Chapter 343: Living on Face
The proprietress was very arrogant. She stood on the roof and said to An Yan and the others arrogantly, "We are short of three servants. One to fetch water and chop wood, one to make quilts and warm beds, and one to wash clothes and cook. You can figure out how to divide the work among yourselves."
"You are so shameless, you deserve it." Yan Qingqiu sneered.
An Yan was still sitting at the table. She had noticed that many people were coming with torches in their hands, lighting up the dark night so brightly that it was brighter than the moon in the sky.
"The bright moon reflects on the apricot blossoms, and beneath the flowers there is a beautiful woman. How wonderful it is."
The person who said this was a young man. His voice was deep and magnetic, and he was very elegant. He walked over slowly, and he had a familiar face.
This face is Li Rongsen.
This really scared Yan Qingqiu and Mei Die, and also stunned An Yan. This was really strange, encountering a ghost in the middle of the night.
The proprietress threw herself into his arms, saying, "Why did you come out? You don't need to rest."
"I came to see what wealthy family made you so angry, so that you won't be bullied." The man was quite gentle to the proprietress, and then looked at An Yan and said, "It would be a good idea to tie this woman up and take her back to be a fire maid."
"You're not attracted to her, are you?" The proprietress was a little unhappy. She thought that although An Yan was pretty, she couldn't help feeling jealous.
"Are you going to go back on your word? Didn't we agree to find a maid to serve you? I've picked her today and will take her back." The man said with a chuckle.
An Yan felt nauseous and thought that if Li Rongsen was like this, it was not worth her risking her life to save him.
Mei Die frowned and said, "How can there be two people with the same appearance in this world? I just can't understand it."
"Where did you get this face?" Yan Qingqiu asked directly.
"You are so ridiculous. Of course it's my face." The man sneered.
The proprietress said proudly, "In this world, is there any face more handsome than his? Only I can have it. I am willing to support him."
"I just can't believe it. This is really his face." Yan Qingqiu said sinisterly.
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. You will never come back today." The proprietress said as she ordered someone to come forward.
The man seemed a little anxious. He said to the proprietress, "What's wrong with you? Why did you want to kill them?"
"What do you know? They are my enemies. I advise you to calm down. If you want another woman other than me, be careful or I will cut your neck with a knife." The proprietress threatened him.
"Can you bear to do that?" the man said as he moved his face closer to her.
But the next moment, he felt pain on his face. When he touched it, he found blood. He immediately shouted, "Kill them, kill them, don't let any of them go."
The proprietress looked towards An Yan and found that it was a broken bowl thrown by Yan Qingqiu that cut the man's face, so she quickly jumped down to join the fight.
Mei Die was also fighting with that group of people. Fortunately, her kung fu was also good, so she was more than capable of defeating that group of people.
An Yan was just worried that the boss lady wouldn't come, so when she saw her rushing over, she grabbed one of her arms, flipped her back, and pinned her down on the table, saying, "Stop it, everyone."
The man covered his face and said, "Kill them all, don't let any of them go."
But the boss's wife was captured, and the brothers were in a dilemma.
Then the man was heard shouting, "Don't worry about whether that woman lives or dies. If she dies, I will divide all the wealth here and we will all go our separate ways. From now on, no one can stop us."
"You damn dog, how dare you treat me like this? I've been cheating and deceiving people to support you." The proprietress was furious and tried to break free immediately.
But An Yan did not let go. She just glanced at Yan Qingqiu, who quickly grabbed the man and tore off the fake skin on his face. He turned out to be an extremely ordinary, unremarkable man with a garlic nose. He couldn't be called ugly, but he was a little hard to describe.
The proprietress became even angrier and said, "How despicable! You are really despicable."
Seeing that the two bosses were subdued, everyone dared not move and just stood there.
"Beichen, it's time for you to make enough trouble. Is it fun to deceive yourself?" An Yan asked her. She knew it was her from the beginning. She originally wanted to pretend that she didn't know and rest for a night, and at the same time give her some benefits. In the end, she got complacent and was not happy with herself.
Beichen sighed and said, "You bastard, why do I always fall into your hands?"
"You are the one who is making things difficult for me, not me." An Yan said, and then said, "You have done enough. He is just a man. Do you love him or refuse to admit defeat?"
Beichen no longer struggled. She knew very well that the man was not Li Rongsen, but she didn't expect that he was wearing fake skin. It was obvious that she was too obsessed.
Yan Qingqiu said to the man, "What are you doing? You're just pretending to be a gigolo and getting free food and drinks. You don't deserve it."
"What's wrong with me relying on my face? Besides, she likes it too."
"If you really look like this, you can do whatever you want. The key is that you don't look like this." Yan Qingqiu exerted force and crushed the human skin into pieces.
"We're going to stay here for one night, so don't bother me anymore." An Yan said as she let go of Beichen.
Beichen looked at Anyan and said, "It's you and my brother. Otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up selling alcohol in a place like this. My life is ruined, and it's all because of you."
An Yan just looked at her coldly without saying anything.
Then Beichen said sarcastically, "I didn't provoke you. You walked into my territory on your own. You can't blame me. Taking advantage of the opportunity to take revenge is not excessive, right?"
"You are still stubborn and blaming others. Are you unable to learn to reflect on yourself?" An Yan asked her.
"I did nothing wrong, I just lost. If I had won, it would have been a completely different story. I just didn't have the luck." Beichen was indignant, and then said to his brothers, "Tie up this man, and let's go back." After that, he left with a group of people, without caring about the small inn at the corner of the mountain.
She also knew that she couldn't beat An Yan and the others, and it would be foolish to continue to pester them, so it would be better to leave.
Yan Qingqiu said, "She is quite affectionate."
"She is not affectionate at all. She is just unwilling to accept that she can't get it. This is not love." Meidie said.
"Never mind them, we'll leave early tomorrow morning."
"I'll watch outside to prevent them from harming our horses. It's still a long way to go, and we need to rely on carriages." Yan Qingqiu gestured to An Yan and Mei Die to go to sleep.
"I'm not going to sleep either. Let's build a fire and cook some wild vegetables. No one here has prepared anything for us." An Yan said as she went into the house to look for fire-making tools and took out a stove and a pot.
Yan Qingqiu brought out a pile of firewood and said, "Hey, I'll make a fire."
"There are some wild vegetables nearby. I recognize them. I'll go pick them." Meidie said as she went down to the foot of the mountain. When she came here just now, she saw a lot of wild vegetables. Maybe they were planted by someone intentionally.
Suddenly, there was a deafening noise, and the original mountain road was blocked by a huge rock.
Yan Qingqiu frowned and said, "Really? I shouldn't have been so kind as to let her go. She's actually causing us so much trouble."
"Don't worry. She won't let us go, and she can't get here by herself. We can rest peacefully for a night and think of a way tomorrow." An Yan didn't agree or worry.
Tomorrow, there will be a way out.
