He Ba Hongyi thought that no one would recognize his true identity in the crowd. At first, he refused to respond and continued to squat on the street with his hands hanging on the charcoal stove to keep warm. Until a young swordsman suddenly sat down Beside him, someone pretended to be serious and said something again.
"He Ba Hongyi, don't you recognize me?"
"Ah!" Heba Shi exclaimed, jumped up, and then quickly tripped to the ground again. He looked at the other party helplessly and said, "Bai Feng, why are you here?"
Bai Feng pointed to the plaque in front of the gate of Yuyi Academy and replied: "This is Yuyi Academy. Isn't it natural for me to be here?"
"This...this, I don't know!" He Ba Hongyi seemed to have never noticed where he was. He just drifted with the tide, desperately supporting his weak body, and stumbled to the gate of the academy to ask for relief rations.
But seeing Heba think for a moment, he actually chose to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy: "Young Master Bai, I am not here to trouble you! I just happened to pass by. I will leave now and will never appear in front of you!" "
"Brother Heba, I don't mean to blame you." Bai Feng helped Heba Hongyi up with good intentions and replied: "On the contrary, I want to ask you for something, please come with me."
After that, Bai Feng took off his coat and cloak and put it on Heba's body affectionately. This move really flattered Heba Hongyi and made other bereaved dogs around him envious.
In front of their academy, Su Qing saw that the rumored stumbling block was in such a state of desolation. The unscrupulous thief couldn't help but joked, "Does it mean that evil people are being punished? Brother Bai, do you really want to continue to support him?" these people?"
"Brother Su, I'll leave this to you first." Bai Feng did not directly respond to Su Qing's question. After speaking, he walked into the living room with Heba Hongyi.
Zichai, the maid who has been following Xiaomei Zhao these days, has already taken care of various affairs inside and outside the academy. Now, she can take charge of some things independently, such as receiving distinguished guests from far away.
Serving people's daily life sounds very simple. In fact, as long as you are not careful, you will arouse resentment. Although Zi Chai often appears in front of everyone as the confidant of the younger sister and Su Qing's adopted sister, in the eyes of strangers, , she is just an ordinary slave.
Taking care of things step by step is Zichai's daily life, which made her learn to observe words and emotions very early.
When the academy first started, she had received merchants from the town, herdsmen from the fortress, and people from the small villages. Most of them were ordinary people with neither status nor privileges. Today, suddenly being entrusted by the master of the academy, she left Zhao Xiaomei and went to the hall to prepare hot food and drinks with several fellow disciples and wait for a while.
Bai Feng and a crippled man were seen taking their seats, and then, with great respect, the young swordsman asked Zichai to fill the other man's cup with warm wine first.
Zichai took the order and served the wine to congratulate Hongyi. It can be seen that although Heba tried his best to cover up his disgraceful image, Zichai still caught a strange sign - this man's face was full of fear, but his brows were full of arrogance, and even hidden jealousy.
"Young Master, please." After Zi Chai finished speaking, she went to fill up the wine for Bai Feng. Then she bowed beside him and said, "Senior Brother Bai, Miss Zhao has something important to ask you. It concerns the refugees outside the academy. Please come as soon as possible, Senior Brother." decision."
Bai Feng looked at Zichai with some confusion, but seeing the solemn look on his face, he immediately nodded in agreement.
"Then, Zi Chai will leave first."
"Miss Zichai, walk slowly."
After Zichai left with all his disciples, Bai Feng happily raised a glass to congratulate Ba Hongyi and said, "Brother He Ba, why have you ended up like this and don't want to seek my bad luck?"
"Young Master Bai, how can I be your opponent? Hahaha, isn't this look the best proof?" Heba sneered, drank the warm wine in one gulp, and continued: "My men actually took advantage of this. Unexpectedly, he knocked me unconscious, took away all the valuable things from me, and ran away!"
"So, whose order did Brother Heba come here?"
"My father is He Batao, the general of Wuchuan Town, and I am the real eldest son of the He Bat family!" After He Ba Hongyi finished talking, he filled up another glass of wine, drank it down in one gulp, and said something Slightly drunken words: "Just because my biological mother had an affair with an outsider, my father sent me to the farthest place from home to do dangerous things but without any merit!"
"Um, Wuchuan Town sent Brother He Ba here?" Bai Feng said.
Heba said: "My second brother Heba Sheng sent his confidant to take charge of the task, but it was actually to embarrass me. Now that man has been killed by a little heroine, and I have also been betrayed by his subordinates... Now, I will no longer Maybe he returned to Wuchuan Town."
"Shaoxia Bai, after my father heard about your deeds, he has always wanted to take you for his own use. If that doesn't work, he will ask me to send someone to trap you and kill you! However, after seeing Shaoxia Bai's kindness with my own eyes, I can no longer bear to treat Shaoxia Bai Poisonous hand."
After Heba finished speaking, he suddenly stood up, walked to Bai Feng, knelt down on the ground, and thanked him: "Thank you, Young Master Bai, for not killing me!"
"It's not me you should be thankful for, it's the girl you saved that day." As soon as Bai Feng finished speaking, Murong Yan slowly walked over from the door: "Look, she's here."
"Master He Ba! Please get up quickly." Murong Yan seemed to have just come out of the medical clinic, and her body was still exuding a strong aroma of herbs. After she entered the door, she saw He Ba Hongyi kneeling in front of Bai Feng. She thought it was the young swordsman who was threatening him, so she asked: "Brother Feng, what happened just now?"
"Yan'er, Brother He Ba is just expressing his feelings to me. Now it seems that those troublemaking refugees are going to find all the homeless people in the town next time." Bai Feng said He stood up and took Mr. Heba back to his seat. He took two cushions and asked Murong Yan to sit next to him. The two of them shared a table with Mr. Heba.
Murong Yan lamented and said: "Then how should we deal with it? We can't really support them all the time, right? The academy can't stand such trouble. As the saying goes, 'It's better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish', so why don't we find something to do?" Let them do it?”
"Brother Heba, what do you think?" Bai Feng looked at the other party with a slight smile, but in fact he was testing him with sharp eyes like a falcon, just to see how Heba Hongyi answered.
"I...I, I think Miss Murong is right...Now I also have nothing, and I can't live on the food that comes from me." He Ba Hongyi lowered his head in shame and murmured: "If I could, I would Everything I know - about Wuchuan Town, about the six-town coalition, and the money rat that helped me find Bai Shaoxia and Miss Murong... I can tell you all these things!"
Bai Feng said happily: "Okay, Brother Heba, I treat you like this in vain! If you value this humble room, you are welcome to come often."
After saying that, Bai Feng and Murong Yan looked at each other and smiled. The latter immediately went back to the house to find a winter coat and prepared several taels of silver to give to Heba. He Ba Hongyi was so moved that his eyes filled with tears. After bidding farewell to the heroic couple, he stood outside the academy for a long time and refused to leave. He did not leave silently until night was approaching and the cold was unbearable.
