Ling Xiao remembered this place, this "good thing" was done by her and Lu Jingxing with their own eyes. Last night, Lu Ci was here to move his muscles and bones freely, playing a game of cat and mouse, which made a mess here, and destroyed the stall that the old woman relied on for her livelihood.

Lu Ci listened to the old woman's heartfelt regret, stroked her forehead, and had a feeling of self-shame. He made a "ride" to stop the horse, handed the reins to Ling Xiao, and jumped off the horse: "Lead the horse." ”

After passing through several layers of human circles, Lu Ci squatted down in front of the old woman and took out a money bag from his arms: "Auntie, you can keep these broken silver, and ask the craftsman to make another one." Lu Ci felt guilty in his heart, but he didn't have the face to tell the old woman that this stall was kicked and broken by him, and he could only try to make up for such a mistake.

"Thank you for this great good man, old woman, I really don't know how to repay your great virtue." The old woman took the money bag, her gratitude was overflowing, and a pair of deep-set eyes stared straight at Lu Ci who was squatting in front of her, and she couldn't stop thanking her.

Lu Ci stood up from the ground and stretched out his hands: "Auntie, this is how it should be, come, I'll help you up." The onlookers were lively at this time, talking to each other, but Lu Ci didn't care about it.

"It seems that it is inevitable that it will be vulgar throughout the ages, gold and silver are really good things, with her, no matter how difficult the problem is, it can be easily solved." A few people had left the old woman for a long time, Lu Ci breathed a sigh of relief, and the self-blame in his heart was given out along with the money bag. Ling Xiao thought that this method of solving the problem was really the same as that of modern times, and glanced sideways at Lu Ci, who was riding on a horse leisurely at the moment, and actually had the intention of making fun of him.

Lu Ci pursed his lips and raised his head: "I am also a layman, and it is normal for laymen to do mundane things." ”

Ling Xiao knew that Lu Ci was pure in heart, this series of things happened too suddenly, and the only things he could do to make up for the old woman were these. "Lu Gongzi is right." Ling Xiao smiled lightly, but her tone was still wrapped in a layer of joking, which seemed to be a fixed dialogue pattern formed between her and Lu Ci over time. She thought about it, how could what Lu Ci said not be true, how many people in the world could be exempt from vulgarity? It's just a grain of sand in this world, doing boring and boring mundane things every day.

As soon as they were about to leave the town, there were fewer pedestrians, and the golden glow of the morning sun was slanted on the ground, stretching the clear shadows of a few people. Ling Xiao lost the initial anxiety, and now quietly and comfortably snuggled in Lu Jingxing's arms, looking up at the golden sun that was far away from the top of the mountain, and let the morning breeze sweep across his cheeks, leaving a cool and slightly itchy feeling. Lu Jingxing lowered his eyes and looked at the sun-soaked figure in his arms, the corners of his mouth were soft ripples, but he turned to Lu Ci: "I see that you have a lot of silver." I was still thinking about your request last night, but I don't think I need to. The silver is less, and you take Tingxue to the Qinglou again. Lu Jingxing, who was in a good mood, deliberately moved out the matter that Lu Ci took Jiang Tingxue to the Qinglou to watch the selection of Oiran on the night of his birthday last time.

Lu Ci paused, stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head weakly, with a strange expression, and only after a while did he smile and stammer: "That, Mansion Master, you know everything." He thought that that thing was done secretly enough, but he never thought that he still couldn't escape Lu Jingxing's eyes.

"What? You actually took Sister Xue to the Qinglou? Ling Xiao couldn't hide her surprise when she heard Lu Jingxing's words, and her blurred eyes that were blurred when she was illuminated by the sun finally came into view.

Lu Jingxing smiled lightly: "What is the matter with you, I don't know." ”

"We just went to have a good time, we didn't do anything, and then we left before it was over. Also, not all the money given to that lady is mine, oh, and his. Lu Ci said without forgetting to point to the person sleeping on the back of the horse with his eyes, this time he gave all the belongings looted from the dead man to the old woman.

Regarding Lu Ci's behavior of taking other people's money and being a good person doing it himself, Ling Xiao had to admire him: "You are quite good at being a person." ”

"Anyway, it's useless for him to hold the silver, so I'll accumulate some virtue for him by the way. Besides, I am not the only one who smashed other people's things, he is to blame, and he should have his share to make up for the old man. Lu Ci said it rightly, and he had many reasons for being weird on weekdays.

Originally, the three of them could get home in the evening on horseback, but now because there is one more person, they can't improve the speed, and they forcibly delay the time until the time of the person.

The streets that were less crowded were paved with a faint moonlight, and the five or six guards in front of the house were lonely and silent in the reflection of the fluorescent gauze lights under the eaves. At this hour, except for the two teams of night watchmen in the house, everyone else had already slept. The guards were all slightly stunned the moment they saw Lu Jingxing, obviously not expecting that they would arrive at this hour.

"Greetings to the Lord." They were stunned for a moment, and when they reacted, they immediately knelt down on one knee with their hands brushed.

Lu Jingxing raised his hand slightly, handed the reins in his hand to the guard closest to him, and asked, "Get up, is the house okay?" ”

"Qiqi Mansion Master, everything is fine in the mansion. The subordinates went to inform Lu Bo of them. The other guard turned and walked away.

