After Bai Zhi got home, she got into the quilt and covered her head. Chu You pulled it a few times, but Bai Zhi didn't move at all.Chu You had no choice but to hug Bai Zhi and the quilt in his arms.Rubbing the quilt with her face, she said softly: "Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, I will face it with you."

The next morning, Bai Zhi hurried to Xiao Qi's house without even having breakfast.From a long distance, he saw Xiao Qi standing at the gate looking forward to it like every day.

"Xiao Qi?" Bai Zhi walked forward slowly, calling him timidly, afraid that everything in front of him was an illusion.

Xiao Qi turned around and looked at Bai Zhi with a slight smile: "Bai, Bai Zhi?"

"Xiao Qi, hello!" Bai Zhi walked up to him excitedly. Bai Zhi said yes, not that Xiao Qi has completely returned to normal, but that Xiao Qi is not immersed in his own world like yesterday .

Thinking that Xiao Qi would not answer, Bai Zhi wanted to reconfirm that Xiao Qi was really okay, so she asked again: "Xiao Qi, what are you doing standing here?"

"Wait for Qi."

Bai Zhi's hanging heart can be regarded as falling to the ground.

A few more days passed like this, and one day, Chu You accompanied Bai Zhi for a walk in the village, but saw a commotion at the head of the village, surrounded by many people.

"Go and see?" Chu You pointed in that direction.

The two walked towards the entrance of the village, and the group of people came this way, and the villagers surrounded a wealthy young man in the middle.

"Who is this?" Chu You asked.

Someone explained: "This is Boss Lan from Liangzhou, who came to us to buy furs."

Boss Lan is more than 20 years old, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, wearing a blue dress, white jade around his waist, and a big cloak, without the slightest smell of copper. If you see him elsewhere, you may think that he is just a young son.

Boss Lan saw that Chu You and Bai Zhiping were good-looking, but he didn't expect such people to exist in such a small place. It must be the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, so he felt kindness towards Chu You and Bai Zhiping, and smiled He nodded towards the two of them.

Chu You made a bow and said, "I'm here, Chu You."

"I'm Bai Zhi." Bai Zhi said with a smile on the side.

Chu You didn't hunt, and he had no furs to sell at home, so he had a few polite words with Boss Lan, asking him to go ahead with the hunters in the village, and he and Bai Zhi to follow behind the crowd.

When approaching Xiao Qi's house, Xiao Qi was still standing at the door, but Bai Zhi asked curiously: "There are so many people at the entrance of this village, why didn't Xiao Qi come over to have a look?"

Aunt Li happened to be walking in front of Bai Zhi, and when she heard what he said, she turned her head and said, "Go, take a look there and say no, then come back."

Boss Lan, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped, looked at Xiao Qi and asked the village chief who was with him: "Who is this?"

"He is not from our Anning Village. He came here with a man about three years ago," the village head's gray beard twitched as he spoke, "I bought this house after he came here. We didn't leave the house all day, and we didn't know where they came from or what their names were. After a while, for some reason, the man who came with him disappeared, and he was the only one left. I don't know what happened What, this kid has become like this. When he bought this house, I followed him to take a look. He was a high-spirited young man at that time, but now... oh!"

When the village chief said this, he couldn't bear to say any more. Xiao Qi still looked at the direction of the village entrance, ignoring the people in front of him, as if what they said had nothing to do with him.

"Village chief, I won't be able to collect all these furs in a while. I said before that I want you to find me a place to live. Why don't I just live here." Boss Lan said to the village chief, but this His eyes were on Xiao Qi all the time.

The village chief was a little hesitant, and Boss Lan said again: "I am collecting furs here, so many people will inevitably come and go, and there are many female relatives in other people's homes, so it may be inconvenient. Xiao Qi is alone and a man, and he wants to live here. It's more convenient here."

What Boss Lan said was true. When he asked the village chief to find a place to live, the village chief was a little troubled by it.If you don't do it, you're afraid you'll offend Boss Lan and lose a deal.But this place is not very easy to find, there is no one who has a big girl and a little daughter-in-law, not to mention anything else, it's just that it's not convenient for him to live as a big man.

Except for Xiao Qi, only Chu You lived alone in the village, but now that Chu You has Bai Zhi at home, and there is only one room, there is no place for others to live.

The village head pondered for a moment, then asked Xiao Qi with a smile: "Xiao Qi, this is Boss Lan who came to our village to collect furs. Would he like to stay at your house for a few days?"

Xiao Qi stared blankly at Boss Lan for a long time, then nodded with a smile: "Okay."

Seeing that Xiao Qi agreed, the village chief said to Boss Lan: "Xiao Qi's house has several rooms, and Boss Lan can choose one to live in. Although this child is a bit stupid, he is not noisy, but he is a good person. It's very quiet, Boss Lan can rest assured about that. It's just that he likes to stand at the gate and look at the entrance of the village during the day, so you don't have to pay attention to it, just let him go."

Boss Lan repeatedly agreed.

Bai Zhi leaned over and reminded him in a low voice: "Don't tell him that Xiao Qi doesn't want him anymore, he will go crazy even more."

"More Mr. Bai, I know."

For some reason, seeing Boss Lan's eyes on Xiao Qi, Bai Zhi always felt that he had some plans for Xiao Qi.

