Chapter 129: A Nest of Snakes and Rats
There was such a big thing happening outside, now that the people in the entire inn have woken up, the coachman is naturally among them, Jiang Rujin heard the coachman's voice, and suddenly felt happy in his heart, thinking that there was salvation now.
But there is no carelessness Now the shopkeeper Zhao is in this house, and there are all the people who are the shopkeeper Zhao, who knows what will happen when she comes down, and those people below will not help her.
So she knows very well that the most important thing for her now is to protect herself, no matter whether the shopkeeper Zhao is not in the room now, she must think of a safe strategy.
The last time she passed by here, she saw that there was no town on the left and right, and she had to keep going to see a small city, and it would take at least an hour or two to get to the town, so she couldn't be too careless.
The coachman was her person, and she believed that after all, if something good happened, he wouldn't be able to eat and walk around, and after getting along for so long, there was someone who couldn't understand what they were like with each other.
So she knew that if something happened to her, the driver would not care, but if something really happened, the driver would suffer if she rashly helped.
She couldn't help but answer, and the coachman was a little worried after shouting a few times outside.
At this time, she also heard the voice of the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper, and Jiang Rujin was immediately relieved.
The coachman was a little worried and pushed open the door under the joint efforts of several people, she looked at the shopkeeper Zhao standing in the house in a panic, this room is only so big, it must not be able to find a place to hide, the shopkeeper obviously understands this, and all the cramped and restless stand in place.
When the coachman pushed open the door and saw the shopkeeper standing in place, he was surprised. He looked inside and didn't see Jiang Rujin, and immediately asked, "Where is my young lady?" ”
This made Shopkeeper Zhao not know how to answer.
The coachman was very excited: "Where did you hide my young lady, and how did you end up in my young lady's room?" ”
This stumped the shopkeeper Zhao, but the shopkeeper Zhao was smart, and quickly reacted and thought that there was no one else in this room, so even if he did something himself, no one would see through it, and said with a heart: "I am here to naturally want to find your young lady, and your young lady was not here when I came in, so I don't know if you ask me." ”
As soon as he heard this, he knew that he was cheating, how could the coachman forgive such an answer, he snorted and said: "If you don't explain this matter to me clearly, we will go to the yamen, why are you in my lady's room and where is my young lady." ”
Jiang Rujin saw that there were many people standing in this room, and not all of them were Zhao shopkeepers, and his heart was suddenly happy, knowing that he could appear at this time now.
Hurriedly said: "I'm here." ”
Everyone looked in the direction of the bed, and the coachman saw Jiang Rujin on the top of the bed and stepped forward worriedly: "Miss, why did you climb on top of this." ”
With the help of the coachman, Hua Xiaoqiao got down from the top of the curtain, looked at the coachman with some seriousness, and said, "If I don't hide on this, I'm afraid it's ......." She then looked at Shopkeeper Zhao.
Everyone followed Jiang Rujin's line of sight and looked at Shopkeeper Zhao. saw the shopkeeper Zhao looking at Jiang Rujin with a weak heart.
Jiang Rujin said very aggrievedly: "If I hadn't noticed that something was wrong, I didn't know what would have happened in the end." Shopkeeper Zhao, do you want me to tell you the purpose of coming to my room? ”
She was very cold in her heart, and she was a little grateful to Shopkeeper Zhao for taking care of her, but now she has no gratitude to Shopkeeper Zhao at all, she really feels a little disgusting, she didn't expect Shopkeeper Zhao to be such a person, and the more she thinks about it, the more disgusting she feels.
Shopkeeper Zhao's face was ugly. The innkeeper was originally very angry because of those bandits. Now I didn't expect that Shopkeeper Zhao wanted to do something in his inn. Looking at Jiang Rujin's aggrieved look, he still didn't understand what was going on.
He wasn't worried about offending Zhao, the shopkeeper stepped forward and asked Jiang Rujin Dao: "Miss Jiang, what happened, please tell me clearly, you can rest assured, I will definitely give you justice." ”
Jiang Rujin's heart warmed when she said this, and she looked at the shopkeeper gratefully and said, "I heard that the downstairs was suddenly quiet, and I was worried that it was the bandits I met on the road today. Thinking that I am a weak woman if I am caught, I will definitely end up without imagination, so I hid on the top of the curtain, but I didn't expect that this hiding really escaped a catastrophe, how did this Zhao shopkeeper enter my room I don't know how I was scared at the time so I didn't make a sound, but I didn't expect that this Zhao shopkeeper's mouth was full of disgusting words, I was so scared that I had been waiting on it for fear of being discovered by Zhao shopkeeper My existence, fortunately, you arrived or ....... ”
Jiang Rujin knew when to show weakness, so he cried.
