Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Three Directions
"Qin Xiong, are you only buying these after coming here? I might make some money, but it's too much of a loss to travel all this way."
Qin Xiong loaded all the goods he bought into the car. Hearing this, he just nodded and took the cigarette that Xiaoshan handed over.
He doesn't smoke, but almost all the men he accompanies him do.
While squatting together smoking, I can learn some good things by listening to these guys who have traveled all over the country chatting.
"You are such a boring person. I would have thought you were mute."
"Hey, now that we're so familiar with each other, tell us a secret. Are you going to be our boss from now on?"
Xiaoshan is a talkative man. Although he doesn't look as strong as Qin Xiong, he has a lot of strength and is good at loading and unloading goods. He has become the leader of this team.
"Nothing." Qin Xiong was choked by the welding smoke, but he resisted the urge to cough. He took a breath and felt refreshed both physically and mentally.
I have been away from home for more than ten days and I miss my family.
"That's why he's been pestering you so much, and that night, I saw it with my own eyes. The young master was drunk and went straight to your room." Xiaoshan showed a slightly obscene expression, looked around to make sure there was no one else around, and said softly.
"I slept in the carriage that night. Didn't you see me when I came out to pee? Well, one or two of them couldn't hold their liquor, but they still wanted to get me drunk and made me dizzy." Qin Xiong asked back, his words were rough.
These guys believe in brotherhood and hate pretense the most.
Xiaoshan smiled and the topic was over.
What they didn't dare tell Qin Xiong was that it was the young master's order that night, asking them to do their best to get Qin Xiong drunk.
Who would have thought this guy could drink so well?
"I have a family." Qin Xiong suddenly said, tapping his welding pipe against the stone beside him. "My wife is a young girl, and we have a good relationship."
Qin Xiong spoke very little along the way, and never talked about his own affairs.
Xiaoshan is a big mouth, and it won't take long for everyone in the convoy to know what he said.
......
The caravans not only come to purchase goods, but also to negotiate business along the way and seek cooperation for their employer's port.
They had other places to go, but their route just happened to overlap with Qin Xiong's return journey.
Get organized and start again.
This section of the road is dangerous and there are many bandits. Everyone in the team has a heavy face and is on guard at all times.
Even the most talkative Xiaoshan stopped talking and looked up at the top of the cliff from time to time.
The Bai family suffered losses here, their goods were stolen, and many people were killed or injured.
But there is no way. To get to the next location, this narrow cliff road is a must.
What's more, the young master Bai Qingya is also in this team. If something happens, they can forget about staying in the Bai family.
Bai Qingya's carriage was in the middle, with carriages carrying goods in front and behind. From the outside, there was no other difference.
But what you fear will come to you.
When a rock suddenly rolled down from the cliff, Xiaoshan shouted "Beware!"
No one panicked. They took out their bows and arrows, machetes, and shouted to the people on the cliff, saying that the goods on this trip were from the government, and if anything went wrong, these bandits would have no chance of survival.
There was a brief silence.
Suddenly, human voices rang out from all directions, calling out as excitedly as monkeys, and echoes echoed from the cliffs.
The originally quiet and peaceful forest hid at least a hundred people, who were running towards the convoy.
"What happened?" Bai Qingya pulled open the curtain and just as he stuck his head out, an arrow shot past his eyes. He was so scared that he fell backwards and rolled in the carriage.
"Young Master! There are bandits, come with me to the front!" At this time, Xiaoshan didn't care about etiquette or hierarchy. He grabbed Bai Qingya's arm, carried him off the horse amid Bai Qingya's screams, and rushed forward quickly.
A bandit behind him drew his bow and arrow, sneering, "Want to run? Have you asked me?"
......
Qin Xiong looked at the terrain. They had as many people as these bandits, and each of them was a strong man.
There is a steep cliff next to it, and you will definitely die if you roll down.
These bandits naturally knew that the main force did not dare to come down, so they just kept shooting and harassing with bows and arrows.
It is impossible to give up the goods.
