Chapter 239: Living in the Xiao Mansion
When the girl said this, she didn't forget it, and looked up at them again.
Li Qiannan said with some surprise: "For the people in your city, to put it bluntly, they are all fortune tellers, right?" ”
For Li Qiannan's straightforward statement, Xiao An didn't seem to think of it.
Then he just glanced at the other party in surprise, and then said, "Uh......
It's pretty much the same, but we're not the same as the fortune tellers.
Because we don't adulterate the unknown. Fierce is fierce, and auspicious is auspicious.
But my father said that the fortune tellers outside were hypocritical.
Because those people will say something bad to others for their own benefit.
And then let the other person spend money to solve the problem, but we don't.
And we won't go out to tell fortunes for others easily.
We can be self-sufficient in the city where we live, and we can only cultivate ourselves in this area. ”
After Xiao An said these words, he showed an embarrassed and not polite smile to them.
In their eyes, his statement is actually not credible.
Li Qiannan glanced at Xiao An, and then couldn't help but say her inner concerns, and randomly listened to him say: "But that's not what I read before."
Shouldn't a capable person like you go out and help the world? ”
“?
What? Is it an individual? Or is it a thing? ”
Xiao An subconsciously glanced at Li Qiannan, and there were a little more complicated emotions in her eyes.
Seeing this, Meng Haochuan immediately said: "Ah, the one he said is a kind of storytelling book over there.
It's like the story told by the old man in the tearoom where you tell the story.
But we didn't say it there, we wrote it in a notebook for everyone to see. ”
Xiao An let go of the mustard in his heart, and then glanced at the two of them again.
While they were talking, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Immediately after that, an old voice was heard saying, "An'er, have you slept?"
My father wants to talk to you. ”
Xiao An's face changed in an instant, and he was really jealous of his father when he walked by.
I saw that he immediately looked at Li Qiannan and Meng Haochuan slowly and said, "Hide under the bed."
Don't make any noise, my father's ears are very bright. ”
The two of them had sneaked in late at night, so naturally they didn't want anyone else to find them.
Then I saw the two of them, and immediately got under the bed like you only apply for a vigorous mouse.
Just as the two of them were inside, the door to the room was pushed open.
They heard a cacophony of footsteps, and then heard Xiao An say, "Father."
I wonder what happened to my daughter late at night? ”
The old man pondered for a moment, and then said, "There are people in the house."
Someone saw them enter your room.
Are they the two people you are the most father? If you leave two strangers in the room in the middle of the night in a girl's house, what good will it do to your reputation if it really spreads?
I'm so disappointed that you've come back from outside this time with more and more restraint. ”
Xiao An's face changed suddenly when he heard his father say this, and he knew that this matter seemed to be impossible to hide.
At this time, he thought in his heart: "Damn!
I forgot that in the middle of the night in the house, there will be a lot of hermits hidden in the shadows. ”
The hermits in their house are the most powerful hermits in the entire capital.
These people are not responsible for participating in any fights, they only need to hide in a place in the mansion without being discovered, and then pay attention to what is happening in the mansion at all times.
Then he reported what he found to his master.
At this time, I heard Xiao An's father say calmly again: "The two of you are in the little girl's room, do you plan to hide it like this all the time?"
Is this a true behavior of a gentleman? I'm missing two, and before I find someone to come in and search the room, it's better to stand up decently.
After all, I still care very much about the little girl's face. ”
Meng Haochuan and Li Qinan under the bed were silent for a moment, and then they crawled out from under the bed without hesitation.
Yesterday the two of them plugged the hole at the same time, and the dust on their bodies and the cobwebs on their heads.
Only then did he walk in front of the old man, and standing in front of them was a white-haired old man who was nearly half a hundred years old.
The man looked fat, burly, and had a gray beard.
But he looked kind-eyed, and then he heard the old man suddenly laugh softly: "It turned out to be a son and a young lady."
I heard from the little girl that the two of you once rescued the little girl when you were outside the city.
I keep this kindness in my heart for the time being, but I don't know why......
The little girl is in the same city, and when she comes back, she will insist on taking the two of you to live in the house.
But we have never had a precedent for bringing outsiders back to live here.
So the two of you can't wait to go into the house to live, so you went to great lengths to sneak into our Xiao family tonight?
You don't know...... Why do you have to live in our house?
Don't say it's our family, if other people in the city know that you two are outsiders, I'm afraid you two won't even have a chance to stay in this city. ”
Li Qiannan was originally a person who couldn't hold her breath, but she immediately stepped forward and said, "If you don't live, you won't live."
You don't have to say such things to insult people, you saved your daughter out of kindness.
Escorting her back along the way has been a great gesture of kindness.
You don't know how to say thank you, but you still spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
If we had any intentions, we wouldn't have sent your daughter back.
Wouldn't it be better to tie him up like those villagers did and then control him?
And you don't have to drive us away, we'll get out of here tonight. ”
After speaking, Li Qiannan turned around very chicly, then looked at Meng Haochuan and said, "Let's go."
I can't stay here for a minute. ”
Meng Haochuan had no choice but to leave the Xiao Mansion with him.
When the two of them walked out of the Xiao Mansion compound, Meng Haochuan frowned and said, "Are you crazy?"
Leaving here, how do we find soul shards? Xiao An and Xiao An look exactly the same, do you think this is a coincidence?
