I Didn’t Tell Her To Save Me!

He…he was alive!

He had been revived!

After getting his face blown at, then fed a black pill, then got chive juice poured down his nose…

A man who had stopped breathing, a man who had been confirmed dead by everyone, had come back to life in front of everyone’s eyes!

All of them had wide eyes as they stared at Mao San, who was coughing his lungs out, then at the calm, smiling, gentle young mistress, Song Caitang.

This young woman had turned out to be a genius doctor!

There was a little green chive juice on her sleeve and some perspiration on her forehead, but nobody thought she looked ugly or a mess. They were so proud of her!

“Genius doctor…”

“She’s a genius doctor!!”

Song Caitang raised her hand to quieten the crowd when she heard what they were yelling, “I’m sorry, everyone, but I’m not a genius doctor. What happened today was merely a coincidence.”

“Of course, you’re a genius doctor!”

“You brought him back from the dead! If you’re not a genius doctor, what else could you be?”

Song Caitang laughed, “I’m really not a doctor, and nobody in my family is one either. I’ve not learned medicine from anybody, so I really can’t diagnose or heal…”

Everyone got really excited and surrounded Song Caitang quickly.

Even Qingqiao couldn’t squeeze her way in. She stood on the outside of the crowd and looked a little confused.

Wasn’t her Young Mistress only able to conclude the cause of death by looking at a dead body? Why was she also a genius doctor now?

As the maid of a “genius doctor”, everyone was very kind to her as well. When they saw her just standing there, they thought she had been frightened by what happened. Some older ladies came to comfort her, “Young lady, it’s alright. You don’t have to be afraid. Look! He’s come back to life!”

Huamei noticed what the people were doing and wished she was the one standing there and receiving all this affection.

Why were her legs so weak just now? Why wasn’t she able to bring herself to go there earlier?

If Cousin Young Mistress was really a genius doctor, then…

Her bright, black eyes darted rapidly as an idea struck her. Nobody had any idea what she could be thinking about.

Meanwhile, the blacksmith’s wife had dragged her husband out of the shop. Boss Li and his wife were still sitting weakly on the ground, so she helped to pull them to their feet, “Why are you still sitting here in shock? Mao San isn’t dead! Why are you still so scared?”

Her voice wasn’t very loud and was lost in the noise of the crowd. Only those next to her could hear her.

She pinched Mrs. Li’s hand and glared at her.

Mrs. Li blinked in shock for a while, “You’re…you’re right. He’s…he’s not dead. He’s alive! Yes, he’s alive! I told you my husband didn’t kill anybody! It’s that Mao San! He was trying to extort money from my husband!”

As she spoke, energy returned to her, and her eyes shone brighter and brighter.

Inside the horse carriage, the middle-aged woman cupped her mouth in shock, “Old Madam, that man…that man’s alive! He’s really alive!”

“I never imagined that Miss Song would be capable of something like this as well!”

“Indeed.” The older woman continued to rotate the prayer beads in her hand. The look in her eyes grew more and more resolute.

While everyone was still excited and exclaiming, Mao San was finally done coughing. He clutched his chest and stood up.

When he was lying on the ground, he just looked dirty and smelled nasty. But once he started moving and his eyes were opened…his movements were like those of a hooligan. His eyes were triangular in shape, and he looked at everyone from the corner of his eyes. His gaze was also rather aggressive.

He was a hooligan, so even though he didn’t quite know what was going on, he was afraid. All this talk about a genius doctor happening around him definitely had nothing to do with him.

But he had lost consciousness for a while earlier, and he had been just left to lie there.

Not only had he been left where he had fallen, but someone had actually poured some stinky liquid down his nose that had nearly choked him to death!

He was someone who had gone through all sorts of things in life before, but he had never been treated so poorly before!

He immediately walked to a shop, picked up a ceramic container, and smashed it hard onto the ground, “Fuck! Who the hell poured that smelly shit down my nose earlier?”

Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared in horror at him.

It was fine to be an unemployed, shameless hooligan as long as you didn’t commit any major crimes like murder and arson. Everyone would still assume you had some basic decency and wouldn’t try to kill you. But what was this asshole saying now? He was actually cursing away! Cursing away at his benefactor?

Wasn’t he afraid of retribution?

Mao San narrowed his eyes, “Not gonna tell me? And you think I wouldn’t know who did it if all of you just kept your mouths shut?”

He randomly reached into the crowd and dragged an old man out of it. He used his other hand to pick up another ceramic container and looked like he was going to smash it on the old man’s head.

“I did it!” Song Caitang marched out from within the crowd. Her brows were furrowed, and her gaze was frosty, “Let go of that gentleman.”

Mao San’s eyes instantly lit up. He let go of the old man, stroked his chin, and cackled, “My, my, it’s a young lady?”

He grinned to reveal his yellow teeth that still had some vegetables stuck in between. A lecherous look filled his eyes as he walked toward Song Caitang with large steps.

Qingqiao quickly ran in front of her and spread her arms out to protect her Young Mistress.

“What do you want! I did it! I’m the one who poured the chive juice down your nose! But that was to save you!”

