Chu Qingxiao looked back when he heard the voice.

I saw an old couple standing behind them, both of whom were kind and kind-eyed.

Chu Qingxiao looked at them, only feeling that his face was raw, and he had no impression.

"I am, what's the matter with the two of you?" Chu Qingxiao asked suspiciously.

The two who got the response immediately smiled, and the old man hurriedly said: "Young Master Chu, my wife and I are both residents of Shanshuigou. ”

"The two of us who are old and immortal rely on a small piece of land in the mountain ditch to shelter from the wind and rain, and make some steamed bun pies to sell outside on weekdays to make a little money to make a living."

"If it weren't for you, Master Chu, who kept the mountain ditch, my wife and I would have been displaced by now, and there would be no way to live a long time ago......"

The old man's voice trembled a little as he spoke, and the old woman beside him was obviously inconvenient in her legs and feet, and even a little bad at words, but she just bowed her hand towards Chu Qingxiao.

Such a scene, on the way back from the Seven Halls Trial, it was not the first time that Chu Qingxiao had encountered it.

Many residents of Shanshuigou pulled Chu Qingxiao excitedly, telling them their gratitude to Chu Qingxiao.

It was hard for Chu Qingxiao to imagine what kind of means the people of Spiegel Terrace used to make so many people in Tianhang City so grateful to him.

Chu Qingxiao secretly felt ashamed, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only find a way to get out as soon as possible, he took a lot of effort to escape from the crowd and walk home with everyone, but he didn't want to meet the couple in front of him again.

"I heard that Chu Gongzi was hated by the people of Tianhang Mountain because of the matter of helping us with the mountain ditch, and suffered a catastrophe, my wife and I stayed awake all night, fortunately, Chu Gongzi Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he can be regarded as safely through this ......catastrophe," the old man continued.

When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart.

I probably figured it out.

He did offend Liuhuan Peak in the matter of Shanshuigou, but this matter has been settled because of Sun Li's death and the arrival of Mu Nanshan.

The seven halls of trial he encountered, in the final analysis, was only because he revealed his identity and was involved in the incident of Wuling City more than ten years ago, so he was surrounded by all parties.

And the reason why the people of Shanshuigou are so indignant is probably the result of this Spiegel's deliberate rendering.

He frowned slightly, feeling that this matter was inappropriate.

But he is the biggest beneficiary of this matter, and he doesn't seem to have a good position to criticize Spiegel.

"Childe's great kindness, we can't repay it, please accept my husband and wife!" The old man said this, pulled his wife, and was about to kneel down towards Chu Qingxiao.

Chu Qingxiao was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support the two of them, and said, "The old gentleman and the old woman are serious. ”

"I just did some small things, and I didn't dare to be worshiped by the second elder......"

Chu Qingxiao's original intention was to say that his contribution to the Shanshuigou case was not great, but these words became Chu Qingxiao's humble words to the ears of the two old men.

On the contrary, they became more and more excited, insisting on thanking Chu Qingxiao.

But Chu Qingxiao was already ashamed, and how could he dare to be worshiped by the two, and the two sides were deadlocked for a while.

The two old men couldn't resist Chu Qingxiao, so they could only give up.

"Chu Gongzi is kind-hearted and doesn't want to hold the husband and wife's worship, so that's it." The old man shook his head and smiled, and after a change of words, he brought a bag of bags from not far away, and said, "But this thing, no matter what, Master Chu has to accept it." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the bag directly.

Chu Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, almost subconsciously wanting to excuse himself, but the old man seemed to see through Chu Qingxiao's thoughts, and said: "Childe don't worry, this is not a valuable thing......

"My wife and I don't have any precious things, our husband and wife live early in the Tianhang City by selling steamed buns and pies, the craftsmanship is not bad, today I made some pies, sent them to Chu Gongzi, just when we have a little heart."

"If Gongzi Chu is unwilling to accept this little bit of thought, my wife and I will really have trouble sleeping!"

When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he also understood that the other party had made up his mind.

He opened his bag and saw more than a dozen oil-paper bags in it.

Chu Qingxiao took out one and opened it, only to see that there were four or five pies neatly placed inside, each of which had a thin skin and thick filling, and before it was eaten, it tasted fragrant.

"Childe taste?" At this moment, the old woman who had barely said anything after meeting suddenly looked at Chu Qingxiao expectantly and said.

Chu Qingxiao didn't want to disappoint the old man after all, so he took out one bite and bit it, and suddenly felt that his lips and teeth were fragrant.

"Well, it's delicious." He looked at the old man and said.

When the old woman heard this, a smile appeared on her face.

