"By the way, did Uncle Lu tell those people where Xiaoyu went that day?"

Ling Yu began to worry again, and the expression on his face became a little anxious.

"Uh, no...... Yes. ”

Lu Qian could only continue to lie.

The current situation has made her a bit difficult to ride.

She couldn't say that she had already told those people the address, so she impulsively ran to Qingzhou Mansion to prevent Ling Yu from worrying about Ye Xiaoyu's safety; She couldn't tell Ling Yu that the address of those people was wrong, because those people were in Ling Yu's name at the time, so that even Ling Yu was deceived by their Lu family, even if Ling Yu didn't say anything on his face, there would definitely be a gap in his heart.

Thinking about it this way, it's safer to lie directly and say "no".

"Why did Xiaoyu suddenly think of going back to her hometown?"

Ling Yu's face softened slightly, and he asked again in an instant.

"Well, maybe I miss that over there, after all, there is still a big gap between here and her hometown."

This time she was depressed, she didn't expect it to be so troublesome to lie.

"Looking at Xiaoyu's usual appearance, I thought she was quite used to living here."

After making sure that Ye Xiaoyu was okay, Ling Yu got up from his chair and planned to leave.

Lu Yishou and his wife also lived in Beiyuan, and he was afraid that staying here too long would attract their attention. When the time comes, it will be another phone call to say, and Ling Yu is not in the mood now.

Seeing Ling Yu say this, Lu Qian smiled and didn't speak again. It's not that she doesn't want to say it, it's mainly that she doesn't know what else to say, and she has lied before, the so-called saying too much is wrong. In case it's not fun.

In June, the sun is blazing, even if all the ventilation windows in the teahouse are opened, it can't offset the heat emitted by the guests.

Ye Xiaoyu is even more so.

At that time, she was bent on escaping from that place, thinking that Rongzhou was more suitable for her, and she didn't even take the hot summer into account. She should have thought a long time ago, if it wasn't cold in winter, it would definitely be even hotter in summer. At first, my brain twitched. I forgot the most important law of the southern climate.

For the job of being a partner in a teahouse, she originally wanted to work for a month and not come after receiving her salary, but because she couldn't find a suitable livelihood during this period, Ye Xiaoyu could only stay here. Today is exactly the third month. Ye Xiaoyu got off work early. I plan to go to the market to buy something after receiving my salary and treat myself well.

"Xiaoyu, are you ready to go?"

Lu Tiangui came down from upstairs and saw Ye Xiaoyu folding the guy's clothes that he had changed. He asked.

"Well, I'll pack up and leave."

Ye Xiaoyu raised her head and replied.

"I'm almost there, let's go to dinner together."

Lu Tiangui said with a smile.

In the past three months, if there is nothing to do after work at night, Lu Tiangui usually asks Ye Xiaoyu to eat together.

"Junior officer, do you want to come with us?"

The two were chatting here, and Ye Xiaoyu saw the little official walking out in a hurry, and out of politeness, she asked more.

"No need."

The other party coldly dropped a sentence and disappeared into the crowd on Qianmen Street.

This petty official is really cold.

As soon as "Gao Leng" came out this time, a figure that had not been seen for a long time suddenly appeared in Ye Xiaoyu's mind, but fortunately, it was only a flash, and it did not consume too much of Ye Xiaoyu's mind.

"What are you going to eat?"

Walking down the street, Lu Tiangui asked.

In the past few months, in order to save money, the two of them have come out to eat either noodles or vermicelli, because they eat too often, and the director Ye Xiaoyu now feels sick to his stomach when he hears something related to "noodles".

"Let's go to the restaurant in front of us to eat, I'm the one who just got paid today."

Ye Xiaoyu patted her chest, looked at Lu Tiangui and said.

"What's so embarrassing to let you break the bank?"

After getting along for three months, Lu Tiangui has gradually become familiar with Ye Xiaoyu, and his attitude has become a little casual, and he will no longer be as restrained as when he first met.

"Come on, I don't plan to invite you to eat any delicacies from the mountains and seas, it's just the small restaurant in front of me."

Ye Xiaoyu said with a smile.

She's going to have to order some fish and meat today. But when I think about the salary of only one or two, it doesn't seem to be much better.

Although the sun has already set, the night market in Rongzhou City has just begun. There are food stalls all the way on the street, and every time Ye Xiaoyu passes by, she will linger for a while. She won't buy it to save money, but she won't miss anything if she looks at it.

“…… Didn't you say that if you put it with you for a month, you can get double? It's been almost two months now......"

In the alley next to it, there was such a sound.

The voice was a little familiar, which made Ye Xiaoyu walk inside without stopping.

"Wait a minute, where are you going?"

Lu Tiangui grabbed Ye Xiaoyu's clothes, and suddenly realized that the other party was a woman, and he instantly let go of his hand.

"Didn't you hear the sound inside? It's a little familiar, and I want to go inside and have a look. ”

Ye Xiaoyu pointed to the dark alley next to her.

"It is estimated that the loan shark is asking for money, let's not wade into this troubled water."

