Dai Jinshuang was interested in her. She once expressed to Dai Jinshuang that she wanted to steal some money from the Liao family and then elope. But Dai Jinshuang refused. First, Dai Jinshuang was more or less Ma Sijia's apprentice and believed that people should be upright and honest. He could not bear the title of adulterer. Second, Dai Jinshuang had some self-knowledge. Although the actual age difference between him and Liang Xiaolan was not very big, he had already lost a lot of life. From the outside, he looked like an old man. How could he let a married woman suffer with him?

Seeing that Dai Jinshuang rejected her, Liang Xiaolan could only maintain this tacit relationship with him. However, if Dai Jinshuang needed her help with something, Liang Xiaolan would never hesitate. The more Liang Xiaolan did this, the more Dai Jinshuang felt guilty. After all, he did not tell the other person that he had changed his life span, and he felt guilty. But the more guilty he felt, the more emergencies he had to ask Liang Xiaolan for help. As a result, Dai Jinshuang felt that he would be treated like a slave in his next life.

After Liao Kezhou passed away, Liang Xiaolan moved directly to the UK. Although Liao Kezhou's will did not leave her anything, she was the concubine of the Liao family after all, so there was no problem for her to continue living a rich life. This included when Dai Jinshuang went to Japan to bribe the police inspector, and traveled around the world to find Wang Sizhao's whereabouts. In some countries, he even needed to hire local underworld forces to investigate, and all the money was spent by Liang Xiaolan, no less than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.

"Where did she get so much money?" Zhang Guozhong was also a little puzzled. From Dai Jinshuang's tone, it seemed that Liang Xiaolan was quite fierce. Since her relationship with the Liao family was almost dead after Liao Kezhou's death, it was unlikely that she would ask Liao Qi or Liao Gang for money…

"I know how you did it…" At this point, Zhang Guozhong had a rough idea in his mind. The cultural relic thief that his relative Liu Dongsheng mentioned must be the senior brother Dai Zhenyun in front of him.

"At first, my goal was nothing but money! Xiaolan had no feelings for the Liao family, and she was always bullied by the Liao family before. She would rather die than ask for money from the Liao family. I didn't even tell them that I was sick…" At this point, Dai Jinshuang's tone seemed a little bleak, "At that time, the only person she could count on was me. What could I do? Watch her die?" Dai Jinshuang sighed to the sky, "What a rich and noble life, what a rich and noble life, in the end, I am the only thing that is neither human nor ghost left to accompany her?"

When Liang Xiaolan was seriously ill, Dai Jinshuang was overwhelmed with emotions. He hated himself for wasting too much money in revenge, and hated himself for not being able to make money. He couldn't even pay for Liang Xiaolan's medical expenses. At this time, a foreign lawyer suddenly found Dai Jinshuang and said that Liang Xiaolan knew her condition and had already said that she would refuse surgery. She also made a will and left her house, antiques, jewelry and other regrets in the UK to Dai Jinshuang. Because the inheritance tax in the UK is very high, the lawyer also suggested that Dai Jinshuang sell the antiques and jewelry to pay the tax, so that he could still leave a house and a considerable amount of cash.

At this moment, Dai Jinshuang's mood can be imagined. He rushed to the hospital without saying a word, hugged Liang Xiaolan and started crying. Liang Xiaolan also wanted to hug Dai Jinshuang at this time, but she had no strength left. She just said that she hoped that after her death, Dai Jinshuang could use the money to live out his life and not seek revenge again. At this moment, what reason did Dai Jinshuang have to refuse Liang Xiaolan?

Speaking of this, even Zhang Guozhong couldn't help but feel a little sour on the tip of his nose. At first, I thought Dai Jinshuang stole cultural relics from Chinese tombs and sold them in order to live a life of luxury with his mistress. I didn't expect that Liang Xiaolan, the concubine of the Liao family, would have such a miserable life. Alas, what a pair of crying mandarin ducks…

"I don't want to think about revenge or the Taoist temple anymore…" Dai Jinshuang said gloomily and helplessly, "Xiao Lan loved me so much that she even left me money before she died. But I failed her. Do you think I am still a human being?"

Dai Jinshuang was not a greedy person. How could he covet Liang Xiaolan's inheritance at this time? Since Liang Xiaolan refused the operation, Dai Jinshuang simply dismissed all the servants in Liang Xiaolan's house, sold the house and all the jewelry and antiques, and then arranged Liang Xiaolan in the aristocratic ward specially for the British royal family and aristocrats. Not only did he let Dr. Yang use the best equipment and the best medicine, he also used Chinese medicine acupuncture, decoctions and other means to cooperate with Western medicine for treatment, and specially ordered the best Korean ginseng from South Korea. (Because China had not yet reformed and opened up at that time, it could only order medicinal materials from South Korea and Japan.) The money spent every day was like running water. It was not known whether it was Chinese medicine or Western medicine that worked. Liang Xiaolan's condition miraculously improved under this "combination of Chinese and Western medicine" treatment. Not only did she break through the eight-month deadline given by the doctor, she also recovered to the point where she could go out, and even showed signs of recovery. According to Western medicine examinations, the spread of cancer cells seemed to be suppressed. Even those experts from the Royal Medical College, who had always been arrogant, had to call it a miracle, and regarded Chinese medicine as a heavenly art, and praised it. There were even a few elderly experts who had the idea of ​​learning Chinese medicine from scratch, but gave up due to language and cultural barriers.

"It's not a good idea to spend money like this all the time…" Dai Jinshuang said, "After living in the aristocratic ward of the hospital for more than two years, Xiaolan's condition has been brought under control, but my bank deposits have bottomed out again. I have more money going out than coming in every day. I started to worry. I have to stay with Xiaolan to take care of her, and I can't go out to make money. Besides, the British only believe in God and not Feng Shui, and my skills won't work there… I once thought about asking Song Shiliang for help in raising money, but later I found out that he had passed away before me. The worst thing is…" Dai Jinshuang sighed, "The worst thing is that my life is coming to an end…"

The life span Dai Jinshuang lost during the Anti-Japanese War began to show up when Liang Xiaolan's condition just started to improve. Just when Dai Jinshuang was considering whether to secretly ask the Liao family for help without Liang Xiaolan's knowledge, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of black blood, disrupting all his plans.

"My life span was 115, but now I have less than 60 left…" Dai Jinshuang smiled slightly, "I forgot about it in my busy life. I even forgot that I had shortened my life span… I calculated with my fingers and asked for money . I still have half a year to live… I don't care about death, but I have to send Xiaolan off in a dignified way anyway…"
