Ning Yue's subconscious movements were very fast, but they were still not as fast as Zhili, and she saw that her small hand was raised and pressed down on the sword grid of Di Xuan, and she instantly stopped the intention of drawing the sword.

Shaking her head slightly, the girl smiled and said, "Wait a minute, it's okay, it's Sister Qing who is here." ”

With that, she rolled over, her curvy petite body almost grazing the ceiling, and when she fell, she had already turned to look at the corner of the attic and grinned.

In front of her, a plainly dressed woman was suddenly startled by her sudden approach, and instinctively stepped back, but she didn't expect to step on the stairs and fall backwards.

The exclamation sounded, Zhili quickly reached out and grabbed it, and in the blink of an eye, she had already dragged the other party back to the attic, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Qing, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine. Xiao Zhili, you still move so fast, but next time, let's say hello first, it scared me. The woman patted her chest, feeling a little palpitating. Then, she glanced deeper into the attic, a puzzled expression.

"Xiao Zhili brought someone back last night?"

Suddenly, Zhili looked embarrassed, scratched her mind and replied, "That...... Sister Qing, you also know, I have nowhere else to go, and Brother Ning Yue is seriously injured, so I have to bring him here. Actually, not last night, but the night before yesterday. It's just that she didn't wake up yesterday, and I don't think it's easy to explain, so I didn't say anything first......"

"Badly hurt?"

Muttering these words, a faint look of doubt flashed in Sister Qing's eyes.

Seeing this, Zhili shook her hand again and again and said, "I was injured by the bad guys!" Brother Ning Yue is a very good person, of course, not as good as Sister Qing. ”

Nodding, Sister Qing responded: "Okay, since it's Xiao Zhili's friend, it should be no problem." ”

After that, she handed a large coarse porcelain bowl in her hand to Zhili, only to see that it was half a bowl of very thin millet porridge and two coarse grain steamed buns.

"Seeing that you haven't come down after the previous time, I brought you breakfast, and I want to see if something has happened...... However, only yours was prepared. Wait a minute, I'll go get some more. ”

Taking the big bowl, Zhili smiled and nodded in response: "Then thank you Sister Qing." ”

With a very light footsteps downstairs, she also returned to Ning Yue and handed out the big bowl.

"Brother Ning Yue has slept for so long, he must be hungry, right? Moreover, the wound heals faster when it is full. ”

Subconsciously took the coarse porcelain bowl, Ning Yue glanced at the bowl, the millet porridge was very thin, and his reflection could almost be reflected. As for the two coarse grain steamed buns, they look pretty good, and they are very large, but the shape is not very regular.

It was true that he was a little hungry, however, Ning Yue was not in a hurry to eat, but asked first: "Zhili, can you ask first, what does the family that took you in?" Who are they? ”

Zhili replied without thinking: "A sister, an old grandfather, this house has three floors, the first floor opens a shop to sell some flour and grains, the second floor they live by themselves, and the third floor is here." ”

Pressing her little head, Ning Yue smiled helplessly: "That's two floors, this is an attic." ”

Immediately, he handed back the large porcelain bowl.

Looking at the big bowl handed back, Zhili's eyes widened, and she wondered: "What's the matter, isn't Brother Ning Yue hungry?" No, even if you're not hungry, you have to eat some, it's good for you. ”

"You have to let me wash up, right? Zhili will eat first. And help me go to the staircase and watch down. Since you're a big sister who took you in, it's not good for her to see me changing clothes, right? ”

Flicking Zhili's smooth forehead, Ning Yue shook his head gently.

"That's right."

Nodding, Zhili walked to the staircase with a big bowl and sat down, grabbed a big steamed bun and took a big bite, her eyes suddenly narrowed, and her little face was full of satisfaction.

Ning Yue also took the opportunity to lift the quilt and prepare to dress. However, when he grabbed the clothes he had scattered aside, his brows furrowed.

The previous battle with Yang Feng could be described as tragic, and his robe was torn in many places, and now it was almost a ragged rag, stained with congealed blood. It may be possible to barely cover your body, but you should never walk out in it.

"It seems that it is necessary to change the set."

"Huh? Brother Ning Yue, what are you talking about? ”

Hearing this, Zhili, who was biting the steamed bun, turned her head.

"Hey, don't look at it! Eat your breakfast and go! ”

Ning Yue's cheeks suddenly turned red, and he grabbed the quilt and blocked it in front of him.

"Okay, it's not like I haven't seen it......" Zhili muttered and turned her face back.

It seems that it is necessary to popularize some common sense with her......

Ning Yue was speechless for a while, and sorted out his clothes and put them on his body, but because he had been pierced, no matter how tightly he wrapped it, he felt a little cold, so he could only buckle his belt two more times.

Next, he opened the compartment of the buckle to reveal small stacks of silver coins lined up inside.

Himself, Yu Hunt gave him this leash so that he could carry some more hidden weapons and keep them as a back hand when performing tasks. It's just that he is not used to using hidden weapons, so he casually stuck a stack of silver coins on the table in the room.

When you don't need it, the power of the thin and hard thing like the silver coin is infused with mystical power, and the power should not be underestimated, and it is not impossible to cut the throat or even shatter the bones.

Of course, now these silver coins are in Ning Yue's hands, and they can only be used for normal purposes.

He washed up briefly with the remaining water in the basin on the side, and when he heard the footsteps going upstairs, he hurriedly turned around and met the eyes of the woman who had gone and returned.

