Soon it was time for breakfast.
When Lao Wang opened the curtain and was about to go to the kitchen, he saw Chen Ji sitting at the door of the firewood room fishing, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
When Chen Ji saw Lao Wang, he hurriedly got up and called out, "Uncle."
'Come back so soon? Lao Wang thought in his heart, walked into the kitchen, and when he was about to serve the meal, he thought of Ruan Qing who had chopped a pile of firewood yesterday and hadn't eaten yet.
Although he didn't want to keep Ruan Qing for the sake of his relatives, he still couldn't starve to death.
"Where's Cao Qing?" Old Wang said to Chen Ji, "Call someone over for dinner."
Chen Jizheng's hands froze while holding the spoon to scoop soup into the pot.He reacted quickly, and said with an embarrassed smile, "He went out just now, and he will come back later."
Lao Wang seemed to know something, stopped talking, and looked at Chen Ji quietly.
Chen Ji scooped up the soup stiffly, and only heaved a sigh of relief when Lao Wang looked away.
Although the cook had given the route, Ruan Qing was an outsider after all, he stopped and stopped on the road before reaching the outside of the city, dumped the things in the bucket on the cart, and dragged the cart back.
Entering through the back door in the backyard, he parked the car at the door.
Old Wang from the front shop heard the movement and came out from the back door, and saw that Ruan Qing had lifted the bucket to the well, his face was flushed with exhaustion, and he was washing his face with water with his head down.He just looked at it for a moment, then turned around and went back into the house.
At last the work was done.Ruan Qing let out a long breath, raised her sleeve to wipe her forehead, but suddenly thought of something, brought her sleeve to her nose and sniffed it.
no taste.But just in case, he still made a cleansing formula.
Fortunately, he has Yuanling.Although the work was hard, in his eyes it was just a game, not worth worrying about.
"Boy, boy."
After two calls, Ruan Qing realized that she was calling him.He saw Uncle Cook standing at the door of the kitchen.Seeing him looking over, he said, "I left some food for you, come and eat."
Oh, yes, I have to be thankful that he has been fasted, otherwise it would be such a high-intensity job with little water and no water, whoever would do it.
After all these years of being pampered and pampered, it is very difficult to suddenly eat this tasteless meal.This time he can't throw it away behind his back, and he can't choose not to eat it.The bowl finally bottomed out, and he cleaned the bowl and put it away again.
Chen Ji treats customers in the front shop, and he is not needed now.He was finally able to rest for a while, sat on Chen Ji's bed, and slowly rubbed his calves.
The weather is gradually warming up, and the sunlight in Xiliang during the day is still very dazzling, falling on people's bodies warmly, even a little hot, and the floating clouds are slowly moving in the endless blue sky.
A dry breeze hit the face, which was colder than the southern spring breeze, causing Ruan Qing's originally moist and thin lips to turn up pale skin, and there was a slight pain when inhaled into the nasal cavity and passed through the trachea.
The sparrows landed on the eaves and chattered non-stop, and the hustle and bustle of the previous customers came from the back door from time to time.
It didn't take long before it was noon, and the shop gradually became more crowded, and smoke rose from the roof of the kitchen.
Chen Ji shuttled back and forth between the aisles, his busy face flushed red, he kept speeding up his pace, trying to make himself more agile, but he still couldn't reduce his error rate.
After being urged by the customer to serve the food again, he remembered that he had forgotten this table because he was too busy. He nodded and bowed and apologized to the customer to appease him, the sweat dripping from his forehead.
After finally appeasing the guest, the shopkeeper who had been watching from the background finally said, "Go and call Cao Qing to help."
Chen Ji's heart skipped a beat.
The bartender was originally recruited in the store, and those odd jobs Lao Wang saw more people and distributed more by the way, so the performance of the waiter work in the store is more important.Naturally, he hoped that Ruan Qing would stay far away from the front shop, so that he could just drive him away when the time came.
Seeing Lao Wang staring at him, Chen Ji bit the bullet and nodded.Reluctantly, he went to the backyard to call someone.
After all, Ruan Qing has experienced the big world, and the enemy army can calmly analyze and think of countermeasures when the enemy is on his head. Today, the small scene is not enough to make him mess up. Therefore, although the store is messy, his mind is very calm.He practiced martial arts again, and kept running back and forth between the tables, his figure was very capable.He was in the officialdom again, no matter how much he thought in his heart, his face could still smile like a flower.
Comparing two times, you can see the difference immediately.
