Chapter Eighty-Nine: Caught off Guard

She is not a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with a spring girl, and she will exchange her precious youth for an unwarranted future.

What she needed was promises he didn't dare to give easily......

"I'm sorry, I can't afford to wait." She whispered.

Ye Zhiheng smiled miserably when he heard this, "I already knew ......" but still wanted to ask.

It was quiet in the carriage, and neither of them spoke again until the carriage stopped outside the gate of King Wei's mansion.

entered the mansion together, and when they reached a fork in the road, Ye Zhiheng suddenly stopped and stood on his back for a long time.

Qiu Bai stood behind him, quietly looking at his broad shoulders, waiting for him to speak.

After being silent for a long time, he suddenly raised his legs and left, without leaving a word.

Qiubai said what kind of feeling it was in his heart, it didn't hurt or itch, it was empty, as if the entire chest cavity was empty.

……

The business of the hot pot restaurant is getting better and better day by day, and the hotel is full of customers every day, and you have to queue up to sit down, and there are people coming and going during non-hotel hours.

In just half a month, all the money that was thrown into it had been earned.

After half a month of running-in, the guys in the store have a tacit understanding, and the shopkeeper Li has a very good set of management, so Qiubai and Qiuling don't need to worry about it at all.

The county lord of Chaoyang will come over every two or three days and order a big pot of hot pot, and one person can eat for an hour.

Yan Ning also came over from time to time, and said that he came to take care of his friend's business, but in fact, Qiubai knew that he just wanted to see the county lord of Chaoyang.

Due to the booming business, she expanded the store again, opening up the newly vacant store next to it and decorating it in the same style as before.

"Ping Pong" took almost a month to complete.

In June, the temperature rises sharply, and although there are many ice basins in the store, it is still very hot.

Qiu Bai originally thought that there would be a lot fewer guests on a hot day, but who knew that she was thinking too much, and it was true that there were fewer guests, but the meal was still full.

In these three months, she netted nearly five thousand taels of silver.

Five thousand taels! Qiubai flipped through the account book and couldn't believe that she had become a rich woman like this!

Even if the leaf is half of the time, then she still has two thousand five hundred taels!

The county lord of Chaoyang only came to eat hot pot once in four or five days, and in mid-June, she suddenly ran to the counter to chat with Qiubai.

"On such a hot day, I can't let people live!" She pursed her pink lips, and the maid next to her slowly fanned her.

"You haven't eaten! Fan quickly, fan hard! "When it's hot, people are a little impetuous.

Qiubai saw that her forehead was sweating constantly, and her face was flushed, so she comforted: "The heart is calm and naturally cool, you look at me, isn't it very leisurely."

Where can the county lord of Chaoyang listen, snatch the fan from the maid's hand, and fan it himself.

"My mother has a mountain villa with green trees, and it's too hot this day, so I'll leave there tomorrow to escape the heat."

Qiubai is very envious of her people who have a summer vacation and a mountain villa, "But I can only envy it." She joked casually.

The county lord of Chaoyang listened, "You can also go with me!" ”

Qiu Bai shook his head again and again after hearing this, "Forget it, I still have to look at my store." ”

"Scrooge! Even if you go, are you afraid that anyone will be greedy for your silver! ”

Shopkeeper Li was planning to plate on the side, and he was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

Seeing this, Qiu Bai gently pushed her and said in a low voice, "Speak more leisurely."

The county lord of Chaoyang didn't care, "Then are you going or not?" ”

"No, no." Qiubai's refusal was crisp and neat.

"If you don't go, I'll get a bunch of beggars to squat at the door of your store, so that you can't sell a pot!" The county lord of Chaoyang rolled his eyes and said with a villainous threat.

"Rape! Cheat! Qiu Bai was sullen, but she had to compromise, because she knew that the county lord of Chaoyang would definitely do this!

In her heart, in this world, in addition to family affection, the weight of silver is the heaviest! So as long as it is linked to silver, she will generally compromise easily.

"Are you going or not?"

"How long will it take to be back?"

"Half a month at most."

“……”

The next day, Qiubai didn't have time to clean up anything, so he took a change of clothes and followed the county lord of Chaoyang to Qinghu Villa, that is, Mrs. Lin's summer resort full of green trees.

The villa is located in a remote mountain forest, surrounded by large trees, and in some places there is no sunlight all year round.

As soon as a pair of people and horses entered the mountain forest, a cool air came to their faces, and the county lord of Chaoyang hurriedly lifted the curtains

"Whew~ It's so comfortable!"

Qiubai also lifted the curtains, and the cool breeze blowing in his face, coupled with the crisp birdsong, was indeed very comfortable.

The carriage walked around the mountains and forests for half an hour, and the number that had covered the sky and the sun suddenly disappeared, and a small stream suddenly appeared in front of it, and a small wooden bridge was built over the stream, and there were several simple courtyards behind the stream.

Looking at this scenery, Qiubai felt as if he had returned to Qingshui Village, the days when chickens and dogs barked, and the smoke curled and the food was fragrant.

Peaceful and comfortable.

