Chapter 13: Unscrupulous Landlords

"Alas, I don't know if you saved the galaxy in your last life, or defeated the Great Demon King. Xiao Yuqian touched Zhou Qingqing's blown-up face, and said to Zhou Qi jealously: "I actually started to be jealous of you, your daughter is too cute, right? This definitely has a lot to do with your wife, fortunately, it doesn't look like you." ”

"Ahem......" Zhou Qi coughed awkwardly, not wanting to continue talking about this topic, "Otherwise, let's go eat something first, the day has passed, and I'm really hungry." ”

"Okay, let's go to the Hong Kong-style restaurant over there, it's said to taste very good. ”

Several people came all the way to the destination like this, and Zhou Qi remembered Uncle Wang.

"I don't know if Uncle Wang is going to have dinner, so it's better to ask him to eat together. ”

Zhou Qi thought so, so he called over. Although I didn't have a mobile phone card yesterday, I had already stored Uncle Wang's phone in my mobile phone. But after several phone calls, no one answered.

"Why didn't anyone pick up ......" Zhou Qi frowned and muttered to himself.

"Who are you calling?" asked Xiao Yuqian, puzzled.

"Uncle Wang, live in my house to help take care of Xiao Qingqing. Zhou Qi picked up the menu, "I don't know why I didn't answer the phone." But it doesn't matter, let's eat first, and I'll bring some back to Uncle Wang later. ”

"By the way, Qingqing, you bring this. ”

Zhou Qi said, and took out a beeswax pendant from his pocket. It was polished by him in the past two days, not big or small, just right for Qingqing. It won't be a little heavy because it's too big, and it won't be forgotten every day because it's too small.

"Thank you, Dad!" Qingqing put it on her neck, and couldn't help but squint her eyes and said, "I feel like it smells good." ”

"It's the original scent of beeswax, and you have to wear it around your neck every day. Zhou Qi said, and put the beeswax into the inside of Qingqing's clothes, close to the skin, so that it would not be noticed by outsiders. And he also arranged a small formation on it yesterday, which can warm her body and play a certain protective role.

"Huh, Zhou Qi, you also play this?" Xiao Yuqian became curious, "Is there any way to say this?"

"Because the Qingqing Five Elements belong to the earth, it is just right to wear this. ”

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be quite superstitious as a young man, so what do you look at me?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it's water. Zhou Qi touched his nose and looked at Xiao Yuqian's face, "The skin is fair, moist and shiny, and it is easy for people to think about it." But in fact, there are many ways to judge, such as the aura of seeming nothingness. Everyone's aura is different, and the feeling is different. ”

"It's a god's thing...... Someone in my hometown used to tell my fortune, but I also said the same......" Xiao Yuqian's small eyes rolled, and suddenly said to Zhou Qi: "Then you say that I am white-skinned, but Zhou Qingqing is also very white! But it belongs to the earth, according to reason, shouldn't it be black and yellow? Hmph, I think you are a liar!"

"Say, did you often use this trick to deceive other women before?" Xiao Yuqian suddenly poked her head out, raised her pink fist and said: "Let me tell you, you now have a family and a room, and a daughter, but you must not behave like that kind of scumbag, you know? Otherwise, my Officer Xiao will not be the first to spare you!"

Zhou Qi touched his nose embarrassedly, when he was in college, he did touch the little girl's hand in the name of palmistry. But now I really rely on my real talent to learn, and I am not a deceitful.

"As I said earlier, you can't judge by the color of your skin alone......

At this time, Zhou Qi's phone suddenly rang, it was Uncle Wang's phone.

"Hey, Uncle Wang, where are you now? Have you cook......ed?"

"Ahem...... Zhou Qi...... You...... Can you ......"

"Hmm, Uncle Wang, what's wrong with you?" Sensing that something was wrong on the other end of the phone, Zhou Qi immediately stood up and walked outside the hotel with a frown, "Uncle Wang, don't worry, if you have something to say slowly, where are you?"

"Xiao Zhou...... Ahem, I accidentally fell outside, you guys eat first......"

"Uncle Wang, what happened to you?" Zhou Qi said in a deep voice: "Are you in any danger? If you don't tell me where you are, I'm really angry." ”

"I ...... Alas, I'm on Linping Road, and I'm about to rush home, I'll tell you when I go back!"

"You ...... Linping Road" Zhou Qi suddenly understood what was going on, "I remember, I remember that the peasant house you rented was on Linping Road, right? Okay, I'll go over now, you wait for me there, the specific location of Linping Road?"

"Alas...... I can't help you...... I'm at No. 52 Linping Road, next door to Linhai Restaurant......"

"I see, you're waiting for me there. Zhou Qi hung up the phone and turned around and returned to the restaurant.

"What happened?" Xiao Yuqian, with the sensitivity of her profession, immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Oh, it's not a big deal, I'll deal with it, you can accompany Xiao Qingqing to eat here." Zhou Qi touched Xiao Qingqing's head and said with a smile: "Xiao Qingqing, my sister is here to eat with you, can you wait here for Dad?" Dad will come back soon, and we will go home together when the time comes." ”

"Dad, are you leaving?" Zhou Qingqing suddenly became a little nervous, "Will you not come back......

