Shen Qiqi suddenly became stiff like a puppet with its strings pulled, not daring to move.
The warm breath brushing against her neck suddenly made her come back to life.
She quickly removed her hands that were covering her eyes, first lowered her eyes and quickly glanced at the hands that were blocking her mouth, then raised her chin and struggled to turn her head to look behind her, her clear and bright eyes blinking as she looked at the person behind her in confusion.
Meaning: What's wrong?
Young Master Xie moved his lips a few times: Someone is coming.
Shen Qiqi understood and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: Oh!
Young Master Xie then took away the hand that was covering her mouth, raised his eyelids to look outside the door, and then looked at the person in his arms.
This time he didn't even have to bother to say anything, Shen Qiqi immediately understood what he meant. After making the shape of "wait for me" with her mouth, she turned around and left, then helped him close the door. Then she quickly returned to her "cell", closed the door, and pounded the wall with her hands.
He beat her while wailing, "Let me out, I want to go out, it's so boring... Master, I was wrong, please come and save me——"
Xie Beiming was still standing by the door, listening to the pretentious and elongated wails of Shen Qiqi next door. He was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up and he shook his head in amusement.
Shen Qiqi didn't think there was anything shameful about this. In her previous life, when she was a big devil, she even competed with squirrels for food. The poor squirrel family of three worked hard to store a full tree hole full of food. They thought they could have a happy winter with their wife and children, but they ended up encountering a hungry robber like her who came to rob them.
The squirrel father was angry but dared not say anything. He took his wife and children to hide on the branches and looked at her with tears in his eyes. Seeing this, the robber's eyes became hot and he stuffed the fruit into his mouth while tears streaming down his face.
She used to be a daughter of a wealthy family, the kind who wouldn't even bother eating every other meal. Unexpectedly, one day, she would be so hungry that she had to compete with squirrels for food.
In the end, she couldn't bear to eat up all the food in the tree hole, so she left most of it for the family of three.
A few days later, she disguised herself as a wandering cultivator in the mountains and went to a wealthy family's house to help exorcise evil spirits. After the task was completed, she was rewarded with thirty taels of silver. She immediately ran to the market with the thirty taels of silver and bought a sack of fruit. She carried the sack all the way to the woods to find the squirrel family of three.
When they ran over to take a look, they found that the hole was empty - the family of three had actually moved away with their stored food.
I guess he was afraid that this robber would get hungry and come to rob again one day.
She was very sad about this and could only silently pour the fruits into the tree hole, hoping that one day the family of three would revisit the place and see her sincere and repentant heart.
There were many embarrassing things like this, but the pretentious, elongated and emphasized wails like the one now were nothing at all, so Shen Qiqi felt no burden at all when she howled.
The people outside must have heard the noise she made while chiseling the wall. If they found out that she had chiseled a hole in the wall and was trying to escape from prison, the benefit of having the prison door unlocked would definitely be taken back, and she might even be taken away and put in solitary confinement.
She doesn't want to be held in solitary confinement!
The footsteps came from far away.
Finally stopped at the door.
Then there was a creaking sound and the door was pushed open a crack.
A furry head poked in. Shen Qiqi quickly stopped pounding the wall, turned around, and used her back to block the hole she had dug. She looked towards the door with joy, her eyes shining.
"Senior Brother, are you here to let me out?"
The senior brother looked at the back of her slightly red and swollen hand, his eyes flashing with understanding, "I see," and then his expression became serious and he said solemnly: "Junior sister, if you make a mistake, you must be punished. Don't mess around anymore."
Seeing the little girl lower her head in frustration, the senior brother sighed again, then relaxed his expression and comforted her, "It's only been thirty days of seclusion, little sister, just think of it as a retreat, it will be over soon."
For those who practice cultivation, seclusion is commonplace. Sometimes it lasts for three to five months, and three to five years is not uncommon. Thirty days of seclusion is really no big deal.
Shen Qiqi was "comforted" and became excited. She straightened her back and nodded heavily, "Yes! I understand! Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother!"
The senior brother smiled at her with satisfaction: "Then, little junior sister, practice well."
After he finished speaking, he closed the door again. Shen Qiqi tilted her ear and listened for a moment. When she didn't hear the click of the lock, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she hurriedly dug out the masonry chisel from under the bed, tore it off, and ran to the space to dig out a handful of mud to block the hole.
After destroying all the evidence, Shen Qiqi waited for a while and made sure that no one was guarding outside. Then she quietly opened the door and slipped out. Then she tiptoed like a cat into the neighbor's house next door.
Young Master Xie was dressed neatly this time. He was not surprised at all when he saw her sneaking in. He even poured her a cup of tea like a host.
Shen Qiqi was in no mood to drink tea. As soon as the door closed, she quickly took out the sachet from her arms and untied the drawstring on the bag while muttering.
"These contain herbs specifically for treating injuries. Don't be fooled by their shabby appearance, but they can stop bleeding immediately. They are absolutely priceless and only come by chance. Hurry and apply them."
His enthusiastic salesmanship made him look like a barefoot doctor selling quack plasters on the street.
Xie Beiming looked at the little girl who was chattering in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
He turned around and took off his shirt.
"Yeah. Come on."
"Okay...ah?" Shen Qiqi felt something was wrong after she said "Okay". She raised her head suddenly and saw a bright red jade back - bright red because the back was covered in blood.
