Chapter 208 Hidden hills and valleys with lofty aspirations
"Brother, can you take Xiaoqi with you? Xiaoqi doesn't want to leave you." Xiaoqi raised his head and begged to Xiaoliu.
However, Xiaoliu clearly rejected her.
"Xiaoqi, you are a smart kid. You should know that your brother is dangerous this time. If you go with your brother, not only will you not be able to help your brother, but it will only drag me down."
Xiaoliu was not afraid that saying this would hurt Xiaoqi's heart. He knew that sometimes he should be more direct when he should be direct. The extra euphemisms would only make things worse.
"I.."
Sure enough, when Xiaoqi heard Xiaoliu's words, she stopped and lowered her head in disappointment.
Seeing this, Xiao Liu gently touched Xiao Qi's head and comforted him:
"Okay Xiaoqi, be good, stay in the house and wait for your brother to come back. Your brother will definitely come back soon. When your brother comes back, your brother will teach you how about martial arts?"
Xiao Liu's gentle words came into Xiao Qi's ears. Xiao Qi looked up and asked in disbelief:
"Really?"
"Of course it's true." Xiaoliu chuckled and shaved Xiaoqi's slight nose.
"Well, if Xiaoqi doesn't drag you down, Xiaoqi will be waiting for you to come back here. But brother, you have to promise Xiaoqi that you must come back safely."
"Well, I will definitely do it." Xiao Liu replied with a chuckling.
"Then let's hook." Xiaoqi stretched out her small little finger.
"Well, pull the hook." Xiao Liu also cooperated and stretched out his little finger and pulled it together with Xiao Qi's little finger.
"Hooking, hanging, for a hundred years, you must not change. The one who deceives people is a puppy." Xiao Qi slowly shook Xiao Liu's fingers.
"Okay, come on."
"What are you doing?" Xiao Liu looked at Xiao Qi in confusion.
"Stretch out your thumb to tie a knot." Xiaoqi said naturally.
Xiao Liu didn't expect that there was another link, but he cooperated very well and imprinted his thumb with Xiao Qi's delicate thumb.
"Okay, my brother will definitely come back in this way." Seeing the hook and knotting completed, Xiaoqi let go of Xiaoliu's hand with a smile.
Xiao Liu also smiled softly when he looked at Xiao Qi who was so simple and cute.
"Okay, then brother will leave first. Stay in the house alone and don't run around. Also, if someone knocks on the door and asks you to open it, you must not open it, do you know?"
Before leaving, Xiao Liu still kept reminding him carefully.
"If you know brother, don't worry. Xiaoqi will definitely wait for you to come back here." Xiaoqi also responded very well.
Seeing Xiaoqi's well-behaved appearance, Xiaoliu finally touched Xiaoqi's cute little head again, then stood up and unbuttoned the acupoint of the middle-aged man next to him.
"Okay, it's time for us to set off." Xiao Liu said with a chuckling.
The middle-aged man who had just been untied the acupoints finally breathed a sigh of relief. This time he had been ordered the shortest time and the easiest time he sat there.
"Okay, I'll show you the way." The middle-aged man quickly got up and replied respectfully, clasping his fists. He knew where Xiaoliu was going, and the headquarters of the Black Clothing Club.
"Yes." Xiaoliu nodded, and the two of them immediately left the wing room. The moment they closed the door, Xiaoliu looked at Xiaoqi who was looking at him with a smile on his face. Xiaoliu smiled and nodded at her.
Xiaoqi looked at the closed door and completely blocked Xiaoliu's figure. Her originally laughed expression completely disappeared, and tears of reluctance appeared in her eyes. At the same time, she secretly made up her mind.
‘Brother, I will definitely practice martial arts well so that you will no longer have a reason to leave me behind.’
...
At Yuelai Inn, on the counter on the first floor, Xiao Liu brought the middle-aged man to the counter.
"Two guests, what do you need?" The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Liu and the others coming to the counter, and hurriedly hugged his hands and asked hello.
Xiao Liu chuckled and replied, "There is no shopkeeper, we both want to go out first and plan to pay the room first."
Xiaoliu was worried that after he left, the store owner would think he had run away and then went upstairs to find trouble for Xiaoqi, so he planned to settle the account first.
The shopkeeper was very happy to hear Xiaoliu say that he wanted to pay the room in advance. He picked up the abacus with laughter, but he still said politely:
"Actually, there is no need to be this way, but since it was the customer's request, the shop had to do as it should. I wonder how many days does the customer plan to stay?"
"Let's count it for three days first." Xiao Liu said with a chuckling, three days are neither long nor short.
"Okay." The shopkeeper responded with a smile, and then he flipped through the accounts and quickly got to do it.
"The lunch money, plus the three-day room money, is a total of five cents and twenty-three cents. Please don't think it's expensive, our Tianzi room is the price." The shopkeeper said to Xiaoliu with a smile on his face:
Xiao Liu didn't bargain after hearing this. He took out a small silver ingot of ten taels from his arms and put it on the counter.
"This, there are too many of them. I wonder if you have some broken silver on your body?" The shopkeeper asked with a embarrassed expression. He could find it, but it was a bit troublesome.
But Xiao Liu chuckled and said:
"Don't rush to find it. I will leave my silver here for you, and settle it together when checking out at the end. Then you will refund the more and make up for it."
"Okay, that's fine." When the shopkeeper heard this, he quickly responded with a smile. He had already thought about making more delicious and expensive things in the past few days, so that customers could consume more invisibly.
As he said that, the shopkeeper had to reach out to get the silver, but Xiao Liu picked it up first.
"Hey, no hurry, I haven't finished speaking yet?"
"You said, you said." The shopkeeper smiled and withdrew his hand, he said with apologized.
"During the time I went out, my sister was resting upstairs alone. I hope you can help take care of her. But if it's okay, it's better not to disturb her rest.
In addition, if I have something to do and haven’t come back recently, you have to prepare three meals a day for your sister to deliver them to her house on time. I wonder if the shopkeepers can do the above?"
"It's done, it's done." The shopkeeper responded with a smile. He was worried that he could not let Xiaoliu and the others spend more money, but now Xiaoliu and the others bumped into him. He had to let the aunt upstairs eat well.
"Okay, since the shopkeeper has agreed, then I will put this ingot of silver here first. If the shopkeeper takes good care of it, then I may not need to find this ingot of silver."
"Really?" the shopkeeper asked in surprise.
"Of course, but the shopkeeper's ugly words are first mentioned. If you don't do the above, and you're so hungry that your sister is missing, or you're missing a hair, don't blame Yan for making the settlement with you."
As he said that, Xiao Liu, who was chuckling, used a slight force on his right thumb, and a three-inch deep fingerprint appeared on the silver ingot.
When the shopkeeper saw this scene, his heart suddenly became tight, and he quickly responded with some fear:
"Sure, certain."
And at this moment, a strange praise suddenly sounded.
