All-Rounded Strategy Game - Chapter 190

When Jiang Li saw his father’s dazed expression, he introduced Xuan Qing to him, focusing on how he met the bandits on the way back, and then Xuan Qing rescued him.

When Father Jiang heard that he was robbed by bandits, his face turned pale, and he forgot to cook the noodles. He turned back up and down to check if he was injured: “Why did you meet a bandit? Where did you get hurt? Show dad. !”

Hearing his anxious and caring words, Jiang Chengli warmed up and turned around twice, then comforted: “No injury, Master Xuanqing appeared in time and beat the bandits away, nothing happened.”

“…” Xuan Qing remembered Jiang Li’s appearance before lying on the ground, and seeing Father Jiang’s anxious and worried expression, she didn’t know whether to expose him or not to expose him.

However, Father Jiang listened to his words and put his heart at ease. He repeated the phrase “It’s fine if it’s okay.” Then he turned to Xuanqing and said, “Master Xuanqing, right? Thanks to you, I saved my son, Lao Jiang. I bow to you here.”

As he arched his hands, he was about to bend towards Xuanqing.

But before his waist was bent down, Xuan Qing came to him in a flash, stretched out his hand to stop his movement: “It doesn’t have to be this way.”

If someone else bowed, Xuan Qing wouldn’t care at all, but if he changed to Father Jiang, he always felt inexplicably that if he accepted the ceremony, it would be out of courtesy.

Although Xuan Qing said so, Father Jiang was grateful, and said many times thank you, saying that he didn’t know how to thank Xuan Qing. Jiang Li reminded him that the noodles hadn’t been cooked before he reacted: ” Yes, yes, I’ll ask someone to cook noodles for you, Master Xuanqing is a vegetarian, right?”

Xuan Qing nodded: “I have work.”

“It should be.” Father Jiang said quickly. Xuan Qing saved his son. He was a great 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 Xuanqing and sat down at the table beside him, then went to the checkout counter and brought out a pot of hot tea, poured a cup for himself and Xuanqing, and said, “My father is so excited, don’t care.”

Xuanqing shook her head and said softly: “Your father cares about you very much.”

“Yeah.” Jiang Li smiled and blinked at him, “Thanks to you for saving my life, otherwise I will leave my father alone in this world.”

His eyes were full of smiles, and Xuan Qing only felt that he was shaken by the clever look in his eyes, unconsciously lost his mind, as if someone had been watching him like this when he heard the footsteps of Father Jiang coming out of it. Later, he looked away from the other eyes unnaturally.

At this time, the system reminded Jiang Li: “Master host, the male protagonist’s favorability has risen by 5%.”

Father Jiang remembered that he was in a hurry to arrange for someone to cook noodles for the two of them. He forgot to pour Xuanqing tea first, so he rushed out again. He saw that the two of them had already sat down to drink tea, so he was relieved and walked to Jiang. Sit down next to Li.

“Master Xuanqing, you are the great benefactor of our family, and you don’t want to thank you for your great kindness.” Father Jiang poured tea for Xuanqing and said in a sincere tone.

“The words are serious.” Xuan Qing held up the teacup.

After drinking tea, Father Jiang asked Xuanqing where he came from, and whether he had anything to do in Qingshui Town this time. If not, please ask him to stay here so that he can do his best as a landlord and express himself. gratitude.

He just finished speaking, before Xuanqing spoke, Jiang Li said: “He has nothing to do, just wandering around in his spare time. I heard that our Qingshui town has beautiful scenery and outstanding people, so I have to follow me to see it. I can’t help it. I can only bring him back.”

Xuan Qing: “…”

When Jiang Li said that he wanted to repay Xuan Qing and brought him back to see the good scenery of Qingshui Town, he didn’t say that. His arrogance of right and wrong made Xuan Qing look at him with a difficult expression.

“What are you doing looking at me like this?” Jiang Li looked innocent, “Didn’t you say you want to come back with me?”

“…” Xuan Qing remembered that he had taken the initiative to say that he wanted to come back with Jiang Li at the inn, and was speechless for a while.

Instead, Father Jiang reprimanded Jiang Li in a low voice: “Li’er! How can you talk to Master Xuanqing like this? No big or small, Master Xuanqing is your savior, that is, your reborn parent.”

The words “rebirth parents” made Xuan Qing’s eyelids jump. He is only 19 years old this year, but he feels like his father Jiang is the same generation. Just thinking of making a sound so that Father Jiang doesn’t have to be like this, Jiang Li stretched his voice. “Oh”, he looked at him meaningfully: “Reborn parents…”

Xuan Qing: “…” There is always a not-so-good premonition.

During the conversation between the three, the noodles cooked by Uncle Cai in the kitchen delivered them. A bowl of Xuanqing plain noodles, and Jiang Li’s ribs noodles one night, steaming noodles, drove away the coolness of the night.

Uncle Cai put the noodles down, smiled and said to Jiang Li: “Xiao Li can be counted as coming back. Old Jiang has been looking forward to the night and waiting for the past few days. I hope you will come back soon.”

Uncle Cai is a relative of the Jiang family. In his early years, his wife lost his footing and fell into the river, unfortunately, he lived by himself in a small restaurant to help the kitchen. Later, Father Jiang opened an inn and knew that he was good at cooking, so he hired him to the inn as a chef.

The original body was considered to have grown up eating the food he cooked. When Jiang’s father opened the inn, he was too busy to take care of the young original body. The relationship between the two is relatively deep.

Jiang Li smiled at Uncle Cai: “Uncle Cai, haven’t seen you for a long time, how are you doing?”

