Chapter 265: We Can Only Stop Here
Matchmaker Qin ran out of Heihe Village in one breath, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and walked slowly towards the village humming a little tune.
A carriage was coming from the front, and Qin the matchmaker hurriedly stood by the roadside to avoid it.
A gust of wind blew, and the door curtain opened a crack. Chen Xing took a look and saw Qin the matchmaker on the side of the road. His face suddenly changed.
"How is she still alive?!"
"What?" Nong Yue asked casually while tidying up the teacups.
"The old woman who was poisoned has recovered and is right outside!"
Nong Yue rushed to the car window and opened the curtain, "It's definitely her!"
Chen Xing said: "How is this possible? Those two people in the town died, but this woman survived. Who saved her?"
"Let's go find out tonight!"
At this time, the carriage stopped and Wu Yong shouted outside: "Sir, we have arrived at Heihe Village!"
Zhou Huaining, who was sleeping soundly on a soft pillow, opened his eyes. "Okay, okay, I'm finally here again. This time, I must stay for two more days!"
Last time he came as a county magistrate, and since the headmaster was there, he couldn't stay any longer, so he went back to the county government office after lunch.
Zhou Huaining got off the carriage. The villagers on the city wall stretched their necks to look out and asked uncertainly, "Excuse me, is this the county magistrate or Mr. Ning?"
"It's me!" Zhou Huaining laughed.
"It's Master Ning!" The villagers came to open the door happily.
Compared to the county magistrate, they still prefer to deal with Master Ning, at least they don't have to kneel down at every turn.
"What is the purpose of digging this mountain like this?" Zhou Huaining asked.
"A nearby village is coming to build a school, and Miss Rong'er is going to be the female teacher!"
Zhou Huaining laughed heartily: "Such a fast pace! Heihe Village is really becoming more and more interesting!"
After entering the village, Wu Yong and his companions were responsible for driving away the chickens and ducks on the road. The villagers also helped to drive them away, knowing that Mr. Ning was afraid of chickens and ducks.
Zhou Huaining arrived at the Ye family without any obstruction.
Before I even entered the door, I heard Xiao Jiuer's laughter coming from the yard.
"Xiao Jiuer, uncle is here to see you!"
The laughter stopped, and the little girl said anxiously in her baby voice, "Susu, no no, don't come in!"
"Why?" Zhou Huaining smiled frivolously and quickened his pace to run to the yard. "Uncle wants to see what bad things you, a clever little fellow, are doing!"
As soon as Zhou Huaining rushed into the Chuihua Gate, what caught his eye was an extremely huge eagle.
That pointed beak was even scarier than the scariest bird beak he had ever seen.
Zhou Huaining screamed and fainted.
Chen Xingnong Yue caught him and saved him from falling headfirst.
"What's he doing?" Hawkeye was bewildered. "Did he faint after seeing me? I don't intend to settle accounts with him!"
Little Dumpling: “…”
When Zhou Huaining woke up, he found himself sitting on a recliner in the yard. Little Dumpling was lying on the armrest of the chair, holding his chin with his little hands and looking at him cutely.
"Xiao Jiu'er..."
"Susu, wake up!" Little Dumpling stood up and said with a pout, "Susu didn't listen to me, now you're in trouble, right?"
Zhou Huaining nodded: "Uncle is wrong, uncle will definitely listen to you in the future."
"Yeah! Susu, you didn't tie it, did you?"
"It's okay." Zhou Huaining looked around vigilantly, "Where's the eagle just now?"
"Don't worry, you won't see it in the backyard." A rough voice came, Hawkeye walked from the backyard, and then closed the backyard door.
Zhou Huaining jumped up from his chair, "Why are you here?"
Hawkeye put his hands in his pockets, "If you can come, why can't I? Besides, this is my boss's home!"
Zhou Huaining asked in surprise: "Who is your boss?"
"Who else could it be?" Hawkeye smiled and picked up the little girl. "Of course it's everyone's beloved Little Nine!"
Zhou Huaining smiled happily, "So you have such a good relationship with Xiao Jiuer, and I have a good relationship with Xiao Jiuer too!"
In this case, does it mean that our relationship is also very good?
"Thank you for giving me the mountain!" Hawkeye said carelessly, "Thanks to you, the brothers on the mountain finally have their own home! The previous grudges are wiped out, and you don't have to worry about what happened that day anymore."
"I'm very happy to hear you say that." Zhou Huaining actually felt a little embarrassed.
"Boss, the white falcon is fine, it just ate too much." Hawkeye smiled at Xiao Jiuer, "Don't pamper it. It can catch field mice, pheasants, etc. by itself. It won't starve."
"Chicken Road!"
"Then I'll go back first." Hawkeye put Xiao Jiuer down, "If you want to see me, ask White Falcon to send me a message, and I will come to you as soon as possible!"
“Okay!”
Hawkeye touched the little boy's face and strode out.
Zhou Huaining couldn't help but follow him, "Um... do you want to stay for dinner?"
"No, it's very busy in the mountains." Hawkeye kept walking.
"The food at Xiaojiuer's house is delicious!" Zhou Huaining followed closely.
Hawkeye didn't say anything else, and the two of them left the Ye family one after the other.
"Young Master..." Wu Yong and others followed.
Those are bandits. Why are you following them?
"Don't follow me." Zhou Huaining waved his hand and asked them to go back.
Chen Xingnong Yue had no choice but to watch from afar with full caution.
"Xiao Jiuer doesn't know about me yet, so don't tell her." Hawkeye said.
Zhou Huaining immediately understood what Hawkeye was talking about, and felt a surge of joy in his heart for no reason. "Okay, I won't tell you!"
This is a secret between him and her, a secret that even Xiao Jiuer doesn't know!
However, he couldn't figure out one thing: "Since you've decided not to be a bandit anymore, why don't you just return to being a girl?"
Hawkeye laughed and said, "What's so good about being a woman? How can it be as free and easy as being a man? I will live as a man for the rest of my life!"
Zhou Huaining: "No way?!"
"Why are you reacting so strongly?" Hawkeye looked at Zhou Huaining calmly, "No matter whether I'm a man or a woman, you and I are destined to never even be friends."
"Why?"
"Our statuses are different." Hawkeyes' eyes were filled with loneliness. "I thank you for buying the mountain, but our friendship can only end here. Do you understand?"
Zhou Huaining shook his head, "I don't understand. Identity is bullshit in my eyes."
Hawkeye looked up at the sky and said calmly, "I won't force you to understand. In short, don't become interested in me just because you think I'm mysterious, and don't try to pry into my secrets. Otherwise, I'll have White Falcon greet you three times a day."