Chen Ji peeked at Ruan Qing's smooth manner, and his heart was full of anger and sourness.
Time passed quickly, and the sun was about to set again after wandering around in the sky.
The orange dusk light fell on the vast land of Liangzhou, gently brushing every inch of the undulating mountains and rivers.
The lobby is full of twilight, and the shadows of wooden utensils cast on the ground are long.
Old Wang was still on the counter, planning today's profits with his abacus, and the room was filled with the crackling sounds of his hands.
Ruan Qing has already gone back to the backyard to tidy up her nest.After cleaning, Chen Ji also walked to the empty shop, said hello to Lao Wang, and was about to go home.
The gorgeous sunset light diffuses across the long street, and the houses on both sides are lined up in sequence, and every narrow alleyway where the shadows are gradually thinning is not spared.After a busy day, people return home and birds return to their nests.There is a satisfying tranquility in the small city.
But Chen Ji, who was walking in the alley, did not linger on the sight that he was used to.
He was walking on the way home alone, with his head slightly lowered, his face covered with a large haze of obscurity.His lips were pursed tightly, and there was a slight anger beating between his pupils.
He was still thinking about what Old Wang had said to him at the end.Lao Wang told him to be more diligent, and praised Cao Qing for his quick work, which was much better than him.
Thinking of Ruan Qing, he became even more angry.If it hadn't been for this brat to intervene, he would have stayed in the inn safely, why would there be such an annoying probationary period.
What's even more exasperating is that this kid actually made a small report on Lao Wang.It must have been a small report, otherwise how would Lao Wang know that he asked Cao Qing to do the work?
"Cao Qing..." Chen Ji whispered something in his mouth, his voice was extremely low, as if he was hiding infinite hatred.
If you are like this, don't blame me...
After a busy day, the familiar sourness and exhaustion came from my body.After rectifying, he crossed his legs on the bunk and slowly adjusted his meridian muscles.
Night quickly enveloped the vast land.Cang Yue quietly jumped out of the long and heavy ancient Great Wall, Ling Ling hung in the eternal sky, and the moonlight sprinkled every corner of the world.
Through the window sill, the bright light casts on the floor tiles in the house.At this time, Ruan Qing's eyes were closed, enjoying the coolness and caressing every inch of her body.
It was midnight, everything was silent, only a few stars accompanied the lonely moon.
Suddenly, there was a light sound above his head, like the sound of bricks and tiles knocking.
Ruan Qing's eyes suddenly opened.Years in the military have made him more alert than ordinary people.
There was a slight thud at the door.
At the moment when the door was gently pushed open, he jumped up and landed on the beam without a sound, stirring up a little pile of dust.
Through the moonlight, he saw a person walking in from the door, holding a long sword in his left hand, slowing down his pace, grabbing the hilt of the sword with his right hand and pulling it out, silently walking towards his bedding.
His den was in a corner, and was covered by a large area of shadow, so it was difficult to see what was going on inside.
The man stopped by his shop, raised the long sword in his hand, and stabbed down fiercely.
Ruan Qing's pupils constricted and she immediately jumped off.
At that time, the man realized that he had stabbed in the air, and before he could do anything in the future, Ruan Qing slashed the back of his neck severely, and the whole person fell forward, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a 'bang'.
Ruan Qing turned the person over and pulled off the veil, he didn't know this person.
He searched the person up and down again, but found no clues.
I picked up the weapon that fell on the ground and looked at it for a while. It was the most common weapon without any markings.
So why did this man kill him?Could it be Sima Hui's remnant party?But he has changed his name.Could it be Emperor Ziwei's power in the world?If so, I'm afraid it's really hard to handle.
Ruan Qing frowned slightly and looked at this person, thinking about what to do.
After a while, he found the hemp rope stored in the house, tied the man up and down tightly, and then took a rag to cover the man's mouth to ensure that the man would not break free, and then tapped his fingertips between the man's eyebrows , into a little coolness.
The other party wakes up leisurely.Seeing Ruan Qing, she was taken aback for a moment, and then realized her situation, whimpering and struggling to get away.
"You can't break free."
Ruan Qing sat on the mattress, erected the long sword, and pressed one hand on the hilt.The other party looked at him, and he said, "Who sent you here? I'll take the thing out of your mouth. You'd better not scream, or you will disturb others, and I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for you to escape."
The man nodded.Ruan Qing reached out and took the thing out of the man's mouth.
The man froze all over, his eyes widened, and he stared at Ruan Qing in a daze.
