CHAPTER 563: CHAPTER 563: THE TALL MAN UNCLE

"What uncle are you talking about?" Duan Yiyi asked curiously.

Qin Yi chuckled, "I got the Netherflame Stick from him."

"Huh?" Duan Yiyi was surprised, "Then he must be a master from beyond our world."

Qin Yi smiled, "Yes, he really deserves the title of a master."

Qin Yi drove to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities, then picked up two cases of national liquor. Originally planning to leave, he reconsidered and got a case of Erguotou, and then went next door to the diner to pack some meals.

An hour later, they drove up to the abandoned bridge.

"Hubby, the sage you mentioned lives here?" Duan Yiyi was full of doubt. Shouldn’t a sage live in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers?

Qin Yi nodded, opened the car door, and got out. He walked under the bridge where the makeshift house still stood and shouted, "Uncle, I’ve come to visit you."

After waiting a while, there was no response.

Qin Yi stepped forward and found the door bolted with an iron chain, and the person was gone, which left him a bit disappointed.

Duan Yiyi and others approached, curiously examining this makeshift small house in front of them.

"Hubby, how could a sage live in such a place?"

Qin Yi grinned, pointing to the surroundings and the rushing river, "Isn’t it nice here? There are mountains and water, and it’s spacious."

Lin Hongzhuang said, "Are you sure this place is for a sage and not a beggar?"

"Linlin," Xia Yanbing shook her head at her, "don’t speak like that. Qin Yi got the Netherflame Stick from this very uncle."

Lin Hongzhuang opened her mouth wide, full of surprise.

"To easily give away something like the Netherflame Stick shows that this uncle is indeed not an ordinary person. Sages certainly have their quirks, so living here makes sense." Liu Yiren said seriously.

Qin Yi laughed, "Stop guessing; Uncle is indeed a homeless man. But his mental state surpasses many sages. As for the Netherflame Stick, Uncle picked it up as junk and used it as a door prop."

The girls suddenly gaped, dumbfounded.

Qin Yi and the others waited until noon, but the uncle never returned.

Qin Yi sighed, "Looks like we won’t see Uncle today; we’ll come another day."

Qin Yi stepped forward, took the liquor and meals from the car, and placed them at the door, planning to leave with the girls.

"Help! Help!"

Suddenly, a cry for help came from afar. Qin Yi’s expression changed slightly, recognizing it as the uncle’s voice, and quickly turned to look.

In the distance, two figures were chasing each other.

A limping man was running ahead, and Qin Yi recognized him as the homeless uncle. Behind him was a chubby woman, wielding a rolling pin, in pursuit.

"You crippled fool, stop running! You took advantage of me and now want to bolt? If you don’t come with me today, I’ll break your other leg..." The woman was fat, with dark skin, clearly a formidable woman.

Qin Yi and the others were dumbfounded.

"Hubby, isn’t this the uncle you mentioned?" Xia Yanbing recalled that Qin Yi had said the uncle had a leg problem.

Qin Yi nodded, feeling a bit awkward. Just a moment ago, he was saying the uncle was a sage, but now it turns out he’s a scoundrel taking advantage of women without taking responsibility.

"Hahaha... This sage uncle runs quite fast, like an old rabbit," Duan Yiyi said mischievously.

"Yiyi, it’s not nice to say that."

Duan Yiyi pursed her lips, "What’s wrong? Didn’t you hear that madam say that sage uncle took advantage of her and tried to run?"

Lin Hongzhuang looked at Qin Yi with disdain, "This doesn’t match the sage uncle you described."

Qin Yi awkwardly scratched his nose, Uncle really wasn’t doing his reputation any favors.

Despite his limp, the homeless uncle ran quite swiftly and soon reached them, spotting Qin Yi and the group.

"Young man, it’s you! Help me stop this woman," the homeless uncle recognized Qin Yi and urgently asked for help.

Actually, Qin Yi didn’t need to do anything as the woman with the rolling pin had already stopped. Qin Yi and others had an extraordinary aura, clearly not ordinary people, and though the woman was fierce, she wasn’t foolish enough to offend the wrong people.

Qin Yi stepped forward, holding the homeless uncle, and as he looked down, he couldn’t help but laugh. Wow, he had run out of one shoe.

"Uncle, what’s going on?"

The homeless man didn’t answer Qin Yi’s question, instead staring blankly at Xia Yanbing and the others.

"Are... are all these women yours?"

Qin Yi was slightly taken aback, pointing at Xia Yanbing, "This is my wife, Xia Yanbing; the rest are my family."

"Wow, young man, you have the style I had in my youth. The women around you are like fairies."

Qin Yi chuckled, "You still haven’t told me what’s going on with you?"

The uncle, gasping for breath, was exhausted from all the running, especially for someone with a leg problem. Once he caught his breath, he glanced at the rolling-pin-wielding woman far away, "She’s the proprietress I told you about last time; she’s infatuated with my good looks and is forcing me to marry her."

Qin Yi: "..."

The girls: "..."

Everyone was utterly dumbfounded.

It took a long time for Qin Yi to regain his composure, "But I just heard that woman say you took advantage of her and tried to flee, which is why she’s chasing you."

"Nonsense, am I that kind of person?" the uncle said angrily, "Heaven and earth bear witness, I swear I didn’t take advantage of her."

"You come to my shop every day, fixing things without mention, bringing in customers, and helping with plates and dishes, yet you dare say you didn’t take advantage of me?" The woman pointed her rolling pin at the homeless man, shouting loudly.

The homeless man was speechless for a moment, then said, "Would you be reasonable, woman? How is helping called taking advantage?"

Qin Yi and the others were also baffled, as it all sounded like the uncle was being helpful, so why was he accused of taking advantage?

The woman angrily shouted, "You’re at my shop every day, and the old customers have gotten to know you, thinking you’re my man. Now, if you run, people will think I’m fickle! How is it not taking advantage of me, and what is it then?"

"You’re unreasonable; I just helped out for a meal a day. I can’t control what others think. Since you say I’m ruining your reputation, I won’t come back. Isn’t that enough?"

"No way," the fierce woman shouted, "since everyone misunderstands, you have to take responsibility to the end."

"You..." The homeless uncle was furious, thumping his chest to calm himself, and said to Qin Yi, "Young man, say something for me."

Qin Yi looked at the fierce woman, then at the homeless uncle, earnestly saying, "Uncle, I think the lady is right. Since everyone thinks you’re her man, you should take responsibility to the end."

The uncle suddenly lifted his head, eyes bulging like a toad, looking at Qin Yi incredulously, "Which side are you on?"