That pitiful appearance makes people feel congested when they look at it.
The coachman is hot-tempered, and Jiang Rujin is very good to him along the way, so he is even more angry in his heart, and he is angry when he thinks that Jiang Rujin was almost ruined by an old man.
"Shopkeeper Zhao didn't expect you to be such a person."
The coachman didn't expect that Shopkeeper Zhao would be able to do such a human-faced and beastly thing, if it weren't for Jiang Rujin hiding on the curtain by himself, wouldn't it be ....... He himself can't think about what can happen in the end, Jiang Rujin is really not easy to be a girl's family.
Originally, he was a little grateful to the coachman for taking care of him along the way, but now that such a thing has happened, he is really not grateful at all.
In his heart, he was more disgusted with what the shopkeeper Zhao did, and he was also very sympathetic to Jiang Rujin, who was able to endure it to such a point, and felt a little lucky.
Fortunately, he thought of it for the first time to come over and take a look, otherwise what would happen if this shopkeeper Zhao stayed in this house for a long time.
Jiang Rujin and pitiful, the innkeeper looked at the shopkeeper Zhao angrily and said: "Shopkeeper Zhao, you are also a frequent visitor to my inn, I don't care what you do outside on weekdays, but you still want to do such a thing in my inn, what do you tell me to do?" Send it to the government. ”
It's just that the innkeeper's words fell. Although the people in the team also despised these things done by Shopkeeper Zhao, after all, Shopkeeper Zhao was their person. Their leader, even if he doesn't like this kind of shopkeeper Zhao in his heart, he has to intercede.
"Which of you dares to touch my shopkeeper to give it a try."
This is very domineering, but the innkeeper doesn't buy it: "I just moved, what if you shopkeeper did such a thing, don't you allow others to do the right thing for heaven, I really take care of this matter today." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised why the innkeeper was so tactful today.
Jiang Rujin is worried that she can't leave if she wants to leave tomorrow, although Shopkeeper Zhao has done such a thing, it can be regarded as her own clear understanding of his character, but these things are not the most important, what she cares about is what this Shopkeeper Zhao will do to her next.
She raised her head and looked at Shopkeeper Zhao very aggrieved: "Shopkeeper Zhao, I am grateful to you for taking care of me along the way, but I didn't expect you to ...... I've always thought of you as my elder but I didn't think you wanted to do something like that to me, it's really sad to think about it, can you tell me why I did this? ”
She couldn't understand why Shopkeeper Zhao was like this, after all, some good things were really unclear.
Shopkeeper Zhao didn't show the slightest abnormality on the road before, how could it suddenly become like this. There are many things that Jiang Rujin can't think of clearly. She felt that what had happened to her was really heartbreaking.
But these things are really not something she can think about now, and now so many people are looking at her, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.
Shopkeeper Zhao suddenly smiled bitterly: "Isn't this a moment of confusion, please don't be angry and forgive me this time." ”
This is really an understatement, Jiang Rujin didn't expect that Shopkeeper Zhao would still be so calm until now. But think about it, people like Shopkeeper Zhao may do things like this. She really didn't want to continue to deal with such a person.
She looked at the innkeeper and said, "Please let us get out of here now." I really don't want to stay for a quarter of an hour now, I just want to ask the shopkeeper to keep Zhao Zhang. ”
Rushing in the middle of the night was also Jiang Rujin's helpless move, she wanted to travel overnight and didn't want to stay.
The thought of living with such a malicious person makes me worried.
The innkeeper did not directly agree. There are still a lot of bandits downstairs, so he feels that he can't let Jiang Rujin go rashly now.
