On the other side, Lin Qian and the others were taken by the driver to one of the most famous barbecue restaurants in Yang City.
So many people?
"Sir, this is our most popular barbecue place. Business is booming every day," the waiter said.
"Let’s go somewhere else. With this many people, when will we ever get a table?" Yan Kongyue exclaimed, feeling overwhelmed by the crowd.
The driver then took them to another street, finding a barbecue restaurant that was relatively less crowded.
Lin Qian, feeling lazy to order, handed the owner five yuan and said, "Boss, just grill us whatever is good here."
"Sure thing!"
Quickly, skewers of grilled meat started arriving at their table one after another.
Just as they were enjoying their meal, a loud voice from the next table interrupted them. "Hey? What’s going on?"
Yan Kongyue looked up abruptly to see a thin, small elderly woman holding a large bag, looking helplessly at a big guy sitting nearby.
The big guy had had a few drinks; he was bald with tattooed arms. As he stood up, he swayed slightly, causing the old lady to take a step back in fright.
Yan Kongyue had already put down his skewer and was watching the old lady intently.
However, once the Flower Arm Brother steadied himself, he grabbed a stool and placed it behind the old lady. "Auntie, take a break! Oh, you’re just collecting bottles? Let me help!" He then took the bag from her hands and started collecting bottles from around the area.
Yan Kongyue smiled slightly; this guy was quite interesting. He didn’t look like a good person at first glance, yet he was doing something that many would shy away from.
Lin Qian and the others quickly cleared all the bottles from their table. Huo Jingyu ran into the barbecue shop to get a bowl of noodles for the old lady.
The Flower Arm Brother went around to several outdoor tables nearby, collecting bottles until he had half a bag full before finally making his way to Lin Qian's table.
When Lin Qian handed over the bottles, he casually tossed all the cash from his pocket into the bag as well.
The Flower Arm Brother paused for a moment, then patted Lin Qian on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs-up. "Brother, you’re generous!"
Just then, the boss came out carrying a bowl of noodles.
The old lady was so moved that she didn’t know what to say and kept wiping her tears away.
"Auntie, enjoy your noodles after work!" The Flower Arm Brother said cheerfully, even though he swayed slightly; it was clear he was sober.
"Thank you so much!" she replied gratefully.
The Flower Arm Brother sat down next to her with a small stool and carefully tied up the bag's opening before whispering something in her ear.
The old lady glanced at Lin Qian, wanting to stand up, but was held down by Flower Arm Brother. "Aunt, eat your noodles! Finish your meal before you leave."
Sigh! Noodles! The old lady took the chopsticks and began to eat heartily.
Lin Qian turned her head to take a look and smiled.
As they were about to leave, Yan Kongyue walked over to Flower Arm Brother. "Hey, big brother, can I check your pulse?"
At this, Flower Arm Brother suddenly looked up at Yan Kongyue.
Maybe I can save you!
"W-what did you say?"
The other big brothers nearby straightened up at Yan Kongyue's words.
Just now, when Flower Arm Brother was collecting bottles, everyone’s attention was on him, but only Yan Kongyue noticed that a few people with him were quietly wiping away their tears.
"Give me your hand!"
One of the big brothers quickly stood up and made room for Yan Kongyue.
"You can treat illnesses?" Flower Arm Brother extended his hand to Yan Kongyue and then remembered to ask.
"Don't talk!"
"Oh!"
