Lao Lin was stunned when he heard Ye Qingxue's words.
"When did I lie?" he asked, looking at Ye Qingxue with a puzzled expression.
Ye Qingxue looked at him with a cold eyebrow: "I noticed it when you were making tea just now. You know exactly where the tea cups and tea leaves are, which means you are very familiar with this place. This is not your first time here at all."
"This..." Lao Lin was stunned.
He didn't expect Ye Qingxue to see through this.
He smiled helplessly: "Since you have seen through everything, I can only tell the truth."
Ye Qingxue looked at him without speaking.
Lao Lin said: "Actually, I have been here before and lived here for a while."
"Then why did you say it was your first time here?" Ye Qingxue looked at him suspiciously.
Lao Lin hesitated before saying, "Because I'm afraid you'll tell them why I came here."
"What do you mean? Don't the people behind you know you are here?" Ye Qingxue was confused.
At this time, she already thought the person behind him was Xiao Fan.
Lao Lin shook his head: "He doesn't know that I stole the key."
"What?" Ye Qingxue was stunned on the spot.
"What do you want to do by stealing the key?" Ye Qingxue asked.
Lao Lin looked at a medicine cabinet over there and said, "I know there are many precious medicinal materials in the medicine cabinet over there, which cannot be bought with money outside. I came here just to take away the medicinal materials inside."
"What do you want those medicinal materials for?" Ye Qingxue frowned.
Lao Lin sighed helplessly: "There is no way, you can see, I am already this age now, and I don't have much time left. I just want to use those medicines to refine some elixirs so that I can
Live longer by yourself.”
"No one wants to die, right?" He looked at Ye Qingxue and smiled bitterly.
Ye Qingxue looked at him with a frown and said nothing.
Although there didn't seem to be any big holes in Lao Lin's excuse, she still felt it was a bit too far-fetched.
"Isn't the person behind you from here? Why doesn't he just give you the medicinal materials?" Ye Qingxue asked.
Lao Lin shook his head: "The medicinal materials are too precious and will not be given to others casually."
"I can't believe your excuse." Ye Qingxue said.
Lao Lin: "Whether you believe it or not, it is true."
"As long as I'm here today, don't even think about taking any of the medicinal herbs here." Ye Qingxue looked at him and said.
Lao Lin smiled bitterly: "I know you won't let me take it away."
"Then you're not leaving yet?" Ye Qingxue looked at him and asked.
Lao Lin: "It...it's already getting so late. I'm old. Can you let me stay one night and leave at dawn tomorrow?"
Ye Qingxue said: "This is not my home, nor is it your home. We have no right to live here."
As she said that, she got up and was about to go out.
But when she saw that Lao Lin still didn't move, she frowned slightly: "Aren't you leaving yet?"
Seeing her like this, Lao Lin had no choice but to sigh helplessly, got up and followed her out of here.
Coming outside, Ye Qingxue stretched out her hand and said: "Give me the key."
Lao Lin looked at her and handed him the key to the door.
Then Ye Qingxue sat down again at the gate.
"Aren't you going down the mountain?" Lao Lin asked.
Ye Qingxue snorted coldly: "I have to guard here to prevent you from climbing over the wall and stealing medicinal materials after I leave."
Lao Lin smiled bitterly: "No."
Ye Qingxue glanced at him and said nothing.
Seeing her like this, Lao Lin had no choice but to sit down beside her.
When Ye Qingxue saw that he was not leaving, her face darkened: "What are you still doing sitting here?"
Lao Lin said: "It's too dark. I want to wait until dawn tomorrow before going down the mountain."
"I think you just want to sneak in and get the medicinal materials inside." Ye Qingxue said.
Lao Lin smiled and said nothing more.
That night, the two of them sat at the door and rested.
Although there was a biting wind on the top of the mountain, Ye Qingxue did not feel cold because of the true energy in her body.
Lao Lin, on the other hand, sneezed several times one night and kept coughing.
The next morning, the two went down the mountain together.
Because Ye Qingxue has been waiting here for a long time but has not waited for Yu Yiyi to come back. She still has matters to deal with at the company and the bar, so she cannot stay here forever.
After a while, they came to the town.
Ye Qingxue got into the car to go back, and she took Lao Lin with her.
"Why did you take me with you?" Lao Lin asked confused.
Ye Qingxue said: "From today on, you will go to my bar to help as a bodyguard, and I will give you 20,000 yuan a month."
"This..." Lao Lin was stunned. He didn't expect that Ye Qingxue would suddenly pull him over as a bodyguard.
He smiled and said: "I am already so old, you are not afraid that someone will beat me to death."
Ye Qingxue said: "You are so skilled, how could you be beaten to death so easily? If you are really beaten to death, you don't have to worry, I will take care of your funeral."
Lao Lin looked at her: "Are you afraid that after you leave, I will go back to the mountain to steal things?"
Ye Qingxue: "That's right."
"Actually, have you ever thought about a question?" Lao Lin suddenly asked.
Ye Qingxue was confused: "What's the problem?"
Lao Lin smiled and said: "Since I can easily climb over the wall, why should I take the key to open the door?"
Ye Qingxue was stunned when she heard this.
This does not make sense.
"Why?" Ye Qingxue asked.
Lao Lin smiled lightly: "You can think about it yourself."
Ye Qingxue was speechless. This old man was still showing off his skills. How abominable!
Huh? Wait, she suddenly felt like she had seen the old man's character before somewhere.
She recalled it carefully, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while.
She finally shook her head and didn't want to think about it any more.
In the evening, Ye Qingxue took Lao Lin back to Jianghai City.
"From today on, you will live in the bar. The bar has extra rooms. You cannot leave Jianghai City without my permission." Ye Qingxue said.
Lao Lin smiled and asked, "Why must I listen to you?"
Ye Qingxue: "If you don't listen, you can try it. I will never allow you to steal their medicinal materials!"
Seeing her like this, Lao Lin shook his head and smiled without saying anything more.
A few days later, the bar reopened again.
Xia Zirou also recruited a few more people to work.
But she was stunned when she saw that Ye Qingxue actually hired an old man as a bodyguard.
She glanced at Lao Lin at the door over there, then turned to look at Ye Qingxue with a complex expression: "Sister Ye, are you sure this old man is really okay? Don't be beaten to death by then, we will still be responsible."
"Don't worry, as long as he is here, those gangsters won't be able to enter the bar even if they come." Ye Qingxue said.
