"Squeak-" With a sound, the two doors were slowly pushed open, and the scorching light and heat were immediately sent into the room, and the dust raised on the ground could be seen clearly in the light.

"Who?" Zhao Qingmiao was originally thinking about how to avoid tomorrow, when he heard someone coming in with a step that was not light or heavy. Immediately looked back, the slender eyes were picked up, and he looked at it with a little soft color.

It's not Zhang Lan'er, it's not Zhang Lie, it's just a subordinate.

The man didn't speak, maybe because he didn't know Zhao Qingmiao, and when he looked at each other, his body froze and stopped, with some uncertainty on his face.

This person is wearing an old swaddle shirt, but he is also lean and well-proportioned, with long and narrow eyes, a restrained look, and a not so plain appearance.

Zhao Qingmiao glanced at him deeply, thinking in his heart that if he was the leader of the water bandits, he might reluctantly agree.

It's a pity.

The man hesitated for a moment before leaving, placing the wooden tray in his hand on the table.

Zhao Qingmiao retracted her gaze, calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip, only to feel that the taste was not good, so she quickly put it down. She raised her eyes and swept over, and found that the man not only did not leave, but also dared to look over again and again, but did not speak.

"What do you see me doing? Still want to ask for a reward? ”

The man moved his lips, his brow furrowed slightly, and he stopped talking.

"He's a mute, and he won't be able to answer you if you ask."

A shadow stood at the door at some point, Zhang Lan'er explained. Another head popped up behind him, it was Chang Xi.

Chang Xi called eagerly: "Miss! Then he took a few steps and rushed to Zhao Qingmiao's side.

Seeing that there were already tears rolling in her eyes, Zhao Qingmiao hurriedly comforted: "I'm fine." ”

Zhang Lan'er hadn't come in yet, she looked at the other person in the room, and said, "Doctor Ji, why did you do this rough work of serving tea and water?" Is someone embarrassing you? ”

Zhao Qingmiao was a little surprised in her heart, and she pretended to listen to Chang Xi's nagging.

Doctor Ji waved his hand, and the corners of his mouth hung a little helplessly.

"Doctor Ji, after drinking your prescription, my father's illness has improved a lot, and he has a great appetite for a few days. There is a happy event on the island tomorrow, so you can wait for me to mention it to Zhang Lie, and let you go as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Qingmiao listened carefully to Zhang Lan'er's words, and pieced together something with speculation.

One, this man is a doctor who was coerced to come to see the old island owner.

Second, this Zhang Lan'er wants to be a kind-hearted person who will repay his kindness and send this Dr. Ji out.

Zhao Qingmiao chuckled, floating coldly at the corner of her lips.

Doctor Ji didn't know what to do, so Zhang Lan'er left with someone.

After listening to the silence outside the house for a while, Zhao Qingmiao gave Chang Xi a look.

Chang Xi approached the door with light footsteps, opened a gap and looked out left and right.

"Miss, no one."

Zhao Qingmiao thought about it for a while, and then nodded to Chang Xi.

Chang Xi half-cat, got out of the crack in the open door, and took three steps cautiously.

After only three steps, a pair of black coarse cloth shoes suddenly flashed and stood in front of her.

"Little girl, what are you doing!"

Chang Xi frowned and said that it was not good, and looked up along the foot, and the water bandit looked at her with suspicion.

She smiled awkwardly and turned around, only to bump into another bandit.

"Why do you want to run away if you don't stay in the house?"

"Who ran away! Who ran away! Chang Xi was so panicked that he pretended to be calm and defended: "The head of your family is going to marry my young lady tomorrow, where is this hospitality?" Miss was hungry, so I just came out to find a kitchen to get something to eat. Besides, can't I first recognize the road in this house for my young lady? ”

"Hehe, you seem to have some truth in what you said. However, the big boss has already ordered you, and I am afraid that you will not be able to move around at will. As for the food, I'll tell the cook to do it later, as for the way, when your young lady enters the cave room tomorrow, do you want to see if you can't do it one day? ”

Chang Xi was almost about to make a move in a hurry when he heard the door open behind him.

Zhao Qingmiao flicked her clothes and paced over slowly.

"Two little brothers, it's convenient." As she spoke, she took a pair of peiyu from her neck, deliberately placed it in front of the two of them, pinching the end of the red rope and shaking it gently.

"As long as you go ashore and find a pawnshop, this thing is worth thirty or forty taels of silver. The two of you are divided privately, and I just want someone to go to the dungeon to see me. ”

The two of them were a little hesitant at first, but they saw that it was a good piece of jade with good color, so they grabbed it. Through the light, the texture is moist and delicate, half engraved with water lines, and half carved with cloud patterns.

Chang Xi stood aside, wanting to speak and stopped. "That's ......"

was ignored by Zhao Qingmiao.

~

"Miss! Miss, how are you? ”

"Miss is here!"

The boatmen and palanquin drivers rose to their feet and rushed to the door.

The young man sat in the corner, his brows brightened in the dim light. He hooked the corners of his lips in contemplation, drawing out a hint of teasing.

Shen Xiao saw Zhao Qingmiao appear in the dungeon, and he was in a good mood unexpectedly.

Zhao Qingmiao comforted everyone a few words, and asked Chang Xi and the two water bandits to go farther. He could see this, but he couldn't hear clearly.

"Shen Jiu, are you afraid of death?"

Shen Xiao was suddenly asked by this headless question, but he didn't know how to answer.

"Come here."

When he really approached the door, Zhao Qingmiao raised his head and stroked the broken hair on his forehead, quickly pulled out a thin hairpin on his bun, and put it into Shen Xiao's hand in the dim dungeon, and then covered his hand and clenched it into a fist.

"Tomorrow is a good day, and I don't know if I can let you out and have a drink."

Zhao Qingmiao said very casually to the prison, but there was no look of joy or sadness.

Shen Xiao's eyes were deep, and he seemed to be weighing something with a smile.

The hands were white and soft, with the fragrance of her daughter's home, and she quickly withdrew before she had time to clench it. He felt that little residual warmth, his eyes were like washing in the swaying firelight, his expression was strange, and he stared at Zhao Qingmiao's face faintly and presumptuously.

Zhao Qingmiao didn't notice it at first, but when she raised her eyes a little strangely, she saw that the corners of Shen Xiao's mouth were curved in a plain and slightly good-looking arc.

It's like a younger brother, close and likable.

"Miss, you must remember to take Shen Jiu back to Zhao's house."

Zhao Qingmiao was stunned for a moment, and when she was still pondering, the two water bandits were already impatiently urging.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow, stay any longer, brother of the guard, we can't explain it."

Several people quickly got out of the dungeon, and the two water bandits hurriedly sent Zhao Qingmiao and Chang Xi back to the room.

The door closed tightly, and Chang Xi lowered his head and asked, "Miss, can this matter be handed over to Shen Jiu?" There is also that pair of jade jue, but the deceased old lady set the young lady for her relatives, so cheap for others......"

Zhao Qingmiao shook his head: "It's just an old thing, as long as you can escape...... what matters right now."