Lu Jingxing saw that the man said that the mansion was safe, nodded with satisfaction, and called the guard who had entered the mansion: "Stop, it's late now, don't bother the people in the mansion." ”

The dead man on horseback had already been kicked off the horse by Lu Ci as a human shuttlecock, and with a muffled sound, the man did not wake up. "Come here, get this dead pig in." Lu Ci raised his foot on the man and casually stepped on it to signal to the guards.

When Ling Xiao heard the word dead pig, and then looked at the person on the ground who hadn't woken up even after the combined violence, he couldn't help but smile, it was really funny. As a person to do this field, she feels sorry for that person.

The three of them tossed from noon to this time, and the dinner had not been used, and tonight's dinner could only be cooked by Lu Jingxing himself, with Ling Xiao on the side, and Ling Xiao, who knew nothing about cooking, could only light the fire.

In the soft morning, Jiang Tingxue, who learned that Ling Xiao had returned, could not hide the excitement and joy in her heart, and left what she had not done and went to Ling Xiao's courtyard in a hurry. Because Ling Xiao slept too late last night, when Jiang Tingxue rushed over, Que Er was waiting for Ling Xiao to freshen up.

Jiang Tingxue, who has a sense of responsibility, has been blaming herself in her heart since that night, blaming herself for failing to protect Ling Xiao's sister as she did last time in Qiantang, and now when she sees Ling Xiao, she doesn't say a word, and gives Ling Xiao a big hug first. Ling Xiao was a little dizzy by such an abrupt embrace, and when she came back to her senses, endless shouts and cold greetings poured directly towards her, which made her cry and laugh for a while, but her heart was more moved.

By the time the two of them had told their stories of the past few days, time had passed quietly, and it was time for lunch.

Lu Ci spent all his morning on the dead man, but he didn't know that the dead man was a hard bone that was hard and soft, no matter how Lu Ci interrogated, he kept silent. Lu Ci had no choice, he complained to Lu Jingxing with a drooping face in the middle of this meal, and the consequence of his complaint was only a burst of ridicule from Jiang Tingxue and a few words of relief from Lu Jingxing, so that he should not be in a hurry, and take his time. I can't come up with a reason for it in a short period of time, Lu Jingxing has already expected such a result, how can a dead man be easy to speak?

Ling Xiao had chopsticks in his mouth, and suddenly thought of something. A smile of insignificance tugged at the corner of her mouth: "I suddenly thought of a way to get him to speak. ”

"What's the solution? Tell me about it? Lu Ci's eyes lit up, and his face covered with haze seemed to be touched by the warm sun, and he instantly had brilliance. Not only Lu Ci, Jiang Tingxue also looked at Ling Xiao with curiosity and expectation when she heard this.

Lu Jingxing hooked his lips and looked at Ling Xiao with interest with a gentle and moist gaze, obviously interested in her method. But Ling Xiao smiled again and sold Guan Zi: "After eating, you will know it in person, but you can first order someone to prepare what you need to use." ”

"Prepare something? You're not going to follow the example of the court interrogating prisoners, are you? All kinds of torture instruments are on the table. If that's the case, I'll have to go to the castle guard to borrow a torture instrument, which will be too troublesome. The hope in Lu Ci's eyes slipped away halfway, and he didn't forget to roll his eyes after speaking.

"You are the most idle on weekdays, so how about borrowing it, the right is to move your muscles." Jiang Tingxue chewed the dishes in her mouth and unceremoniously pushed back Lu Ci's words, while Lu Ci turned his head sideways and glared at Jiang Tingxue slightly. The meal was like gunsmoke, and Lu Jingxing and Ling Xiao inadvertently turned into spectators.

Ling Xiao spoke again: "Of course it's not a torture tool. I only need four things to get him to speak. ”

"Not a torture instrument, but four things? Xiao Xiao's idea is really exciting. Jiang Tingxue rubbed her hands, waiting to see the drama of the judge.

Ling Xiao nodded: "Yes." All you need is two goats, a thick rope, a bench, and a jar of honey, which should not be hard to find. ”

Lu Ci was stunned when he heard this, his head was full of confusion, and he couldn't help but think about eating: "Are you going to make roasted whole sheep for him to eat?" It's just that even if he eats and drinks enough, he won't say it. Not only Lu Ci thought so, but Jiang Tingxue also thought so. Only Lu Jingxing knew that Ling Xiao had another wonder, but he didn't know where the trick was.

Ling Xiao choked for a while, she had to admire Lu Ci's unique imagination, but she also knew that Lu Ci couldn't be blamed for this, this method of infinite brain holes was invented by European nobles in the seventeenth century, if Ling Xiao hadn't been born in modern times, she would not have been able to imagine this method of torturing people's souls. "Of course not, I want a lively and sturdy goat, and you can get ready to watch a good show later."

"Then I'll order someone to prepare it now." Ling Xiao said that Lu Ci's heart was itching, and he couldn't wait to reveal the answer immediately, he was excited in his heart, and he became extremely positive in doing things, and he dropped the uneaten half bowl of white rice in his hand, and disappeared without a trace.
