C576 He Saw the Token
Jian Yi did not raise his head but still seriously tied the grasshopper.
After tying it up, Jian Yi looked up and smiled at Qiao. Then he turned around and took a pen to write on the paper, "Send Sister Qiao off. Good luck, safe and sound."
Qiao looked at the words that Jian Yi wrote and was slightly stunned. Then she smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Dong. I will always wear it."
Ever since she was alone, this was the first time in so many years that she received a blessing with meaning.
Seeing the surprise in Qiao's eyes, Jian Yi was slightly stunned and hid the guilt in his heart.
After Qiao left, Jian Yi looked at her back. He then sighed in his heart and said quietly, "Sister Qiao, I'm sorry. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely give you a better one. It is purely a gift to protect you and bless you."
If it was possible, he also did not want to use Qiao. But now, he was like a trapped beast with its sharp claws cut off. Other than that, there was no other way.
At this moment, Jian Yi had never felt so weak before.
In the past, he thought that he had the talent for computers. Even if his skills were a little worse, it didn't matter. But now, he realized that no matter how powerful his skills and talent were, it didn't matter. If someone took away something external, he wouldn't have the ability to fight back.
If he was on an isolated island right now, he would have starved to death without the need for the enemy to find him.
Jian Yi pursed his lips and made up his mind. He would learn martial arts from Mo Jue when he recovered his health.
After Qiao left, she saw Zhuo in the corridor.
Zhuo saw the grasshopper on Qiao's waist and narrowed his eyes.
It was made up by Jian Yi. He saw Jian Yi sitting there for a long time with his head down. He had been working on it seriously.
He thought... Jian Yi would give it to him.
He did not expect that it would be given to Qiao.
Of course, Zhuo didn't want to admit that he was jealous of the grasshopper, but he couldn't help but look at the grasshopper.
Qiao saw Zhuo's eyes and said with a smile, "Dong gave it to me. This child is actually very meticulous. He can't say many things, but he knows everyone's good."
"Humph." Zhuo coldly snorted and thought, Am I not good enough to him? 'Why don't you give it to me? '
Qiao thought for a while and considered her words, "Mr Zhuo, I know I am not qualified to say anything in front of you, but... maybe if you understand Dong from another angle, it would be better for him."
Zhuo frowned slightly and asked, "What did he say to you?"
Qiao sighed and looked down at the grasshopper hanging on her waist. "Mr Zhuo, I had a family when I was young. Although I was poor, I had parents and brothers. Later... many changes happened and I was the only one left. I am very grateful that Eldest Sister and you raised me up. I also know that these words coming out of my mouth don't know what's good for me, but if I can choose, Actually... I want to die together with my parents back then."
Zhuo was stunned. He knew that Qiao did not have a good life these years. After all, in Tali Linna's place, it was always the survival mechanism of the strong. But he never knew that Qiao would rather die than continue living.
Qiao looked at the gradually descending night sky outside the window and softly said, "When I was young, I was especially afraid of being chased away by Eldest Sister or other people to unfamiliar places. Even if I stayed in the hotel, it made me very uneasy. Because I knew that I was too weak and could be abandoned at any time. I'm afraid that when I wake up, I won't have the fear of anyone by my side. For a long time, I've been praying nonstop. If that day is destined to come, if I'm destined to be alone... Then please let that day come quickly. Don't let me have extravagant hopes and fantasies that I shouldn't have."
Her voice did not contain much sadness or resentment, but more of indifference that had been present for many years.
Perhaps it was because she was too calm, but when Zhuo heard her, he felt sad instead.
Zhuo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he could only say too little.
As a straight man of steel, he especially did not know how to comfort girls, so he only said one sentence, "It's always good to be alive."
Qiao smiled and said, "I'm not saying this to complain about anything to you, Mr Zhuo. I just hope that you can understand some of Dong's thoughts from me."
"Dong?" Zhuo was stunned. He frowned and thought for a while and asked, "Are you saying that Dong is afraid of being left behind by me?"
"Yes."
Qiao nodded and said, "I had a chat with Dong just now. He told me that he doesn't want to wander around anymore."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhuo frowned and said, "I brought him back with me. How could I let him wander around?"
Qiao opened her mouth and said hesitantly, "But Mr Zhuo, when you brought him here today, Actually, you are not sure if you can make him stay, right? If Eldest Sister doesn't agree, you can only send him back to his original place, right? "
" This... "Zhuo choked. He frowned and did not say anything.
He wanted to argue, but he could not find any words to say.
Because Qiao was right.
