Seeing his father's confused expression, Jiang Li introduced Xuan Qing to him, emphasizing that he met a bandit on the way back, and then Xuan Qing came to the rescue.

When Jiang's father heard that he was robbed by bandits, his face turned pale, and he forgot to cook noodles. He turned back up and down to check if he was injured: "How did you meet the bandits? Where is the injury? !"

Hearing his anxious and concerned words, Jiang felt warm in his heart, turned around twice, and then comforted: "No injuries, Master Xuanqing appeared in time, beat the bandits away, nothing happened.

" ..." Xuan Qing remembered how Jiang Li was lying on the ground and didn't move, and when he saw Jiang's father's anxious and worried expression, he didn't know whether to expose him or not.

But when Father Jiang heard his words, he put his heart down, repeated "it's fine", then turned around and said to Xuan Qing, "Master Xuan Qing, right? Thanks to you, I saved my son, Lao Jiang. I'll bow to you here." With his

hands arched, he was about to bend over towards Xuan Qing.

However, before his waist was bent down, Xuan Qing dodged and came in front of him, reaching out to stop him: "No need to do that."

If someone else saluted, Xuan Qing wouldn't care at all, but instead of Jiang's father, he There is an inexplicable feeling in my heart that if I receive this kind of ceremony, it will be out of courtesy.

Although Xuan Qing said this, Jiang's father was still grateful, and repeatedly said thank you several times, saying that he didn't know how to thank Xuan Qing. Jiang Li reminded him that the noodles hadn't been cooked yet, and he responded: " Yes, yes, I will ask someone to cook noodles for you, Master Xuanqing is a vegetarian, right?"

Xuanqing nodded: "It's work."

"It should be." Jiang's father said quickly, Xuanqing saved his son, while he He was a benefactor in his heart. After he asked Jiang Li what noodles he wanted to eat, he turned around and went to the kitchen.

Jiang Li took Xuan Qing and sat down at the table next to him, then went to the checkout counter and brought out a pot of hot tea, poured a cup for himself and Xuan Qing, and said, "My father is too excited, don't worry about it."

Xuan Qing shook his head . He shook his head and said softly, "Your father cares about you very much."

"Yeah." Jiang Li smiled and winked at him, "Thanks to you for saving my life, otherwise my father will be left alone. There is no support in this world."

His eyes were full of smiles, Xuan Qing only felt that he was shaken by the agile expression in his eyes, and unconsciously lost his mind, as if someone had watched him like this before, hearing After the sound of footsteps coming out of Father Jiang, he looked away slightly unnaturally.

At this time, the system reminded Jiang Li: "Master host, the male lead's favorability has increased by 5%."

Jiang's father remembered that he was in a hurry to arrange for someone to cook noodles for the two, but he forgot to pour tea for Xuan Qing first, so he He rushed out again and saw that the two had already sat down to drink tea, so he felt relieved and walked to Jiang Li's side to sit down.

"Master Xuanqing, you are the great benefactor of our family. You are not grateful for your great kindness." Jiang's father poured tea for Xuanqing and said sincerely.

"The words are serious." Xuan Qing held up the teacup.

After drinking tea, Jiang's father asked where Xuan Qing came from, and whether he had something important to do in Qingshui Town this time. If not, please ask him to stay here, so that he can fully express his friendship as a landlord. gratitude.

Just after he finished speaking, before Xuan Qing spoke, Jiang Li said: "He has nothing to do, he just wanders around idle, I heard that our Qingshui Town is beautiful, with outstanding people, you have to follow me to see, I have no choice, just I can only bring him back."

Xuan Qing: "..."

When Jiang Li said he wanted to repay Xuan Qing and brought him back to see the beautiful scenery of Qingshui Town, that was not what he said. He looked at him with an expressionless expression.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jiang Li looked innocent, "Didn't you say you wanted to come back with me?"

"..." Xuan Qing remembered what he had said before at the inn that he wanted to come back with Jiang Li, and was speechless for a while.

On the contrary, Father Jiang reprimanded Jiang Li in a low voice: "Li'er! How can you talk to Master Xuanqing like this? No matter how big or small, Master Xuanqing is your savior, that is, your reborn parents.

" The four words made Xuan Qing's eyelids jump. He is only nineteen years old this year, but he feels like he is the same generation as Jiang's father. Just as he was about to say so that Jiang's father doesn't have to do this, Jiang Li lengthened his voice and said "oh" , looked at him meaningfully: "Reborn parents..."

Xuan Qing: "..." There is always a bad premonition.

During the three-person conversation, Uncle Cai in the kitchen delivered the noodles that had been cooked by him. One bowl was Xuanqing's plain noodles, and the other night was Jiang Li's spare ribs noodles. The steaming noodles drove away the coolness of the night.

Uncle Cai put his face down and said to Jiang Li with a smile: "Xiao Li is back. Old Jiang has been looking forward to the night, so I hope you will come back soon."

Uncle Cai is a relative of the Jiang family. His wife stumbled and fell into the river and unfortunately died. He lived by himself as a cook in a small restaurant. Later, Jiang's father opened an inn. Knowing that he was good at cooking, he hired him to be the head chef in the inn.

The original body grew up eating the food he made. When Jiang's father opened the inn, he was very busy, and it was also that he took more care of the young original body. The relationship between the two is relatively deep.

Jiang Li smiled at Uncle Cai: "Uncle Cai, long time no see, how are you?"

"Okay." Uncle Cai laughed heartily, looked at Xuan Qing and said, "What's the name of this little master?"

Jiang Li Introduced Xuanqing and Uncle Cai to each other, Uncle Cai responded with a smile, and told them to eat quickly, so that the soup would not be cold, and then went back to the kitchen.