Seeing this situation, Ruan Qing cried out inwardly.A dark red blood flowed from the corner of the man's mouth, and then fell to the ground.
He threw the weapon away, hurriedly got up and went to check, only to see that the man was out of breath with his eyes open.
It's a dead man who took poison.
Feeling sorry for a moment, he stroked his eyelids and sighed softly.
When he first came here, it stands to reason that no one should have any hatred against him.
Sima Hui was dead again, and it was even more impossible for him to send someone.Now that he is dead in Jiangdong, the rest of the party should not know about his situation.
Gou Chen said that this place is his dojo, but Zi Wei didn't know it either.But after all, Ziwei and Gouchen are brothers.He also led the heavy star Han Zhenluo, so it was hard to guarantee that he didn't know anything.What's more, since he broke away from Ziwei's wishes, Ziwei has every reason to silence him.
Calculated now, Emperor Ziwei was the most suspected.But all this is just his conjecture.
Since the other party has sent someone over, they must have known about his current situation.The enemy is in the dark, but I am in the light.He had to think of a countermeasure.
This person is now dead here and cannot go back.The opponent must take action.He is not afraid of the other party's actions, only afraid of the other party's inaction, so that he is really at a loss what to do.As long as the other party dares to provoke him, he will not be able to catch the horse's feet.
But, what should I do with the corpse in his room?
Ruan Qing thought for a moment, then suddenly sneered.
Since the other party came quietly, he had to send it back, right?
The night covered up all the undercurrents in the city. As the sun rose and the moon set, a new day began again, and people woke up in a peaceful morning.
Yawning and walking down the stairs from the second floor, Pharaoh Wang was a little shocked when he saw Ruan Qing who was opening the door of the shop, and words came out of his mouth, "You..."
"What?" Ruan Qing turned to look at Old Wang.
Old Wang shook his head, "It's okay, I just want to sigh that you young people are in good health. After a busy day yesterday, you can still get up so early today."
Not long after, Chen Ji also came.As soon as he entered the door, he chirped to Old Wang, "Uncle, have you heard that a person died on the main road."
There haven't been many guests since the door was opened, so Lao Wang didn't know about it.
He was not curious when he heard what Chen Ji said, he just responded casually, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, there are so many people dying in this world, why make such a fuss."
"Uncle, you don't know. I heard that the man died on the street. He was seen by passers-by who went out in the morning. He hurriedly reported it to the government office. There were no clues. Now the government office is also having a headache."
"Yeah." Lao Wang seemed to be used to this kind of thing, without any gossip on his face, he said, "there is still a lot of work in the store, you might as well hurry to work instead of talking here, didn't you see Cao Qing is so busy that you don't rest."
Chen Ji's complexion suddenly turned ugly, he replied wearily, and went to work.
Probably because of Lao Wang's preaching, Chen Ji's work today is exceptionally quick.The kitchen was ready for dinner, and when Lao Wang called him over, he responded, "I ate at home this morning, and the store hasn't been cleaned yet, so I'll go clean it later, Uncle, you go first."
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
Ruan Qing saw Chen Ji's performance today.
Sure enough, something happened in the afternoon.
He was working in the front shop, when Chen Ji rushed out from the backyard and grabbed his wrist.
Ruan Qing glanced at the other party coldly, before she could say anything, she was dragged to the backyard by the other party, aggressively all the way.Ruan Qing looked at the young man who suddenly looked like he had been beaten with blood from behind in surprise.
Pulling him to the woodshed, Chen Ji dragged Ruan Qing into the room and let go, "Now you have no excuses."
Ruan Qing rubbed her sore wrist from being caught, secretly observed the situation in the room, and saw that almost all the shop assistants were there, even Lao Wang was there.
"What did I say?" Ruan Qing was puzzled.
Chen Ji immediately said loudly, "Of course it's because of you stealing things."
"Me? Stealing?"
"Don't you still recognize it?" Chen Ji pointed to a jade pendant in Lao Wang's hand, "I lost something in the guest's room, so it was dug out from your room. You got the stolen goods, do you still want to deny it?"
Ruan Qing took a look and almost laughed.He has served the two masters all these years, and he has seen a lot.The quality of this jade pendant did not catch his eyes at all, why bother to get such a broken stone, it is not worth a lot of money.
"I didn't take it."
"It's not that the one you took is under your quilt, you're clearly evading it." Chen Ji immediately jumped out.
Ruan Qing looked indifferent and ignored the young man. He looked at Old Wang and said calmly, "The firewood room is a place where everyone can come in. Maybe the thieves saw that the situation was wrong and sneaked in me to set up a frame for blame."
