Stunning Dragon Wife-Chapter 647 - 646 Heartbreak

Zhang Xiaoshan had cornered her against the wall, causing Tao Qian to tremble with fear.

"I, I was just saying that earlier, I didn’t actually mean to do it, and besides, you agreed to it yourself, I..."

Hu Qiaoling also stepped forward, grabbing Zhang Xiaoshan’s arm, and pleaded on her behalf.

"Doctor Zhang, Sister Tao Qian was just anxious, it was an unintentional mistake, she didn’t mean any harm by it, I can vouch for her."

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Hu Qiaoling beside him and sighed helplessly.

"You, you’re too naive and simple, with such a nature, even if I send you out of White Dragon Village, I guess you’re still going to be taken advantage of."

"I think you really should change your temper and personality, or else you will definitely be deceived again, and next time you might not be so lucky to encounter someone like me."

"I, I’m not that foolish..." Hu Qiaoling said, embarrassedly lowering her head.

Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head, his stern gaze turning toward Tao Qian as he spoke indifferently.

"For Hu Qiaoling’s sake, I won’t hold this against you."

"Rest assured, since I promised to help you leave tonight, I will definitely keep my word, follow me."

"Are we leaving now?"

Tao Qian and Hu Qiaoling appeared very surprised.

Zhang Xiaoshan walked straight toward the door.

"If you want to leave, follow me."

Although they did not know what Zhang Xiaoshan was planning, they quickly followed him.

Soon, they came to the place where Zhang Xiaoshan had last helped Zhang Ercai’s woman escape.

The vast river surface was ceaselessly churning.

Since it was the deep autumn rainy season, autumn rains were plentiful, and it might have rained upstream of the White Dragon Village, causing the river water to rise a lot, and it was somewhat muddy.

"How, how are we going to get across?"

Looking at the rolling river water, fear filled the eyes of both Tao Qian and Hu Qiaoling.

If they fell in, would they still be able to save their lives?

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Tao Qian and said sarcastically,

"Didn’t you say you felt as if staying in White Dragon Village was worse than death, and you couldn’t stay another day? Then you might as well jump into the White Dragon River to commit suicide, and if you’re lucky, get washed to a shallow sandbank downstream, wouldn’t that let you escape smoothly?"

"I..."

Tao Qian’s face turned so red it seemed blood might drip from it as she lowered her head, too embarrassed to look at Zhang Xiaoshan.

Hu Qiaoling attempted to smooth things over,

"Doctor Zhang, you surely have a way, right? Please don’t bully Sister Tao Qian anymore."

It was then that Zhang Xiaoshan released his grip.

"Clatter."

A large suitcase he had been holding fell to the ground.

Upon opening it, inside were several car inner tubes and a small rechargeable air pump that he and Bai Shutong had bought the last time.

Soon, several deflated inner tubes had been filled, becoming buoyant.

There were eight in total.

Zhang Xiaoshan tied them together, forming a small motorboat.

When thrown into the river surface, the motorboat immediately floated.

"Alright, you two get on."

"Great."

Upon seeing this, the two women immediately climbed aboard, and Zhang Xiaoshan took off his own clothes and also entered the water.

With his current level of skill, he could have easily carried the two across the water surface, but such abilities shouldn’t be casually shown in front of ordinary people to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Once in the water, Zhang Xiaoshan quietly activated his True Qi.

Using the force of reverse thrust, the makeshift motorboat began to quickly make its way across the river.

It only took five to six minutes to reach the shallow bank on the opposite side.

"Freedom, haha, I’m out, I’ve left White Dragon Village."

Before even fully leaving the shallow bank, Tao Qian excitedly jumped off the suggested motorboat, crawled into the bushes without a single word of farewell to Zhang Xiaoshan, and directly ran onto the rugged mountain path, heading in the opposite direction of White Dragon Village as she left.

"Really not a good thing."

When Zhang Xiaoshan climbed ashore, Tao Qian was already out of sight, and he couldn’t help but make a snide remark.

However, for him, it was no loss; it’s better she left.

Hu Qiaoling stood by the shore, and after Zhang Xiaoshan got ashore, she even obediently pulled out a towel from her small luggage backpack to wipe his wet body, then helped Zhang Xiaoshan get dressed.

Such actions from Hu Qiaoling warmed Zhang Xiaoshan’s heart, and he couldn’t help feeling somewhat comforted.

"You are a good girl. Take this, and when you get home, find a good man to settle down with."

Zhang Xiaoshan pulled out a thick stack of money.

Probably about ten thousand, he handed it to Hu Qiaoling.

"Ah, this, I can’t take this. You saved me, and I am already very grateful. I didn’t give you any money; it’s settled. How could I possibly ask you for money in return?"

Hu Qiaoling looked visibly anxious and scared.

"Take it. You just left White Dragon Village and you don’t have a job yet. There will be many places you’ll need money. Just listen to me."

Zhang Xiaoshan insisted, stuffing the money into the backpack Hu Qiaoling was carrying.

"Woo woo woo..."

Hu Qiaoling wiped her tears and suddenly knelt in front of Zhang Xiaoshan, bowing deeply.

"Good man, Doctor Zhang, you are a good person. Heaven will surely bless you with a long life."

"I, I will pray for you."

"Don’t do this, get up, please."

Zhang Xiaoshan pulled Hu Qiaoling up from the ground.

"It’s getting late. You should hurry. You must take a bus out of Qingshan Town before dawn or it will be bad if the villagers catch up."

"Okay."

Hu Qiaoling didn’t dare delay and, with deep gratitude, gave Zhang Xiaoshan one last look before she turned and left.

Zhang Xiaoshan watched Hu Qiaoling’s figure disappear then directly turned and stepped into the White Dragon River.

Walking through the water.

Soon, he was back in the village, lying in the clinic’s bed, sound asleep.

Having seen off both Tao Qian and Hu Qiaoling, his conscience felt much more at ease.

The next day around ten o’clock, the sound of gongs and drums in the village woke Zhang Xiaoshan.

Li Erniu and Wu Biao found out their wives had run away and mobilized the villagers to search.

Zhang Xiaoshan got up to check out the commotion.

He had just opened the clinic’s large door.

And saw a graceful figure.

Li Ya had her hair tied up in a high ponytail, wearing a white sweater, blue jeans, and white shoes; her hands tightly clenching her clothes, her expression torn as if considering whether to knock on the door or not.

But just then, the clinic door happened to open.

When their eyes met, both were stunned for a moment.

In that instant, the aggrieved Li Ya burst out.

"Brother Shan."

She threw herself into Zhang Xiaoshan’s arms, clinging to his neck as she cried out loud.

"Woo woo woo..."

Her voice was like a sobbing lament, heartbreakingly poignant.

Zhang Xiaoshan’s heart was almost breaking.
