I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 57
Xiao Qi's face was full of smiles, "Miss Zhou, just call me Xiao Qi." He opened his eyes again and asked, "Oh, by the way, Miss Zhou is here to see my master?"

"Who is your master?" Zhou Chenyu was confused.

Xiao Qi raised her chest and spoke with pride, "Class Leader Yang is my master! Miss Zhou, you are here to see my master, am I right?"

Zhou Chenyu saw that Xiao Qi was obviously curious about eating the melon, but still pretended to be serious. It seemed that her entanglement with Yang Xi had spread among these people.

Zhou Chenyu smiled and said, "Yes, Bantou Yang ordered a box of red bean cakes at the store before. I came here specially to deliver the goods today. I wonder if Bantou Yang is here?"

Xiao Qi smiled happily and said, "Yes! Girl, please wait here for a while. I'll be back as soon as I go."

"Hey, no need!" Zhou Chenyu stopped him, offered the box with both hands, and said sincerely: "Xiao Qi, I'm just here to deliver something, so I won't disturb his work. Please help me put these I delivered it to him personally, thank you very much, daughter of the people."

Xiao Qi was surprised, "Miss Zhou, aren't you going to hand the things over to my master in person?"

"I know that Team Leader Yang is very busy with official duties on weekdays. I must not be able to get away at this moment. Sorry to trouble you." Under Xiao Qi's disbelief, Zhou Chenyu calmly turned around and walked away before muttering: "I'll wait. He will definitely not come out to see me and waste my time."

Xiao Qi held the snack box and looked at the retreating figure, frowning in confusion, "Miss Zhou is leaving now? Could it be that I misunderstood."

Xiao Qi sighed regretfully, took the things and entered the depths of the dungeon. The most vicious people were imprisoned here, either killing people and setting fires, or burning, killing, raping and plundering.

The sky is clear and sunny outside, but here it is gloomy.

Every time Xiao Qi comes here, he walks through the dark corridor, the torches on both sides of the secret passage sway, and the prisoners trapped in the cells on both sides stare at him like evil ghosts, and the hair on his back always stands up.

He usually doesn't like to come here, but if he wants to find a master, this is the right place.

Under the eager gaze of those evil spirits, Xiao Qi quickened her pace. It was not until she saw the calm and collected master sitting at the desk at the end that she felt relieved.

No matter how scary the evil ghost is, how can a master be so scary when he is angry?

A few days ago, the prisoner was allowed to escape for no reason. The master's severe reprimand was still fresh in his mind. Xiaoqi quietly walked forward and asked in a low voice: "Master, you have been here for a few days and read the case files. It's time to go out and get some fresh air." Don’t tire yourself out.”

Yang Xi glanced at him and saw the clue: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Xiao Qi took out something with a guilty conscience, "Master, I just met Miss Zhou at the gate of the government office. She came to give you something."

It's her again.

Yang Xi frowned habitually, and wanted to refuse coldly, but suddenly remembered the agreement he made before leaving yesterday, and started talking more: "Where is she?"

Seeing that things had turned around, Xiao Qi replied anxiously: "Master, Miss Zhou just left not long ago. If you go out to chase her now, you should be able to catch up."

Yang Xi looked at Xiao Qi's inexplicably nervous face, glanced at the box, and returned his gaze to the old case files with an extremely calm expression:
"Since the things have been delivered, it's okay to leave. I'll thank her when I see her another day."

Xiao Qi touched her head and said, "Okay."

It was still early when we left the government office.

Zhou Chenyu wandered around the market for two more times, and when she was about to give up, she finally saw the person she was looking for.

She smiled, "So it's here."

Deaf Zhang got a bowl of leftover rice from a family. He carefully held the dirty and broken bowl, but was surrounded by a group of naughty children.

The leader of the children forcefully snatched the broken bowl from the old man's hand, "You stinky beggar, a broken bowl is so precious, it stinks like hell! Come and grab it, and I'll give it back to you if you can!"

Several children treated the old man like a monkey and passed the broken bowl around. The old man cried wildly in anxiety, "Give me the bowl back, give me the bowl!" Zhou Chenyu strode over and snatched the broken bowl. bowl.

The child raised his head angrily, "Why are you robbing me?"

Zhou Chenyu stared at him, "You can steal my old man's things, why can't I take them back?"

"This is mine! I didn't steal it, give it back to me!"

The child confidently stretched out his hand and pounced on her.

Zhou Chenyu hid behind him, threw himself on the ground like a dog, ate a mouthful of mud, then stamped his feet and cried loudly.

"You can still cry!! Tsk!"

Zhou Chenyu ignored him and took the old man to another pure place, "Here, I'll give it back to you."

The old man seemed to remember her, he turned from crying to laughing, and did not protect the food, "You eat."

Zhou Chenyu smiled and shook his head like he was coaxing an old child, "I'm full. I'm not hungry. I'll give it to you."

"Then I'll eat, hehe." The old man took the broken bowl and started eating. Zhou Chenyu looked at it for a while, then got up and bought a few meat buns. When the old man smelled the aroma, he immediately lost interest in the meal and looked over eagerly, " smell good."

Zhou Chenyu smiled lightly and replaced the bowl of rice with the steamed buns, "Here you go."

The old man opened his eyes in surprise and pointed at himself, "For me?"

Zhou Chenyu nodded, "Well, this is for you. After you finish eating, can you take me home? I want to visit your house, okay?"

The old man took a bite of the meat bun, but looked at it blankly, unable to hear what she said.

"Go home and take me to your house, okay?" Zhou Chenyu made a gesture of putting his hands together on his face. The old man suddenly smiled and hurriedly got up with the buns to lead the way.

Zhou Chenyu looked at the old man's warm-hearted look, pursed his lips and smiled, "Yang Xi, Yang Xi, you don't want to come out to see me, but you care about me so much, you will always go to see him, right?"

Although it was unethical to use this old man to get close to him, he still spent money to give people food.

It's even.

Zhou Chenyu was proud for a moment and followed the old man silently.

Li Xiuju said before that the old man has no fixed abode and wanders around.She thought that the place where her old man lived would be some remote ruined temple or abandoned house. When she arrived at his residence, she discovered that it was in a corner near the market.

The old man's house is surrounded by independent courtyards, but the strange thing is that many of the courtyards have closed doors, the trees sticking out of the corners have dried up, and the eaves at the door are covered with spider webs. It looks like no one has lived there for a long time.

Such a good piece of land is unoccupied, what a waste?

Where have everyone gone?

The old man pushed open the courtyard door and waved happily, "This is my home, come in with me, come in."

Zhou Chenyu walked to the door, and a cool breeze blew through. She looked into the yard. The flowers, plants and trees were withered and dilapidated. Broken tiles, water tanks, fallen crossbars and other debris were scattered in every corner of the yard. .

Crossing the yard, climbing several moss-covered stone steps, a closed door opened. There was a bed with a straw mat in the room, which was a sleeping place.
