C294 A Helping Hand
Du Qi said without hesitation, "It is fate that we can meet again here. Since the food and accommodation of the two masters have become a problem, I will naturally repay the kindness of the two masters for their meal. However, I do not dare to hope that the two masters will return the favor! "
After saying this, Du Qi turned to the inn assistant who was still breathing heavily and called out, "Attendant, put these two lords' bags in. Settle down in the two upper rooms and wait for us to use them earlier with the two lords before we settle the bill for your room. Don't worry, you won't be short of half a body! "
While they were talking, the same story was repeated in front of another inn that was only a few zhang away from them. However, there was a person who was chased out by the staff of the inn, and that person wasn't as lucky as Yao Huilu and Hao Liping. No one came forward to help, so that person could only pick up his bag dejectedly. He patted the dust off the bag and hung it on his shoulder. When he looked around, he happened to see Du Qi helping Yao and Hao. A smile suddenly appeared on that person's face. He walked straight to Du Qi and said with a smile, "This young master is a benevolent and righteous man. One look and you can tell that he is a great hero. Since young master is willing to help these two bailiffs, I think he won't leave me, a weak girl who has nowhere to run, to die. I wonder if young master can treat me to breakfast? "
Du Qi and the others looked towards the source of the sound and saw a dark faced man speaking. She was tall and was about the same age as them. She was wearing black pants. As she smiled and laughed, she would occasionally reveal a mouthful of clean silver teeth, which formed a strong contrast with her rough and dark facial skin. A dark black belt made of unknown materials was tied around her waist, which strongly highlighted the fact that her waist was as thin as a willow. Invisibly, it made her tall and slender figure appear even more slender. She stood there quietly, her entire body curvaceous from top to bottom. It was an exaggeration. It was as if she was displaying an exquisite and beautiful curve, giving people a kind of incomparably beautiful and strange feeling.
When Du Qi saw that the person who came to ask for help was a single girl, he wanted to immediately refuse. However, thinking about the predicament of not having a place to eat and a place to stay outside and having no money, it was truly unbearable. If that girl wasn't forced to do so, he also saw that the young girl's belt had a colorful glow flowing around it. With a rough look, he could tell that it wasn't an ordinary item. Suddenly, his heart couldn't help but move. She smiled and said, "As long as Lady is willing, don't say that it's just a breakfast. Even if it's ten or a hundred meals, or even hundreds or thousands of breakfast, I can treat Lady to it! "
Some of the people nearby heard Du Qi's interesting words, and there was even that kind-hearted person who laughed and said, "That's good! Miss no longer need to worry about not having breakfast anymore, much less being chased out by others!"
The lady ignored the mocking words of others and said happily, "With so many people taken in by Young Master Xie, I will follow young master from now on, and I will no longer have to worry about three meals a day!"
Ma Yuxiao was frightened and wanted to find trouble with the shop assistant, but was unintentionally stopped by Du Qi. The anger in her heart had nowhere to be vented. At this moment, she saw an ugly and beautiful girl run out of nowhere. She did not say much and wanted to follow Du Qi directly. She could not help but stare at the woman fiercely. He said with great dissatisfaction, "You are a girl. You always say that you want to eat and drink with a strange man. Don't you have any shame at all? Aren't you afraid of being deceived? "
The woman sneered and said, "What does it have to do with you whether I have shame or not? When I meet a good person like you, I am willing to be deceived. Why, are you jealous of me? If you have the ability, go and curry favor with Young Master. What's the use of being jealous of others here? "
Ma Yuxiao glared angrily at the woman, but she did not seem to want to lower herself to her level and said," Lowly b * tch! You can actually say such words?"
The female still sneered and said, "Since you are already lowly by Young Master's side, why don't you think highly of yourself?"
Seeing that the woman actually did not hesitate to rob her, Ma Yuxiao could not help but become angry. She shouted, "You..."
Du Qi saw that the matter of the woman wanting to follow him had yet to come to fruition, so he quarreled with Ma Yuxiao. If they were allowed to continue quarreling, the unhappiness between the two would only grow deeper and deeper. If the girl really followed him in the future, wouldn't that mean that she would have to lead a pair of enemies to live a life? But he couldn't blame anyone, so he could only shout at that waiter, "Buddy, did you hear what I said?"
Du Qi's voice was loud, but it also contained some True Yuan. It sounded like a clap of thunder next to everyone's ears, and it was deliberately controlled by Du Qi. Ma Yuxiao and the girl were the first to be hit. Their ears were shaking and buzzing. For a moment, they could not help but be silent like cicadas in winter. Even Ma Yuxiao, who was angry, did not dare to say anything.
The shop assistant originally had no hope of taking back the rent and food money that Yao Huilu and Hao Liping owed. He saw that nearly a month of hard work was going to go to waste. There was not much money left to support a family. He was worried that his family's life next month would be difficult to continue. When he suddenly heard that Du Qi was willing to pay for their house, his heart was already bursting with joy. He had undoubtedly treated Du Qi as his great benefactor. Just as he was about to follow Du Qi's instructions and take back the package that he had thrown out from Yao Huilu's hands, he saw Ma Yuxiao and the woman's dispute and was attracted by their words for a moment. They had actually forgotten what they were going to do.
When the shop assistant heard Du Qi's thunderous shout, he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He hurriedly went forward and snatched the package from Yao Huilu's hands, then patted the dust on it as if he was trying to please him. He said respectfully, "Young Master, don't worry. I will go and clean up the room now. I will make sure that young master and the two masters are satisfied!" After he finished speaking, Fang Yuan bowed respectfully and returned to the inn, causing some of the guests and other workers who were gathered in the lobby of the inn to disperse.
Although there were also people watching from the streets and windows in the distance, there was no one nearby to watch. Perhaps it was because they saw that the situation had already calmed down, or perhaps they had already become accustomed to such things. When they saw Du Qi looking at them, they all pretended to look at him as if nothing had happened. They walked away one after another, or started doing the work in their hands once more. Du Qi did not seem to care about the reactions and feelings of these people. He called Yao Huilu and Hao Liping and said, "Masters, please! Let's go to the front and find a store to eat breakfast in!"
Hao Liping said happily, "Young Master, please! I do not dare to express my gratitude for Young Master Xie's help, but I, Hao Liping, will definitely remember this favor. I will never forget it!"
Yao Huilu saw that Hao Liping seemed to want to leave him and follow Du Qi, but he still stood where he was. He looked at the tip of his foot with a troubled look on his face, but in the end, he seemed to be afraid of poverty and suffering. He finally made up his mind. He suddenly looked up and fixed his eyes on Du Qi.
