Chapter 142: My Sister Is Missing
Qi Erfeng naturally didn't know what Zhou Hou was looking for the gang leader today, and at this time, the gang leader of the beggar gang asked, Qi Erfeng could only turn his head to look at Zhou Hou and gesture to him with his eyes to answer this question.
The leader of the beggar gang followed Qi Erfeng's eyes and saw Zhou Hou standing aside, his face immediately became less enthusiastic than just now, and became a little faint.
In front of Qi Erfeng, it was difficult for the helper to say anything, in fact, from the moment he saw Zhou Hou, he knew what Zhou Hou was here for today. If it was in the past, he wouldn't even see Zhou Hou, and he would have sent Zhou Hou away at the door. But today is different, since Zhou Hou can come with Qi Erfeng this week, it shows that the relationship between the two of them is not ordinary.
Well? Realizing this problem, the leader of the beggar gang immediately felt a little unhappy in his heart.
He asked in a rough voice, "Boss Zhou, what are you doing here today?" What is your relationship with Miss Qi? ”
Obviously, the first half of the sentence is not the question he really wants to ask, but the second half is the focus of his attention. If Zhou Hou and Miss Qi had any too close relationship, he probably wanted to kill someone immediately!
As a man, Zhou Hou naturally knew the meaning of the beggar gang leader's words, so he immediately avoided the first question and answered the second question directly.
"Helper, in the partnership between Zhou Ji Qianzhuang and Miss Qi's Drunken Immortal Residence, so, in this way, we should be regarded as ordinary friends." Zhou Hou explained.
Zhou Hou is also smart, he has to make his relationship with Qi Erfeng clear, and he can't make the relationship between the two seem too rusty. If he doesn't have much to do with Qi Erfeng, then the leader of the beggar gang can give him without selling Qi Erfeng's face. Then I am afraid that the purpose of his coming here today will be frustrated again.
Sure enough, when the leader of the beggar gang heard that he and Qi Erfeng were cooperative friends, he showed a relieved expression on his face on the one hand, and frowned a little on the other hand.
"It turned out to be Miss Qi's friend, that is my friend. Just say anything and I can help...... Will do my best to help. The helper's words were still not too dead, and there was obvious reluctance in and out of the words.
However, even with such an attitude, Zhou Hou couldn't ask for it.
He was overjoyed and thanked, "Thank you, thank you." ”
The gang leader waved his hand to stop him and thanked him: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me first, my ability is also limited, but I will try my best to help you if I can help you within the scope of my ability." If it's beyond my means, then I can't help it. ”
The helper's words are to vaccinate Zhou Hou, so that Zhou Hou should not be taken seriously because of the half-true promise just now. If Zhou Hou really keeps bothering the helper in the future, the helper will also turn his face and deny people.
After all, everything was because of Qi Erfeng's face that he reluctantly took care of Zhou Hou. If Zhou Hou is not interested, then he can't blame the gang leader for being unkind.
Zhou Hou naturally understood the truth, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, I understand." What Zhou wants the helper to help with is actually not complicated. It's just a matter of finding out about one person. ”
Qi Erfeng was a little curious, and immediately asked, "What person?" ”
However, before Zhou Hou could answer, the helper on the side immediately replied: "I can't help you with this matter." ”
"......" Zhou Hou's expression froze, he didn't expect the helper to refuse him so neatly.
Qi Erfeng was also stunned, it seems that this gang leader knew what Zhou Hou was asking him for. The helper should know the cause and effect, but he just doesn't want to help Zhou Hou.
Qi Erfeng shouldn't have been involved in such a thing, after all, although Zhou Hou and Zuixianju were in a cooperative relationship, and Zuixianju also owed Zhou Ji Qianzhuang's silver, but, one yard is one yard. Can't just because the two of them have such a relationship, she will help Zhou Hou with everything.
didn't want to care about it, but when he turned his head and saw the sad look in Zhou Hou's eyes, Qi Erfeng's heart moved, and he felt that he couldn't help this matter.
So, Qi Erfeng continued to ask: "Boss Zhou, what is the matter?" Regardless of whether the helper helps you or not, you can tell me first, I'm still curious, who will find out the whereabouts of a character like you? ”
Although this sounded like Qi Erfeng's curiosity on the surface, Zhou Hou knew that this was Qi Erfeng fighting for him for an opportunity. If he said the matter in front of the beggar gang leader, even if the gang leader didn't want to help, Qi Erfeng could make peace in the middle.
Zhou Hou glanced at Qi Erfeng gratefully, then turned his head to look at the leader of the beggar gang, and sure enough, he saw the latter's embarrassed expression. Zhou Hou was happy in his heart, looking at the look of the helper, if Qi Erfeng came forward to help intercede, maybe he would really help.
