The shopkeeper seemed to have broken his leg and was limping when he walked. He needed the help of Xiao Er, and his eye seemed to be injured, and he was wearing an eye patch on his left eye.
Compared with yesterday, the shopkeeper looked extremely depressed.
"If you need anything, girl, you can tell us at any time." Seeing Lu Qiao's sizing eyes, the shopkeeper immediately stopped and said in a respectful tone.
Lu Qiao was a little surprised, but still said: "Thank you shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper quickly waved his hands, with a look of panic on his face, "Young lady, you are welcome, please don't say that."
Seeing this, Lu Qiao became even more puzzled.
Why did the shopkeeper become so polite after only one night?
She couldn't figure it out, so she didn't think about it any more, and went back to the house with her clothes in her arms.
Watching her go away, the shopkeeper secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and said to Xiao Er: "It's good to take care of this girl, don't neglect her, and make sure she doesn't live uncomfortable."
"Yes." Xiao Er was a little surprised why he suddenly changed his attitude towards this girl.
Yesterday I was still peeking out the window at people taking a bath.
How did he know that before dawn this morning, the shopkeeper was broken into the house and beaten up.
Not only is his leg broken, but he is also blind in one eye. The lives of his wife and children are still in his hands. How dare he be rude and respectful?
The shopkeeper thought of the tragedy this morning, only to feel pain in his eyes and legs again.
The clothes that had been aired overnight were already dry. When Lu Qiao returned to the house, before Si Yi came back, she took out a needle and thread to mend.
Not long after, Si Yi came back. Looking at the girl who was sitting on a chair mending clothes, he paused, stepped forward, put a gold ingot on the table in front of her, and then explained in a slow voice: "These two Day, you will live here well, if you want to eat, let them make it for you, I will return in two days."
Seeing this, Lu Qiao was a little surprised, where did he get the money?
Si Yi seemed to see her doubts, and explained, "This is a deposit from a rich family."
When Lu Qiao heard this, she was both worried about him and afraid of living here alone. After struggling for a moment, she said: "Then you have to be careful."
"Don't worry, the life of the shopkeeper's wife and child is still in my hands. They won't do anything to you. On the contrary, they will protect you." Si Yi could see the fear in her heart at a glance, and comforted her .
"What did you do?" Lu Qiao was very surprised, no wonder the shopkeeper was so polite when he saw her just now.
"You don't need to know so much, you just need to live in peace." Si Yi didn't want to say more.
After Lu Qiao heard the words, she didn't ask any more questions, but she still asked, "Is your hand much better now?"
"It's all right." Si said.
Lu Qiao didn't believe it, but she knew his temperament, so she didn't ask any more, but handed him the ingot on the table, "You keep it for yourself, I have three taels of silver left from the five taels I asked you for yesterday." Two, enough."
"I told you to hold it, so you take it." Si Yi frowned, a little displeased.
After Lu Qiao heard the words, she had no choice but to put away the ingot, thinking in her heart that even if it was left with her temporarily, she would return it to him at that time.
Seeing that he was about to go out, she quickly followed to the door and looked at him helplessly, "Si Yi, you must come back safely."
As soon as Si turned around and glanced at her, seeing that her eyes were full of worry, he suddenly felt a little irritable.
No one has ever worried about him so much.
He paused, and said lightly: "Don't worry, you won't be allowed to go back to Xiangzhou alone." After that, he didn't stay long, and walked away quickly.
Lu Qiao supported the door, watching his back as he walked away, feeling a lot of emotions for a moment.
Did he think that she was worried about him because she was afraid of going back to Xiangzhou alone?
Although there is also this factor, she didn't think so much just now, she just hoped that he would come back safely.
After the company left, Lu Qiao went back to her room and continued to mend her clothes.
The right sleeves of Si Yi's outer shirt and unlined garment were damaged, and it took her some effort to mend them.
After patching up Si Yi's shirt, she also patched up her trousers that were torn by Si Yi.
After finishing these, she has nothing to do.
Although Si Yi told her to live here with peace of mind, she was still not at ease.
On the one hand, I am worried about Si Yi, and on the other hand, it is also because of the strange environment and people here.
Except for eating, she rarely goes out.
After two days like this, in the early morning of the third day, while she was still asleep, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
She turned her head and looked at the window, seeing that it was still dark outside, she couldn't help but "thump" in her heart, there must be some bad people, right?
Hearing that the knock on the door continued, she asked vigilantly, "Who?"
"It's me." Si Yi's familiar voice came through the door.
Lu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time was very happy.
She threw off the quilt, got out of bed and ran to open the door.
"Si Yi."
Opening the door and looking at the young man standing outside, Lu Qiao was pleasantly surprised, "You're back."
Si was stunned for a moment, seeing her joyful face, suddenly felt a very strange and strange feeling in his heart.
He has gone on countless missions, but every time he comes back, he is deserted. There has never been a time like this time. There is a person waiting for him to come back. Seeing him come back, the joy on his face seems to overflow .
He closed his dark eyes slightly, and looked up at her for a moment.
She was wearing unlined clothing, her long hair was loose, and she stepped on the ground barefoot, apparently just got up from the bed.
"Well." He responded in a low voice, and asked, "How are you these two days?"
Hearing this, Lu Qiao was a little flattered, she turned sideways quickly, and after he stepped in, she closed the door, then followed behind him and said, "I'm fine, but you're not here, I'm still a little scared, so I didn't go anywhere .
How about you, are things going well? The injury on the hand is not involved, is it? "
The room was not big, and after hearing what she said, Si suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Lu Qiao, who followed him step by step, couldn't stop, and bumped her head against his back.
"Boom!"
Lu Qiao felt as if her head had hit a rock, and it hurt a little.
She exclaimed in pain.
As soon as Si turned around, seeing this, the corners of his mouth twitched, "What an idiot, don't you even look when you walk?"
Lu Qiao rubbed her sore forehead, her tone unconsciously tinged with anger, "How would I know that you stopped suddenly?"
Si paused, "The room is so big, where else can I go?"
Lu Qiao choked.
It is true, the room is so big, he will stop at any time, it is she who is too careless.
"I am stupid." She lowered her head and said with some embarrassment.
When Si saw her like this, he chuckled lightly, "It's good that you know."
When Lu Qiao heard this, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him fixedly.
"What are you looking at?" Si Yi was very uncomfortable being stared at by her straight eyes.
"Si Yi, you actually laughed." Lu Qiao said strangely.
Si Yi turned his head in some embarrassment, "When will I not laugh?"
"You don't smile at any time." Lu Qiao said seriously, and suddenly paused when she thought of something. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