Let’s not talk about him, let’s just talk about the Bai family. What they are transporting here is real gold and silver.
"Go up and fight them! Xiaojiu, ride your horse to report to the police!" Qin Xiong shouted loudly, grabbing a pine tree nearby and climbing up the cliff next to him nimbly.
He soon became the target of arrows and concentrated fire from the bandits.
Qin Xiong climbed up quickly and pounced on the bandit closest to him. He rolled over and let the man block two arrows for him, then kicked him off the cliff.
After only a few screams, the man disappeared into the mountain stream without a trace.
The people in the convoy also reacted quickly and started to climb up, and the two sides started fighting.
Although the opponents were all desperate criminals, the sight of them being kicked off the cliff one after another was enough to scare them.
"We have already reported to the police! It's up to you whether you want to leave or stay and wait for death!" Qin Xiong said.
"Retreat first!" said the man at the top, meeting Qin Xiong's gaze with a sharp look. "Everyone, come up and throw stones at them. Don't let them get away."
"Hurry up! Let's pass this section first!" Qin Xiong also reacted quickly.
The horse neighed and began to run forward.
Qin Xiong rushed to the front in a few steps, dodging the arrows that could hit his head at any time, while commanding everyone to run.
The goods and other things are nothing to him. He has to go back alive. Tian Ge is still waiting for him at home.
"Brother Qin, I'm scared." Bai Qingya was pulled by Xiaoshan to run, and turned back to say to Qin Xiong with sobs.
Qin Xiong couldn't help feeling a little scared, luckily he didn't let Tian Ge come with him this time.
He was originally conflicted, but fortunately, fortunately.
Xiaoshan was tall and strong, and he ran too fast. Bai Qingya couldn't keep up at all and was basically being dragged along.
With a burst of force, he kicked something and fell face first to the ground.
Qin Xiong glanced back and saw the man at the top holding a bow and arrow towards them. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly grabbed Bai Qingya and pulled her back.
Almost at the same time, an arrow landed on the spot where Bai Qingya was lying.
"Brother Qin, I don't want to die. Save me, save me." Bai Qingya was trembling all over, and was so scared that she couldn't cry.
Qin Xiong picked up the bow and arrow behind him and shot almost as soon as he had set the arrows. Two arrows were fired at the same time, heading straight towards the top of the mountain.
Bai Qingya's whole body was limp and he was grabbed by Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong told him to move forward quickly, but before he could take two steps, an arrow landed right at his feet.
Bai Qingya screamed, her body became unstable, and she leaned towards the cliff next to her, about to fall off.
Qin Xiong reached out to pull, but only pulled a piece of the sleeve. With a "swish", the sleeve was torn open.
After two steps down the cliff, there is a bottomless abyss under a sparse forest of branches and leaves.
"Stop crying!" Qin Xiong's hands were covered in blood from being scratched. He had already broken several thin trees before he could barely keep his balance.
Holding the tree with one hand and pulling Bai Qingya with the other, he was struggling to support himself on the steep slope.
My ears were also annoyed by the crying.
"Hurry up!" Xiaoshan threw down a rope, but the rope was not long enough and only reached above their heads.
Qin Xiong took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, and the muscles in his arms were so tense that they were about to burst.
"Reach out and grab the rope!" Qin Xiong pulled Bai Qingya up with one hand.
When Bai Qingya finally grabbed the rope, he also freed one hand and grabbed the rope.
"Hold on tight, I'll pull you up." Qin Xiong said, tightening the rope two or three times and climbing up.
Looking back at the thin tree he had just held, the roots had already mostly emerged from the soil, and Qin Xiong broke out in a cold sweat.
Looking at the road again, the bandits didn't gain any advantage, but because of the advantage of the terrain, they all climbed to the top. Probably because they didn't have enough bows and arrows, they began to throw stones at their people.
Fortunately, the nearest county town was not far from here, and they had seen soldiers coming towards them from afar.
When Bai Qingya was pulled up, her whole body had turned into a puddle of mud.
