"Have you had too much to drink?"
"What a joke! I can only drink a little bit of wine, it's just a drop!" The fat man said staggeringly.
After drinking with Agui, it was already late at night. Wuxie and Fatty went out to pee. Fatty saw a man with hunched shoulders in a daze and hurriedly patted Wuxie. When Wuxie turned around, the man was gone. Both of them thought they were hallucinating.
At this time, the clouds came out.
"Fat boss, have you drunk too much?" asked Yuncai.
The fat man saw that it was a cloud and chuckled, "Yes... I drank too much, too much!"
When Wuxie heard what the fat man said, he patted him speechlessly, and the fat man used the force to stumble towards the clouds.
…
Early the next morning, the three of them came to the stilt house.
The outside of the stilt house looked very old, and the steps and handrails of the outer staircase were covered with dust, making it look desolate.
"Hey, young man, your house is quite luxurious." The fat man said with his hands on his hips.
Zhang Qiling glanced at the fat man silently, then stepped onto the stairs, stirring up a layer of dust. Wuxie and the fat man followed behind.
In the house, the dust of time covered the entire room. Some places had been weathered. There were dead rats in the corners of the ground, as well as a series of shallow footprints.
"It seems that Xiaochuan has really been here, but I don't know what key he is looking for so urgently." Wuxie said in a gentle voice.
Zhang Qiling brushed his hand across a table, leaving two new marks on it.
"Wow! A room full of good things. They're still there after all these years!" exclaimed the fat man.
As soon as he entered the door, the fat man saw that it was just as Chu Guangtou said. Although the appearance of the things was plain, the materials used were all excellent. A room full of red sandalwood was abandoned here. What a pity! What a pity!
"Young man, I finally know who you are. In ancient times, only members of the royal family could use these things, not to mention there are so many of them in this room. I've looked carefully, and even the wood for building your house is not cheap, yet you throw them all here. What a waste!" The fat man clapped his hands and exclaimed.
Zhang Qiling didn't say anything, but lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wu Xie walked to the table and gently removed the porcelain cover on it, revealing a few photos underneath. Because of the dust, Wu Xie couldn't see clearly. Just as he was about to pick them up, Zhang Qiling grabbed him and said, "Don't touch them!"
Wu Xie saw Zhang Qiling's reaction was a little strange and asked, "Brother, is there something wrong with these photos?"
Zhang Qiling thought for a moment, then said, "Mushroom."
Wuxie and Fatty obviously didn't understand, "What mushrooms?"
"Mushrooms...wait! There won't be any pheasant necks here, right?" The fat man suddenly became alert.
Seeing that they had misunderstood his meaning, Zhang Qiling did not intend to correct him. He nodded silently and thought, "Forget it, as long as they don't look at the photos, they can think whatever they want."
The table that Wuxie just discovered was filled with Zhang Qiling's dark history of being photographed by Ji Huaichuan when he was drunk. It was shameful for anyone to see it.
Zhang Qiling quietly collected all the photos while Wuxie and Fatty were not paying attention.
…
A white hand was holding a photo. It was Zhang Qiling, Wuxie and Fatty who were in Banai at the moment. The owner of the hand slowly folded the photo and threw it into the stove.
"Little Master, calm down. He can't blame the mute entirely for this. You left him alone in Hangzhou, so he must find a way to find you!"
Hei Xia Zi squatted in the corner of the tent with his hands grasping his earlobes. Opposite him was a well-dressed young man with long hair and eyes lightly closed, his fingers tapping on the armrest of the chair.
"Do you still remember who your master is? I thought you had forgotten." Ji Huaichuan spoke coldly in a calm tone.
"How could that be possible? I may forget anyone but I can never forget you!" Hei Xia Zi laughed so hard that his eyes behind his sunglasses were narrowed into slits.
"Then why did you follow that old man Chen Tingsi to deceive me?" Ji Huaichuan opened his eyes and looked at Hei Xiazi.
Black Blind Man swallowed his saliva and said awkwardly, "This... isn't this too much given by the old man? I am no longer the same as I was before. Now I have to shoulder the task of taking care of Xiaohua. These worldly things, the more the better."
"Is this the reason why you teamed up with Chen Tingsi to deceive me? Isn't what I gave you enough?" Ji Huaichuan asked with a raised eyebrow.
Black Blind Zi frowned in embarrassment and said slowly: "Little Master, you gave me this, but every time I just warmed it up, you took it back. I, a blind man, can't spend it..."
"It's not that I don't let you spend it. I kept it with you for so long, who would have thought you didn't touch a single cent of it? As soon as I took it back, you started crying and begging for mercy.
Besides, you have trouble supporting yourself, and you still want to support Xiaohua? It’s good enough that you don’t have to be supported by him. " Ji Huaichuan couldn't help rolling his eyes and turned his head away from Hei Xiazi.
"We have to do this now because of the situation. I'll do it when I have money in the future!" Hei Xia Zi was about to make an enthusiastic promise when he was interrupted by Ji Huaichuan.
“Alright, alright, the pie you painted for me is no longer full, so stop painting. Let me ask you, why did Chen Tingsi ask you to lie to me?”
Hei Xiazi paused for a moment, then said, "He said so. He was upset to think that you, my young master, would start to slack off after the last incident. He asked me to make your life a little more difficult. If you want to tell me about this, you have to find a mute. I don't pose any threat to you."
After listening to this, Ji Huaichuan raised his eyebrows slightly without commenting. Admittedly, what Hei Xiazi said was not true, but Ji Huaichuan didn't want to know what the truth was. What he was sure of now was that Chen Tingsi just couldn't bear to see him idle. As long as he had time, Chen Tingsi would find something for him to do.
