Chapter 162 A man who looks a lot like him
The figure ran very fast in the dark night. Xie Jing chased after him for a long time. Suddenly, four men appeared. Each of them was dressed in a powerful outfit. It was obvious that they knew kung fu.
The four men rushed towards Xie Jing without saying a word.
The fierce palm wind carried a murderous aura. Xie Jing quickly dodged to the side. After hitting the man's arm with one palm, he quickly pushed away and avoided the attack of the other three men.
Xue Yi, who followed closely behind, also joined the fight.
Being intercepted by the four men, Xie Jing watched the figure disappear in the dark night with his eyes wide open. He didn't know who the man was, why he appeared in Li's house?
Would he know his mother?
The four men didn't want to fight and quickly evaded.
When Xue Yi was about to chase, Xie Jing stopped him. "No need to chase."
Xue Yi paused and looked back at Xie Jing. "The person who ran away might know the clue."
Xie Jing looked into the darkness and said lightly, "I can't catch up."
That person's kung fu is not weak, and now I don't know where he ran to.
As for the other four, their kung fu is also good. Four people in four directions will not be stupid enough to let them chase.
Xie Jing said so, Xue Yi naturally did not question it. This is a tacit understanding formed over the years.
"Go back." Xie Jing turned around and walked back.
Xue Yi did not stay for long and followed him back.
Xie Jing returned to the inn, took his clothes to take a shower, and came to the bed after changing his clothes.
Jiang Youning was sleeping soundly on the bed. He sat down beside the bed and looked at her sleeping face in the dim light. She looked like a child when she was asleep.
The round fan in her hand was tilted on the pillow. He reached out to touch her forehead and found that it was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Xie Jing withdrew his hand and turned over to the bed. He took the round fan from Jiang Youning's hand and fanned her.
The next day, during breakfast, Jiang Youning asked while chewing a meat bun in his hand: "General, did you get any gains last night?"
Xie Jing stopped eating the meat bun, looked up at Jiang Youning, "Yes, I met someone."
Jiang Youning asked excitedly: "Then what?"
Xie Jing answered concisely: "Let him run away."
Jiang Youning paused chewing, "Run away?"
Xie Jing said: "Well, the other party has guards, so he should not be an ordinary person."
"That's a pity." Jiang Youning took a big bite of the meat bun with regret.
Xie Jing looked at Jiang Youning's bulging cheeks, "It's a pity."
Jiang Youning finished the meat bun in his hand and picked up another meat bun, "Is the general going out today?"
Xie Jing said, "Yes, the man should be nearby."
Jiang Youning said, "Then my brother and I will go to eat saltwater duck today. When we come back, I will bring you a portion. How about that?"
Xie Jing nodded, "Okay."
After finishing his meal, Xie Jing went out of the inn with Xue Yi.
Jiang Youning and Jiang Qibai followed him out.
It has been several days since he came out, and Jiang Qibai couldn't help asking: "Sister, what did Xie Jing come out for this time?"
Jiang Youning leaned close to Jiang Qibai's ear and whispered: "He came to look for someone."
"Looking for someone?" Jiang Qibai asked puzzledly: "Who?"
Jiang Youning retracted his neck, "I can't tell you this for the time being."
Jiang Qibai asked: "Why can't you tell it now?"
Jiang Youning answered as a matter of course: "Xie Jing said it will be kept secret for the time being."
Jiang Qibai: "..."
In modern times, his sister told him everything, but now she doesn't tell him because of Xie Jing?
"You don't trust big brother?"
Jiang Youning said seriously: "This has nothing to do with trust, it's a question of integrity. If I tell you, what if Xie Jing doesn't tell me next time?"
"I won't tell Xie Jing." Jiang Qibai doesn't care who Xie Jing finds, what he cares about is that his sister doesn't tell him for another man.
Jiang Youning said: "I know big brother is talking about a calm and reserved man, but when it comes to Xie Jing, big brother can't control his emotions. To be on the safe side, I can't tell."
Jiang Qibai: "..." Big brother is not important because he has a boyfriend?
He doesn't even talk to him. Isn't this a question of trust?
Jiang Youning was afraid that Jiang Qibai would continue to ask questions, so she pulled his arm and walked to the shop nearby, "Brother, let's go buy some food."
Jiang Qibai sighed helplessly and followed her in.
Chuntao put away her paper umbrella and followed in.
When she came out, Jiang Youning was smiling and holding a big bag of food in her hand.
Seeing his sister so happy, Jiang Qibai also smiled.
Then he took his sister to the famous salted duck restaurant in Yangzhou.
Jiang Qibai ordered a salted duck and asked his sister, "Is it enough?"