"Xiaoshan, quickly carry him..." Qin Xiong was calling for help when he suddenly saw an arrow stuck in Xiaoshan's back, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
Xiaoshan was hit by an arrow when he was pulled up just now.
"I'll come, I'll help." Suddenly a man ran up, picked up Bai Qingya and walked forward.
Qin Xiong went to help Xiaoshan, and his mind suddenly tensed up.
Although the man just now was wearing the clothes of their team, he was not one of them at all!
He picked up the bow and arrow in his hand, which was only a bow but no arrow, and threw it towards the lower back of the man in front of him. The man staggered and fell to the ground.
"Brother, what's wrong? Why are you hitting one of our own?"
“That’s not….”
With a bang, Qin Xiong received a heavy blow on the back of his head, and he saw stars in his eyes.
Looking back, his eyes were a little dazed. He looked carefully and saw that the man had shifty eyes. He would not mistake him. It was the man who had just stood at the top.
"That boy is a rare commodity. Carry him up the mountain and make him my sixth wife." The bandit leader laughed.
Qin Xiong had already sat down, touching the cliff behind him, breathing heavily, the blood on his head flowing down his face. He shook his head, as if tens of thousands of mosquitoes were buzzing in his head.
"As for these people," the bandit leader glanced at Qin Xiong, "throw them all over the cliff. The soldiers are coming soon. Strip them of their clothes and put them on. Be quick."
Being dragged and thrown off the cliff, Qin Xiong, who was originally limp all over, suddenly opened his eyes in an instant. Before the bandit leader could finish his curse, he kicked him in the stomach and kicked him off the cliff.
Then he turned around and staggered forward.
I can't fall down, I can't die here.
must.....
The moment Qin Xiong couldn't hold on any longer and fell down, his heart felt so aching that it was about to burst.
sorry.
Little song...
.....
In Anding County, a medical clinic.
"Doctor, no matter what, you must save his life. I will give you any money and use any precious medicinal herbs." Bai Qingya said anxiously.
Apart from being severely frightened, his external injuries were the lightest among everyone else.
A man was lying on the bed, his head wrapped in a white cloth. His face and lips were extremely pale due to blood loss, and his breathing was shallow.
It has been two days and Qin Xiong still hasn't woken up.
"Save him. I will save him if I can." The doctor had been annoyed by Bai Qingya for the past two days and said again, "He has a brain injury. Whether he can wake up depends on his own luck."
The doctor sighed, "Even if he wakes up, it's hard to say what kind of aftereffects he might have. Who did this? How could they be so ruthless? They're simply aiming for his life."
If there is a blood clot in the brain, it is possible that you will become blind, speechless, or even suffer from amnesia and dementia after waking up.
Bai Qingya keenly caught the words and her heart beat suddenly rapidly.
He asked everyone around him to go out, pulled a bench and sat down, staring at the doctor.
It was not a good thing at first glance, and the doctor's eyebrows jumped, but the person in front of him was not someone he could afford to offend.
"You decide how much it will cost to make him lose his memory." Bai Qingya said.
——
hiss....
Tian Ge suddenly pulled his hand back, walked a few steps to the back stove, and immersed his hand, which was scalded by the steam, in cold water.
"What's happening? Did you get burned again?" Zhou came over from the front shop and asked with concern.
----fine.
Tian Ge took out his hand and saw blisters on the palm of his hand that were visible to the naked eye. It was because he was too distracted that he wanted to get the steamer without wearing gloves.
Today is the thirty-fourth day since Qin Xiong left.
The person hasn't come back yet.
Tian Ge has been looking at the door these days. If he hears any noise in the middle of the night, he will get up and open the door to take a look.
Tian Er came over and saw this scene. He frowned, but didn't say anything else. He just asked Tian Ge to go and rest.
Since opening the shop, there has been no easy time.
People are not made of iron. Tian Er saw that Tian Ge's chin had become thinner and pointed.