So I concluded that the soul fragment must be on his body.
If we don't find a chance to get close to him, the soul fragment will be out at that time.
If we don't have time to collect the soul fragments, let them dissipate in the air.
Do you know what the consequences will be? ”
Li Qiannan obviously didn't think about such a question just now.
He was only momentarily indignant just now, and he was in a hurry, and the other party said a few ugly words.
Of course, he couldn't help but burst out, and on this day, she was very embarrassed to glance at the door plaque of Xiao Mansion and said, "Then what now?"
We've all come out, and we can't lick our faces anymore and go back, right?
Then you want that old man too, don't you look down on us even more?
In this way, even if we are successful fathers, they will look down on us if they add them. ”
Li Qiannan's voice became smaller and smaller, and she was obviously a little lacking in confidence.
Next, I only heard that the door of the Xiao Mansion suddenly opened, and the little maid walked out in a panic.
Then he hurriedly brought them a note and went back again.
Meng Haochuan subconsciously opened the note and wrote directly: "Don't worry, just wait a few more days, and you will definitely let the two enter the house."
It's not a secret, Xiao An invited the two into the house, in fact, he had something to ask for.
I hope that the two of them will be able to agree to Xiao An's request at that time. ”
There were just three sentences on the note, Meng Haochuan glanced at Li Qiannan, and then sighed and said, "Let's go, go back to the inn!" ”
"Back to the inn? What are you going to do when you go back to the inn? Aren't you trying to find a way to go back to Xiao Mansion? ”
Meng Haochuan asked for the note in his hand and handed it to him, and then said, "Maybe we really shouldn't come tonight."
Let's go back! As he said, we just have to wait. ”
So the two of them returned to the inn late at night.
For the next few days, there was still no news, and the two of them wandered around the capital for a few more days.
During this period, they also learned from many ways why some people in the city did not go out.
It turns out that when this capital was first established, the people here were also like what Li Qiannan said before, they would use their own abilities to go out to help the world and save people.
But they also suffered what happened to Xiao An before.
It was even ten times more tragic than what happened to Xiao An.
It was the first monks in the city, and few of the people who had gone out made it back unharmed.
All of them died unexpectedly outside, and some didn't even have horses to dismember.
In short, everyone's thoughts are very miserable, and they can't find the murderers of those people.
It seems that an organization appeared on the rivers and lakes at that time.
It was specifically for hunting these monks, and as for what they were going to do, the people here didn't know.
Because the people who went out did not come back, it was impossible for the information from outside to reach the city.
This goes on and on, until later, some ancestors directly set the rules.
All the people in the city are not allowed to leave the city easily, and they will never be qualified to return to the city.
In fact, this rule is not to prevent those people from going out, and then they really won't be allowed to come back.
The purpose of saying this is actually to let them know that they have left the city and have never returned.
And the things that those people who died outside before will be passed down from generation to generation.
It is to warn future generations that they can understand that only this is safe.
Xiao An is a girl after all, and she is not too old.
So he didn't think so much about the sinister hearts of people at all.
He came out of this great business with all his curiosity about the world outside the city.
So this city is actually a cage that outsiders can't see, but they won't get out.
People here don't see outsiders all year round, and they are very repulsive to outsiders, so that's why Xiao An told them not to reveal their identities.
The main reason is that after another time, there is still no information today.
The two of them ate, slept, and ate in this inn.
Outside, the entire capital has even been turned.
Finally, on the twelfth day, the little maid came again.
This time I really wanted to take them back to the mansion to live, but the two of them, when the little maid came to the Xiao Mansion again.
Xiao An had already waited in the courtyard, and the two of them were arranged to live in the guest room in the courtyard on the east side.
This is the accommodation arranged for them by Xiao An's father, and it is also the only condition he promised the two of them to live in.
But when the two of them heard that a place to live here was his father's only condition.
The two of them had already expected this, and it might be different from other places.
Sure enough, the first night they moved in, they found different places.
When they were still sleeping soundly, they were suddenly awakened by a strange noise.
Then they heard the cries of women coming from the courtyard next to them.
The next moment, there was a sharp knock on the door of their room.
Li Qiannan subconsciously got up a little impatiently, and then went to open the door of the room.
When I opened it later, I found that there was no one outside the door.
But even when the door opened, the hurried knock still rang in their ears.
Meng Haochuan's face also changed when he saw such a scene.
Then I saw Li Qiannan turn to look at Meng Haochuan and say, "What's the situation?"
Nothing will happen, right? ”
Meng Haochuan, you trotted out of the room, but when the two of them came to the courtyard, the crying in the courtyard next door also stopped.
Then the hurried knocking on the door stopped at the same time.
Neither of them had a good night's sleep that night.
Early the next morning, Xiao An ran over and saw the two of them, and didn't say anything else, so he asked directly, "Did you hear any sounds last night?"
Is there a woman's cry, and a quick knock on the door? ”
Li Qinan and Meng Haochuan listened to Xiao An's words, and subconsciously said, "What does this mean?"
Could it be that you already knew there would be a vision here? Then why didn't you tell me last night?
As you said, there are other strange voices here.
When we opened the door, there was no one in the room or in the courtyard.
When we came to the courtyard, the strange crying and the rapid knocking on the door immediately stopped the family.
So this should be the same thing that poor us are.
What do you want us to do? ”
