Chapter 47 Can I still have enough money in my hands?
Xie Li turned over and got out of bed, feeling a little worried about his mother and grandparents Zhao.
After opening the door and coming out, he found that the black shadow had already run east. Xie Li followed him quietly, but after turning a corner, he found that the man in black crossed the courtyard wall of the south side of the guest house and disappeared.
Xie Li had to turn around and return.
Fortunately, there was no sound in the room of my mother and Su Huixue on the east side, and the doors and windows were still closed, which probably had no effect on them.
When checking in, although Xie Li did not feel any danger in this guest house, he was always cautious and still made some small precautions.
After asking the servants of the guesthouse to ask for three bells, they helped them with a string and tied them behind the door. Then, they asked their mother and Su Huixue to tie a thin rope across the door frame before falling asleep, so that as long as someone enters the door, they will find out as soon as they enter.
Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that nothing went wrong with the other two rooms.
Everything is normal here, so this black shadow should be for the rest of the guest house.
Xie Li turned around and was about to go back to the room and then go to bed when he suddenly heard a low cry from the guest room on the west side, vaguely like a woman's voice.
Xie Li thought of the dark shadow just now and thought to himself, could that person do something next door?
After walking a few more steps to the west, I heard a dull "dongdong" sound from the guest room, as if something was smashing. The voice that looked like a woman was muttering constantly. As for the content, Xie Li couldn't hear it at all through the window.
"Ahem, is there something wrong? I'm the tenant next door. I just heard that there's always a sound from you. Is there anything you need to help?"
Xie Li asked tentatively after knocking on the window.
After attaching my ear to the window, the "boom boom" sound suddenly stopped. Then after a while, a crisp female voice came from inside: "No, no, there are mosquitoes in the guest room, I'm killing mosquitoes! If you make you sleep, I won't beat you!"
"Well……"
Xie Li was slightly stunned, thinking that this wasn’t the voice of the irritable girl earlier? I remember that she called herself “Huan Chan”.
Could it be that the black shadow has any grudges with her?
After thinking for a while, Xie Li raised his voice slightly and said, "Oh... Madam Huan is indeed different from ordinary people. She doesn't even need to use lights when slapping mosquitoes. Such ability really makes Xie Li admire him, admire him!"
It’s not because Xie Li deliberately joked, but just to figure out this matter, he had to take this somewhat radical approach.
Sure enough, after Xie Li said this, a more dull sound came from the room, like the sound of his fist hitting the wooden table.
In one breath, the door of the guest room to the west was already open, and Huan Chan rushed out from inside.
The long sword in his hand was unsheathed, and he pointed at Xie Li and whispered: "It's indeed you, the thin monkey. Tell me quickly. Come to my window secretly in the middle of the night, what do you mean?"
Under the soft moonlight, Xie Li looked at Huan Chan in front of him, and saw her hair loose casually, and there were drops of crystal water droplets on the ends of the hair.
The tight clothes on my body have been replaced with a slightly loose and relaxed pleated skirt. The skirt is long and sways gently backwards under the breeze.
Holding a long sword in hand, there was a certain shadow of a hero who was dressed in a decisive manner.
"What? I was scared out again? I don't even dare to say anything now? Didn't I just teased very proudly?"
Xie Li then recovered, and then smiled at her slightly, and then said, "Miss Huan, it's not that Xie Li was interested in coming out of this window. It's because my room is next door. I did come to ask when I heard the noise just now, but I didn't expect that you were living here."
After hearing him say that, Huan Chan seemed to have thought of something, then he freed up his hand to pull Xie Li's sleeve and walked to a relatively far away from the guest room. Then he dared to raise his voice and said, "Tell me quickly, have you entered my room when I was not in the room just now?"
After Xie Li saw her just now, he had already guessed it. Now it seems that as expected, Huan Chan must have been because when she went to the bathroom in the guesthouse just now, the black shadow entered her room while there was no one inside and did something.
But I didn't expect that such a girl with a hot temper and a tactful move would be so particular.
"I didn't say it just now. Before, I didn't know that you were next to me. Besides, after saying goodbye to your brother and sister from the hall, I kept reading books in the room. When I was about to fall asleep, I found a black shadow flashing by, so I just came out to take a look."
"What, a black shadow flashed by just now? Then it must be that man sneaking into my room and stealing!"
Huan Chan took back the sword, and then said angrily again: "Do you know where that person went? Is it the one in this guesthouse?"
"I didn't know this. I just chased him for a while, and after seeing him jump out of the courtyard wall, I didn't chase him again."
Huan Chan, who was standing beside her, also knew that if what Xie Li said was true, then the thief would not be able to find it.
But I couldn't swallow this breath in my heart and poked the sword around a tree in the yard.
Although the account was settled uniformly when checking out, she and her brother were both people with strict tutoring. After the brother lost the coins, the two thought about taking the initiative to discuss with the owner, and never had the idea of eating a tyrant meal.
Although the owner did not agree, fortunately, this annoying guy "fakes" sympathy and gave them fifty dollars. No matter what, at least they can eat and stay tonight, or even take a secret bath in the middle of the night to wash away the dust and sweat stains on their bodies over the past few days.
After all, Huan Chan snatched the fifty dollars from her brother, and said, "I will keep this money. If you lose it again, you will really not be able to return home."
Just...just...
I was still careless and thought that when I took the time to come late at night, everyone was already asleep, and then I went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Then when I went out, I put the fifty coins on the bed casually.
But after I came back, I found that these coins had disappeared.
Xie Li looked at Huan Chan who was poking the tree there, and then asked, "But what important thing has you lost?"
"No...no!"
Just a moment later, Huan Chan stopped the movements in her hand and whispered: "You... are you still in your hands now?"
Although Huan Chan has a very bad impression of Xie Li, he is indeed the only one who can help at present.
Whether this is discovered by her brother Huan Xian or unable to take out the money when checking out, it is not something that Huan Chan can tolerate. If it is so embarrassing in the end, then she will definitely be able to remember this for the rest of her life.
Fortunately, the night is dark now, and although there is some moonlight, no one can see the other party too clearly, so the current "shame" level is still acceptable.
"Uh..." Xie Li was a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't expect that she would still speak softly.
