Li Qi and Chu Changzui waited outside for a long time, and finally the shopkeeper came out from the back.
"Shopkeeper, how is it?" Li Qi asked.
They had just been listening to the noises in the back with bated breath, wondering if there would be any sounds of fighting.
After all, according to the legend, An Huoshaxi is not a person with a good temper.
... Of course, their own shopkeeper is not merciful.
If the saint accidentally angered the shopkeeper, she would not even let out her last scream in this world. If something really happened, they could go and collect the body at any time.
However, after about ten minutes, they only saw the shopkeeper walking out very calmly.
Not only that, the shopkeeper looked quite happy. Don't ask how you can tell a man with bangs covering half of his face is happy.
"Shopkeeper?" Chu Changzui was a little curious.
He walked in front of Feng Qing, raised his little head and asked, "How is that big sister now?"
Was she killed by the shopkeeper because he was unhappy?
"Ah? She fell asleep after taking the medicine." Feng Qing touched Xiaobai's head, which was furry.
What a good child, he knows how to care about others.
When Feng Qing thought of this, a particularly satisfied smile appeared on her face.
She had just fed the girl Maltesers, antipyretic medicine and an antibiotic.
I have to say that the physical constitution of ancient people was really strong. Even though the temperature was so high, after taking two pills, my forehead felt cold. This made Feng Qing start to think about whether he could write a paper to prove the actual effect of antibiotics on ancient people.
When Feng Qing was changing the girl's clothes, he saw the huge gold bracelet on her hand and the same gold anklet on her foot.
Not only that, the girl also had a knife with several huge rubies and several big cat eyes on it.
She didn't even wear shoes, she was completely barefoot.
This kind of dress doesn't look like the appearance of the Central Plains, but Feng Qing didn't know where it came from.
It's a bit like the dress of the queens of some country in Journey to the West.
But this girl also has black hair and black eyes. Apart from her skin color which is a bit too pale, the only thing that makes her look different from the people in the Central Plains is perhaps her big eyes and ridiculously long eyelashes.
If this girl wears glasses, Feng Qing suspects that her eyelashes will scratch the lenses.
But this girl is generally quite well behaved. Except for being a little eager to repay a favor, when she looks at Feng Qing with her big eyes, Feng Qing always feels like seeing another Li Xiaoqi blinking at her.
"Take the medicine and go to bed early." Feng Qing felt like she was teaching a preschooler. She said something and the girl did it.
After the girl finished taking the medicine, took her temperature, and fell asleep again on the bed, Feng Qing actually felt a sense of accomplishment in raising a daughter. She
's so cute.
Feng Qing was in a daze, while Li Qi and Chu Changzui looked at each other at the same time after hearing what she said.
Uh...
very well-behaved?
"That little sister is very well-behaved and cute, and she doesn't make any noise or trouble. You can go see her when she wakes up." Feng Qing said.
She was going to wait and see if the girl had any family members coming. If so, she would let her take the girl away. If not, they would stay here temporarily. There are
quite a lot of merchants from the Western Regions in Jiangnan. Sometimes you can see merchants dressed very beautifully riding into the city on horseback. Transportation was not convenient in ancient times. The girl might have been separated from her family, or she might have been robbed by bandits just after leaving the city.
Before the girl's family takes her away, she might have to stay in the inn for a few days, so the two original residents of the inn need to adapt first. After
Feng Qing finished speaking, she yawned lazily. After all the trouble, she was very sleepy.
So she didn't say anything more, and turned around and went back to sleep after explaining.
After Feng Qing went upstairs, Li Qi and Chu Changzui exchanged glances with each other, and the same meaning flashed in their eyes.
"Could it be that we have made a mistake? That person is not An Huoshaxi?" Chu Changzui said.
"Impossible, how can we make a mistake?" Li Qi frowned.
The two of them didn't say anything more, but came directly to An Huoshaxi's door.
"Let's go in and take a look?" Li Qi said.
Since the shopkeeper said that the little girl was cute and well-behaved, then they must have really made a mistake, which made them think about it for nothing.
"Hey, sometimes I also think that I have the problem of thinking too much." Chu Changzui said jokingly, "There is no way, I am used to fortune-telling, maybe in the future, I will have to change this habit."
The two of them pushed the door and walked in carefully. Since the little girl inside has a very good personality, they must be very careful when they go in, so as not to scare her.
Then...
After three minutes, Feng Qing, who was sleeping upstairs, suddenly heard a shocking sound in his sleep.
The sound shook the entire inn, as if a thunder had exploded in the ground.
"What's that sound? Is it thundering again?"
Feng Qing muttered and turned up the volume of the music in her headphones.
Because of this, she missed the next series of sounds.
This "thunder" rang from the backyard to the lobby, from the kitchen to the toilet, from the front street to the back street, from the south gate to the north gate...
In short, Feng Qing spent a very peaceful night.
...
The next day, it was a sunny day.
Feng Qing rubbed her eyes and prepared to go downstairs for dinner.
She patted her belly and walked towards the lobby impatiently.
However, when she arrived at the lobby, she was shocked.
"Li Qi."
Feng Qing said in amazement, "Is our inn... a lot emptier?"
Li Qi and Xiao Bai were eating on the few remaining chairs in the lobby, spooning food into their mouths intermittently.
After hearing Feng Qing's voice, the two seemed to come back to their senses and said listlessly, "Good morning, boss."
Feng Qing hurried down the stairs and took a look at the dishes on the table.
A bowl of porridge and a bowl of salted vegetables.
Apart from that, there was nothing else.
"Li Qi?!" Feng Qing was shocked.
You know, Li Qi is an extreme breakfast lover.
