After everything was settled, Wu Qing thanked Zhou Shou again. If he had the recipe, he could let others learn it in the future, so that A Li could eat more food.

"It's almost time to eat. Gang Leader Wu, why not just have some light meals at Zhou's place!"

"No, thank you shopkeeper Zhou for your kindness. I really can't stay away from anyone in my gang, and Yuli is still there. I rode here very quickly, so I will go back now. Otherwise, it would be difficult to walk at night." Wu

Qing declined.

If he wasn't there, he always felt that Yuli was not safe anywhere. Maybe it wasn't that Yuli was really in any danger, but that he would be worried if he couldn't see Yuli.

He simply came here on horseback, so if he goes back now, he can still have time to have dinner if he returns to the gang.

They were all cheerful people. If they said it was inconvenient, it was inconvenient. Since Wu Qing said so, Zhou Shou did not force him to stay and sent him out.

"This Gang Leader Wu is a sweet-tempered person. He treats Mr. Yu better than his own brother." Zhou Lin said with emotion as he looked at the galloping horse running away.

"It's a very good gang. If the gang leader and the master are so close, the gang can be harmonious within the gang and last longer!"

"But I am very curious about where Mr. Fish comes from, what is his relationship with Gang Leader Wu, and why do they trust each other so much?"

Mr. Yu was calm last time. He firmly believed that Gang Leader Wu would save him. This kind of complete trust is really difficult to achieve.

Gang leader Wu risked his life and came rashly just to save Mr. Yu, and looking at his attitude, he would do anything to save Mr. Yu.

"I don't know, maybe it's a secret!"

Mr. Yu is resourceful and a rare strategist, but before Gang Leader Wu became the gang leader, he had no reputation and could be said to have appeared out of nowhere.

But they appeared almost at the same time as Gang Leader Wu, so there is a high probability that they had known each other before, but Mr. Yu's status was not high before and he had no chance to stand out. It was not until Gang Leader Wu gained power that he could stand out.

Everyone has a secret, maybe this is the same secret as Mr. Fish’s mask!

…

Wu Qing rode very fast and returned to the gang before dark.

He directly ordered people to bring the food to the house, and then went back to the house.

He felt very unsafe, so he lived with Yu Li in the same house with separate rooms.

After he went in, Yuli was indeed in the house.

"A Li, I'm back. Have you eaten?" Wu Qing asked.

Yu Li is not used to eating, so he can still watch him when he is here. If he is not here, I guess he can save the money.

"Not yet, I'll wait for you to come together." Yu Li said with a smile.

"What you said is not true. If I didn't ask you, you would definitely stop eating!" Wu Qing said with a helpless smile.

"Then you won't ask?"

Yuli's tone was rare. Although he didn't want to eat, he guessed that Wu Qing would ask him when he came back.

"I guess not, I have to keep an eye on you. I've already asked someone to bring the food to the house. Let's eat together."

Yu Li nodded helplessly.

"A Li, look at me, what's so good about that book? You haven't read me since I came back!"

Wu Qing went over, took the book off Yuli's hand, approached Yuli, and said coquettishly.

"Don't make trouble. If you go to Shopkeeper Zhou's place, there will definitely be nothing going on. What's the point of seeing it?" Yu Li said helplessly.

"It's okay. I have done something big this time. Guess what it is?" Wu Qing said flatteringly.

"How could I have guessed this? You tell me." Yu Li said with a slight smile.

"You said you like to eat that sauce. I made an agreement with Shopkeeper Zhou. When he goes back, he will take us brothers with him and then go to his hometown to transport the sauce back. Shopkeeper Zhou also said that they have a lot of it.

It's delicious. We can also bring the recipe back and make it ourselves."

Wu Qing said excitedly, his eyes bright, as if he could imagine the scene at that time.

"We brothers can take it out, but with that recipe, won't we be too much trouble for Shopkeeper Zhou?"

Yu Li coughed a few times. He didn't like to owe others favors. Shopkeeper Zhou had already saved his life this time. He really didn't want to trouble others with his food.

Their identities may bring trouble to Shopkeeper Zhou, not to mention that it is difficult to get the prescription.

"I know that from now on in Yaocheng, we will take more care of Shopkeeper Zhou's business. And Shopkeeper Zhou said that he has the recipe, so it's not too much trouble."

Shopkeeper Zhou had said at the time that he was very familiar with the lady, so there was no need to give them some prescriptions since they were far away in the city.

"That's fine. Ah Qing can try it next time. It's really delicious." Yu Li said with a smile.

"Well, I have wronged you after all. Don't worry, when our place becomes better and our brothers can all have food, I will disband the Qing Gang, and then I will take you to visit the north and south of the country and eat delicious food from various places.

, look at the beautiful scenery, don’t you want to see what the sea looks like, let’s go and see it then.”

Wu Qing took Yu Li's hand and described it in detail. They had never been out of Yaocheng. Yu Li loved reading. He once saw a book about the vast sea and a lonely boat. He yearned for that place very much.

