Chapter 17: The Hidden Story

On the bustling and lively street, Yun Yi, who looked puzzled, frowned and stood quietly in front of the closed door.

"Xiaoyi!" In the anxious shout, the fat fortune with the pigtails on his bare head hurriedly ran over, followed by a panting little fat man.

"Xiaoyi, what's wrong with you, why did you get wet all over?" Fei Cai looked at Yun Yi's embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help frowning slightly and hurriedly asked.

The little fat man also looked at Yun Yi nervously and worriedly: "Brother Yi, are you okay?"

"Fatty, little fatty, I'm fine!It's just that I accidentally fell into the river," turned around and saw Fatty Cai and Little Fat Yunyi, shook his head and spoke calmly, he didn't want to say much about what happened in the Yanlou. Yun Yi looked at the two fat men standing side by side in front of him, one big and one small, and couldn't help but smile. These two guys look like brothers at once.

Fei Cai looked at Yun Yi with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but say angrily: "You still laugh out?" Go, hurry up and go to my house with me first, change this clothes first, if you get typhoid fever, it will be troublesome." ”

Yun Yi, who nodded slightly, did not refuse, it was indeed inconvenient for him to go home like this now.

The town is not big, and the three of them came to Feicai's house after a short time.

In the spacious courtyard, there are a few blue brick houses, and the fat rich family is much larger than the small broken yard of Yun Yi's house.

However, the whole yard was filled with fish hanging to dry, and a fishy smell permeated, making Yun Yi cover his nose lightly.

"Xiaoyi, I'm sorry, I forgot that you don't like this fishy smell," Fei Cai, who smiled embarrassedly, said and hurriedly took Yun Yi and the little fat head to the room next to the hall not far away.

The sound of slightly heavy footsteps came from the hall, and I saw a fat middle-aged woman walking out, and when she saw Yun Yi's appearance of being covered in **, she couldn't help but step forward in surprise and said, "Oh! Xiaoyi, what's wrong, how did you get water?"

"Fat aunt, I accidentally fell into the river," Yun Yi smiled awkwardly. Looking at the tonnage of the middle-aged woman, you can guess her identity. This fat aunt is the mother of Fat Cai.

"Oh, why are you so careless? Fat Cai, hurry up and take him to your room to change his clothes. It's starting to get cold this day, but don't get sick," the fat aunt said busily urging Fei Cai.

The fat wealth, who was busy with it, dragged Yun Yi into the room next to the hall.

In the slightly dim inner room, he lit an oil lamp, wiped his body with hot water, and changed into a set of fat clothes. Ordinary coarse cloth clothes and pants, stunned Yun Yi to pass on the feeling of a robe and skirt.

"Heh" Fat Cai Pan sat on Yunyi's nondescript dress, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Okay, let's get down to business!" Fei Cai, who couldn't hold back his smile, looked at Yun Yi with a depressed face, and his face suddenly became solemn: "Xiaoyi, what happened to you in Huiyan Tower?"

Yun Yi, who was stunned, looked at Fei Cai, and then looked at the little fat head who looked at him with a worried face, and couldn't help but look at the little fat head with a slight flash: "Little fat head, do you want to tell me anything in Huiyanlou today?"

"Yes, I want to stop Brother Yi from going back to the kitchen helper in Yanlou," the little fat head nodded continuously.

"Why?" Yun Yi looked at the little fat head with a slightly moving expression: "Little fat head, do you know something?"

The little fat head hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother Yi, I only told the fat brother about this, you must not say it." Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be dead. Don't hide it, I do know a little bit about the situation. However, I don't know much either. I only know that from last year to this year, I have been in the back of Yanlou as a junior for more than a year, and I have recruited four helpers in the back kitchen of Huiyanlou, one died unexpectedly, one suddenly went crazy, and two are missing. ”

"What? there is such a thing?" Yun Yi, whose face changed slightly, couldn't help but feel dark in his heart.

Fei Cai also looked at Yun Yi and hurriedly said: "Xiaoyi, don't you feel strange? Fifty a day, how can the salary of the kitchen helper in the back kitchen of Yanlou be so high? There is a problem here, you are fine now, don't go." ”

"They haven't planned to ask for me yet!" Yun Yi, who nodded lightly, didn't say anything more.

"Xiaoyi, I know you're short of money, but going back to Yanlou is not a good place, and it's not a good place for you to make money," looking at Yun Yi's slightly distracted appearance, Feicai, who knew this brother very well, couldn't help but say a word again.

