Li Qing shook his head slightly, looked at Lao Lai with a serious face and said, "No wonder, as a guy in the store, I naturally have the responsibility and obligation to protect you, as long as you are not harmed." ”

Hearing Li Qing's words, Lao Lai was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Qing, with a slight apology in his eyes, and said, "This matter is also my negligence, don't worry, you don't have to worry about the things in the teahouse during the period when you are recuperating from your injuries, take care of your body first, this is thirty taels of silver, and it will be regarded as your medical expenses." ”

Looking at the burden handed over by Lao Lai, Li Qing hurriedly waved his hand and excused himself: "Boss, you hurry up and take it back, I can't accept this, the owner has already made me grateful for taking me and my fellow countryman in, how can I take your money." ”

Unexpectedly, this action involved the wound on his shoulder, which made him can't help but "hiss" softly.

Ignoring Li Qing's words, he put the silver in his hand on the head of Li Qing's bed and said, "You just take it, this is what you deserve, besides, don't you still have a mother at home to support?" It's all about money. ”

Seeing that Lao Lai's face was serious, and hearing his words again, Li Qing was slightly puzzled in his heart, but his face moved slightly, and he looked a little moved.

"Since this is the case, then thank the owner, and when I get better, I will repay the owner."

Li Qing's words greatly satisfied Lao Lai's vanity, a satisfied smile crossed his eyes, and he nodded and said, "You can take care of your injuries, I'll deal with things first." ”

After finishing speaking, Lao Lai stood up slowly and walked towards the door without hurrying.

After Lao Lai left, Li Qing opened the burden that Lao Lai had brought over, and sure enough, it was full of white silver.

This not only did not make Li Qing feel ecstatic, but a wave of doubts surged in his heart, and he felt a little puzzled by Lao Lai's approach.

Didn't Lao Lai feel that he had slandered himself, and his conscience couldn't get over it so much money to compensate him?

But he doesn't look like such a kind person, could he be playing some kind idea in his heart?

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of any signs, shook his head, put away the silver and put it on the head of the bed, and lay down to close his eyes and rest.

Anyway, the soldiers will cover up the water, besides, the wound on his shoulder is not serious, and it is okay to say that it is okay, anyway, Lao Lai has already spoken, so it is better to take this opportunity to take a good rest.

Since then, Li Qing has been recuperating in the teahouse with peace of mind, ignoring external affairs, and Lao Lai has never suspected Li Qing, and occasionally comes to visit.

After a few more days, the wound on Li Qing's body was almost healed, and he was about to go to Lao Lai to talk about it, when he just walked out, the housekeeper came over: "Is your body well?" ”

Hearing the housekeeper's words, Li Qing smiled a little innocently: "Oh, I'm a rural person, my body is very hard, and I'll be fine after a few days of rest." ”

Seeing this, the housekeeper nodded and continued to speak: "The owner said to go find him if you are well, he is upstairs now." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Qing answered and walked upstairs, and the housekeeper also turned to leave.

After arriving upstairs, Li Qing came to Lao Lai's door, knocked on the door, and Lao Lai's voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

Hearing this, Li Qing calmed down slightly, and then pushed open the door and walked in: "Dongjia, are you looking for me?" ”

It seems that the person is Li Qing, Lao Lai put down the problem in his hand, looked at Li Qing with a smile on his face and said, "Are you here?" Are you feeling better? ”

Li Qing suppressed the doubts in his heart, bowed his hand respectfully and said, "Lao Dongjia is worried, it's almost good." ”

"That's good, to compensate you, I'll take you to a good place." Lao Lai said, stood up, cleaned up the things on the table, walked in front of Li Qing, and said with a chuckle.

I don't know why, looking at the smile on Lao Lai's face, Li Qing's heart chuckled, and he had a bad premonition, so he said with some sincere fear: "The owner, you are polite, this is what I should do." ”

Unexpectedly, Lao Lai ignored Li Qing's words at all, and still looked at Li Qing with a smile and said, "It's okay, come with me, it's a good place." ”

Seeing that Lao Lai was so persistent, Li Qing didn't have much to say, even if he felt that there was something wrong with the place where Lao Lai was going to take him, he could only resign himself to going with him.

After saying that, Li Qing followed Lao Lai out of the teahouse, and came to a brightly lit attic, and smelled a smell of rouge gouache coming from inside from a long distance, which made Li Qing couldn't help frowning.