He felt that this was not the place to talk, so he said to Jiang Rujin: "Miss, please come out with me, I have something to discuss with Miss." ”
Jiang Rujin did not hesitate to follow the innkeeper out, lowered his head and did not touch the eyes of the onlookers, found a very secluded corner shopkeeper and said: "Miss, it is not a wise choice for you to leave now, it is very dark outside, and besides, these bandits we caught, who knows if there is anyone outside, if you leave now, won't you send it directly to the door, I don't want to see anything happen to you." ”
Although Jiang Rujin is only a guest in the hotel, as long as he moves in, he feels that he will be responsible for the guests, which is what they should do.
She didn't want Jiang Rujin to leave like this now, if he ran into any danger when he went out, he would really be a little unhappy.
Jiang Rujin was puzzled: "But if I don't leave this shopkeeper Zhao now, who knows if he will do anything to me if he will go on the road tomorrow?" ”
Her suspicions were not without a little merit.
The shopkeeper felt very reasonable and said: "These things that Miss is worried about are not without a little reason, but I suggest that you don't leave now, I have a way to know if Miss is willing to listen?" ”
Jiang Rujin motioned to the innkeeper to continue.
The innkeeper said very cautiously: "There is a road behind this inn, which is a village road leading to the village in front, and the village in front can also go to the town without taking the official road, if you want to leave, you can go there, of course, I have another better way." ”
He also really wanted to help Jiang Rujin, after all, it was inconvenient for a girl's family to go out, and now he encountered such a thing, and he still felt a little sympathy in his heart.
Therefore, these proposed methods are very sincere.
Jiang Rujin looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Please also ask the shopkeeper to explain." ”
"What I mean is that you leave and then turn back, tomorrow these people will definitely go to the government, and then you will leave after these people go to the government, don't stay in the town in front of you and leave directly, if you hurry up and squeeze a little bit, you will be able to catch up in front of them, this group of people is not easy to mess with, Zhao shopkeeper I have known people for many years who know what it looks like."
I really always thought that the shopkeeper Zhao was a good person, but now I was reminded by the innkeeper that I knew that I had been neighboring with wolves all along.
The surprise and fear in her heart were self-evident, and she couldn't calm down for a long time, and she was terrified when she thought of this.
"It's just the shopkeeper, I'm worried about meeting them again on the road"
The innkeeper said a little anxiously: "Why don't you listen to persuasion, I remind you of this matter, if you don't believe that you choose the route, it's okay, anyway, you can't stay here tonight, that is, I want to keep you, the shopkeeper Zhao is afraid that he won't spare you easily, how many people are here, you know, if something happens, how can it be good." ”
Jiang Rujin was scared in his heart, and he was really a little worried about what Shopkeeper Zhao would continue to do.
The innkeeper persuaded her to leave, in fact, she didn't want to offend people, which she knew very well in her heart, and she felt helpless.
sighed and said: "I won't embarrass the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper will help me settle the house money, I know when to leave." ”
Although the shopkeeper didn't want to offend the shopkeeper Zhao in his heart, he didn't want to really offend Jiang Rujin, all of them came and went, and when a guest left, the business would be greatly affected, so he said politely: "Miss, I don't really want to get rid of you, isn't this also for your good, if you really wait until dawn, it's always not good." ”
Jiang Rujin is not a fool, she knows that the shopkeeper is letting her leave now because if an official arrives tomorrow and there is no party present, it will be over.
She knew in her heart that the shopkeeper was actually facing the shopkeeper Zhao, otherwise she wouldn't have persuaded her to leave now.
smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that the innkeeper and the shopkeeper Zhao were actually the same, and it was inevitable that he would be a little disappointed.
After all, she has always felt that there are many good people in this world.
But what was happening in front of her had to make her think about it more, and the innkeeper was obviously a drunkard who didn't mean to drink.
So I feel very cold in my heart.
She finally suppressed the impulse in her heart, raised her head and looked at the shopkeeper and said: "I know that the shopkeeper has good intentions, so I will leave soon, the shopkeeper don't worry too much, I won't embarrass the shopkeeper." ”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked directly to the house, the people around there had already left, even the shopkeeper Zhao had left, leaving only the coachman sitting alone in the room with a worried face.
As soon as he saw her enter the house, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Miss, is there nothing wrong?" ”
Seeing the driver's worries, Jiang Rujin's heart warmed a lot.
Shaking his head and comforting: "You don't have to worry about me." ”
