Chapter 24 Leaving
It was not until Xiao Qitian disappeared that Leng Ningxue remembered something. After talking for a long time, she still didn't know who the man was or his name. When she felt regret, her heart suddenly moved.
She didn't know, but Dong Qiaoqiao should know. After all, she was outside and had been working hard for the Leng family's family business for more than a month, and it was understandable that she didn't know the man. However, Dong Qiaoqiao has been in the Leng family and could not be argued if she didn't know the man.
"Qiaoqiao, who is this person?" Leng Ningxue asked. After a while, the maid could not answer. She couldn't help but look at the maid, but saw that the maid looked erratic and obviously was distracted.
Leng Ningxue was angry and funny. She stretched out her palm and shook it in front of the maid, and said loudly: "Dong Qiaoqiao, you're coming back to your senses. Everyone has left. I'll ask you something!"
Besides, the maid and Xiao Qitian's words also made her fall into thousands of thoughts. So when Leng Ningxue talked to her, she didn't respond at all.
How can you know that there is no confidant in the world when the mountains and flowing waters are harmonious?
Confidant...confidant...
Ha ha!
In this world, where is there any confidant?
It’s like, who would know what happened to her family? Who could understand what she was suffering in her heart? Who could feel the pain of being sad but only forcing her to smile?
No!
No one knows, can't understand, can't feel it.
She can only bear everything alone, and she can't even share it with others.
Thinking of this, a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.
At this moment, Leng Ningxue shook her with her hands, which scared her to jump up and screamed "ah".
"Stop! What? Your ears are deafened by you." Leng Ningxue pretended to be angry.
"Uh, Miss, I'm sorry!" The maid quickly apologized.
"Dong Qiaoqiao!" Leng Ningxue's voice suddenly became sharp, "I have said it several times, don't call me big, little, sister!"
"Yes, Miss!"
"Your sister! Are you right?"
"Okay, Ningxue."
"That's right! Everyone said, don't treat yourself as an outsider, this is your home." Leng Ningxue said.
"I understand, my Miss Ningxue." Dong Qiaoqiao smiled, but she sighed in her heart.
Home?
hehe!
Does she still have a home?
What a distant word for her?
She is a maid, not a maid, because the Leng family never treats her as a maid. However, this place is not her home after all, and she still depends on others' home.
Who understands the pain of Wugenping?
If it weren't for her nostalgia here, if it weren't for the greatness of the world, she would have been a weak woman, and she would have been able to find a place to stay. She would have said goodbye to Leng Ningxue and the others long ago, how could she stay until now?
Thinking of this, Dong Qiaoqiao accidentally remembered something and asked, "By the way, Ningxue, what were you going to say to me just now?"
"I'm so embarrassed to say, I'll ask you something! Who was that person just now? Why have I never seen him?" Leng Ningxue did not notice Dong Qiaoqiao's abnormality.
"That's a bastard!"
"ah?"
"That guy, he was obviously able to speak, but he pretended to be mute for me; he was clearly healed, but he was lying on the bed with a stern face, causing me to give him medicine every day. Do you think that's a bastard?" Dong Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth.
"I heard you say that, it's really a bastard." Leng Ningxue nodded.
"Not only bastards, but also hateful! That guy is the culprit who caused the young master to be imprisoned!"
"What? He is the person my brother saved?"
"Who else can be there except him?"
"Okay! But that person is quite talented and looks ugly."
"Yo? Someone won't be in a state of spring, right?"
"Where is it!"
...
On the other side, when Xiao Qitian returned to the room, there was already someone waiting there.
Waiting for him was a middle-aged man in his forties. Xiao Qitian had already known that this person was the butler of the Leng family and had great power in the Leng family.
"Sit!" the butler signaled, asking Xiao Qitian to sit opposite him, then took out a bag and pushed it in front of Xiao Qitian.
"Hmm?" Xiao Qitian was puzzled. He opened the bag. In an instant, there were a lot of white flowers, hundreds of taels of silver, which blinded Xiao Qitian's eyes.
"What does it mean?" he asked.
"It's not interesting, my master said, since you are in good condition, it's time to leave," the butler said.
"Then why give me silver?" Xiao Qitian asked.
