Seeing that Zhao Qinxiu's expression was difficult to distinguish, Xiao Jiu couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and raised his eyes to look at Zhao Qinxiu's expression.

Zhao Qinxiu frowned, and glanced back at Xiao Jiu, she had a look of change on her face, so Xiao Jiu could only observe some emotions from the bottom of her eyes.

"What did you see?"

"I don't know why I felt so panicked when I got here." Zhao Qinxiu hesitated for a moment and said cautiously.

"Are you sure that Father, they are here?"

Zhao Qinxiu said, her eyes unconsciously glanced at the stable below, there were a few simple carriages in the stable, but from her angle, she could only see the roof of the carriage.

Xiao Jiu couldn't help but be a little hesitant when Zhao Qinxiu said it, he leaned to the window and looked down.

But as if he had been noticed, the man who was feeding the horses raised his head and kept his eyes in their direction.

Xiao Jiu's heart jumped suddenly, and subconsciously reached out and grabbed Zhao Qinxiu's palm, dragging her back.

The fellow looked up and saw nothing, frowned, and then grabbed his hair and went on feeding the horses.

Xiao Jiu was relieved after he was sure that the guy hadn't seen anything.

Looking back at Zhao Qinxiu, he was about to say something, but he saw Zhao Qinxiu staring at the hands of the two of them, Xiao Jiu's face couldn't help but turn red, and the thin red was exposed through his darkened cheeks at the moment.

"Zhao, Zhao." Xiao Jiu hurriedly let go of Zhao Qinxiu's hand, and couldn't help but be a little stumbling when he spoke.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Qinxiu just glanced up at him, and then said. "It doesn't matter."

Xiao Jiu looked at her like this, and the stammering words in her mouth suddenly seemed to be blocked in her throat, and she couldn't say it anymore.

After a long time, the red that floated behind the roots of his ears faded.

Xiao Jiu took a deep breath, he didn't know why, but he couldn't stay here, his eyes wandered around the room, he didn't dare to look at Zhao Qinxiu, and he held back for a long time before continuing to speak. "I'll go down and take a closer look."

After that, Xiao Jiu turned around and wanted to leave.

But the corner of the clothes was tightly pulled by Zhao Qinxiu, and Xiao Jiu looked back at Zhao Qinxiu in a daze.

Zhao Qinxiu shook her head. "No."

Xiao Jiu is not stupid, after thinking about it carefully, he understood what Zhao Qinxiu meant.

Zhao is wanted, it is better to be careful.

Xiao Jiu was silent for a long time, and then asked. "Then according to Miss Zhao's meaning?"

"It doesn't have to be so restrictive." Zhao Qinxiu didn't wait for Xiao Jiu to understand what she meant before, so she continued to take care of herself.

"In any case, since you have entered this store, don't act rashly."

"Even my father, they're not in the store, so at most I'll spend some more time with them." Because it is estimated that the partition wall has ears, when Zhao Qinxiu spoke, his body subconsciously leaned in the direction of Xiao Jiu.

She didn't feel anything, but she didn't feel anything, but she didn't know where to put her eyes before she came to her senses.

I could only answer a few vaguely.

Zhao Qinxiu was thinking about his own affairs, but he didn't notice anything wrong with Xiao Jiu.

"Let's see what's going on first."

Just as the two of them were discussing, the door suddenly knocked from outside, and Zhao Qinxiu and Xiao Jiu exchanged glances.

Xiao Jiu's expression sank, and he pretended to be irritable. "Who?"

"Guest, the meal you wanted." The guy outside answered very smoothly.

When Zhao Qinxiu heard this, she turned around and reached out to make the bed.

Xiao Jiu opened the door and found that it was another fellow, his eyes wandered over a few simple side dishes on the tray, his brows were upset, and he was very dissatisfied. "Why is it so small?"

The guy's eyes looked into the room quietly through the gap in the door, and saw that Zhao Qinxiu, who came with Xiao Jiu, was packing the bed and luggage, and his eyes flashed slightly.

Hearing Xiao Jiu's rough voice at this moment, he hurriedly came back to his senses. "Guest officer, this simple meal is naturally not as good as the food at home, and when you go out, the guest officer will take more responsibility."

Although this guy's voice was not loud, Xiao Jiu seemed to be aroused, and his face turned red. "What do you mean by that?"

"What did the guest officer say, a small business, the guest officer is out of the house, or be more considerate." The guy didn't seem to have thought that Xiao Jiu was so difficult, and the smile on his face was a little stiff.

"Guest officer, let me help you bring the food in?"

Xiao Jiu snorted coldly, reached out and brought the food in the guy's hand, and then kicked the door with his foot.

The guy's body was already slightly leaning, and he was almost pinched off the bridge of his nose by Xiao Jiu like this, and he became angry when he landed, standing outside the door and muttering a few words, similar to a poor sour ghost, who has no money and wants to eat well.

Xiao Jiu's ear power is excellent, so he naturally heard it clearly, he pretended not to know, put the food in his hand on the table, and said loudly.

