Chapter 2043: No Chance, No Meeting
The courtyard where Lin Yi was located was a secluded hut in the endless mountains outside the Xingdou Forest. This was a hut specially built by Lin Yi hundreds of years ago, used for drinking and getting drunk in his spare time.
This place is located between the mountains, uninhabited, and there is no water source around. It really surprised him that people from outside could come here.
"Alas, there is really no way."
Lin Yi opened the door helplessly. When he raised his eyes, the yellow-clad girl in front of him was instantly stunned by her pure and lovely temperament.
Lin Yi, with a dull look, forgot what to say for a while. He really didn't expect that there was such a stunning woman in the world, whose appearance was even three points better than Qiu Luoxue.
"This young man... I'm really sorry, we wanted to use the excuse of drinking water..."
Being stared at by Lin Yi, the girl smiled awkwardly.
"Ahem!"
At this moment, the man in white behind the girl stepped forward politely and clasped his fists towards Lin Yi: "Brother, can I have some water to drink?"
"Ah? Ah! There is water, there is a well inside, please please please..."
Lin Yi came back to his senses and quickly made way, posing a gesture of invitation.
Seeing this, the girl smiled happily and waved to the person behind her. The white little hand between the pale yellow sleeves, every time it waved, would move Lin Yi's heart to tremble.
Really a beautiful woman...
Lin Yi was extremely shocked. He felt that he was going to melt when he saw this girl.
He had lived for hundreds of years, and he had never had such a heartbeat. For a moment, a silent cry suddenly rang in his heart.
Maybe, this is love! !
...
Soon, several men came to the yard, took out portable kettles one after another, and began to fish for well water. The girl and the man in white were settling the old, weak, sick and disabled outside the gate. The gentle and friendly temperament of the woman in yellow shank once again made the deer in Lin Yi's heart run wildly...
"Um, I'm Lin Yi, may I know your name?"
Lin Yi shook the two bangs scattered on his forehead and smiled, revealing a row of small white teeth.
His grinning face made everyone see the situation clearly. This was Sima Zhao's intention, and passers-by knew it.
Although Lin Yi was wearing a civilian coarse linen shirt at the moment and looked ordinary, the woman was still respectful and smiled calmly: "My name is Jiang Chen, and this is my brother Jiang Xiaofan."
"Oh, Jiang Chen, the name is as good as the person, nice, nice!"
Lin Yi grinned, and had never heard of the name Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen and Jiang Xiaofan are one of the few wealthy families in the Beichen Empire. In particular, the business empire they built together was often talked about in the outside world, and their looks were also amazing.
Such an outstanding brother and sister have always remained single, which makes many people have a lot of imagination and heated discussions.
But the person in front of them has never heard of their names. I think he is also a hermit who lives far away from the world. At least in the eyes of Jiang Chen and Jiang Xiaofan, they think so at the moment.
Seeing the large group of people behind them, there are at least a thousand people. Lin Yi couldn't help but be curious: "Why did you run to this barren mountain with so many people?"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen looked complicated and hesitated.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaofan stepped forward and said with a calm smile: "We are businessmen. Now the world is in turmoil and everyone is in danger, so I want to bring my family to the mountains to find a secluded place to avoid the limelight for a while."
"Well, just to avoid the world, you stay here. This place is located in the deepest part of the Shiwan Mountains. There is no water source in the surrounding mountains for dozens of miles, and there are no rare and exotic plants. It will not attract anyone's attention. You stay here, I guarantee it is absolutely safe!"
Hearing Lin Yi's words, Jiang Xiaofan smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Brother, I appreciate your kindness, but I still think it is not safe enough..."
"How could it be! You have to believe me, this is the most secluded place in the Shiwan Mountains. I explored it many times before I finally chose to settle here. And you don't have to be afraid of danger. I will stay here to protect you forever!"
As he said, Lin Yi blinked at Jiang Chen, who looked confused.
In fact, Jiang Chen and his men moved their positions this time to leave the Shiwan Mountains and go to Xiangzhou, where the news was the most informed, in order to find Bai Chen's whereabouts.
After hearing that Bai Chen became famous in one battle and disappeared, the two of them have been worried.
But they couldn't tell the strange man in front of them about this matter...
"Sir, I appreciate your kindness. We still prefer to go to a remote place and not disturb you here. Moreover, the terrain here is too low-lying. It is not only extremely difficult to build a house and courtyard, but also water will accumulate on rainy days. It is really not easy to live for a long time." Jiang Xiaofan repeatedly declined. Seeing that people drank water and quenched their thirst, they were ready to leave and continue to look for the whereabouts of the benefactor.
Seeing this, Lin Yi hurriedly shouted: "Hey, don't leave yet, it's just building a house, I will help you, I am very capable! And the low-lying terrain, you don't have to worry about it at all..." Lin Yi was anxious and suddenly raised his hand to point to the distance: "See, that hilltop, I just need to dig a river there, and the rainwater will flow to other places along the river, and it will definitely not cause any inconvenience to you!"
"You..."
Jiang Xiaofan was stunned, and his brows gradually twisted.
When their eyes met, Jiang Xiaofan's eyes were full of vigilance. Lin Yi saw it and smiled awkwardly: "Haha, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I'm not a bad person, really, I don't even step on an ant to death, I'm a kind person."
"You stepped on it to death." The man behind Jiang Xiaofan pointed at Lin Yi's feet with a confused look on his face.
Hearing this, Lin Yi looked down and saw that an ant had been crushed under his feet. He was shocked and squatted down in pain. With trembling hands, he pinched an ant's leg and burst into tears: "Oh my God, little ant, how could you die like this? How can I live the rest of my life in peace——"
Jiang Xiaofan: "..."
Jiang Chen: "..."
Facing this extremely "warm-hearted" good man, the Jiang brothers and sisters really had a headache. Just when Jiang Xiaofan was thinking about how to tactfully refuse his kindness, the door in the distance was suddenly pushed open.
Bai Chen was seen leaning against the door with a pale face, his eyes were dark and he looked very embarrassed, but he had a heart-warming smile on his face.
"Bai Chen!"
Seeing his benefactor in such a miserable state, Jiang Chen's hands trembled, and under Lin Yi's stunned gaze, he ran directly towards Bai Chen.