Looking at a group of coolly dressed women in front of the door holding a handkerchief in their hands to greet customers, Li Qing's heart unconsciously showed a feeling of disgust.

Gritted his teeth and looked at the old man on the side and said, "Boss, do we want to go in?" ”

"Well, well, that's a good place." Hearing Li Qing's words, a glimmer of light flashed in Lao Lai's eyes, and he looked at Li Qing with a smile and said.

Some time ago, he tried his best to test Li Qing, but in the end nothing came out, despite this, he still had an indescribable feeling for Li Qing in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong.

After much consideration, Lai decided to test him one last time, and if there was no problem, then he should send some more people to find that person.

Thinking of the person who listened to his conversation clearly, Lao Lai's face couldn't help but be a little gloomy, it was really a shame that he sent so many people and didn't catch those two people.

After listening to Lao Lai's words, Li Qing's complexion changed slightly, and the corner of his eyes kept looking at Lao Lai's face, wanting to know what the hell he was doing.

When he saw the change in the expression on Lao Lai's face, Li Qing suddenly felt a little clear in his heart, it seemed that if he wanted to dispel Lao Lai's doubts, he could only enter here.

Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Li Qing shook his head slightly, his expression was a little uneasy, and his eyes were a little evasive and said to Lao Lai: "It's true that this is a good place, but I'm a guy in a store, so it's not appropriate to go in." ”

"What's wrong, you saved my life, what's the point, let's go, follow me in." When he saw the eagerness in Li Qing's eyes, Lao Lai hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and after he finished speaking, he walked straight in.

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, a trace of struggle appeared on his face, and finally he took a deep breath and followed Lao Lai in, he knew that if he didn't go in this time, he was afraid that it would deepen Lao Lai's suspicions.

As for what he said just now, Li Qing just listened to it and passed it, if Lao Lai confirmed that he was the one who was chased by him, he was afraid that no matter what he didn't save his life, I was afraid that he would kill him first.

Thinking so, Li Qing sighed slightly in his heart, and quickened his pace to keep up with Lao Lai's pace.

As soon as the two of them walked in, an old bustard with heavy makeup came over, waved the handkerchief in his hand at Lao Lai and Li Qing, and said with a somewhat concerned face: "The two masters are here, hurry up and invite them in the house, come and serve the two masters." ”

As soon as the words fell, several women standing at the door on the side surrounded them, and the strong smell of rouge gouache made Li Qing frown unconsciously, and subconsciously took two steps back, keeping a distance from these people.

Such an action fell in the eyes of the old bustard, and the lack made her face full of interest: "This is the first time for this master, right?" ”

Lao Lai smiled slightly: "Whether it's the first time you come or not, as long as you have been here, you will know the benefits of this gentle township." ”

As he spoke, he walked in with the two women in his arms, and at the same time did not forget to open his mouth and said to the old bustard behind him: "By the way, Mom, remember to find him an Oiran." ”

After finishing speaking, Lao Lai glanced at Li Qing meaningfully, with a smile on his face, looking a little subtle: "I'll go up first, you come to me later, let's find someone who is pleasing to the eye first." ”

As soon as the words fell, he walked upstairs with a few women around him, and the various ambiguous voices around him made Li Qing's face slightly dark.

To be honest, he was really bored with this place, and if it weren't for the old man's doubts, he would never have stepped into this place in his life.

He took a deep breath and said to the old bustard on the side, "Which one?" ”

Hearing this, the old bustard was slightly stunned, and after reacting, he hid his face and smiled, waved his hand in one direction, and said loudly: "Girls, come and pick up the guests." ”

When the words fell, a group of flowery women rushed over from which direction, standing in front of Li Qing in a row scratching their heads and posing, posing in what they thought was the most charming and seductive pose.

Such a scene made Li Qing's heart couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, but he still sighed resignedly, raised his head and glanced at a few people in front of him, and casually pointed at a woman who didn't look so charming: "Just want this." ”

"Okay, Huaxiang, you follow this son, remember to satisfy this son."

The old bustard threw another wink at Li Qing, and then turned around and left with the rest of the women.

When a few people left, Hua Xiang glanced at the man in front of him who seemed to be a little loyal and honest, and smiled: "Childe, come with me." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and took the lead in walking upstairs, Li Qing glanced at her background with a complicated face, and raised his heels.

When the two of them arrived in the house, Lao Lai was laughing and playing with several women, and the whole room was filled with a sound of glamour.
