The man continued to say: "The death of Prince Jin, no one had witnessed it with their own eyes. No one had also seen his dead body. Some people believe that Prince Jin is still alive. Some people think that he is dead. But no one can confirm this fact."
Someone in the audience asked: “If Prince Jin is really dead, will Prince Xiao become the crown prince?"
The man smiled mysteriously: “The world keeps changing. No one can tell what will happen in the future. Especially the affairs in the imperial family, it can change every day, so no one can tell."
Hu Feng looked at the teacup on the table in front of him. A few green leaves were floating on the yellow tea. The calm surface of the tea kept shaking due to the loud noises in the hall.
A violent storm in his cold and deep eyes suddenly began.
Bai Zhi called the young waiter: "Wrapped this dried fruit, we will take them out." She said then handed the money to the waiter.
The young waiter rushed to wrap the dried fruits. Awu's face also doesn't look so good. After hearing Bai Zhi's words, he stiffly said: "I also want to go back early."
After the young waiter packed the dried fruit, Bai Zhi pulled Ru'er, she also grabbed Hu Feng's hand with her other hand to go outside.
On the way back to the village, Hu Feng didn't say another word. He closed his eyes and rested. He seemed to be quiet as usual, but his tightly clenched fists that were resting on his thigh were pale.
He did not say anything, so she didn't ask.
If he wants to say something, he will naturally say it. But if he doesn't want to say it, it means it will cause trouble.
After returning home, Hu Feng went back straight to his room.
When Hu Changlin saw him like this, he said: “What happened to him? He looks unhappy.”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “No, maybe he is tired. His head injury is still not completely healed."
Hu Changlin didn't find it strange, he simply smiled and asked: "How did the selling skins go?"
Bai Zhi hurriedly took out the silver tickets and bundle of silver coins: "They were sold for a total of 360 silvers. We have three people, so each of us will have 100 silvers. Li Cheng and Wu Jiang also made contributions, so let's give them 20 silvers each. The remaining 20 silvers, let's treat other people that help with some foods and drinks."
Hu Changlin naturally has no other opinion and just nodded his head happily.
However, Awu was shocked and repeatedly waved his hand: "This can't be done. I didn't do much. Just give me the same amount as Li Cheng. How can I dare to ask for 100 silvers."
Bai Zhi put the silver tickets in his hand and smiled. “How can you say you didn't do much? If you didn't arrive on time, Hu Feng and I will be either eaten by the wolves or tigers. To be frank, you contributed the most, so I think 100 is actually a little less."
Hu Changlin also opened his mouth and said: “What Zhi'er said is true. You accept it with ease. This is what you deserve. We can't simply take advantage of you."
Awu, in the end, nodded his head: "Okay, then I will accept it.”
Bai Zhi said: “The future is still long, our days will still get better and better."
Awu repeatedly nodded his head. He was very happy inside his heart. Since that incident happened 3 years ago, he, his wife and daughter lived day by day in hiding. He had never lived a comfortable life since then. He only knows how to fight, so he couldn't make enough money. During winter, they don't have money to buy winter clothes or quilts. They could only hug each other to warm themselves. Even when their daughter was sick, they don't have money to bring her to the medical hall, so they could only watch and worry.
If he didn’t meet Bai Zhi and Hu Feng, he really doesn't know how will their days go by.
