Chapter 235: Temptation
Hearing Li Qing's voice, Lao Lai came back to his senses, shook his head slightly, and said unhurriedly: "You just came back, and there are a lot of things in the teahouse, and I have something I want to hand over to you here." ”
"Boss, please." Hearing this, Li Qing arched his hand and said.
"You are not here for a while, but there are no less people in the teahouse, so I have let someone take over your work, but I think you are loyal and honest, why don't you just follow me?" After thinking about it, Lao Lai said his purpose.
To be honest, he was indeed a little suspicious of the person in front of him, but he also saw Li Qing's performance for so long, so it was better to keep him by his side, and he could observe him better, so he thought about it and came up with this method.
Hearing Lao Lai's words, Li Qing's heart chuckled, slightly surprised, but with a touch of joy on his face: "The owner is serious? ”
Seeing that Li Qing's happy appearance did not seem to be a fake, Lao Lai began to question whether he doubted whether Li Qing's idea was wrong, but since the words were said, Lao Lai continued to speak: "Well, you will follow me in the future, okay, you just come back now, go and pack up your things, come and find me." ”
After Lao Lai finished speaking, he looked at him deeply before turning to leave.
Looking at the figure of Lao Lai leaving, Li Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief slightly, and there was a hint of deep thought in his eyes.
It seems that Lao Lai is a little suspicious of him, and he is just keeping himself by his side for better surveillance, and Lao Lai himself has to take advantage of this time to dispel Lao Lai's doubts before he can make the next step.
Thinking so, Li Qing walked towards his house with his baggage, packed up his things, and then came over to find Wang Yan and briefly told him about the recent events.
The two were talking, Lao Lai actually came over, fortunately, Li Qing reacted flexibly, and said in a natural voice: "The owner said that I will follow him in the future, don't worry, we are fellow countrymen, I will naturally think about you, you behave well, I have the opportunity to say two good words for you in front of the owner, and strive for our brothers to continue to be together." ”
Hearing Li Qing say this, Wang Yan's reaction was not slow, his face showed a touch of joy, and he said a little incredulously: "It's still your brother who is interesting enough, and I'll invite you to drink when the time comes." ”
"What are you two talking about?" Lao Lai had already listened to the words of the two people, and then suddenly approached and spoke.
"The owner? How did you end up here? Hearing Lao Lai's voice, the two of them stood there with a sense of embarrassment on their faces that they had been caught, a little at a loss.
Taking the reactions of the two people into his eyes, he said lightly: "When I came over, I wanted you to follow me to a nearby inn for a meal, let's go." ”
After finishing speaking, Lao Lai turned around and left first, and after Li Qing reacted, he hurriedly followed.
Wang Yan looked at the figures of the two people leaving, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it was so dangerous that he was almost discovered.
Li Qing followed Lao Lai to an inn, Lao Lai ordered two dishes and ate them without hurry, Li Qing stood behind Lao Lai, lowered his head and looked at his nose and nose without saying a word, and the atmosphere was silent and a little weird.
Lao Lai ate there without saying a word, Li Qing was thinking about something else, it seemed that Lao Lai had indeed suspected him, fortunately, he reacted quickly just now, otherwise he and Wang Yan would have been caught.
"Sit down and eat together." Lao Lai's voice broke the silence in the air and made Li Qing's heart chuckle.
After thinking about it for a while, he said with some sincere fear: "No, I am a fellow, how can I eat with you." ”
Hearing Li Qing's words, Lao Lai nodded, seemed to be extremely satisfied with Li Qing's answer, and asked casually: "By the way, do you know martial arts, if you know martial arts, why don't you be by my side to protect me?" ”
When the words fell, Li Qing touched the back of his head a little honestly: "The owner laughed, how could I be a farmer with that kind of thing, at most I have more strength, if the owner asks me to move some things, it's okay, but I can't let me fight." ”
After listening to Li Qing's words, he didn't get the information he wanted, which made him a little suspicious in his heart, was he really too suspicious, could it be that Li Qing was really not the person he saw at that time?
Thinking so, Lao Lai put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up and said, "Okay, I'm full, let's go." ”
After finishing speaking, Lao Lai took the lead in walking towards the door, and Li Qing responded and followed behind Lao Lai, but he kept a heart in his heart.
At that time, in order to avoid the pursuit of Lao Lai, he also used light skills, exposing the fact that he knew martial arts, and what Lao Lai asked just now is probably to test it, it seems that he knows martial arts, and he really has to hide it.
