Bai Qiling's eyes were flushed red against the backdrop of the stew pot burning a small fire in front of him. Like a beast that is about to eat people, it will open its bloody mouth and swallow people.
Hua'er was afraid of such a fierce look.
But he was almost strangled to death the night before, and suffered a high fever all night. Now he was hanging on with his last breath to earn a few pennies to buy medicine. The nameless anger in his chest burned up, and he glared back fiercely. My life is on the line, what can you do to me?
Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the two of them looked at each other. Hua'er tried her best to suppress the urge to rush forward, grab his collar and ask him if he wanted to kill me, and then looked down at his shoes.
The girl who was in charge of serving the dishes bowed and stepped back. When she saw that she didn't move, she came back and pulled her sleeves and took her out. After going out, she reprimanded her: Don't you have good eyesight? It's your turn to step back. What are you doing standing there? Let the people in charge see it and don’t talk about your hard-earned money. If they don’t talk about it, you will be lucky today!
This girl named Lingdang is really talkative, but she always means well. Hua'er heard her kindness and bowed her head to apologize to her. But Lingdang was reluctant: You can make amends with me, can't you? The difference is too great!
After a while, the banquet became lively. Mr. Wang pointed to the room full of beautiful people and asked Bai Qiling: "Second Master Bai has been away all year round, so he must be a little unfamiliar with Yanzhuo City. It's hard to find beautiful girls in Yanzhuo City nowadays." Now, all the ones I can count are here. Times are hard. If Mr. Bai likes anyone, he might as well tell me and help the girl find a way out." Everyone held their breath, everyone in the crowd was panicking, for fear of being killed by the cannibal. Mr. Bai pointed at it.
When Bai Qiling heard this, he raised his eyes and pointed casually: "Her." This finger actually pointed to the head of Cicada, who had hardly raised his head since he entered the house to serve. Xian Chan didn't know what happened, but he felt that he had been pushed. He covered his mouth and did not dare to make a sound, for fear of being blamed by some noble person. Until the eldest girl smiled and said to her: "Congratulations, sister. I came to the house today to do an errand and was favored by Mr. Bai. Please kneel down and thank me!"
Although Xian Chan's life was poor, he was not grateful for such things. His body was upright, and although he did not follow his words, he stood proudly.
"Don't want to? Don't you know how to appreciate it?" Mr. Wang snorted and turned to Bai Qiling: "If you make Mr. Bai displeased, I'm afraid you won't survive tomorrow."
This little Yanzhuo city is intertwined with officials and merchants. Everyone at the table had a good relationship with Bai Qiwu in the past. Officials expected Bai Qiwu to donate money, and businessmen expected him to reward business. With his departure, Mr. Bai will be in charge, and he has not yet arrived in Yan. He was in the city, but his face was in the sky first. The Wang family sent three invitations, so quickly that no one else saw it. Mr. Wang still had to personally invite him, so he reluctantly went to the banquet today. Everyone was unhappy with him, but in the officialdom and in the shopping malls, they were all experienced people. On the surface, they were exchanging cups and cups, but secretly they were thinking of giving him some trouble. If he kills this ungrateful person in a fit of rage, he will be sued and walked away even if he can't eat.
They all looked at Bai Qiling to see how he would deal with this woman. Sure enough, the wine glass in his hand had already been thrown out, and it hit the back of the door with a cicada in his hand. With a bang, everyone was frightened, and it happened to be the girl who passed on the new dish. Come in, the first one stepped on the broken glass, and with an ouch, he knelt down on the ground. A series of people bumped into each other behind them, and Hua'er at the end stood up quickly with quick eyes and feet, taking advantage of the situation to glance at the cicada.
Xian Chan is such a gentle woman. Although she is frightened at the moment, she still does not change her original intention, but her legs are shaking.
Hua'er felt bad, but Mr. Wang had already stood up to lecture others. The girl who fell down behaved disrespectfully in front of the distinguished guests, and each of them was rewarded with two boards. The eldest girl was smart and said angrily on the side: "You are waiting to make Second Master Bai unhappy. I think Second Master Bai is magnanimous. Why don't you thank Second Master?"
Today, Bai Qiling must be blamed for this evil person; he must bear this evil spirit. Even if you are well-known outside and others respect you and are afraid of hiding from you, you will still be that puppet when you return to Yanzhuo City. You will eat whatever is given to you, and you will sing whatever you are asked to sing. .
"If Mr. Wang wants to defeat someone, he can just do it. There are so many women in the world, so why bother to stick to this thin and sallow one in front of you? With all due respect, if anyone wants to shove their way in front of me, do you think I don't have eyesight?" Bai Qiling raised his brows. He stood up and sneered: "If you have never seen a real beauty, how about I send some to your house?"