-----I'm really fine. There was a noise up ahead and I couldn't sleep.
Tian Ge himself didn't feel anything. He just did what he was supposed to do every day, and only when he had some free time would he spare a moment to think about Qin Xiong.
"Don't worry, if he doesn't come back, I will definitely find him for you and bring him back even if I have to beat him." Tian Er said.
-----He will definitely come back. I'm just worried that he might have encountered something on the way.
"Well, go and have a rest. Leave the store to us." Tian Er said with a cold face.
The second brother rarely argues with him, but now it seems like there is no intention to negotiate.
Tian Ge went to lie down on the kang bed.
It was still dark, and I could hear rustling noises everywhere. I could tell that my second brother and Zhou were trying to be as quiet as possible, but they were still noisy.
Tian Ge felt a little nauseous. He didn't know when he fell asleep last night, but it must have been in the late night.
He was really worried about Qin Xiong.
My stomach churned.
Tian Ge threw back the quilt, ran out the door, and vomited into the gutter on the side of the road.
There is nothing in my stomach, so if I vomit, all I can come out is bitter water.
The second brother ran out after him, stroking his back, his eyes full of worry.
"When it's daybreak, go to the clinic first."
Zhou poured out a glass of water and asked him to rinse his mouth.
Tian Ge nodded, but he was not afraid to see a doctor. He knew from a young age that minor illnesses must be treated quickly in order to recover quickly.
No matter what, the buns are steamed and the morning business has to be done.
Tian Ge couldn't sleep, so he said he wanted to go out for a walk.
The aroma of buns that used to fill the shop now smelled particularly disgusting to him, like swallowing a large piece of fat on an empty stomach.
-----I'm fine. I just stopped by the clinic on the way and will be back soon after seeing the doctor.
Tian Er wanted Zhou to accompany him, but there was no one left in the store in the morning.
Before opening the store, Tian Ge was always worried about what to do if business was not good.
But after opening for a month and business stabilizing, I am a little worried.
Selling breakfast means getting up early, and sometimes they are so busy and tired that they don’t even want to eat.
The clinic opened early. As soon as the person inside opened the door, he saw Tian Ge squatting at the door and was startled.
Recognizing that this was the new mute owner of the grocery store across the street, the clerk in the clinic smiled at him.
As early as the opening day, Tian Ge carried steamed buns and gave them out for free to people doing business along the street for good luck.
"Where do you feel unwell?" the doctor asked as he sat down, looking at his face.
------I feel like vomiting, couldn’t sleep well last night, and just vomited this morning.
The doctor looked at the beautiful handwriting on the paper, nodded, and asked him to put his hand on it to take his pulse.
After finishing one, switch to another.
Most old doctors have a bit of an immortal air, with long beards, thin bodies, but they are all in good spirits.
When the doctor closed his eyes and took the patient's pulse carefully, Tian Ge thought that it was nothing more than some problems such as "sluggish circulation of qi and blood", "upward surging stomach qi", and "excessive worry and worry".
"Congratulations, you are pregnant and have been pregnant for more than a month."
!
-----impossible
Before Tian Ge finished writing, the old doctor frowned, as if offended. "I've been practicing medicine for forty years and have never made a mistake in feeling a happy pulse. How can this be impossible?"
Looking at Tian Ge's youthful appearance, he frowned and asked, "Are you not married yet?"
It is indeed not a good thing for an unmarried young man to get pregnant.
-----During the spring tide period, I drank contraceptive soup.
Tian Ge did not answer the doctor's question, but just finished writing what he had not finished.
"Not to mention that contraceptive soup isn't a panacea, it's not like you can only get pregnant during spring menstruation. It's just that the chances of getting pregnant during normal times are low. Frequent intercourse is very likely to result in pregnancy."
"Your pregnancy is unstable. I'll prescribe some warming and nourishing medicine for you." The doctor said in a businesslike manner, "Don't overexert yourself during the first three months, and don't have sex. Come back for a follow-up consultation after you finish the medicine."
