Flowers are expensive

Chapter 101 Accidental Encounter 4
"What if he's just an ordinary person?"

The man laughed at himself and said, "If it's really just a boy from the farm, I don't care if he continues to be called Xie Manting. I don't mind letting others fill in the vacancy that I can't fill, as long as he is not harmful to the Xie family."

"That older sister was so funny just now, she yelled Xie Manting one by one, and said she loved Xie Manting to death, brother, you didn't even blush!" The little girl laughed.

"Why should I blush? The person she said is not me, and the person she loves is not me. There is nothing to blush."

"Then you want to take them to find that Xie Manting?"

"I have to take it with me, maybe it will be useful. That Xie Manting and Cao Haitang should have gone out of the mountain together, and I just want to see both of them, so there is no need to run around so much trouble."

Lihua and Yutao were driven on the road inexplicably, although they didn't know what the man wanted to do.Along the way, the man seldom talked to her. At most, when she accidentally slipped the word Xie Manting out of her mouth, he dumped her: "Did you forget again?".

On the contrary, the little girl liked talking to Lihua Yutao very much, and the three of them chatted while walking, sometimes ignoring the man.Lihua thought the little girl was cute, but she didn't understand why the murderous aura was so strong at such a young age.She might be more likable without the short sword.

After spending a day and a night in the mountains, the three of them have become acquainted.When it was almost evening, they found a farmhouse, but unfortunately it was not empty, and it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time.

When Lihua led the two girls to look for food in the kitchen, the man took out a sheepskin map from his pocket, put it on the table and began to study it carefully.After all, he hadn't been back for a long time. He encountered several landslides on the road and had to divert his route, so he didn't recognize some roads.Not long after, a smell of burning sweet potatoes came from the kitchen.He put away the map, walked to the door of the kitchen, and saw three people busy in front of the stove.The little girl raised the sweet potato in her hand and waved at him with a smile: "Brother, look! We don't need to eat dry food tonight, we have hot sweet potato to eat!"

"Where did it come from?" The man remained vigilant.

"Sister Lihua found it from the cellar. Apart from red sweet potatoes, there are also pickled vegetables, but there is no rice, but let's make do with it, it's better than nothing!"

"I don't know if it's poisonous or not, just eat it like this?"

Lihua stood up from the stove, took the sweet potato from the little girl's hand, peeled off the skin, took a bite warmly, and smiled at the man: "You are too vigilant, aren't you? Are you the emperor? Who in this wilderness has the time to poison you? You have to be afraid, I'll take a bite first, lest you say I'm going to poison you."

"It's just being careful, I don't mean anything else." The man said with a faint smile.

"Hey, it's up to you, I'll be a stuffed ghost!" Lihua patted her stomach and laughed.This action made the man laugh again. In fact, he had already been made laugh by Ewha many times along the way.Although he didn't participate in the chatter of these three girls, he could hear them clearly in his ears, and he was always amused by Lihua's words from time to time.

"No, give it back to me!" The little girl jumped up and snatched the sweet potato from Lihua's hand, and took two freshly cooked sweet potatoes from the stove, and then ran out to eat with Yutao.

Lihua stood by the stove, lifted the lid of a clay pot, and a strong aroma of pickled vegetables wafted out.She took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Wow, it's so delicious, I'm so hungry!" Then she patted the round belly of the clay pot and said, "Little baby, my sister will greet you well later, You've been waiting here for my sister for so long!"

The man couldn't help laughing, and asked with a smile, "What are you going to do?"

"The direct and easiest way is to stir-fry with oil! Fortunately, this store still has a jar of lard, otherwise we can only steam it tonight. Sweet roasted sweet potatoes with salty pickles , the taste is a bit heavy, but it tastes delicious when you think about it! It's like..."

"Like what?" the man asked with interest.

"Like red wine with beef!"

"Red wine with beef?"

"If you don't understand, just ignore it," Lihua said with a faint smile, "It means it's delicious." He poured a bowl of pickled vegetables into the pot, and with a puff, the unique aroma of the pickled vegetables permeated the entire kitchen immediately as the oil heated up.

The man didn't leave, but quietly watched Lihua busy, as if he was remembering something.While stir frying, Lihua raised her eyelids and glanced at him and said, "If you feel your nose is pungent, go out first, and you can eat it soon."

The man looked at the steaming heat in the pot and said with emotion: "I haven't smelled this fragrance for a long time."

"Have you ever eaten pickles before? Can't tell!"

"What can you see in your eyes?" The man swallowed the latter words.

"Heh!" Lihua rolled her eyes and said, "Don't underestimate people, at least I can see that you and your sister are not good at dealing with each other. Are you two killers?"

"If it's true?" the man asked with a smile, "Are you cooking dinner for the killer?"

Lihua shook her right index finger and said without raising her head: "I'm cooking my last supper, maybe you'll kill me in a while, I must be full, right?"

"Are you brave and not afraid, or are you so frightened that you don't know how to be afraid? You should understand that I can kill you at any time."

"Want to hear the truth?"

"Speak!"

"Actually, I have a little bit of luck in my heart. Maybe you are not those murderous killers? Maybe you are the police of the court, or maybe you are just knights?" Lihua was telling the truth. Subconsciously, she really didn't regard the brothers and sisters as unforgivable killers, although she also knew that these two people were definitely not good people.But one is very cute, and the other is always smiling. She really doesn't want to think too evil.