The two of them are just humble ordinary people who can't be more humble, and Lu Tiangui doesn't want to meddle in things.

Ye Xiaoyu also stopped.

Lu Tiangui is right, now he is in Rongzhou, he has no relatives and no reason here, he is just a young man in a teahouse, in order to save his life, he can avoid everything he can. Ye Xiaoyu was suddenly a little surprised, she has always been cold, when did she start to become so warm-hearted, even taking care of strangers' affairs?

"You're right."

Ye Xiaoyu said. If you want to live here for a long time, it's better to get into less trouble.

"Where are you going? That money is all my belongings, and if you don't give me the money, you can't go anywhere......"

The two were about to walk forward when another sound came from the alley.

This time, Lu Tiangui heard clearly. The owner of the voice looked like an acquaintance.

"I said that all the money is deposited in the money village in Yuejing, if you want money, I have to ask someone to go to Yuejing to get it, there are 108,000 miles away from here, where is it so fast?"

Another voice came from the alley.

This voice is more familiar to Ye Xiaoyu.

She doesn't need to look at people, just listen to the voice, and she can confirm who the other person is.

"You said you were going to get it last month, and now it's been a month, but it's still not there."

The other voice grew weak. Carrying grievances.

"It's a petty officer."

Lu Tiangui said impatiently. The whole person is going to rush into the alley.

This time, Ye Xiaoyu caught him.

"Let's wait, there's no point in rushing in like this."

Ye Xiaoyu's head was running at high speed, and she wanted to find a way in the fastest time.

"The other one inside is that fake Ling Yu."

Seeing that Lu Tiangui was still anxious, Ye Xiaoyu added another sentence. That fake Ling Yu's unique voice. She could make out with her eyes closed.

Judging by the on-and-off conversation just now. It is estimated that the petty official listened to the words of the fake Ling Yu. Depositing the money in his so-called money bank, he originally said that he could double it in one month, but now three months have passed. Not to mention the interest, you can't even get the principal back.

"Bang-"

Ye Xiaoyu was hesitating, and the sound of bamboo poles falling to the ground suddenly came from the alley.

"No, I'll have to go in and have a look."

Lu Tiangui took a step forward and rushed directly into the alley.

Since this is already the case, let's take one step at a time, Ye Xiaoyu followed Lu Tiangui into the alley.

The alley was not as dark as it was when viewed from the outside, and because of the light of the shops on the street, people could still see faces inside.

When Ye Xiaoyu and Lu Tiangui entered, only the junior official was left curled up in the corner, and the fake Ling Yu had already walked away from the other end of the alley. The sound of the bamboo pole falling to the ground just now was probably accidentally bumped into by the fake Ling Yu when he left.

"Petty Officials......

Seeing the little official squatting on the ground, Lu Tiangui hurriedly squatted down and shouted softly.

"Why are you here?"

The junior official raised his head and saw that it was Lu Tiangui, and his voice trembled a little.

"Can you walk on your feet? It's dark and unsafe in this alley, so let's get out of here. ”

Saying that, Lu Tiangui had to reach out to help.

"It's okay, I can walk on my own."

As he spoke, the petty officer got up from the ground. After patting his body, he suddenly saw that Ye Xiaoyu was also beside him, and his face turned cold again.

"What the hell is going on? You won't also save the money with that Young Master Ling, right? ”

In the restaurant, Lu Tiangui looked at the little official sitting next to him and asked.

"Hmm."

The junior officer nodded helplessly.

"You're too impulsive, you should discuss it with me first."

Lu Tiangui spoke reproachfully.

"Discuss? How to negotiate? Needless to say, I can't even see your shadow. As soon as I got to work, I didn't see anyone. ”

Ye Xiaoyu ordered a lot of her favorite dishes today, such as braised fish and salt-and-pepper pork ribs, so she kept her head down and ate it violently since just now, not paying attention to the conversation between the two people opposite.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm here, and sometimes you refuse to ask you to eat together. ”

Lu Tiangui said with a smile.

"You two fellows are chatting, I'm going to join in the fun."

The rice in the bowl had bottomed out, and Ye Xiaoyu finally took her mind back from the meal with satisfaction, but as soon as she came back to her senses, she heard such a sentence.

Originally, the two of them chatted with Ye Xiaoyu and didn't plan to mix blindly, but this sentence made her a little interested. No wonder he was reluctant to ask Xiaoguan to join him every time he ate, it turned out that he didn't like Ye Xiaoyu to eat with the two of them.

But isn't the petty official also a man?

Is it?

Ye Xiaoyu glanced up at him and didn't find anything unusual.

Maybe people just like to reject newcomers. Just like when I was studying in my previous life, the transfer students who just came to the school were always excluded by some of their classmates.

"Don't be like this, little official, Xiaoyu is very easy to get along with."

In order to better hide herself, Ye Xiaoyu asked Lu Tiangui to declare her name as "Xiaoyu".

Such a name is not only more down-to-earth, but also very in line with Ye Xiaoyu's current identity, just a guy in a teahouse, just have a code name for people to call, and don't have to think about other things. (To be continued......)
