Chapter 444: The Old Man

"This guest officer, please understand, you have seen it all, it is true"

"Brother Li!" Qingwan subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the person who came was Li Gui of Xuanlei Mountain!

"Qing girl!" Li Gui turned his head and was taken aback: "Why are you here?" ”

Qingwan was very happy, and walked quickly in front of Li Gui: "What a coincidence! I actually met in the state city! ”

"Just you?" Li Gui subconsciously looked behind her, "No one else?" ”

Qingwan didn't pay attention to his words: "I came by myself." It's okay. Brother Li, come, let's talk while eating. ”

When Li Gui saw her, he was surprised at first, and then when he heard this, he showed a hesitant look: "You"

"Brother Li, what's wrong with you?" Qingwan didn't know why, a little puzzled. Why didn't Li Gui look excited at all? It's like there's something on my mind.

"Ah, no, no," Li Gui suddenly woke up, waved his hand again and again, he was a straight-hearted man, and then he seemed to be speechless, and after a long time, he said, "You haven't eaten yet?" So, let's sit together. ”

"Then this guest officer, you are sitting at the same table with this girl," Xiao Er was frightened by Li Gui and was covered with cold sweat, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Ask what?" Li Gui waved his hand impatiently: "You look at the six dishes, whatever is good, come up!" We'll settle out later, and don't bother us if it's okay! ”

"Hey, okay!" The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed and went down to prepare.

"Brother Li," Qingwan poured him a cup of tea and said excitedly, "I'm so happy to meet you here!" Since the last time we separated, I haven't had a chance to see you again. ”

Li Gui seemed to be a little upset, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put it down, not knowing what to do.

"Brother Li," Qingwan looked left and right, lowered his voice, and said, "You came here, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Oh," Li Gui looked at her, paused for a moment, and then said, "It's not a big deal, I have a friend who has something to do here, I'll come over to help." ”

Qingwan didn't ask anything anymore, so she continued to lower her voice and said, "Brother Li, I heard from Gongzi Lu, you were stabbed by Bai Dingxing's people last time, and several of your brothers are gone, and now the injuries are all healed?" Thunder Mountain isn't in danger right now, right? ”

A look of emotion flashed in Li Gui's eyes: "Miss Qing, don't worry, my injury is already fine, and this is all thanks to the two little guys sent by Lu Gongzi, they both understand pharmacology, otherwise, the huge Spiral Thunder Mountain is all rude, and no one can really heal the injury." ”

At this time, Xiao Er happened to be serving the food, so the two paused the conversation, and when the dishes were served, Li Guicai continued: "The government hasn't come to encircle and suppress much recently, probably because we can't make waves in Xuanlei Mountain, right?" ”

He smiled bitterly, took a big sip from his glass, and then put it down heavily, silent.

"Brother Li, don't worry, as long as you and your brothers are safe, it is the most important thing." Qingwan had to say, "It's man-made, you can't be in a hurry about everything, take your time." ”

"Miss Qing, I'm so glad to meet you here," Li Gui regained a hearty smile on his face, and picked up the wine: "Come, I'll toast you!" ”

Qingwan smiled, clinked glasses with him, and took a sip gently, "Later, Bai Dingxing's people didn't trouble you again, right?" ”

Hearing this, Li Gui was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he replied indiscriminately: "No!" He didn't dare to come again. We're glad to be here today, don't talk about that! ”

"Big brother!" A crisp voice suddenly sounded, with anger in his tone: "Why don't you tell me here?" It's easy to find me! ”

"It's a little camel!" Li Gui looked up and saw that the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy was standing at the table looking at him with a look of grievance.

"You only care about eating and drinking yourself, and you don't care about your brother?"

"Come, little camel, sit down!" Li Gui said apologetically, "It's not that the eldest brother deliberately forgot you, didn't you meet an old man!" ”

The little camel is not tall, but his eyes are shrewd and capable, and when he heard this, his eyes rolled and he glanced at Qingwan: "Is this my sister?" ”

"Haha, this kid's mouth is quite sweet, it's her!" Li Gui laughed, "Call Sister Wei!" ”

The little camel opened its mouth and barked sweetly.

"No, we're about the same age, aren't we?" Qingwan couldn't help but laugh.

"No matter how old you are, you are a smart and clever sister, and you can carry me in the future!" The little camel said with a smile.

"Alright, let's sit down and eat!" Li Gui patted his head, "Flamboyant all day long!" ”

The little camel sighed, dragged a stool and sat down, stuffing food into his mouth, while not forgetting to speak: "Big brother, didn't I say you, why did you forget the little brother when you saw a clever sister?" If I hadn't been clever, would I have to be hungry to find this place? ”

"You boy! There's so much to eat and you can't stop your mouth! If you rap again, be careful that I throw you out! Li Gui said and put a lot of vegetables on the little camel.