"Uncle, don't listen to him, he's just quibbling." Chen Ji hurriedly ignoring Old Wang, "Uncle, if the store can't afford this thief, we should drive him away."
Old Wang squeezed the jade pendant tightly, with a gloomy expression on his face, "This jade pendant was found out from the clothes under your quilt. All the shop assistants have seen it. You can't shirk it now. Someone, hold him down and give it away." official."
Hearing Lao Wang's words, Chen Ji couldn't stop his complacency, but when he heard that he was going to be sent off to the official, his expression froze suddenly.
send off?Why go to the official?This is different from what he thought.He just wanted to drive the man away.He didn't want to send the other party to the government.If this is the case, the matter may become a big mess.
"Uncle." Chen Ji tugged on Old Wang's sleeve and whispered, "I think it's enough to drive him away. You see, if you send him to an official, it will cause a big problem, and our store's reputation will not be good."
Unexpectedly, Lao Wang's attitude was very firm, and he didn't listen to Chen Ji at all, "Why are you still standing there, why don't you tie him up quickly."
"Wait a minute." Ruan Qing raised her hand to stop others from moving, "I'll follow you when I finish speaking."
After speaking, he looked at Lao Wang again, and his momentum changed instantly.It is no longer the innocence and cuteness of a young man when he was a waiter in the store.
He smiled thoughtfully, his eyes were slightly bent but there was no smile at all, and there was a slight chill in his brows, with the calmness and ease with which he could face anything after experiencing wind and rain,
"Treasurer Wang knows that anyone can enter the firewood room at will, and sending me to the government will damage the store's reputation, but he is already impatient to send Qing in. Shopkeeper Wang..."
Ruan Qing uttered a few words slowly, but her eyes were fixed on the other party, as sharp as a falcon, closely watching the other party's every movement, ready to analyze the person thoroughly at any time, "Last night, was it you..."
He saw Lao Wang's pupils trembling slightly.But Lao Wang's face remained the same, "What are you talking about, what was last night, what was the mess? Now that you have got the stolen goods, if you have anything to say, go to the government prison and talk about it."
After finishing speaking, he glanced coldly at the two guys who had been stunned for a long time, "Tie him up and send him to the government."
As if waking up from a dream, she hurriedly tied Ruan Qing with a rope.
Ruan Qing didn't resist, and laughed, "Then I have to thank Shopkeeper Wang for finding a place for Qing to live without working."
When he arrived at the government, the man explained to the officials, and Ruan Qing was pressed by the officials to go to prison.
Ruan Qing of iron, prison of flowing water.
Going to prison seems to be a common occurrence for Ruan Qing.This time she came here not in a death row, but because of a trivial matter of theft. Ruan Qing couldn't help but reflect on the decline in her performance.
The overall death cell is gloomy, while the lighting in ordinary prisons is not bad.Xida Puben is happy because it is in the north, although there is inevitably a lot of humidity in the prison, it is already very good in Ruan Qing.
It was the first time for the little official to meet such an obedient prisoner as Ruan Qing. He walked obediently, didn't talk about tricks, and didn't complain about injustice. He opened the prison door, and the prisoner walked in smoothly, and sat down on the couch , very quiet.
When the clerk locked the door, he couldn't help thinking, if every prisoner was as honest as this boy, how easy their work would be.
The cell was fairly clean, a small room with a small window on the high wall, and the room was quite bright.On the left and right, there are earth couches built together with the walls, which is very humane.Ruan Qing was in a very happy mood.
There was another person in the room, lying on another couch, with his arms pillowed on his pillow, his legs crossed, with a straw in his mouth, fiddled up and down, looking very leisurely.
The little official's footsteps gradually faded away until they could no longer be heard, and the cell became silent again, but if you listen carefully, you can still hear a faint wailing from another room.
The man tilted his head and looked at Ruan Qing.Seeing Ruan Qing's appearance clearly, he was stunned for a moment, as if shocked by the things in front of him, and then quickly returned to normal and spoke.
The teeth were biting the straw, and the voice was a little muffled, "Hey, how did you get in?"
"Stealing." Ruan Qing said something, because the man turned his head, so he could see his face clearly.
This person's hair is not thick and black, but somewhat browned, as if he is malnourished.But looks very heroic.She has wheat-colored skin, two thick eyebrows and sharp eyebrows, flying into the temples, a high nose bridge, and thin lips.A pair of eyes are narrow and long, giving people a very sharp feeling, like a sharp blade that can cut through all evils.
