Chapter III
The small flames on the candles danced on the table, as if torn by the darkness, emitting a faint and wavering light. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info The thick shadow covered Li Wuyan's face, making him look extremely hideous. The girl whose hands were tied with hemp rope swallowed her saliva and said a little nervously: "I specially extinguished the oil lamp and lit the candles, it turns out that your family is so poor?" I'm really sorry, I looked at it from the outside and thought your family was quite wealthy, so I sneaked in, but I didn't expect it to be the opposite. Those salted fish are probably your food for this winter, right? It's pathetic. ā
Li Wuyan was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "You little girl is really a dog's eye and looks down on people, although I am not rich, I am not inferior to those salted fish." The candles are lit to create an atmosphere, and the county officials told me that this is called mental suppression, and mental suppression, you know? Forget it, I don't know anything when I look at your little girl's film, and I have been brewing for so long in vain. ā
Perhaps thinking that this game of interrogating prisoners was not interesting, Li Wuyan lit the oil lamp again, and the room became much brighter. The girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief when Li Wuyan was not paying attention, and then immediately changed to look at him with a harmless smile.
Li Wuyan took a closer look at this stupid thief of unknown origin through the light. The girl had a simple bun tied around her head, and there were no extra decorations. The bright eyes flashed with agility, and the slender and thick eyelashes added a touch of charm to her. The lips are red and the teeth are white, and the skin is also very clean, not like a person who specializes in petty theft, but like a big lady who stays at home. The body is also wearing ordinary linen clothes, and there are no ornaments, and they look very simple. Is it just a strange merchant lady?
Li Wuyan circled around the girl a few more times, and felt that there were no other clues, so he walked back to his seat. As he was about to sit down, his eyes inadvertently swept the girl, but he found a very important detail - the embroidery on the girl's shoes. Although they are only two elegant little lotuses, they seem to be born printed on the upper, and they don't look abrupt, and Li Wuyan has never seen such a superb technique. And although these shoes look simple, but if you look closely, the delicate material is better than the silk material that Li Wuyan has seen, and it is obviously not something that ordinary people can afford.
Thinking of this, Li Wuyan's heart had a little bottom. He cocked Erlang's legs and said to the girl menacingly: "I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore, what's your name, where did you come from, how did you break into my house, what are you doing breaking into my house, quickly recruit all the masters." I advise you not to play tricks, if the master is unhappy, he will do you directly, and no one will know that you will be thrown directly into the sea to feed the fish in the wilderness here. ā
Facing Li Wuyan, who looked like he was going to eat people, the girl snickered in her heart, made a pitiful expression and said to Li Wuyan: "The slave's name is Jia Li, originally from Ningxian County, Jizhou, and because of the invasion of the northern barbarians, he had to leave his hometown and go to the south to seek refuge with relatives and friends. On the way, he encountered gangsters, and the slave escaped by taking water, but both parents were killed. With no possessions on their bodies, the slave family could only rely on wild fruits to satisfy their hunger. But the slave family was really hungry and couldn't stand it, and for a while the ghost lost his mind and broke into the son's house, hoping that the son had a large number, for the sake of the slave's life was so miserable, spare the slave's life, and don't send the slave family to the government. The slave family will definitely thank the son in the future. With that, two tears were squeezed out. The appearance of pear blossoms with rain is really heart-wrenching.
These words obviously contradicted the clues that Li Wuyan had found before, he thought for a while, then looked into the girl's eyes and asked, "You said you are from Jizhou?" It's not close to our Qingzhou. What month did you depart? ā
"I started walking at the beginning of May."
"What route is it taking?"
"We started from Jizhou, passing through Youzhou, Yingzhou, Dizhou, and then Qingzhou."
"It's mid-July, so more than two months is reasonable. Which southern city are you going to seek refuge in? ā
"Yangzhou."
"Where were your parents killed?"
"It's in Yunbei County, Qingzhou."
"Hey, isn't it right next door to our Zixi County? Well, I probably understand, I'll ask you one last question, what's your name? ā
"Uh, Jia Li, what's wrong?"
