Chapter 34: His Favor
The boy walked through several streets and alleys all the way, and Shen Xingchen performed light skills and kept up with him without difficulty. He ran very fast, his thin body was stretched long in the dim candle flames, his two exposed calves were not reflected on the ground, and his flat upper body seemed to be suspended and moving, like a crumbling dog's tail grass on a cliff, and he was really thin and pitiful.
The boy's footsteps finally stopped in a simple bungalow. He raised his hand to knock on the door, but the scrawny hand hung in the air, and he didn't knock for a long time. He stood there and hesitated for a moment before withdrawing his hand, and then turned away from a small messy house not far from him, he pushed open the crumbling broken door, and sat on the straw floor with a blank gaze, as if thinking about something.
Shen Xingchen stood on the roof and glanced at him, then turned his attention to this side of the room. She crouched down slightly, casually lifting a blue and black tile on the roof.
Shen Xingchen could see the situation inside at a glance. The layout of the house is simple, and the furnishings are mostly plain and simple, with a wide screen dividing the room in two, with a bathtub at one end and a dresser and a bed on the other.
There were dark purple curtains hanging around the bed, and Shen Xingchen couldn't see the faces of the people inside, only the squeaking sound of the bed and the sound of men and women mixing together came from inside.
Shen Xingchen felt that he was really crazy, and he came to climb over the roof of someone's house in the middle of the night because of curiosity, and was bumped into by her. I won't wake up tomorrow morning with a needle's eye. Fortunately, the action inside did not last long, and ended with a long sigh of satisfaction from both men and women.
"Has the Yun family been going on a lot lately? Why did you suddenly think of me! How is it, are you comfortable?"
Shen Xingchen frowned when she heard this foul language, she was going to leave, but the woman's voice kept her footsteps. This voice seems to be a little familiar, maybe it is really someone she knows! Shen Xingchen had no choice but to tilt his head sideways and put his ear on that gap, listening carefully to the voices of the people below!
Qiao Er's flirtatious words provoked the female voices around her to sneer, looking at the red faces of the people around her, she changed her words, and her tone was a little jealous: "Hmph, what are you talking about, I don't know you yet, just now I must have provoked other good-looking girls again!"
After speaking, he hammered him on the chest a few times as if he was angry, Qiao Er was not angry, grinned, reached out and grabbed her wrist, and laughed: "What a good-looking little girl, but they are all milky little girls, there is no good-looking woman in this world who is better than you, you are good-looking, your kung fu is better, I Qiao Er can't do without you!"
The woman snorted coldly, but her eyebrows and eyes smiled, and her voice became softer, obviously eating Qiao Er's set: "Today's mouth is so sweet, why, don't you owe someone someone money and want to deduct it from me." I'm telling you, I don't have any money!"
Qiao Er's brows suddenly frowned, the fierceness and anger in his eyes flashed, and when he looked at the woman next to him, it had become normal. The woman next to her didn't notice anything wrong at all, and said in a commanding tone: "It's my birthday in two days, I've been with you for so many years, and you've never given me anything as decent, I don't care, you must send me this year." Think about how much you've benefited from me over the years, you never remember that, do you really like me!"
Qiao Er saw that the woman around him was really angry, although he was impatient in his heart, but thinking about her words, he could only suppress the irritability in his heart, thinking of the days to come, he patiently continued to coax in a gentle voice: "Of course, Jiao Niang, you have paid for me Qiao Er over the years, of course I Qiao Er remember, you can rest assured, I will definitely make you unforgettable this birthday!"
The woman saw Qiao Er's big palm on his chest and snorted coldly and smiled with satisfaction, and the two of them bit their ears and crooked for a while, and then they began to open another battle inside.
Shen Xingchen couldn't bear it anymore at this time, she jumped and quietly disappeared on the roof. When Shen Xingchen came to the Yun family's mansion, he came directly to the room where Xu Jianniang lived.
It's silent. Shen Xingchen stood at Xu Jianniang's door and listened carefully for a while, and found that there was no sound inside before pushing open the door and entering.
When Shen Xingchen looked at the bed, there was really no one there. Xu Jianniang's voice is sharp and mean, which is easy to recognize. Shen Xingchen had already suspected it when the woman had just spoken, and this suspicion was instantly proved when he saw Xu Jianniang's empty room now. Qiao Er's good friend is Xu Jianniang.
It couldn't be better. Although what Xu Jianniang did to her today was instructed by Hand Chunya, it could make Xu Jianniang stumble, and Qiao Er could be regarded as a breakthrough.
Shen Xingchen grinned, took out the pair of jade earrings from his body and put them in Xu Jianniang's makeup.
Although Xu Jianniang is just a lady who manages the kitchen, she is seen wearing makeup during the day, and although the clothes on her body are not expensive, she is quite exquisite, and she doesn't know how many times better than these girls. The things that Luo Ruxue can see, although they are not the best, are definitely precious. The old woman loves beauty so much, she shouldn't give up this opportunity to show off. But there's no guarantee that she'll be in hiding for a while. To be on the safe side, Shen Xingchen took out a packet of medicinal powder from her body and poured it on her bed. Qiao Er dodged, and it wouldn't be bad to let her give it a try.
Chunya is Luo Ruxue's personal girl, so she naturally recognizes this thing. When the time comes, it will be found that this crime can be big or small, it will be a few scolding, and if it is punished, if it is charged with theft, it is more likely to be driven out of the Yun family. It's just a pity, and the girl Chunya. Shen Xingchen took two things from Luo Ruxue, and originally planned to have one for Xu Jianniang and Chunya, but now, ...... You can only take your time.
Shen Xingchen thought about the bracelet that she gave away, and thought of the poor boy, who didn't follow, but followed the street scoundrel like Qiao Er. The bracelet looked very expensive, and if the pawn could be exchanged for a lot of money, it would be enough for him to live for several years.
I should have given him some silver taels if I had known.
Shen Xingchen returned to the back kitchen in a confused mind, she remembered that she still had a few large basins of clothes that had not been washed, but the fact was surprising, the clothes full of several large frames had all been washed and hung neatly.
Who was that person? Did he find out about his own outing, and why did he help her, or did he threaten her with it?
Shen Xingchen really couldn't think of it, so she didn't want to, she came to the girl's residence in the dark, and saw four little girls sleeping side by side on the bed by the moonlight.
A day's physical work is really tiring enough for a small body like Shen Xingchen. Shen Xingchen tiptoed onto the bed and just lay down, but the girl next to him suddenly opened her eyes. Between their eyes, they heard each other's heartbeats in the quiet night.
This little girl is the one who was kicked into the vegetable pot by Xu Jianniang in the morning, and Shen Xingchen knew that her name was Zhu Lai. I don't know if she is friend or foe, Shen Xingchen pretended to have nothing to do, and said innocuous words in a relaxed tone: "I haven't slept so late!"
The bead curtain hummed softly and closed his eyes. No one said anything, and Shen Xingchen didn't want to cause more trouble.
A good night's sleep.
The sky was slightly bright, Shen Xingchen was woken up by the bead curtain, and when she got up from the bed with sleepy eyes, she was facing a pair of fire-breathing eyes.
