Chapter 130 False Alarm
"Tia..." Qin Mian noticed Lei Tia's frown and came to a realization. He quickly returned to his side, blocking his path, and separating the crowd.
When Lei Tia saw that a woman was pushed over here, and directly falling towards Qin Mian, the Spirit Qi on his body sunk, and a bone-piercing coldness arose out of nowhere.
The surrounding people all shuddered for some unknown reason, unconsciously distancing themselves from the source of the danger.
"Are you alright?" Lei Tia did not like the crowd, so it was boring for him to walk by himself. He felt it would be better not to walk around, so he showed a bit of hesitation on his face.
"I'm fine." Lei Tia saw through his thoughts and changed the topic, "My wife, what did you call me to do?"
"There are people pinching the mud over there." Qin Mian held his hand and looked at him with a smile, "Is this better?"
Lei Tia held his hand tightly, "Mn. Aren't you going to pinch him? "
"Follow me." Qin Mian excitedly pulled him over to the mud-pinching man's stall, and watched in fascination as a lump of mud turned into a lively and lifelike child in the hands of the old man, his face full of an inconceivable expression. He had only seen the craftsmanship of the Muddler on television before, and it was indeed extraordinary.
Once the child's clay figure was properly pinched, he spoke up first, "Boss, pinch me and him."
"No problem." The old man's gaze swept over the two of them and landed on their clasped hands. He was a bit surprised, but his expression did not change as he chuckled, "Gongzi, please wait a moment."
He tore a small piece from a large lump of mud in the bucket. His ten fingers played the zither as he skillfully and quickly changed the motion. The lifeless mud gradually morphed, and in half a moment, two clay figures holding hands appeared in his hands, looking exactly the same as Qin Mian and Lei Tia. Even Lei Tia's gentle eyes were molded, as if he was given life.
Qin Mian carefully took it, and exclaimed: "The elder's cooking is good!"
"Hehe, little gongzi, you're too kind. It's good that you like it." The old man was kind.
Lei Tia was also shocked by the similarity between the clay figurines and himself. He asked: "Is there a box?"
"Ah, yes." The old man took out a wooden box that was about the same size as the table. After Qin Mian placed the clay figurine inside, he closed the lid and handed the wooden box over to him.
Qin Mian hugged the box happily, his mind couldn't help but recall the look on Lei Tia's face when he was young, and secretly rejoice there himself.
Lei Tia took out a silver ingot from his bag and placed it on the table in front of the old man, not caring if it was a tael of silver or a tael of silver.
"Huh?" The old man picked up the silver ingot in shock. "Two gongzis, 20 gold coins is enough. This is too much ??"
Before he could finish his words, the two men had already walked far away, and were soon blocked by the crowd. The man's face was slightly tilted, and he lowered his head to look at the youth beside him.
Qin Mian saw the barbeque stall in front of him and rubbed his stomach, "I'm a little hungry. Tia, go eat barbecue. "
"Alright."
Qin Mian looked behind him and was shocked, "Lei Qinle, how come it's only the three of you left?"
Lei Qinzhong hurriedly said, "Young Master, we noticed that Lei Qin Li and Lei Qin Xin had disappeared a long time ago. We were afraid that it would ruin your mood, so we didn't say anything. But Young Master can be at ease, I told them right after we came out that I wanted them to remember the way out. If you can't find the way, just wait at the door of Hongfu I
. "
As the boss of the nine family generals, Lei Qinzhong was both careful and steady. Qin Mian was very assured with him and nodded, "Let's go and eat something first. Pack a copy for Lei Qin Li and Lei Qin Xin later. "
"Yes."
They followed the stream of people to the barbecue stand. At that moment, someone cried out in alarm, "Fire! Fire!"
The sound was like a underwater current that surged out of the sea without any warning, causing the crowd to surge as women's cries of alarm and children's wails rose and fell one after another. People were flustered and crowded in different directions, and the scene became even more chaotic as several currents were squeezed together.
