"Excuse me, are you Brother Lin from Qinghe Village?"
The tall man knocked on the door and was stunned the moment he looked up.
Almost at the same time, the man and Hu Yunxiao spoke at the same time.
"Brother Tiger! Why are you here?"
"Qiangzi! What do you want to do with Achi?"
Both of them looked surprised. Bai Chi also hid behind Hu Yunxiao and looked at Qiangzi at the door with some surprise and nervousness.
"You, who are you? What do you want from me?"
Hu Yunxiao immediately realized that Achi didn’t know this guy!
At the same time, he blocked Bai Chi behind him, and the previous surprise turned into a warning.
"Qiangzi, why are you looking for Achi? Could it be that you, like those people from Qinghe Village, have bullied Achi?"
Qiangzi waved his hand: "Brother Hu, what are you talking about? I'm a grown man, why should I bully a little brat like him?"
He didn't rush into the house, but just looked behind Hu Yunxiao and saw Bai Chi sticking half of his head out.
"I'm a friend of Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin heard that your house burned down and asked me to see how you were doing. I went to Qinghe Village and found out that you had arrived in town yesterday, so I came here to look for you."
As he spoke, Qiangzi took out a string of copper coins from his arms.
"Mr. Lin said he often buys eggs from you. Consider this as an advance gift for you. Just use it as a last resort and you can give him eggs later."
Bai Chi breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Hu Yunxiao's clothes.
"Brother Hu, Mr. Lin is from Taohua Village. I have always sold my eggs to him."
The three of them then let down their guard against each other. Hu Yunxiao asked the waiter to add a set of bowls and chopsticks, fried two side dishes, and brought over a small pot of wine. Then the three of them sat down at the table together.
Hu Yunxiao first served Bai Chi a bowl of chicken soup, especially putting two chicken legs in the bowl.
"No need for money. I accidentally burned down Achi's house yesterday. I have just contacted the workers and we can start rebuilding the house tomorrow."
Qiangzi looked at Hu Yunxiao, then at Bai Chi, seemed to understand something, and laughed as he took the money back.
"That's great, it won't worry the scholar. But Brother Tiger, when did you arrive in Qinghe Town? Could it be that you were the brave man who killed the tiger earlier?"
Hu Yunxiao snorted, which was considered as an admission.
Qiangzi poured him a glass of wine: "As expected of Brother Tiger, you are still so brave."
Bai Chi looked at the two of them and didn't let Xiao Hei investigate Qiangzi. Lin Xiucai was a rare person and could be considered a friend of the original owner.
He would also talk and communicate with the original owner, saying that although his hair was different from others, it was just an illness and not a monster.
Moreover, in the original owner's memory, there was also a hunter beside Lin Xiucai, who appeared around this period of time.
However, the original owner was timid, and Lin Xiucai also knew that he was timid. The original owner had almost never met the hunter.
When the original owner was burned to death as a monster, it was too late when Lin Xiucai heard the news and rushed over. However, in the original owner's last memory, there was indeed a tall man following Lin Xiucai.
That should be this Qiangzi.
Tsk tsk, it seems that the relationship between Mr. Lin and Qiangzi is not simple.
No wonder Mr. Lin is already in his twenties, but there are so many people proposing marriage to him. Even because of his good looks, some wealthy families have their eyes on him.
In the end, none of them worked out and I’m still single now.
Bai Chi was watching the fun in his heart. Hu Yunxiao and Qiangzi also started chatting. Qiangzi really admitted generously that he had come to find Lin Xiucai on purpose and was now living with Lin Xiucai.
Hu Yunxiao was obviously not surprised. He had known for a long time that his brother had a lover who was a scholar, but he had never met her. He didn't even know that she also knew Bai Chi.
This is fate.
After they had been eating and drinking for about half an hour, Bai Chi began to understand what they meant. They were both from the same hometown, orphans without parents, and had grown up relying on the help of the villagers.
We joined the army together ten years ago and have been through a lot for ten years. Hundreds of people who went with us died or were injured, but only two of us are still alive and well. We have even made some contributions. In addition, there have been no wars in recent years, so we used some connections to retire.
Qiangzi's full name is Zhang Qiang. He came back for Lin Xiucai, while Hu Yunxiao left because he was tired of life at the border.
But I didn’t expect that neither of them returned to their hometown.
"By the way, Brother Hu, I've been preparing for my household registration these days. What about you? What are your plans? You're not going back, are you?"
Zhang Qiang also knew that Hu Yunxiao and Bai Chi had just met yesterday, but he was an experienced person and he could tell at a glance that it was love at first sight between Hu Yunxiao and Bai Chi.
As he said this, he glanced at Bai Chi. Sure enough, he saw that Bai Chi paused in feeding the cat and looked at Hu Yunxiao with some uneasiness.
But Hu Yunxiao didn't see it.
Hu Yunxiao shook his head directly.
"I'm not going back. Yesterday I sent a letter to the village chief. I also sent some money and food back. I asked the village chief to distribute it to everyone in the village. I'm not going back."
Zhang Qiang was not surprised and simply said, "Then I'll register your household registration as well. It will save a lot of trouble if my scholar comes forward."
There was a lot of pride in his eyes.
Hu Yunxiao naturally did not refuse, but just offered a glass of wine. The two brothers had been through life and death together for many years, and no longer needed so many polite words.
After having a good meal and a drink, Zhang Qiang was eager to go back, and he did not forget to pack some game for Lin Xiucai from the restaurant.
It’s so hot these dog days of summer, but unfortunately the town is so remote that you can’t buy ice at all.
Hu Yunxiao asked the shopkeeper for a rocking chair and let Bai Chi take a nap in it. He began to feel drowsy after a slight rocking, which was more comfortable than lying in bed.