After arranging the residence, Boss Lan followed the village chief to the village again, but Bai Zhi did not leave. He said to Chu You: "Brother Chu, go back and read, I will stay with Xiao Qi for a while."

A group of people walked away in a mighty way, but Xiao Qi surprisingly did not continue to look at the village entrance, his eyes followed the backs of the group of people going away.

Bai Zhi also stretched her neck to look: "What are you looking at? Boss Lan?"

Xiao Qi didn't answer, and didn't turn his gaze back until the group of figures could no longer be seen, and continued to look at the entrance of the village.

"Why do you feel that Xiao Qi is a little different today." Bai Zhi muttered to herself.

"Hey, Bai Zhi!" Zhao Cuiliu appeared out of nowhere, and patted Bai Zhi's shoulder with one hand, which startled Bai Zhi.

"It's Miss Zhao." Bai Zhi patted her bouncing heart.

Zhao Cuiliu didn't realize that Bai Zhi's actions had frightened Bai Zhi at all, so she still smiled and said to him, "Bai Zhi, are the buns I made last time delicious?"

"Delicious, delicious." As soon as the steamed stuffed bun was mentioned, why did Bai Zhi feel hungry, obviously it wasn't long after eating.

"I made another kind of dessert recently, can you try it for me?"

Bai Zhi cheerfully followed Zhao Cuiliu away, she was not the only one in Zhao Cuiliu's family, which saved the trouble of living alone and widows in the same room.

I have to say that Zhao Cuiliu's craftsmanship is very good, well, it's still a little bit worse than Brother Chu.Bai Zhi patted her chubby belly, held the snacks from Zhao Cuiliu in her hand, and happily walked home. This is "can't you walk around without food?"

All day long, Bai Zhi was happy.

After dinner, Chu You sat at the desk and read a book, and Bai Zhi came to him with a short story book and looked at it by the faint oil lamp.Chu You quietly pushed the oil lamp towards Bai Zhi.

After a long time, Bai Zhi suddenly dropped the little story book, frowned and turned back and forth on the ground with her hands behind her back.

Chu You was dizzy from his turning, and raised his head from the pile of books to pick out the wick: "What's the matter? Have you eaten too much?" Take a walk?

"This is not right, Brother Chu, this is not right." Bai Zhi suddenly rushed to Chu You's table, looking at him seriously.

It was the first time for Chu You to see Bai Zhi with such a serious look. She was very cute. She stretched out her hand to pinch his little face, and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Bai Zhi jumped onto Chu You's desk: "I think there is something wrong with that Boss Lan. I heard that he has a big business. You said that a big business doesn't even have a servant around?"

Chu You put his hand in his hand and played with it: "What's the matter, maybe people don't like to carry it."

"Even so, haven't you seen that the way he looks at Xiao Qi is different from the way he looks at others?"

I didn't pay attention to it. There were so many people at that time, and Chu You was behind. He was not born to join in the fun, but he just accompanied Bai Zhi to watch. How could he notice so much: "What's the difference?"

Bai Zhi thought for a while: "He looks at Xiao Qi in the same way that Brother Chu looks at me." As soon as the words came out, Bai Zhi felt quite ridiculous. When Brother Chu looked at him, his eyes were tender and full of love .

"No, no." Bai Zhi shook her head, "That should be a greedy gaze."

"Greedy eyes?" Chu You laughed, he really didn't know what was going on in this little fox's head, "But ask Mr. Bai, why is Boss Lan so greedy about Xiao Qi?"

"I don't think Boss Lan is in the fur business, he's a flower dealer, and he's looking for someone like Xiao Qi who is alone and stupid to sell." The more Bai Zhi said, the more she felt reasonable, "Look, If someone like Xiao Qi is kidnapped, no one will look for him, and he doesn't know anything, and if someone gives him something, he will be cheated away, how easy it is to cheat."

Chu You said helplessly: "Then what do you think he wants to cheat Xiao Qi away?" If you want to deceive a child, or a beautiful girl, what can you do to deceive a foolish person.

"Sell it to others as a coolie." How nice it is to be able to work without paying wages.

Bai Zhi jumped down from the table, grabbed Chu You's hand and ran out in a hurry: "Brother Chu, Xiao Qi is in danger, if you go late, it will be too late."

Arriving outside the door of Xiao Qi's house, Bai Zhi was even more convinced that her guess just now was correct.Someone in the room was talking, but I couldn't hear what was said, only Qi could be heard moaning/groaning as if he was struggling.

The two looked at each other, and Chu You couldn't help but open the door and go in.

Inside the house, Boss Lan hugged Xiao Qi who was struggling.

"What are you doing!" Bai Zhi shouted, rejoicing in her heart, fortunately, it was not too late.

Boss Lan didn't expect someone to break into the door at this time, he let go of his arm for a moment in a daze, and Xiao Qi ran out.

Bai Zhi grabbed Xiao Qi's arm with one hand to protect him behind him, and stared fiercely at Boss Lan.

Chu You raised his eyebrows: "Boss Lan, aren't you going to explain?"

Boss Lan didn't panic at all, and asked instead: "Do you know who he is waiting for?"

"It's Xiao Qi!" Bai Zhi said angrily.

Boss Lan smiled wryly, "My name is Lan Qi."
