Chapter 13: The Daring Thief
The two quickly exchanged glances, Lu Li sat quietly at the table, and Shangguan Yinling pulled the hem of his skirt and swayed his steps to open the door.
Standing at the door was the thin monkey who had been disrespectful to them that day, but at this time he had completely changed his face, groveling and respectful, with a smile on his face, completely devoid of his previous arrogance.
Before Lu Li could wonder why this person had changed so quickly, a voice sounded outside the door.
"Big girl, this is the wedding dress specially purchased for you and the second master when the third master enters the city, and it will be the big day for you and the second master in two days, and you must be the most beautiful woman in the world when you wear this wedding dress."
Lu Li frowned, and after hearing his words clearly, he suddenly laughed, and when his liver trembled, he accidentally brushed off the teacup on the table.
The crisp sound of the teacup falling to the ground attracted the attention of the thin monkey, and Lu Xun tightened his eyes and hurriedly went to the window to look at the situation outside the door.
"Big girl, ...... in this house"
"I think some rat brought the porcelain cup over, and handed it to me."
Shangguan Yinling stretched out his hands, and the thin monkey obediently put the plate with the big red wedding dress into her hand.
The door closed, Shangguan Yinling's face changed a few times, and his face was dark when he looked at the wedding dress in his hand.
As soon as he entered the door, he threw the wedding dress on the table, Lu Li was stunned and held back a smile, and sat honestly on the side, pretending not to hear anything.
"In two days, if there is no progress, I will detonate the arrow, and then you and I should cooperate with Xu Yun to capture Sparrowhawk Village."
"Yes, sir." Lu Li clasped her fists and saluted, although she thought that the investigation needed to be carried out cautiously, but she was in a hurry, and she couldn't let her top boss commit to Qin Hai, if it was passed out, how would Shangguan Yuling mix in the officialdom from now on?
Late at night, about the end of the hour, Lu Li quietly got up and went to the kitchen to cook porridge, not long after the porridge boiled, there was a slight noise outside the door, Gong Chengqi held the sword, pushed the door and walked into the kitchen.
Lu Li raised his head, met his gaze, thinking that it would only be two more days to cook porridge for him, his expression softened a little, took out the porridge, put it on the table, helped him move the bench away, and let him sit down.
"This big brother, you and I have known each other for two days, and you haven't told me your name yet?"
"Gong Chengqi." Gong Chengqi took the opportunity to sit down at the table, picked up the bowl of porridge and drank it, "What about you?" ”
"Lu Li." Lu Li sat down beside him, looking at him covered in dust, always alone, and only alone from the school field in the middle of the night, thinking that he was also a lonely person.
What's more, his status as the wife of the village caused him to suffer a lot of white eyes, so he deliberately practiced at night.
Whatever the possibility, he was an innocent and poor man in the village.
has a bleak background, and her body is like duckweed, just like her.
"Erhu, they all call me Erya, you can call me Erya." With the feeling of sympathy for the same disease, Lu Li couldn't help but shorten the distance between the two a lot in his heart, "Brother Gong, why do you practice late at night?" But the brothers in this village don't want to see you? ”
"No, it's just that at this hour, it's just quiet in the school field." Gong Chengqi bent his lips and smiled, telling the truth, but in Lu Li's eyes, this explanation was nothing more than his protection of his self-esteem.
"Brother Gong, come over early tomorrow, and I'll steam a chicken for you."
"So good?" Gong Chengqi smiled, but he didn't know why this girl took such good care of him.
"Brother Gong, do you know anything about the big boss in the village?" Lu Li asked, tentatively looking at Gong Chengqi's face.
She asked this question, which was quite risky in some ways, and it was very likely that she would arouse his suspicion by rashly inquiring into the identity of the big boss without knowing the details of Gong Chengqi.
But at the same time, the answer to this question can bring her two important messages.
The first is what is the relationship between Gong Chengqi and the big boss, and the second is that they may be able to find out some information that is beneficial to them, so that even if they really want to ignite the arrow, they will not be unprepared for their opponents.
"What do you ask him to do?"
Sure enough, Gong Chengqi looked stunned, revealing a somewhat strange look.
Lu Li was even more convinced that he was the wife of the big boss who had been taken captive from abroad.
"Legend has it that our big boss is nearly six feet tall and burly, and the amount of food is even more terrifying, but I have been in the village for a few days, and I have never seen the big boss, so I am very curious, Brother Gong, have you ever seen the big boss?"
"Self, nature has seen it." Lying in front of someone for the first time, Gong Chengqi looked a little nervous, and his words stumbled, "The big boss is indeed burly, but the amount of food is not so big." ”
"How did the big boss treat you?" Lu Li heard him say this, and subconsciously asked the doubts in his heart, and after asking, he suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly changed his words, "I mean that the big boss is good to the brothers?" ”
"It's not okay, the big boss doesn't ask too much about things in the village." Thinking of this, Gong Chengqi also felt guilty and weak in his heart, he didn't seem to care about these things.
It's not good, it's not good, looking at his embarrassed and unspeakable look, Lu Li scolded this big boss in his heart.
Since you have married someone, you should treat him well with all your heart, why do you bully people to such an extent?
If they had the strength to escape from the stockade, she must find a way to get him out and set him free.
"Brother Gong, don't worry, with me for a day, I will never let you go hungry, come, drink porridge, and be full."
She gave him another bowl, Gong Chengqi took the bowl, and suddenly remembered the days when he fled with his family a few years ago.
At that time, in order to hide their identities, they begged for food and slept in broken temples, hid among beggars, were ostracized by local beggars, and were beaten by them every day.
"Erya, thank you, for so many years, no one has ever made me such a delicious porridge."
"It's okay, tomorrow you come, I'll do it for you."
The two of them were chatting happily, not noticing a figure in the distance slowly approaching the kitchen.
He slowly approached the kitchen, and when he approached the door, he quietly approached and listened to the conversation inside.
Gong Chengqi's ear power was excellent, even if he found out that something was wrong, he hurriedly made a silent gesture at Lu Li, and turned his head sideways to blow out the candlelight.
"Bold thief, who is having a private meeting in the kitchen!"
Seeing this, the man knew that he was exposed, and slammed the door open, and there was silence in the kitchen, and he fixed his eyes on it, and a black shadow pushed open the window, jumped out, and he hurriedly jumped out of the window.
Lu Li hid next to the stove and breathed a sigh of relief.
Brother Gong, thank you for your kindness.
Outside the kitchen, Gong Chengqi ran out for a distance, and stopped not far from the school grounds, the thin man hurriedly caught up, looking at the back, he only felt that this person was so arrogant.
"Bold thief, why don't you turn around quickly?!"