If there are no small sugar biscuits, fried dough sticks, pancakes, steamed buns, and tofu pudding on the breakfast table, it is definitely not a normal meal.
What happened to Li Qi today?
"Where are the sugar cakes? Where are the fried dough sticks?" Feng Qing glanced across the street, and suddenly found that the fried dough stick stalls opposite that usually opened at this time were gone, and the street was empty.
"Oh, it's from the shopkeeper." Li Qi raised his head and glanced at Feng Qing, then pulled himself together and said, "I'm so sorry, there was a rat infestation in the store last night, and we two spent the whole night catching rats."
Feng Qing's eyes looked strangely at Li Xiaoqi, who was busy eating next to him.
Good guy, Li Xiaoqi, you started to slack off your work after eating and drinking.
"The tables and chairs were sent to the carpenter this morning." Chu Changzui rubbed his eyes and said, "It rained yesterday, and the tables and chairs are prone to mold. We asked the carpenter to take good care of them."
After saying that, he yawned. For some reason, Feng Qing always felt that Xiaobai seemed very sleepy today.
Oh... Feng Qing nodded.
She also sat down to prepare for dinner, but after drinking two mouthfuls of porridge, she suddenly remembered something and looked up and asked, "By the way, where is the little girl who came to us yesterday?"
Before she finished speaking, a timid voice came from behind.
"I, I'm here."
Feng Qing turned her head and saw the little girl standing behind her, her hands constantly twisting back and forth.
She had changed her clothes and put on the clothes that Feng Qing put on her bedside yesterday.
In order to please her, Feng Qing specially found her a red dress.
This girl seemed to be very timid. She twisted her fingers twice and then secretly looked up at Feng Qing.
Her big eyes were just like a cat's, watery and clear.
Feng Qing couldn't hear her clearly in the heavy rain yesterday, but today she found that she seemed to have an accent when she spoke. It was a vague feeling, and it sounded particularly interesting, like a child talking.
"You finally woke up!" Feng Qing was very happy.
She found that the little girl had been twisting her fingers, so she sighed, "Oh, what a lovely girl, but she is really too shy."
As soon as she finished speaking, the two people behind her shuddered.
An Huoshaxi timidly raised her head and glanced at Feng Qing again, her eyes seemed to be afraid that Feng Qing would scold her.
Feng Qing's heart softened when she saw An Huoshaxi's little eyes. She reached out and pulled the little girl to sit next to her, served her a bowl of porridge, and prepared to eat.
"Eat more, don't be afraid." Feng Qing said generously.
She pointed to Li Qi who was drinking porridge opposite and said, "This is your big brother Li Qi, he has the most stable personality. Tell him what you want to eat or play in the future. Don't think your big brother Li Qi looks depressed, he actually has a good personality."
After saying that, Feng Qing looked at Li Qi, hoping that Li Qi would show his little pear vortex that he almost never showed to outsiders, but he only saw Li Qi lowering his head to drink porridge without saying a word.
It's strange, Li Qi is also a little shy today.
Feng Qing pointed at Chu Xiaobai and said, "This is the youngest employee in our inn. He has a lively personality and is sometimes a little naughty, but he is definitely a good kid. If you have nothing to do, you can take him out to play."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Chu Xiaobai and found that the little brat had a cold expression on his face.
That arrogant expression was exactly the same as when Feng Qing faced ten math papers when she was in junior high school.
Why is this kid so naughty this morning?
Feng Qing sighed that people's hearts are not easy to lead these days, and then she saw the little girl still looking at her timidly. She said, "Don't be afraid, they are just shy of strangers. What's your name?"
"My name is An Huo." The girl said in a low voice.
"Anhuo, remember to eat your meal, and take medicine after that."
Feng Qing stood up and prepared to go upstairs to have a bag of dry crispy noodles.
However... just after she went upstairs, the atmosphere in the lobby suddenly changed.
Li Xiaoqi meowed, left the small yellow croaker, and chased Feng Qing upstairs.
The three people who were drinking porridge just now stopped what they were doing at the same time and looked at each other dangerously for a second.
The well-behaved little girl sitting at the table suddenly raised her head and looked at the two people opposite.
In her cat-like eyes, the pupils began to shrink abruptly, just like the appearance of a beast in the desert before hunting.
"That's enough." Chu Changzui suddenly put down the spoon and said, "Enough is enough. Do you still want to see the knife of the man next to you?"
At this time, Li Qi opposite her raised his head, his eyes were already full of murderous intent.
An Huoshaxi stared at him for a long time with her cat-like eyes, and then she held her bowl of porridge with both hands again.
...
"What happened to this inn today?" The vendor of the fried dough sticks stall opposite said timidly.
He still couldn't forget the thrilling scene last night.
The governor ordered him to observe the situation here at any time. He saw a woman who seemed to have entered the inn yesterday, and if he was not mistaken, that woman was the Saint of Jiyouhai, An Huoshaxi.
This was a big deal. He had just written a letter to the governor, but before the letter was sent out that night, the peddler suddenly saw the woman killed.
It was a nightmare that he would never get rid of in his life.
"No, I still have to get the news, otherwise how can I report it to the governor?" The peddler made up his mind and walked directly into the inn.
It just so happened that Feng Qing was slacking off downstairs.
The peddler approached cautiously, and he heard the shopkeeper laughing happily.
"So cute, I've never seen such a well-behaved girl." The shopkeeper said, "You are really the most well-behaved girl I've ever seen."
The peddler silently looked in the direction the shopkeeper pointed, and then...
he saw An Huo Sha Xi.
This made the peddler shudder instantly.
He thought, the shopkeeper... said that the girl in front of him is cute, are you serious?
