Chapter 698
The man followed Erya's line of sight, saw the police officer and Shi Qing standing beside him, and immediately greeted him politely.

Hearing the two policemen roughly finish the story, the man quickly thanked him.

"I'm Erya's second brother, my name is Xu Qingbai."

"Thank you two comrades, and this girl. It's almost dinner time, why don't you stay and have lunch before leaving?"

"Yeah, stay and eat."

Erya nodded in agreement.

The two police officers had to rush back to the town because they had something to do, so it was not good to waste time, so they were about to leave after saying goodbye to them.

"Where's Miss Qingqing?"

"No."

Shi Qing said softly, "I have to go back and have a look at that house."

"It won't take much time." Erya looked at her eagerly.

Shi Qing shook his head, "Don't bother."

She didn't want to deal too much with others.

"Okay, Erya."

Xu Qingbai interrupted Er Ya's words, and his eyes signaled her to calm down, "Don't delay her work."

Erya had no choice but to shrink back cowardly, and followed Xu Qingbai to watch them leave.

...

When Shi Qing returned to Linjia Village, he went to the foot of the mountain based on his impressions, and he saw an old yard nearby, with an earthen house in it, and weeds growing half a person's height in the rest of the place.

Sister Lan borrowed some tools from the village chief for weeding and cleaning.

As soon as the village head brought the sickle, broom and other tools over, he turned around and saw Shi Qing stepping into the yard, and couldn't help but ask, "Girl Qing, do you really want to live here?"

"Ah."

Shi Qing nodded, "I'll go inside and have a look."

Shi Qing walked into the house.

The door of the house is the kind of old wooden door, a little crooked and looks fragile, but it can barely be bolted.

Not to mention the windows. Other houses in the village have already replaced the glass windows. This house has not been lived in for at least ten years, and it still has paper windows.

The tung oil paper on it was torn to pieces by the wind and rain, leaving only the frame.

The air in the room is a bit stuffy, and the walls have fallen off and become moldy. Now that the doors and windows are open, the air can circulate a little.

Fortunately, the beams of the house were not damaged by moths, and it was barely livable.

"Qingqing, are you back?"

Sister Lan was wiping the dust on the kang with an old rag, and she was unexpectedly more enthusiastic and proactive than a few days ago.

"Ah."

Shi Qing didn't intend to inquire about Sister Lan's past, but said, "I'll go outside to clean up."

Sister Lan froze for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."

Xu Shi felt that they were two weak women with limited labor force, and tidying up the yard was a big project, so the village head volunteered to stay and help them.

After Shi Qing thanked the village chief, he began to clear the weeds from the road from the courtyard gate to the front of the house.

Shi Qing had never mowed grass with a sickle before, so he consulted the village chief, and his efficiency improved a lot.

They were weeding here, and not long after, someone from the yard came over.

"Excuse me, is Lin Shiqing here?"

The man parked his bicycle outside the yard and did not enter the door. Looking in from the outside, he happened to be able to see the village chief who was mowing the grass, and asked with some uncertainty.

"Girl Qing, someone is looking for you."

The village chief called Shi Qing over.

Shi Qing threw the weeds in his hand aside, walked over to look outside the courtyard, and saw Xu Qingbai standing outside, wondering why he came here on purpose.

"What's up?"

Xu Qingbai said: "That's right, thank you for saving Erya. I heard Erya talk about your current situation, and I thought of sending you some food as our thanks."