"Big brother, big brother," the little camel hurriedly said, "I won't say anything, I don't dare to say it anymore, let me finish this meal." ”

Looking at his appearance, Qingwan and Li Gui couldn't help but laugh. Qingwan smiled and said, "Brother Li, is he your follower?" ”

"Not really!" The little camel said again: "I am his little brother!" This is my big brother! When something happens, my eldest brother can't do without me! ”

"I'll have to sew your mouth shut sooner or later!" Li Gui's face darkened, glared at him, and said: "This child is also a miserable person, without his father and mother, he was sold by his uncle and aunt, and the grandfather of that family called him as a donkey and horse, and then the grandfather's house was burned by us, this kid is clever and escaped, so he has to follow me, he can't work, and he bragging is a top guy!" ”

"I think this little brother is a smart and honest person," Qingwan looked at those big eyes, "Brother Li can have such a person to follow, and he is much more down-to-earth when he goes south and north." ”

"Isn't it?" The little camel was triumphant: "Big brother, did you hear that?" Sister Wei said so! Thankfully, I follow you and take care of you everywhere."

"Enough of you kid!" Li Gui knocked on his head with a "snap": "Say you're fat, you'll gasp!" Are you taking care of me, or am I taking care of you? ”

"Oops!" The little camel covered his head with an aggrieved expression: "Big brother! Why can't you listen to the truth? ”

Qingwan looked at the two brothers, not only smiling at the corners of his mouth: "Okay, Brother Li, don't tease him, see that the little camel is hungry, let him eat something steadily." ”

"Big brother!" Before Qingwan's words fell, the little camel suddenly put down his chopsticks, stood up, and rushed to the door, his face instantly became a serious and serious expression, looking left and right.

"Little camel!" Li Gui also frowned, and followed him to the door of the store, only the cold wind outside, whistling by.

"Brother Li!" Qingwan, who was confused, saw the two of them coming back with solemn expressions, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"There must have been a killer passing by here just now!" The little camel immediately said, "Sister Wei, we"

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Li Gui: "Leave a door on your mouth!" ”

"Sister Wei is not an outsider" The little camel glanced at Qingwan and muttered in a low voice: "I can see that my sister is not the unreliable person"

"Brother Li," Qingwan felt that they must have something to hide from them, and her heart tightened, "Little Camel is right, what happened?" You must tell me! ”

Li Gui's eyes looked at the two of them in turn, and sighed: "Miss Qing, I didn't want to talk about this, but this kid has a quick mouth, let you hear it, I have to"

"If you don't tell me anything, keep me in the dark, it will be difficult to deal with in the end," Qingwan said, "If it weren't for the reason, you wouldn't have come down from the mountain." ”

"Then I'll tell you exactly what it is." Li Gui said, "Actually, it's good that this kid said it, the paper can't contain the fire, and the horizontal and vertical can't hide it." ”

Qingwan poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Li Gui.

"Did Mr. Lu come to live in your village?" Li Gui came up and asked.

"Yes," Qingwan nodded, infinitely surprised in her heart, "Brother Li, how do you know?" ”

Li Gui lowered his voice: "I have been in correspondence with Lu Gongzi. But it's all with carrier pigeons. Do you know why Lu Gongzi went to the village? ”

Qingwan shook her head, which was also the biggest doubt in her heart.

"Miss Qing, he's here to protect you!" Li Gui's voice was slightly bitter.

"Protect me?" Qingwan was very surprised. She had guessed countless reasons, but she had never imagined that this would be the case.

"Yes," Li Gui nodded slightly, "Actually, Gongzi Lu repeatedly told me not to leak these things, but this is also a coincidence of providence, but here today, I can still meet you!" Maybe it's time to say it. Miss Qing, do you know that the Xiang family has risen again? ”

"I know," Qingwan hurriedly said, "This is what Lu Gongzi told me." ”

"Exactly," Li Gui continued, "the Xiang family has now climbed to the top of the court, colluded with Bai Dingxing, and has risen again. These two families have a deep enmity with Lu Gongzi, and now once they turn over, they will naturally have to retaliate fiercely. However, they couldn't find any tricks for a while, only some time ago, you saved the plague and could use it to make a fuss. ”

"The plague?" Qingwan became more and more confused, "What we did was a good thing, so what handle can we have?" ”

"Even a rough man like me knows a sentence, if you want to add sin, why should you do it?" Li Gui smiled bitterly, "The Bai family, as the imperial doctor, reported to the emperor, saying that you colluded with the medicinal herb merchants in the process of treating the plague. ”
