A small shop (3)
Guest? I didn't think of this, so I nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go over and see what the boss is looking for me." ”
Da'an said "um", and I went to find the proprietress who was checking the ledger, and as soon as I got closer, she looked up.
I smiled lightly and asked cautiously, "Boss, are you looking for me?" ”
"I just asked Da'an to look for you, I have something to tell you, come, you sit first." The proprietress pointed to the chair next to her, how dare I sit on this, I was a little scared, so I didn't dare to move.
I stood there and asked directly: "No, no, the boss, you can just say it, don't be so troublesome." ”
"Okay, then I'll just say it." The proprietress nodded, her face looked quite young and well maintained, and the years had not left many marks on her face.
I looked down and listened.
The proprietress said, "Actually, I ......," and she just said two words.
I answered with a surprised face: "Boss, you don't want to tell me, in fact, you are a spy arranged by Duoqi, lurking in our Luanling territory, waiting for an opportunity, right?" ”
The proprietress glanced at me and said helplessly: "Serve you, have you been talking too much recently?" Thinking all over what kind of mess it is? No, I just want to tell you, I also opened an inn in Lidu, and I want to have some special guests in two days, and I can't recruit guests temporarily, so I want to ask you if you would like to go over and help. ”
"Special guests...... This ...... "I looked a little hesitant and embarrassed, and the proprietress also saw the meaning of this expression.
She held out a finger and said, "Add money to you." ”
"A copper plate?" I thought, then I still don't really want to go, after all, it's still comfortable to stay here, I can chat with Yanagi on weekdays, and I can go out for a walk, and I don't know who I know where I am, so I don't know who I meet, so I don't want to go......
The proprietress said, "One tael of silver." ”
I immediately smiled and replied, "Okay! I'll go! ”
Proprietress said: "I didn't see it, Luo Shui'er, you are such a person." ”
"I didn't see that I loved my job so much." I quickly ran to the chair and sat down, and asked anxiously, "What do you say about the boss, who are they?" ”
"It's nothing special, they are just a group of Jianghu people, isn't it that the trade between the two countries is open this time, and the court will send ministers down to hold a ceremony in a few days, so, when they heard the news, they chartered my small shop in advance, Xiaohong asked for leave of absence this time, so there is an empty manpower, you only need to take care of the female killers who came to them." The proprietress said seriously.
She nodded as she spoke, and as she listened, she felt something was wrong, and I hurriedly asked, "Wait!?" Murderess? The people who came this time ......."
"You've probably heard of the Shadow Pavilion, right?" The proprietress said.
Shadow Pavilion.
On this continent, there should be very few people who have never heard of this name, right?
I cautiously asked, "How many of them are here this time?" ”
"It's quite a lot, it seems that all the masters in the pavilion have arrived, and I don't know very well, after all, I don't want to ask about this kind of thing." The proprietress looked at me and asked, "What?" Any questions? ”
"I'm a little curious, who are they going to kill so much?" When a master of the Shadow Pavilion comes out, he can fight a hundred enemies, and there are so many people, it is estimated that the person to be killed has a big beginning.
The proprietress was stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly realized, and she smiled: "Who said they killed people?" ”
"Aren't they a killer organization?" I wondered.
The proprietress replied as a matter of course, "Yes." ”
"Doesn't the killer organization kill people?"
"You can't do it!"
"Then what are they doing here?"
"Come, protect the individual."
Hearing this answer, I was slightly stunned.
That's it, I was inexplicably arranged, but don't worry, they will arrive in two days, I can calmly explain to Liu Sheng, and then move to another inn of the proprietress , this inn is not big, hidden in the city, and does not attract attention, it is indeed a good choice for the killer organization.
It seems that he is a person who can pick, and besides, he has met someone like our boss lady, so he doesn't have to worry about revealing secrets at all.
Will I leak it then?
I probably wouldn't, after all, the proprietress doubled my salary.
The people at the inn are also very nice, and they will take me with them when they know that I am new, but what I usually do is cleaning, so I don't feel strange.
It's nothing more than tidying up the rooms of those female guests, opening the windows for ventilation, and cleaning them, and I am very good at doing this kind of thing.
The hostess told me that the guests would arrive this afternoon, so I asked her if she could give me half a day off and I would like to write another letter to my distant relatives.
The hostess waved me out of the room and agreed.
Therefore, when I had a free day, I went out of the city gate.
Speaking of which, I'm not lying.
I found a deserted place outside the city, took out a fire fold, and built a small fire, of course, I did not come to barbecue, I did come to send letters.
I sat aside, took out the letter from my bosom, threw it on the fire, and watched as it slowly burned, little by little the ashes burned into the sky, and then came down again.
I just watched it float up and down, fly in the air, float up, and fall again.
"It looks like you're really sending a letter." Yanagi's voice came from behind, and I turned my head to see him walking towards me and sitting down next to me.
I tilted my head to look at him and asked, "You came out with me?" ”
"I wanted to go to the inn to look for you today, but they said you weren't there, I turned a street, and I saw your back, and I saw that the direction you were walking was outside the city, I was a little curious, so I thought I would follow and have a look." Yanagi replied earnestly.
I replied, "Oh, I see. ”
The letter continued to burn, the envelope was blank, there was no sender and recipient, nothing.
Yanagi and I fell silent, he didn't speak, just watched quietly.
Time passed slowly, and when it was almost burned, and there was no trace of the letter, I got up, kicked the fire away, and the spark fluttered and extinguished.
I said, "Let's go, it's time to go back." ”
"Wait." Yanagi suddenly stood up and asked, "The shop is so busy with work, why do you write these letters, I don't know." ”
"How?" I squinted at him.
He scratched his head and said, "You are still literate, I don't know you, if you have time in the future, can you teach me to read?" ”
I paused, smiled and said, "Okay, if I still have the chance, I will teach you." ”
