Seeing the little girl's coy look, Ji Jie smiled bitterly and said, "Is it so difficult for you to tell the truth? Then let's do it. You can always tell me your name, right?"
She was not being coy, but she didn't believe Ji Jie at all. Since she didn't believe it, how could she possibly tell the truth.
"My name is Mei Duo!" the little girl said softly.
"Mei Duo, what a good name, my name is Ji Jie!" Ji Jie was still smiling. He tried his best to show himself as a gentleman, but in Mei Duo's view, he was a real bad guy.
No wonder, the scene when the two met for the first time was so dramatic that no one would believe it.
"I didn't ask you what your name is!" Mei Duo said angrily.
"My name is Ji Jie even if you don't ask!" Ji Jie thought to himself: What's going on? A caught thief is still so strong. I must have made myself too weak to have such a result. .
"Keep talking!" Ji Jie's tone became much stiffer.
Just when Mei Duo was about to have a seizure, she suddenly realized that her life was still in the hands of others. She curled her lips and said: "My grandma is very ill and has no money to treat her illness, so she has to come here to try her luck. I heard that all the merchants who pass by are very happy." rich……"
"Why choose me?"
"You bring three servants, and the other guests bring one or two at most. I think you are the richest one!"
"Uh!" Ji Jie was stunned.
At this time, I heard noisy footsteps outside.
"I found footprints in the back. It must be a thief. Everyone, please search the house for me to ensure the safety of all guests!" There was a shout, followed by ten people responding at the same time. Not to mention, these inn guys can be like this It's not easy to find the thief quickly.
"Hide quickly!" Ji Jie pointed to the bed, and Mei Duo jumped up quickly and got into the bed.
Then, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Who?"
"I'm a guy here. There's a thief in the store. I don't know which room he's hiding in. We're going to search. Please cooperate!"
"Wait a minute, I'll get dressed first..." Ji Jie lit the oil lamp on the table with a fire stick, yawned and opened the door, pretending not to wake up and said, "Why did you attract a thief? I was sleeping. Zhengxiang, I didn’t think anyone came in!”
The clerk poked his head into the room to take a look, and when he scanned the big bed, he didn't notice Mei Duo hiding under the quilt.
Ji Jie suddenly thought that the window was still wide open. It would be bad if the waiter saw it. He had an idea and pretended to be cold and said: "It's really cold here at night. I was woken up by the cold when I went to bed just now." Several times!"
The waiter pointed to the window and said: "Sir, you forgot to close the window. The temperature here is very different at night compared with the daytime. Many guests who forgot to close the window have suffered from the cold because of it. You'd better close it quickly!"
"Thanks for reminding me!" Ji Jie smiled. Seeing that there was no other person in the room, the waiter stepped back.
The three Xiong brothers who lived next door also came to inquire. Of course Ji Jie couldn't say that the thief was hiding here, so he sent them all away one by one.
After closing the door, Ji Jie let out a sigh of relief. After all, his identity was very sensitive, and what he wanted to do happened to be against the King of Qin. Plus, he was charged with harboring a thief, so he couldn't even think about hanging around here.
Mei Duo's little head got out of the quilt and asked in a low voice: "Shall we leave? I can leave too. How can I be discovered?"
Didn't they just say that footprints were found behind the house? Who else could have left them besides a thief? Be gentle next time... Well, there won't be a next time!
"You can't leave yet!" Ji Jie stepped forward and held down the girl's shoulders, saying in a deep voice: "There are so many people outside looking for you, and there is only a dead end if you go out! Listen to me, wait until the limelight is over before you go out!"
"Okay then!" Mei Duo lowered her head in disappointment. When she saw Ji Jie beginning to take off her coat, she huddled up warily and said in a slightly trembling voice: "What are you going to do?"
"Go to bed! Huh!" Ji Jie blew out the oil lamp and walked over with a smile: "Before you came here, I have been in bed! Do you want me to stand aside and wait with you? The guy outside was temporarily They won’t give up for a moment, God knows how long they will be looking for, let’s get some sleep first, hehe!”
"Then what should I do?" Mei Duo tightly pulled the quilt covering her body.
Ji Jie raised his head slightly to think, and after a few seconds said: "Either stay in, or go out and die, you decide for yourself!"
After saying that, he got on the bed without any explanation and pulled a large part of the quilt over his body with a strong tug. Mei Duo was so frightened that she quickly shrank in again.
"Hehe, if I were you, I would get some sleep first before talking!" Ji Jie said with a smile: "Keep your spirits up, and sneak out when it's almost dawn, when people are the most tired, and you won't know what's going on." Don’t realize it!”
Mei Duo still wanted to shrink in, but she had already retreated to the wall.
After a while, Ji Jie let out a steady breath.
He actually fell asleep? Mei Duo's eyes widened. He could actually fall asleep in such a situation. Aren't he afraid that I would do something bad to him?
Thinking of this, Mei Duo touched the inside of her right boot with her right hand. There was a sharp dagger hidden there. All she had to do was pull out the dagger and stab it hard. The sleeping man would be able to see the King of Hell, and no one would know about her night. It's about breaking into the inn.
He slowly pulled out the dagger, and a cold light flashed.
In fact, Ji Jie was not asleep. When Mei Duo pulled out the dagger, his heart was in his throat. Although he knew very well that he could kill the opponent with one palm before being stabbed, his heart still felt. Jumping wildly and uncontrollably.
Ji Jie thought silently in his heart, you'd better not be like this, otherwise the outcome will be tragic!
Mei Duo raised the dagger high and was about to stab her. At this moment, her hand began to tremble. After a few seconds, she took it back and inserted the dagger in the original place.
Ji Jie's high-spirited heart finally fell. This shows that Mei Duo's nature is not bad. Maybe it is as she said. Her family is too poor and cannot afford medicine, so she took this step.
Mei Duo also lay down and soon fell asleep.
This time it was Ji Jie's turn to be surprised. This girl must be too nervous to fall asleep in such a situation!
Mei Duo fell asleep, but Ji Jie couldn't sleep.
Until daybreak, Ji Jie gently moved her and whispered: "There is no sound outside, you should go!"
"Don't make any noise, I'm so sleepy..." Mei Duo, who was sleeping, actually pushed Ji Jie's hand away, pulled the quilt and continued to sleep.
Is there any mistake? I kept watch for you while you were sleeping, and even told you not to let me stop making noise... Oh, oh, heaven, earth!
Unwilling to give in, she pushed her again. This time, Little Lo-Li showed even more impatience: "I want to sleep, don't bother me..."
Ji Jie had no choice but to sit quietly and wait for her to wake up.