"It's a housemate." Zhou Hou said bitterly, the worried look in his eyes could not be concealed.
Qi Erfeng's heart was shocked: "What's wrong with Sister Ling?" ”
"When she went out to play two days ago, her whereabouts were suddenly unknown. We've been looking for two whole days, but there's been no news. She is a little girl who does not understand the world, I am worried about ......" Zhou Hou didn't know how to continue, just thinking about the possible situation he couldn't stand it.
The sister who is like a flower and a bone, if it falls into the hands of a thief, I don't know what will happen.
Judging from the reaction of the helper just now, he should know a little clue, but he is unwilling to help now.
Qi Erfeng said anxiously: "A girl, there has been no news for two days, you have also looked for it, but you have not found it, this situation is not optimistic!" ”
"yes!" Zhou Hou frowned.
The helper on the side didn't want to talk, but Qi Erfeng frowned, looking anxious, so he really couldn't look at it indifferently.
The leader of the beggar gang coughed lightly and said, "Miss Qi, don't worry too much, his sister should be fine." ”
Zhou Hou immediately asked eagerly, "Helper, do you know where the housekeeper is?" If you know where she is, please let me know, we're worried about her. She has been pampered since she was a child, and she has never left home. This time, I was worried that she would be in danger, and even if she was free of life, she must have been quite frightened. ”
Qi Erfeng also said: "Yes, helper, if you have news, tell Boss Zhou, I am also a girl, I can understand the feeling of being frightened." If it were you, you wouldn't want me to fall into the hands of thieves and suffer this sin, would you? ”
"Of course I can't bear it!" The helper blurted out.
Zhou Hou on the side was stunned, he didn't expect that the helper would not hide Qi Erfeng's enthusiasm at all. Qi Erfeng was obviously saying whether he was willing or not, but when the helper answered, he directly said that he was reluctant. This...... It's too explicit!
However, although I feel that I can't look at it directly, but now Zhou Hou has a request for others, so I can only treat it as if I didn't see it.
Qi Erfeng also felt a little embarrassed, but now she couldn't take care of it so much, Zhou Hou's worried look just now made her very moved, if her younger brother Xiaolong didn't hear from her for two days, it is estimated that Qi Erfeng would also die in a hurry. may be precisely because they have younger brothers and sisters, so Qi Erfeng will empathize in an instant.
Qi Erfeng continued: "Since this is the case, please also help the master to know everything, and say everything. ”
Obviously, Qi Erfeng knew that the helper knew a lot of secrets, but he didn't want to say it now.
Sure enough, after listening to Qi Erfeng's words, the first reaction was hesitation. However, when he looked up again, he saw the moving expectation in Qi Erfeng's eyes, and he couldn't help but be enthusiastic, and immediately nodded and promised: "Okay!" I'll be sure to help you get her back! ”
"Thank you, Leader!" Qi Erfeng was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Leader!" Zhou Hou also said happily. He really didn't expect the helper to agree so happily. Although his sister's whereabouts are unknown and may not have anything to do with the gang leader, the beggar gang has a large number of gang leaders and has plenty of eyes and ears, and if they are willing to agree to help, then his sister has a much better chance of being recovered.
The helper didn't care if Zhou Hou thanked him at all, he only cared about Qi Erfeng's thoughts. At this time, seeing the smile on Qi Erfeng's face, he also laughed stupidly.
"That'...... When will we hear from you? Qi Erfeng then asked. She knew that it was inconvenient for Zhou Hou to urge the beggar gang leader at this time, but Zhou Hou's heart must be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Therefore, Qi Erfeng simply did it to the end, and it was up to her to ask these tricky questions.
Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, Zhou Hou was so moved that tears were about to fall. Zhou Hou silently decided in his heart that Qi Erfeng, a friend, was made up for Zhou Hou in his life!
The helper immediately called a little beggar, and then whispered a few words to the little beggar, and the little beggar turned and ran out.
When the little beggar went out, the helper smiled and said to Qi Erfeng: "If Miss Qi doesn't dislike it, please have a meal here, and when we finish eating, it is estimated that the whereabouts of the girl in the family this week will be there." ”
Zhou Hou felt a little relieved.
Qi Erfeng smiled faintly, nodded and said, "Okay, then let's wait while eating, but, helper, what is delicious for you here?" You know, I'm a chef, and if you don't have good food, you can't keep me. ”
This is also a joke, it's all at this time, and it is impossible for Qi Erfeng to leave before he gets the news of the girl of the Zhou family. It's just that the helper used this trick to make Qi Erfeng stay for a while.
As soon as the gang leader heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said, "No problem! Miss Qi, you should have heard of our beggar gang's famous call for chickens, right? If you don't dislike it, today I will let you taste the most authentic called chicken in the world! ”
