Sincere Heart in Jianghu

Under the light of the lantern, when Yang Ming looked at the beautiful woman, his heart involuntarily started to beat faster. Although Chen Qingqing's face had already calmed down from her flirtatious expression, the mistiness in her eyes was instead replaced with another kind of charm.

Yang Ming took a light breath, "Miss, how did you manage to open this small shop here by yourself? "Where are our family members?"

Chen Qingqing let out a light sigh, "When I turn fifteen, the person who adopted me saw just how beautiful I am, and wanted to look for a good marriage for me!"

Yang Ming nodded and listened to what Chen Qingqing had to say seriously.

"His family is normal, and my adoptive parents wanted to find me a better family, so they wanted him to back off. But he had perseverance, and persisted. No matter how much my adoptive parents ridiculed him, he always mustered up the courage to come again and again!"

Chen Qingqing's face revealed a rare smile, "He is a good person, what a pity", Chen Qingqing's voice suddenly became choked with sobs, and tears slowly flowed down her face.

"He wasn't spared from the calamity, he only left a thick letter for me. It turns out that ever since he saw me for the first time, he had secretly written a letter to me every day, intending to give all of these letters to me once we were married!"

After he finished speaking, Chen Qingqing's face was filled with tears.

So it turned out that the woman was fond of talented scholars, including Shen Ping and Chen Shaohua.

Later on, I rejected people who came to propose marriage again and again, and my adoptive parents slowly lost their patience. Finally, under the temptation of money and money, they agreed to a marriage behind my back.

After finding out about this, I left home that night. While it was still dark, I ran several dozen kilometers, found a secluded place, and did not dare to show my face. At midnight, I came out again to travel.

The original owner of this shop was also a single woman. She took me in and taught me some self-defense skills and left this shop to me.

Yang Ming quietly listened to Chen Qingqing and expressed her sympathy. In his heart, he was even more curious about the previous female owner of this inn, it was truly rare for such a strange woman to exist.

"Brother Yang has told you so much, don't you feel annoyed?" Chen Qingqing said as she put away the sadness on her face.

Yang Ming laughed, "Actually, like you, I am also an orphan. It was Master who took me in and brought me up day by day!"

The two of them looked at each other as a sense of déjà vu emanated from their eyes. Perhaps the same experiences brought the distance between them closer, and the loneliness in their hearts from childhood allowed them to have a strong heart.

"Big brother Yang, I'll toast to you!" Chen Qingqing said as he leisurely raised his wine cup, placing the cup in his mouth and taking a sip, his eyebrows slightly raised.

"The night is already late, big brother Yang is staying at my little girl's place alone, aren't you afraid of others arguing?" Chen Qingqing gently swept her hair.

There was a change in the woman's eyes. There was a hint of expectation in her depression.

Yang Ming's heart was moved, but he immediately saw Zhao Ling’er's appearance, Ling'er was too cute, she had already decided to love him sincerely, so the other girls should not be too close to her.

"Young lady is righteous, Yang Ming is not a shallow person, he is not afraid of others messing with him!" Yang Ming laughed lightly.

"It's already getting late, big brother Yang should go rest. Tomorrow, I will not send you off, good journey big brother Yang, we will meet again!", Chen Qingqing's eyes were filled with disappointment, she endured the tears in her eyes.

Yang Ming stood up, thanked him lightly, and without saying anymore, left the inn that very night.

After coming out, the cold wind outside was sharp, and felt a bit of pain on his face when it blew. Yang Ming's heart was also a little depressed, and had a kind of faint unhappiness, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Yang Ming took a deep breath. Borrowing the darkness of the night, he walked far away.

On the second day, Yang Ming had already traveled for over a hundred kilometers, and on that day, he arrived at a market. It looked rather bustling, and Yang Ming wanted to eat something and take a break.

He found a quiet and secluded store and sat down. He called for a few cups of tea, scalded a pot of wine, and then sat down to eat and drink.

There were very few people here, so it was quiet. Yang Ming ate while looking at his surroundings, and with that look, he was secretly shocked.

Although this small store was somewhat dilapidated and only had a few tables, if one looked carefully, they would discover that there was something special about it. The waiter was extremely spirited.

A person with the appearance of an Elementary Scholar was sitting inside the shop. He was most likely the accountant here. He seemed to have a master and a small boy in the kitchen.

There were only five people in the shop. It was a bit difficult to support five people in such a poor business. What was even more strange was that these people were dressed in top quality clothing. Why were they opening an ordinary store here? These people weren't here to make a living.

Judging from their stature, they were quite sturdy and had a heroic spirit in their eyes. They seemed to be martial artists.

Yang Ming had encountered too many things regarding the martial arts forest, so he was not surprised. If they were living in seclusion here, there must be something that was difficult to talk about, so he did not need to care about it.

After finishing the wine and finishing all the dishes on the table, Yang Ming called the waiter over to settle the bill. Yang Ming was surprised that the waiter would actually ask for five taels of silver.

"Brother Xiao Er, is it wrong? Please go and ask again, how about it?" Yang Ming held back the dissatisfaction in his heart.

The waiter smiled and said, "Customer, you do not know that my store uses different materials, so it is naturally a lot more expensive. Those who can come here are all returning customers."
