After that, he returned to Heavenly Sea Pavilion. After asking Qin Hai about what had happened to Shang Tianyu, he apologized to Qin Hai on behalf of the Shang family. Before leaving, he left behind two guards saying that he wanted to prevent similar incidents from occurring again.
Even though his words were watertight and he treated them with the same enthusiasm, Qin Hai could tell that the guards were on guard. It was very possible that what he had said was not the same, as the two of them had not stayed in Heavenly Sea Pavilion to simply protect Lin Qingya and him.
This made Qin Hai very angry. Although the main purpose of his and Lin Qingya"s visit to the Shang family was to treat Lin Qingya"s illness, in the end, it was all because they were invited. It was simply a great insult for the Shang family to treat them with such an att.i.tude.
If it was any other time, Qin Hai would have long since left, not wanting to stay here and watch others" expressions. However, considering Lin Qingya"s physical condition, he suppressed his anger and didn"t tell Lin Qingya about his discovery.
A day pa.s.sed quickly, and it was already evening. Qin Hai brought Lin Qingya out of the Heavenly Sea Pavilion and to the beach.
The sun was setting in the distance, and the surface of the sea was sparkling. The golden glow of the sunset had turned the entire sea dreamy.
Lin Qingya wore a white dress that fluttered in the sea breeze. It was attached to her body, outlining her perfect figure, like a beautiful fairy that despised the mortal world.
A beauty paired with a beautiful scenery was definitely a feast for the eyes for Qin Hai. However, right now, his mood was as disgusting as if he had bitten an apple and discovered half a bug.
About twenty to thirty meters behind them, the two guards that had been left behind at Heavenly Sea Pavilion followed them at a leisurely pace. They had been keeping a close watch on their whereabouts the entire time.
Lin Qingya turned around and looked at him. With a gentle smile, she said, "Forget it, let"s go back."
Qin Hai was no longer in the mood to continue strolling. No matter who it was, they would not like to be followed, and he was no exception.
After returning to Heavenly Sea Pavilion, Lin Qingya returned to her room. Since Qin Hai had nothing better to do, he decided to go to the kitchen to see what he could eat tonight.
Aside from the villa that Qin Hai and Lin Qingya lived in, there were two other rooms within Heavenly Sea Pavilion. One was a servants" room, while the other was a miscellaneous room and kitchen. Both were located at the back of the villa.
Just as Qin Hai arrived at the kitchen door, he unexpectedly heard someone cursing nearby. He followed the voice and saw an old man being driven out by a male servant of Heavenly Sea Pavilion.
The old man"s appearance was slovenly, with a stooped back and wrinkled skin. It was hard to tell how old he was, but his hair was a mess. It was unknown how long he had not washed his hair for, but he looked just like an old beggar.
He was holding an iron bowl that was as big as a human face, but it only contained a little leftovers. The middle-aged servant quickly moved to the side, muttering some words.
Qin Hai was extremely surprised. The Heavenly Sea Pavilion was located in the Shang family"s residence. How did this old man named Hua appear here?
At this time, the middle-aged servant also saw Qin Hai. He hurriedly turned around and said with a face full of smiles: "Mr. Qin, I"m sorry. Did I make too much noise?"
This middle-aged male servant was called Jiang De, the head of these servants of Tianhai Pavilion. Qin Hai had gotten to know him yesterday.
Qin Hai looked at the old man and asked curiously, "Master Jiang, what"s going on with this person? Could it be that there are outsiders who are allowed to enter the Heavenly Sea Pavilion?"
"He didn"t come in from the outside. He lived here all the time." Jiang De explained, "Actually, we don"t know who he is either. Two or three years ago, he came out of the sea on a broken boat, saying that his home is here and he refused to leave. If we send him away, he will die. "Later on, when even the clan leader found out that he was pitiful, we let him stay here and feed him. We"ll raise him up as a good deed."
Qin Hai asked, "He"s not young anymore. Could it be that his family used to be here?"
Jiang De said, "That might be possible. This area used to have a small fishing village, but later on it became abandoned." This old man might actually have lived here before, but no one could say for sure. "Mr. Qin, don"t worry. We definitely won"t let him into the kitchen, so you don"t have to worry about him dirtying the food."
Qin Hai waved his hand and laughed, "I am not worried about this, I am just curious. This old man has lived here for so long. Has his family never come to look for him? "
"I"ve never seen it before. One year ago, the Patriarch sent people out to inquire about it, but in the end, they didn"t manage to get any news from him."
Just then, a maid came out from the kitchen with two plates of dishes. Qin Hai brought the plate of Red Braised Meat over and said to Jiang De, "That old man has no one to rely on. It"s quite pitiful. Can I give him some food?"
Seeing that Qin Hai was interested in the old man, Jiang De hurriedly advised, "Mister Qin, you are a good person, but the old man"s temper isn"t too good. If you anger him, he will open his mouth and bite you.
"Don"t worry, I"ll be fine!" Qin Hai smiled and walked in front of the old man with the Red Braised Meat.
The old man, who was carrying a metal bowl of rice grains, was squatting in the corner. Smelling the fragrance of the Red Braised Meat, he immediately turned his gaze over and stared at the Red Braised Meat in Qin Hai"s hands.
Qin Hai squatted in front of the old man and placed the Red Braised Meat on the ground. He smiled and said, "Eat it. It was just brought out from the kitchen. It"s clean."
The old man glanced at Qin Hai and asked warily, "Are you really giving it to me to eat?"
"Yes, don"t worry, there"s no poison in this meat!" Qin Hai took the initiative and threw a piece of meat into his mouth. After taking two bites, he said, "Look, I"ll eat it too!"
The old man turned around and glanced at the distant Jiang De. He quickly picked up the plate of Red Braised Meat and poured it all into his iron bowl. He then suddenly stood up and hid himself in a corner that Jiang De couldn"t see.
The old man"s greasy mouth and wolfing down his food had aroused the gluttony in Qin Hai"s stomach. He smiled and prepared to go back to the villa to call Lin Qingya down for dinner.
At this moment, a voice sounded from behind him. "Kid, wait a moment!"
When Qin Hai turned around, the slovenly old man waved him over and whispered, "Do you have any wine?"
"Pfft!" Qin Hai burst into laughter. This old man was quite interesting. He was not satisfied with the meat, and now he even wanted to drink wine. Chapter error, point this report (registered free)
