Chapter 1437: Xibao Enters the Capital 1
Seeing Jin Laoqi now, Feng Qingxue felt very surprised.
One should know that from here to Jin Laoqi’s residence was a distance of twelve to twenty kilometers; what was he doing wandering around here with no particular reason? His face was covered with bruises of blue and purple, as if he had been punched and slapped, the marks were very distinct.
"Old man, it’s already dark, why don’t you go home?" Feng Qingxue approached him.
Jin Laoqi gathered his tattered cotton coat and squinted at Feng Qingxue, who only had her eyes showing.
After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, "It’s you!"
"Huh? What do you mean it’s me, old man?" Feng Qingxue was stunned. She and her husband were fully armed during their transactions with Jin Laoqi, and they even deliberately lowered their voices and altered their tone; could he still recognize something?
Jin Laoqi waved his hand, "Nothing, nothing, did you call me?"
"Yes, it’s so late, why aren’t you heading home?" Feng Qingxue repeated her question.
"Home? What home? Where is there a home for me, I’m just a lonely old man." Jin Laoqi let out a low sigh, "My old den has been searched over and over again, even during heavy snowfall there is no peace. Look, look at my face, it’s the work of a few kids who came to my house today, they insisted I reveal where I hid the gold and treasures. My family has been in ruins for generations, what gold and treasures could there be? They were all taken away by the warlord during the chaos of war, and no one believes me no matter how many times I say it."