Jiang Youning raised two fingers, "Two, there are three of us."
Jiang Qibai paused when he heard this and glanced at Chuntao who was standing nearby. Every time his sister ate something, she would give a portion to Chuntao.
He looked up at the waiter, "Two saltwater ducks."
Chuntao felt a little embarrassed. She was the only one who could enjoy being fed by her son, right?
"Okay!" The waiter shouted and walked out of the private room. Not long after, he brought two saltwater ducks.
Jiang Youning picked up a piece of saltwater duck with chopsticks and couldn't wait to put it in her mouth and take a bite. The meat was very tender. Although it didn't taste as good as roast duck, it was not bad.
Jiang Qibai had no interest in food, but it was a pleasure to eat for his sister. He couldn't help eating a few pieces when he saw it.
After eating the saltwater duck, Jiang Youning originally planned to pack one, but considering the hot weather, she planned to pack it when she came back.
In order to take his sister to eat delicious food, Jiang Qibai made a special guide to learn about local food and beautiful scenery, so that his sister could eat and play while digesting food.
There was a Yangzhou cake shop nearby, and Jiang Qibai waited until his sister was dwarfed by pastries and biscuits, and took her there after eating salted duck.
Jiang Youning looked at the shops on both sides of the street and was attracted by a slender figure. She looked at him carefully. The man was slender and his height was almost the same as that of the eldest brother. He was wearing a dark green brocade robe and his profile was very similar to Xie Jing.
The man also had a beard.
I didn't expect that after several days, I would meet the man who looked like Xie Jing here.
Jiang Youning walked over without thinking, for fear that if she was late, he would disappear again.
When she walked in front of the man, Jiang Youning looked at the man's face excitedly. His eyebrows and eyes were like paintings, very similar to those of Xie Jing. Although he had a beard, he didn't look very old. He
also looked like Xie Jing without saying a word and smiling.
Chuntao followed behind holding an umbrella, watching Jiang Youning staring at the strange man, feeling embarrassed and not knowing what to do.
How could she stare at a man in public?
Gu Changyu also found that a little girl was looking at him. It was common to be stared at by girls when going out, and he didn't care at first.
However, this girl was not like other girls, who would secretly glance at him or look away after a few glances.
The one in front of him not only stood in front of him and stared at him without blinking, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore, and lowered his eyes to look at the brave girl in front of him.
When he saw the girl's face clearly, he suspected that the girl was not yet of marriageable age. Her cheeks were white and tender, her facial features were small and delicate, and she was as beautiful as a porcelain doll.
"Miss, is there something?"
Jiang Youning also found that she had been looking at him for a long time, and was afraid of scaring him away. She had to find a way to bring him back to the inn so that Xie Jing could see him. What if they were related?
Anyway, she couldn't miss it.
She smiled and said, "Uncle, long time no see!"
Chuntao: "..." Miss, what are you doing?
Jiang Qibai pointed at the Yangzhou cake and asked his sister, "How much do you want to buy?"
When he turned around, he found that his sister was gone.
Jiang Qibai was stunned for a moment, looked around a few times, and saw Jiang Youning's figure five meters away.
"How come you have grown up and left without saying a word?"
When I took my sister to the supermarket when I was a child, I had to hold hands, otherwise, if I turned around, my sister would disappear.
Jiang Xibai walked over helplessly, holding her hand like when they were little, "There are a lot of bad guys outside, be careful not to get kidnapped."
Gu Changyu looked at the man who suddenly walked over and held the girl's hand, and then looked at Jiang Youning.
Jiang Youning looked at Gu Changyu and then at Jiang Xibai, feeling a little embarrassed. Why did her elder brother come at this time when there were so many other times?
Jiang Xibai found something wrong, and looked at the man opposite. He seemed a little familiar at first glance, and after a few more glances, he found that he looked a bit like Xie Jing.
He suddenly remembered that his sister said a few days ago that she saw a man who looked a bit like Xie Jing.
Could the man in front of him be him?
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Youning's eyes turned, and she smiled and said to her elder brother: "Brother, I found the uncle."
Jiang Xibai: "..." Uncle?
He looked at the man in front of him. Although he had a beard, he was not much older than him.
However, in order to cooperate with his sister in acting, he looked at Gu Changyu with surprise, "Uncle."
Gu Changyu looked at the man and woman in front of him and roughly guessed that they had mistaken each other for someone else.
"You have mistaken each other for someone else
. I am not the uncle you are talking about." Jiang Youning said aggrievedly: "Uncle, we haven't seen each other for only a year, how could you forget us? Last year, you promised me that you would take me to eat salted duck, jadeite roasted wheat, etc. How can you go back on your word when you are so old?"