Seeing Zhou Qingqing crying, Zhou Qi's heart suddenly tightened, looked at Qingqing deeply, and said firmly: "Xiao Qingqing, do you believe in Dad? Dad will never leave you again, wait for Dad to come back." ”

"Okay, Dad, Qingqing believes in you!" Zhou Qingqing wiped his slightly moist eyes, smiled and nodded, "Dad has always been very trustworthy, I believe in Dad!"

"Good!" Zhou Qi nodded at Xiao Yuqian, turned around and walked out.

"This kid ......" Xiao Yuqian looked at Zhou Qi's back, then at Zhou Qingqing, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qingqing, in fact, your father is not easy, he has been working hard in the past two years!"

"Mmmm, Qingqing knows!" Zhou Qingqing nodded and said with a smile: "Sister, you also eat!"

"Uh-huh, let's eat together!Come on, this fish ball is super delicious, try it......"

......

Zhou Qi had already taken a taxi at this time and was heading towards the goal, and his face was extremely gloomy at this time.

You don't need to ask to know that Uncle Wang must have had a problem when he checked out the rent.

Soon arrived at the destination, Zhou Qi got out of the car and saw Uncle Wang sitting on the side of the road from a distance. There was some redness on the side of his face, and there were obvious blood marks on his arms and legs, which must have been beaten on the ground.

"Uncle Wang, what about them?" Zhou Qi said with a gloomy face.

"You...... You know?" Uncle Wang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Zhou Qi, there are a lot of them, so forget it." Alas...... I'm just a little tired just now, now it's okay, let's go. Don't cause trouble, you still have Qingqing. ”

"It's okay, Uncle Wang, tell me where they are?" asked Zhou Qi with his fists clenched.

"Zhou Qi, don't be impulsive. Seeing Zhou Qi's expression, Uncle Wang said worriedly: "I was just afraid that you would be impulsive, so I didn't let you come." Look at you, if something really happens, what can Qingqing do? More is better than less, just forget it, let's go, let's go, don't be impulsive......"

"Uncle Wang, they should be eating at this Linhai restaurant, right?" Zhou Qi lit a cigarette and said slowly: "I noticed your eyes just now, and I was a little scared when I looked there. Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you. Tell me, what's the name of that landlord? Don't worry, I'm never impulsive, I'll solve the problem. ”

"You really won't be impulsive?" Uncle Wang said hesitantly: "I think it's better to forget it, there are a lot of them." ”

"Actually, I'll tell you the truth, I was the captain of the debate team when I was in college, and it was a common thing to fight with each other. Taking a deep breath of cigarette, Zhou Qi smiled and patted Uncle Wang, "Don't worry, I've always been very low-key, and I will definitely use my three-inch tongue to help you get the money back, tell me, what is the landlord's name?"

"Really?" Uncle Wang looked at Zhou Qi hesitantly, and then said, "His name is Liu Gang, and you ......"

"Okay, you wait for me here. Zhou Qi patted Uncle Wang and strode towards the Linhai Restaurant.

As soon as I walked into the hall, I saw that there was a lot of people, so it was not lively.

Zhou Qi knocked on the table at the front desk and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to disturb, may I ask if there is anyone named Liu Gang here?"

"Ah, aren't you here to eat?" the front desk looked at Zhou Qi suspiciously, "Let's go out without eating!"

"Hey, it was Brother Gang who asked me to come over for dinner, I was afraid just now that you didn't know who Brother Gang I was talking about. Zhou Qi smiled and took a puff of cigarette, "Which box is he in? ”

"Are you really here to find Brother Gang?" The front desk looked at Zhou Qi suspiciously, pointed to the second floor and said, "He is upstairs, sitting in the one on the left." But after going in for a while, you may be almost finished. ”

Zhou Qi nodded, took a cigarette all the way to the second floor, pushed open the door and walked in.

The box was huge, with enough room for more than 20 people to sit at a single table. Sitting in the first place was a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, and the rest were obviously not good, scolding and scolding together, and their voices were extremely noisy.

"Hmm, who are you looking for?" The closest to the door, usually sat the lowest person at the table.

He was also the first to react to a stranger coming in, so he stood up and asked.

"Oh, I've come to Brother Gang for something. Zhou Qi smiled and nodded, "May I ask where is Brother Gang?"

"You're here to find Brother Gang?" the younger brother asked suspiciously, "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you?"

Everyone present also noticed Zhou Qi at this time, so his voice gradually quieted down and looked here.

"I'm here to rent a house. Zhou Qi snuffed out the cigarette butt, "We put on a month's rent and paid it for half a year at the same time." Although the amount is not large, I hope that Brother Gang can raise his noble hand and return it to me. ”

"Renting a house?" Liu Gang was the fat man sitting in the first place, he kicked the legs of the person next to him, pointed at Zhou Qi and said, "Oh, I heard that you beat an old man today?

"The old man chirps crookedly, he's been here several times, and the contract has been signed, how can he return it?"

The person next to him looked at Zhou Qi with disdain, "Hurry up and get out, go back and tell Lao Tzu, not only can the money not be refunded, but you have to give me 100,000 liquidated damages, otherwise you will be killed." In the whole area, most of the farmer's houses belong to our brother Gang, and he deals with so many things every day, how can he have time to care about you?

"Is it your hand?" Zhou Qi narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were actually full of a meaningful smile.

But in a matter of seconds, the smile became the darkest nightmare in everyone's hearts.
