Chapter 15: Outside the Home

Jiang Xun never expected that what had been hidden in the room he had just moved in was a girl who was estimated to be only twelve years old.

He was stunned for a moment, but after reacting, he stared at the little girl condescendingly, and said in a dignified tone, "Who are you? Could it be that you have come to steal money?"

The little girl just opened her eyes wide and looked at Jiang Xun pitifully.

Seeing this, Jiang Xun could only continue to say in a more unquestionable tone: "Since you came, don't blame me for being merciless, I will arrest you and take you to the yamen now, so that you can't eat and go around!"

The little girl immediately stepped forward and hugged Jiang Xun's leg and said, "My lord's life, my lord's life, you must not take me to the Yamen! If you take me to the Yamen, I will have no way to live." ”

Jiang Xun hurriedly squatted down, grabbed the little girl's hands so that she no longer held her legs, and asked, "What do you mean by this? If there is any inside story, why don't you say it?"

The little girl looked at Jiang Xun's bandaged hand that grabbed her, and then turned to look at Jiang Xun's bright eyes, and couldn't help blushing, so she hurriedly struggled to get rid of Jiang Xun's hand, and looked at Jiang Xun like a flood beast.

What does this mean, why do you look at a bad person? Jiang Xun was puzzled, could it be that he really looked like a bad person?

Jiang Xun touched his face, and suddenly remembered what kind of dust Chu Enoch had smeared on his face, could it be that his face now looks particularly terrible to others? Jiang Xun hurriedly wiped his face with the cloth on the table next to him, and then continued to say solemnly: "Since you are unwilling to say anything, then the only way to arrest you is to take you to the yamen." ”

Hearing this, the little girl hurriedly said: "I came here from Shangkui City to flee, passing by this place there is no place to sleep, and it is really difficult to sleep, so I sneaked in to rest under the bed for a while." ”

"That's not credible, is it? Jiang Xun said.

"Why?" the little girl stared at Jiang Xun.

"First, my Yuan country is rich and the people are safe, and Shangkui City is a rich land, a city of grain can feed the world for a year, how can there be a 'escape'? Second, Shangkui City is a little far away from here, and the ordinary 'escape' should go to the next town, why should you a little girl flee here? Third, forget if you are sleepy, why sneak into the inn, if you are caught, haven't you thought about the consequences?" Jiang Xun smiled. From this, it can be seen that there are only two possibilities, one is that you are here to steal something, and second, there must be a secret in it, so now, do you say it or not?"

The little girl opened her mouth wide and looked at Jiang Xun in disbelief.

"Say it. Jiang Xun said.

"How can I say?" the little girl looked at Jiang Xun and said, "How do I know that you are not 'their' person?"

Jiang Xun frowned, and then the door of the room opened, and Chu Enoch walked in, and then he saw the scene in front of him: Jiang Xun squatted and looked at a little girl who was only twelve years old kneeling on the ground, the soul shadow snake was still wrapped around the little girl's left arm, and the little girl was looking at Jiang Xun pitifully.

"Jiang Xun, I didn't expect you to be such a person with bad tastes, could it be that your psychology has been distorted?" Chu Enoch said with a smile.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Xun's face turned red in an instant, and then the soul shadow snake on the little girl's left arm disappeared, Jiang Xun defended: "I just found out that this little girl was hiding in our room, and then I arrested her and asked her." ”

"That's it, where did you find him?" asked Chu Enoch with a smile.

"In ......" Jiang Xun was speechless for a moment when asked, how could he forget what this guy's soul shadow ability was the so-called "foreknowledge"?

"You know everything, so why bother asking me. Jiang Xun said dejectedly.

Hearing this, Chu Enoch walked up to the little girl with a laugh and said, "Let me guess, are you from Shangkui City?"

"Huh?" the little girl froze.

"Let me guess if you escaped from something?"

The little girl blinked, looked at Chu Enoch in disbelief, and said, "Who are you?

"That's right, big brother, I'm a person who practices mind reading, and I can easily read what a person is thinking, as if your next sentence is-"

"Impossible, it must be fake!" Chu Enoch and the little girl said in unison.

The little girl stared at the unfathomable man in front of her with wide eyes, and there was a kind of fear born from her heart.

"How is it, do you believe it?" asked Chu Enoch with a smile.

Jiang Xun on the side covered his face and shook his head when he saw this, expressing deep disdain for Chu Enoch's behavior of coaxing children, but he had to admit that this was really more effective than his simple question. Wait, his soul shadow ability seems to be a mind reading in a sense, but it always feels weird.

