The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak
Chapter 159 The Thief
Sneaking around and hiding in the house? Wen Jiu secretly wondered if this man was already in her room before she went in last night. Then he should know that he was a ghost hunter.
Disbelief was written all over Ye Ziheng's face: "I think you are already a habitual offender. I'm afraid there won't be many living residents here all year round, and your skills are nothing like those of someone who commits theft."
Wen Jiu pondered for a moment and said, "Did you catch him last night, or did he come out on his own while you were sleeping?"
Zhou Lingran took over the conversation: "My senior brother and I had just laid down, and just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard a rustling under the bed. I lowered my head to check under the bed, and he was also looking at me, which scared me. One jump.”
Ye Ziheng continued: "What on earth are you hiding in my junior sister's room!"
The man looked helpless: "You don't believe me no matter what I say. I never wanted to harm anyone. When I steal things, I must steal from whomever I think is better. It's just that I can't get out even if you change rooms." Go, I’m here now, so I can only steal from you.”
Wen Jiu frowned slightly: "Are you here? Who told you that three people came to this inn and could steal it? Your twin brother? Or the shopkeeper? Or this corpse driver?"
The corpse driver didn't change his expression: "Girl, I'm just passing through here and will leave soon. I have no intention of getting involved in your affairs."
Who doesn’t pass by here?
Wen Jiu smiled: "I was offended. I just wondered why he didn't steal from you, but wanted to steal from me."
The corpse hunter put down his tea cup and stood up: "How do you know he hasn't stolen from me? He even stole the things on the corpse, let alone the things on you, girl?"
The shopkeeper finally spoke from the side, and he sighed heavily: "I pity you two brothers for being lonely and helpless, and taking you two in is considered a good deed. But I didn't expect that you would not change your ways despite repeated admonitions, and it will be the same this time."
Zhou Lingran remembered what the second senior brother said last night. The shopkeeper seemed to like to accumulate virtue.
It turned out that after the three of them arrived here yesterday, the waiter had already handed a letter to his younger brother, the man who was arrested at this moment. When the last corpse driver arrived, he went down the mountain overnight and asked his younger brother to impersonate him. .
The waiter is not as clever and courageous as his younger brother, so he always lets his younger brother impersonate him at this time.
The next day, he came again to replace his brother and sent the stolen things down the mountain.
In this way, if we investigate, no stolen goods will be found in this inn.
The last time they failed was with this veteran.
Only then did the waiter from last night hurried in from outside the house: "We were wrong, shopkeeper. Give us another chance. We really know we were wrong this time."
Seeing that the shopkeeper was not at all soft-hearted, he could only kowtow to Ye Ziheng and his group: "Please, everyone, sir, there are a lot of people. I still have a younger brother waiting to eat, and an old father waiting to see a doctor."
Wen Jiu turned away his eyes. Poor people must be hateful. If he hadn't changed rooms last night, this night would probably have been a shadow for him for a long time.
Zhou Lingran glanced at everyone and found them indifferent, so he put away his soft-hearted thoughts.
In the end, Ye Ziheng spoke: "We don't have any losses, and everyone is fine. It's up to the shopkeeper to deal with it himself. He met us today, so he didn't attack him harshly, and he didn't want to embarrass him. But if he meets someone else in the future, , it’s possible to demolish the store, and whether he can walk out of that room alive is also a question.”
The shopkeeper's face suddenly changed. Ye Ziheng lowered his eyes and continued: "I know that the shopkeeper opened such an inn in this wilderness just to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. Regardless of his positive and negative virtues, it is all a credit. Mo Because of some people and things, all my hard work will be wasted." After all he had to say, Ye Ziheng stood up and said, "You guys should go back to your room, we will set off when the rain stops."
The mountain roads are very muddy these days, and you will be covered in mud if you slip.
Wen Jiu noticed that no part of the waiter's body was clean, and even one of his shoes was missing. He couldn't help but feel a little unbearable, but this was not their first offense. They had already learned a lesson last time but never corrected it. This time It would be in vain to give another chance to such a person.
The shopkeeper waved his hand: "You go, my temple is small and I really can't stand the trouble."
The waiter sat slumped on the ground and stopped kneeling: "Shopkeeper, you can't recruit waiters here, no one wants to come."
The shopkeeper sneered: "There are many beggars on the roadside here who are about to starve to death. As long as I give them some food, they can do better than you, and I will be considered a good person."
It's about accumulating virtue again. Does this shopkeeper want to practice and become an immortal? Why do you think about accumulating virtue in everything?
The three of them returned to the room one after another, and Wen Jiu also went to Zhou Lingran's room.
After seeing what happened last night, she subconsciously looked around, but there was no one around. Then she said with relief, "Brother, I posted a lot of talismans here last night. Didn't he see them all?"
Zhou Mingran pointed to the bottom of the bed: "Probably not. When I saw that person last night, he was hiding here, and the view there was almost completely blocked."
Wen Jiu nodded. No wonder, he would come out to steal things like this. If he knew that they had martial arts skills, he would not act so rashly.
Ye Ziheng opened the window and looked at the patter of rain outside the window. "We have just arrived in southern Xinjiang and it is not going well. It seems that the road is long, so we need to be more careful."
Zhou Lingran walked to Ye Ziheng in a few steps: "Senior brother, don't be discouraged. My cooperation with you yesterday was flawless. I will definitely be able to help you next time."
"Then let's rest here?"
Ye Ziheng stared out the window for a while, wondering what he was thinking.
After a while, I finally heard his voice: "Let's wait until the rain stops before we continue our journey. The mountain roads are muddy and difficult to walk on, so we don't have to be in such a hurry."
Zhou Lingran looked back at the door, and there was no emotion or anger in his voice: "It seems that I have to stay with this corpse for another night. I have seen a lot of ghosts, and I am not used to seeing corpses."
Wen Jiu pursed his lips, who could say otherwise. She suddenly thought of Lu Xu and wondered how they were doing. She should be able to see him after crossing the mountain.
Ye Ziheng deliberately changed the subject: "I wonder what food is available in this inn. Is there anything you want to eat?"
Zhou Xingran got excited when he talked about eating, and stood up almost immediately: "I'll go to the kitchen and have a look. There shouldn't be anything to order here. If I see anything, I'll come back and tell my senior brothers and sisters."
As soon as he finished speaking, not even a person or shadow could be seen.
