Settled in Qixia Town, started with Qingwen

Chapter 82
Early the next morning, Tongfu Inn.

"What? The exhibition hall left overnight?"

Tong Xiangyu happened to get up early and found that Bai Zhantang was missing.

Almost made a fuss.

Fortunately, Li Xin came in time to prevent a possible catastrophe at the inn.

"Hey! Shopkeeper Tong, you also know that I came to Qixia Town because of the disaster at home."

"Yesterday, I suddenly received a message saying that one of my family members appeared in a city in the southeast. I was afraid that things would change after a long delay, so I asked Brother Bai to go."

"He left overnight to help me, and he asked me to tell you before he left. He didn't leave without saying goodbye. Shopkeeper Tong, don't blame Brother Bai. If you want to blame, blame me."

Li Xin pretended to be acting, showing a shameful expression appropriately.

Sure enough, seeing him like this, Tong Xiangyu calmed down.

Finally, he complained: "Zhantang is really good, no matter how urgent you are, if you tell me in person before you leave, it won't waste much time."

"Blame me, blame me."

Li Xin smiled apologetically.

"Young Master Li, don't blame yourself, I don't blame you, I only blame myself for being a miserable person, son!"

For some reason, Tong Xiangyu became sentimental again.

Li Xin couldn't stand her like this, so he found an excuse and went back to the opposite side.

When they came to Yihong Building, they sat down casually, and Chai Jiu hurried over to wipe the table flatteringly.

At another table next door, Guo Furong was sitting, drinking barley milk tea in a leisurely manner, and making friends with Lei Li frequently, looking for various topics to talk to.

However no matter how hard she tried, the latter always cherished words like gold.

Pity the five cents she managed to get together.

It's not good for Li Xin to open the door to do business here, and it's not good to always give the people of Tongfu Inn free of charge, so except for the first day, there are normal charges for the rest.

Guo Furong originally wanted to come over to drink wheat milk tea every day, and take the opportunity to get in touch with Lei Li more and cultivate their relationship.

But she has no money at all.

Today's five cents was actually used to blackmail Mo Xiaobei and take away all the pocket money the latter had saved.

And if we dig a little deeper, how can Mo Xiaobei save money? Whenever he has pocket money, he buys snacks.

She claims to have saved up the five cents, but in fact she robbed Qiu Xiaodong.

"Brother Lei, you are in Yihonglou all day long, and you don't go out for a walk, even if you come across the door from us, don't you feel bored?"

"If you want, I can accompany you to the street whenever you are free."

No matter how slow Guo Furong drank, the barley milk tea would almost bottom out.

In a hurry, she speeded up the frequency of chatting up and talking.

"I don't like shopping."

Lei Li didn't like her.

Still respond flatly.

Use an attitude of equal treatment.

Except for being serious and gentle with Li Xin, he seemed to be so indifferent to everyone, with a hint of coldness.

"But, but..."

Guo Furong wanted to say, is there any fun for you to live like this? It's better not to retire from the world.

But she dared not speak out.

Knowing that these words cannot be said.

She was even more anxious, turning her head, thinking about what other topics could be brought up, what to say, that would arouse Lei Li's interest.

And at this moment, a graceful young woman came to the gate of Yihong Building with a bamboo basket on her shoulders.

"Brother Lei, please give me ten cents for wheat milk tea."

The woman has a good appearance, is dressed in blue and black cloth, and is about the age.

She smiled at Lei Li, took out a jar from the bamboo basket and handed it out.

"Ah."

Lei Li nodded in response, took the jar, and walked towards the back kitchen.

Seeing this scene, Guo Furong felt a chill in her heart.

On the surface, Lei Li didn't seem to have changed, but she was paying attention to Lei Li all the time, so she obviously felt different.

Lei Li's attitude towards this newcomer was much better than her.

Although it was also faint, it lacked that trace of coldness.

Snapped!
She was very unwilling, slapped the table, stared at the woman fiercely and said: "Why! I came first!"

"Sister, did I offend you?"

The woman took half a step back in fright, her face full of puzzlement.

"Hey girl Bajiao, don't pay attention to her, that's just her temper."

