Chapter 38: The Strange Inn

Early the next morning, while having breakfast, Xi Yan suddenly wanted to stop talking and peeked at Qiao Xuan several times.

"If you have something to say," Qiao Xuan said with a big grin.

"I heard someone say in the morning that those three people died yesterday, and they were out of gas when they arrived in town yesterday," Xi Yan said as she paid attention to Qiao Xuan's expression.

"Oh!" Qiao Xuan responded with a lack of interest.

Xi Yan took the chopsticks in her hand, it seems that Qiao Xuan has known it for a long time.

The family didn't buy much to eat last time, and after eating, Qiao Xuan took Xi Yan to the town, while Xi He went to keep an eye on the people who were building the road.

At the entrance of the village, Zhao Tian's attitude towards Qiao Xuan has changed greatly, although he has not bullied the original owner before, he is also indifferent to the original owner.

This time, before Qiao Xuan came to him, he greeted with a smile: "The village chief is here!" ”

"How much money does it cost to go to town for two people?" Qiao Xuan asked with a smile.

Zhao Tian seemed to be intending to please Qiao Xuan, and hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no money!" It's all a village, and when you say money, you can see the outside. ”

The corners of Xi Yan's lips hooked slightly, and it didn't seem like these words could come out of the mouths of people in Taoyuan Village.

Qiao Xuan took out ten cents from his pocket, "Take it!" Otherwise, I'll be embarrassed to take your car next time. ”

In addition to farming and doing some casual work in the town, Zhao Tian's family relied on ox carts to earn money, and they were the kind of people who lived a tight life in Taoyuan Village.

Seeing the ten cents handed over by Qiao Xuan, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, don't accept it, that's ten cents, take it, he wants to buy Qiao Xuan again.

Face to face, Qiao Xuan saw a faint black aura in the center of the man's eyebrows in front of him, a faint bruise under his right eye, heavy dark circles, white lips, and no spirit in the whole person.

"That'sβ€”then I'll take it!"

In his hesitation, Qiao Xuan had already stepped forward and forcefully stuffed ten cents into his hand.

After the ox cart walked on the road for a while, "What's wrong?" Xi Yan asked with some confusion when she saw Qiao Xuan staring at the back of Zhao Tian's head.

Qiao Xuan didn't answer Xi Yan but asked Zhao Tian who was driving the car in front, "Nothing happened at home recently, right?" ”

Zhao Tian thought that Qiao Xuan was talking to Xi Yan, but after waiting for a while, Xi Yan's voice didn't sound, and then he realized that Qiao Xuan was asking him.

He looked back in a fog, "Noβ€”no! ”

Why do you ask this in a good way? He thought to himself.

"It's good if you don't have it" Qiao Xuan smiled and said no more.

Zhao Tian turned around and continued to catch the car, and when he got close to the town, he seemed to have nails under his buttocks, and moved from time to time.

The "village chief" was finally at the entrance of the town, and he couldn't help but open his mouth awkwardly, looking very embarrassed.

Qiao Xuan: "What's the matter?"

Xi Yan also stared at Zhao Tian with a curious expression, wondering what he was doing so unnaturally.

Zhao Tian's ears were red, "Can I also go to repair the road?" ”

Qiao Xuan didn't speak, and a pair of black and transparent eyes fell on Zhao Tian's face.

"I'm justβ€”I don't need to be paid," Zhao Tian gritted his teeth and said.

Xi Yan's expression was stunned for a moment, don't want money? Doing white work? Why is that? She'd never seen such a stupid person anyway.

"Yes!" There was silence for a moment, and just when Zhao Tian thought that Qiao Xuan would not agree, she spoke.

There was a flash of joy in his eyes, and then the joy was quickly drowned out by loss.

After separating from the ox cart on the street, Xi Yan asked puzzledly: "Why didn't he come to build the road without pay?" It's weird! ”

"Because he wants to make money!"

Qiao Xuan smiled, Xi Yan was stunned, and suddenly realized, "Are you saying that he is talking back?" ”

Qiao Xuan nodded, "He's testing my attitude." ”

I have to say that this Zhao Tian is honest on the outside, but his mind is delicate and deep.

"He wanted you to say that he would be paid the same as everyone else, but you didn't say that, so would he come and build the road?"

Xi Yan grabbed her hair, thinking about Zhao Tian's reaction just now.

"I don't know! Anyway, the choice is in his hands, and if he is paid to him like everyone else, if he is afraid that he will work in vain and does not come, he will lose the opportunity. ”

Whether he comes or not is up to him.

Xi Yan was shocked in her heart, how fast Qiao Xuan reacted! In such a short period of time, he had already thought of everything, and even gave Zhao Tian a temptation.

"What's going on at Zhao Tian's house?" After the two walked through the crowd for a while, Xi Yan remembered the question Qiao Xuan asked in the car.

"Zhao Tian's moon horn is blue and dark, which is a sign of illness among the elders, but he said that there is nothing at home, and it is estimated that the symptoms have not yet emerged!"

Qiao Xuan didn't treat Xi Yan as an outsider, so he patiently explained, "This is also the reason why I am willing to give him a chance." ”

After all, Zhao Tian is not a big traitor.

Xi Yan's heart softened, the events of the past two days made her think that Qiao Xuan was an indifferent person.

ignored Qiao Xuan's rescue in the tavern, in the prison, and took in herself and her brother, thinking of this, she felt a sense of guilt in her heart.

Qiao Xuan is a kind person, but those people in Taoyuan Village are too bad, so Qiao Xuan treats them coldly, they deserve it!

"Benefactor, I finally see you again!"

When I passed by the door of the rouge shop last time, a happy voice came out from inside.

Qiao Xuan and Xi Yan glanced at each other, and at the same time looked at the boss lady who was looking at them with a smile.

I haven't seen her for a few days, and the proprietress has a lot of ruddy complexion.

"Boss lady" Qiao Xuan greeted with a smile, "You look good lately!" ”

"Thanks to the help of the benefactor" The proprietress smiled and stretched out her hand to pull Qiao Xuan and Xi Yan into the shop, "The rouge gouache in my shop is good, and there are some jewelry, you two see what you like, I'll give it to you." ”

"No need, boss, thank you for your kindness" Qiao Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and said to the enthusiastic and overwhelmed boss.

At this time, Wang Qing, the owner of the rouge shop, came back, and his eyes lit up when he saw Qiao Xuan.

"I was about to go to Taoyuan Village to find a benefactor, but the benefactor actually came, Brother He was saved!"

"What's wrong with He Wu?" The proprietress had a serious expression.

"There was an accident in his shop, and I just went to find out, and I heard his description and thought of our benefactor, thinking that the benefactor could think of ideas."

After Wang Qing finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Qiao Xuan, "Don't worry, don't worry, He Wu's family runs an inn, and he won't be stingy in terms of remuneration." ”

"Hmmm! Let's go and see with you. ”

has nothing to do with the reward, if something strange happens to Qiao Xuan, if there is no special reason, Qiao Xuan must take care of it, this is the rule of this industry.

On one of the busiest streets in the town, an inn was deserted at this time, there was not a single guest, and the surrounding shops were lively and lively, and the guests came and went, but their house seemed a little abrupt.
