After a moment of regret, Qi Ye became cheerful again. He looked at Jiujiu and began to discuss, "Shopkeeper, should we buy more vegetable seeds when we go back this time?"
That way, he could plant whatever he wanted to eat.
After Qi Ye finished speaking, he remembered that if they wanted to eat meat, they would have to go to the faraway market to buy it. He began to think about whether or not to raise more chickens. That way, they could eat meat whenever they wanted.
Jiujiu was stunned, "You want to go back with me?"
Qi Ye, who was planning what to prepare when they returned to the desert, heard Jiujiu's question. He immediately sat up from the stool and moved closer to Jiujiu, "Shopkeeper, what do you mean by that?"
The words' are you not going to take me back? 'were at the tip of his tongue, but Qi Ye forcefully swallowed them back down.
He didn't dare and didn't want to think that Jiujiu wasn't willing to take him back.
In the past year, he had long been used to staying by Jiujiu's side.
When he thought that his life might not have Jiujiu in the future, it was as if his heart had been pierced by a needle. It was extremely painful.
Qi Ye's face instantly turned white. His right hand uncontrollably covered his chest as he stared blankly at Jiujiu, "Shopkeeper, I feel terrible. Don't chase me away, okay?"
By the end of his sentence, he was already sobbing.
Jiujiu originally thought that Qi Ye would choose to return to the capital. She didn't expect that not only did Qi Ye not choose to return to the capital, he even begged her to take him to the desert.
Jiujiu looked at Qi Ye with a complicated expression and asked, "Your poison has been cured. You can do without me. Moreover, your master is in the capital. That is your home."
Jiujiu's words were clearly pushing him away.
Qi Ye grabbed Jiujiu's hand and said anxiously, "Shopkeeper, I don't want to leave you. Don't chase me away, okay?"
After Qi Ye finished speaking, he kneeled on the ground and shamelessly hugged Jiujiu's waist. He willfully said: "Shopkeeper, if you don't promise me, I won't leave."
He had already set his mind on Jiujiu. Unless Jiujiu beat him to death, he would not let go.
After washing the dishes, Bi You entered the hall and saw Qi Ye kneeling beside Jiujiu. She awkwardly turned around and left, leaving space and time for Jiujiu and Qi Ye.
Jiujiu lowered her head to look at Qi Ye who was certain she wouldn't do anything to him. She sighed and said: "If you want to go, then go."
Jiujiu thought that the temperature in the desert would be high in the morning and evening, and there was a serious shortage of water. Thinking about it, a pampered noble like Qi Ye would probably leave soon.
After receiving Jiujiu's agreement, Qi Ye quickly got up from the ground and excitedly went outside to prepare things for the desert.
After returning from the desert, she was anxious to detoxify Qi Ye. There were no worries on the way back. The three of them walked and stopped as if they were playing. After walking for more than three months, they finally arrived at the inn.
After more than a year, the small vegetables that Qi Ye had planted had long been destroyed.
Qi Ye looked regretfully at the vegetable garden that used to be filled with lush green vegetables. He secretly swore that once they settled down, he would plant new vegetables.
Qi Ye stepped forward and pushed open the door.
Not only was the inn not covered in dust as expected, it was unbelievably clean.
While Jiujiu and Qi Ye were puzzled, they heard a familiar and rough shout: "Miss Jiu, you're finally back."
After confirming that the person who came was Jiujiu and not one of those porters who wanted to drink like him, Yellow Beard almost burst into tears.
Only the heavens knew how much time had passed after he returned from across the desert and saw that the inn had already been emptied.
He originally thought that Jiujiu would be gone for at most one or two months. Who knew that she would be gone for more than a year.
Yellow Beard was spoiled by Jiujiu's wine. Although other people's wine wasn't bad, he still couldn't drink it.
After not drinking Jiujiu's wine for a year, Yellow Beard was like a dehydrated vegetable leaf. He was listless and didn't even have the heart to make money.
After thinking for a long time, Yellow Beard decided to stay in the inn and wait for Jiujiu to come back.
Even if Jiujiu couldn't immediately give him wine to drink, at least there was something to look forward to.
Seeing Yellow Beard's red eyes, Jiujiu's mouth twitched: "Brother Huang, why are you here?"
Yellow Beard raised his hand to wipe his wet eyes and said in a sad tone: "Isn't it because of you?"
Jiujiu: "Because of me?"
Yellow Beard nodded: "I'm used to drinking wine made by Miss Jiu. I don't like drinking other people's wine, so I stayed here and waited for you to come back. That's right, sister, where did you put the wine? Why can't I find it?"
He found it strange. He had even searched the rat hole, so why couldn't he find the wine? Jiujiu was usually very quick to serve the wine. Could it be that Jiujiu took the wine with her?
Jiujiu knew that Yellow Beard loved to drink, but she didn't think that Yellow Beard would love to drink to the point that he didn't even do business and stayed in the inn to wait for her. It could be said that he loved wine deeply.
Seeing that Yellow Beard had tidied up the inn until it was spotless, Jiujiu exerted her strength and jumped onto the roof. She opened the secret compartment and took out the wine that she had stored for several years and threw it to Yellow Beard.
Yellow Beard quickly caught the wine jug, opened the seal and poured the contents into his mouth. After drinking more than half of the jug in one breath, Yellow Beard wiped his mouth with his sleeve and sighed, "Satisfying."
Bi You was used to seeing the pretentious style of martial arts heroes, but it was the first time she saw such a forthright person like Yellow Beard. She was inevitably shocked and looked at him curiously. Then, she walked towards Jiujiu and asked softly if there was anything she needed to clean up.
Jiujiu thought about it and found that there was indeed something.
Although Yellow Beard could clean up outside, he definitely didn't have the guts to go into her room.
Jiujiu took Bi You upstairs and asked her to help her clean up the room. Then, she went to the kitchen.
Because Yellow Beard also needed to eat and drink, everything in the kitchen was quite complete.
Jiujiu made a stew with the leftovers and called everyone to eat.
During the cooking time, Jiujiu checked the existing things in the inn. She planned to go to the market tomorrow to replenish the goods and reopen the inn in a few days.
When Jiujiu came back, Yellow Beard's heart was tied to Jiujiu. After drinking wine and eating, he saw Bi You sitting beside Jiujiu.
Because they left the Central Plains, Bi You didn't continue to wear her white clothes. She changed into coarse clothes like Jiujiu.
However, because of her beautiful appearance, even ordinary clothes were more advantageous than ordinary people when worn by Bi You. It was the first time they met, but Yellow Beard's eyes were fixed on her.
After the meal, when Bi You went to clean up, Yellow Beard mysteriously approached Jiujiu and asked: "Miss Jiu, who is the girl who came back with you?"
Jiujiu glanced at Yellow Beard: "My sister. What's wrong?"