Chai Jiu was still cleaning the table, when he made a noise, it was obviously directed at the new woman.

It was her!

Girl Banana, she and Lei Li were a couple in the original plot.

Li Xin had already recognized her somewhat, but now that Chai Jiu called out her name, he was 100% sure.

"Isn't it the first time for Bajiao girl to patronize?"

Li Xin asked.

"You are……?"

Banana was puzzled.

Why was he first yelled at by a woman he didn't know, and then called on by a strange man.

"This is our head."

Chai Jiu quickly introduced.

"Oh, so it's the boss here, Young Master Li!"

Bajiao was stunned, smiled and said: "I heard that the barley milk tea here is delicious, and today is the third time I have come here. I have also heard some rumors that you have a good reputation. Brother Lei also said that you are a good boss."

She and her father, a blacksmith, live in South Street.

I also occasionally heard gossip about the owner of Yihonglou on East Street doing good deeds.

There are praises and criticisms.

But now in person, she must choose nice things to say.

But her words, hearing Guo Furong's ears, made her whole body shrouded in chills.

How long has Brother Lei known this banana?

Only met three times?
He actually chatted with her and talked about the good and bad of her employer.

Why is it happening like that!

Could it be that Brother Lei is also so superficial and likes prettier and younger girls?
But I'm not bad either?Can also martial arts!

Why would an ordinary woman who doesn't understand martial arts be treated differently by Brother Lei!
Guo Furong was completely shocked.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and soon she became dizzy and stared at her eyes.

"Miss Guo, what's wrong with you?"

Li Xin noticed her strangeness and wobbled, almost fainting.

As soon as the rival in love appeared, he was completely defeated, and he was hit like this?

Not so much.

Just as she was thinking about it, Guo Furong shook her head, stabilized her body, and calmed down.

"Let's go and see!"

She put down her harsh words to Ba Jiao, slapped the five cents on the table, got up and left.

Banana's expression was inexplicable.

To Li Dao: "Mr. Li, who is this girl? How did I offend her? Is she mistaken?"

"She likes Lei Li, but Lei Li doesn't like her, but likes you, that's why she is like this."

Li Xin doesn't like to mix other people's feelings.

But as his most valued buddy, Lei Li still wanted to help.

Help him cut through the mess quickly, so as not to be harassed by Guo Furong all the time.

"what?"

Sure enough, when Bajiao heard this, his face turned red, and he stammered: "Brother Lei, Brother Lei...don't talk nonsense, Mr. Li, I just met Brother Lei not long ago, how could he..."

"Oh, I'm not sure either, I'm just guessing."

Li Xin shrugged irresponsibly.

"Miss Bajiao, I agree with the master, Lao Lei must have taken a fancy to you, otherwise I have never seen him talk so easily to a woman..."

Chai Jiu agreed with a giggle.

He wanted to continue talking, but he saw Lei Li coming out from the back kitchen.

When he walked past Chai Jiu, he glanced indifferently.

Obviously heard Chai Jiu's words.

This made Chai Jiu shut up quickly.

"All right."

He walked up to Basho and handed out the jar full of barley milk tea.

Banana's face turned redder.

She was quite natural at first, but now that she sees Lei Li, she feels shy, and she will inevitably think about the relationship between men and women.

"Thank you Brother Lei, this is ten cents."

She took the jar and put it in the bamboo basket, and handed the copper coins she had prepared to Lei Li.

Due to her shyness, her movements accidentally deviated, and her hand accidentally touched Lei Li's hand.

When the skin touched, she hurriedly moved away, pretending to be nonchalant.

Lei Li was not unusual, and took the copper coins calmly.

"Brother Lei, I'll come again next time."

Ba Jiao held back her embarrassment, waved goodbye, and was about to walk out of Yihong Building.

However, several men in standard clothes and a woman dressed as a policeman came to the door and blocked Bajiao's way out.

Subconsciously, Ba Jiao stepped back and stood beside Lei Li.

Jia's private soldiers!

And this female catcher...

Li Xin was startled, his face remained calm, and he stepped forward and said, "Who are you?"
