Chapter 72: Thorn in the Back
At this time, I saw Hou Kaisen walking lightly from the staircase.
"Monkey, is there any movement?" Shen Manqiu said casually.
"I didn't find anything out of the ordinary, but for some reason, I always felt that something wasn't quite right." Hou Kaisen shook his head weakly, glanced at Wang Er on the ground, and exclaimed: "I just said that this guy is not a good bird, I didn't expect him to really send it to the door." ”
"Looking at this kid, he doesn't do a lot of hurtful things on weekdays, less in charge, eldest lady, do you think you should clean him up and send him to the government, or just do you do a hundred?" Wang Ying was already very unpleasant to look at Wang Er, who was a thief with eyebrows and rat eyes, and after learning that he was also surnamed Wang, he felt that he had lost the face of the old Wang family.
Wang Er panicked when he heard this, and said in a panic: "This young lady, and a few big brothers, I have said everything, please spare my dog's life!" ”
"Bing'er, what do you mean?" Shen Jingbei was quite ashamed of his shameless kowtow and begging for mercy, and hesitated.
Shen Manqiu thought for a while and said: "We still have a task on this trip, if there is no need, don't make extraneous branches, and besides, people like him will be released in less than two days after being sent to the government." It's better to tie him up for a night first, and confirm his identity tomorrow before making plans. ”
"Alright, leave him to us." Wang Ying said with a smile, although she was very curious about what Shen Manqiu said about the task of this trip, but since she refused to say, he didn't ask more, anyway, he was able to let him accompany him, obviously treating him as his own.
Seeing Wang Ying and Hou Kaisen wring Wang Er out like a dead dog, Shen Jingbei also followed out of the room, turned his head and said, "Bing'er, you rest early, if you find something wrong, call me!" ”
"I see, big brother!" Shen Manqiu smiled slightly, and watched them leave, and then closed the door again.
She lay quietly on the bed, not sleepy, after experiencing Wang Er's incident, I don't know why the previous uneasy feeling did not disappear, but became more intense, and her heart was inexplicably tight: Could it be that the monkey's premonition is really so effective?
Thinking of the matter of Wang Er removing the door bolt just now, Shen Manqiu got up from the bed with a bone, first covered the entire window tightly, and then carefully checked around the room, and found no loopholes, so he tied the end of the door bolt with a thin wire, and the other end of the thin line was wrapped around his wrist along with his clothes.
She tried to pull out the deadbolt, and as soon as the deadbolt moved slightly, the thin wire would pull her wrist, alerting her, and after confirming that it was correct, she blew out the candle and fell asleep on the bed.
I don't know how long it took, Shen Manqiu's wrist on the bed suddenly moved, and she immediately woke up.
Shen Manqiu carefully sat up straight from the bed, gently rubbed his sleepy eyes, turned his head to look out the door, but it was calm as usual, and he didn't see anything.
Just when she was in doubt, she suddenly smelled a strange aroma at the end of her nose, and she knew that something was wrong, so she quickly held her breath.
Shen Manqiu fumbled in the room to find the half-wet towel that he had used at night, looked at the extra bamboo tube-like thing on the ground that was constantly smoking, and couldn't help covering his mouth and nose with a towel, and made up his mind that once he found that there was anything wrong with his body, he immediately shouted for help.
Fortunately, she didn't smell the strange aroma anymore, which finally made her feel a little more at ease, and she was able to gradually calm down and think about her situation and countermeasures.
Who is this man? How did he find himself?
He doesn't know how much more powerful his methods are than Wang Er, if it weren't for the lessons of the past, coupled with Hou Kaisen's strong premonition and her own sufficient vigilance, and made full preparations, I am afraid that at this time, I have already fallen into the incense, and the consequences are unimaginable.
Shen Manqiu thought silently in her heart, if she shouted for help at this time, she should naturally be able to scare the person outside away, and she would be temporarily out of the dangerous situation. It's just that this person outside is so clever and vigilant, it is not difficult to scare him away with this call for help, but it is extremely difficult to catch him.
The so-called not afraid of thieves stealing is afraid of thieves, if this time the grass startles the snake, but you don't know where the other party is sacred, you must always guard against this person's sneak attack in the future, you will inevitably have a feeling of thorns in the back.
Thinking of this, Shen Manqiu finally decided to take a risk, covered his mouth and nose with one hand, picked up the quilt on the bed with the other, and quietly walked to the back of the door.