------Will the contraceptive soup have any adverse effects?
Tian Ge subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, her mind in a mess.
The doctor lifted his eyelids and took a look at him. Seeing that he looked dazed, he couldn't help but remind him again: "It's not a big deal. If you're worried, come back for a consultation when the pregnancy is later. Remember to think less and worry less."
Tian Ge carried the medicine and returned to his shop with mixed feelings.
"Boss, you come to work so late today. You must be lazy." A regular customer joked with Tian Ge.
Tian Ge smiled.
"Our boss has been at work for a long time. He steamed the buns you are eating." Zhou said loudly.
"That's unfair to the boss."
After chatting for a while, Tian Ge came into the house, followed by Tian Er.
"What does the doctor say?"
Tian Ge raised the medicine bag in his hand, and felt a little shy when he thought about what to say. He smiled before speaking, but in fact he was still happy from the bottom of his heart.
Although the arrival of this child was beyond his expectation.
-----Second brother, you are going to be an uncle.
Tian Er's eyes lit up instantly and he smiled, "Seriously?"
How can this be fake?
If Qin Xiong knew this, he would definitely be very happy.
Tian Ge's raised mouth corners dropped again, wondering when he would come back.
He rejected his second brother's suggestion to take him home to recuperate.
What if Qin Xiong comes back tonight?
Besides, he couldn't just abandon the shop; it had just started and was just beginning to pick up.
In the evening, after Tian Ge finished recording the accounts, he suddenly remembered something.
It's already the fifth day of this month, and Qin Bao's monthly salary has not yet been given.
Qin Bao would occasionally come to the store to help after school and eat with them.
Maybe I still have some money left from last month, so I didn't come to see him.
Or maybe she was too embarrassed to ask him for money?
Tian Ge was a little annoyed. He should have given Qin Bao the money on time.
Remember to go to school after you finish your work tomorrow morning.
Tian Ge found a piece of paper and wrote it down, placing it in a conspicuous place, fearing that he would be busy again tomorrow and forget it.
"Go to sleep, Ge'er. You are pregnant already. You should sleep a little longer tomorrow. I am familiar with the morning work. Just leave it to me." Zhou came into the house after cleaning the backyard and urged Tian Ge to go to bed.
After working together for more than a month, they have become familiar with each other.
Zhou was a hard-working person. She did everything with all her heart and effort, never being cunning or lazy. She was always eager to do many things, and she could talk to guests in a natural and friendly manner, and would always have a say in everything.
In Zhou's words, "I can't take the five hundred coins for nothing, right? Besides, every meal comes with meat, so I'm making a profit."
Tian Ge agreed, drew a little man on the paper, and wrote Qin Xiong's name next to it.
Tian Ge sighed softly.
I missed him so much today.
Come back soon, he can't wait to tell him the good news.
——
After finishing his work the next morning, Tian Ge came to Wutong Academy with the silver in his pocket.
After repeatedly confirming the news, he stood at the door in a daze for a long time.
"It's been a long time, about seven or eight days ago, Qin Bao passed away."
"He said his family came to pick him up and he packed up and left. I thought he was quite happy."
"I don't know him either. I just saw him get into a carriage."
"The teacher also said that he would not come to school without asking for leave."
Tian Ge's heart sank.
Qin Xiong will never come back.
Once pessimistic thoughts come into play, it is impossible to stop them.
Did something really happen to Qin Xiong?
Tian Ge felt a pang of pain in his heart.
No, no, if something happens to Qin Xiong, no one will come to take Qin Bao away.
I'm glad that everyone is okay.
But he's fine, why don't you go home?
Reason quickly prevailed.
He had only met the Bai family a few times, so he really had no idea what kind of people they were.
But how could he not know Qin Xiong and Qin Bao?
Ever since he opened a shop in the county town, Qin Bao came to help almost every day, calling her sister-in-law first and sister-in-law later. Such intimacy cannot be fake.
