Chapter 52: Protecting Yourself
In the Luo family's brothers and sisters, they are indeed practicing kung fu. When people teach well, they don't have any reservations. It's a pity that she learned to be opportunistic, and she didn't practice down-to-earth at all.
However, in the past three years, Xiaomi has really learned that martial arts is really not a martial arts novel, and it is as evil as in movies and television.
Xiaomi knows that even if she is really good at this time, but with the body of a twelve-year-old girl, no matter how powerful she is, how powerful can she be?
In ancient times, it was not as advanced as modern communication equipment, and you could call the police with three simple numbers on your mobile phone with your finger.
Those who go out of the house, this inn is full of people who come and go, and they all have the idea that more things are better than less. If you stupidly tear your throat and shout to catch the thief and help, I am afraid that no one will come to save your life, and it will only make the thief hold a grudge.
Even if they didn't dare to kill people in the inn, they probably wouldn't stop there. Trailing along the way, where you reach a remote place, it will be miserable.
So, you can only outwit it. It will not let the grandchildren of the Cao family have any losses, let alone cause trouble.
The idea was made, and she did it.
Stretched out his hand and gently held the smoking bamboo pipe, and gambled his thumb on the mouth of the pipe.
Ahem, there were a few coughs outside the window immediately, and then Guan Ziye quickly dragged it back. Xiaomi didn't try to stop it, moved her body to the window, and stood against the wall, waiting for the reaction from outside.
Xiaomi is nervous, but she also knows that sooner or later such things will be encountered, and walking outside cannot be avoided. The right is to test yourself, and your ability to respond to emergencies is good.
It's just a thief, not a murderous horse. If you can't do this, if you can't do it, how can you be on your own in the future?
"Shrimp, what's wrong?" Someone outside the window asked in a low voice.
"Brother, there's stubble in it, cough cough." The coughing man replied, and Millet caught a hint of panic in the man's voice, and he was happy in his heart, it seemed that there was a door.
"A tower in the mountains, a bridge over the water, what tower, what bridge?" The man outside whispered.
Oh, you actually talk to yourself about the rivers and lakes? Millet was a little more relaxed, pressing her hand against her throat to make her pronunciation older; "The tower is the town demon tower, and the bridge is the Nai He Bridge. Harriers fly, do not forage for food, do not sit in the nest. ”
She learned all these from the fifth aunt Luo Qingmei, as well as the third uncle and the fourth uncle. At the time, I didn't take it seriously, I just thought it was interesting and fun.
Look, it's really used today, Xiaomi easily said to the secret words, and my heart was beautiful. In response to the secret words just now, Xiaomi also told the other party that he was just passing by here.
They won't do anything on their turf anymore, and they won't settle here, so they can rest assured.
"Brother I don't know, please don't care, brother, why don't you wait and have a glass of wine together, is it an apology?" The man outside the window asked tentatively.
Millet endured to keep herself from laughing; "Heroes are informal. It's just that when you ask the two of you to do it, don't clear the warehouse. ”
The meaning of the latter words is to ask them to be careful when they do it later, and not to steal all the guests from this time. You must know that after the stolen person finds out at dawn, he will definitely go to the police.
Other guests have been stolen, if the ancestors of the Cao family did not recruit thieves, wouldn't that make people suspicious?
If the lord in the yamen is more serious, it will be very troublesome.
"Brother, don't worry, what we do is to point the warehouse, not clear the warehouse, don't pass by." The people outside were in a hurry to go elsewhere to do it, and they didn't ask which mountain the millet was from, and after saying this, they left the root of the window and went to the next target.
The point warehouse is to pick the hand with oil and water, and the clearance, as the name suggests, is to eat all the fat sheep and sheep.
Listening to the footsteps in the distance, Xiaomi pushed the window open a crack so that the fragrance in the room could quickly disperse. Lying back in the bed, she smuggled Erlang's legs, Emma, so easily, the problem was solved? That's too easy, right?
It was only when she felt that it was almost enough that she took out the contents of her nostrils. It's easy to wake up the grandfather and grandson, just spray cold water on your face.
However, Xiaomi did not do that. How can I explain to them when I wake them up? It's better to just drop like this, anyway, it's just a lethargy, and there are no side effects on the body.
Because of this episode, Xiaomi couldn't sleep at all when she was excited. There are also some contradictions in my heart, for example, knowing that there are thieves in the inn, I am just protecting myself and not warning other guests, is it too selfish to do this?
However, it's not interesting enough to warn? Not righteous.
No matter how indiscriminate the two thieves used incense just now, no matter how much they hate petty theft in modern times. However, Xiaomi felt that the two thieves did not seem to be so heinous.
At the very least, they are the ones who point to the rich, and they don't want to harm the poor. When human lives are really at stake, Xiaomi feels that he will not sit idly by.
It's good that I can protect myself now, I really can't care about too much else. As much ability as possible, you can do as much as you can, and you can't help but measure yourself.
What's more, I have already warned myself. It's like not being used to seeing ancient people taking concubines, but they also know that they can't get used to it, and they can't accept it, so what can they do.
What you can do is just to strive for the kind of life you want. As for the others, they don't have the ability to change like that.
Men have the ability to take a few concubines, and women themselves are willing to be concubines, that is their life, and it has nothing to do with themselves, so why bother to change things that can't be changed at all.
After more than half an hour, Xiaomi got up and closed the window, lay down and continued to sleep.
Before dawn, Xiaomi was woken up by a noise. The grandson of the Cao family was also woken up, and Cao Chengyan lit a candle and comforted his grandson and Xiaomi not to be afraid.
He put on his robe and opened the door to find out what was going on.
Millet sat under the covers, leaning against the wall. Cao Yun was originally curious and scared. However, seeing that Xiaomi was "scared", he immediately gave Xiaomi a disdainful smile, and nodded his feet to the door and looked out.
Xiaomi didn't bother to pay attention and pricked up his ears to listen outside. I only heard the voice of two people insulting the shopkeeper, saying that this inn is a black shop, what, something.
There is also a very sincere voice, saying that the guest officer is not in a hurry, he has already gone to report to the official, and I believe that the case will be solved soon.
However, a few of the scolding people are still unrelenting. Xiaomi listened to it, and the guilt in her heart because of the lack of warning disappeared immediately.
When the day dawned, the people from the yamen arrived and surrounded the inn, saying that they wanted to check them one by one...... R1152
