Chapter 193 You Sit Over There
Xia Zhaoyi smiled and looked into his eyes: "How much did you pay?"

The little beggar stretched out his finger and looked at her uncomfortably: "Wu Wen, what do you think..."

Xia Zhaoyi acted like a magic trick, and there were five extra copper coins in his hand: "Here."

The little beggar looked at the copper plate on her palm, and then raised his eyes to look at her: "You just gave it to me so readily? Don't you scold me?"

"What's the funny news you mentioned?" Xia Zhaoyi asked with a smile.

The little beggar licked his lower lip, took away the copper plate, looked around, and said in a low voice, "A few days ago, there was a rumor in the capital that the dead men would go to the streets to kill people, have you ever heard of it?"

Xia Zhaoyi nodded: "Yes."

"We are very afraid of this matter. After all, we don't even have a place to hide. So for a while, a few of us went to inquire to see if there was such a thing."

"and then?"

The little beggar looked around again, and said: "I didn't see the one with the knife. Now the control is strict, but I really saw a lot of tall and big people. The kind of guy who looks like a practicing family, with a bowl in his arm Big, actually it’s nothing, but the strange thing is, the few I saw the day before yesterday were obviously known to each other, but they pretended not to know each other.”

"and then."

"I felt that something was wrong. I quietly followed and looked, and then I saw a few storytellers."

"Mr. Storyteller?"

"Yes," the little beggar nodded, "Those storytellers were very anxious. After they entered the house, after a long time, only four came out, and there were two more. One of them was the old man of Hu Fangzhai. Yesterday I couldn't help myself, so I went to the door of Hu Fangzhai to inquire, and it turned out that the old man was sick and wouldn't be here for a while, but I suspected," the little beggar raised his hand and gestured a knife under his neck, "Old man Cheng might have been killed. Woolen cloth."

After speaking, he looked at the little boy in front of him.

She is thinking about something.

After being silent for a while, Xia Zhaoyi said, "You can't tell others about this."

"I won't tell," said the little beggar, "you can't tell others, I'm afraid if we find out, we'll both have to finish the game."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "I asked you first, I asked if you could change places, but you haven't answered yet."

"No way," the little beggar frowned, "We are driven away wherever we go. Only kind-hearted people can give us a bite to eat. Some say they want to drive us out of the city, but Uncle Jiu said that we are driven away. There is only one way out of the city, and that is to die in the barren mountains. At that time, we will be picked up by wolves, who will tear us into pieces, and then..."

"Don't scare yourself." Xia Zhaoyi interrupted him.

The little beggar nodded and said, "By the way, you asked me if I could change places. What is this for?"

"It's okay," Xia Zhaoyi said, "You find a place where you can settle down first, life is more important than anything else."

"it is good."

Xia Zhaoyi turned and left.

The little beggar touched the copper plate in his hand, happy that he had made another small fortune.

It didn't rain after all, but the wind suddenly picked up and it was very cold.

The storyteller took a photo with his ruler, and in the small lobby, many people listened with their chins resting on their hands.

Xia Zhaoyi looked at Yu Mansion outside. On the high plaque, the word Yu Mansion was very brand new.

The young ladies of Yu's family came back from going out, played and laughed after getting off the sedan chair, and after they entered, the door was quiet again.

At this time, some movement came from the door of the lobby.

Xia Zhaoyi didn't want to talk about it at first, but when she heard a female voice, she turned her head away.

Lin Qingfeng came in with a maid, smiled and talked to the waiter, and asked him to bring some good wine and food.

The little maid raised her eyes and looked around in the lobby, her eyes fell on Xia Zhaoyi's side, she walked up and said, "Child."

Xia Zhaoyi looked at her, waiting for her to speak.

"Give us this seat, okay?" The little maid actually didn't have much body like Big Ah Li, but said as if coaxing a child, "Are you waiting for someone? Do you want to go to the next table?"

"Why don't you go to the next table?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.

This is a lively area, but there are not many people on the street and in the lobby, and it is empty.

The little maid smiled and said, "Well, my sister has a piece of candy here, can you go to the next door?"

Saying that, he put down the sugar in his hand, and reached out to take the plate in front of Xia Zhaoyi.

Xia Zhaoyi only ordered three things, a pot of tea, a plate of fried snails, and a plate of honey bean cake.

The little maid picked it up and let it go to the next door, then moved away quickly, clapped her hands, and said, "You go too."

Xia Zhaoyi looked at Lin Qingfeng who was walking over there, and said, "Is it because I'm too small that you think I'm easy to bully, or is my clothes too plain?"

Lin Qingfeng was about to sit down when she heard the words and looked at her: "What did you say?"

"Bring back my things." Xia Zhaoyi looked at the little maid, "Arrange them as they were originally."

"Hey!" The little girl frowned, "Do you know who you are talking to, it's just asking you to give up your seat, why are you so reluctant? Believe it or not, you will be kicked out immediately?"

"There is a warehouse on Chenbai Road in the west of the city, and there are hundreds of boxes of medicinal materials piled up in it. If you don't hurry up, when are you going to stock up?" Xia Zhaoyi looked at Lin Qingfeng and said lightly.

Lin Qingfeng turned pale, looked at her and said, "Who are you? Where did you know?"

"Bring back my things." Xia Zhaoyi said this to the little maid again.

The little maid stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to go or not.

Lin Qingfeng stepped forward and said in a low voice, "I ask you, who are you? Where did you know?"

"Bring it back." Xia Zhaoyi still said to the little maid.

Lin Qingfeng felt anxious, and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Xia Zhaoyi's neck.

But when she heard the crisp sound of "Zeng", and then saw a bright light flashing in front of her eyes, she hurriedly withdrew her hand, and there was still a sharp pain in her right forearm.

The sharp knife directly cut through her clothes, scratched her flesh, blood gushed out and penetrated the sleeves.

"Miss." The little maid called hurriedly.

Xia Zhaoyi put the dagger back into the scabbard, put it on the table, and looked at the little maid: "Bring me back my food."

The waiter who came over there with side dishes saw such a scene, and was stunned over there, neither entering nor retreating.

"Who the hell are you!" Lin Qingfeng's voice was extremely low, almost popping out from between his teeth, "I see you are a child, and I don't want to get serious with you, if you are still like this, I will not be polite, you Are you afraid that your parents will die on the street tomorrow?"

"Aren't you willing to take it?" Xia Zhaoyi ignored her and looked at the little maid.

Lin Qingfeng was in a hurry, but seeing the dagger in her hand, he didn't dare to go forward.

She covered the wound with one hand, but the blood still seeped into her clothes and flowed down between her fingers.
