Thief and silly concubine

Chapter 166

"What happened later?" Zhao Li was excited when he heard that, seeing that Chen Chaoming stopped talking, he continued to ask.

Seeing that Zhaoli was so excited, Chen Chaoming couldn't help frowning, but continued: "Later...there were fewer and fewer people in the town, they disappeared during the day, and only came out at night. As long as it was night, they would Go door-to-door and knock on the door until you get the person out. If the person goes out, he will never come back."

After Chen Chaoming said these words, his face was still slightly distorted because of fear.

"Then why weren't you called away by them?" Zhaoli asked in a calm tone regardless of Chen Chaoming's fear.

Chen Chaoming originally wanted to continue talking, but was interrupted by Zhaoli, and couldn't help giving Zhaoli a hard look.

"They were calling from house to house. Naturally, I hid in another house before they came to my house. The place where I hid was naturally the place where the people they had called away lived, so they didn't find me." Chen Chaoming was quite complacent.

Listening to Chen Chaoming's words, Mo Jiuqing frowned slightly. There was indeed no flaw in what this man said, but it didn't mean he was really trustworthy.

"Then you are really smart." Zhaoli said with a sneering smile after hearing Chen Chaoming's call.

Chen Chaoming naturally heard the sarcasm in Zhaoli's words, but he didn't argue with Zhaoli. He still needs their protection now, so how could he fall out with them at this time.

"Mo Shaoxia, we can't figure it out here now. Only after dusk, when the people in the town come out after dusk, can we find a way to do it. It's useless to talk about it here now. Besides, Shaoxia The party must have rushed all night, let's take a rest while there is still time." Chen Chaoming turned to look at Mo Jiuqing, and said very earnestly.

When Mo Jiuqing heard Chen Chaoming's words, he was silent for a while before saying: "In that case, let's go to rest first, it's still early, let's talk about it after dusk."

Mian looked at Mo Jiuqing hesitantly, but in the end he said nothing. Chen Chaoming saw everything in his eyes, smiled smugly, and immediately led the way.

When Mo Jiuqing and his party came again to the inn where Mo Jiuqing met Chen Chaoming just now, Mo Jiuqing said in a low voice: "Isn't there a courtyard behind this inn? I think it's safer there. Let's go there have a rest."

When Chen Chaoming heard Mo Jiuqing's words, he immediately stepped forward in panic and said, "Young Man Mo! This is absolutely impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Seeing Chen Chaoming's excited appearance, Mo Jiuqing raised his eyebrows calmly and said, "Why not? Since the owner of this inn is gone, it's not a bother for us to rest for a while. Naturally, we will leave silver taels when we leave."

Hearing what Mo Jiuqing said, Chen Chaoming said in embarrassment: "I am an old acquaintance with the owner of this inn. No one is allowed to enter the courtyard of his inn. Even I have never entered. I have asked him, He also only said that there is her deceased wife's mourning hall inside, although he is gone, but I still hope Mo Shaoxia, you don't disturb his deceased wife."

Listening to Chen Chaoming's words, Mo Jiuqing nodded clearly.

"It seems that you really care about the innkeeper." This casual sentence made Chen Chaoming instantly vigilant.

"Mo Shaoxia, you are joking. The innkeeper and I are from the same town, and we are old acquaintances. Those who can help me will naturally help. Now that the people in this town are gone, I can only do my best." The last meager strength..." Chen Chaoming said with a sigh, and there was inevitably some heartache in his words.

Mo Jiuqing said softly: "It's not sure what happened now, don't jump to conclusions, since you are from the same town as them, you have to believe that they are still alive and well."

Mo Jiuqing's words were comforting. At least Chen Chaoming's face was not so painful after hearing what Mo Jiuqing said.

But Qingjue Hemian on the side listened to what Mo Jiuqing said, and only sighed in his heart that Jun Yanchen was not by Mo Jiuqing's side at the moment. If he was by Mo Jiuqing's side, Chen Chaoming would definitely be missed by Jun Yanchen.

Even if the situation required it, it was rare for Mo Jiuqing to say so many words, or to comfort others so much.

"Thank you, Shaoxia Mo, for your comfort. You are really a good person. You are willing to help me with such a serious matter, and you are still comforting me now. I am so touched." Chen Chaoming turned his back and seemed to wipe away his tears.

Taking advantage of Chen Chaoming's turning his back, Mo Jiuqing gave Qing Jue and Mian a wink, and when Chen Chaoming turned around, there was no change in his face.

"You're too polite. We Xiyue people just like to help others." Mo Jiuqing said without blushing.

Don't care about lying at all.

"It's better not to live in the downstairs room. If the townspeople come in today, everyone will not be able to guard against it. There are also many rooms coming. I will stay on the second floor and notify everyone as soon as there is any abnormality." Chen Chaoming looked at Mo Jiuqing and nodded, and expressed his opinion.

