Chapter 274 Life-saving Talisman
"Madam? Madam, please say something."
The more I thought about Liu Ji, the more I wanted to cry. It's true that there's no such thing as a free lunch. Who would be so cheap as to work like a slave for someone else without even a penny?
This Awang must have approached them with a purpose!
Looking at Liu Ji who was twisting like a maggot under her, Qin Yao raised her hand to support her forehead, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.
How could someone be so stupid!
Even if a pie falls from the sky, can it fall on you, Liu Ji? Don't you know your own identity? What do they want from you?
So that you are penniless and shameless?
"Get out of the way!" Qin Yao swung her legs, and Liu Ji slid three meters away.
But his hands and feet were extremely flexible. He crawled back with two grunts and lay on her knees, trembling, but he didn't let go. "My dear, don't be angry. I was wrong, I was wrong. If that man is really a vicious fugitive, you must protect me~"
Qin Yao lifted him up from her legs by the back of his collar and warned him with her eyes that he'd better stand still. If he came any closer, it would not be as simple as a simple warning with her eyes.
Liu Ji was very aware of the situation and stood up immediately, but he still looked at her with fear in his eyes.
Qin Yao said: "They are coming for me."
"What?" Liu Ji was shocked. "My lady, have you offended anyone?"
Although he shouted every day for God to take this evil woman away, if something really happened to her, this family would be finished!
Qin Yao waved her hand, "Probably not."
Liu Ji let out a long sigh, "Since he didn't mean to harm you, he must have come here to seek shelter from you, my lady."
Qin Yao felt that Liu Ji was not that stupid sometimes, and he was quite quick to react to these things.
"Your guess is correct. He may be hiding from his enemies and doesn't want to show his face."
There was one thing Qin Yao didn't say. Unlike the people in the martial arts world that Liu Ji had guessed, she felt that Awang was more like a shameless assassin who hid in the dark and was not willing to show his face to the public.
But logically speaking, these death warriors who have received rigorous training since childhood will not defect - they simply will not allow themselves to have the thought of betraying their master.
Even if the master dies, he will only choose to commit suicide to be buried with him.
"Who cares? He's in our house, so he's one of ours." Qin Yao shrugged. There was no need to dwell on such things. As long as they were sure that Awang wasn't here to kill their entire family and wouldn't pose a life-threatening risk to the children, that would be enough.
Liu Ji was still a little scared, "Then I will be more polite to him in the future."
"No need." Qin Yao told him to do whatever he wanted. Their guesses were just guesses after all, and they needed Awang to reveal more clues before they could determine his true identity.
"If you have nothing better to do, try to test him to see what his true nature is like," Qin Yao advised.
Liu Ji was familiar with this matter, so he just had to do his best to help others. He patted his chest and guaranteed that he would do it for Qin Yao.
But I was still a little confused, "Madam, why do you think he chose our house to hide?"
Qin Yao showed a complicated expression, not knowing whether to laugh or hate, "Maybe he thinks I can help him solve a lot of problems."
At least he didn't harm ordinary people.
Liu Ji snorted, "I didn't realize he was such a thoughtful person."
Qin Yao listened attentively to the noise in the backyard. There was a rustling sound in the attic of the warehouse. She guessed that the people in the attic were also paying attention to their every move.
There was a sound of snoring in the children's room next door, and the four children had fallen asleep.
"Go to bed." Qin Yao got up, opened the door, and went back to her room to rest.
As soon as she left, Liu Ji suddenly felt that the shadows of the trees around him were as scary as ghosts. He hurriedly picked up the candlestick in the main room and quickly hid in his own room.
He placed the candlestick on the table and looked through the wall towards the attic for a while, making sure that he couldn't hear any unusual behavior from Awang. Only then did he sit down at the table, comforted by the warm candlelight.
Liu Ji opened the desk drawer, took out his writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and started writing late into the night.
The content was the information of the rickshaw drivers in the villages near Jinshi Town that he had inquired about today. He wrote them down one by one and compiled them into a table so that he could give it to Qin Yao for review.
Liu Ji was still a little thankful that he had picked up a very dangerous person today. He had just prepared himself mentally to be severely beaten up by Qin Yao.
Unexpectedly, she didn't do anything and he escaped.
But there is no guarantee that she will be clear-headed when she wakes up tomorrow and suddenly think of this again.
Therefore, what Liu Ji was staying up late to work on was not the driver information form, but a life-saving talisman.
There are quite a lot of coachmen in Jinshi Town, a total of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight people, scattered across various villages.
There is also a small fleet in the town, which has been cooperating with the escort agency all year round. Although Liu Ji thought that this small fleet would not have the possibility of cooperating with the stationery factory, he still wrote it down.
Isn't it just writing more to show that he worked hard during the day? He was doing the things she asked him to do with all his heart and had no time to watch beautiful women setting up honey traps!
The next day, when Qin Yao opened the door, she saw Liu Ji appear in front of her with a pair of panda eyes and a smirk on his face.
I was shocked and wondered what was wrong with him.
His face was calm, "What bad things have you done?"
Liu Ji shook his head and respectfully handed over the driver information form that he had written all night last night, "Madam, please take a look!"
Qin Yao did not mention this matter yesterday because she thought Liu Ji did not do anything and was only busy watching Liu Li's family buy a servant and competing with others.
In addition, it was late at night and I was feeling sleepy, so I didn't pursue the matter.
I didn’t expect that even the statistical table was produced overnight?
Qin Yao glanced at Liu Ji suspiciously, then picked up the information sheet he handed over and looked at it in disbelief. The handwriting was neat and the lines in the table were drawn neatly, straighter than the ink fountain that Carpenter Liu had flicked out.
The key point is that the content on the information form is very complete, including the driver's basic information and home address, as well as which route he usually takes and how much he charges.
Qin Yao raised her eyebrows in surprise and stuffed the information form into her arms. She no longer needed to modify it and could hand it directly to the brothers Liu Bo and Liu Fei who were in charge of transportation.
"Madam, are you satisfied with the driver's watch?" Liu Ji asked confidently.
Qin Yao nodded, and the two walked towards the main room. The table was already set with rice porridge and side dishes. Awang came up from the kitchen with the last large tray of sorghum and wheat cakes, placed them on the table, stepped back to the door, and said respectfully:
"Master, Madam, breakfast is ready. Do you want to call the young masters and young ladies to come and eat?"
The children were still reading in the study room, and Dalang was completing his daily basic training in the backyard.
Qin Yao shook her head. "Just leave it for them. They will come over to eat after they finish their morning task. Don't disturb them for now."
In the past, we never had breakfast so early at home. We usually had it in the middle of the morning, having breakfast and lunch together.
Because everyone in the family had their own things to do in the morning, no one had time to go into the kitchen early in the morning. Only after Liu Ji finished his task did the family of six have time to sit in the main room to eat breakfast.
Today's breakfast is on time because there is a new member, Awang, in the family.