A child fell in front of Qin Mian, and seeing that he was about to be stepped on by an adult, Qin Mian took two steps forward and helped the child up.
The father hugged the child tightly and thanked Qin Mian profusely.
Qin Mian turned his head to look, but was stu
ed. What about his family?
A frightened man ran past him and stepped on his foot. Qin Mian cried out in pain. He knew that he couldn't panic now and could only move forward with the crowd, squeezing through the crowd whenever he saw an opening. After walking for a while, he finally managed to squeeze through. He jumped onto the rooftop, his eyes searching through the crowd for Lei Tia's figure, holding onto the wooden box that held the Mud Man tightly.
Before he could even react, the passersby on the left were pushed by a huge force. Seven or eight people fell in a ball in front of him, and by the time he dodged them, Qin Mian had already disappeared from their sight. He felt as if someone had hollowed out his chest, it was empty, the possibility of him losing Qin Mian made him lose his mind, he rudely pushed the people who were obstructing him, and anxiously searched through the crowd, "Wifey! Qin Mian! "
Qin Mian stood at a high place, he could see very far, and after a while, he noticed Lei Tia's figure. Looking at his blank and desperate expression, his heart felt like it was being slashed by a knife.
"Tia! Tia! I am here! " Qin Mian shouted as he waved his hand.
On the second floor of a restaurant on the side of the street, Nie Heng was standing by the railing, patting the head of the girl beside him, and said with relief: "See that? "Fortunately, I didn't listen to you and went downstairs for a stroll."
At that moment, he heard a familiar voice. He raised his head and looked across the street.
Lei Tia's hearing was stronger than most people, upon hearing Qin Mian's voice, he turned his head, his pupils contracted and his lips moved slightly. He then leaped up, and with a flash, he appeared in front of Qin Mian.
Nie Heng who was in the tavern was shocked. Such a fast movement technique, Lei Tia's martial arts had simply reached a superb level!
Qin Mian didn't even have time to say a single word before he was carried into Lei Tia's embrace, his waist tightly wrapped in a pair of iron arms, as if wanting to break him.
"Wife ??" Don't leave me. "
The man's body couldn't help but tremble. Qin Mian's eyes couldn't help but feel a little sore, so he hugged the man's waist tightly. His right hand lightly patted the man's back, and he kept comforting him, "It's okay, it's okay. "Idiot, I won't leave you."
After all, Lei Tia's heart was tough, and he quickly calmed down. The arm around Qin Mian's waist still did not loosen.
Qin Mian leaned onto his chest, and listened to his rapid heartbeat slowly recovering to its steady state. His heart was filled with waves of pain, and his heart, which was towards another man, churned and churned like a tide in his chest. He absolutely did not want to see Lei Tia's blank and desperate expression a second time. He looked up at the man. "Idiot! Have you forgotten that you have a cultivation base? Did you forget that we could meet at the Old Place? "
Lei Tia knew that he had made his wife's heart ache, and allowed him to reprimand his without saying a word.
Seeing him in such a state, Qin Mian's heart tensed up again. How could she bear to continue speaking? She raised her hand to gently caress his face and then held it out in front of him.
Lei Tia clenched his fists tightly.
The government quickly intervened in the chaos on the streets. The people dispersed and the streets gradually calmed down. The fire in the distance had also been extinguished, but not a great disaster. However, there were still quite a number of people who were stepped on and squeezed out, being carried to the infirmary for medical treatment.
Only now did Qin Mian and Lei Tia jump down from the rooftop.
Nie Heng, the young lady and Nie Heng's follower, Chun Sheng, quickly came out of the restaurant and stopped the two people who were about to leave.
"Qin Mian, Boss Lei."
"Nie Heng? "What a coincidence." Qin Mian was also very happy to meet an old friend from his hometown.
