Jiuxi pinched Su Jiu, and while suppressing the discomfort in her body, she looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, I wonder if this man is a guest of your inn? Is he staying overnight or staying here?"
Originally, the man sneaked upstairs to steal something.
The old shopkeeper looked a little unhappy and said, "This is not a guest of our inn!"
Now, this man sneaked into the inn without anyone noticing. The old shopkeeper couldn't help but vent his anger on the waiter. The waiter was also confused and said, "Boss, the man said... he was a servant of these two young ladies."
That's why the waiter didn't ask.
Now, the truth was revealed. Jiuxi had indeed assaulted someone, so the shopkeeper kindly urged him to pay some compensation. However, Jiuxi glanced coldly at the man pretending to be dead on the ground and said, "Shopkeeper, I don't understand what you're saying. I've already done my best by not sending him to the authorities. Now, you're asking me to pay?"
No matter how much money she had, she was unwilling to give this man a penny.
When the man heard the word "government", he patted the ground and stood up with a pleading look in his eyes. He said, "Miss, please don't hold grudges against me. I just fell to the ground accidentally..."
This man never mentioned the fact that Jiuxi beat him up, and had to bear it with gritted teeth.
Such a farce was finally over. When Jiuxi was considering whether to go downstairs to get some food, someone knocked on the door unexpectedly. Su Jiushi was cautious and asked, "Who is it?"
"I'm Xiao Er."
Su Jiu then opened the door with confidence. The waiter looked simple and honest, and even his eyes were a little scared. He was holding a tray with several dishes on it, including braised fish and stir-fried vegetables. The waiter said, "I'm sorry to have scared the two ladies!"
As he said that, the waiter walked in with some panic, placed several dishes on the table, and then retreated timidly.
Perhaps it was made with care, so the dish was quite good. The two of them ate until their mouths were full of oil. After wiping their mouths with handkerchiefs, Jiuxi and Sujiu lay on the same bed. Sujiu was a restless person and asked, "Where are we going tomorrow?"
Jiuxi thought for a while and said, "Isn't it the Qiqiao Festival tomorrow? There are lanterns in the mortal world."
Strangely enough, ever since that layer of bloody thought surged up in her, she no longer felt drowsy all day like she did in the underworld. Instead, she felt more energetic.
The two talked for a while and then fell asleep. After hearing their steady breathing, the tiles on the eaves were covered again. Gong Ci's stern face was full of coldness. He flicked his sleeves and jumped off the roof. The man who followed Jiuxi during the day was now wandering around the street with a wine pot. His eyes were a little red. He saw a man hazily and was about to go around him, but he never expected that the man blocked his way again.
The man cursed, "You have no eyes! You are blocking my way!"
Gong Ci raised a cold smile at the corner of his mouth. The moonlight cast a night frost, and the winding bloodstains on the ground looked unusually black. Gong Ci held a wooden barrel in his hand, with broken flesh and blood in it. The man's eyes were vaguely visible, and there were some bloodstains on Gong Ci's white robe. He flew towards the mountains and forests outside Yangzhou City, threw the meat in the barrel under the cliff, and left without any nostalgia.
