Hearing what the head of the house said, the woman didn't say anything. She immediately arranged for her husband to sleep, moved a lamp to the woodshed, and after cleaning it up, she said apologetically: "The conditions are really simple, please bear with me."
There is only this quilt left, so please half cover it and half cushion it!"
I can have a place to sleep, what else can I ask for? The young man was naturally very grateful, "Thank you for your trouble, this is already very good, I can't thank you enough."
After hearing this, the woman stared at him under the light for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "I just said, where can there be such a handsome boy? It turns out to be a girl."
Seeing her surprise, the woman smiled and said, "My head of the household is blind and has always been careless. He couldn't tell how you were dressing up. I just saw something was wrong."
This young man is indeed a woman disguised as a man, but it is none other than Qiao Yuyan.
She had just untied all the curtains in the room that could be untied, and then put them out and in from the window in order from dry to wet. She wet the quilt and put it aside to wait, leaving the back window alone for herself.
He stood by the window and waited.
Since the fire started from the window, it was easy to spot outside and could easily scare people. After lighting it, she took a wine bottle and threw it under the window of the opposite room.
The fire was bound to be discovered quickly.
When Shen Jing returns from the original route, she will inevitably be forced back by the thick smoke. Seeing the chaos, she will naturally want to use the people at the inn to confirm whether she is inside.
The best way to save someone in a fire is to come in wrapped in a wet quilt. When she saw the person coming in, she wrapped herself in the quilt she had prepared in advance and followed the person out.
In addition, before the fire started, she hurriedly put on the clothes left by Shen Jing, tied up her hair, and darkened her face. No one could tell that she was a woman at night.
No one expected that this ordinary woman would see through her disguise at a glance.
Seeing her embarrassment, the woman smiled gently and said, "Who hasn't been in trouble yet? Don't worry! If I don't tell anyone, the head of the family will never know that you are a girl. It's just..."
She looked at the bed she had just made, "Wait a minute!"
After saying that, he went out, and when he came back after a while, he held two thick cotton-padded jackets in his hands, "My girl is weak and can't stand the cold. You can put these two clothes on her when you go to bed later!"
Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but feel moved. She was caught by Shen Jing in the past few days. Although she was eating well and being served by people every day, her heart was always full of anxiety, and she was even more suspicious of everyone around her.
I just feel that everyone's approach has some purpose.
As for this woman now, just such a simple and ordinary sentence made her almost shed tears.
The woodshed was small and shabby, but it was kept very clean. It was obvious that a lot of thought had been put into the temporary "bed".
Thick rice straw was placed underneath, and a patched coarse cloth sheet was spread on top. The surroundings were tightly tied with hemp rope to prevent the rice straw underneath from being scattered when sleeping at night.
The quilt had just been taken out. Although there were patches on the quilt surface, it was washed very smooth.
The woman was dressed very plainly and had patches on her cuffs, but her eyes made people feel very warm.
Her observation seemed to be very keen, and she immediately noticed Qiao Yuyan's mood, and said with a smile: "Everyone is in trouble. The fact that you met our family at this time means that we have this fate.
You, a girl, must have some unavoidable reasons for living outside like this. Don't think too much about it now, just sleep peacefully. No matter how big the suffering is, it will eventually pass."
Qiao Yuyan nodded repeatedly, "I listen to my sister."
"Just call me Sister Xiang. All the little girls around me call me that."
Qiao Yuyan followed the good advice and immediately called her.
When Sister Xiang closed the door and went out, Qiao Yuyan heard whispers coming from the room next door, but she couldn't hear clearly. The man's voice seemed louder, but she was soon trapped.
It's so confusing.
For so many days, except for the day when Xiao Wu used Meng Xiangtian, Qiao Yuyan had never slept so soundly.
But this was destined to be a sleepless night. Shen Jing listened to their reports one by one with a livid face, and was so angry that she said, "It's ridiculous! How can such a big person disappear inexplicably?!"
"Could it be... that the man named Wen who was driving the tiger away from the mountain? Someone else was sent to pick her up?"
Hearing what her subordinates said, Shen Jing felt like she was about to laugh out loud, "If it weren't for Bell Watcher B, I would have needed to deploy so many people? Zhong Ren B is already entangled with you guys. , who else has such great ability to take people away under the eyes of so many people?"
After she finished speaking, the people below did not dare to say anything. Shen Jing gritted her teeth and said, "Have you carefully checked the residents around the group just now? Are there any among them?"
Two of them looked at each other and said categorically: "No, as soon as the fire started, we went directly to the roof. We looked at everyone who appeared, and there was no one named Qiao."
Shen Jing became even more angry and uncomfortable, what is this?
She didn't believe that Wen Tingyuan would send anyone other than Zhong Renyi. He himself was a strong martial artist, but he was currently involved in a lawsuit. If he wanted to continue to explore Jiangxi, he couldn't act rashly at this time. .
"We will continue the search tomorrow morning! No one in the restaurant or inn will be spared."
"Is she... rich?"
Shen Jing glanced at the person who spoke as if she was an idiot, "She used a trick in that room to hide her and ran away. Doesn't she know how to take my money? No matter how bad it is, she can just leave with a few things. Pawn some money."
When he heard her say this, he immediately said smartly: "Yes, we have to check the pawn shop, and we can find some clues even if we don't know."
Shen Jing heard the words and said: "Please be quiet, this Nankang magistrate is a man who recognizes money but not people. We haven't captured him yet, so don't disturb him, otherwise I'm afraid it will cause trouble." "
Everyone immediately agreed, and finally someone couldn't help but said: "Master, there is something that I have been thinking about for a long time and haven't figured it out yet."
Shen Jing was in a bad mood and didn't even bother to talk. She just glanced at him coldly.
The man could only bite the bullet and said under pressure: "Aren't we arresting the guy named Qiao just to threaten the guy named Wen? Now that the guy named Wen is aware of it, shouldn't we have a good negotiation with him?"
