Chapter 48
No one is going to have trouble with money, especially someone like me, who is used to living a hard life, not to regard money as life, but of course it is better to have more.
There are also small shops around the inn, and the things in them are not as dazzling as those in the capital, and the jade is not as good as the color in the capital. But I looked at it anyway, and while dealing with the inquiries of the shopkeepers, I thought to myself that I would never be able to give these things to Madame.
After less than an hour, I wanted to go back to the inn to stay, and when I passed the shopkeeper, he grabbed me and asked, "Girl, who are you from Xuan Gongzi?" ”
I shook off his hand and said, "I'm his distant relative, his sister." ”
"Xuan Gongzi still has distant relatives? I've never heard him say it. ”
Looking at the shopkeeper's slightly greasy face, I felt a little nauseous, so I said, "I'm tired, go back first, I have time to talk about something." ”
Back in the house, Xuan Lonely lay face in, seemingly asleep. I tiptoed to put the silver next to him, and suddenly found that there was only one bed in the room.
What do you mean? Sleeping together again? Wait, why should I say again?
It was already unitary, I was a little hungry, looking at Xuan Lone, who was still asleep, I went downstairs alone and asked the shopkeeper when the food would be delivered.
The shopkeeper said that in about half an hour, I would go upstairs, and the sound of the door opening and closing finally woke up Xuan Shi, he frowned and looked at me, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
I sat down at the tea table, looked at him and said, "Wait for dinner, if you don't eat, I'll eat alone." ”
Xuan sat up helplessly, sobered up for a while, and got up to wash his face. When I came back from washing my face, I saw that he didn't seem to be awake yet, so I said, "Do you want me to slap you to wake you up?" ”
"Nonsense."
Xuan Lin sat next to me, poured tea, I saw that there was an embroidery on the tea table, so I picked it up and played with it, I don't know who left this embroidery, the pattern on it was messy, and it was not embroidered, I wore a few threads randomly, Xuan Lin asked, "Will you?" ”
"I won't."
"I thought you would, you could help me do it."
"You embroidered this?"
"yes, it's bad, I know."
I wanted to laugh, but I thought I wouldn't be able to do it myself, so why laugh at him. So I asked, "Why are you embroidering this?" ”
"My father embroidered a bird for me when I was a child, and then I broke the handkerchief and threw it away, who knew that he was gone, and I can't do anything to remedy it now."
"If you miss someone, you don't have to have a physical object by your side, just have him in your heart, and he will know."
Xuan was silent, and I continued: "If you still want it, why don't you go find other women and tell them what the embroidery looked like back then, so many skillful women must have a way to embroider a rough idea." ”
"I don't want to. You're right, missing someone doesn't have to be physically by your side. ”
Xuan Lin got up and threw the embroidery in the wooden barrel on the side, and breathed a long sigh of relief, I looked at his appearance, and couldn't help but sigh in my heart that this person is usually so serious and rigid in front of everyone, and now he looks like a child.
"Tomorrow accompany me up the mountain to worship my father."
"Okay."
After eating, Xuan Lin drank some wine, his eyes looked strange, and I smiled: "Why haven't I seen you drunk before?" ”
"I don't know...... This wine doesn't seem to be strong, how can it ......?"
In fact, I can feel that my face is also hot, and the wine is really not strong, but my heart is always itchy, and it seems that there is a desire waiting to erupt.
"There's something wrong with this wine, stop drinking it."
I stood up and went to the side to induce vomiting, Xuan Shi didn't seem to have the strength to vomit out, he fell on the table, panting, I thought to myself, this person is drunk and the effect of drugs, I may not be able to beat him, not to mention that I am also a little up now, and my movements must not be as agile as when I am awake.
I poured a lot of tea, sobered up a lot, looked at Xuan Shi, and wanted to drag him to the bed, but he didn't fall asleep at all, he stood up suddenly, pinched my shoulders with both hands, and held me down, I looked at him in horror, but he lost his strength and pounced. I helped him to the other side of the bed, thinking that this man was really heavy, and I was going to beat him up when he was sober, but as soon as I was distracted, Xuan Xuan turned around, pressed me on the bed, and stared at me.
"What are you doing? I'm beating you! I shouted in a low voice.
Xuan Shi didn't speak, but his face was getting closer and closer to me, and I could feel his heavy gasps stimulating my ears again and again in my ears, and I wanted to push him away, but I found that at this time, I was facing Xuan Shi, and the methods I had learned to defend against the enemy seemed useless.
"Get out of the way!" I almost scolded him in obscene language, but at this time, for a drunk person, whether he scolded him or hit him, he could turn a deaf ear, and it was easy to provoke his anger.
Xuan Lin closed his eyes, his lips falling heavily to the corners of my mouth, and then he slid down, burying his whole face in my neck.
"Lonely?"
There was no response for a long time, I knew that he was completely asleep, so it took a lot of effort to turn him over, put him in a good position, and let him lie flat on the bed, I went downstairs and asked the shopkeeper for bath water, and after a while, Xiao Er added water, I locked the door, and suddenly felt a little wrong, and then I went to the window to take a look, and I saw the shopkeeper desperately crawling down. I slammed the window shut, locked it shut, and put a piece of clothing in the window, and then soaked slowly behind the screen until the water was almost all cold.
