After saying this, Shopkeeper Yu took out a few greasy pieces of silver from his bib and stuffed them into Lin Qing's basket without saying a word.

"Madam, I'm really incompetent. I can't do anything except cooking. I don't have any connections in Anping Town, so I really can't help you. You can use this money as you like or as a reward. Just consider it a small token of my appreciation."

Lin Qing refused several times but to no avail, and finally had to accept it reluctantly.

Before leaving, she quietly stuffed it into Yu Jia's washbasin and quickly slipped away.

Yu Jia is a poor man, and I would feel guilty if I took his money.

What's more, she is not short of money at all now.

After saying goodbye to Yu Jia, Lin Qing hurriedly walked towards the alley.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the alley was eerily quiet today.

When she reached the door of her house, she was shivering with cold.

After hesitating for a moment, she rang the doorknob and deliberately said in a loud voice, "Good boy, it's mother who's back. Please open the door."

The bone-chilling chill suddenly receded, and the door slowly opened from the inside. Someone whispered, "Come in."

Lin Qing squeezed in through the crack of the door like a thief. Before he could stand firmly, he heard a bang behind him and the door closed again.

Lin Qing was startled by surprise. When he looked up, he saw a handsome and elegant young man standing in front of him. The knife in his hand was slightly unsheathed, and his eyes swept over him coldly.

He glanced up and down at Lin Qing several times, as if to confirm her identity.

After confirming it, the young man sheathed his knife and forced a kind smile.

Lin Qing was so frightened that he almost ran away.

The young man said in a loud voice: "I haven't thanked the madam for saving my life yet."

Lin Qing was so shocked that he was speechless.

WTF?

The handsome boy in front of me is actually the man who was injured that day?!

She really didn't expect that the muscular and sloppy guy turned out to be a teenager of seventeen or eighteen years old after washing himself.

He is still a spirited and handsome young man.

Looking at his star-like eyebrows, sharp eyes, deep eye sockets and straight nose, he doesn't look like a person from the Central Plains.

Moreover, there seemed to be an elusive sinisterness between his facial features, and one could feel a chill as soon as one got a little closer.

But the boy's clothes were really strange.

This should be a style from a ready-made clothing store. The moon-white clothes are stretched out on the boy with a large frame and some muscles. Not only is the length inappropriate, but it is also very loose and not form-fitting.

The boy obviously didn't care and walked around the street in his clothes.

Because in his other hand he was holding a bag of candied fruit and a few apples.

Lin Qing sniffed the tip of his nose, smelling a faint scent of blood. He couldn't help but frown and scolded, "Are you feeling well? How dare you go out like this?"

The young man did a few warm-up exercises, indicating that he was well. Seeing that Lin Qing was still looking at him without blinking, he suddenly had an idea and clumsily praised:

"Madam's golden medicine is very effective."

"..."

Who asked you to compliment this!

Lin Qing followed him inside and lowered her voice, "That's not the important thing. You were seriously injured that day, so I guess your enemies are pretty powerful. If that's the case, how dare you go out with a knife?"

The boy paused.

Lin Qing said, half concerned, half reproachfully, "What if they come after us again? You can certainly protect yourself, but what if they can't defeat you and take out their anger on the people around them? Wouldn't they suffer this undeserved disaster in vain?"

The boy obviously didn't expect this and just stood there in a daze.
