Chi Yunyan slowly recounted how he woke up and found supplies missing, and then saw the bodies of his parents in the master bedroom. He lowered his head in frustration: "The police said they were killed by thieves."
Chi Thief Yue didn’t know what to say.
When Wen Qizhou saw that she couldn't continue the performance, he showed a regretful expression in time and put his hand on Chi Yunyan's shoulder to comfort him.
He changed the subject without leaving a trace, asked him and Chi Anying about their situation in the past year, and stopped mentioning Chi Hongmin and his wife.
After a brief chat, he gently told Chi Yunyan to have a good rest, then took Chi Yue's hand and walked out of the bedroom.
"Sister Yue." Since becoming familiar with them, Xunsong no longer calls them "good people."
He looked at the west wing and blinked his round eyes twice: "Is that good man just now your brother?"
"That's right."
"Then you are so destined."
Chi Yue chuckled: "Yeah." She bent down and sat in front of the stone table, took out two lollipops from her pocket and gave them to him and Yun Qi.
She would give them candy from time to time.
Xunsong is always a joy.
Yunqi evolved from "Don't treat me like a child" to calmly tearing off the icing, putting it in his mouth and saying "it's so sweet".
"Yueyue, I want to eat it too." Wen Yaxian would occasionally join in the fun and ask her for one to relive the taste of her childhood.
Chi Yue simply gave them one pill each.
She looked at the chessboard on the table and saw that Mingzhang and Yan Shuo could not tell the winner, and she lost interest in chatting with them.
After Chi Yunyan came out from his sleep, Xie Changxiao asked about the situation outside: "Is there plague in the city you passed through?"
He knew Chi Yunyan.
Although there is little contact with him, it can be seen from the other party's words and eyes that he has no ill intentions, so he is very friendly.
Chi Yunyan: "Yes." He took the tea from Xunsong, thanked him and said, "Yuancheng has done a good job in controlling the plague, but many people infected with the plague have not been able to survive."
"Are there many deaths?"
"As of yesterday, it seemed that there were twenty-one." He was referring to the official data: "There are still thirty people in isolation."
After they talked about the situation in Yuancheng and the two surrounding cities, Wen Qizhou realized that Chi Yunyan didn't recognize the people present, so he immediately introduced them to him to make it easier for him to address them.
Knowing that Mingming was the guanzong, Chi Yunyan was about to ask how much supplies he would pay for temporary accommodation when a female voice suddenly came from the west wing.
Hearing Chi Anying calling him, he said hello to Chi Yue, put down his tea cup, and hurried away following the voice.
"Qizhou, let's go for a walk?" Chi Yue didn't want to sit for a long time. Seeing that the weather was perfect, she wanted to take a walk with him.
Hearing Qizhou stood up: "Okay."
They slowed down their pace and walked in the direction where the warm sun poured down, feeling the wind blowing from all sides.
The two overlapping reflections on the bluestone were slowly elongated by a ray of light. He rubbed Chi Yue's slender fingertips and said calmly: "They should stay."
"I know." With their injuries, it would take at least a week to recover. In addition, the Taoist temple is indeed a rare and safe sanctuary, so it is normal for them to stay.
Chi Yue faced the breeze: "If they want to stay, they can stay. Then just let Master Ming collect some supplies."
The Taoist temple does not belong to them. As long as they can get supplies, Master Ming will be happy to let them stay temporarily.
Wen Qizhou had the same idea as her.
But he was more concerned about the "after" issues.
"What happens after that?" He tilted his head and stared at her profile gently: "If they want to go north with you, will you agree?"
"There are no ifs." She paused for two seconds and said with a very firm tone: "Chi Anying will never ask to go with me."
"She hates you?"
The person Wen Qizhou heard from her the most before was Chi Yunyan. He really didn't know much about Chi Anying.
Due to the tense relationship between her and that family, he never took the initiative to mention it, for fear of touching her sadness.