This person has slightly long stubble, which looks quite rough and unrefined, but what is interesting is that the color of the stubble is the same color as the hair, and it is also burnt yellow.
"What about you?" Ruan Qing asked.
The author has something to say:
The outline is finished, but I am too lazy to write ╮(‵▽′)╭
When Lao Wang opened the curtain and was about to go to the kitchen, he saw Chen Ji sitting at the door of the firewood room fishing, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
When Chen Ji saw Lao Wang, he hurriedly got up and called out, "Uncle."
'Come back so soon? Lao Wang thought in his heart, walked into the kitchen, and when he was about to serve the meal, he thought of Ruan Qing who had chopped a pile of firewood yesterday and hadn't eaten yet.
Although he didn't want to keep Ruan Qing for the sake of his relatives, he still couldn't starve to death.
"Where's Cao Qing?" Old Wang said to Chen Ji, "Call someone over for dinner."
Chen Jizheng's hands froze while holding the spoon to scoop soup into the pot.He reacted quickly, and said with an embarrassed smile, "He went out just now, and he will come back later."
Lao Wang seemed to know something, stopped talking, and looked at Chen Ji quietly.
Chen Ji scooped up the soup stiffly, and only heaved a sigh of relief when Lao Wang looked away.
Although the cook had given the route, Ruan Qing was an outsider after all, he stopped and stopped on the road before reaching the outside of the city, dumped the things in the bucket on the cart, and dragged the cart back.

"What?" Ruan Qing turned to look at Old Wang.
Old Wang shook his head, "It's okay, I just want to sigh that you young people are in good health. After a busy day yesterday, you can still get up so early today."
Not long after, Chen Ji also came.As soon as he entered the door, he chirped to Old Wang, "Uncle, have you heard that a person died on the main road."
There haven't been many guests since the door was opened, so Lao Wang didn't know about it.
He was not curious when he heard what Chen Ji said, he just responded casually, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, there are so many people dying in this world, why make such a fuss."
"Uncle, you don't know. I heard that the man died on the street. He was seen by passers-by who went out in the morning. He hurriedly reported it to the government office. There were no clues. Now the government office is also having a headache."
"Yeah." Lao Wang seemed to be used to this kind of thing, without any gossip on his face, he said, "there is still a lot of work in the store, you might as well hurry to work instead of talking here, didn't you see Cao Qing is so busy that you don't rest."
Chen Ji's complexion suddenly turned ugly, he replied wearily, and went to work.
Probably because of Lao Wang's preaching, Chen Ji's work today is exceptionally quick.The kitchen was ready for dinner, and when Lao Wang called him over, he responded, "I ate at home this morning, and the store hasn't been cleaned yet, so I'll go clean it later, Uncle, you go first."
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
Ruan Qing saw Chen Ji's performance today.
Sure enough, something happened in the afternoon.
He was working in the front shop, when Chen Ji rushed out from the backyard and grabbed his wrist.
Ruan Qing glanced at the other party coldly, before she could say anything, she was dragged to the backyard by the other party, aggressively all the way.Ruan Qing looked at the young man who suddenly looked like he had been beaten with blood from behind in surprise.
Pulling him to the woodshed, Chen Ji dragged Ruan Qing into the room and let go, "Now you have no excuses."
Ruan Qing rubbed her sore wrist from being caught, secretly observed the situation in the room, and saw that almost all the shop assistants were there, even Lao Wang was there.
"What did I say?" Ruan Qing was puzzled.
Chen Ji immediately said loudly, "Of course it's because of you stealing things."
"Me? Stealing?"
"Don't you still recognize it?" Chen Ji pointed to a jade pendant in Lao Wang's hand, "I lost something in the guest's room, so it was dug out from your room. You got the stolen goods, do you still want to deny it?"
Ruan Qing took a look and almost laughed.He has served the two masters all these years, and he has seen a lot.The quality of this jade pendant did not catch his eyes at all, why bother to get such a broken stone, it is not worth a lot of money.
"I didn't take it."
"It's not that the one you took is under your quilt, you're clearly evading it." Chen Ji immediately jumped out.
Ruan Qing looked indifferent and ignored the young man. He looked at Old Wang and said calmly, "The firewood room is a place where everyone can come in. Maybe the thieves saw that the situation was wrong and sneaked in me to set up a frame for blame."
"Uncle, don't listen to him, he's just quibbling." Chen Ji hurriedly ignoring Old Wang, "Uncle, if the store can't afford this thief, we should drive him away."
