Chapter 228: The Night Is So Deep
Footsteps rang out at the door. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The figure leaning against the window stared out of the window in a daze, and immediately sat up straight when he heard the noise.
"Miss, he's back."
One step ahead of the guards who knocked on the door and came in was the little maid next to Miss Hua.
She looked at the other party and asked a little apprehensively, "Found someone?" ”
The guard stepped forward and replied in a firm tone, "I've found it." ”
"Where are the others?"
The guard met her gaze and replied, "I live in an inn quite far from the town, in a hidden location, in an alley. ”
"Two people together?"
Miss Hua's eyes fell on his face, saw his expression clearly, frowned and asked, "Have you confirmed?" Is it indeed the one who lived in Qingyin Pavilion before? Or ......"
The guard nodded and said in a very affirmative tone: "It's definitely him, it's true!" ”
"I can see very clearly, they live together."
The guard hung his head and added.
"It's hard for him to hide it in every possible way, I know there must be a cat inside!!"
Miss Hua sighed, stared at the opposite wall, and did not speak for a long time.
After a while, she looked at the guards and said, "The inn has already found all the people. ”
The guard pondered for a moment, and for a moment he couldn't tell what his young lady meant.
She tried her best to ease her tense expression, and the corners of her mouth barely showed a smile: "As long as you can afford the money, there will be people willing to do things." ”
She winked, motioned for the guard to come closer, and said, "Come here, I'll explain it in detail......
...... There was silence in the room, and the maid's eyes flashed with hesitation, and her movements were a little cramped to take a step closer to her own young lady.
After hearing what she had just said, she looked at the other party hesitantly.
There was a phrase that had been circling in her heart all the time, and she didn't know whether to say it or not.
The maid finally decided to say it, she really couldn't help it, looked at her young lady and said boldly: "Miss, in fact, the slave maid wants to say something, this matter ...... Do you want to think again? ”
The maid lowered her head and stammered, "Although your plan sounds thoughtful, just in case, in case ......"
Miss Hua gritted her teeth and said, "What if?" What if he knew? ”
She sneered and said, "Don't forget, he hasn't met me once in town. ”
She clenched the handkerchief in her hand and said hatefully: "Even the subordinates of the Yuwen family have never appeared in front of me." ”
"If something happens to an irrelevant person, how can you think of me? What does it have to do with me?! ”
Miss Hua asked a few questions one after another, then took a deep breath, turned her head to stare at the guard standing in the room, and said, "The rest is up to you!" ”
She said with a cold look in her eyes: "Be sure to do it neatly, don't cause trouble for me." ”
The maid raised her head and looked at the guard quickly, then reluctantly lowered her head again, without saying a word.
...... I stood by the window, looking out at the deep night, my gaze retracting and turning in.
His eyes fell on that table several times, and he couldn't take his eyes off the burden on the table.
Yes, even though the tsundere boy was not in this room at this moment, my mind was still recalling the words that the boy had said when he left.
This guy doesn't know what's going on in his mind...... Suddenly, he asked a strange question, and I was stunned.
I don't know how to answer.
Because I had concerns, I didn't know what the tsundere boy really meant by asking this question...... What the hell is he going to do!
I sighed, at least he told me personally.
He personally promised me that his plan to go to the Northland would not change.
...... By the way, that guy came back in a hurry.
I thought about our trip for the day.
From the time we arrived in town, he took me to his familiar shop, and then to the town.
In count, the place where we stayed changed a few times, but I didn't seem to see him eat a good meal.
Unlike me, at the end of the day, it looked really busy, and I changed a few locations, but I didn't delay anything.
I've done what I want to eat, what I want to buy!
Before dinner, he went out to run errands, and the place he went to was also a snack bar, and there were people from the Yuwen family, so it was too late for the two of them to discuss things, let alone kung fu.
Then, when he left the store that was about to close, he made a special trip to the ready-to-wear store when he walked to this area.