And the little girl was already a little soft on Chu Enoch, and she asked softly, "If I tell you, do you promise that you won't tell anyone else?"

"Yes, I promise. Chu Enoch said.

Then the little girl actually laughed: "You liar!"

"Huh?"

"If you can really 'read minds,' why would you ask me. The little girl said.

"I'm only here to ask you because I want to hear what you say, not because I want to say what you're thinking about yourself, so that you can save a little face. After all, if people don't want to say their hearts and things are exposed by others, then they will inevitably be hurt. Chu Enoch smiled calmly.

After Chu Enoch said this, the little girl shook again.

And just when Jiang Xun felt that the little girl was about to say it, Chu Enoch stood up and stretched, and then went to lie on the bed.

"Since you don't want to say anything, then you can go. ”

Jiang Xun and the little girl were stunned, and then the little girl asked in disbelief, "Really?"

"Yes, you can go, don't disturb my sleep. Chu Enoch said lazily.

"Well, I'll go first. The little girl didn't know what he wanted to do, but how could she give up such a good opportunity, so she ran out like a mouse caught stealing food.

After the little girl came out of the room, Jiang Xun looked at Chu Enoch who was lying on the bed and said, "What are you planning?"

Chu Enoch didn't speak, and then there was a snoring sound.

Jiang Xun shook his head, then looked at Chu Ennuo's sleeping appearance, sighed, and said, "There is only one bed in this room, how can these three people sleep." ”

Then Jiang Xun saw that Chu Ennuo's body had obviously moved to the side, vacating a space.

Jiang Xun didn't know what to say about this guy, so he sighed after looking left and right, and said, "You just rest, I'll go see what Mr. Xu is doing." ”

"Is it okay to put on makeup before going out?" Chu Enoch's voice like an old ghost came from behind Jiang Xun.

"You guy......" Jiang Xun was completely speechless.

And when Jiang Xun just came out of the room, Mr. Xu happened to come over.

"Mr. Xu, you're a little late. Jiang Xun said with a smile.

"I just talked to my boss about what happened in the last few days, so I was late. Mr. Xu smiled: "What about you, why did you come out?"

"I just feel a little stuffy, come out to breathe, by the way, did Mr. Xu see a little girl running out in a hurry outside?"

"Yes, the boss is still very strange, where is there a little girl who has never seen it?" Mr. Xu looked at Jiang Xun and asked, "You know?"

"Sort of. ”

"Oh, yes. Mr. Xu said: "It's better for you to be less presumptuous now, and the story about you has now been compiled into various versions and told by the storyteller, so it is better not to do anything to attract the attention of those with bad intentions." ”

"Yes, I see. Jiang Xun nodded, and then said, "Now I go down and take a look, will there be any problems?" Or is there any abnormality down there?"

Mr. Xu smiled: "It's safe down there now, at least in my observation, there is indeed no danger, and if there is danger-" Mr. Xu glanced at the room behind Jiang Xun: "He shouldn't let you come out." ”

Jiang Xun immediately understood, said "thank you" and went downstairs.

At this time, a light cough came from the room, and then Chu Enoch opened the door and walked out, staring at Mr. Xu up and down, which frightened the latter a little: "Brother Chu, what's wrong with you? Could it be that I did something wrong?"

"Thisβ€”" Chu Enoch sighed and said, "I'm hungry." ”

β€œ......”

Over there, when Jiang Xun went downstairs, there were a lot fewer people in the inn, and there were only a few people left, a tall and strong like a standing bear and a thin like a monkey only a human height, I don't know what to do while eating, not far away there were four middle-aged men just seated, laughing and saying something to each other, Jiang Xunsheng knew that he couldn't stare at others, so it was easy to attract attention, so he slowly walked from the stairs to the door.

At this time, Jiang Xun noticed that the leaves of a tall tree outside the door had gradually withered yellow, and then he remembered that it was almost autumn, but autumn was coming, and he was no longer looking at the same autumn scene, the outside was full of scenes he was not familiar with, and there was an inexplicable sense of loneliness for a while. At this time, Jiang Xun deeply realized what the state of mind of those who described sorrow in the past. Because they don't know when the leaves will return to their roots, just as they don't know when and where they are going.

Jiang Xun didn't even know what he was thinking now, he only knew that he really had the urge to cry now, but he didn't know where to cry and who to cry to, so he had to sigh silently, and when he turned around and wanted to go back upstairs, he suddenly heard what Grandpa Xun often said to him:

"Walk slowly, don't rush. ”

Jiang Xun turned to look, but there was no one behind him, only falling dead leaves, and unfamiliar streets.
