Chapter 149

Fang Lang was thrown out the door: "Hey, no one is paying attention to me?"

The old servant at the door said: "I didn't look away. It's none of my business. What rich lady? I didn't see her. She doesn't pay me."

The novice servant at the door: How did this person get in? Will our wages be deducted?

The experienced servant at the door: Don’t look, don’t ask, just pretend there’s no one at the door.

After being washed and smelling delicious, Dudu was completely confused. When he was wrapped in a quilt and handed to Beiqiao, his face was full of shock and he was too confused to calm down.

"I just took a flower petal bath, why do you feel so dull?" Bei Qiao took Dudu out of the quilt and put him on the ground.

"Woof!" Dudu shook his head and ran out to play with the puppy he picked up.

Dudu: This yard also needs a guard dog, I think that guy will do the job!

After packing his luggage, Bei Qiao closed the door and saw Dudu playing seriously with the puppy he picked up. After greeting him, he planned to go out alone. However, he ran into Qin Huan at the door again and found that the other party had changed his clothes again.

"Cousin, are you going out?" Qin Huan, who was walking in front, turned around when he heard the servant call "Master Qiao". Fang Lang, who was at the door, had disappeared. Qin Huan didn't care about this matter, nor was he curious.

"Yeah." Bei Qiao adjusted the mask on his face: Otherwise, I'm already outside the door.

"Miss, Madam is calling you back." Just when Qin Huan wanted to say something, someone from Qin's mother's yard came to find her.

"What's up?"

"Madam said your cousin is here to visit you."

"Ah, isn't my cousin here?" Qin Huan looked back at Bei Qiao: "Oh, it's my cousin...which cousin?" He called Bei Qiao cousin so many times that he almost forgot that he had a real cousin.

The person who came to deliver the message didn't know which cousin of Qin Huan it was. Anyway, if nothing unexpected happened, there was a 50% probability that his surname was Qiao, and the other 50% probability that he took his mother's surname. Any surname was possible.

Qin Huan asked casually, not expecting an answer. While he'd wanted to bring Bei Qiao home so the two cousins ​​could meet and see some fun, it would have been rude to both his visiting cousin and Bei Qiao, who had begun to trust him. So, Qin Huan ultimately gave up the idea with regret, said goodbye to Bei Qiao, and headed home.

Bei Qiao watched Qin Huan leave and walked towards the beach of Linjie City.

The neighbors nearby noticed that Qin Huan called her "cousin" and subconsciously looked her up and down: because of the mask, they couldn't tell what she looked like, but she seemed to be a handsome young man.

Bei Qiao: New neighbor... Never mind. I guess Qin Huan has already greeted him. It’s unlikely that he will stay here permanently, so I’d better not greet him. Let’s just take things as they come.

By the time Bei Qiao reached the beach, it was already getting dark. It was dinner time, and there were many people on the street, some going to the food court to eat, and some just strolling down the street to digest their food.

Seeing Beiqiao walking towards the beach, several children immediately ran over and blocked her way, telling her that someone had died there and that it was too dangerous to go there alone at night.

"Thank you. Why do you say it's dangerous there?" Bei Qiao didn't have to go to the beach. Seeing that these children had no ill intentions, she stopped and asked what was going on.

"Because there are ghosts there at night!"

"No, no! My mother said it's a huge ship that will eat people!"

"What big ship? That's a pleasure boat, you country bumpkin!"

"Why are you scolding me!"

"Why are you pushing me? I didn't scold you..."

The kids were good-natured but unsteady, and for some reason, they started shoving each other. The other kids gathered around, some cheering them on, others trying to break them up, creating a noisy and chaotic scene.

What’s interesting is that even when things got this bad, they didn’t forget to stand in front of Bei Qiao, as if they were afraid that she would go to the beach because of something she didn’t like.

"You guys..." Bei Qiao took a few steps back, feeling both amused and helpless. He then walked into a candy store on the side of the road and bought a bag of loose snacks, intending to share them with the children. Although the information these children provided was a bit vague, their starting point was always good and worthy of praise.

"They're quite noisy, right? They're all good kids, just a little too naughty." Seeing that Beiqiao was about to share the snacks with the children, the proprietress grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into a paper bag for Beiqiao.

"They say they eat people..."

"Shh! Let's not talk about that tonight!" The proprietress waved her hands vigorously. "Just don't go to the beach tonight! It's a good Mid-Autumn Festival, and two lives were lost just like that. It's really creepy!"

"That's because they are bewildered. They actually think that a beautiful girl inviting them to the pleasure boat is not a scam..." The proprietress's daughter muttered while doing her homework at the small table at the back.

"Go do your homework!"

