60. The Man in the Cave

Mr. Li waved his hand out of thin air behind him, bent warily to look around at the door, and then briskly stepped back. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ming Mo on the window edge was trying to ask Xiaojing to hurry up and get the lock open, but he seemed to have picked up a treasure, not only with an obsessive face, but also with a strong chant: "Sure enough, there is a ghost!" I knew something was wrong with him, and I wanted to see what was going on......"

So there is no need for Ming Mo to say more, this time it was also unprecedentedly smooth, the lock on the window was hooked up and down by a small wire, and the two people leaned on the window and rolled directly into the second floor with a muffled sound.

didn't have time to cry out in pain, Ming Mo was in front, Xiaojing climbed up one by one, and the two of them touched the door one after the other.

For a while, he didn't even dare to get out of the atmosphere, there was a hole the size of a grain of rice on the edge of the keyhole, Ming Mo put his face up with half an eye, and saw a black figure walking back and forth.

Xiao Jing tugged at her sleeve in a panic below, Ming Mo looked down and found that he was looking at himself with blank eyes, and was about to raise his hand to slap him, but Mr. Li inside suddenly spoke: "...... If it were me, I'm sure you'd make the same decision......"

The two people outside the door hurriedly put half of their bodies on the door, and Ming Mo saw through the hole that the figure had stopped.

Then another man spoke, his voice as surprisingly hoarse as if he had been sick for a long time: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault...... Sir, I'm the one who has troubled you. ”

"It's too early to say that, it's okay for so long, it's safest to stay here right now."

The man sobbed lowly, "It's all my fault!" If it weren't for believing me, how would it be like this? ”

"You don't have to blame yourself, you didn't force anyone to ......"

"Not really!" Mr. Li was quickly interrupted, "Although I just said it casually, I just want everyone to understand!" Because everybody is looking at me, they trust me, I can't stand there and say nothing, they have the right to know! Why don't you tell the truth, is it wrong to do so...... I was scared! I didn't think to be responsible...... I didn't even think about it, but ...... But I've hurt everyone! Look outside! I really don't want to hurt you anymore...... Mr. Lai! It's my incompetence, I don't dare to mess around again, I don't want to hurt people......"

"Alright, alright...... I understand! Mr. Li let out a long sigh, and the figure disappeared from Ming Mo's sight, and then the footsteps sounded and stopped, "I have known you for so long, I know what kind of person you are, I do these things out of my conscience, now most people no longer have the appearance that a person should be, and you are different, they trust you because of your integrity...... Your piety will not be shaken by sin, so I must protect you, and I believe that my instincts are not wrong. ”

"I'm not going to do that kind of thing, you know, I can't ......" The man's voice gradually lowered, and the speed of his speech was so fast that it was almost inaudible outside the back door.

Koi couldn't hold back and jumped up directly, and then the footsteps sounded again, moving quickly towards the door.

Mr. Li's voice: "I'll go find you something to eat, don't run around." ”

Ming Mo hurriedly grabbed Xiaojing's back placket and retreated to the staircase in two or three steps.

Then the door was pushed open a crack, and Mr. Li poked his head out and looked around.

"Go down first!"

Ming Mo stared at him and whispered.

So before Mr. Li could come down, the two quickly returned to the steps outside the house.

"What should I do? He's coming out! ”

Koi asked in a panic as he ran.

"Don't be afraid!" Ming Mo took a deep breath, "After a while, he pretended that we were about to come to him, and he could say whatever he had to say!" ”

"No, no, no!" Koi waved his hand and shrunk his neck, "It's better for you to come!" ”

"I don't know what to say! Why are you so spineless as a big man? He won't eat you again. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Li pushed the door and saw the two people.

Ming Mo turned his head and found that he was defensive, the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally twice, and the whole person was so thin that only bones remained.

"Koi? What are you doing here! ”

As he spoke, he gradually clenched his wood-like hand, and glanced behind him unnaturally.

Mr. Lai...... That one...... I...... We ......"

Xiao Jing bit his lip tremblingly, and poked Ming Mo next to him with his arm, looking at her with a pleading expression.

Ming Mo hurriedly continued: "Mr. Li, the third aunt asked us to come over because she wanted to trouble you again...... Right, Koi? ”

Koi nodded like garlic.

He was obviously relieved, and the corners of his mouth pulled to reveal a deliberate smile: "Xiaojing...... I said it last time, there is a lot of trouble over there, and the above has ordered a strict inventory of supplies every day, and you know the current situation, I can't get anything in my hand to help you......"

Xiao Jing finally came back to his senses when he heard this, he lowered his head and rummaged around his body for a while, and took out the small cloth bag given by the third aunt: "We don't want to cause trouble, you see, if there is something that can be sold to us......"

"You listen to me......" Mr. Li raised his hand and pushed the thing back, "Lord Xiao has been putting grain, I guess you all know, before he opened the granary privately, which caused dissatisfaction from the above, let's not talk about it for the time being, so where can I plug the gap?" He is now borrowing the rest of the capital from others, so my master ordered all the supplies to be controlled. ”

Koi blinked, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Ming Mo couldn't help laughing, it seems that it is not gone, but he does not dare to give charity, a character like Lord Xiao in this world, after all, is rare.

He waved his hand to ask the two to go back: "Your father and I have been friends for so many years, I will not let it go, and when the turmoil passes in the past few days, I will think of another way, but ...... Don't come here, they've blocked the place you've been in and out before, and if you get caught, you'll really be out of luck. ”

Mr. Li stubbornly sent the two of them all the way out of the painting village, and the subordinate in the front yard really had long eyes this time, nodded and ran in front to lead the way.

He had been standing at the gate of the courtyard and watching the two of them disappear in Fox Alley, and then he confessed: "If anyone dares to let people in again, I will directly break his legs!" ”

So on the way back, no one spoke, and each other had their own thoughts.

At this time, it is approaching evening, and the quarantine release should have begun on the side of Duyi Street.

The lively night is about to come again, only this time, even the clouds that are silently rolling in the air seem to reveal a hint of peace.

Out of Fox Alley and back to the range of Duyi Street, people carrying long poles in the distance were slowly lighting the street lamps on both sides from the other side of the long street.

For a while, the brilliant lights were like a flooded ribbon, spreading out little by little in the sky above the frozen green city.

As the warmth came, Ming Mo suddenly found that there were a lot of sneaky figures in the four corners, gathering in the streets and alleys, shrinking their heads and whispering a sentence or two from time to time, and then wandering to the next location to exchange information.

Something is going to happen, I'm afraid everything will come sooner than the wind and snow.