The girl’s back was trembling, and her voice was shrill. She was clearly very afraid.

But no matter how afraid she was, she stood in front of Song Caitang without hesitation and stood firmly with her feet flat on the ground.

“Oh my, another young lady?” Mao San raised an eyebrow and reached out to touch Qingqiao’s face, “Just nice, we could do a threesome…”

Qingqiao wasn’t going to let him touch her like that. In order to save him, she had touched him and only felt that he was really stinky but didn’t think otherwise. Now, she felt that he was downright disgusting, and that hand coming her way made her want to puke!

She reached out to slap his hand away.

But her hand never touched his.

The people along the street had some sense of justice. When they saw that Mao San was not only ungrateful but was actually preying on the two women, they couldn’t stand it. A few men came forward to hit his hand away and pull him away from the women.

An older lady came to console Song Caitang and her maid, “Girls, don’t be afraid! He’s the only hooligan in this whole street, and the rest of the people are good people! We promise we won’t let him bully you two at all! Don’t worry! Don’t be scared!”

“Let go of me! Fuck you! Fuck your entire family! Let go of me!” Mao San struggled like crazy.

The men worked together to hold him back and tried talking some sense into him, “You died just now, and that young lady is the one who saved your life!”

“If she hadn’t done all that, you wouldn’t have come back from the gates of hell! You wouldn’t have all this energy to scold and curse at her!”

“So what if you choked on the chive juice? At least you’re not dead!”

Mao San refused to listen to them, “Fuck! Did I tell her to save me?! I didn’t!”

The men were not a particularly patient lot. When they saw that it was pointless trying to talk to Mao San, they started beating him up. If they didn’t, Mao San would beat them up anyway…

Pak! Pak! Mao San immediately received several slaps in the face and kicks in the butt, which really hurt.

He seethed in pain as he breathed heavily while his eyes darted about.

Mao San was a hooligan, but he was a simple-minded fool.

He could tell that these people were very protective of the two young ladies. If he tried to fight the people here, he might not live to see tomorrow.

And if that was the case, then…forget it.

He looked toward the two ladies, reluctant to leave just like that. He didn’t catch a glimpse of Song Caitang’s pretty face, but he caught a glimpse of Qingqiao’s round face.

She wasn’t too bad, either. Her chubby cheeks made her look very adorable.

Since he couldn’t get them this time, he’d try again next time. He’d remember their faces and get them when nobody was around!

That young mistress had an emotionless expression on her face and looked like there was frost buried in her brows. The way she stared down at him nearly made him swoon. He wished he could tear her clothes open right now and see what was inside!

He licked his lips, then looked in the other direction and smiled sinisterly.

This side didn’t work out, but there was still the other side!

“Fine! Like you said, she caused me some discomfort, but she saved my life, so as a man, I won’t quibble with a woman over this!”

He pushed the men holding him down aside, then pointed at Boss Li, “But he hit me and pushed me! Surely I’m allowed to demand compensation for that, right?”

Mrs. Li immediately flew into a rage. Before anyone could say anything, she spat loudly and shouted, “I can’t believe someone like you exists! You bully others all the time, and now, you’re complaining that you were bullied?!”

“Those are two different things,” said Mao San with a wicked grin, “If I did something wrong, you could have settled it outright with me. But you felt bad, and you couldn’t bear to see me suffer, so you didn’t want to settle it. What can I do?”

He winked flirtatiously at Mrs. Li as he spoke, as though he was trying to say that he was having an affair with her or something.

Mrs. Li was so disgusted she spat loudly again.

This time, before she could speak, Mao San spoke up first, “In the same way, your husband has done something wrong, so I have the right to settle things with him.”

“Seriously, Boss Li…” Mao San scowled and suddenly raised his voice, “Do you have any balls at all? Do you only know how to hide under your wife’s skirt and cry?!”

“You beat me up, and now I’m injured all over! Surely you ought to pay for my medical bills, right?”

“No, wait.” Mao San touched his chest, “You also caused me to hit the corner of this cart and collapse. I look well and alive now, but I don’t know how badly injured I could be on the inside, and I might suddenly die in a few days…”

“Give me your shop and house as compensation! I won’t ask for your wife and children, you can keep them. If you do that, we’re even!”

Mrs. Li was so angry, she was shaking all over, “Who in the world is as unreasonable as you are?! You tried to extort us, but my husband refused to give you any money, and he did hit you a couple of times, but how could he have caused you severe injury? Look at how much bigger you are! Did you think my husband could have thrashed you?!”

“As for hitting that cart…you deserved it for pretending to be badly hurt! You were the one who exaggeratedly spun a few times and hit it yourself! You can’t blame someone else for that!”

But Mao San merely snorted.

“I’ve lied to people before, but not today!”

He took off his shirt to reveal the terrible bruises on his arms, shoulder, and back. It was obvious that someone must have beaten him up and used a lot of strength to do so too!

Song Caitang raised an eyebrow. There was a very unhappy, nasty gleam in her eyes.

Qingqiao noticed the look in her eyes. Her Young Mistress seemed to know something!
