Afterwards, Shang Xing came to Tianhai Pavilion again, asked Qin Hai about what happened after Shang Tianyu came here, and expressed his apology to Qin Hai on behalf of the Shang family. Before leaving, he left two guards behind, saying that it was to prevent similar people.
It happened again.
After Shang Xing left, the two guards lived in Tianhai Pavilion. They were called guards. In fact, they monitored every move of Qin Hai and Lin Qingya.
Although Shang Xing's statement was watertight and his attitude towards them was as enthusiastic as ever, Qin Hai saw some clues from the vigilant expressions of the two guards. It was very likely that things were different from what Shang Xing said. The two men left
The purpose of being in Tianhai Pavilion is probably not as simple as protecting him and Lin Qingya.
This made Qin Hai very angry. Although the main purpose of his and Lin Qingya's visit to the Shang family this time was to treat Lin Qingya's illness, in the final analysis, they were all invited. The Shang family's attitude towards them now is simply a shame.
Such a huge insult.
If it were any other time, Qin Hai would have walked away long ago, why would he stay here to see people's faces, but considering Lin Qingya's physical condition, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and did not put his own
Find out and tell Lin Qingya.
The day passed quickly, and in the evening, Qin Hai took Lin Qingya out of Tianhai Pavilion and came to the beach again.
The sun sets in the distance, the waves are sparkling on the sea, and the golden sunset renders the entire sea dreamlike.
Lin Qingya was wearing a white gauze skirt, with its train fluttering in the sea breeze. It clung to her body and outlined a perfect figure, making her as beautiful as a fairy relegated to the mortal world.
Beauty paired with beautiful scenery is definitely a feast for the eyes for Qin Hai, but his current mood is as disgusting as taking a bite of an apple and finding half a worm.
Twenty or thirty meters behind them, the two guards Shang Xing left in Tianhai Pavilion followed them slowly, paying close attention to their whereabouts.
Lin Qingya looked back and chuckled: "Forget it, let's go back."
Qin Hai was no longer in the mood to continue walking. No one would like the feeling of being watched, and he was no exception.
Back at Tianhai Pavilion, Lin Qingya returned to her room. Qin Hai had nothing to do and was going to the kitchen to see what he would eat tonight.
In addition to the villa where Qin Hai and Lin Qingya live, Tianhai Pavilion also has two houses, one is a servant's room, and the other is a utility room and kitchen, both of which are behind the villa.
Qin Hai had just arrived at the door of the kitchen and unexpectedly heard someone cursing and saying something next to him. He followed the sound and walked around, only to see a male servant from Tianhai Pavilion driving away an old man.
The old man looks very slovenly, with a stooped back and wrinkled face. He can't tell how old he is. His gray hair is messy and he hasn't washed his hair for an unknown amount of time. He looks like an old beggar.
He was holding an iron basin as big as a face in his hand, but it only contained a few leftovers. Under the urging of the middle-aged male servant, he moved towards the side step by step, and said something in his mouth.
I'm mumbling a lot, but I don't know what I'm talking about.
Qin Hai was very surprised. Tianhai Pavilion is located in the Shang family's compound. How did this old beggar appear here?
At this time, the middle-aged male servant also saw Qin Hai and hurriedly turned around and ran over with a smile on his face: "Mr. Qin, I'm sorry, did my voice sound too loud and disturbed you?"
This middle-aged male servant is called Jiang De, and he is the leader of the Tianhai Pavilion servants. Qin Hai met him yesterday.
Qin Hai looked at the old man and asked curiously: "Master Jiang, what's going on with this man? Can outsiders come in to Tianhai Pavilion?"
"He didn't come in from outside, he has been living here." Jiang De explained, "Actually, we don't know who he is. Two or three years ago, he came up from the sea in a broken boat and kept talking about his home.
He is here, refusing to leave, and if we send him away, he will seek death. Later, the clan leader found out about the trouble, and felt that he was pitiful, so he let him live here and gave him food to eat.
Good deeds sustain him.”
Qin Hai asked: "Looking at how old he is, could it be that his home was really here before?"
Jiang De said: "That's also possible. There seems to be a small fishing village in this area before, but it was later abandoned. This old man might have lived here before, but no one can say for sure. Mr. Qin, don't worry.
We will never let him enter the kitchen, so you don't have to worry about him dirtying the food."
Qin Hai waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm not worried about this, I'm just curious to ask. This old man has lived here for so long, haven't his family members come here to look for him?"
"I've never seen that before. The clan leader sent people out to inquire about it the first year, but they didn't get any information."
It happened that at this time a maid came out from the kitchen with two plates of food. Qin Hai asked for the plate of braised pork and said to Jiang De: "The old man is helpless and very pitiful. Can I give him some food?"
?”
Jiang De saw that Qin Hai was interested in the old man and quickly advised him: "Mr. Qin, you are a good person, but this old man has a bad temper. If he is annoyed, he will open his mouth and bite, so you must be careful and don't let him
He bit him."
"Don't worry, it's okay!" Qin Hai smiled and walked up to the old man with braised pork.
The old man was squatting in the corner holding the iron basin and pulling the rice inside. He smelled the aroma of braised pork and immediately looked over. He stared blankly at the braised pork in Qin Hai's hand. His throat kept sliding up and down, and he was drooling.
I don't know how much I swallowed.
Qin Hai squatted in front of the old man, put the braised pork on the ground, and said with a smile: "Eat it, it was just brought out from the kitchen, it's clean."
The old man glanced at Qin Hai and asked warily: "Do you really want to eat it for me?"
"Yes, don't worry, there is no poison in this meat!" Qin Hai took the initiative to grab a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth, chewed it twice and said, "Look, I ate it too!"
The old man turned back and glanced at Jiang De in the distance. He quickly picked up the plate of braised pork and poured it all into his iron basin. Then he suddenly stood up and hid in a corner where Jiang De couldn't see.
Inside, he buried his face in the iron basin and began to eat in large chunks.
The old man's mouth was full of oil, and the way he wolfed it down also aroused the greed in Qin Hai's stomach. He smiled and prepared to go back to the villa to ask Lin Qingya to come down for dinner.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice came from behind: "That boy, wait a moment!"
When Qin Hai turned around, the sloppy old man waved to him, motioning for Qin Hai to go over, and then asked in a low voice: "Do you have any wine?"
"Pfft!" Qin Hai burst out laughing. This old man is really interesting. He is not satisfied with eating meat and wants to drink.
