Chapter 22 Imperata Root (2/2)



"On the mountain!" Shitou replied loudly.

As for the place on the mountain, I won’t tell you.

"This kid Shitou is very smart!"

"That must be his sister. She's become much fairer after not seeing her for a long time!"

"Little bastard!"

Several women carrying baskets covered their mouths and whispered to each other. From their evasive eyes, it was clear that they couldn't come up with anything nice to say.

Widow Yang, on the other hand, smiled brightly, tucked the hair that fell on the side of her face behind her ear, and said enviously, "Your mother is really a blessed person."

The two boys she brought with her were very sensible, unlike that short-lived son of a bitch in her family who only knew how to trick her and played all day and all night without showing up.

Shitou responded perfunctorily and then urged Qin Qing to go back quickly. When they got down the hill, they ran into Yang Liansheng who was carrying water.

The bruises on the boy's face had not yet completely faded, and he looked shocking. Qin Qing hurriedly stuffed the basket into Shitou's hands and asked him to go back first.

Shitou looked confused and ran away without asking any questions.

"Brother Liansheng! I heard your house was robbed that night..."

The boy responded perfunctorily, holding the carrying pole tightly with both hands, thinking that he had rested enough. He was about to carry the water back home quickly, but was startled by the next words of the little girl.

"I saw a strange man that night. He had a scar on his chin..." Qin Qing said in a low voice, staring at the young man intently.

Yang Liansheng's temples swelled and ached, and he felt as if the accumulated heat seemed to burst out at this moment. He stopped and looked at Qin Qing carefully, and whispered, "No, you didn't see anything."

Qin Qing was stunned for a moment.

Could it be that I was thinking wrongly?

What does he mean?

"Lian Sheng!" A female voice sounded in surprise, and a woman in a bright red jacket and a shiny long braid walked over with a smile.

"I didn't expect you haven't left yet. Come to my house for lunch today." Yang Kaixing patted the boy's thin chest and joked.

She is Liansheng's adopted sister.

They have a deep friendship.

The boy forced a smile and said, "No, Sister Xing, I have to go back to look after my grandma."

"Xing'er, hurry up, we're waiting for you to take the photo." The man approached slowly and urged impatiently.

Qin Qing just felt that the figure was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

As the man gradually approached, Qin Qing's pupils contracted rapidly, and his eyes were fixed on the lower half of the man's face.

Instead, the young man looked at the newcomer with a gloomy face and didn't even want to say hello.

Zhao San put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said with a nonchalant smile, "We're from a big city, how can we be used to your cooking? It's a waste of time."

Yang Kaixing pushed the man away in dissatisfaction, knowing that he had done something wrong the moment he came, and that a dog could not spit out ivory.

"Liansheng, I've also heard about your family's situation. Don't worry. I'll get you a dog someday to bite those fools to death!" Yang Kaixing said seriously.

She didn't notice the man behind her at all, but his face suddenly darkened when he heard her words.

Yang Liansheng raised his eyes and looked at Zhao San provocatively, with a rare joy in his tone, "Okay, thank you Sister Xing!"

However, Hou Yi raised his hand and rubbed his chin, narrowing his eyes slightly as he looked at Qin Qing, who had been silent from the beginning.

"This little girl... looks a little familiar!"

Qin Qing smiled awkwardly.

I wanted to turn around and leave.

What else is there to not understand now?