Mo Jiuqing also agrees with Chen Chaoming's opinion. After all, the first floor is indeed not safe. Although Chen Chaoming told the situation, the situation of the townspeople still needs to be observed. She has already made a preliminary conclusion in her mind. , but there is no substantive evidence yet.

"Mian, the two of you should live in the same room. We can take care of each other if there is something to do." Mo Jiuqing said while looking at Mian.

When Mian heard Mo Jiuqing's words, he couldn't help saying: "What about the young master?"

Mo Jiuqing said softly, "I'll be on guard, you rest. I'll wake you up if something happens."

As soon as Mian heard Mo Jiuqing's words, just about to refute, Qingjue walked up to Mo Jiuqing and said, "Then you should pay more attention to yourself."

Mo Jiuqing nodded and said: "I have made an agreement with Qingjue. I will stay in the morning, and Qingjue will replace me in the afternoon. You all have a good rest."

Seeing what Mo Jiuqing said, he didn't say any more. Indeed, there will be a hard battle tonight, and everyone should rest well, and now that Mo Jiuqing is with Chen Chaoming, he can see it better. Show his flaws.

"Let's go, Shaoxia Mo, I'll take some young heroes upstairs." Chen Chaoming saw that several people had been assigned, so he didn't say much, but smiled very warmly.

The fear and haze of just now were completely gone.

After going up to the second floor, Mo Jiuqing said softly: "Mian, you all go to live in the last few rooms."

When Chen Chaoming heard Mo Jiuqing's words, his body shook, and he immediately shouted: "The last room cannot be used!"

After Chen Chaoming finished speaking, he realized that he was a little too excited. He couldn't help coughing and said: "Because I lived in the last room, and the bedding inside has not been changed. I am afraid that the young heroes will think it is not clean."

When Mo Jiuqing heard Chen Chaoming's words, he said in a calm tone: "You can rest assured about this, we are all rough and reckless people who don't care about these things, anyway, we are only staying for a day."

Hearing what Mo Jiuqing said, Chen Chaoming's heart fell to the bottom. That room was his last refuge, how could he easily give it up to others!
"I think it's better to forget it. I have athlete's foot, and the quilts are stinky, so let's forget it. The other two rooms are very clean." Chen Chaoming said embarrassingly.

His face was a little red, and Xu Shi was embarrassed to say that he had athlete's foot.

In Chen Chaoming's heart, he hoped that Mo Jiuqing would know more about current affairs and stop competing with him, after all, he had already said this.

"Do you have athlete's foot? It just so happens that I still have body odor! Anyway, there are so many rooms, so I can just change the bedding. It's okay, I don't despise you." Zhaoli, who hadn't spoken all this time, looked at Chen Chaoming jokingly Said.

After all, the man moved closer to Chen Chaoming and deliberately raised his arm.

Chen Chaoming was forced to take two steps back by Zhaoli's action. If he refused now, it would really arouse suspicion. Although he was a little unwilling in his heart, Chen Chaoming could only admit it...

"Hehehe... If that's the case, then I really thank this young man for his kindness. I'm going to prepare bedding for a few of you now." Chen Chaoming smiled embarrassingly.

Zhaoli didn't seem to notice Chen Chaoming's displeasure now, so he said with a ruffian smile, "I don't need this brother for things like preparing bedding. We have hands and feet and don't need to bother others. Isn't it, young master?"

Mo Jiuqing has been holding back a smile since hearing Zhaoli's words just now, this Chen Chaoming is very evil, and now it seems that only Zhaoli can control him.

"Yes, we travel the rivers and lakes, and no one else needs to do these things." Mo Jiuqing responded indifferently.

"Those young heroes should go to rest first, and I'll get you something to eat." The smile on Chen Chaoming's face could no longer hold on, but he forced a smile.

Hearing what Chen Chaoming said, Mo Jiuqing nodded and said, "Then thank you very much. After all, this is someone else's home, and we can't mess with things, so Mr. Chen is the one."

Chen Chaoming nodded, gave Zhaoli a hard look, then turned and went downstairs.

Mo Jiuqing brought a few people to the room where she found Chen Chaoming in the first place. Mo Jiuqing said softly, "You guys have a good rest."

Mian nodded, and Zhaoli also said a few words. Mo Jiuqing's fingers moved quickly, and the words written on the table by the tea were quickly dried by the wind, but Mian and Zhaoli could see clearly.

"Listen to the voice and act."

Simple five words, but several people present understood what it meant.

In fact, the rest was just to lie to Chen Chaoming. There must be something wrong in that courtyard. Since Chen Chaoming didn't say anything, they had to investigate it by themselves.

It's just that everyone has to look tired now, so that Chen Chaoming can relax his vigilance.

After Mo Jiuqing said a few more words, he left the room, and Mian and his party allocated a room to rest.

After waiting for a while without Chen Chaoming coming back, when Mo Jiuqing was about to go down to have a look, Chen Chaoming came out from a side room on the first floor, and Mo Jiuqing quickly dodged to hide.
