Jiang Xi simply went to the toilet seriously, pretended to flush the toilet and wash his hands, and then walked carefully to the east room with his head hung down, looking honest.
"Wait."
Just when Jiang Xi was two or three meters away from the door, a voice stopped her. The girl raised her thin single eyelids and raised her chin towards her:
"What were you doing?"
Jiang Xi's face was pale, his legs were shaking like sieves, and he stammered, "I, my stomach hurts, I'm going to the toilet." He looked very timid.
She has been very successful in establishing herself as an honest and well-behaved person recently. Before going out, she made herself sloppy and unkempt, making it impossible for people to even take a second look at her. So even though the beggar girl didn't like the girl's delicate and tender appearance, she didn't doubt it much and only wanted to make things difficult for her.
"Hands out."
Jiang Xi stretched out his left hand tremblingly, and Liu Meijuan opened it with a snap: "Right hand."
She slowly stretched out her right hand, both of which were clean and white. Liu Meijuan walked around her and stroked Jiang Xi's shoulders, back, waist and hips. Jiang Xi's heart almost jumped out of her throat:
“Plop, plop—”
Brother Cheng and Brother Lu stopped arguing. Their lewd and obscene gazes circled around the girl's youthful figure, finally lingering on her curvy waist and hips, unable to be shaken off.
Jiang Xi sighed:
Others are the butchers and I am the meat.
"Sister Meijuan, everyone has to go out to discuss business tomorrow. You, Brother Cheng, and Brother Lu have all worked hard today. Why don't Asi and I keep watch all night?"
Dagui spoke up and rescued her.
Jiang Xi lowered her head, and the beggar girl finally let her go and let her push the door open. As she passed by Cheng Ge and Lu Ge, she glanced at them unhappily and said, "Don't look at it. This is a clean product. I can't let you mess with it, or I won't be able to sell it for a good price."
"Rubbing fire? Isn't there another one inside? Do you want me to call it out and play with you together?"
Cheng and Lu glanced at each other. Lu was a little frightened and waved his hand awkwardly: "No, no, it's up to you, Wu. I drank too much horse urine today, so I can't do it anymore."
Having said that, he turned around and went back to his room in a huff.
Brother Cheng was still furious, and was further provoked by the high school girl's youthfulness. He actually pushed the door open and picked up Zhong Huier who was sleeping against the wall, and made a big fuss.
In the darkness, Jiang Xi lay on his back, stretched out, and listened quietly to the sound of Cheng Ge taking Zhong Huier out of the house.
"Sister Jiang, that guy called Sister Zhong out. Was he going to beat her up?"
Most of the children seemed to understand but not quite.
The boy beside Jiang Xi held his breath, and Sun Ting remained silent for a rare moment. Her curled fingers dug into her flesh, causing a sharp, needle-like pain in her palm. Whether it was grief or fear, Sun Ting couldn't tell.
Even the thought of going home has become less frequent lately.
Jiang Xi patted her soothingly but said nothing. Sun Ting was too young to keep a straight face, so it would be better to inform her at the last minute.
When Zhong Huier returned to her room, it was already late at night.
Her hands and feet were sore, and she ate the porridge mixed with drugs and was tortured for nearly an hour. When she entered the room, she felt that all the bones in her body were almost not her own, and pain and fatigue swept over her.
Zhong Huier couldn't help but curse the culprit harshly in her mind.
If this fails, let's see how she will deal with her.
Just as she was thinking viciously, she felt a warm hand as she sat down against the wall. Jiang Xi calmly sat in her place and handed her a bucket of water: "Can you still hold on?"
Zhong Huier knew what Jiang Xi meant. She gritted her teeth and said in a rough voice, "Do you think I'm you?!"
Jiang Xi was already used to her bad behavior and didn't take it seriously. He just extended the ladle forward and said, "Drink some water."
When doing that, Brother Cheng would not give her water. Zhong Huier was very thirsty, but she did not refuse Jiang Xi's kindness. She subconsciously reached out to take it and started drinking.
As soon as the water entered her stomach, Zhong Huier felt a lot lighter, perhaps it was an illusion, and even her sore legs and feet seemed to have some strength.
She wasn't one to overthink things, so she just assumed he was just too thirsty and asked about another topic of concern: "Did you get the stuff?"
"Got it."
After Jiang Xi got the car keys and map, he considered various situations that might arise when returning to the room. To be on the safe side, he did not bring them with him. He found a safe place to hide them in advance, intending to take advantage of the opportunity to get them later.
"When do we leave?"
"wait."
Jiang Xi remained calm and composed. Infected by her composure, Zhong Huier simply closed her eyes and rested.
"What's going on outside? Is Dagui guarding it?"
"Yes, his fellow villager named Asi is not here."
Jiang Xi nodded, as expected.
That Ah Xi was lazy and gluttonous. Every time he stayed on guard for a while, he would sneak back to his room to sleep, and then pretend to rush over when the others were still asleep. But the noble was honest and would not complain - of course, this situation was in their favor.
"Have you guessed that Dagui and Asi would be the ones keeping watch today?"
Zhong Huier asked suspiciously. It was Dagui's group that was on guard yesterday, so it should be Cheng Lu and the others' turn.
Jiang Xi was naturally unwilling to explain further, but thinking of his popularity, he became more patient and explained, "Cheng and Lu had a big fight and are tired of each other. How can they keep watch together? Others wouldn't feel comfortable with them together, lest they start fighting again. The best solution is for them to either separate and keep watch separately, or for Dagui and the others to temporarily switch to a team."
