Shopkeeper Huang raised his eyebrows, and walked around the shop with his hands behind his back in disdain, "Do you know what happened to this shop before?" ”

Xu Xiaoxiao pretended to be confused and tilted her head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

She really couldn't get used to the self-righteous appearance of the shopkeeper, it was nothing more than using the fire in the shop to stimulate her and make her retreat.

A typical heart-attacking strategy, but unfortunately, she was scared.

"There's been a death here," the yellow shopkeeper suddenly shouted with a gloomy face.

Liu Qiao'er was startled, and the whole body trembled, "Shopkeeper Huang, just say what you say." ”

The shopkeeper Huang smiled gloomily and continued to tell about the store, "I heard that this family died a terrible death, and no one in the family was spared, and when the body was found, it was stinky and black, and it was burned to charcoals.

The most important thing is that the store heard a terrible cry in the middle of the night, and the watchman also saw a fire in the store for no reason. ”

After finishing speaking, Shopkeeper Huang was able to smile, while Cheng Qing, who was standing at the top of the stairs, clenched his fists with a cold face.

Liu Qiaoer's mind was all spent listening to Shopkeeper Huang talk about the store, and she didn't notice the strange Cheng Qing beside her at all.

But Xu Xiaoxiao caught Cheng Qing's angry face.

"Xiaoxiao, why don't we take a look at another one, it sounds quite infiltrating." Liu Qiao'er shuddered a few times, hugged Xu Xiaoxiao's arm and said.

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and shook his head, "No, it's here." ”

After hearing this, the shopkeeper Huang, who was originally in control, changed his face suddenly, and looked at Xu Xiaoxiao in surprise, "Didn't you hear clearly?" There have been deaths here. ”

"No need to repeat, I know." Xu Xiaoxiao looked around the house, "Qiao'er, you go back and bring Zhou Zi and Mengzhou over for a trip, and let them see how to repair it." ”

Liu Qiao'er has always listened to Xu Xiaoxiao, since she said that it was okay, it would be fine, she snorted at the shopkeeper Huang and ran out of the door.

After knowing that he couldn't be persuaded, the shopkeeper Huang angrily shook his wide sleeves and left.

The silence in the store returned, and Xu Xiaoxiao looked back at Cheng Qing.

"Master Cheng, do you have anything to say?"

Cheng Qing was suddenly surprised, her mouth opened slightly, and she shook her head after a while, "I don't know about the location of the store." ”

"It's not about the store, but you seem to have a special affection for the store?" Xu Xiaoxiao stared at her eyes and said quietly.

Cheng Qing was stunned, and hurriedly lowered his head with a weak heart, "No." ”

"Master Cheng, cooperation is about trust, you don't want to say anything, how can I trust you?"

Xu Xiaoxiao began to feel a little impatient, she was just worried that Cheng Qing's background would not be good for the tavern in the future, and now that the tavern has not yet opened, everything can be handled.

Cheng Qing pursed her thin lips and pinched the stairs tightly, she walked to the door and closed the wooden door.

"I.... It is the daughter of the owner of this shop. She hung her head and wrung her fingers.

Cheng Qing's answer was unexpected by Xu Xiaoxiao, and she asked in astonishment, "You are not dead?" ”

"We didn't die, we hid in the cellar and escaped." Cheng Qing said with a sad expression.

"Then why did you end up in the troupe? What about your parents? Xu Xiaoxiao stepped forward and gently stroked Cheng Qing's back to comfort him.

"They... I died of illness on the way while fleeing Xin'an City, and I was later rescued by a passing class master. ”

Xu Xiao looked at Cheng Qing with pain, "Then do you know who harmed your family?" ”

Cheng Qing bit his lower lip and shook his head, pinching his joints tightly.

"Why didn't you report to the police?"

Xu Xiaoxiao still doesn't understand the Cheng family's approach, shouldn't he go to the official first to escape death? Why run for your life?

"At that time, my father had already thought that someone was trying to murder our family, and when we came out of the cellar, the government decided that it was an accidental fire without any inquiry.

My father felt that the murderer might be complicit with the government, and if we showed up, we were afraid that we would not even be able to save our lives, so I simply fled from Xin'an City overnight. ”

Cheng Qing's mood stabilized a lot, his eyebrows and eyes were sad, and he muttered to himself as he recalled the past.

Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that things would not be so simple, "Do you have enemies?" ”

"No, we have a good relationship with our neighbors, and my father always takes care of the beggars on the side of the road."

Have a harmonious relationship with your neighbors and have a good heart, it stands to reason that you will not have a grudge with others, and you can do such a vicious thing, in addition to deep hatred, it is nothing more than a collision of interests.

It must be that the Cheng family touched the interests of some people, so that the murderer would be mad and murder the Cheng family.

"Looks like there's something greasy in here." Xu Xiaoxiao touched her chin and thought deeply.

"Miss Xu, my father guessed that it was a ghost made by his peers, you choose to open a shop here now, I'm afraid of ....."

"I'm afraid that even we will be murdered by the time?"

Cheng Qing nodded in a panic, this was what she was most worried about, and it was inconvenient for her to say that the shopkeeper Huang was present.

Miss Xu is kind to the troupe, and she really doesn't want to see anyone get hurt because of this.

"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of heaven and earth, and just ants are not enough to scare me." Xu Xiaoxiao patted Cheng Qing's shoulder to comfort.

Cheng Qing knew that Xu Xiaoxiao was comforting her, so she had no choice but to force a smile and no longer dissuade her.

About half a stick of incense, Liu Zhouzi and Liu Mengzhou stepped down from the carriage and looked up at the blackened restaurant in front of them.

This is the largest restaurant they have ever seen when they have grown up, except for the scorched beams and walls, the structure of the shop is still very strong, and it is not affected at all.

"How? Can it be renovated? Xu Xiaoxiao asked along Liu Mengzhou's line of sight.

Liu Mengzhou locked his eyebrows and pondered, "Can be can, but it takes a long time." ”

It is impossible to repair such a huge project in a year and a half, and it takes months for the walls and columns to be repainted.

Besides, it's going to be winter soon, and even if you put on good paint, you won't be able to do it right away.

After the paint dries, you have to re-apply a layer of oil, and after a few procedures, it can't be fast at all.

Xu Xiaoxiao can't wait so long, it is the hot pot season after winter, and she still wants to make a name for herself with the hot pot on the market.

"How many people you need, I'll arrange it for you, up to a month." Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes looked at Liu Mengzhou firmly and said.

Liu Mengzhou exclaimed, not only did he feel incredible, but Liu Zhouzi, who was listening, also felt that Xu Xiaoxiao was a little difficult.

This paint needs to be dried naturally, it is not something they can control, the weather is bad in winter, it is easy to get wet, how can it be repaired in a month.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the embarrassed expressions of the two, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about the paint problem, I have a machine to dry, you just follow the procedure." ”

Originally, the two of them were depressed, but when they heard that the problem of paint drying could be solved, their gloomy expressions immediately brightened.

Liu Zhouzi couldn't wait to ask, "Little Miss, do you have any interesting objects?" ”

What he looks forward to the most is that every time he encounters a problem, Xu Xiaoxiao can always conjure up fresh tricks, first the weeding machine, and then the strangely shaped tableware in the kitchen.

Everything can be an eye-opener, and they are used to making small tricks, no matter what it is, they will no longer ask about the source.

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled mysteriously and smiled without saying a word.

It was a carriage parked in front of the shop, and a man in a fancy costume got out of the carriage.

Everyone looked at it, and when a few people saw it clearly, a cheerful smile appeared on their faces.

"Shopkeeper Zhao?" Liu Qiaoer trotted up to greet him.

When Shopkeeper Zhao saw Liu Qiao'er as if he was seeing his daughter, he stretched out his hand with a smile and looked at Liu Qiao'er from above.

He pretended to be disgusted and said, "Qiao'er, you're fat again." ”

"Nothing." Liu Qiao'er looked down angrily at her figure.

Xu Xiaoxiao walked out of the store with a smile on her face, "Shopkeeper Zhao, it's been hard along the way." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao saw that Xu Xiaoxiao's hanging heart finally fell.

Now that Shu is not stable, many displaced people have poured in, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate are not in good condition, so they let the displaced people enter the city.

As a result, there was a conflict between the displaced people and the people in the city, and the new magistrate was incapable of dealing with the riots.

And then many shops in the city closed down, and the closed stores, he also struggled until now before he had to choose to leave.

Otherwise, he would not want to move his family to an unfamiliar environment for a large number of grades.
