Chapter 38: Tsk tsk! This is the mutual temptation between smart people
He followed with some suspicion, and when he looked down, he saw that the fur of the two wolves following in front seemed to have become much shinier.
No, no, no, Jiang Hongyi was sure that it was not an illusion.
"This wolf..."
"Its name is Xue Niang. You can call it by its name. Has its fur become prettier recently? I think it's all thanks to me feeding it meat every day."
When Qi Xu heard his question, he turned around and saw the confusion in his eyes. He immediately thought of a reasonable explanation.
"Um."
This explanation was considered relatively reasonable by Jiang Hongyi, so he nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the sky has become completely dark, with only the stars twinkling in the sky.
After they finished washing up, one lay on the bed and the other lay on the floor.
"How's your job search going?"
When Qi Xu was pretending to be sleepy, Jiang Hongyi suddenly said this, catching her off guard.
She felt that this person did not really care about her, but was deliberately testing her.
"I haven't found a job yet. I want to try selling some mountain products first. Don't worry, I will return your money."
…
Her words made Jiang Hongyi silent again. The room was quiet for a few minutes. "Do you really have to think about me like this?"
"But isn't it you who always urges me?"
In the darkness, she couldn't see Jiang Hongyi's expression, so she just expressed her doubts.
"What I said was never what you understood." Jiang Hongyi frowned. He always felt that Qi Xu had always misunderstood him.
"I……"
"You can live here in the family compound forever. I have no intention of driving you away."
"Oh~ what does that mean? Could it be that you like me?"
Qi Xu listened to Jiang Hongyi's hesitant and unclear explanation, which was somewhat incoherent, and he began to want to tease him again.
"I, you, that..."
"I can't explain it clearly."
Jiang Hongyi was frightened by her blatant question and became even more hesitant in speaking.
"If you can't explain it clearly, then it means you have it. I'll take it as your admission."
"Okay, go to sleep. Don't worry, I won't move out anytime soon."
Qi Xu's eyes flashed with cunning in the night. She seemed to have seen something extraordinary, and then fell asleep contentedly.
She never expected that after a dreamless night, she would wake up in the morning to see someone watering flowers with dark circles under his eyes.
"Jiang Hongyi, did you not sleep well last night? Your dark circles are quite serious." Qi Xu asked knowingly, just wanting to see his reaction.
"Fortunately, I got up early in the morning."
Qi Xu knew that he was just trying to make excuses, "Could it be that I said something wrong last night that kept you awake all night?"
…
"I'll tell you about this once I think it through. I'm going to the team training first."
Seeing her being so aggressive, Jiang Hongyi just ran away.
Qi Xu looked at his quickly disappearing back and burst out laughing. This man was not easy to be amused at all.
"Humph, he came out to fight in the yard in the middle of the night last night and scared me and the kids. He's such a liar."
Xue Niang looked at her with a complaining look, and Qi Xu realized that she had slept too well yesterday and actually missed such a good show.
"Xue Niang, please be patient. I will cut more meat for you and the little one later."
Qi Xu smiled and comforted Xue Niang, then turned around and went to the kitchen to cut meat for them.
Since Jiang Hongyi has escaped, she can sneak into the market and set up a stall openly.
After making a simple breakfast and eating it with the old man, she put on her backpack and went out.
Not long after she left the house, she thought that she couldn't always do just one thing, so she went directly to the incense and candle shop and bought yellow paper, cinnabar, a brush, ink, an inkstone, and a linen banner.
After arriving at the market, she worked at her stall for a while. She first wrote two large characters on a cloth banner: "Fortune Telling." Below that, she wrote in medium font: "Ten fortunes every day, only for those with whom I am destined to be."
Then he wrote a small amount of commonly used talismans such as peace talismans, fortune talismans, Wenchang talismans, and health talismans.
After making all the preparations, she sat on a small chair and waited for the right person. In order not to wait in vain, she counted on her fingers and estimated that there should be some business today.
There are quite a lot of people buying vegetables in the market at this time in the morning, and everyone is busy choosing the ingredients they need.
"Young man, come here."
Qi Xu waved to a young man who was just passing by and was not very active.
"Me? You want me to go over?"
The young man pointed at himself with some suspicion and said disdainfully.
Qi Xu smiled without saying anything, touched his mustache with his fingers and nodded seriously.
The young man didn't care, shook his arms and stepped forward to continue walking.
"Alas, young man, I see you're about to meet with a bloody disaster. Don't go anywhere near water today."
"Bah! What bloody disaster? What bullshit Taoist priest? I'm fine, don't curse me for no reason!"
The young man became even more unconvinced after hearing what Qi Xu said. He turned around, put his hands on his hips, pointed at her and started to speak nonsense.
Qi Xu stared at him and shook his head gently, "Young man, do you want to open a peace amulet? Don't worry, you will need it."
"Go to hell, you're just trying to cheat me out of my money."
"No, no, no, I'll give it to you for free. If you find it useful, come and pay me."
Qi Xu waved the amulet in his hand, shaking his head and explaining like a fortune teller.
"Oh, are these scams so outrageous now? Since you don't want money, I'd rather take it."
The young man had a look of doubt on his face, but he reached out his hand honestly, took the amulet, stuffed it into his back pocket, and walked away without looking back.
"Sir, why did you have to pick on him when you could pick on anyone else? He's a well-known bully in our market, and everyone has to be polite to him!"
An old lady selling vegetables nearby couldn't stand it anymore, so she turned around and explained something to Qi Xu, who was sitting with his legs crossed.
"Oh? Little Bully? No problem, no problem. I'm not lying. I'm still waiting for him to come and pay me."
Qi Xu shook his head indifferently and continued to sit and wait for the next destined person.
At this time, a strong wind suddenly blew up at the seaside, causing the ships docked at the pier to tremble.
"Boss! The wind is blowing. We can still have time to go out to sea after the wind dies down."
"What do you mean by stop? We have so many years of experience sailing, why should we be afraid of such a small amount of wind?"
"Walk!"
The young man ignored the advice of his younger brothers and insisted on going out to sea, so his brothers had no choice but to follow him.
Less than ten kilometers out to sea, the fishing boat was moving fast with the wind. Following the young man's command, the brothers on the boat began to cast their nets at the location he designated.
Before the net was fully spread, a sudden strong wind blew, sweeping the sails of the ship, causing them to sway violently. Everyone standing on the deck couldn't even keep their balance.