The last time he met Qin Bao, Qin Bao criticized his elder brother harshly in order to comfort him, saying that when his elder brother came back, he would help him to give his elder brother a good scolding, asking how he could have been away for so long without any news.
But the people in the academy said that Xiaobao left voluntarily and seemed quite happy.
No, Xiaobao must have been tricked into leaving.
Even if it's really true...
....Qin Xiong was unwilling to come back and live a hard life with him anymore, so he sent someone to take Xiao Bao away.
Qin Bao will definitely send him a message.
No matter what, Tian Ge just didn't believe it.
——
"You want to go to the provincial capital?" Tian Er disagreed. "You can't go. You're newly pregnant, and the doctor told you to take good care of the baby. How can you endure this bumpy journey?"
-----I want to go, and you should go too, brother. You should accompany me.
Tian Ge simply packed his bag and looked much more energetic than in the past few days.
He explained the shop's affairs to Zhou in detail, asking her to help look after it for the next few days and to do the bookkeeping when he returned.
If you are too busy selling breakfast, do less or not do it according to your ability.
If you really encounter problems that you can't solve, go to the rouge shop in the west of the city to ask Qian Duo for help.
"Xiao Ge'er, listen to me. I know you're worried, but your health is more important. You have two lives on one body." Tian Er still felt something was wrong. "How about this, I'll go for you and bring the person back to you, okay?"
-----I asked Qian Duo to help me contact a carriage and we set off half an hour later.
Tian Ge took the silver, held Tian Er's hand and was ready to leave, insisting on leaving no matter what.
——
Bai Mansion.
In the east room of the inner courtyard.
Qin Xiong sat on the edge of the bed, clenched his fists, and hit his head twice.
My head felt like a mess, and when I tried to think hard, it caused unbearable pain.
The door creaked open.
Bai Qingya came in with a tray of food. After seeing Qin Xiong's actions, she walked forward with a low exclamation.
"Brother Qin, what are you doing? The doctor said you need to rest because you have a head injury."
Qin Xiong said nothing, his arms being held by Bai Qingya. Her white and slender hands had warm palms.
He pulled the hand away. Although he couldn't remember anything, he felt uncomfortable.
"Where is Qin Bao?" Qin Xiong asked.
"I've sent someone to pick him up. I told you before, the school Xiao Bao attends has strict rules and they won't let you go until you have your day off. I brought him back to you today and you'll be able to see him in two days. You should be relieved now, right?"
Are you relieved? Qin Xiong frowned. Since he woke up, he has been at his good friend Bai Qingquan's house.
As soon as he wanted to go back home, someone stopped him.
When I couldn't stop him anymore, I told him that something had happened to the Qin family.
Only then did he suddenly remember that, yes, something had happened. Several of his uncles had colluded with officials for personal gain, and they were all beheaded.
His father survived, and then, and then...
His memory seemed to be cut in half by a knife. Without any prompts, he couldn't remember anything.
Then he suddenly remembered his two younger brothers, and when asked, Bai Qingya told him.
Qin Yong is married and can’t be seen from other places.
Qin Bao goes to school.
"Where is Bai Qingquan? I want to see him." Qin Xiong asked again.
"Brother Qin." Bai Qingya's eyes were full of heartache. She wanted to hold Qin Xiong's hand, but was avoided. She couldn't help but look lonely. "Brother is busy with housekeeping. We will see each other after we get married."
Qin Xiong didn't respond, but instead asked, "I can't remember what I've done over the years. Tell me about it."
Bai Qingya sighed and told the story.
After the Qin family got into trouble, Qin Xiong took his family away for refuge. During the journey, his uncle and aunt both died of illness.
A few years later, the Bai family found Qin Xiong, took him back home, ran the family business together, and arranged an engagement.
This time they were out on business and were attacked by bandits on the way.
"You fell off a cliff to save me and almost died. It's all my fault for being so stubborn and insisting on going with you. I'm still scared when I think about it now." Bai Qingya said with tears in her eyes.