Ewha's answer surprised the man, and he stared at her for a long time.Until she raised her head again and asked: "By the way, I still can't help being curious and want to ask, you thank our family... No, what kind of enmity does my man have?"

"You'll know when you meet."

"Huh? Is there such a strange hatred in this world? We will only know it when we meet each other?"

After a moment of silence, the man asked: "Maybe I will kill him, will you seek revenge from me?"

Lihua stopped the spatula in her hand, looked up at the man, and said: "Why do you brothers and sisters always talk about killing and killing? Listen to the Buddha's advice, turn your head and it's the shore! The sea is too deep, be careful I can't even float up."

The man burst out laughing, and Lihua asked him, "What's so funny? I'm telling the truth." The man bowed his head in silence for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "I've been forgetting to tell you my name. My name is Qing Yi, if I really kill your husband, you can use this name to seek revenge from me." He walked out of the kitchen after finishing speaking.

The spatula in Lihua's hand fell off, she looked at the man's leaving back with a blank face, and cursed in her heart, don't be so arrogant!Have you ever seen someone leave his name before killing your relatives, and openly invite you to take revenge?She shook her head vigorously, and muttered, "These two brothers and sisters are both sick, or seriously ill!"

After the pickled vegetables were fried, a table of four people ate with relish.All day and night before, I ate dry cakes and drank mountain spring water. After finally having a hot meal, everyone was very happy.

After eating, Qing Yi was thinking about how the four of them would rest when he suddenly noticed movement outside the house.His first reaction was to close the door, telling the three busy chatterers to shut up first.

Four or five men hurriedly ran from the small dirt road on the left side of the courtyard. They looked flustered and held swords and sticks. They ran forward while looking back, as if there were pursuers behind them.

"Brother, do you want to do it?" The little girl's tone was a little excited, as if she wanted to use a big knife after holding back for a long time.

"Look again!" Qing Yi stared outside and said.

"They don't look like good people, like robbers who rob houses!" The little girl said unwillingly.

"Stop talking! There seems to be someone behind!"

Sure enough, a few more people appeared behind those four or five people, as if they were chasing the people in front.At this time, the sun had not yet set, and the light was bright enough for Lihua and Yutao to see clearly who was chasing after them!
Lihua suddenly shouted excitedly: "It's our hero Xie! Yutao, look, there's your brother!"

Yutao also saw it, jumped up happily and shouted: "It's my brother! There are also Brother Haitang and Xie Manxiang!"

Qing Yi was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand to grab Li Hua and asked, "Which one is Xie Manting?" Li Hua pointed at the gray-clothed man who was punching someone and smiled, "That's it! It's very powerful, right? Do you dare to go out and fight him?" field?"

Qing Yi looked in the direction of her finger, and as soon as his gaze fell on Man Ting's face, his whole body froze, revealing an expression of astonishment!The hand holding Lihua's arm also exerted some strength subconsciously, and the pain made Lihua withdraw her hand in a hurry and said, "What are you doing! I dare not go out to fight, but bully me, who has no strength to restrain a chicken, what is it?" Man!"

"Brother!" The little girl suddenly exclaimed, "Look! Who is that..."

"Don't talk yet!" Qing Yi's complexion was as dark as night in an instant, his murderous aura gradually rose, and a pair of black eyes were fixedly staring at the fierce battle going on outside.

Man Ting and others caught up with those who were trying to escape, and beat them to the ground.They played so happily that they didn't notice anyone in the farmhouse at all.

Seeing that Qingyi's face was uglier than ever before, Lihua was afraid that she would be threatened by him, so while the two siblings were staring out of the window in astonishment, she quietly pulled Yutao, then suddenly opened the door, and grabbed Yutao's hand stormed out.

When Qingyi brothers and sisters reacted, the two had already rushed out, and it was too late to stop them.The little girl pulled out the dagger neatly, and said to the outside with an excited and angry expression: "Brother, let's kill it! What a rare opportunity!"

"Wait!" Qing Yi held down the little girl's hand and shouted softly, "Let's see!"

"What are you looking at!" The little girl jumped anxiously, "Brother, don't you see who that person is outside? No matter how many people we sent to kill him, they didn't succeed. He is right in front of us now, why don't you go kill him?" him?"

"Don't you think it's strange?"

"strangeness?"

"What did Qin Lihua call him just now? Did you forget?"

The little girl was stunned for a moment, her pupils doubled instantly, and she uttered three words: "Xie-man-ting?" She immediately gasped, too shocked to say a word!
"Don't you think it's too coincidental? Why is it him?" Qing Yi clenched his fists tightly, staring outside with bulging veins.How angry he is can be seen from his bloodthirsty eyes and twisted expression.He even wanted to rush out to kill people more than his sister, but he desperately kept his last trace of composure, because everything was so strange and so coincidental, why was it that person who pretended to be himself?

When Lihua rushed out with Yutao, Man Ting and the others were startled.Lihua didn't care about his reaction, she threw herself into Manting's arms, put her arms around his waist and said with a smile, "Thank you, great man, let's meet again!"