This is a very ordinary woman, not good-looking, but also a little beautiful. She was dressed in cheap coarse cloth, and her hair was curled up with only a wooden hairpin, and there were no other ornaments.

It can be seen that her family should be relatively poor.

"You're Xiao Zhili's friend, right? My name is Yuan Qing, this is my home, and I am also the current shopkeeper of Yuan's grain store. The woman smiled, but her voice was somewhat raw.

After all, it is normal for a woman to be a little wary of a strange young man of a similar age in such an environment.

"Ning Yue, Zhili's friend."

Ning Yue didn't hide his name, anyway, he had already been revealed by Zhili. Besides, he didn't think that such a poor woman in front of him would pay attention to the wanted warrant issued by the Empire.

"Hmm."

Yuan Qing answered and handed out the big bowl in his hand. Compared with Zhili's portion, there is one more steamed bun, and there is slightly more millet porridge below. It should have been that she realized that it was a man who ate it, so she gave more.

"Thank you."

Ning Yue nodded and smiled, and while taking the big bowl, he handed out his other hand and spread it out, and in his palm was all the silver coins he had taken out, nearly twenty.

Without waiting for him to speak, Yuan Qing's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly shook his hand and replied, "How can this be done?" ”

"Zhili, this girl doesn't know much about the world, and I've been bothering you here for a long time, so I can't eat and live for nothing, right?"

As soon as Ning Yue finished speaking, Zhili turned her head and glared, stretched out her hand and protested: "Brother Ning Yue, don't talk nonsense, Zhili also knows that you can't eat and live for nothing, and there are people who help Sister Qing work." ”

"Well, Xiao Zhili helped me a lot. I cannot accept this. Yuan Qing nodded, pushed with both hands and wanted to hand the silver coin back, his fingers touched Ning Yue's palm, and he retracted it with a tremor like an electric shock, and his cheeks were slightly red.

Unexpectedly, Ning Yue moved faster, handed it out with his right hand, and all the silver coins in his palm clanged and fell, gathered in Yuan Qing's hand, and said at the same time: "I am likely to stay here for a few days, she is hers, I am mine, and the fee cannot be left unpaid." ”

"That's not much."

Yuan Qing hurriedly flipped through the silver coins, leaving only one and returning the rest.

"Let's keep it for now. Help me buy a set of clothes, my clothes are rotten and I can't go out. For the rest, I bought delicious food to satisfy this girl's cravings. ”

Ning Yue smiled and pressed Zhili's little head, causing the latter to be dissatisfied.

"Okay then."

Yuan Qing nodded, looked at Ning Yue, who was deliberately standing in the dark, and after a little hesitation, he replied, "That...... Before I get my clothes and come back, I'll go find you a set of about the same size. ”

With that, she hurried down the stairs.

"Make do? Zhili, you just said that there is an old grandfather who lives besides her, right? Ning Yue looked ignorant, if he took a set of old man's clothes to wear, he would get goosebumps just by imagining it.

"yes." Zhili drank the last bit of millet porridge in her bowl, then looked at Ning Yue's bowl and said, "Brother Ning Yue, eat it while it's hot, it's almost cold." ”

Ning Yue nodded, and then asked, "Anyway, is Zhili full?" Do you want to divide some more of you? ”

The next moment, he clearly saw the joy in Zhili's eyes, however, the other party seemed to be shaking again, and his heart was struggling.

After a short while, the girl shook her head and replied, "I'm full, Brother Ning Yue can eat it himself." ”

"Okay then."

Having said that, Ning Yue still stuffed a steamed bun into Zhili's hand, and then sat down and began to eat breakfast.

Zhili looked at the steamed bun in her hand, swallowed her saliva, and after hesitating again and again, she tore the steamed bun into two pieces, leaving the relatively small one for herself, and putting the rest back into Ning Yue's bowl.

Seeing this, Ning Yue didn't say anything more, but sighed lightly in his heart.

After a while, Yuan Qing came back with a stack of clothes, put them on the chair in front of Ning Yue, and said a little apologetically: "This is my brother's previous clothes, no one has worn them for a long time, some of them are old, I hope the guests can get down." It should look about your size. ”

"Thank you."

Ning Yue nodded and smiled, and didn't ask where the other party's brother had gone. There are some things that can be vaguely guessed in your heart, and there is no need to say them.

At the same time, Zhili stacked the two large porcelain bowls on top of each other, looked at the formation, and prepared to go downstairs to wash the dishes.

"Xiao Zhili put it down, I'll just go." Yuan Qing hurriedly stopped, but her outstretched hand was not as fast as Zhili's, and she directly caught it.

Zhili shook her head and smiled, "It's okay, Sister Qing, I'll just come by myself." And, it should be too late today, right? At this time, Sister Qing hurried to open the store, otherwise the real customers would be in a hurry. ”

"There aren't many left, and they were sorted out last night, so they don't need to be prepared. And the first guests usually don't ...... until a little later."

Bang bang!

At this moment, there was a sharp knock on the door downstairs, interrupting Yuan Qing.

Zhili took the opportunity to walk downstairs quickly with the bowl, and turned around to greet her, "Sister Qing, I'll just say it, right?" When the guests are coming, let's go and say hello. ”

After that, she walked downstairs faster, and she didn't notice the change in Yuan Qing's eyes at all.

However, Ning Yue noticed that when a hurried knock sounded, Yuan Qing obviously trembled a few times.

It seems, what is feared in the cold?

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "Such a quick knock on the door can be heard even in the attic." Ordinary customers don't do that, right? ”