His last stop was to rush to the inn.
Whether it is calculated from the total time the teenager has been out of the house, or the place where he stays...... I can imagine how rushed he was to get back.
At that moment, I had an indescribable complicated feeling in my heart!
I retreated to the table, reached out and picked up my garment from the bag on the table, held it in my hand and gazed at it, looking at it carefully.
After a momentary pause, I gently pushed open the door and stepped out.
At this moment, even the guests who were talking in the front yard of the inn went back to their rooms to rest.
The whole courtyard was silent, and I was the only one who passed through the corridors of the inn.
I heard the young man at the inn say that for safety at night, there are always people guarding the house at the door.
At night, the people of the inn will also get up and patrol the entire inn, front and back yards, and corridors.
This is similar to the time when I was in Nanhua Town, and it is the same practice, in order to ensure the safety of the guests' belongings.
...... I paused for a few seconds at the bend of the stairs as I saw a faint light in a room in the backyard of the inn.
The door to the room was closed, and I couldn't see who was inside, and I didn't sleep at such a late hour...... Maybe it's the guy who patrols the inn and is inside!
I thought to myself, paused for a moment, and then walked towards the door.
If I want to borrow something from them, I naturally have to say hello to the people at the inn.
When I approached the door, I found that the room at the door was open, and there was a brazier lit near the corner, but it was not so cold.
Looking at the room, in addition to a simple bed, there is a table and a chair.
The innkeeper walked away, and went to work in the room with the lights on in the backyard!
I watched as the door of the inn was shut, and there was almost no chance of someone breaking in.
Unless they are first-class masters of light skills, they will treat the wall as nothing, step on the eaves as if they were walking on the ground, etc., then there is no need to block it.
I turned and walked back the way I came, all the way to the backyard of the inn.
As I approached the lighted room, I could smell a faint scent wafting through the air.
This aroma rests in the cold winter night, and it is very appetizing!
...... I was surprised to see the guest who was supposed to be sleeping in the room in the middle of the night appear in front of the house in the backyard, and the inn guy who pushed the door open was surprised for a moment.
"Can't you sleep at such a late hour?"
As he spoke, the young man subconsciously glanced in the direction of the stairs behind me.
"I'm sorry to bother you."
I smiled at him and continued, "My companion came back late, so I ......"
I didn't finish speaking, because I smelled the fragrance even stronger, and I couldn't help but look behind him.
The innkeeper followed my gaze in the same direction, then he retracted his gaze and smiled at me and lowered his voice, "Our shopkeeper is not here, and I am cooking hot soup on the stove." ”
"The shopkeeper is not at the inn at night?"
I looked at the young man and asked in surprise.
In my impression, unless there is something extremely important, generally speaking, the innkeeper will be stationed in the inn.
Leaving everything to the little guy who does chores at the bottom is not very reassuring!
"Our shopkeeper's house lives in the alley next door, so we all go back at night, and we take turns guarding here."
So that's it!
I listened to his answer and thought about it carefully, as if from check-in to when I went out and then back...... There were two people who saw it.
I glanced at the room, it wasn't big, but it was the inn's kitchen.
It's about where the people who work in the inn cook every day.
I thought about it for a while, and said to the young man in a sincere tone: "You have fire here, can I borrow it?" ”
He was stunned, looked at me and asked, "Are you hungry?" If you don't dislike it, I cooked a pot of hot soup here, and steamed steamed buns on the stove! ”
The young man looked at me and said in a friendly manner.
"Thank you for your kindness, I'm going to borrow the kitchen, do you have any ready-made materials here......"
I hesitated for a moment, but added, "I won't embarrass you, I'll pay you in silver, so as not to embarrass you when the innkeeper knows about it." ”
It's good to do things under other people's hands and not cause chaos for others.
