Chapter 70: It Was You
After Shen Manqiu waited for them to leave, he closed the door, poured out all the food on the table, and then carefully checked all the corners of the room, and found no problems, so he removed the thick camouflage on his body, blew out the candle, and lay on the bed with his clothes closed, quietly listening to the movement outside.
Time passed imperceptibly, the night was getting deeper, and the inn was so quiet that you could hear it clearly if you dropped a pin.
Finally, the sound of slight footsteps sounded in the wooden corridor of the corridor.
Shen Manqiu, who was pretending to be asleep, shook his whole body, jumped lightly from the bed, and jumped onto the beam.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, although they were very light and careful, but they were extremely clear in the silent night, Shen Manqiu breathed a sigh of relief, listening to the voice, it seemed that there was only one person, and his heart moved: Could it be that the flower thief?
Just as she was wondering who his target would be, footsteps stopped abruptly at the door of her room, and a sparse figure could be seen through the window paper.
Shen Manqiu's heart was about to rise to his throat, and he leaned against the beam quietly, thinking in his heart: Could it be that this person is really coming for himself? How did he see through himself?
I couldn't help but think of the few figures in the town when they came, and the flaws she revealed when she inadvertently spoke, and suddenly thought to her heart: since the flower thief had only recently appeared, then he should not be from the town, and it was very likely that he would settle in an inn or some inconspicuous place, and it would not be surprising that he could see through her daughter's body.
In a few moments, there was a slight noise at the door, and the deadbolt was gently flicked aside from the outside.
Shen Manqiu watched the dim light in the corridor open little by little as the door opened little by little, and his heart became more and more nervous.
I saw a figure quickly enter the room through the doorway, as if not noticing any movement, and turned around and gently closed the door, and then tiptoed to the table.
Just as the man picked up the burden on the table, the door of the tiger's room was suddenly pushed open, and Shen Manqiu saw that it was Shen Jingbei and Wang Ying who had been waiting for a long time, and his heart suddenly felt relieved: Thinking that they were also quietly waiting for the person who had been drugged to appear, and they would appear in time when they heard the movement here.
The man couldn't help but be surprised, and he didn't care about anything else, so he threw the burden in his hand at the two people at the door, and wanted to escape from the door.
In the dark, Shen Jingbei and Wang Ying couldn't see what they were throwing over, and hurriedly flashed to the sides in a hurry.
The man took the opportunity to rush out of the room, but before he could react, Shen Jingbei and Wang Ying couldn't help but say that they attacked one after the other.
That person's martial arts are also good, but he is not the opponent of Shen Jingbei, who is strong in martial arts, and at this moment, Wang Ying is helping him, not to mention that under the panic of that person, ten percent of his martial arts are less than seven or eight out of ten, how can he parry the stormy attack of the two.
In less than three rounds, that person was easily restrained by Shen Jingbei.
Shen Manqiu saw the man fall on the corridor in a languid state, jumped lightly, and jumped off the beam.
A moment later, the candle flame in the room lit up again, and Wang Ying followed Shen Jingbei into the room carrying the man in his hand.
Shen Jingbei looked at Shen Manqiu, who had returned to her woman's dress, with concern, and said, "Bing'er, I've frightened you!" ”
"It's okay, with big brother here, there's nothing to be afraid of!" Shen Manqiu smiled slightly.
Wang Ying said indignantly: "This dog thief is really bold, he dares to plot against the eldest lady!" As he spoke, he threw the man forward.
Shen Manqiu couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the person's face, this person was none other than the person who almost bumped into her at the inn counter.
"It's you!" Wang Ying saw Shen Manqiu's stunned expression, and also felt strange, and when he stepped forward to see that he recognized the person, he couldn't help but slap him angrily.
"I didn't think you were a flower thief!" Shen Jingbei saw that his face was cold, he had always felt guilty in his heart that he couldn't give a room to that person, he never thought that this person actually drugged their food, and wanted to have bad intentions towards Shen Manqiu, how could he tolerate this?
Shen Manqiu didn't expect that it would be this person who broke into the room, he almost bumped into himself in the inn, and he had heard himself speak, no wonder he knew that she was his daughter, but he had doubts in his heart.
Even if he drugged the food, how did he know he was living in this room? When he entered the room, why did he go to get the burden of the table first? If it's a flower thief, shouldn't you attack the person in bed first?