No matter how much he felt for Jian Yi, he could not surpass Tali Linna, because he was always Tali Linna's subordinate.
If Tali Linna did not agree, what could he do to Jian Yi with his own strength today?
Other than helping him find a family and give him a sum of money, he had no other choice.
Qiao sighed and said, "This is what Dong is most afraid of. If he has always been a little beggar, It does not matter. In any case, he was born and raised by the heavens, and living until that day, it all depends on the arrangement of the heavens. But now, Mr Zhuo had given him hope, and had given him hope in life. So, he began to be afraid. He had just passed Eldest Sister's trial, and had just stayed in this place for a day. Now that he heard that you were going to take him away again, he couldn't help but think about it. He wouldn't be used to it, he would be afraid. For an orphan, these thoughts are very normal. "
After listening to Qiao's words, Zhuo was silent for a moment, then nodded and said," I know. I will go and talk to him. "
"Yes." Qiao smiled at him and said, "Mr Zhuo, you can talk to Dong. Don't get angry at him."
"Am I that stupid?" Zhuo snorted and waved his hand. "Go do your work. I know what to do."
"Well, I'll go down now." Qiao nodded and then turned to leave.
Zhuo looked at Qiao's back and frowned. He turned around and went back to his room to look for Jian Yi.
Regardless of whether Qiao wanted to live or not, no matter what her life would be like, what he could help her with was too limited.
After all, Qiao had Qi Er by her side.
Regardless of whether Qiao was willing or not, she had already been labeled "Qi Er's possessions."
Other than Qi Er, no one else here would lend her a helping hand, even if it was Tali Linna.
Thinking of this, Zhuo suddenly felt that the grasshopper that Jian Yi gave Qiao was quite good.
He sighed slightly and pushed the door open to enter the room.
Jian Yi was tidying up the pen and paper on the table. When he saw Zhuo come in, he looked up at him, then lowered his head and continued his hand movements in silence.
He wondered how Qiao told Zhuo. Would this "cheap brother" agree to stay for another two days?
Zhuo saw Jian Yi lowering his head and did not look at him. He thought that Jian Yi was still angry. He could not help but pat his shoulder and say, "Don't clean up first."
Jian Yi was stunned and looked up at him.
Zhuo reached out and pinched his face, then went to get a pen and wrote on the paper, "You are my brother. I will not leave you behind."
Jian Yi looked at the words and then looked at him. He did not say anything.
Zhuo thought about it and said, "You have to write when you can't talk. I have to think of a way for you..."
After a pause, Zhuo smiled and said, "How about this. When we get home, I'll find you a teacher who knows sign language. This way, we won't be writing when we talk in the future."
He was a martial arts man, a big and rough one. Writing was too difficult for him.
Jian Yi blinked and tilted his head slightly, as if he understood what he meant.
In fact, Jian Yi's heart was full of ridicule.
This was great. He didn't expect Zhuo to even find a sign teacher for him.
But if he really learned sign language, that would be a little better.
Jian Yi thought so.
As usual, Zhuo did not know how to comfort people. He only saw that Jian Yi was not as silent as before. He thought that Jian Yi's mood had improved, so he said, "How about this, let's stay here for a day and leave tomorrow. How about you rest for a day?"
Jian Yi nodded in a daze.
He knew that it was already very kind of Zhuo to be able to stay for one more day.
If he continued to cause trouble without reason, it would be too suspicious.

While Zhuo and Jian Yi were talking, Qiao prepared dinner for Mo Jue in the dungeon.
Ever since he had chatted with Tali Linna, Mo Jue had not been in a good mood.
He thought that he could find a way to get out of the dungeon as gently as possible, and then take the antidote and send it to Jian Haixi.
But now it seemed that it was impossible. The obvious hatred Tali Linna had towards Jian Haixi even shocked Mo Jue.
He sighed and rubbed the space between his brows somewhat tiredly.
It seemed like he had to think of a way to get out tonight. Otherwise, the time left for him would only be lesser and lesser.
"It's time to eat."
Just as Mo Jue was thinking about how to get out, he heard Qiao's soft voice.
Qiao put down the dishes one by one and said to Mo Jue, "This is the food for tonight. Do you want to try it?"
Hearing Qiao's words, Mo Jue could not help laughing and said, "So what if it does not fit the taste? I am a prisoner. Could it be that you can't change it for me..."
As he spoke, he turned his head casually. However, when he saw the grass grasshopper swaying at Qiao's waist, he instantly stiffened.
Why did this thing appear here?