I slept on the ground, a little far away from the bed, lest Xuan Lonely fall and fall on me, so I barely slept all night, and the next day I woke up when it was already three poles, I didn't feel right, I looked down, I didn't know when I had slept on the bed, turned my head to look to the side, Xuan Lonely was sitting at the tea table reading a book.
I got up with my bones, went to wash up first, stood next to Xuan Shi with a gloomy face, and said, "Do you know what you did last night?" ”
"What? Didn't I get drunk last night? ”
"What else?"
"And ...... Did I climb into bed and sleep on my own? Got you to sleep on the ground for a night? ”
"Nonsense, I helped you to the bed! Do you really think you have that much self-control? ”
"Sorry for bothering you."
"And that's not all! Think for yourself what else is going on? ”
Xuan Xiao was a little stunned and said, "Should you ...... And helped me take a bath, right? I got up in the morning and washed it again. ”
I didn't know what to say, so I was silent for a moment and decided to say it anyway: "You kissed me last night!" ”
Xuan Xiao stood up suddenly and stammered, "No, it's impossible, I'll do this kind of thing?" ”
"Forget it, I'll just think you're drunk and you don't know. By the way, someone put something in the wine last night, you have to ask the shopkeeper. ”
"What's that?"
"I don't know yet." I picked up the rest of the wine from last night and smelled it, there was a little pungent smell wafting out, but I couldn't smell anything. If the shopkeeper gave us an aphrodisiac, I wouldn't be able to smell it, after all, killers rarely use it, "like an aphrodisiac." ”
"Aphrodisiacs? How could he-"
"Then ask yourself why you came to such a place so many times and almost hurt me."
"I ...... I'm sorry, but if it's really the shopkeeper's problem, I'll definitely confront him. ”
"Forget it, I'll go."
Xuan Xiao grabbed me and said, "What are you going to do?" What can you say? I at least have the identity of a head catcher to deter him, what is your identity? Maids? ”
I shook off his hand and said, "The killer focuses on breaking his heart, not what identity can decide everything, if I can't even break this little shopkeeper, then my experience in the past few years is all in vain." ”
"You...... Forget it, no one can stop you when you axe up, if you really have any way to get out of the way, you can also save me some snacks and directly arrest him and bring him back to the capital. ”
I went downstairs and stared at the shopkeeper, his eyes were evasive, he didn't dare to look at me directly, I stood next to him and said, "How is the shopkeeper's business lately?" ”
He laughed and said, "So-so, why did the girl ask about this?" ”
"Why don't we sit down and talk?"
Without waiting for him to agree, I sat down on a stool next to me and took out the knife around my waist and wiped it slowly. The shopkeeper came over hesitantly and sat down, not trembling at all. However, there are few people who dare to drug the head catcher, and his courage is not small.
"What's the matter with the girl?"
"There aren't many people," I said, looking around and turning to the shopkeeper, "I ask you, do you know a medicine called Ecstasy?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Ah, isn't it an aphrodisiac?" ”
I whispered, "Do you have anything here?" I want to give my brother something. ”
The shopkeeper said very simply: "No, I am a serious inn, how can I have these things?" ”
I rubbed my knife noncommittally, waiting for him to continue asking. Sure enough, he couldn't sit still and asked, "Miss Xuan, what are you doing for Master Xuan?" ”
"Hey, it's not because he tried it before, and he said that it worked well, so I wanted to ask you if you know."
He ...... Tried it? With whom? ”
"Come here, I'll tell you quietly."
The shopkeeper really leaned his ear over, and I whispered, "Do you know how many years it takes to drug an ordinary commoner?" Do you know how many years you have to squat for drugging the headhunters in the capital? ”
The shopkeeper leaned back and said, "I...... I don't know. ”
"I don't know if you dare to do it, you can really do it."
I looked at him with a smile, the shopkeeper's hand was already shaking, and I said, "We are going back to the capital, so you can also experience the scenery of the capital, how about it?" ”
"You haven't finished your drink?"
"Ask what are you doing with this, even if we all finish drinking, we can smell the smell of medicine in the wine cup, no matter what kind of medicine it is, if you provoke Xuan Gongzi's head, you will definitely die. If you don't die, it will be Xuan Gongzi who will open up to you, let alone be a shopkeeper here in your life, even if you are a cow and a horse for Xuanfu, it will be redundant! ”
"I was wrong! Miss Xuan, I was really wrong, I thought ...... I thought you weren't sisters and brothers because you didn't look alike, so I thought ......"
"Did you want to see my body last night?" I laughed and slammed my knife into the wooden table, saying, "If you are so interested in the human body, I can cut off your head, disembowel you, and hold your head next to your body so that you can see it carefully." ”
The shopkeeper fell back all of a sudden, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to me and said, "Miss Xuan! Ask Miss Xuan and Master Xuan to let the villain go! It's wrong for the villain to be drugged, and it's not right for the villain to peek...... The villain will be disposed of by the two of them in the next life! Just don't do it to the villain's family! ”
Xuan Lin slowly walked down from the upper floor and said to me, "Let's go, change to another place." Then he said to the shopkeeper: "Hurry up and close the shop, don't think about escaping." ”
"Okay, the villain will close the store."
The shopkeeper almost crawled away, explaining the "aftermath" to Xiao Er, while packing up his things.
"There's also an inn nearby, let's go there to put our stuff and get back on our way tomorrow morning. After eating, you will accompany me to worship my father. ”
I nodded and asked, "Where is this man?" ”
Xuan Lin sneered: "I also have people here, so I will send him to the prison in the capital first." ”