It's a pity that there are not even a few streams in Yaocheng. It's all mountains and there are dark mines everywhere.

He also wanted to go out. The first time he heard Yuli say that he wanted to take a look, he wanted to take him there, but he couldn't.

In fact, he has no feelings for the Qinggang, and he is even less fond of his father, but he pities the brothers in the gang, most of whom grew up with him.

He couldn't leave. If the gang disbanded, it would be difficult for those brothers to find a way out. There were hundreds of people in the gang, old and young, and he couldn't leave them behind.

"Okay." Yu Li agreed with a smile.

But he couldn't believe such a thing. There was no way out in Yaocheng. After so many years, it seemed that people in the capital had forgotten this place, and there was nothing they could develop here.

The quality of the land is not good and the grain yield is too low. Therefore, even the most basic food and clothing cannot be provided. How can we prosper?

"I know you don't believe it, but we really have a way out in Yaocheng, and it's only been a few years. I heard what Shopkeeper Zhou said today..."

Wu Qing knew Yu Li so well that he definitely didn't believe what he just said, so he summarized what Shopkeeper Zhou said.

"Seriously! Is the yield really so high? Can we cultivate it on land like ours?"

Yu Li asked excitedly, with a blush on his fair face. If what shopkeeper Zhou said is true, then he can really go out one day!

"It's true. Shopkeeper Zhou is not the kind of person who talks nonsense, and almost every household there has planted it, and the yield is indeed very high. And although the quality of our land is not good, the yield at most is lower than theirs, but

This is already very high!"

"That's good, then we might really be able to go out..." Yu Li murmured.

"Um!"

Both of them were silent for a while. This sudden good thing came and suddenly lit up a light in their dark lives. It was so unbelievable.

The silence was broken by the knocking on the door. It was someone from below bringing food.

"Here we come." Wu Qing agreed and went over to bring the food in.

"Don't think too much. This matter will definitely be settled. It will only take two or three years. Let's wait and eat first! I'm already hungry."

"Yeah." Yuli agreed.

What can't wait? As long as there is hope, he can wait even ten years. Anyway, he has passed through the darkest days. How can he be afraid of these few years again? Besides, the two of them are not so sad after all.

.

"Take off the mask! It's inconvenient to eat. I locked the door so no one can come in." Wu Qing said softly.

Yuli didn't speak, but silently took off his mask.

His mask covers half of his face, which makes it really inconvenient for him to eat, so he either doesn't take it off when eating, or else he doesn't eat in front of others.

Wu Qing smiled warmly at Yuli and served him a bowl of soup. Yuli liked to drink soup before eating.

After taking off the mask, you can see that there is a large scar on the side of Yuli's face that is wearing the mask.

Yu Li has an exquisite appearance, with fair skin, a pair of peach blossom eyes, and even her eyelashes are long and dense, but the scar on her already small face is particularly obvious.

Yu Li has gotten used to it. He has been with Wu Qing for decades, and this scar has been there for decades. He is not as afraid of him seeing it as he was at first.

"Shopkeeper Zhou never asked me about the mask on my face." Yu Li said suddenly.

"Well, Shopkeeper Zhou is a good person. In fact, maybe there are just a lot of bad people in Yaocheng. When we go outside in the future, we may meet more good people like Shopkeeper Zhou. Moreover, Shopkeeper Zhou said that most of the people in his hometown

They are all friendly. In their free time, they will gather together to eat, play, and chat... They are different from the people in Yaocheng."

"Then let's go and have a look later! I also want to see what kind of person that lady is. She is a really powerful woman..." Yu Li said with a smile.

If possible, after they have had enough of traveling outside and want to settle down, they can also settle down in Shopkeeper Zhou's hometown, which sounds very good.

"And there are more doctors with good medical skills outside. We will go to many places and we will definitely be able to find medicine to cure the scars on your face. A Li is so good-looking, he must be a handsome man without a mask."

As soon as Wu Qing finished speaking, Yu Li lowered his head. He didn't want to mention the scar, and he didn't like his face either.

"I'm sorry, Ali, I, I didn't mean to, you know, I don't mind this matter, I don't, I..."

Wu Qing was anxious to explain, but the more he explained, the more confused he became. He usually didn't dare to mention this matter, but today he was too excited, so he lost it for a moment.

"It's okay, I know what you mean. It's been so many years and I don't really care anymore. I just don't want to think about it. Let's eat! Aren't you hungry?" Yuli said with a forced smile.

This is his scar, but for many years, Wu Qing rarely talks about it. This time he may have hope to go out. He also thinks about it for himself, but he can't forget this incident.

When he was eight years old, his parents starved to death and left him at his uncle's house. He was always careful and willing to do anything just to survive.

But even so, his uncle still didn't keep him because he had a pretty good face and was given away by his uncle to someone else when he was ten years old.