Jiang Li took a pair of chopsticks and asked his father Jiang, "Dad, don't you want to eat? I'll give you half?

" Don't be cold."

Seeing that he said no to eat, Xuan Qing nodded, picked up his chopsticks and started eating. His is plain noodles, although there is no meat, but Uncle Cai added green vegetables and shredded potatoes to him, so it will not be too bland.

While they were eating noodles, Jiang's father went back to the account book again. Jiang Li glanced at him distractedly, and found that he was frowning tightly when he was keeping the account, and there was an inexhaustible sadness between his brows.

According to modern time, this time is nine o'clock in the evening. This world is not like the general ancient times, where the sun rises and the sunset rests, and Qingshui Town is a relatively prosperous tourist town. Jiang Li and them came all the way just now, and other places are relatively lively, and the street vendors are still shouting. There are not many pedestrians in the daytime, but there are not a lot of people doing business, and some other restaurants and shops are still brightly lit.

In comparison, his own small inn is too deserted.

The original body usually focuses on reading. After he was admitted to the Puzhou University, he had less time to come back. The affairs of the inn were all handled by Jiang's father. Jiang Li knew from his memory that the inn's business was poor. , but I don't know how deserted it is. Although I didn't go upstairs to see it, there must be not many guests upstairs.

After Jiang Li finished eating the noodles, he walked over to Father Jiang and said to him, "Father, let me help you."

Father Jiang put the pen on the table and closed the half-calculated ledger, not wanting him to see the loss of his inn. The situation, he smiled: "No, it's just a small matter. You and Master Xuanqing are tired all the way. After eating, go back and rest early."

Although Jiang Li wanted to see the situation of the inn in the past few years , but I'm not in a hurry at this time. Anyway, he doesn't plan to leave when he comes back. When he has time in the future, he said, "Well, I'll take the little master to rest first, and come back later."

"Master Xuanqing . Just live upstairs." Jiang's father took out a copper key from the cabinet on the table and handed it to Jiang Li, "On the third floor, you bring Master Xuanqing up first, and I will let Uncle Cai prepare hot water."

Jiang Li nodded, Take Xuan Qing upstairs.

The Jiang's inn is not large, with three floors in total. The first floor is the dining hall, and the second and third floors are rooms. The two floors together have only sixteen rooms, but they have never been full.

The key given by Jiang's father is the best room on the third floor. It is located at the end of the corridor. The room is large and has a very good view. From the south window, you can see the Mudan River in Qingshui Town and the Lingshan Grottoes.

Jiang Li took Xuan Qing up and found that although there were not many guests in the inn, the hygiene of the room was very clean, there was no dust on the tables and chairs, and the bedding was neatly folded, so it must have been cleaned frequently.

Jiang Li opened the window for Xuan Qing to breathe, and then said to him: "You rest for a while, I'll go down and accompany my father."

Xuan Qing nodded: "Where do you live?"

"There is a small yard behind the inn, my father and I Just live there." After Jiang Li finished speaking, he glanced at him and joked, "What? I'm afraid I'll run away? Would you like to live in the backyard with me?"

Xuan Qing: "...No need."

At this time, Uncle Cai He brought hot water to Xuan Qing. Jiang Li saw that an elder in his fifties was carrying a large bucket of hot water. He hurried forward to help, but suddenly there was a wind flashing around him. Xuan Qing had already taken the wood from Uncle Cai's hand. barrel.

"Thank you, Master Xuanqing, your skill is really amazing." Uncle Cai said, before he could react just now, Xuanqing took the wooden barrel in his hand.

Xuan Qing poured the hot water into the tub, turned around and asked Uncle Cai, "Where can I get the water?"

"In the backyard downstairs..." Uncle Cai replied subconsciously, and after realizing what he was going to do, he quickly said, "This kind of work makes me Just come, Master Xuanqing, just wait in the room."

Xuanqing was noncommittal, but went straight out of the room with the wooden barrel. Uncle Cai wanted to follow him, but Jiang Li grabbed him and said: " Uncle Cai, let him go, I have something to ask you."

Xuan Qing is a martial artist, so it is easy for him to carry a bucket of water.

When Uncle Cai heard the words, he nodded: "What are you asking?"

Jiang Li asked him how the inn's business has been in the past few years, and how many people are currently in the store.

Uncle Cai sighed and said, "You can see how the business is doing. In the past few years, it was fine, at least it could support the big guy's expenses, but in the past two years, the more restaurants and inns have opened in the town, the more and more business has been opened. Poor, the money that Lao Jiang filled in is getting more and more. In addition to me and your father, there were three other people in the store, and one was a cook. Later, the business was bad, and everyone left almost the same. Now it's just me and your father. There is also a chorus guy."

The guy was in the inn during the day, and he helped back and forth in the front hall and the kitchen, so at night, Jiang's father asked him to go home to rest, and he and Uncle Cai would keep watch.

At this time, Xuan Qing came up with a bucket of water in one hand. The weight of the two buckets of water was as light as a feather in his hand. He walked up to the third floor without even sweating.

After filling the tub, Xuan Qing returned the tub to Uncle Cai.

After Uncle Cai went down, Xuan Qing unpacked and looked for a change of clothes for a while.

Jiang Li remembered how his face changed suddenly when he flirted with Xuan Qing in the inn last time, and he couldn't help but think of teasing again, and said with a smile: "Little master, you must be very tired after rushing for so many days, or else Let me rub your back and give you a massage!"

Xuan Qing's hands paused and looked back at him. After seeing the joke in his eyes, he remembered the experience of being molested by his language last time, and it was the first time he gave birth. A kind of mentality to cure someone.

So he looked at Jiang Li and said calmly, "Okay."

Jiang Li was stunned: "??"

What's the situation? Monk enlightened? !