Qin Xiong was wearing a snow-white inner garment. He had been unconscious for more than ten days before waking up. His face was still pale, his lips were pursed, and his eyes were sharp, which made Bai Qingya's heart beat fast.
"Can you tell me the truth?"
"What?" Bai Qingya was puzzled. "This is the truth. What else do you want to know?"
"Do I look like a fool?" Qin Xiong asked back.
Bai Qingya was stunned and smiled reluctantly, "Of course not, Brother Qin, please believe me, we grew up together, why would I lie to you? Besides, we're getting married soon."
Qin Xiong lowered his head and looked at his rough hands covered with scars. These were definitely not the hands of a businessman.
He was always in a hurry, as if he had something very important to do, but he just couldn't remember it.
But in this mansion, from Bai Qingya to the doctors and servants, everyone had the same story and nothing could be learned.
"Qingya, of course I believe you won't harm me. Let me meet Qingquan. There are some things I want to ask him."
——
"Are you feeling better?"
"Do you know someone named Tian Ge?"
They both spoke at the same time.
Bai Qingquan has been avoiding Qin Xiong these days, but he knows that he can't escape him in the end.
When Bai Qingquan heard the name Tian Ge, his temples jumped twice, but his expression remained normal.
"Tiange?"
Bai Qingquan picked up a cup of tea. It had been so many years since he felt so conflicted and embarrassed.
It was just a moment, but my mind was full of thoughts.
That dumb country boy is naturally not important.
But on the other hand, there was the younger brother's crying and begging. Bai Qingya had long passed the marriageable age, but was still waiting for a person who was not destined to be with her.
On the other hand, he knew very well that this good brother, whom he had not seen for ten years, had deep feelings for the mute boy.
Qin Xiong can already remember Tian Ge, so it is only a matter of time before his memory is restored.
However, now that the matter is settled, whether or not they can leave is up to the Bai family to decide.
Allowing Qin Xiong to return to his old luxurious life can be considered a kind of compensation to Qin Xiong.
Bai Qingquan put down his teacup, as if thinking about something, and then replied, "You seemed to have mentioned this person to me before. You met him on the road, but I remember you told me that he had died of illness at a very young age, and you felt very sorry for him at the time."
"Dead?" Qin Xiong said in shock.
"Maybe something happened at that time that touched you and made you remember this name."
Qin Xiong walked out of Bai Mansion in a daze, accompanied by several servants.
Bai Qingya tried to stop Qin Xiong from leaving from behind, but was stopped by Bai Qingquan.
"The more you push him like this, the more suspicious he'll become." Bai Qingquan looked at his younger brother, whom he had raised with great regret. He had spoiled him too much when he was a child, which led to such a ridiculous thing. "If you really want to marry him, it's best to do it naturally. He has lost his memory now, and this is the best time for you to cultivate your relationship. Don't miss it again."
"Has Qin Bao been brought back?" Bai Qingquan asked again.
"He ran away halfway. It seems he ran back to that small place."
"You don't have much time left, so make the most of it. I can only help you so far."
Bai Qingquan left in anger. Between brothers and relatives, he chose his relatives.
Qin Xiong realized afterwards that given his personality, they were really going to break up.
——
Qin Xiong stopped when passing by a circus.
The man performing the monkey show was a mute. He made faces and eyes to amuse people while also making some gestures.
-----Idiot, look at your dad, a bunch of idiots.
Qin Xiong was surprised that he could understand it.
He did not remember learning any pantomime signs.
But this skill seemed to be suddenly rooted in his mind. He looked at it for a while and confirmed that he understood most of the gestures.
"Young Master Qin, is there something wrong?" A clever servant came forward and asked. He was one of the servants who had been following Bai Qingya for a long time.
Qin Xiong shook his head and continued walking forward.
Not only Bai Qingya, but Bai Qingquan was also lying to him.
Why lie to him?
His family has been destroyed, and there is something he can only get by deceiving him.
Besides him, what else is there?
Qin Xiong turned around and went back.
——
"Where is the cargo this time?" Qin Xiong went straight to Bai Qingquan's study and asked.
