Chapter 057: Who's the Front
Shen Xi looked ahead, but the afterglow also fell on the woman. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Her thin cheeks seem to have been shaved out by a knife, and the lightness in her temperament is reminiscent of wild chrysanthemums on the side of the road.
She looked at Shen Xi for a while, then withdrew her gaze, picked up two puppets, and slowly sold them to the women and children passing in front of her.
Puppets cost ten cents a piece, and fifteen cents a pair, which is much cheaper than selling them in other places.
Shen Xi also withdrew his gaze, walked towards Xiao Huai, raised his lips and said: "Six-nine-fifty-four, seven-nine-sixty-three, I just took a look, Mr. has good luck gambling today, and he should have won a lot of silver." ”
Her posture was calm, and she was no longer the same as she had chased him to ask for the truth.
She no longer had to confirm with him whether he knew Qi Jiu or not.
The question she asked in the alley just now, his performance had already given her an answer in her heart.
If he really knew him, then he wouldn't just absentmindedly repeat her words after she spit out the name Qi Jiu.
Even if he just didn't care for a while, but what about after this time?
Ever since the beard appeared outside the mouth of the alley, he hadn't paid attention to her.
Even when her face revealed his disgust for the beard, he stretched out his arm to block her face, and he did not relax his attention to the beard.
And no matter what the beard said and did behind him, he never looked back.
His appearance in front of her, from beginning to end, was just a pretense to avoid the beard.
This also proves that he turned around and left without saying a word, and the purpose was also to grow his beard! And it wasn't for Qi Jiu to avoid her.
He didn't think that Qi Jiu'er had anything to do with her at all.
But anyone who has a little friendship, how can he not react at all when he is heard by others?
The name Qi Jiu is really too ordinary.
None of the guards in the iron camp had real names, and if she guessed correctly, Qi Jiu should actually be "seventy-nine" according to the number.
Such a name is called ten times on the street, and very few people associate it with the number of the Qin Palace guards twelve years ago.
Xiao Huai touched his nose, his eyes were a little dazed, and he really didn't know how to answer.
After all, he didn't think about how much money he had won, and he was actually peeped at by a little girl.
Shen Xi had no intention of talking to him.
He used her as a cover to avoid people's eyes, but on the contrary, how could he not be her disguise?
It's not the first time she's seen a puppet seller.
As soon as she entered Xing'ergou in the morning, she saw her in the carriage.
Although it was only a glimpse, how could her memory not be better when she was a child, when she had to read so many books, memorize so many rhythms, and know so many brocade embroidery threads.
The woman who was still in Xing'ergou in the morning suddenly appeared in Qingshi Town again, and when Yuanbei said in the teahouse that she felt that someone was watching, she saw her mixed in the small vendors across the street through the window.
If this is called a coincidence, what about when she chased the man to this place half a mile away?
Why did she come along?
Each of the puppets she sells is round and regular, but there are still occasional knife marks, which are obviously cut by hand.
Cutting it out by hand and selling it so cheaply, is it like playing with a puppet?
What kind of person can make a puppet like a play?
If Shen Xi's purpose was still on Xiao Huai at the beginning, then since the last time she saw this woman, she had actually turned to her.
Her current identity is just an unfavored young lady in Shen Shilang's mansion, and no one will be willing to spend a lot of money to hire a killer with a knife skill to kill her.
There are not so many Wen Chan in the world, and those women in the back house of the Shen Mansion do not have such courage and scheming. What's more, how Wen Chan found the killer in the first place is also very suspicious, isn't it?
She also has no money, and it is worth being robbed.
So what other possibilities is there for the woman who appeared in Xingergou?
When she called the word Qi Jiu out on the street, she was the one with the most special reaction......
Although others also cast their eyes, most of them just looked at them, and soon retracted their gazes one after another and continued to shout.
But she looked at her for a long time.
It can be seen that the person who really reacts to this name is not the man in front of him, but the woman.
"Excuse me."
She bowed slightly at Xiao Huai, and then left him without squinting and walked towards the flow of people.
She didn't look at the woman again.
Whether she was the person she was looking for or not, if she didn't come looking for her, she wouldn't be able to break her.
Even if Shen Chong believed in Qi Jiu's kindness, it was also a friendship between them.
As the original owner, she will definitely not want to mess with these rights and wrongs again.
And as her, after she has revealed the information that she is looking for her, she can only wait for her to find the door herself.
If she stepped forward and asked directly, wouldn't it become a coercion?
Moreover, this favor was not given by herself.
"Presumptuous! - How dare you arrest me! ”
As soon as I walked to the side of the street, suddenly there was a loud shout from the crowd!
Immediately after that, passers-by were in a heap, and in the middle of the street, a group of masked black-clothed people fought around the beard!
She hurriedly retreated, and suddenly someone grabbed her and swept backwards quickly, which was amazingly fast, and in an instant she entered a shop in the back!
Her blood gushed upward, and she looked back sharply, and she turned to her face with a little disdain.
It's not her!
The people in the shop had already fled the door, and now it was empty, she quickly ran to the window to look into the crowd, only to see the people on the street rushing to run, where was there still a trace of the woman?!
She was slightly disappointed.
Could it be that she was wrong in her guess?
Didn't the woman come with her because of her?
"It's over, it's over! It's time to come out! ”
The shouting outside the door interrupted her thoughts again.
She calmed down, turned around and saluted Xiao Huai, and then walked out of the door quickly, heading to the previous teahouse.
Xiao Huai looked at her back through the window, his brows furrowed.
"Young master! The man has already taken it! ”
At this time, there were suddenly many more people in the store, and the group of men in black who had been rounded up on the street had already come in with their beards.
scolded nonsense, and it wasn't until he came in and saw him that his eyes widened, and a pair of legs softened: "Down, see you-"
"General Chen, hello."
Xiao Huai withdrew his gaze from the window, raised his lips, took his robe, and sat down on the chair.
Shen Xi walked through the flow of people and returned to the teahouse across the street.
Wang'er had already returned, sitting in the same place she had sat in.
When they saw her, they both stood up immediately: "Where has the girl gone?" ”
Shen Xi sat down, didn't answer them, Wu Zi first poured a cup of tea and drank it, and then looked at the other side again.
There were far fewer people in the street than before, and when I looked up, there was no more of the woman.
Even if she wasn't Qi Jiu, her frequent appearance must be unusual.
She had always been sure of her judgment, but this time, was she wrong?