"The guy before also said how good this shop is, you see, just order food, who is enough to eat?"

Xiao Jiu scolded loudly for a while, after realizing that the guy had left.

raised his head and looked at Zhao Qinxiu, who had already walked to the table and was looking down at the meal.

Zhao Qinxiu looked at the dishes placed on the table, and said in a low voice under Xiao Jiu's attention. "Be cautious."

As she spoke, she casually pointed to the bucket in the room.

Xiao Jiu nodded slightly, poured all the food in his hand into the bucket, and then took the dry food from Zhao Qinxiu's hand and gnawed it.

"Is there anything unusual about the people in that room?"

After the guy who had been scolding all the way to the corner, his expression changed in an instant, and he shook his head lightly when he looked at the person who asked him what he said. "I don't see anything, it's just a middle-aged couple visiting relatives."

"What's strange if you say it." The fellow pondered for a moment before speaking. "It's the woman who hasn't opened her mouth all this time."

The person who asked the question nodded slowly, looked at the direction of Zhao Qinxiu's room, and said in a low voice. "Whether it's or not, since you stayed, I'll flip through it that night."

"The medicine...."

Before the man could finish speaking, the fellow nodded. "The food has already been served, and the stupid big guy still hates the lack of food."

When he heard this, the man was satisfied.

Halfway through, the guy came up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and saw that the empty plate was bright enough to see the figure and was slightly sluggish.

After that, Xiao Jiu and the two never went out of the room.

There was only one bed in the room, so it was naturally for Zhao Qinxiu to rest, and Xiao Jiu moved a chair casually and sat quietly on the side.

The night was thick, there was no moon in the sky, and there was no light in the room, so the moment Xiao Jiu opened his eyes, a pair of eyes seemed to be shining.

He was as light as a cat, and he touched the bed silently.

Zhao Qinxiu slept lightly, and after Xiao Jiu got into the quilt, she woke up from her dream in an instant, but before she could make a sound, Xiao Jiu stretched out her hand to cover her mouth.

There seemed to be some thin sweat oozing from the warm palms because of nervousness, and Zhao Qinxiu could clearly notice that the hand covering her mouth trembled for a moment.

It happened suddenly.

Under the blind fire of the black light, Xiao Jiu couldn't speak, so he could only stretch out his hand and draw a few shallow strokes in Zhao Qinxiu's palm.

The next moment, Xiao Jiu noticed that Zhao Qinxiu's tense body was gradually relaxed.

Zhao Qinxiu nodded slowly, adjusted slightly, and in the next second, Xiao Jiu heard her smooth breathing, as if she had fallen asleep.

Xiao Jiu withdrew his palm and unconsciously rubbed it on his clothes, wiping the sweat oozing from his palm.

At this moment, there was a soft sound, and Xiao Jiu heard a deliberately suppressed footsteps.

The man seemed to hesitate at the door, then turned back and whispered something to the two men at the door.

Because the voice was too small and a little vague, Xiao Jiu didn't hear it clearly.

Then Xiao Jiu noticed that the person who came in lit the lamp, and finally swaggered towards them.

Xiao Jiu's body didn't move, but there was a look of astonishment on his face, looking at these people without scruples, it seemed that it was just as Zhao Qinxiu had speculated, there was really something wrong with this shop.

13. Are they here?

He had clearly seen it before, and the mark on the wall was clearly a mark between them, and if Thirteen had not settled here, it would never have been such a mark.

Because Xiao Jiu was lying in the quilt with his back to the door, he didn't notice the look on his face.

Xiao Jiu only felt that his footsteps were getting closer and closer, the man was holding a candle flame, and after approaching Xiao Jiu, he turned Xiao Jiu over, and he didn't care about what the consequences would be if it was this time, so that Xiao Jiu would come to his senses.

Xiao Jiu was horrified in his heart, but he still smashed it in his mouth, pretending to be asleep.

The candle flame was getting closer and closer, Xiao Jiu could faintly detect the temperature emanating from the candlestick, the man touched his face rudely, but did not feel anything, and then wanted to cross Xiao Jiu and reach out to touch Zhao Qinxiu.

Xiao Jiu's heart moved slightly, and seeing that the man leaned forward with most of his body, he took advantage of the situation to roll onto Zhao Qinxiu and fished Zhao Qinxiu in his arms.

"Fuck." Xiao Jiu heard the man's clear curse.

The rest of the people who were checking their luggage heard him scolding his mother and looked up to look here. "What's wrong?"

"It's just an ugly woman, this stupid big guy still holds it tightly, and she won't let go."

The other man seemed to pause for a moment, then smiled. "Ugly people have ugly blessings, you know, if you can't find anything there, look for it in the room."

Hearing this, the man holding the candlestick snorted coldly, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.

The candlestick in his hand gradually tilted, and finally a few drops of candle wax fell on Xiao Jiu's face.

At the moment when Xiao Jiu was burned, what he thought in his mind was that he was moving fast, and the candle wax was dripping on his face, if it hurt Zhao Qinxiu, it would not be good.

"Sure enough, the skin is rough and the meat is thick."
