Chapter 32
The weather was getting colder. Lu Xiaobai didn't eat dinner. He washed up on an empty stomach and lay down on the bed ready to sleep.
But it was so late and Lingyi still hadn't come back.
He lay on the edge of the bed and silently moved a little closer to He Qin.
Although He Qin's words were not very pleasant, he was really warm. Lu Xiaobai liked it very much and would secretly stick to He Qin's back to keep warm every night.
But it was still early tonight, and he felt that He Qin was still asleep. He didn't dare to hug the big heater openly, so he just tugged at the corner of his clothes and asked, "He Qin~"
He Qin closed his eyes: "Yeah."
Listening to He Qin's nonchalant tone, Lu Xiaobai asked angrily, "Why hasn't Brother Lingyi come back yet? Could something have happened? We offended Liu Yi today. What if, what if he finds someone to surround us again and happens to block Brother Lingyi? Why aren't you worried at all? After all, we are family."
"Zero One wouldn't be that useless."
How could his men be dealt with by someone like Liu Yi?
Impossible!
Lu Xiaobai pouted unhappily: "Although Brother Lingyi is quite powerful, but..."
Hearing Lu Xiaobai always calling him "Brother Lingyi" and praising him for being so awesome, He Qin angrily said, "If you're full of energy, just do what a brother should do. Don't keep praising other men in bed with your husband."
Lu Xiaobai was interrupted by He Qin before he could finish his words. He was startled and thought carefully about what a brother should do. Then he closed his eyes and silently moved to the side of the bed, away from the dangerous He Qin.
Fortunately, He Qin didn't want to touch him, which made him feel a lot more at ease, and he fell asleep in a short while.
When he woke up the next morning, Lingyi had already returned. He hadn't made breakfast and planned to go to town to eat together. He borrowed the ox cart and called Lu Xiaobai to set off.
In order to go to the town, Lu Xiaobai got up at dawn and dressed up specially. His high ponytail was tight and beautiful. The few strands of hair in front made him look delicate and handsome, and even the red mole on his forehead looked brighter.
He was still a little groggy because he had gotten up too early, and when he heard Lingyi calling him, he subconsciously walked out.
Everyone went out today and wanted to buy some things, so one car couldn't fit everyone in and we borrowed two ox carts.
Zero two and a few others were in one car, and Zero one, Lu Xiaobai and He Qin were in another car.
Lu Xiaobai climbed onto the cart in a daze, leaned on the person on the cart and fell asleep. While sleeping, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked up and found that it was a stranger. He was so scared that he leaned back and almost fell off the ox cart.
"Who are you? Why are you in our car, Brother Lingyi..."
When Ling, the driver, turned around, Lu Xiaobai was speechless.
He looked at the bearded man in front of him and the strange man with a scar on his face who looked fierce and cruel behind him. He subconsciously felt that he had been betrayed by He Qin. He was stunned for a few seconds and then burst into tears.
"Ahhh, He Qin, you bastard, actually treated me like this..."
He Qin raised his hand and tapped him on the forehead, saying, "Try to curse again?"
“Ouch, it hurts…”
Lu Xiaobai covered his forehead with tears in his eyes. The voice sounded familiar, so he suppressed his fear and asked tentatively, "You, are you He Qin?"
The fierce man glanced at Lu Xiaobai and nodded with a smile on his face: "Yeah."
Hearing He Qin's answer, Lu Xiaobai not only did not stop crying, but slapped He Qin on the head, sniffing and saying aggrievedly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You scared me to death!"
When he woke up and saw the familiar people around him turned into strangers, he thought he had been sold by He Qin and was scared to death.
Lu Xiaobai's slap scared Lingyi, who was driving the car in front, and the brothers in the car behind, so much that their hearts were in their throats.
What was even more terrifying was that Lu Xiaobai didn't stop after slapping him. Instead, he touched He Qin's face, tugging at it and asking, "Why did you do this? This scar looks like the real thing. It's so scary."
After being beaten, He Qin originally wanted to give Lu Xiaobai a good beating, but when he thought that Lu Xiaobai was really scared, he let it go. Anyway, he was going to the town now, so it was not advisable to cause trouble.
But he didn't expect that Lu Xiaobai would not only hit him, but also touch his face randomly. He took a deep breath, grabbed Lu Xiaobai's hand and didn't let him move, and said in a deep voice: "If you touch me again, get off and walk."
Lu Xiaobai curled his lips, snorted, pulled his hand away, turned around and asked Lingyi: "Brother Lingyi, why are you dressed like this, and you look so similar."
Lu Xiaobai was confused. Could this be the ancient art of disguise?
"We are businessmen. In the eyes of outsiders, we are wealthy. If we don't disguise ourselves, we will be targeted by robbers." Ling lied without changing his expression.
"Oh, I see."
Lu Xiaobai nodded, wiped away her tears and fell into He Qin's arms: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought you sold me out."
Ling Yi laughed as soon as he heard it: "Hahaha, sister-in-law, that's not true. We would never do human trafficking."
Lu Xiaobai sniffed, looked at He Qin's chin and said, "If one day you sell me out, I will curse you to death."
Ling Yixiao was in a state of panic in front of him.
But He Qin looked at the boy on his lap with disdain and thought to himself: How stupid.
