Chapter Seventy-One: Willing to Take the Blame

Back in the "visitor" tavern, the young man who was still looking for Qu Die's complaint on the street just now was already standing in front of the shopkeeper with a flattering hunched waist, and asked flatteringly: "Shopkeeper, now the little girl who doesn't know whether to live or die has left with her bag on her back, my ......"

After a pause, the young man's hand couldn't help but move with some hesitation, and the implication of asking for a reward in his words could not be more obvious.

The shopkeeper didn't care, he had seen a lot of this kind of thing, and since the task he asked for had been completed, the reward would naturally not be less.

Handing over a few pieces of broken silver, the shopkeeper couldn't help but squint his eyes, You Ya Youzai poured a cup of tea for himself, touched his chin with one hand and asked, "Didn't that little girl do anything to resist?" ”

Qu Die's stubbornness he had seen with his own eyes, and he still couldn't believe that this matter could be completed so easily.

When the young man heard this, he thought that the shopkeeper was suspecting him of cheating, and the corners of his mouth that were grinning at the back of his ears when he saw the money immediately took it back, and nodded again and again and patted his chest to the shopkeeper to assure him.

"Really, really, the little one definitely didn't have the courage to lie to you, that little girl was not convinced at the beginning, and she was still tough with me, but I really pressed her down later, you didn't see her slip away in the end, and a few fools next to me helped me chew her together!"

Thinking of his high-spirited appearance, the young man was still a little proud, and it was probably the most brilliant time he had in the past 20 years.

"Haha, good, good!" Hearing his words, the shopkeeper was even more satisfied, laughed and said three good things in a row, and patted the young man on the shoulder very good-naturedly and praised him.

"Not bad, yes, you hairy boy is very bright, I will find you to work in the future, let's go!"

Although he didn't witness that scene with his own eyes, with the vision of the shopkeeper who had been doing business for so many years, he couldn't tell whether the young man was lying, and that was why he was so happy.

Squinting his eyes, he brought the teacup to his mouth, took a sip unhurriedly, and then put it on the table.

Accompanied by the crisp crashing sound was the shopkeeper's cruel words, "Girl, I will let you know what regret is, no one who dares to go against me can be safe!" ”

It wasn't until she went back to the old house that Qu Die explained things to Qu Wanting one by one.

Unconsciously swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Qu Wanting's eyes widened and she said in a daze, "Wow, Fluttershy, you're so smart, I just didn't know what to do when I was faced with that kind of situation, you can still think of so much!" ”

Indeed, the courage to question the young man just now had already made her entire back soaked in cold sweat, not to mention that Qu Die knew everything so well and could think of the way back in an instant.

Stunned, she raised her head to look at Qu Die's tall figure, Qu Wanting realized the changes in Qu Die more and more clearly, and her eyes couldn't help but flash a touch of admiration.

didn't notice Qu Wanting's look behind her, Qu Die smiled indifferently, and said, "Aren't you also great?" Now not only can you help me so much, but you also have the courage to stand up and talk to people who are looking for trouble, you have changed a lot. ”

Tilting her head slightly, Qu Die looked at Qu Wanting with a little praise in her eyes.

Since she was very early on, she has hoped to change Qu Wanting, because she has a kind heart but has no courage to argue, but now, she has changed.

I believe that it won't be long before Qu Wanting can really come out of the shadow of being abused and restore the liveliness that a girl of this age should have.

"What, what?" was stunned, Qu Die's sudden praise made Qu Wanting's head a little dizzy for a while, and even her speech became stammering.

Even, there was a touch of red on her cheeks, which made her look a little rare and cute at this time.

While laughing, Qu Die casually threw the empty wooden basin to the firewood room, patted her shoulder and persuaded: "I've been busy these days, you must be tired, take advantage of today's rare time to go and rest for a while, and we'll get up and eat again when we wake up." ”

With that, he yawned and went into the house first.

The second awakening was already on the second day, in fact, Qu Die had already woken up since the day was just white, but due to the inertia of her body, she lay on the bed again until Yinshi.

Simply draped in clothes, Qu Die first added some firewood to the kang to heat the tea eggs that had cooled in the pot, and then began to prepare the breakfast to be eaten for a while.

Skillfully opened an egg and put it into the large pot that was already hot oil, Qu Die picked up the wooden shovel on the side and turned it a few times, and threw a small piece of steamed bread into it, and after a while, the fragrance began to slowly overflow.

Or the nose is too sensitive, Qu Wanting also walked over with some sleepy eyes at this time, and when she saw everything in the firewood room, her eyes immediately lit up.

"Fluttershy, did you just wake up?" Since the day she moved into the old house, Qu Wanting has been accustomed to Qu Die getting up early to cook every day.

