Chapter 307 Colosseum
After finishing their meal, Qiqi and his companions set off on their journey. On the way, they encountered an old man in tattered clothes lying on the ground. Qiqi went over to check on him and saw that he had fainted from hunger.
She quickly took out a pancake and a bottle of water. Zhou Jingze first fed the old man the water. The old man woke up, but was very weak. Zhou Jingze handed him the pancake, and the old man took it and finished it in a few bites. Qiqi took out two more pancakes and handed them to the old man. The old man said thank you and started eating with big mouthfuls. He also drank the bottle of water. The old man knew that this bottle of water was spiritual spring water. He pretended not to know.
The old man asked Qiqi if they were going to Zhaoxian City, where he had a relative, and asked if he could give him a ride, as his legs were not in good condition. After saying that, he took two steps, and it was true that his legs were not in good condition.
Qiqi took out a few pills and gave them to the old man, asking him to take them to relieve his leg pain. The old man took them and put them in his mouth. After a while, his legs felt warm. He took a look at the pills and knew they were high-level pills.
Qiqi looked at Zhou Jingze, "Brother Jingze, go to the town and hire a carriage for the old man!"
"Okay, you wait here for me, I'll be back soon. It's very close to the town and I can be back in about a quarter of an hour." He said time was a warning to the old man not to play tricks.
The old man smiled slightly. "This kid is very good, very thoughtful, and treats his wife very well. Then I'll take them all in as my disciples. I can't achieve this level of cultivation without disciples. Many people have rushed to be my disciples, but I just can't find anyone. This time, two good candidates have come at once. I'll take them all in. But it all depends on whether they are willing to be my disciples!"
"Junior brother, aren't you making things difficult for me? You're asking me to see their character, their cultivation, and even asking me to take this little girl as my apprentice."
I'm pretending to be crippled now, and it seems they're good people. They saved me without asking any questions and gave me food. So many people passed by, but no one cared about me.
Soon Zhou Jingze hired a carriage and helped the old man onto it. Qiqi and Zhou Jingze also got on the carriage.
Zhou Jingze also bought a lot of cakes in the town, some for the old man and some for Qiqi, so that they could have something to eat on the way.
They were walking on the road, and the cars ahead were stuck in a traffic jam. They were both listening carefully and heard crying.
"Who among you is a doctor, please save my grandma? We went to the town to see a doctor. My grandma is sick now. Who of you can save my grandma? I'm kneeling down to you." A little boy about ten years old was kneeling on the ground, and an old man was lying next to him.
Many people gathered around to watch the excitement, but no one offered a hand. No one even lifted the old man into the car and took him to the town to see a doctor.
Qiqi hurried over and felt the old man's pulse. He found that his heart was not getting enough blood. Qiqi quickly took out some quick-acting heart pills from the medical base, poured out a few pills, and gave them to the old man to take. He also gave him some spiritual spring water to drink.
The old woman slowly woke up, and the little boy was still crying. When he saw his grandmother wake up, he grinned with joy.
"Sister, what medicine did you give my grandma? How is my grandma now? Can she get better?"
"Your grandma is fine now. How do you feel now, old lady? Are you feeling better?" Qiqi said.
"Thank you, girl. You saved me. I feel much better now. My heart doesn't feel so stuffy anymore," said the old man.
"Thank you, sister, for saving my grandma."
"Old man, you must be careful in the future. Don't catch cold, don't eat cold food, and don't drink cold water. This is a bottle of medicine. Take two pills a day. It will have a relieving effect." Qiqi took out a bottle of Danshen tablets and gave it to the old man.
The old man took it and thanked Qiqi and the others profusely, inviting them to his home for a visit.
Qiqi declined, as they had to hurry and there was an elderly person in the car who was not convenient to go.
"Old man, I'll visit your house when I have time in the future. Bye." After saying that, Qiqi got in the car and set off for Zhaoxian City.
The old man in the car saw all this, but he said nothing and asked nothing. He knew Qiqi was a doctor. He must be very skilled. He liked them even more.
He also knew Qiqi was Jiang Ziying's reincarnation, and that they had gone to Zhaoxian City for revenge. "Junior Brother, are you asking me to help them?" "If you didn't protect your daughter yourself, and only cared about her after she's reincarnated, don't you think it's too late?"
Silly Junior Brother, you can't even protect your own lover and daughter. What's the point of you sitting in this position? You're better off being free and easy than us. I'm so free now. I can go wherever I want. No one has any say in matters I don't want to meddle in.
Qiqi and the others were walking on the road when they saw many people heading in one direction. Zhou Jingze asked the driver what they were going to do.
"Sir, they are going to the Colosseum. There is a beast fight every month. There are also bets inside. The Colosseum makes money from these. Beasts fight with beasts. People fight with beasts. If people can beat the beasts, they can get a reward. If they can't beat them, they may be eaten by the beasts, or scratched and bitten. The Zhao family makes money through these." said the coachman.
Zhou Jingze asked, "What kind of beasts are there in the Colosseum? They are so ferocious."
"Young Master, you're not from Zhaoxian City, are you? The Colosseum is full of monsters captured by powerful beings. They are very ferocious. To survive, the beasts must fight each other, otherwise they will be killed. Many monsters have been beaten to death. The monsters have also rioted, but they were all subdued by the powerful beings of the Zhao family. They were chained and controlled. The monsters are also very pitiful.
Many people who frequently ride my carriage to the Colosseum have spoken these words in conversation. If you hadn't asked, I wouldn't have said this. Young Masters, please don't go to the Colosseum. Even if someone defeats a monster, they can't get paid. How can the Zhao family get paid? They use provocation and the lure of money to get them into battle with even more powerful monsters, and in the end, they all die at the monster's claws and maw.
"Those gamblers and the owners of the Colosseum are making a killing. They just kill people without using a knife, right? And no one can catch them. Many of the beast fights only have a hundred or so people going in, and it's lucky if ten come out alive. The Zhao family is such a bully, so many people couldn't stand it and pooled their money to file a complaint, but unfortunately, no one stood up for them, and they ended up getting beaten and crippled." The driver said with regret.
"I also heard that the Lord of Zhouxian City took in those who were crippled by the Zhao family. He gave them jobs so they could support themselves and avoid starving to death on the streets. Because of this incident, the Zhao family even troubled Lord Zhang. Fortunately, the Lord of Zhouxian City had a powerful cultivation base and stood up for these people, shocking the Zhao family and not handing over the people they had taken in. That's how they escaped the danger of death.
Zhou Xiancheng and Zhao Xiancheng had a feud over this. They stopped interacting with each other. Merchants from Zhou Xiancheng were also forbidden from trading in Zhao Xiancheng. If they set foot in the Zhao family's territory, their belongings would be confiscated. In serious cases, they would be beaten and thrown out of their area, labeled "Zhou Xiancheng's running dogs" and unworthy of being there, the driver said angrily.
