"You two, why are you here?" Gao Miao invited the guests into the main room.

Mrs. Xie called Gao Zhi over and said, "Jiaojiao, mother is a little busy. Go to the main room and greet the guests with Xiao Miao."

Gao Zhi nodded and thought: Boss Qin, my mother is very smart. She must have noticed your little tricks and is avoiding you now.

"Mom, you go do your thing."

"Yeah." Xie thought for a moment and pulled Gao Zhi again.

Gao Zhi asked, "Mom, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Mrs. Xie whispered, "Don't invite the guests to dinner. Our family is busy today and I'm afraid I won't have time to cook."

Gao Zhi understood immediately!

Mrs. Xie didn't want to have dinner at the same table with Boss Qin.

"good!"

Gao Zhi came into the main room carrying hot water. Boss Qin glanced towards the door of the main room and saw that there was no one behind Gao Zhi. He felt empty in his heart as well.

"We just happened to get a box of good tea. Boss Qin, Master Yan, can you help me taste it and see if this tea is good?"

Gao Zhi put down the kettle and turned to look for tea leaves.

Gao Miao has already started washing the tea set.

He reached out and took the tea box from Gao Zhi, "I'll do it! You sit down."

Gao Zhi really didn't care anymore and sat down to look at Boss Qin and the others.

"Boss Qin, Master Yan, I see you are in a hurry. Are you coming back from other places?"

The two nodded.

Boss Qin: "We just came back and heard about the saltpeter in the back mountain. We heard that you offered the back mountain to the court, so we came here to ask.

I just ran into Shi Chao, the manager of Shijiabao, on the road. I wonder if he came here to discuss cooperation?"

If Xie's Workshop cooperates with Shijiabao, does that mean they will not cooperate with a small figure like him?

After all, in front of Shijiabao, no matter how prominent a businessman is, he is not worth mentioning.

Boss Qin looked at Gao Zhi nervously.

Gao Zhi nodded: "Indeed, we are here to discuss cooperation. We have already signed the cooperation agreement."

Boss Qin's expression changed immediately.

Gao Zhi: "Boss Qin, Master Yan, no matter who we cooperate with, our previous cooperation with you will not change.

After so many years, you should know that what we value most is integrity.

Unless the partners no longer want to cooperate, or either party violates the cooperation agreement.

Otherwise, we will all continue to work together.”

Hearing this, Boss Qin and Mr. Yan felt relieved.

That's good!

They met Shi Chao on the way and became panicked.

In the past, the Xie family workshop was just a small workshop. Although it grew bigger and bigger, it was still just a small workshop in the eyes of wealthy families.

But it’s different now!

Now, Gao Miao is a juren, and he also donated the saltpeter from the back mountain to the court.

Such behavior directly made Gao Miao feel his presence in front of the emperor.

Gao Miao was different from ordinary juren.

If I didn't want to cooperate with them just now, there was nothing they could do.

Gao Miao brewed the tea and divided it into four cups.

Boss Qin quickly stood up and went to pick up the cup.

Gao Miao waved his hand, "Boss Qin, please sit down! I'll do it."

Boss Qin sat down again.

After confirming that the cooperation here would not stop, Master Yan also relaxed. Seeing that Gao Miao did not put on airs, he slowly started chatting about family matters as usual.

Xie never showed up.

Boss Qin looked at the door of the main hall from time to time, but in the end he was disappointed.

Boss Qin was a little restless. What was going on?

In the past, whenever he came here, Xie would personally make tea to entertain him.

Today I always feel something is different.

Gao Zhi thought about Xie's instructions and saw that Mr. Yan and the others had nothing important to do. About half an hour later, Gao Zhi reminded Gao Miao.

"Gao Miao, it's getting late. Let's go to the back mountain to herd sheep. You have to go to the old ancestor's place later.

I'll go with you, so I can check on the old man."

"..." Gao Miao was surprised, but still nodded, "Okay!"

These are not what we need to arrange today. Xiaobai is enough to go to the back mountain to herd the sheep.

When Boss Qin and Mr. Yan heard that they were going to be busy, they stood up and said goodbye.

Gao Miao and Gao Zhi walked them out of the hospital together.

After they left in the carriage.

Gao Miao turned his head and looked at Gao Zhi, "What's wrong?"

"Let's go! Let's go to the back mountain. Didn't I tell you to herd the sheep?" Gao Zhi took Gao Miao's hand and turned to the back mountain from the side path.

Gao Miao smiled helplessly yet dotingly.

This girl is looking for a place to talk.

When they reached the back mountain, Gao Zhi walked to the big rock with familiarity and jumped up. His butt did not touch the rock, but Gao Miao held him around the waist and hung him in the air.

"!!!" Gao Zhi looked at Gao Miao in confusion and reached out to push his shoulder.

"What are you doing? I want to go up and sit!"

Gao Miao put her down and said, "The stone has been exposed to the sun for a day. If you sit on it, it will become a monkey's butt."

Gao Zhi reached out and touched the stone, then immediately retracted his hand.

It’s a bit hot!

"Then let's go for a walk?"

"Let's go!"

The two walked up the mountain, out of the wall, and continued to go up.

Both of them were silent.

Gao Miao was waiting for Gao Zhi to speak.

He was not in a hurry to talk. He particularly enjoyed the feeling of being together with just one person, enjoying the breeze and climbing mountains.

Xiaobai didn't run around, but followed them obediently this time.

Like a follower!

Suddenly, Xiaobai, who had just been secretly praised by Gao Miao for being a good boy, ran into the woods like crazy.

After a while, Xiaobai ran back with a piece of blood-stained cloth in his mouth.

Gao Miao and Gao Zhi looked at each other, and they quickly ran into the woods.

Xiaobai was faster than them and ran in front to lead the way.

A man covered in blood was lying behind the grass a few dozen meters away from the path.

The man's head and face were covered in blood, with an arrow stuck in his shoulder and two bloody holes in his abdomen, apparently caused by a long sword.

Oh shit!

Who is so cruel!

Gao Zhi quickly checked the man's breath and found that he was still breathing weakly.

Gao Zhi turned his head and looked at Gao Miao, "He's still alive! But he must be treated in time.

Shall we go and get him back home, shall we?"

Gao Miao shook his head and said, "We can't bring him back home. I'll carry him to the creek and we'll find some herbs to stop the bleeding and bandage him.

When it gets dark, I'll carry him back to the Gao family's old house."

This man's origins are unknown, and with the injuries on his body, even if he was not being hunted by the underworld, he was probably assassinated by a killer hired by someone in the officialdom.

If you rashly bring someone home, it will not only bring trouble to your family, but also to Lao Zhuang Village.

No one lives in the old Gao family house, and the villagers will not notice the row of houses at the back even if the lights are turned on at night.

"Okay! I'll listen to you."

Gao Miao carried the man to the stream and wet a cloth to help him wipe the blood off his face.

Gao Zhi picked up some hemostatic and analgesic medicines along the way.

By the time she came over with the herbal leaves, Gao Miao had already wiped the blood off the man's face.

Gao Zhi looked at the injured man in surprise.

Why is it him?