Jiang Qibai has lived for thirty years, no, almost thirty-one years, and he still has to act with his sister. It's too hard for him.
"My sister is right, uncle did promise my sister."
Gu Changyu: "..."
How similar do they have to look to make such a grown man blind?
Gu Changyu looked at Jiang Qibai, "How old are you this year?"
Jiang Qibai replied, "I'm thirty this year."
Gu Changyu: "..." It's ok for the girl to make the wrong choice because she is young, but you are old, how can you make the wrong choice?
"You are thirty years old, can't you see that I am not the uncle she is looking for?"
Jiang Qibai lied with his eyes open, "Uncle, if you don't want to keep your promise, you can just say it openly. Why pretend that you don't know my sister and make her sad?"
Jiang Youning looked at Gu Changyu aggrievedly, "Uncle, is it because I have grown up and you didn't recognize me? My eldest brother said that I am a little different from last year."
A girl changes a lot?
Gu Changyu stared at Jiang Youning for a long time, "At how old do you think a girl changes a lot? Has she reached the age of 15?"
When Jiang Youning heard the word "15", her face was full of confidence, "I reached the age of 15 half a year ago."
Gu Changyu: "..." He really didn't see it.
"Uncle, the Yangzhou cakes there are delicious."
Jiang Qibai looked at his sister's greedy look, probably guessing that she wanted to get closer to the man in front of her, and then...
He remembered that his sister had just said that Xie Jing came to Yangzhou to find someone.
Could it be the person in front of him?
He widened his eyes, could it be that he was thinking of that level of relationship?
Gu Changyu looked in the direction of Jiang Youning's finger, and there was a shop selling baked cakes not far away.
Looking at the little girl in front of him, she was cute and likable. It would be nice if he had a daughter as cute as her.
He had no shortage of money, and buying some food would not cost much.
"I'll take you to buy it."
Jiang Youning's almond eyes curved happily, "Thank you, uncle."
"Let's go." Gu Changyu took the lead.
Jiang Youning turned around and gestured to his elder brother.
Jiang Qibai smiled and followed.
Chuntao held the paper umbrella with a confused look on her face.
Jiang Youning asked Gu Changyu to buy a lot of food. She couldn't hold it with both hands, so she gave it to Jiang Qibai.
Gu Changyu looked back at Jiang Youning and saw that she was stuffing a piece of Yangzhou biscuit into her mouth, then took a big bite. Her cheeks bulged. When she saw him looking at her, her beautiful almond eyes immediately curved into crescents.
How could there be such a lovely girl?
It's a pity that she is someone else's daughter.
"I have already bought you the food you want. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Seeing that he was leaving, Jiang Youning swallowed the biscuit in her mouth. She had bitten too big just now and almost choked to death when swallowing it.
After swallowing it with great difficulty, he didn't even have time to catch his breath, and said anxiously: "Uncle, don't leave in a hurry, I have a gift for you."
Gu Changyu chuckled: "I appreciate the gift, go back."
After Gu Changyu finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Qibai, a little worried, "You take her back. She is so grown up, if you can't take care of your sister, think how embarrassing it will be?"
Jiang Qibai: "..." You actually lectured him? Who are you?
After Gu Changyu finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Youning again, and then turned and left.
Jiang Youning saw that Gu Changyu was going to leave, and no matter what method was used, she would take him back to the inn to see Xie Jing.
She ran to Gu Changyu without thinking, stretched out her hand to stop him, and started to talk nonsense.
"Uncle, you said that people should be honest. I promised to give you a gift."
Seeing the girl's sincerity, Gu Changyu couldn't bear to refuse. "Well, where is the gift?"
"The gift is in the inn, Fulai inn, very close." Jiang Youning felt a little guilty. She did this to avoid missing any possibility.
Gu Changyu knew that Fulai inn was not far away.
"Let's go."
Jiang Youning breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he agreed. When she turned around, she secretly wiped her sweat. It was too difficult for her.
Fulai inn was not far away. The sign was seen in about a cup of tea.
When she arrived at the door of the inn, Jiang Youning thought, I finally brought someone back. I wonder if Xie Jing is back?
Gu Changyu stopped and said to Jiang Youning, "I'll wait for you here."
Jiang Youning nodded readily, "Okay, I'll go upstairs to get the gift."
She turned her head and looked at Jiang Qibai, "Brother, please accompany me for some tea."
Jiang Youning said, holding up her skirt and went up the stairs.
Jiang Qibai found an empty table, asked Gu Changyu to sit down, and asked the waiter to serve tea.
Good morning, babies!