“Okay.” Uncle Cai smiled heartily, looked at Xuan Qing and said, “How do you call this little master?”

Jiang Li introduced Xuanqing and Uncle Cai to each other, and Uncle Cai responded with a smile, and told them to eat quickly so that the soup would not get cold, and he went back to the kitchen after speaking.

Jiang Li took a pair of chopsticks and asked Father Jiang on the side: “Father, don’t you want to eat? I will share half of you?”

“No need.” Father Jiang waved his hand with a smile, “I’m not hungry, you can eat quickly, don’t get cold.”

Seeing that he said no to eat, Xuan Qing nodded, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat. His noodles are plain, although there is no meat, but Uncle Cai added green vegetables and potato shreds to him, which is not too dull.

While they were eating the noodles, Father Jiang went back to the bookkeeping book. Jiang Li glanced at him distractedly, and found that his brows were frowning tightly when he was bookkeeping, and there was an unending sadness between his eyebrows.

This time point is calculated according to modern time, and it is nine o’clock in the evening. This world is not like the ordinary ancient times where the sunrise and sunset, and Qingshui Town is a relatively prosperous tourist town. Just now Jiang Li and the others came all the way, the other places are quite lively, and the street vendors are still shouting. Although there are not as many pedestrians as there are during the day, some other restaurants and shops are also brightly lit.

In contrast, my own small inn is too deserted.

The original body usually focuses on reading. After being admitted to the Puzhou University, there is little time to come back. Father Jiang takes care of the affairs of the inn. Jiang Li knows from his memory that the inn’s business is poor. , I didn’t know it was deserted to this level. Although I didn’t look upstairs, there were not many guests upstairs.

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

Father Jiang put the pen together and closed the half-calculated account book. He didn’t want him to see the loss of his inn. He smiled and said, “No, this is a trivial matter. You and Master Xuanqing are tired after all the way. , Go back and rest early after eating.”

Although Jiang Li wanted to see the situation of the inn over the past few years, he was not in a hurry at this moment. Anyway, he didn’t plan to leave anyway. He had time in the future, so he said, “That’s OK, I’ll take the little master first. Go rest and come back later.”

“Master Xuanqing will live upstairs.” Father Jiang took out a copper key from the cabinet on the table and handed it to Jiang Li. “On the third floor, you take Master Xuanqing upstairs first, and I will let Uncle Cai prepare hot water.”

Jiang Li nodded and took Xuanqing upstairs.

The Jiang family’s inn is small in size, with three floors in total. The first floor is the dining hall, the second and third floors are rooms. The two floors together do not have 16 rooms, but they have never been full.

The key given by Father Jiang 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 Xuanqing up and found that although there were not many guests in the inn, the sanitation of the room was very clean. There was no dust on the tables and chairs, and the bedding on the bed was neatly folded. It must be cleaned frequently.

Jiang Li opened the window for Xuanqing to breathe, and then said to him, “You take a rest first, and I will go down and accompany my father.”

Xuan Qing nodded: “Where do you live?”

“There is a small yard behind the inn. Dad and I live there.” After Jiang Li finished speaking, he glanced at him and jokingly said, “Why? Afraid of me running away? Would you like to live with me in the backyard?”

Xuan Qing: “…no need.”

At this time, Uncle Cai brought hot water to Xuanqing. Jiang Li watched an elder in his fifties carrying a large bucket of hot water. He hurriedly stepped forward to help. Suddenly a wind flashed by his side, and Xuanqing had already accepted Cai. The barrel in my uncle’s hand is gone.

“Thank you, Master Xuan Qing, you are really amazing.” Uncle Cai said. Before he could react just now, Xuan Qing took the wooden barrel in his hand.

Xuan Qing poured 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. After regaining his sense of what he was going to do, he said quickly, “I will do this kind of work. Master Xuanqing, just wait in the house.”

Xuan Qing was noncommittal, just carrying the barrel straight out of the door. Uncle Cai wanted to follow, Jiang Li grabbed him and said, “Uncle Cai, let him go, I have something to ask you.”

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

Uncle Cai nodded when he heard the words, “Why are you asking?”

Jiang Li asked him how the inn’s business has been in recent years, and how many people are currently in the shop.

Uncle Cai sighed and said: “You have seen how the business is. The previous years were good. At least it can support the expenses of the big guys. However, the more restaurants and inns in the town have opened in the past two years, the business has become more and more. It’s bad, and the money that Lao Jiang fills in is getting more and more. Originally, besides me and your father, there were three guys in the store, one to help cook. Later, the business was bad and everyone was almost gone. Now only me and your father, There is also a little lad.”

The young man was in the inn during the day, and he helped back and forth in the front hall and the kitchen, so in the evening, Father Jiang asked him to go home to rest, and he and Uncle Cai stayed vigil.

At this time, Xuan Qing came with a bucket of water in one hand, and the weight of the two buckets of water in his hand was as light as a feather. 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 untied her baggage and looked for a change of clothes.

Jiang Li remembered the sudden change in his face when he molested Xuanqing in the inn last time. He couldn’t help but teasing again. He smiled and said, “Little master, you must be very tired after driving so many days. Let me help you rub your back and massage it!”

Xuan Qing paused for his movements, looked back at him, and after seeing the jokes in his eyes, remembering the last experience of being molested by his language, for the first time he gave birth to a mentality of trying to cure someone.

So he looked at Jiang Li and said calmly: “Okay.”

Jiang Li was taken aback: “???”

what’s the situation? Has the monk opened up? !