The road to town was long, but it wasn't boring as they chatted and laughed along the way, and they soon arrived in town.
They didn't take the ox cart when they entered the town. Ling Si watched the cart at the town entrance while the others went to buy things separately.
Lu Xiaobai followed He Qin in a daze. This town was not as prosperous as he had imagined, but it was still a big market with many snacks for sale. He held the two taels of silver and looked at the street snacks, eager to try them.
But before he could be happy and even buy a piece of cake, he heard passers-by saying that Liu Yi had died in a brothel last night.
"Liu Yi is dead?"
Lu Xiaobai couldn't believe it. There were not only women in the brothel here, but also young men. Liu Yi came back from Lujia Village yesterday. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He planned to find the officials and arrest He Qin on charges.
The official loved visiting brothels, so Liu Yi invited the official to go to a brothel together to have fun.
He went first and found a guy to drink with him.
By the time the official finished his work and rushed over, Liu Yi was already dead.
The reason given by the coroner was that she died from being too excited while having sex with her brother.
Although it is not good to gloat over someone else's misfortune, people like Liu Yi deserved to die, especially because he died at the hands of my brother.
Lu Xiaobai curled his lips in disdain: "It's good to be dead, but I feel sorry for that guy."
In this era, if a man dies at the hands of a boy or a woman, the boy or woman will definitely suffer a miserable fate.
Lu Xiaobai cursed Liu Yi in his heart as he walked. He cursed for a long time before he was brought back to his senses by a pancake stall on the side of the road.
He hadn't eaten anything last night or in the morning, and was very hungry. So he stopped in front of the stall and asked, "Hello, how much is this pancake?"
Seeing that it was a handsome boy, the stall owner smiled happily and said, "One penny each, how many do you want, little brother?"
Lu Xiaobai looked at the silver in his hand, thought for a moment and said, "I want six."
The stall owner was very happy and quickly took out the oil paper to wrap the pancake: "Okay, I'll wrap it for you right away."
But when I handed over the silver, the stall owner's face changed, and he said in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "Young man, you are kidding me, where can I find silver in a small place like mine?"
"Ah, can't find it?"
Lu Xiaobai looked around, intending to find He Qin to find a solution, but when he turned around, he didn't see He Qin's shadow. Lu Xiaobai panicked: "He Qin?"
He took the cake and tried to leave, but the stall owner grabbed him and said, "Don't leave, little brother. You haven't paid yet."
Lu Xiaobai was extremely anxious. He didn't know anyone else in this place except He Qin's family. The road to Lujia Village was too far and he didn't know the way, so he couldn't go back alone.
If he got lost, if he couldn't find He Qin, he might never be able to go back.
Lu Xiaobai's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears fell one by one like beads that had broken off the string.
This frightened the stall owner. He frowned and said, "Forget it, little brother, give me the cake and I'll give you one. Go home now."
Lu Xiaobai shook her head, returned the cake to the stall owner, pouted her lips and tried to hold back her tears as she said, "My, my husband is missing..."
The boy was spoiled and he had seen many crying boys before. He smiled subconsciously when he heard this. He wrapped a new cake for him and stuffed it into his hand, saying, "Your husband is missing. Go home and look for him. Here, this is for you. Come buy more later when you like it."
"Oh, thank you, boss..."
Lu Xiaobai held the cake in one hand and the silver in the other, pouted her lips and held back her tears as she walked forward, wanting to find He Qin.
He hadn't walked a few steps when a man rushed out, grabbed his hand and shouted, "You're running around again! Go home!"
“Who are you?”
Lu Xiaobai was so frightened that his face turned pale. He struggled subconsciously, but the man was too strong. Not only could he not break free, but his wrist was pinched so hard that it hurt.
The man sneered: "Brother, you still ask who I am? I serve you delicious food and drinks every day, but you don't even recognize your husband. You even steal money from home to buy sesame cakes. Just wait and see how I deal with you when I get home!"
"No, I don't know you. You are not my husband. Let me go. Let go!"
Lu Xiaobai was dragged forward by the man. Not to mention fighting or resisting, the man was tall and had long legs, and his steps were too fast. He couldn't even keep up with him.
But the people around him were used to it, and some even pointed at Lu Xiaobai and said he was ungrateful.
Lu Xiaobai was anxious and scared, his face was as pale as paper, and he cried as he looked for He Qin in the crowd.
"stop!"
A cold but familiar voice sounded, and the man suddenly stopped. Lu Xiaobai knelt on the ground without any strength left, and his gray-white pants were instantly stained with dust.
But Lu Xiaobai no longer cared because he heard He Qin's voice.
He looked up happily and saw He Qin disguised as Scarface walking towards them.
The moment he saw He Qin, Lu Xiaobai felt relieved and aggrieved. He opened his mouth but before he could say the name He Qin, his hand was freed from the man's hand by He Qin.
The man was kicked and rolled on the ground twice before stopping. He then stood up and wanted to find He Qin to settle the score, but looking at He Qin's fierce scar on his face, he subconsciously became frightened and roared with a lack of confidence: "I'm taking my wife home, don't you mind your own business!"
He Qin glanced at the man coldly, then carefully held the frightened boy in his arms and asked in a deep voice, "You said you are his husband, then who am I?"