"They're all stored in the library. What's the matter?" Bai Qingquan said with a smile, "Did you remember anything?"
Qin Xiong looked at Bai Qingquan deeply, then suddenly walked forward and slapped the nanmu table with both hands, making a bang.
The ink from the brush dripped onto the paper, spreading out in a large area and ruining the entire page of writing.
"Bai Qingquan, we've known each other for so many years. We said we'd be brothers for life. Does that still count?"
"certainly."
"I want to hear the truth."
"I'm telling you the truth. I won't hurt you."
"Tian Ge is not dead."
Qin Xiong kept staring at Bai Qingquan's face. He could detect even the slightest change in his expression, but the other party was indeed flawless, with only some doubts.
"I don't know why you keep asking about this person, but everything I know is what you told me. As for whether this person is dead or not, I really don't know."
Yeah, why does he care so much about this name.
Qin Xiong just wanted to cheat, but he didn't get the result he wanted.
He went to the warehouse again, and he didn't want to believe a word the Bai family said.
He wanted to find other people who knew him and tell him some real things.
"Do you know me?" Qin Xiong looked at a guy who was moving goods and walked up to him and asked.
Qin Xiong had a white cloth tied around his head and was tall and strong. The guy was a little scared when he was caught by him and said tremblingly that he didn't know him.
He asked several questions in succession, and the guys behind him took a detour when they saw him.
The servant of the Bai family was following closely behind him.
Qin Xiong said he wanted to go to the toilet, took a look at the structure of the toilet, climbed up and left through the back door, finally getting rid of the people.
The back of my head is swollen and painful.
In a sheltered place, some people were gambling with dice. Qin Xiong followed the sound and went over.
I didn't have much hope.
"Qin Xiong?! Why are you here?" Xiaoshan stood up in surprise with welding smoke in his mouth.
"Hey, hey, hey, you want to run away now that you've won the money, right?"
"Are you that kind of person, Brother Shan? Wait a minute, I'll make you lose all your pants today."
Xiaoshan walked out from a group of cursing men, climbed onto Qin Xiong's shoulders, coughed twice with his head tilted, then turned around and smiled again.
"Your look is pretty good. Tie a white cloth around your neck, like you're attending a funeral. Is that okay?"
"Do you know me?"
Xiao Shan opened his eyes wide and said, "It's all over. I've saved my life but I'm still stupid."
It seems that he really knows him.
"Do you know who Tian Ge is to me?" Qin Xiong asked, with an unconscious expectation in his tone.
Helplessly, Xiaoshan shook his head and said, "I've never heard of this name."
Qin Xiong was a little disappointed. He raised his hand and hit his head again, which hurt even more. He was so angry that he punched the tree next to him.
The tree was fine, but his hand was bleeding.
"Don't be like this. Just live your life well. It's no big deal. Just be stupid." Xiaoshan was also confused by Qin Xiong's actions and comforted him, "I heard that you are going to marry the young master. That's great. You don't have to work so hard to buy and sell goods. You will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future."
"Can you tell me how we met?" Qin Xiong asked.
"What's so difficult about this? We've only known each other for a month or so. Let me tell you..."
......
Late at night, Qin Xiong climbed over the wall and went out of the back door of the Bai family. He went to the address agreed upon during the day, got on the horse tied there, and rode away.
The destination was a place called Qingshui County, a few days' journey from the provincial capital.
The night wind was blowing. Qin Xiong wrapped his head tightly with cloth to block the wind, feeling a little trembling in his heart.
During the day, the man named Dashan was always frank, but when he mentioned some things, he suddenly became cautious and hesitant.
"You have to keep it a secret for me. Don't tell anyone that I told you." Dashan looked around and there was no one else around.
"Actually, I was quite surprised to hear that you were going to marry the Young Master. On the way, you rejected the Young Master's advances more than once and seemed a little annoyed with him."
"By the way, you also told me that you have a family, your wife is a young man, and you have a good relationship."
