Chapter Seventy-Seven: Do a Favor
Opposite the Lingren Pavilion was a restaurant, Jia Gongyi opened a room and settled down, and Shen Xingchen returned to the Lingren Pavilion alone.
Shen Xingchen lay on the bed, boredly teasing his fingers. She had the heart to inquire about Jia Gongyi, but he didn't accept it. It's really a thousand-year-old fox who has become a spirit, and it's really hard to get something out of his mouth to know something. In the past, there was almost no time to go out during the day in the Yun family, but today is a good time, and there is no need to be afraid of having a humanoid mask.
Shen Xingchen jumped up and sat on the bed, took out his mask and was just about to put it on his face, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Knock knock knock......
Seeing that there was no response in the room, there were three more knocks, the sound was soft and intermittent, but there was no sign of stopping, like the weakness but tenacity of an old man who had been hungry for many days.
If such a situation suddenly appeared at night, it would definitely look weird. But during the day, Shen Xingchen was only surprised. Jia Gongyi just left, it won't be him, if it's the shopkeeper, why don't you speak. Shen Xingchen put the mask into his arms, got up and walked over and opened the door.
"Kid, who are you looking for?"
At the doorway stood a little boy in tattered clothes, with a pair of ill-fitting black shoes on his feet, the uppers of which were covered with yellow mud, with a few holes broken and a few toes exposed. His face is quite clean, his face is slightly yellow, but his eyes are watery, there is an egg-sized bruise on his forehead, his cheeks are already thin, and the high and swollen lump makes him look like a happy Shouxian Gong, but Shen Xingchen can't laugh at all, this image looks like a little beggar.
Little beggar, will it be...... Shen Xingchen's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, but he was quickly vetoed by himself, who would be so stupid. But this idea was only briefly overturned by the little boy's actions.
"You, it wasn't yesterday, it's okay!" The little boy's probing gaze swept Shen Xingchen's body several times before raising his sparkling eyes and asking very sincerely.
Ha, it's really the little beggar who stole Li Qiaochu's money. But what do you look like, holding a pair of watery eyes, it seems that as long as Shen Xingchen says a word, he will immediately cry.
Shen Xingchen really wanted to say that something was wrong, but he saw that his eyes were stiffly choked.
If the others had avoided it a long time ago, how could this little beggar still appear in front of him? Although he had done something wrong, he was obviously not a person who was bad to the bone.
"Yo, I dare to rob at a young age, I am here to care about me, what do you little kid want to do!" Shen Xingchen's tone was still not polite, the child's eyes turned red instantly when he heard Shen Xingchen's words, and he lowered his head and left only Shen Xingchen with a mess on the top of his head.
What was even more messy than the little beggar was Shen Xingchen's mood at the moment, the tears like soybeans smashed on the ground and disappeared quickly, but these insignificant tears fell on Shen Xingchen's heart like a heavy punch. The little beggar's shoulders shook and sobbed silently, Shen Xingchen really wondered if he had said something rebellious just now, which made people so sad.
"You, what's wrong, it's my sister who is wrong, my sister shouldn't murder you, but it's not right to steal!"
Shen Xingchen squatted down, and her voice softened unconsciously, she was soft-hearted and couldn't see tears, especially such a poor child.
The already bad mood became even more uncomfortable when I saw what the little beggar was going to do next.
The little beggar took out a dark purple money bag from his embrace, which was bulging, and embroidered with a few crescent-white auspicious clouds, with fine stitches and exquisite fabrics, and at a glance he knew that this thing was the belongings of the rich boy!
"I don't use any of the silver taels in it!" The little beggar raised the money bag in front of Shen Xingchen, his eyes were teary but his eyes were extremely serious and pleaded: "I want to ask you for a favor and help me return this silver tael to that child!" The little beggar lowered his head, and his voice was so low that it seemed to have fallen into the dust: "If you can, please help me say sorry on behalf of that child!"
As soon as his hand sank, his eyes flickered, and the little beggar had already run out.
When Shen Xingchen reacted, the person had already walked away, she weighed the heavy money bag in her hand, and muttered in her mouth: I know this little cub very well with you? But when did he agree to his request?
Li Qiaochu had long believed that he was an accomplice with the little beggar, and sending the stolen goods over at this time was undoubtedly a crime to confirm. Forget it, just do good, and if the time is right, you should return the things to their original owners.
There are a lot of questions from Shen Xingchen that he hasn't had time to ask, how did the little beggar know that she was here, and besides, she was still dressed as a man yesterday, could it be that this little cub's eyes are as vicious as the old man who can Xu Daoyi, and he can see through himself at a glance?
Although Shen Xingchen had doubts in her heart, she was also glad, she took out the mask from her body and pasted it on her face, and the yellowed and distorted bronze mirror reflected a slightly heroic and ordinary woman, which was completely different from Shen Xingchen's appearance, but Ruyu's skin was completely obedient to her face, flat and neat, as if this face was born like this.
She tugged at the corners of her mouth, and the person in the mirror also reminded her of the same arc, she was too lucky, those two masks were made to be fake, not to mention that even men and women were neatly together, and the old man was usually playful even if he was not in tune, so he shouldn't be a man dressed as a woman. Shen Xingchen felt full of wind when he thought about it, and he couldn't accept it. But it did her a good job, like now she doesn't need to change her outfit when she goes out.
Shen Xingchen went to Luo's house first with a face that he was completely unfamiliar with. Shen Xingchen originally didn't want to go to Xiangyao Mountain, but now that she had left the Yun family and had this freedom, of course she decided to go. So in the past two days, she has paid close attention to Luo Ruxue's movements. Obviously, Shen Xingchen's hard work should be a joke in Jia Gongyi's eyes.
Shen Xingchen walked around North Street unscrupulously for most of the day, and then went back to the restaurant to eat and go to sleep, and when she got up the next day in a daze, she was frightened by Jia Gongyi who appeared at her door.
"Now go to Xiangyao Mountain! You ...... with me"
Shen Xingchen was very surprised and stretched out his finger to point back and forth on the two of them, Jia Gongyi was still wearing that signboard-like smile, and he also knew in his heart that Luo Ruxue was going to Xiangyao Mountain today. I knew that Jia Gongyi would arrange it, so she didn't need to go to Luo's house yesterday. Shen Xingchen glared at Jia Gongyi hatefully, and his tone was quite unhappy: "Wait a minute, I'll go change the mask!" Luo Ruxue probably didn't want to see herself, when Shen Xingchen turned around and was about to put on the mask, Jia Gongyi said slowly: "I advise you not to stick it! And it's better to hurry!"
Shen Xingchen is not!
It is to frustrate Jia Gongyi's momentum. But after the two of them went downstairs, Shen Xingchen regretted it!
