Chapter 409: Outsiders
Ah Kui instinctively closed her mouth and turned her eyes to look, but saw Qin Su looking at her, her eyes were as cold as the sharpest ice edges, and they pierced her heart in an instant, making her feel terrified. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Her body trembled, and she didn't dare to make any sound or movement, but stood stiff in place.
After stabilizing Ah Kui, Qin Su turned his head to observe Ah Mei and Ah San.
The two of them should have fallen to the ground in the middle of the meal, because the ground was covered with extremely thick green felt, and they didn't make much noise when they fell to the ground, and Qin Su was talking to Ah Kui at the time, so he didn't hear anything strange outside.
After quietly observing for a while, Qin Su shook her head at Ah Kui and motioned for her not to move, while she herself walked to the two fallen maids with light steps, first reached out and pressed them lightly on the side of their necks, and then turned around and said "nothing" to Ah Kui.
Ah Kui's heart was relieved, and he covered his mouth and exhaled a long breath.
Then Qin Su said to her with his mouth: "I fainted." ”
Ah Kui nodded with a white face and took two steps forward cautiously, but Qin Su raised his hand to her and stopped her movements.
Ah Kui didn't dare to go any further, but saw Qin Su gesturing to her again, and before she could react, she saw Qin Su suddenly raise her voice and said, "Ah Kui will set the meal for me, I want to go to the room for dinner, I just slept for a long time, I'm very hungry." ”
Jiaojiao's lazy voice was almost no different from that of ordinary people, and while saying these words, Qin Su was already stepping on the thick green felt, walked to the door silently, put his ear to the door, and listened carefully.
A trace of fear crossed Ah Kui's pale face, but she still barely held back her mind, and said in response to Qin Su's words: "Yes, girl, I'll set the meal." ”
It took a great deal of effort to suppress the tremor in her voice, and her entire back was drenched with sweat as she finished saying this.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of very light footsteps outside the door.
"Pak, papa", it seems that the woman is walking briskly, small and clear, gradually from the door to the west, and the whiskers disappear in a moment.
Ah Kui's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he reached out again to cover his mouth.
No matter how stupid she is, she can hear it at the moment, there is someone outside the door. The man listened to their conversation and left.
Who is that? Why did you come to eavesdrop on their conversations? Is the coma of Ame and Ahsan related to the person who eavesdropped?
Ah Kui's whole person was about to lose her position, she reached out and held the case beside her, desperately trying to stabilize her figure.
Qin Su was expressionless at this time.
She crept back to the place where the two maids had fainted, leaned down, put every food on the table to the tip of her nose and sniffed it, not even water.
Her movements were light and steady, and her countenance was calm and serene, exuding an indescribable composure.
Somehow, looking at Qin Su like this, the fear in Ah Kui's heart was slightly reduced.
After checking the water, Qin Su frowned, and then she returned to the hatch, still keeping her ears close to the door, listening carefully to the movement outside.
The person who had just stayed outside to monitor must have gone somewhere else, and there was a dead silence outside the hatch, and nothing could be heard except the sound of the wind blowing through the water.
Qin Su frowned and thought about it, then quietly pinned the door bolt firmly, and immediately gestured to Ah Kui.
Ah Kui nodded with a white face, walked to the hatch and listened carefully, while Qin Su returned to the inner room.
The inner cabin was facing the wall panel of the gourd door, and a boxy window was opened for people to lean out and look out.
Qin Su carefully pushed the window sash open a crack and looked out.
The faint candlelight cast through the cracks in the window, and there was no movement on either side or the lower floor, except for the brilliant light.
There is no corridor on this side of the hull, so it is directly facing the water, otherwise Qin Su would not have the courage to push the window and peep.
She pushed the sash out a little more, and when she leaned in, she found that the siding next to the window was embedded with very thick iron hooks, and on each hook was a bronze lamp, and these bronze lamps were one every few steps, and the whole ship was brightly lit.
At this moment, the candlelight in the room merged with the light outside, and these small lights only diffused outward a few steps before being swallowed up by the deep night.
The wind of early spring carried a bitter chill and blew across Qin Su's cheeks.
She pushed the window wider, leaning out the small half of her body to look into the distance, but she could only see half of the hull of the boat moored on the right.
It was the boat where the Zhong family father and son lived.
At this moment, the boat was also brightly lit, but there was no sound of human voices, and there was no half of a figure in sight.
Qin Su turned his gaze to the other side again, only to see the light emitted by the candle flame rushing into the night, and a shadow swaying on the water. As far as Qin Su's eyes could see, all the windows on both sides and the cabins on the two floors below were closed.
Her heart sank, and she gently retracted into the room, closing the sash of the window.
At this moment, Qin Su's face was still calm, but a trace of uneasiness crossed the depths of his eyes.
The situation is getting worse and worse.
Originally, she thought that the Liu family couldn't hold it back, and wanted to use some indiscriminate means to ruin her reputation and match herself to Zhong Dalang. But in retrospect, this should not be the case.
Besides, if you want to ruin a woman's reputation, you can't commit drugs. It's simple and easy, so why bother?
Also, who is the person who is hiding outside and eavesdropping?
Qin Su was also inspired by it, thinking that someone might be watching, so he deliberately spoke loudly, but he didn't want that someone outside the door was really listening to the movement, and that person still looked like a woman.
What was the purpose of this woman? Did she only listen to Qin Su's movements in this room, or did she listen to each cabin once?
Qin Su's eyes narrowed slightly, and his mind was quickly thinking about countermeasures.
Something is very wrong.
At this time, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a thief who has robbed the ship, or...... This turned out to be a silver-faced woman's game?
With this thought, Qin Su's heart was cold.
She suddenly remembered that on the way to Beijing, the Qin family had been drugged at the Yangzhong Inn and the Li Family Courtyard in Huguanyao, and the whole courtyard was stunned, and the atmosphere at the moment was very similar to those two nights.
Qin Su's hand in his sleeve was clenched tightly in one place.
No, she had to get out of here.
She was about to walk out, but when her legs were raised, her movements suddenly stopped.
This is also extremely inappropriate.
After all, this is no better than land, the boat is parked in the water, how can she escape from the boat? She can neither row nor swim, how can she escape in the middle of this vast water?