"If I want to be kind, I might as well feed that one who is about to starve to death." Bai Qiling pointed his hand again and reached Hua'er's head: "Look at her, she will burst into tears of gratitude if you give her a mouthful of food."
Xian Chan looked at Hua'er in horror, worried that his rebellion would harm her and her waist would collapse, thinking that her fate was over and she could not harm Hua'er. However, Hua'er plopped down on her knees and shouted: "Thank you for the meal! I will follow you loyally."
Bai Qiling glanced at her, ordered her to stand beside him, and threw her a piece of snack to reward her: "Eat."
Hua'er picked up the snack and ate it. She had never eaten such sweet and soft stuff before, but she didn't know the taste at this moment. She just swallowed a piece and pretended to cry with gratitude: "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." She bent down and bowed. Another click. Bai Qiling rewarded her with another piece. She had already brought it to her mouth, but her hand went down, pulled out a piece of coarse cotton handkerchief from her waist, carefully wrapped the snack, and said sadly: "There is an old woman who is hungry at home." . To be rewarded with a meal by the master today must be a blessing accumulated in the past life."
Hua'er was discerning. Everyone wanted Bai Qiling to bow down, but they only dared to tinker behind his back. No one dared to openly challenge her on the stage. She just wanted to retreat from this murderous table with Xian Chan, and she could bend or stretch and act foolish or stupid without feeling aggrieved.
Bai Qiling pointed at the plate of snacks in front of him: "Where do you think this is? Are these plates of snacks going to be stuffed into handkerchiefs and taken away? Does Mr. Wang need this little thing?"
"Of course it's not bad." Mr. Wang glanced at Bai Qiling, turned around and ordered the eldest girl to get the food box and put the snacks on the table. Bai Qiling said coldly: "Even the dogs in my Bai Mansion won't eat the leftovers. "
You are the dog. Hua'er scolded him in her mind, but then she thought that he was not lying. The wild cats outside the Bai Mansion had dried fish to eat.
"Put in some new ones, fill them up." Mr. Wang actually smiled.
"Why don't you thank Mr. Wang?" Bai Qiling said to Hua'er.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang."
The table was a little stiff for a moment, and someone spoke up, assuming the posture of an elder: "Second Young Master of the Bai family, maybe you have been away from home for a long time, and you are not familiar with me. According to your seniority, you still call me..."
"Shopkeeper Song, when will the Bai family's teahouse be returned?" Bai Qiling interrupted, turning to the man on the other side who was making small moves with Mr. Wang under the table: "I sent people to pay accounts three times, and today is the fourth time. "
Shopkeeper Song seemed to be in a dilemma: "Your elder brother entrusted me with this tea shop...ah!!" A stream of blood suddenly appeared in front of Shopkeeper Song, and he fell to the ground in pain while holding his own hands. The tables and chairs were in chaos during the banquet, and everyone jumped away. The girls who were originally serving were so frightened that they fell into a mess, covering their mouths and not daring to make a sound. The girl named Lingdang blocked the door and didn't allow anyone to go out.
Look at the table and there is a finger of Mr. Song, and a short knife is embedded in the Eight Immortals table.
Bai Qiling cut off one of Shopkeeper Song's fingers without any warning. Hua'er's heart was about to jump out of her chest. She pinched her clothes and took a step back. Looking up at Xianchan, they were both frightened and clutched the corners of their clothes tightly. Hua'er's sallow face turned pale with fear. Wouldn't this madman in front of him massacre the entire house?
Bai Qiling's face did not change, he stood up and drew his sword, grabbed Hua'er who was trying to escape, pulled out her worn handkerchief from her waist under her stunned gaze, and carefully wiped the blood on the knife.
"Bai Lao Er!!" Mr. Wang stood leaning against the wall, pointing at Bai Qiling and scolding: "What are you talking about! You have only returned to Yanzhuo City for a few days and you are making such a big fuss! Hurry! Call the doctor! Report to the official!"
Bai Qiling did not respond to him, but looked at Shopkeeper Song: "Send the account book to my house no later than the second update today. One day later, I will order someone to cut off one of your fingers."
Big beads of sweat fell from Shopkeeper Song's forehead, and he almost fainted from the pain. He gritted his teeth and replied: "Dream! See you at the Yamen! Nothing can be done today!"
"That's best." Bai Qiling sat back and stuffed the bloody handkerchief back into Hua'er's waist. She resisted and put his hand back on the knife handle. Hua'er thought to herself: No! He quickly stuffed the bloody veil into his waist. The fresh smell of blood rushed into her mouth and nose. She turned around, pushed open the window, and spit out the window.
