Chapter 44 Notorious Fierce
But Zheng Xiaxia still felt sorry for doing that to her elders. She felt that with her character, she would never do such a thing.

As soon as Qi Mingzhi finished speaking, Zheng Xiaxia shook his head: "Let's talk about it when the time comes, don't worry."

She turned her head to look at Qi Mingzhi again: "Qi Mingzhi, are you angry?"

Her words were inexplicable, as if she hadn't expected Zheng Xiaxia to say this, Qi Mingzhi's eyes were a little more strange and incomprehensible: "Why would I be angry?"

Seeing that Qi Mingzhi really didn't seem to be angry, Zheng Xiaxia was immediately relieved.

Qi Mingzhi really didn't understand why Zheng Xiaxia would inexplicably ask herself if she was angry, and after she asked back, she looked relieved again.

Qi Mingzhi didn't ask further questions.

He could probably guess that Zheng Xiaxia's appearance must have something to do with Uncle Qi.

He understood that Zheng Xiaxia didn't want the relationship between himself and Uncle Qi to be stiff, the more he thought about it, the heavier Qi Mingzhi's heart became.

He held Zheng Xiaxia's arm, and Qi Mingzhi said sternly, "Xiaxia, thank you very much."

Being stared at by him like this, Zheng Xiaxia scratched the back of her head in embarrassment: "There is nothing to thank or not..."

The reason why he didn't want Qi Mingzhi and Uncle Qi to quarrel was because of Zheng Xiaxia's selfishness.

She sighed leisurely. Compared with everyone arguing, Zheng Xiaxia still hopes that everyone can be together harmoniously.

As for this side, as soon as old Zhang Tou escaped from Dahe Village, he couldn't wait to rush back home.

But after searching around the house over and over again, Lao Zhangtou didn't see his wife.

His brows furrowed.

The old Zhangtou couldn't wait to push open the door of the house next door.

Pangzi and Lao Zhangtou are notoriously fierce in this neighborhood, and the neighbors are particularly afraid of them.

So when the old Zhangtou opened the door and broke in, the neighbor immediately took a step back and looked at the old Zhangtou with fear.

"You...what are you doing?"

At this moment, the old Zhangtou was only thinking about his old wife, he was too lazy to quarrel with his neighbors, and instead asked, "Have you seen Ponzi?"

When Ponzi was mentioned suddenly, the neighbor's brows frowned.

Probably because he didn't know where to start, the neighbor could only stand where he was, keeping silent.

The silence of the neighbor made the old man feel weird, and he was also uneasy: "Where did Ponzi go?"

After hesitating for a while, he knew that if he didn't hurry up and answer quickly, the old man might keep asking.

So as soon as he said this, the neighbor took a deep breath: "I didn't see your old lady, you should ask someone else, and don't come here to disturb us again."

Seeing the indifference of the neighbor in front of him, the old Zhangtou only felt very angry in his heart.

He took a deep breath and forcibly resisted the urge to punch his neighbor. After all, he wanted something from others, so the old man could only lower his attitude as much as possible.

"I'll ask you one last time, have you seen my old lady? Tell me the truth!"

Old Zhangtou's vicious look really scared the neighbors half to death. Knowing that he could not offend the person in front of him, he simply closed his eyes: "You let me think about it."

After saying this, the neighbor racked his brains and finally slapped his head: "It seems that Ponzi was taken away two days ago!"

"Who was it taken away?" Old Zhang's frown became more and more severe, and his mood was also uneasy for a while, "Quickly answer my question! Who was it taken away by!"

The old Zhangtou had a vicious attitude, and the neighbors were very unconvinced, but they had to answer the old Zhangtou's question.

"It seems to be taken away by a group of people dressed as officers and soldiers."

She also remembered that when Zheng Xiaxia brought her back before, she and Qi Mingzhi discussed sending herself to the Yamen.

But because he didn't have time, he never found an opportunity to send him to the Yamen, and heard from the neighbor that Pangzi was taken away by a group of people dressed as officers and soldiers. Old Zhangtou understood what was going on, The expression on his face became more and more cold.

Thinking of Qi Mingzhi and Zheng Xiaxia, Lao Zhang clenched his fists tightly, wishing to crush them directly.

Zheng Xiaxia sneezed, and Qi Mingzhi looked over worriedly.

"Xia Xia, are you okay? Did you catch a cold?"

Qi Mingzhi's caring voice rang in her ears, Zheng Xiaxia shook her head, and she continued to process the potatoes in her hand: "You don't have a cold, you don't have to worry about me, Aunt Liu sent too many potatoes, we must hurry up and wash these potatoes Clean it up and put it in the cellar for storage."

Looking at Zheng Xiaxia's busy figure, Qi Mingzhi was still worried, he simply walked into the room, took out a cloak and put it on Zheng Xiaxia, Zheng Xiaxia looked up at him in surprise.

"I said it's okay, you don't need to take the cloak."

Qi Mingzhi just shook his head: "It's okay, don't wash it, I'll do the rest, you go to the house and rest."

As he spoke, Qi Mingzhi squatted down to help wash the potatoes together, but he noticed that Zheng Xiaxia was motionless at the side, and Qi Mingzhi's thick black eyebrows brushed and frowned.

Not understanding why Zheng Xiaxia didn't respond, and thinking that she hadn't heard what he said just now, Qi Mingzhi couldn't help urging: "Xiaxia, get up quickly, I'll take care of it here."

But Zheng Xiaxia shook her head, her attitude was particularly firm: "Qi Mingzhi, I can do it by myself, you go in."

After finishing speaking, Zheng Xiaxia glanced at the thinly dressed Qi Mingzhi again: "You are a scholar, and you still need to keep your hands for writing. You must not be damaged by cold water. I am used to washing them."

Hearing these words from Zheng Xiaxia's mouth, Qi Mingzhi couldn't help but look at Zheng Xiaxia's slender fingers, and found that she had some chilblains on her hands at some point, Qi Mingzhi was so distressed that he didn't want to.

He has been busy during this time, Qi Mingzhi didn't have extra time to pay special attention to Zheng Xiaxia, so naturally he didn't notice the frostbite on Zheng Xiaxia's hands, but he saw the frostbite today.

Qi Ming felt extremely guilty.

He took Zheng Xiaxia's hand, and Qi Mingzhi heard his guilty voice rang beside his ears: "Xiaxia, I'm the one who failed you."

But when Zheng Xiaxia heard this, she just shook her head. She felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and Zheng Xiaxia also didn't think that Qi Mingzhi had done anything wrong.

So as soon as his words fell, Zheng Xiaxia immediately raised the corners of his lips.
