Chapter 102.1: 青年
[Youth]
High ranking Yamen attendant hearing that Chen Xing said so, his eyes surfaced a surprise, he did not think that the owner of this small restaurant and that Chen family actually have this kind of preordained fate.
Perhaps the shock on the face of the high Yamen officers is too obvious, Chen Xing hesitated for a moment yet still continued to explain: “I did not agree to their request, the Old Master Chen let his people pressure the people below, do not let others people to supply rice and ingredients to us. Fortunately, a few days ago, with the help of a good man, our shop was able to come back to life and survive for a few more days. I just don’t know if it was because of this that we incurred this disaster.”
Chen Xing’s these words were reasonable and justified, the high ranking Yamen officers also remembered a period of time ago this small restaurant had no rice to cook, naturally regarding his words, they only believe three tenths. He was not in a position to comment on other people’s family matters, but arson cases were always serious cases that need to be investigated, so with a straight face he looked at the gentle-faced little boss in front of him and assured him, “Thank you for this offered information, and little boss, please you rest assured, that we will definitely catch the arsonist as soon as possible and give you an explanation.”
“Then, thank you, Officer.”
Seeing that the high-ranking officer was about to leave with the rest of the men, Chen Xing hurriedly gave them the four packets of dried meat that he had just instructed the shop’s workers to pack. When they couldn’t decline it and left with the jerky, Chen Xing looked at the four people’s backs and muttered, “I hope they can catch the murderer earlier, or else I’ll always have a feeling of being on edge.”
Gu Lang glanced at the place where Chen Xing see and said in a low voice, “I believe they will catch the person soon, so don’t worry! After the shop closes, I’ll ask Qiu Jiu and the others to look for that man, if they can find them, it might be clear. Later, we will recall it together and I will draw a few portraits of that person out, so we can find that person.”
Chen Xing felt that what Gu Lang said was reasonable, nodded and did not get entangled, “Hn.”
Gu Lang saw Chen Xing’s face was much better, and looked not so entangled anymore just like now. The corner of his lips also followed to reveal a smile. However, this smile stopped when his attention swept over the wound on his wrist, he almost forgot the most important thing.
“We don’t have anything to do right now, why don’t we draw the portrait now, so that we don’t have a biased memory of that person’s face later.”
Chen Xing was still trying to recall the man’s appearance, fearing that he had missed something and would not be able to explain it clearly to Gu Lang later, when he felt his hand being held, and then he was directly confronted with Gu Lang’s expression of pain on his face. “There is no hurry, I will give you some medicine first, lest your hand hurts later.”
Against Gu Lang’s gaze, Chen Xing always felt a few minutes uncomfortable, this was not a big deal injury, just a bruise, he felt there is no need to make such a big deal over a minor issue.
Gu Lang, however, was not approved as he shook his head, looking at the disobedient Chen Xing and said: “Apply the medicine, only then I could feel more at ease.”
Chen Xing blushed, did not argue with Gu Lang any more, and could only allow him to hold his hand, and carefully applied the ointment.
Looking at his own wrist, on that thin layer, Chen Xing thought that this medicine is simply too magical and effective. He always felt that once it applied on, originally there are a few scorching painful wounds, now all of a sudden no longer. He was too curious so he turned his wrist. He was looking at Gu Lang who lowered his head and put away the ointment and said: “You, this ointment, where do you buy it? How can be it’s so effective? After you apply it, you can’t feel the pain.”
Gu Lang lowered his eyebrows, slowly put away the porcelain bottle and faintly said, “I bought it when I was outside. That’s right, let’s draw a portrait, so that we don’t run out of time later.”
Hearing Gu Lang said it like that, Chen Xing did not have much to dwell on, sat beside him and accompanied him to recall the appearance of the person today, to draw that person’s appearance. Chen Xing was worried that he could not remember, therefore he drew badly, who knows that he did not say anything, Gu Lang took a few strokes to draw the youth’s appearance, to let the person beside him dumbfounded as he looked at it.
After Gu Lang finished the first painting, he directly took it in front of Chen Xing and asked him, “Do you think it looks like?”
Chen Xing thought that this not only looked similar, but looked very same,okay? He nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, while not sparing words of praise: “I have not seen before only with the ink and brush, you can paint so alike to the real person. You are simply too awesome.”
As Gu Lang listened to Chen Xing’s genuine and sincere praise, a smile appeared on his face, and just as the two of them were looking at each other and smiling, the atmosphere was very warm and welcoming, a figure rushed in from outside the door, and as soon as he came in, he rushed straight to this side of the counter.
“Boss, I’ve inquired about some useful information.”
