CHAPTER XXII

Fortunately, the place where Mr. Jiang lived was very close to the prison and far from the city, so I went straight to the market, found a small inn, and lived in.

I cleaned the blood-stained knife and squinted as the sunset outside the window went down little by little, until the lights came on and a basin of water turned pale red, and I wiped the knife clean and put it back in the scabbard. After taking a bath, the clothes on my body were changed and washed with water in a bucket, and my body did not have any floral fragrance except for the faint smell of blood. The good days have passed, and the stars are met. From now on, you can't even rely on the Qinglian Society, so you can only hide in an inconspicuous place alone, surviving for a long time.

I lay down on the hard bed, closed my eyes, and enjoyed the silence of the moment. It should have been the age to marry and settle down, but he was wandering outside, fleeing for his life, with no place to stay, and he didn't dare to talk about his past with others.

I opened my eyes and looked out the window at the deep blue sky, with a few stars twinkling from time to time, just like his eyes.

It's really unproductive, why do you think of Enron again? He was already dead, dead in the past, and the last time he died in the betrayal of the Qinglian Society.

Before I knew it, I was asleep. I knew I was having some messy dreams, but I couldn't control any of them.

When I finally woke up from my dream, a ray of morning sunlight shone in through the window and hit my hand. I got up and put on my coat, and a strong sense of loneliness came over me, as if I had returned to that time when I was helpless, no, I had always been helpless.

I went downstairs and looked at the shopkeeper. This shopkeeper is a middle-aged man, he should be a diligent and honest man, after all, if he was as sleek as the little shopkeeper before, this inn would not be so small. I asked the shopkeeper for some fruit to eat, and then I grabbed the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, you see that there are not many people now, tell me, what kind of work is there in this place?" ”

The shopkeeper looked at me and asked, "Girl, where are you from?" ”

I sighed and said: "Before my father died, I asked me to come from Dandong to find a relative, but the relative lied to me, he was not in Xuzhou at all, I was alone, I didn't know where to go, and it was not enough, I was about to starve to death, do you see if you can find some work for me to do?" ”

The shopkeeper showed a pitying expression and said, "It's not easy to see you, what will you do, tell me, so that I can help you find a job." ”

"I know how to read, I don't know if I can teach?"

"There is no school around here for you to teach, and your age is not suitable for being a scholar, why don't you go to be a maid?"

"Before I came here, I was indeed a maid in someone else's house, but I didn't do well and was kicked out, so don't let me be a maid anymore."

"Then what else would you do?"

"I know some herbs, is this okay?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "There are indeed a few medical centers around here, if you go and touch them, maybe they can promise to let you go and grab medicine." ”

"Do you know any people from the hospital, can take care of me, I just came here, I don't know the road, I don't adapt to the water and soil, I'm afraid that something will go wrong, don't be kicked out again."

"That's fine, come out for a walk with me."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper stood up, and when he was about to step out, he suddenly said, "Or, you will do chores with me, and eat and live with the other men, but I have no woman here, so I will arrange a separate room for you to sleep." ”

"Cheng, thank you shopkeeper!"

"You call me Uncle Sun, I remember that the name you registered last night was ......"

"My name is Liu Qiqi, and Uncle Sun just calls me Xiaoliu."

"Oh yes, Liu Qiqi, okay, Xiaoyanagi, you will do it here in the future, I will let the guys mention you."

"Thank you, Uncle Sun!"

Even if you settle down, if you hear any rumors, I'll make up another reason to leave.

Uncle Sun has a very virtuous wife, and a twelve-year-old son, who is also smart and clever, and in my opinion, Uncle Sun is already very satisfied in this life. There are three guys in this inn, one is a cook, and two are juniors, and now with me, it seems a little redundant. However, Uncle Sun didn't let his wife do any work, so the sister made some embroidery every day and sold it. My son has to walk a long way to the school every day, so it can be said that there are only three people working in this inn.

One of the two juniors didn't want to run around in the front hall, preferring to wash the dishes every day, so I took on the work he used to run the hall, which was exactly what I wanted.

The inn is not big, but there are a lot of people who come every day, after all, it is in the downtown area, although the inn is small, it makes a lot of profits.

Two juniors, one is called Fortunately, the place where Mr. Jiang lived was very close to the prison and far away from the city, so I went straight to the market, found a small inn, and lived in.
