Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 44: Petrified on the Spot

Looking at the Li family.

The Li family, originally named Li Qiuchan, was very reserved at this time, "Anything else I’m responsible for?"

"Yes, sister-in-law is responsible for supervision. Cheng Jia, Cheng Ran, Cheng Liangsen, everyone’s meals depend on you. If it gets too busy, Erya and Xiaohua can help out." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"No problem!" Although Li Qiuchan had a big belly now, in ancient times, a pregnant woman not working on the fields was already good enough; doing housework and cooking was completely manageable.

"By the way, after finishing these tasks, you can prepare more firewood; these won’t be arranged uniformly, each household should take care of it themselves."

Alright, that’s about it. Cheng Xiaoxiao temporarily couldn’t think of more precautions, "That’s it for village matters. Those who need to notify their relatives, you can do it today. Dismissed!"

From this moment on, everyone had to get busy.

Once the crowd dispersed, Cheng Xiaoxiao called Qi Fei, handing him two taels of silver, "Take it, quietly go back and check on your parents. Buy some supplements, show them some respect."

Last time, when the elder brother notified the old couple, they insisted on coming to the countryside to see him, afraid of being deceived; they couldn’t be at ease unless they saw their son alive or dead with their own eyes. Indeed, it’s hard for anyone to be at ease with such situations. However, at that time, the town was under tight watch, and there were indeed people spying outside the old couple’s door. The elder brother had to persuade them several times before they gave up the thought of coming to the village.

Now, after so many days, Qi Fei’s funeral was held; no one would believe he was still alive. After a few days, it may not be possible to return, so he should go back to see them now.

Qi Fei looked at the broken silver in his hand, his eyes wet with tears, "Thank you, Boss Xiao!" Words couldn’t express his feelings at this moment.

In fact, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t need to say it; he was planning to go home himself. Such a significant matter, he needed to tell his parents to prepare. What if the town also... he didn’t dare to think, he even wanted to stay longer and take care of his elderly parents.

Then again, thinking about his home alley filled with all sorts of people, he feared leaking information, implicating his parents. He had no choice but to endure until today.

And Boss Xiao’s action completely broke his tense nerves. At this moment, only a soft heart and infinite emotions were left, tears falling uncontrollably. He didn’t want to, he wondered why was he, as a grown man, crying...

Cheng Xiaoxiao smiled lightly, "Look at you, got sand in your eyes!"

"Yes! Just now got some sand in my eyes." How did Boss Xiao understand him so well?

Cheng Xiaoxiao took a handkerchief, handed it over, "Remember when you reach the town, keep out of sight, the people in the streets and alleys all know you. Wait till it’s dark to see your parents."

"Yes, I know."

At this moment, Qi Fei tightly held the soft fragrant handkerchief, secretly decided, he wouldn’t leave, he wanted to be with Cheng Xiaoxiao for a lifetime, to be her front-runner.

He stayed here before to repay a favor.

Now he’s moved and willing!

He realized, Cheng Xiaoxiao wasn’t an ordinary person, her thinking was unusual, any difficult problem seemed easily manageable in her hands. Her thoughts and actions were ambitious and far-reaching, far beyond what the village people can compare, and her leadership was top-notch, even better than his previous bosses.

After sending off Qi Fei, Cheng Xiaoxiao secretly sighed, are young people these days all so emotional?

Then Erya came over and asked, "Sister, are we still delivering meat pies today?"

"Yes! Why not? From now on, one meal in the morning and evening, continue!" Cheng Xiaoxiao believed that it wouldn’t be long before someone would come looking for her.

Erya was puzzled, from the beginning of delivering meals, her sister asked her to deliver food every day and place it under a distant big tree, avoiding villagers’ sight. She wanted to ask why, but every time she wanted to speak, she saw her sister’s expression, knowing she wouldn’t be told.

Alas! She was worried, her sister had secrets she didn’t share with her!

At night, after Erya fell asleep, Cheng Xiaoxiao got up and left the room, quietly closing the door. She sat in the courtyard, sipping the honeysuckle tea she brewed, not bad, not bad. The natural environment in ancient times was better; even the herbal tea was more fragrant.

"Host, the tree-man is here!" The system reminded.

Cheng Xiaoxiao smiled knowingly, she knew that guy couldn’t hold back, took another teacup, poured it full opposite to her...waiting.

After a while, how come no one’s there.

"System?"

"Host, the tree-man is on the roof behind you, cautiously observing, afraid there’s a trap!" The system was speechless, with its 360-degree omnidirectional coverage, could he even hide? It’s really funny.

"People don’t know how powerful you are, be understanding, don’t scare my bodyguard away."

Forget it, he doesn’t show up, just call him out, to avoid hurting someone’s self-esteem.

"Hero on the roof, would you come down and have a talk?"

Leng Qi’s body froze, of course, this girl knew he was here, how did she know, was the food really meant for him?

He’s... it’s too uncanny!

He landed opposite Cheng Xiaoxiao, arms crossed in front of his chest, staring at Cheng Xiaoxiao without blinking.

Cheng Xiaoxiao appeared completely at ease, "Please sit! If you don’t sit, I’d have to tilt my head up to talk to you, strains my neck."

Leng Qi was speechless, never met such a girl before, wasn’t she afraid of a strange man with martial arts entering her house?

Is it the ignorance that leads to fearlessness?

No way! She noticed him early...

This person is so stubborn, Cheng Xiaoxiao felt a bit annoyed, "If you don’t want to talk properly, just roll back and tell your master to stop guarding my house’s big tree. If there’s anything he wants to know, he can just ask me directly."

Leng Qi was shocked, this this....

This girl knows?

"Don’t question how I know, just do as I say if you don’t want to be punished."

Leng Qi became even more frightened, does this girl possess mind-reading skills!

Was the boss assigning him some top-secret mission, what if he exposed himself? Would it be considered failure?

Leng Qi no longer dared to underestimate Cheng Xiaoxiao, reluctantly sat opposite, waiting for the female Rakshasa across him to speak.

Yes! Leng Qi already categorized Cheng Xiaoxiao as a dangerous character.

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t beat around the bush, "I have two things for you. First, you know what recently happened around me, I hope you remind your master, this disaster is likely to happen, let him be prepared in advance, because of our friendship.

Second, I want to borrow you. I know you’re highly skilled in martial arts, with exceptional Qinggong. If you want to continue staying by my side, or should I say continue monitoring me, then you need to help teach a few kids at my home martial arts. It doesn’t have to be too advanced, just capable of handling riffraff will do, of course, this requires your master’s consent."

After speaking, she looked at Leng Qi...

At this moment, Leng Qi was completely petrified!

She knew who his master was!

She knew he was here to monitor her!

She could track his movements anytime.

She still wanted to enlist him as a martial arts instructor?

He was a Hidden Guard, an Elite Dark Guard, responsible for assassination and tracking? This girl acted completely against common sense, completely overthrowing his perception.

All of this was too surreal, it took him a long time to recover!

Cheng Xiaoxiao spoke again, "Of course, I’ll give you time to consult your master, and pass on what I just said to him."

Leng Qi replied dazedly, "Which...phrase?"

This person has memory problems!

Impatiently said: "That if he wants surveillance, do it openly, no need to do it sneakily. Since he’s on my territory, he has to follow my rules. If you’re unwilling to teach martial arts, find someone willing to."