"I understand!" Yun Yi, who took a deep breath, couldn't help but look up at the little fat head: "Little fat head, aren't you going to work today? How did you come out? If you tell us so much, will there be trouble?"

When the little fat head heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Brother Yi, don't worry! As long as you don't say it, who knows what I said to you? I just asked Uncle Ah Chang for a leave today under the pretext of being uncomfortable, Uncle Ah Chang is still good, and he usually takes good care of me, so nothing will happen." ”

"Little fat head, it's better for you to be careful," Yun Yi couldn't help but admonish.

Fei Cai was busy and said: "Little fat head, I think you still don't want to go back to Yanlou." I didn't think it before, but now I really think that this time Yanlou is very weird. ”

"Don't!" Yun Yi waved his hand and said: "If the little fat head doesn't do it now, it is equivalent to not admitting himself, but he may cause trouble for himself." The best way now is that the little fat man you work in Huiyanlou first, be careful and vigilant, just act as if you don't know anything, and then find a chance to quit your job after a while. ”

Fei Cai thought about it for a while, and suddenly nodded with bright eyes and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, you are still thoughtful Xiaoyi." In this way, it is not easy to attract attention. However, Xiaoyi, you must not go back to Yanlou again. ”

"Got it!" Yun Yi looked at Fei Cai helplessly, but his heart was warm.

The little fat head also nodded smartly and said busily: "Fat brother, righteous brother, don't worry, I will be careful." ”

"Come, Xiaoyi, drink this bowl of ginger soup to get rid of the cold!" In the slightly heavy footsteps, the fat aunt walked in with a bowl of steaming ginger soup and said busily.

"Thank you, Fat Aunt, I'm sorry for your trouble," Yun Yi hurriedly got up and took it with a smile.

The fat aunt smiled and said, "Xiaoyi! It seems that after your mother's serious illness before, you have really grown up." ”

In the past, Yunyi was not so polite and sensible. However, the fat aunt has always been kind to others, and she doesn't care about the juniors, and she has always been very good to Yunyi. In fact, she treats Hua Ruo better, on the one hand, because she has no daughter, and on the other hand, she has careful thoughts about letting Hua Ruo be her daughter-in-law.

At noon, the fat aunt enthusiastically stayed for lunch, and in the afternoon, Yun Yi changed back into the clothes he wore before and went home after the wet clothes were dried.

"Brother, why didn't you come back at noon?" As soon as Yun Yi entered the courtyard gate, Hua Ruo, whose beautiful eyes lit up, hurriedly greeted him.

"I went to the fat man's house, and the fat aunt had to keep me for dinner," Yun Yi, who said with a smile, hurriedly handed the large bag of things in his hand to Hua Ruo.

Hua Ruo took it with some surprise and curiosity: "Brother, what did you buy? Where did you get the money?"

"Of course it's earned," Yun Yi said with a smile: "My brother has already found a job, the boss is good, and he paid me a little salary in advance, so I bought something by the way when I came back." ”

Hua Ruo, whose beautiful eyes flashed slightly, was a little unconvinced: "Brother, how can there be such a good boss?"

Today I met someone stealing something on the street, and I helped catch the thief. The one who got the money stolen was the boss. He thought I was a good person, so he invited me to work at him, and paid me in advance," Yun Yisa panicked without blinking.

Hua Ruo, who nodded slightly, hurriedly entered the hall with a large bag of things, put the things on the table, and opened them excitedly and curiously.

"Yi'er!" Mica's voice came from inside, and Yun Yi, who answered, hurriedly walked in.

Mica, who was lying on the bed, looked at Yun Yi and couldn't help asking, "Yi'er, what are you doing today? Why didn't you come back at noon?"

Yun Yi hurriedly said to Mica Mistaken Hua Ruo's statement simply, and Mica didn't suspect anything when she heard it, so she nodded and said, "Yi'er, then you have to follow the boss in the future." ”

"Mother, don't worry, I know," Yun Yi nodded.

"Mother, look what this is, delicious pastries," a crisp and pleasant voice came, Hua Ruo ran in with a paper bag with a smile on her face, and ate a piece of pastry in her hand, slipped a cigarette to the bedside, and handed the paper bag to Mica: "Mother, you taste it! This is what my brother just bought, and it's still hot!"

Seeing the well-made pastries in the paper bag, mica, whose expression changed slightly, couldn't help but flash a trace of doubt in her eyes when she looked at Yun Yi.

Facing Mica's gaze, Yun Yi, who was a little weak in his heart, still smiled calmly on the surface: "Mother, you can taste it!"

"Yes, mother, you taste it, it's delicious," Hua Ruo laughed crisply.