Since then, Li Qing has followed Lao Lai almost step by step, where Lao Lai goes, let him follow, such an honor makes many people in the teahouse envious and jealous of Li Qing, watching him become a celebrity in front of the owner, and everyone praises him for his good fortune and is so valued by the owner.
However, only Li Qing knows how scared he is when he follows Lao Lai, and he has to guard against Lao Lai's cold temptation every day, which makes his nerves highly tense, and he is afraid that he will say something without leaking his mouth.
However, looking at Lao Lai's eyes looking at him, he gradually relaxed his guard, and Li Qing's heart was relieved at the same time.
On this day, Lao Lai took Li Qing out as usual, and the two of them walked leisurely on the street, listening to the hawkers on both sides of the street, and wandering around aimlessly.
This made Li Qing slightly suspicious in his heart, Lao Lai is not like such an idle person, and the only explanation is that this may be another temptation.
Thinking like this, Li Qing's heart sighed slightly, but his mind was tense, and he didn't know what the situation would be this time.
Sure enough, as Li Qing expected, when the two of them walked to a somewhat remote street corner, a man in black suddenly rushed out of the corner, holding a bright long sword and stabbing at Lao Lai.
Li Qing's eyes flickered slightly, and between the lightning and flint, he quickly ran to Lao Lai's front and blocked him behind him, but he took the sword hard, and the sharp long sword pierced Li Qing's shoulder, and blood stains oozed out after a while.
Beads of sweat the size of beans flowed from Li Qing's forehead, and he gritted his teeth and said to the old man behind him: "Run away." ”
Listening to Li Qing's voice, a touch of complicated emotions flashed in Lao Lai's eyes, and he turned around and ran out in one direction, and the man in black also wanted to chase him out, but he was hugged by Li Qing.
Seeing this, the man in black paused, put away the long sword in his hand, and said coldly: "I don't want to kill you, you'd better let me go." ”
Feeling a faint pain in the wound on his shoulder, Li Qing still gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to kill me, the owner will kill me first." ”
faintly felt that this incident might be another temptation, and he couldn't tell where Lao Lai was watching, so Li Qing hugged the waist of the man in black and didn't let go.
Hearing Li Qing's words, the eyes of the man in black gradually darkened, and he said coldly: "Since this is the case, then don't blame me." ”
After finishing speaking, a hand knife slashed at his neck, and Li Qing only felt that he fainted as soon as his eyes were dark.
Seeing Li Qing lying on the ground, Lao Lai in the dark also walked out, looked at the two people in front of him, and asked the man in black in a cold voice, "How is it?" ”
Hearing this, the man in black shook his head and said with a serious expression: "I don't know martial arts." ”
From his action of blocking the sword just now, it can be seen that Li Qing is a person who does not know martial arts at all, otherwise he would not faint on the ground now, and the wound on his shoulder is not light, if he knows martial arts, he will not let such a heavy wound on his body.
The two of them were speculating here, but they didn't know how hard Li Qing had to create such an illusion that he didn't know martial arts.
"Got it, send him back." Lao Lai nodded, and when he was about to leave, he turned his head and said, "By the way, let someone show him the wound on his shoulder." ”
"Yes." The man in black answered, carrying Li Qing and flying away.
Looking at the figures of the two people leaving, Lao Lai's eyes flickered slightly.
When Li Qing woke up, the surrounding environment made him realize that he was in his own room in the teahouse, and he moved his body slightly, accidentally pulling the wound on his shoulder, and couldn't help but exhale in pain.
I closed my eyes slightly, not knowing what I was thinking.
After a long time, he got up and got out of bed cautiously, cleaned up briefly and walked towards Lao Lai's house.
Knocking on the door and hearing a sound coming from the house, Li Qing's footsteps paused, opened the door and walked in.
Hearing the voice, Lao Lai raised his head, and when he saw Li Qing, his face was slightly surprised, and he hurriedly said, "Why are you here?" How's your injury? Hurry up and sit down. ”
After the words fell, Li Qing shook his head slightly, and said in a somewhat weak voice: "I'm fine, I just woke up and thought about coming over to see if the owner is okay, the man in black didn't hurt you, right?" ”
Hearing this, Lao Lai's eyes flickered slightly, shook his head and said: "That's not true, when I ran back to find a rescuer to bring someone over, I saw you lying on the ground, and the man in black was also subdued by the person I brought with me, so I wasn't injured." ”
"That's good, I'll go back first if there's nothing else to do." Li Qing nodded, looking relieved.
"I left you and ran away, you won't blame me, will you?" Lao Lai's fingers flexed slightly, slammed the table, and said tentatively.