"Yeah. "Have you forgotten that I told you that the main clan of the Nie clan is in the capital?" Nie Heng sighed as he looked at him and Lei Tia. He had clearly seen that scene from the second floor. When he had signed the contract for the secret recipe of the vegetables, if Lei Tia had pressed the seal on his behalf, Nie Heng would definitely request for Qin Mian's hand seal to be added. This was because he had never believed that there would be any serious feelings between the two men, nor did he believe that the feelings between the two men would last for a long time. But tonight, he had to admit, he was wrong. He was even quite envious of Qin Mian and Lei Tia, who were wholeheartedly thinking of each other. He wondered if he would meet a true lover in the future.
"I remember, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence." Qin Mian said.
"Big brother, who are these two gongzis?" The girl's shy voice sounded as her gaze swept across Qin Mian and his face. She was a little entranced, and noticed that Lei Tia's other face had a scar on it, causing her gaze to finally fall on him. Her beautiful face was dyed red. Not only was this young gentleman dressed in expensive clothes, he was also extraordinarily handsome, even surpassing her elder brother.
Lei Tia's breath was cold and heavy.
Nie Heng noticed the look in his sister's eyes and immediately said vigilantly: "Qin Mian, Boss Lei, let me introduce you two to my sister. Little sister, these two are Zhaoyang County's Boss Lei and his wife Boss Qin. "
"Madame?" The young girl's almond-shaped eyes stared wide open. She lightly snorted and her gaze turned cold.
Qin Mian glanced at Nie Heng speechlessly. He was grateful that Nie Heng helped him get rid of the peach blossom, but there was no need to call him Lei Tia's "wife". How could Nie Heng be so sure that he was Lei Tia's wife and not Lei Tia's wife?
Nie Heng helplessly spread his hands. Otherwise, how could he introduce them?
"Just call me by my name." Lei Tia said to Nie Heng.
Nie Heng revealed a smile, "Okay. Qin Mian, Lei Tia, since we met by fate, it is natural for me to be the host. How about finding a place to sit? "
Qin Mian regretfully said: "I'm afraid we can't today. When we came out, we even brought five of our followers, so they might still be looking for us. How about tomorrow? "
Nie Heng nodded: "Okay, it's a deal. I just happen to have some serious matters to discuss with you, but I'm in no hurry. "
The three of them agreed to meet at the Seven Blessings Restaurant at noon the next day and then parted ways.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia walked back the way they came from, meeting the five followers that were looking for them.
Both sides returned to the barbecue booth.
After eating their fill, Qin Mian and Lei Tia were no longer in the mood to stroll around.
Once he entered the room, Lei Tia lifted Qin Mian up horizontally and pressed him down on the bed.
Tonight, both of their emotions fluctuated greatly. They needed to suppress their shock, so they quickly rolled over and spent the night together.
In the afternoon of the next day, Qin Mian and Lei Tia came to the Seven Blessed Restaurant to meet with Nie Heng. Nie Heng enthusiastically and thoughtfully treated them to a sumptuous lunch.
What Nie Heng wanted to say was, that a few groups of people who tried to go to the Zhaoyang County to find rare vegetables, were all stopped by Mu Chen's men. Three days ago, Mu Chen had already released the news of the Seasonal Vegetable Recipe. In the future, no one would cause trouble for Qin Mian and Qin Mian because of this matter.
Qin Mian thanked him and asked him to convey their gratitude to Mu Chen.
"No need for thanks. If your family still has ca
ed peaches, you can give me a few." My grandmother especially likes to eat. " Nie Heng said half-jokingly.
Qin Mian laughed: "You're lucky, we actually brought two ca
ed peaches this time. Originally, we wanted to keep them for ourselves to eat. We haven't even opened it yet. Come with us in a while and bring it back. " Lei Qinle and the others did not know what was inside the horse carriage, they could just find an opportunity to bring out two from the spatial storage.
Nie Heng cupped his hands: "Then, I won't be courteous."
After eating, Nie Heng left with them.
Qin Mian gifted two ca
ed peaches to him and said his goodbyes at the same time.
After returning home, Qin Mian and Lei Tia were about to enter a new year of work.
