"Ahem!"
"It's too cold. Can't I go out to enjoy the cool weather?"
Hua Xi covered her mouth and was holding back to the limit, while Jiao Yue burst into laughter without concealment.
The two of them were already laughing like police officers in their minds, but it didn't show up at all on Huaxi's face.
Huaxi knew that this man was thin-skinned. If he laughed, then it would be fine. This man would ignore anyone for half a month.
"Okay, okay, then I'm going to go out and play."
"Don't follow me~"
Hua Xi added humbly, glancing at him just in time to see the man's figure pause, and he suddenly froze as he tried to move forward.
"cut!"
"I'm not following you, I'm just too hot!"
After saying that, Hua Shiqing rolled up her sleeves and ran away with a long stride. Hua Xi shook her head and sighed fondly.
"Why is this boy so whiny?"
Then he followed Hua Shiqing to see what this man was doing recently.
"Why are you following me?!"
"Aren't you going to play?"
Hua Shiqing's face turned red with anger, but apparently he didn't know it and was still pretending to be calm.
"I can go wherever I like to play,"
"Leave me alone?"
Hua Xi smirked and followed Hua Shiqing in a vulgar and greasy manner, as if he was a slut.
Hua Shiqing waved her sleeves and walked away, feeling more and more aggrieved. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became. She didn't even understand why she looked like this strange person.
Just when Hua Shiqing was distracted, a puppy ran out from under his feet, with numerous scars on his body.
Hua Shiqing accidentally tripped over the little puppy's leg.
At this time, Hua Shiqing's exclamation and the puppy's barking were mixed together, and the situation of one person and one dog was tragic.
"Ouch!"
"Woof woof woof!!"
Hua Xi didn't care about teasing Hua Shiqing at this moment, and hurried over to help the idiot Hua Shiqing up.
At the same time, Hua Shiqing's scheming, gloomy and terrifying image instantly collapsed in Hua Xi's heart.
This is clearly a cute big man like a big golden retriever dog!
"Get up quickly, this puppy seems to be injured."
Hua Shiqing had just been helped up, and when she heard Hua Xi blurting out her words of concern for the puppy, but she was ignored, her face turned so dark that she could drip ink.
"No, I mean this little puppy tripped you because he was hurt."
"Quick, I'll help you, you hold the puppy, let's go back and take a look."
A warm scene appeared in the sunshine. Hua Xi supported Hua Shiqing, and Hua Shiqing held the dog in her arms.
The "family of three" rushed home happily.
After returning to their small courtyard on the top of the mountain, Huaxi felt a little uneasy.
The negotiation process with Shen Wenfeng just now was not pleasant. Huaxi, who originally wanted to win over Shen Wenfeng, is now confused.
"What's wrong?"
"He is hanging his head and looking unhappy. Did Shen Wenfeng reject you?"
Although Hua Shiqing chose to forget her previous unhappiness, the thought of Hua Xi going to Shen Wenfeng still made her teeth itch.
"No, that's what happened."
Hua Xi told Hua Shiqing one by one the reasons why Shen Wenfeng went to Qunxiong Mountain and Shen Wenfeng's life experience.
He also revealed that he had already sent a letter to Hua Chao and wanted to win over Shen Wenfeng.
"I didn't expect that Shen Wenfeng would have such a great talent. If he could be accepted into the imperial court, he would definitely create a huge storm!"
"You did the right thing, Huaxi."
Huaxi's eyes, which were still bright when she was telling the story, suddenly dimmed. Huaxi told Hua Shiqing what happened in Shen Wenfeng's room just now.
Hua Shiqing's originally depressed heart suddenly became enlightened. When she learned that Hua Xi had been so close to Shen Wenfeng these days just to win over Shen Wenfeng, the depression in her heart was swept away!
"Do you think Shen Wenfeng has changed his mind?"
"Think about it, how can an official give him the freedom to be a thief?"
"Being a big brother on this mountain, calling the wind and rain, is like a local emperor."
The more Hua Xi talked, the more excited he became, as if he was the one who became the boss of the Heroes Mountain.
But halfway through, he was interrupted by Hua Shiqing, who said he didn't think so.
"This matter is a knot in Shen Wenfeng's heart. Don't forget that Shen Wenfeng has a good family tradition since he was a child."
"He comes from a scholarly and well-known family and has a noble demeanor. Such a gentleman's behavior must make it difficult for him to be such a gangster!"
Huaxi's cheerful tone paused. Under Hua Shiqing's explanation, Huaxi seemed to understand the depression and sourness in Shen Wenfeng's heart.
"Although the leader of Qunxiong Mountain is powerful, one day he will be surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court."
"Although freedom is like the wind now, the Shen family's reputation has been completely ruined since then!"
"A hundred years later, Shen Wenfeng's heir will still have the reputation of being a rebellious official and a traitor!"
The more Huaxi listened, the more desolate she felt. Perhaps it was because Shen Wenfeng was usually sunny and cheerful, so few people paid attention to Shen Wenfeng's heart.
The two of them looked at each other and understood why Shen Wenfeng would expel Hua Xi out of the house when it came to becoming an official.
This is because Shen Wenfeng was disappointed with the current court because his grievances could not be washed away.
And because the brothers on the mountain are all thieves, how could the recruitment be so smooth?
It would be more logical to capture it in one fell swoop, fearing that the imperial court had not caught him by surprise!
"It's okay, just take your time,"
"As long as Shen Wenfeng is willing to untie his knot, this matter will be easy to handle."
Hua Shiqing comforted Hua Xi. The two had been here for several days, and the establishment of Ele.me had been completed.
So Hua Shiqing wanted to take Hua Xi to Wuzhou Mansion. After all, there was still a "major crisis" waiting for them.
*
Shen Wenfeng hid in the yard and was depressed all day long, just because of what Hua Xi asked a few days ago.
He is different from the bandits who were born and raised in this village. His family background is special and he is one of the most famous families in the town.
How could a son of a noble family end up living in a bandit den?
These days in the mountains are a bit freer, but every time I toss and turn late at night, the bitterness in my heart always wells up in my heart.
Melancholy shrouded Shen Wenfeng's heart, but as the leader of a group of heroes, he should also shoulder this responsibility.
So now Shen Wenfeng not only doesn't want to leave, but also can't leave.
Hua Xi's proposal of cooperation made Shen Wenfeng excited. But if Shen Wenfeng became an official, how would he explain to these brothers?
For thieves like them who have already committed crimes on their hands, recruitment is a road to death.
So Shen Wenfeng has been hiding in the house these days, thinking about this matter over and over again.
Just as he was meditating and feeling depressed, he received a report from his brothers, saying that Hua Xi and Hua Shiqing had now gone down the mountain.
Shen Wenfeng stood up in panic. When he arrived at Huaxi and Hua Shiqing's yard, they were already far away.
Shen Wenfeng looked at Huaxi and Hua Shiqing's yard and fell into deep thought.
Finally, after standing in the yard for a long time, he sighed deeply, and then returned to his previous state, as if the inner struggle of the past few days had never existed.