"Because you have no money and no silver, how can you survive? Moreover, you have just recovered from your serious injury, and I hope you can buy some supplements to replenish your body." The butler said.
"No need, I'll leave now." Xiao Qitian pushed the silver liang back. He didn't say anything more, got up and walked out. His straightforward appearance made the butler stunned.
"Wait, don't you want to know the reason?" The butler called Xiao Qitian.
"So what if you know the reason? Will you let me stay?" Xiao Qitian asked.
"Uh... can't." The butler choked.
"That's all. Both sides have to leave, so why ask so many questions? You will naturally tell me if you want to say it." Xiao Qitian rolled his eyes.
"That's right." The butler nodded, hesitated for a while, and said, "Actually, if it is an ordinary wounded person, it's okay for me to take in the Leng family."
"That means, I'm not an ordinary wounded person?"
"good!"
"Where is my extraordinary point? Can I still have three heads and six arms?"
"Because your origin is unknown! I have searched the entire Jianhai Town, but I can't find a person like you."
"Isn't it normal? Do I have to be a native of Jianhai Town?"
"It is normal not to be a person from Jianhai Town, but the injuries you suffered were abnormal, and the location where you were discovered was also abnormal."
"Forgive me for being dull, but I still can't see anything wrong."
"The origin is exhausted and the dantian is destroyed. Obviously, your enemy hates you very much. Do you not deny this?" asked the butler.
Xiao Qitian shrugged without justifying.
He can't tell the other party that his dantian was destroyed by himself, right? His origin was also the result of his self-harm? As for the whip mark on his body, it was purely accidental? He accidentally met four men in black who had no grievances but were greedy for his martial arts?
If you say this, don’t say whether the other party believes it or not. I guess even he himself won’t believe it.
The housekeeper thought Xiao Qitian had agreed and said, "If your enemy knew that you were not dead, he would definitely not let you go easily, right? And you were discovered on the beach and should have escaped from the sea. Jianhai Town is backed by the beach, and there is a high chance that your enemy will be found. If the Leng family takes you in, then..."
He paused for a moment and then said, "I am bluntly speaking, the Leng family is just a small family of merchants. They live in a corner. Although they have a little wealth, they still cannot afford to make trouble outside. They do not want to disturb their peaceful life. So, forgive me."
"It's okay, I understand. I should say sorry, I have bothered you for so many days. If nothing else, then I'll leave?" After Xiao Qitian said that, he raised his foot and was about to walk out.
"etc."
"how?"
"You should accept this silver, although not much, but..."
"No. I have hands and face, but I can't starve to death." Xiao Qitian interrupted the butler, "By the way, I thank your master for me. I will repay the kindness of the Leng family. Remember, my name is Xiao Qitian!"
He solemnly introduced himself.
But the housekeeper smiled and shook his head: "No need."
Obviously, he did not take Xiao Qitian's words to heart. In his opinion, the young man in front of him was just ignorant, but how could he know how much kindness he owed the Leng family?
I don’t think about it. In order to heal his wounds these days, the Leng family spent more than a few hundred thousand taels. Even if calculated based on the cost, it was about 100,000 taels.
There is no doubt that this is a huge wealth. Ordinary people can't make money even if they fight for a lifetime, let alone a useless person whose dantian is destroyed?
Fortunately, this money is really not a big money for the Leng family, and it cannot hurt their muscles and bones. If it is spent, it will be spent. Just treat it as a good deed to accumulate some merit.
But he didn't know that the kindness Xiao Qitian said was more than just a few hundred thousand taels?
Of course, Xiao Qitian didn't say much.
Some things are just kept in mind. No matter how much or beautiful you say, they are not as good as proving them with actions.
He glanced at the butler deeply and said goodbye and left.
He walked without any hurry or slow, and he recovered from his serious injury, and his steps were still a little fluent. But his waist and back were straight, with his head held high and his chest held high, as if the whole world could not crush his back.
This scene made his housekeeper stunned.
"Xiao Qitian..." He murmured in a low voice, remembering Xiao Qitian's name after all, but he quickly threw it behind his mind. Perhaps, he subconsciously believed that Xiao Qitian and them were not from the same world. There would be no intersection between the two.