In fact, she really wanted to accept these things, after all, Qu Die was so good to her, if she didn't do something, she would always feel uncomfortable.

But as if to let her taste her unique craftsmanship, Qu Die didn't let her get involved in this matter at all, preferring to get up early every day.

Qu Wanting naturally understood Qu Die's intentions, but it was precisely because of this that she was so moved, and then it was more like helping Qu Die share the burden.

In the past, she was used to the busy life in the Qu family every day, but now such a relaxed and comfortable day makes her a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, Qu Die's craftsmanship is really good.

It's all novelty, which always makes Qu Wanting can't help but taste after eating.

Turned around and went to fetch a basin of water, washed it with the cold and clear well water, and then made a basin again for Qu Die to use when she was free, and then went back to the house.

It didn't take long for her to bring out a few fragrant and brightly colored fried poached eggs and fried steamed buns from the firewood room, and poured a little seafood soy sauce from modern times on them, so that the modern breakfast was completed.

Swallowed saliva unconsciously, for some reason, every time she finished watching Qu Die's cooking, Qu Wanting would always be unstoppably drooling, and her eyes couldn't be taken off at all.

Fried poached eggs are a very common breakfast form in modern times, and she is used to the taste of seasonings, Qu Die misses these home-cooked side dishes very much at this time, but what makes her drool even more is the dishes made by Wei Huanniang.

While pondering when to find another opportunity to eat, Qu Die had already urged Qu Wanting to sit down on the chair.

But fortunately, she has been used to seeing these strange things in the past few days of Qu Die's life, and Qu Wanting was not too surprised when she looked at this fragrant fried poached egg.

After a quick breakfast, the two of them got on the mule cart to the town again, and on the way, while licking the non-existent fragrance on their mouths, Qu Wanting couldn't help but ask, "Speaking of which, Fluttershy, why did you come to do business today when you already knew that they were deliberately having trouble with you?" ”

She still remembers the sharp taunts of the crowd yesterday clearly, and it seems that they are still echoing in her ears, which is why she is puzzled.

Now that you know that there is a problem, it is better to investigate it slowly, why do you want to find it yourself and suffer?

Anyway, after yesterday's wave, no matter what today, no one will come to buy it again, thinking like this, Qu Wanting still came to the familiar stall with Qu Die.

However, as Tong said, after waiting for an hour, the tea eggs in the pot are still clearly distinguished.

On the contrary, the scolding of others in her ears has not stopped, and the vendor next to Qu Die's stall who once ridiculed her but was taught by her counter-lesson saw this, and was even more reluctant to let go of this great opportunity.

Since the two of them appeared holding tea eggs, his mocking voice has not stopped, and he even used yesterday's incident to make fun of other customers, which made Qu Wanting's face black and white.

Maybe after all, it's because her thinking is not avant-garde enough, although she clearly knows the reason for all this, and she knows Qu Die's plan better, other people's broken words still make her very aggrieved.

Gently patting her shoulder, Qu Die sighed a little helplessly, she knew that there would be such a situation, but she didn't expect Qu Wanting to be weaker than she expected.

Patience comforted her a few words, and Qu Die paid more attention to the crowd.

She's looking, she's looking for the culprit who caused all this time, since that person specifically found someone to ruin her business, then how could that person let her go of her current dejected and miserable appearance?

Tsai carefully swept everyone's expressions, just as Qu Die guessed, the hotel shopkeeper was indeed shrinking in a corner at this time, smiling and observing all this.

He naturally understands the so-called long line to catch big fish, and now it seems that the time has almost come.

At noon, looking at the full tea eggs in the basin, Qu Die couldn't help but shake his head, a full fifty, not a single one was sold.

Although she is trying to fish out the mastermind behind the scenes, she is still a little distressed to pay the price of a full fifty tea eggs, after all, there was no refrigerator in ancient times, and it is summer now, and the scorching temperature can make the tea eggs spoil in just one afternoon.

Just as she was packing up her stall and preparing to go back, two people suddenly appeared and asked her to stop what she was doing and look up.

"Little girl, our shopkeeper wants to see you!" Raising his head and saying arrogantly, the tall and thin young man in front of him was the young man who sued Qu Die yesterday.

At an angle that the two couldn't see, Qu Die couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth, and then a gleam flashed in her eyes, and Qu Wanting, who was familiar with her, immediately knew that this was her going to start calculating people......

"Who are your treasurers, and what are you looking for me? Why didn't he come in person? Frowning, Qu Die was very vigilant, looked at the two of them with a tense face, and said coldly.

Glancing at each other, the two just hooked their lips and smiled, not answering Qu Die's question at all, but stubbornly insisting that Qu Die be brought over.
