114 Dangerous Approaching
Aunt Zhang thinks this is also very good, and she can directly hand out the tiles from the house tomorrow.

Soon into the city, with the help of Lin Dahe and Aunt Zhang, Tiles quickly moved into the house.

A few pennies for hard work were given to the coachman, which was counted as additional expenses.

Seeing that it was about to rain, Hua Xiaoqiao looked at the sky and sighed: "Ms. Zhang and Brother Dahe have worked hard today. I will come back when the rain stops. I will live in the post not far away."

Leaving the alley, seeing that it was getting late, I still ate a bowl of chaos at the old man's place, and thanked him for his help, as well as Sumei's help today.

Then he hurried back to the station.

The sky is gradually getting darker. I have been running outside for the past two days, and I have never stayed in the station with peace of mind. But I also know that the station is the busiest at this time, but I didn't expect to feel something wrong inside the station as soon as I entered the station.

There were three or four tables of people eating in the hall, but what was unusual was that they were all men, and all of them lowered their heads as if they were discussing something.

And the shopkeeper has been standing behind the counter with his head down, because he can't see his expression clearly with his head down.

The waiter stood awkwardly by the counter and walked away, neither staying nor staying.

When she entered the door, all the people in the hall looked back at her with strange eyes.

Suddenly, a table of people in the corner attracted her attention, especially the middle-aged man in brocade clothes near the wall.

She will never forget the look in the man's eyes, this kind of look was only seen at Hulukou a few days ago, it was the man pretending to be the head of the Escort Bureau and the bandit leader of Yunxiu Mountain.

Why is he here?I was terrified in my heart, for fear of showing a little bit of my flaws.

After a short time, he stabilized his mind. The bandit leader will definitely not remember her, because he just glanced at her when she was in the carriage.

What's more, the two looked at each other just now, and he didn't seem to recognize her.

Everyone in this room is wrong, maybe they are all accomplices, she thought about it and decided to pretend that she didn't know anything.

"Brother cook me a bowl of noodles, I'm so hungry."

After speaking, she went straight to the nearest table and sat down, not minding the robbers behind her.

As soon as Hua Xiaoqiao sat down, none of those people finally looked at her.

Her eyes were always squinting at the waiter, who gave her a cryptic wink, and then looked at the people at the nearest table.

Seeing that the people on the table were silent, he said quickly: "Girl, our noodles are sold out, if you want to eat, come back another day." After finishing speaking, she glanced at her anxiously.

Hua Xiaoqiao knew that this was giving her a chance to escape.

It's just that if she pretended to be eager and left, it would definitely arouse others' suspicion, so she stood up with some dissatisfaction: "Your family is also true, why don't you prepare more, I came here from home just to eat a bowl of noodles , You actually said that there is no more, there is still an appointment tomorrow, no, I will come tomorrow, you should be more prepared, if there is no me, you will not come in the future."

After speaking, he turned his head and glanced outside: "It's going to rain soon, does the shopkeeper have an umbrella, and I'll return it to you when I come over to eat noodles tomorrow night.

The shopkeeper only raised his head at this time, and gave Hua Xiaoqiao a look, obviously they understood, Hua Xiaoqiao understood what they meant.

"If you have an umbrella, wait and I'll get it for you." The shopkeeper squatted down and found an oiled paper umbrella from the counter, and handed it to Hua Xiaoqiao.

Hua Xiaoqiao blinked vigorously at the shopkeeper, expressing that she already knew.

The shopkeeper let out a sigh of relief.

"The shopkeeper, I'll deliver it to you tomorrow, and I have to prepare some more noodles." After speaking, he took the umbrella and was about to go out.

The bandit leader sitting in the corner winked at the men at the other table, and one of them stood up and stood in front of Hua Xiaoqiao.

The sudden change made Hua Xiaoqiao tremble with fear, her heart was beating extremely fast, and she kept thinking whether she had been exposed.

But she still calmed down and raised her head to look at the young man who blocked her with some puzzlement: "Brother, what do you want?"

The man looked at Hua Xiaoqiao carefully, and smiled: "Girl, we are from other places, some don't know the situation here, can you tell us, where is the best place to find something to do here?"

Hua Xiaoqiao knew that this man suspected that she was not a local and was testing her.

Do you really doubt her?
The shopkeeper behind the counter and the waiter were extremely nervous, they were afraid that these people would harm Hua Xiaoqiao and hurt the innocent Hua Xiaoqiao.

Hua Xiaoqiao smiled slightly, thinking of what Aunt Zhang said today, she said confidently: "What kind of work are you going to choose? It's okay if you have a skill. If you don't have a skill, you can go to the dock outside the city. Over there, they have been recruiting staff all the time. They have food at noon every day, and the price depends on how you negotiate with the bosses. My father works on the pier. If you really want to find a job Do it, I can ask my dad to introduce it to you."

After speaking, she smiled kindly at the man who blocked her.

The man relaxed his vigilance, looked back, and moved away: "Little girl, thank you for your kindness, let's go and see for ourselves tomorrow."

Hua Xiaoqiao smiled and nodded: "If you can't find someone to introduce you to, you can find my father. My father's name is Qiao Dahai."

Of course, she made up the name randomly, she is not familiar with everything here, she knows that she doesn't know these people, let alone know them.

The man pretended to be grateful and smiled at Hua Xiaoqiao.

It happened to be raining heavily outside, and the bean-sized raindrops fell one by one, Hua Xiaoqiao was a little anxious: "Oh, it's really raining heavily. If the elder brother has nothing to do, I will leave first. It will only be a little later when it gets bigger." I'm afraid the umbrella is useless."

As she spoke, she didn't care whether the man was blocking the front or not, she nodded slightly to avoid the man, went to the door, opened the umbrella, and rushed directly into the rain curtain.

Now she naturally dare not go directly to the Prince Jin's Mansion, which is in the east of the city, and she has to pretend that she lives in the west of the city, so she ran directly to the west of the city without hesitation.

The man who blocked Hua Xiaoqiao just now walked to the door and looked at Hua Xiaoqiao's receding back, turned around and said to the escort: "Brother, that girl is fine, she is heading west of the city."

"It's fine if there is no problem. We will leave here after tonight, but we have to do something before we leave." After speaking, he gave the shopkeeper a meaningful look, which directly made the shopkeeper tremble with fright. I didn't have the guts to say a word of begging for mercy.