"If Childe likes it, I'll send some to Childe every once in a while." She said with a smile.

Seeing her so happy, Chu Qingxiao finally stopped refusing.

He liked the smile on the old woman's face in his heart, just like Aunt Liu in the bun shop next to his house when he was in Wuling City.

is fierce on weekdays, but as long as someone praises her steamed buns for being delicious, she will have such a smile on her face.

Chu Qingxiao secretly thought that it would be a big deal to pay the old man more money in the future, so he nodded: "Then it will bother my mother-in-law." ”

The smile on the old woman's face became brighter when she heard this, and she waved her hand again and again: "It should be, it should be." ”

After saying this, the old woman hesitated again, and suddenly said, "Actually, ......"

As soon as she said this, the old man on the side grabbed her, glared at the old woman with a serious gaze, and forced the old woman back before she could speak.

It's just that Chu Qingxiao, who was eating pies at the moment, didn't notice the strangeness of the husband and wife.

……

Next, Chu Qingxiao talked with the two old men for a while, and then the two left.

Seeing the two walking away, Chu Qingxiao carried the heavy bag of pies sent by the other party, and felt a little emotion in his heart.

He knew a little about the situation in the mountain gully.

Most of the people who lived there were destitute, and the clothes worn by the old couple were also tattered and patched.

It is conceivable that their lives are probably not easy, this bag of pies, perhaps for Chu Qingxiao, as long as he spends a few taels of silver, he can easily buy more and better.

But for this old couple who live by buying and selling, this bag of pies may be the most precious and best gift for them.

Most of the people in this world are like that.

As long as you are willing to do something small for him, he will keep it in mind and then repay you a hundredfold and a thousandfold.

Not because they're stupid, but because there are very few people in this world who can do this to them......

Chu Qingxiao's heart sighed, Song Qingqing walked to Chu Qingxiao's side at this time, she looked up and looked at the back of the old couple leaving, but her brows furrowed slightly, and said: "Brother Qingxiao, what do you say these people are trying to do?" ”

"The price of this place in Tianhang City is high, and if you stay here, isn't it exploited by Tianhang Mountain? It's better to move out of this place sooner than this precarious, right? They're all at this age, so they can't still think about entering the inner door, right? ”

Song Qingqing has always spoken straightforwardly, not because he was dissatisfied with the couple, but he simply didn't understand why they still stayed in Tianhang City even though they were already working so hard.

Faced with Song Qingqing's doubts, Chu Qingxiao shook his head, he naturally couldn't give an answer, he just said: "Everyone has their own ideas or difficulties, the way Tianhang City looks like it is now, the responsibility is not for them, but for the high-level people of Tianhang Mountain, and the court ...... of Tianhang Mountain."

"Qingqing doesn't have to criticize them."

Song Qingqing said: "I don't blame them, I just don't understand that there are so many people in Tianhang City this day, and they obviously know that staying here is to be treated as a slave by Tianhang Mountain, constantly squeezing, but these people are dissatisfied, but they also sharpen their heads and want to squeeze in and become a part of the oppression of them, doesn't Brother Qingxiao think it's sad?" ”

Chu Qingxiao was silent about this.

He didn't know how to respond......

"Brother Chu......" And at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side.

Hearing this, Chu Qingxiao looked sideways at his side, only to see Zhu Quan coming to his side at some point.

Seeing this, Chu Qingxiao hurriedly replied: "Brother Zhu, for today's incident, thank you Brother Zhu for running away, and I got away with it in the next ......."

Zhu Quan's eyes subconsciously glanced at Meng Jin on the side, and saw that the other party was chatting with Xue Sanniang about something, and he didn't seem to be aware of his arrival, Zhu Quan was slightly disappointed, but he didn't take the initiative to say anything, but looked at Chu Qingxiao and said: "Brother Chu is polite, I just did what I should do." ”

"Brother Chu has a great kindness to me, don't say it's such a trivial matter, just want Zhu Quan to repay him with his life, and Zhu Quan will never hesitate!"

Zhu Quan said very solemnly, Chu Qingxiao waved his hand again and again: "Brother Zhu can't say this kind of thing in the future, I never thought of blackmailing Entu to repay him, and what he did was just as he pleased." ”

"This is what I admire most about Brother Chu." Zhu Quan smiled, and then changed his words again, and said, "Is Brother Chu free today?" ”

"Nothing to do for a while? Brother Zhu, is there something wrong? Chu Qingxiao was a little puzzled.

Zhu Quan's face was straight, and he said: "My Mr. Meng wants to meet Brother Chu. ”