She suddenly began to feel nostalgic for something she hadn't had in years before.

When you earn enough money, it seems to be a good choice to go back to Qingshui Village with your father, mother, brothers and sisters, and then live that idle life.

She thought, her eyes shining, and her heart was full of longing.

It's just that if it hadn't happened after that, she thought she would have been able to return to Qingshui Village without worry......

The carriage stopped in front of the small bridge, and the county lord of Chaoyang got out of the carriage first, followed by Qiubai.

Surrounded by streams and shaded by greenery, the sun shines in direct but the temperature is pleasant, making you want to move a deck chair and sleep here.

Raise your legs and step onto the small bridge, there is a trickle of clear water below, and a gust of wind passes, and the whole person is wrapped in that coolness.

"It's so cool! I don't even want to go back. The county lord of Chaoyang found a stone and sat down, looking at the surrounding scenery with a satisfied face.

Qiubai smiled playfully, "In this kind of deep mountain and old forest, there are the most snakes, insects, rats and ants, and the slender centipede, which is said to drill into people's ears when people are asleep, and as soon as they get in, they will make a nest in it, and then give birth to a nest of small centipedes, and drill in people's heads~ drill, drill~ drill and ......"

"He! White! The county lord of Chaoyang was numb when he heard this, and he jumped up and interrupted her.

Qiubai sat down on the stone, "Do you believe this?" ”

The county lord of Chaoyang said disdainfully: "Naturally I don't believe it!" But my heart is still numb......

"This village has been sprinkled with medicine, and those snakes, insects, rats and ants don't dare to climb in at all." The county lord of Chaoyang added another sentence.

Qiu Bai laughed out loud when he heard this.

The county lord of Chaoyang was so angry that he grinded his teeth.

In the time that the two were arguing, the maids had already cleaned up all the houses.

The two of them each chose their favorite courtyard to live in.

The days in the lodge are leisurely and pleasant.

Eat, sleep, and sleep every day, and when I am bored, I follow the county lord of Chaoyang to play around, pick wildfires, play with water, and play arbitrarily.

On the evening of the third day, it began to rain at 10 p.m.

These two days were too leisurely, and I slept until I woke up naturally in the morning, so Qiubai slept a little late at night.

That night, she had just blown the oil lamp, and just before the darkness fell, she saw a figure flash outside the window.

She touched her cold neck, thinking that there were a bunch of guards outside, and that she must be hallucinating, so she rolled over and got ready to sleep.

As soon as his head was next to the pillow, he heard a few shouts outside, and the sound of a clear fight.

Qiubai's sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, ran to the hall and opened the door to look out.

It was black and mushy, and only a few swaying figures could be faintly seen.

"Who dares to be presumptuous here! If you want to die, you can't find a pit! This voice was made by the guards brought by the county lord of Chaoyang.

As the warning sounded down, a cluster of fire suddenly swept up, followed by two and three clusters, and in a few moments the courtyard was illuminated.

Because of the rain, the torches were planted on the porch, and although they were covered by eaves, the rain still smashed the torches from side to side, and always swayed and lit again when they were about to be extinguished.

The dozens of torches took a clear picture of the fighting figures, each dressed in black and covered with a black scarf.

Qiubai was dazzled, and he didn't know who was who at all.

When the guard saw that his warnings had been ignored, his heart was on fire.

With a wave of his hand, he wanted to take down all the black-clothed people who were fighting, but as soon as he rushed into the battle group, they all flew out.

This! ……

Qiu Bai was frightened and took a step back, the reason why he was so bold just now was not to see that the county lord of Chaoyang had brought so many guards, and she could be an errand by her side as the county lord, that skill must not be too bad, how could she have been killed by others.

She looked left and right, trying to find a safe place to hide, afraid of being touched.

At this moment, a strong wind blew, and the door of the hall was blown open, and the light of the fire entered the room, exposing Qiubai's entire body to the air.

Her heart tightened, her legs trembled, and the sentence "Big brother spare his life!" "It's already on her lips, who knows that the gang of men in black is too focused on fighting, and no one pays attention to her who is scared like a dog.

She stood up trembling and swished, and drilled under the table beside her, but she didn't know what she stepped on, and slipped to the ground with a "plop".

All of a sudden, she fell firmly, and it took her a long time to get up.

At this time, the man in black who was fighting also entered a state of anxiety, and there were already four men in black lying on the ground, and there was bright red blood flowing down the sink in the corner of the house.

At this time, I saw a man in black stepping on another man in black, flying up, and stabbing the man in black in front of him with a sword.

The man in black hurriedly retreated, dodging the fatal blow in time, but the black scarf on his face was torn and broken in the middle.

Qiu Bai couldn't help but look over, and in the faint firelight, Ye Zhiheng's handsome face crashed into her sight so suddenly.

She just stood in the hall so fixedly, watching him attack quickly in the rain and turn around to dodge, but he didn't move.

Every time he narrowly dodged those attacks, her clenched heart loosened slightly, and as the fight became more and more intense, her heart clenched into a lump again. 2k reading web