"Look at what you said, it's a trivial matter, anyway, it's night, and no one from us here," the young man said in a gentle tone after thinking about it, "You're definitely not the first to tell me." ”
"Have you had any guests here before?" I asked.
"Yes, it's just that I rarely come in the middle of the night, and I'll tell you the truth, I was really taken aback by you just now!"
The young man scratched his head and looked at me embarrassedly.
"Well, don't worry, I'm definitely not here to rob!"
As soon as he finished speaking, I met the eyes of the innkeeper, and both of them laughed.
"Yes, you're like this, it's almost like me robbing!"
The young man glanced inside the room, and then said, "Come in and see, if you need any help, you can tell me." ”
"There are things to help, but not now, we have to wait a while."
I pondered for a moment, looked at the young man and said, "I won't borrow it for too long, I'll try to do it as quickly as possible." ”
The young man pointed to the covered area on the edge of the stove in front of him and said, "There is a big basket over there, and there are some vegetables in it, do you see if there is anything that can be used, and there is ready-made food on the stove I told you." ”
As he spoke, the small pot on the stove looked like it was almost dry!
"I almost forgot to add water!"
The young man ran over, picked up the pot, looked at me and asked, "Would you like to try it?" ”
He said it a few times, which made me a little embarrassed, and when I mentioned it again this time, I simply pushed the boat down the river.
"Okay, try your craft."
...... I frowned, removed the spoon, looked at the innkeeper with anticipation in his eyes, and said, "It seems to be pretty good." ”
I really can't say anything that is too contrary to my intentions, so I have to say something vaguely that is okay, at least it won't make people feel depressed!
Watching the young man go to the front yard with a small pot and steamed buns, I looked at his back and shook my head helplessly.
The soup just now actually smells good, but if you try to taste it, you can ...... It's too general.
I reassured myself that it was about the taste that the people in this town were used to, but when I thought about the delicious noodles I had eaten before, it seemed that there should not be much difference in the food.
No way, fortunately I tried, otherwise if I recklessly hit a bowl and served it to the tsundere boy, he would definitely be poured by him!
Maybe he'll use the topic to get angry with me.
That eldest young master has a picky taste, I have always known it.
I still remember that when I was in the east house of Suzhou City, Adele, who was very skilled, gave him good food, and he was disgusted by him!
I retracted my thoughts and looked upstairs again.
I saw the room next to me, the lights were still on.
I can understand that the tsundere boy didn't fall asleep when I came out, but now that the hours have passed, he still hasn't put out the lights, and I can only understand that he has the same heart as me!
Perhaps he had stayed in the town for a little time before he planned to take him away, and he should at least give an explanation to the girl who had come from afar, and had worked so hard to catch up with the tracker of so many mountain roads?
Or leave a letter or deliver a message or something.
...... The young man at the inn ate quickly, and people of his age ate heavily.
I didn't feel strange at all as I watched him wash the empty pot by the well.
"Don't worry, I won't bother you, just take your time."
The young man straightened up, looked at me, and said, "It's so late in the night, is your companion already asleep?" How is he going to eat it? ”
"Look upstairs," I said, gesturing upstairs to the young man, "have you seen the room with the light, I guess he's still awake!" ”
The young man looked at me and suddenly said, "So you said yes, he was waiting for this supper?" ”
I was tempted to say no, but after a second thought, I nodded calmly.
"I've got to go take a walk and take a look, and you're busy."
The young man is talking about the mission of the inn night patrol, which I have seen in Nanhua Town, and it is not an uncommon thing.
...... About half an hour had passed, and the young man had looked around the inn, and returned to the house in the backyard.
He walked slowly in my direction.
Then, he stopped about a meter or two away from me, looked at the vegetables I had cut on the board, looked down and looked carefully, and couldn't help but smile: "What are you going to do, cook porridge?" ”
I shook my head and replied, "No, it's my favorite one...... Anyway, it should be considered a snack. ”
"You didn't see that!" (To be continued.) )