"Uh-huh, okay." Li Wuyan stood up and twisted his neck, and said to himself, "I don't know if Guo Qifu is asleep?" Eh, I don't want to bother him when it's a little late. Do you want to tie up and send it to the yamen in the county tomorrow? It's so troublesome. ā
The girl's eyes turned red when she heard this, she stood up and ran to Li Wuyan and asked, "Why?" Am I answering wrong? ā
Li Wuyan waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, your answer is very good, it should be said that it is perfect." ā
"Then why did you send me to the government? Oh, you're a stingy person! For a few salted fish, you have to send a lonely girl to the government! That's okay, you can send it, I'll accept my fate. ā
Li Wuyan looked at the girl's resigned appearance and couldn't help but be happy. He sat down next to the girl and playfully said, "I ask you, a little girl of twelve or thirteen, uh, you should be this age, right?" ā
"I'm twelve, there's nothing wrong with that!"
"That's good, let's go on. You see, a twelve-year-old girl, after suffering such a major accident as the death of both parents, can still calmly answer my question, and the answer is not a trace of error, it is perfect, do you think it is possible? ā
The girl's body stiffened visibly when she heard this, she quickly rolled her eyes, and then said confidently: "Isn't she smart, calm, and precocious?" You don't allow others to have a good memory! ā
Li Wuyan listened to the girl's answer and still said unhurriedly: "Then can you tell me why this girl is so afraid of going to the government?" Shouldn't it be more important to ask the government for help when your parents were killed? ā
"Uh...... She is afraid that she will be betrayed by corrupt officials in the government! Yes, that's right, maybe there is collusion between the gangsters and the people in the government, isn't it self-defeating to go to the government? ā
"Oh, then can you tell me what kind of environment I want to grow up in, a girl as young as twelve years old learned to pick locks?"
"That's because...... No, you're fooling me. The girl suddenly reacted and said angrily: "You kid stared at this from the beginning, right?" You asked so many questions just to make fun of me, right? ā
"yes, yes, you're awesome!" Li Wuyan gave the girl a thumbs up.
"Damn, dead perverts, psychopaths, go die! It's best to go down to the eighteen layers of hell and never be reborn! ā
The girl yelled at Li Wuyan, but Li Wuyan ignored her, and instead walked to the bed and began to remove the pillow. Seeing that Li Wuyan didn't react, the girl also felt a little bored. She paused, silently watching her swinging feet. After a while, the girl turned around and said to Li Wuyan in a pleading tone, "You don't really want to send me to the government, okay, don't send me over?" I'm really not a thief, I can swear to God! ā
"Well, I know you're not a thief." Li Wuyan took out a worn-out cloth bag from the core of the pillow, then lit up the girl, and said, "There should be no little thief in the world who is so stupid, he hasn't even found out that he is sleeping on silver after sleeping for so long." ā
"yes, I...... Well? No, how do I feel like I'm being tricked by you again? ā
"Delusion, delusion."
After Li Wuyan hid the silver close to his body, he turned to the girl with a disgruntled face and said, "I don't think you look like a bad person, so I won't send you to the government." But don't think how good I will be to you, I won't untie the rope for you, you will sleep tonight, and I will untie it for you tomorrow morning. ā
"Really? That's great, I take back what I said, you're such a good person! The girl suddenly smiled, and her eccentric energy returned, and she said to Li Wuyan pitifully: "This table is too difficult to sleep, you just let me sleep on the bed, I promise not to move." ā
Li Wuyan found this girl really interesting, he flicked the girl's brain, and said funny: "Aren't you afraid that I will do something to you?" ā
The girl smiled and replied, "No, I believe that you are a good person and a person of good taste." You definitely can't look down on me with no breasts and no ass. ā
"No matter how much you flatter me, I can't do it!" Li Wuyan walked to the kitchen and said without looking back: "You have confidence in me, but I don't!" In order not to be entangled by you little liar, let's be innocent. ā
"Coward!" The girl yelled at Li Wuyan and grimaced at his back, but Li Wuyan ignored her.
The room was quiet, except for the faint sound of the kitchen. The girl lay on the table, looked at the bright oil lamp, and suddenly said softly,
"What a nice guy."