"It's written!" The little girl, relying on the container in front of her, stuck her tongue out at her mother: "You're not allowed to say it? Of course it is! If a handsome older brother smiled at me on the street, I would definitely cover my wallet before speaking.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. The proprietress certainly knew what her daughter was doing behind the scenes, but there were customers in the store now, and she couldn't beat her daughter in front of others. She could only send Bei Qiao out of the store with an apologetic look on her face, then turned around and rolled up her sleeves.

Bei Qiao shook his head, not intending to get involved in other people's affairs. He gave the snacks and melon seeds to the group of children and left. The children were quite cautious. They didn't eat the food immediately after receiving it, but they were very sweet when they thanked them. At first glance, they were the kind of children whose parents were very reasonable and they themselves were very hardworking.

Bei Qiao: Personally, I think it is very one-sided to attribute a child’s success simply to good upbringing. The child’s own efforts are equally important.

Since we can't go to the beach, let's go somewhere else. Bei Qiao changed the road and continued walking forward, planning to go home after a while. As she walked, she stopped and thought: I seem to have walked this road once before.

"Sir, I can't walk anymore, can you give me a hand?" Just when Bei Qiao was considering whether to go offline to search for a way to break the ghost wall, a delicate voice suddenly came from the corner of the road.

Bei Qiao: "..."

Bei Qiao: I kind of want to ask what those people who were deceived by female ghosts at night were thinking. In such a dark place, a person suddenly appeared. No matter how good-looking or nice the person was, it was still weird and creepy.

The "Young Master" woman sat on the ground, her head tilted to one side, her long skirt spread out on the ground, making it impossible to tell whether she had a shadow or not. There was no one else on the street, and the moonlight couldn't penetrate it, but Bei Qiao could clearly see the woman's almost pale face and the intricate evening primrose pattern on her skirt in the darkness.

Bei Qiao: Well, excluding the environmental factor of the ghost wall, she is indeed beautiful, but I don’t know if she is in the same group with the painting boat.

"Young Master," the woman urged again when she saw Bei Qiao didn't move.

"Don't be impatient, let me think about it." Bei Qiao felt that the scene before him was just like playing a plot game. So, now the question is, should he follow the routine or... "Forget it, I'm in a hurry, please make way for me, young lady."

"No, why are you so heartless? I just want you to help me, and I don't want to extort money." The woman frowned.

"A ghost wall." Bei Qiao said it word by word. Seeing that the woman was still pretending to be stupid, he took out the wooden vow tablet he had taken from the land temple from his bag: I didn't want to be so rude, but unfortunately the other party is a disobedient person.

"Hmph!" The female ghost who was not good at fighting floated away angrily: Which idiot arranged the ghost wall in advance? Isn't this a mistake?

The moment the ghost girl left, the scene before him changed. Noticing the sudden sound of a carriage, Bei Qiao immediately leaped into the air, stepping onto the roof of someone's carriage and leaping to the side of the road: "Damn it!"

Bei Qiao, who rarely breaks his composure, cursed for the first time: How wicked! They actually led people to the middle of the road. No wonder I always feel that the light in the street is not harmonious.

Steadying himself on the side of the road, Bei Qiao squinted his eyes and looked towards the center of the road. The weather was clear today, but there was a strange water stain in the middle of the road, which seemed to have just appeared.

Bei Qiao: Water ghost? These days, you can get scammed by water ghosts even when walking down the street. Aren't water ghosts supposed to stay in the water?

Water Ghost: Why are you still using stereotypes? We're in the water because we'll die again from lack of water! Damn it! I finally caught a handsome, energetic young man, but he turned out to be a stubborn blockhead, holding a wooden sign to fulfill a vow... Why don't you just use a peach wood sword?

Bei Qiao: It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that I don’t have one.

After identifying the surrounding environment and direction, Bei Qiao returned to the courtyard before it was completely dark. The servant at the door greeted her as usual, then stood upright at the door, and only relaxed quickly after Bei Qiao walked in: "Strange, why were you so nervous just now?"

"What's so strange about that? He has an extraordinary aura, worthy of being from the Madam's family." The servants were unaware of Bei Qiao's identity, only knowing him as Cousin Qiao. In the vast Qin family, few, aside from Mother Qin and the Qin siblings, knew Bei Qiao's true identity. Everyone else judged him by his appearance and treated him like Cousin Qiao.

Qin Huan was still at home having dinner with relatives who had come from afar, so there weren't many people left in the courtyard. Seeing Bei Qiao return, the maid who was in charge of taking care of everyone's daily life took the initiative to greet him, served him tea, and lit the candles in the room.

No wonder everyone wants to be rich. It really feels good to be taken care of by others... Bei Qiao picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked them if they knew about the deadly pleasure boat.

This incident had caused quite a stir a few days ago, and even the maids who rarely went out had heard about it: "Speaking of the deadly pleasure boat, there used to be a restaurant on a pleasure boat by the sea, but for some reason, it hasn't been seen in the past few days."