Old Wang squeezed the jade pendant tightly, with a gloomy expression on his face, "This jade pendant was found out from the clothes under your quilt. All the shop assistants have seen it. You can't shirk it now. Someone, hold him down and give it away." official."
Hearing Lao Wang's words, Chen Ji couldn't stop his complacency, but when he heard that he was going to be sent off to the official, his expression froze suddenly.
send off?Why go to the official?This is different from what he thought.He just wanted to drive the man away.He didn't want to send the other party to the government.If this is the case, the matter may become a big mess.
"Uncle." Chen Ji tugged on Old Wang's sleeve and whispered, "I think it's enough to drive him away. You see, if you send him to an official, it will cause a big problem, and our store's reputation will not be good."
Unexpectedly, Lao Wang's attitude was very firm, and he didn't listen to Chen Ji at all, "Why are you still standing there, why don't you tie him up quickly."
"Wait a minute." Ruan Qing raised her hand to stop others from moving, "I'll follow you when I finish speaking."
After speaking, he looked at Lao Wang again, and his momentum changed instantly.It is no longer the innocence and cuteness of a young man when he was a waiter in the store.
He smiled thoughtfully, his eyes were slightly bent but there was no smile at all, and there was a slight chill in his brows, with the calmness and ease with which he could face anything after experiencing wind and rain,
"Treasurer Wang knows that anyone can enter the firewood room at will, and sending me to the government will damage the store's reputation, but he is already impatient to send Qing in. Shopkeeper Wang..."
Ruan Qing uttered a few words slowly, but her eyes were fixed on the other party, as sharp as a falcon, closely watching the other party's every movement, ready to analyze the person thoroughly at any time, "Last night, was it you..."
He saw Lao Wang's pupils trembling slightly.But Lao Wang's face remained the same, "What are you talking about, what was last night, what was the mess? Now that you have got the stolen goods, if you have anything to say, go to the government prison and talk about it."
After finishing speaking, he glanced coldly at the two guys who had been stunned for a long time, "Tie him up and send him to the government."
As if waking up from a dream, she hurriedly tied Ruan Qing with a rope.
Ruan Qing didn't resist, and laughed, "Then I have to thank Shopkeeper Wang for finding a place for Qing to live without working."
When he arrived at the government, the man explained to the officials, and Ruan Qing was pressed by the officials to go to prison.
Ruan Qing of iron, prison of flowing water.
Going to prison seems to be a common occurrence for Ruan Qing.This time she came here not in a death row, but because of a trivial matter of theft. Ruan Qing couldn't help but reflect on the decline in her performance.
The overall death cell is gloomy, while the lighting in ordinary prisons is not bad.Xida Puben is happy because it is in the north, although there is inevitably a lot of humidity in the prison, it is already very good in Ruan Qing.
It was the first time for the little official to meet such an obedient prisoner as Ruan Qing. He walked obediently, didn't talk about tricks, and didn't complain about injustice. He opened the prison door, and the prisoner walked in smoothly, and sat down on the couch , very quiet.
When the clerk locked the door, he couldn't help thinking, if every prisoner was as honest as this boy, how easy their work would be.
The cell was fairly clean, a small room with a small window on the high wall, and the room was quite bright.On the left and right, there are earth couches built together with the walls, which is very humane.Ruan Qing was in a very happy mood.
There was another person in the room, lying on another couch, with his arms pillowed on his pillow, his legs crossed, with a straw in his mouth, fiddled up and down, looking very leisurely.
The little official's footsteps gradually faded away until they could no longer be heard, and the cell became silent again, but if you listen carefully, you can still hear a faint wailing from another room.
The man tilted his head and looked at Ruan Qing.Seeing Ruan Qing's appearance clearly, he was stunned for a moment, as if shocked by the things in front of him, and then quickly returned to normal and spoke.
The teeth were biting the straw, and the voice was a little muffled, "Hey, how did you get in?"
"Stealing." Ruan Qing said something, because the man turned his head, so he could see his face clearly.
This person's hair is not thick and black, but somewhat browned, as if he is malnourished.But looks very heroic.She has wheat-colored skin, two thick eyebrows and sharp eyebrows, flying into the temples, a high nose bridge, and thin lips.A pair of eyes are narrow and long, giving people a very sharp feeling, like a sharp blade that can cut through all evils.
This person has slightly long stubble, which looks quite rough and unrefined, but what is interesting is that the color of the stubble is the same color as the hair, and it is also burnt yellow.
"What about you?" Ruan Qing asked.
