I saw that she was still in shock and it would probably take some time for her to recover. Time was running out and if we didn't leave now, we didn't know what tricks those two thieves downstairs would play next. So I patted her hands and went back to my room to pack up.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xiaowei carrying a small bag and holding a large bag in her hand, trying to walk out. I quickly took it and said, "Xiaowei, have you packed everything? Thank you for your hard work!"

Xiao Wei raised her two pigtails and smiled, "It's just the best I can do! Is Miss Senying okay?"

I glanced at the bed and the table and saw that nothing was left behind, so I put on my big bag, took her hand and walked out: "She's a little scared. But it's normal. She's never been far away, so it's inevitable that there are things she hasn't seen before. She'll get used to it in the future, so don't worry."

Xiao Wei smiled and walked out of the door with me: "You speak as if you have been far away and have seen a lot!"

I thought to myself, no way, girl, I have flown on planes and traveled far away, I have read a lot of books and watched so many movies and TV series, so of course I have seen a lot of them.

Not long after I left the house, I ran into Ruiyang in the corridor. He saw me carrying a large bag and took it from me with great insight. He then asked casually, "Miss, have you seen your friend Xiaohui? I haven't seen him this morning or this evening."

I asked curiously, "Didn't Xiao Hui go with Brother Lu Ming to look after the luggage?"

Ruiyang scratched his head and said, "That's strange! Yesterday he and Brother Luming went back to their rooms to sleep first. Before I finished the first half of the night, Brother Luming came and said it was my turn to go back and sleep. I didn't see him following me when he came! In the morning, I went to bring Brother Luming food, and he said he thought he was sleeping in his room. I didn't see him in the second half of the night either."

I walked Xiao Wei to Rui Yang's side and entered his room. There was a masculine smell in the room, and the bedding was messy.

I walked around the table, but didn't see Xiao Hui. I walked to the window and opened it. There were no footprints on the windowsill outside, so he shouldn't have been kidnapped by thieves. I closed the window again and called softly to the beam, "Xiao Hui? Are you there? If you are, come out!"

There was no response for a long while, and his black eyes did not appear on the beam.

I walked to the bed, lifted the pillow and quilt, and saw that Xiao Hui had turned into a big gray mouse, curled up at the end of the bed and sleeping soundly, with his belly bulging. It was probably because he inhaled the incense when he was sleeping in his original form. The dosage was just right for humans, but it might be too much for his small size, so he is still unconscious. Ruiyang and his friends came and went at night, and probably covered it with the quilt. I was in a hurry when I got up in the morning and didn't see it.

I took out a handkerchief, wrapped it up, held it in my palm and walked out, and said to Ruiyang, "Here, cover it under the quilt at the end of the bed!" Ruiyang curled his lips and said, "He is such a sleepyhead!"

I smiled without saying anything, put on my hat and took them downstairs.

The two thieves downstairs haven't left yet. They are drinking glass after glass of wine. I don't look at them and my eyes drift towards the door.

Crossing the front yard, I saw that the carriage had been parked at the door. Tu Shanjing and Yu Xin were still standing at the counter, as if waiting for us.

I asked Ruiyang to take Xiaowei to the car first, and I walked over to the front. I heard Yu Xin sighing, "Oh, my old arms and legs are useless! I have been traveling for several days, and I drank two taels of wine yesterday. I overslept! When I woke up, my waist and legs hurt!"

Tu Shanjing raised the corners of her mouth under the veil, and said with a half-smile and half-cheer: "We have to go! If you are two days late, the money will be gone, and I wonder if you will still feel pain!"

Yu Xin said with a sad face: "Sir, by then, I will have a headache!"

Tu Shanjing patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, grandma will help us when we return to our hometown!"

Yu Xin took the bag of pancakes handed over by the waiter and continued to look worried: "If the old lady helped you, I might get beaten! I let such a good business go to waste. I feel so ashamed of her!"

Tu Shanjing saw me approaching, looked at me, and said, "Natural disasters are unpredictable, and it's not your fault. It's my fault that I only know how to study and know nothing about business. Otherwise, if you led me to do business, I could help you and I wouldn't have fallen to this point."

I couldn't help but laugh. They said they knew nothing about business. When it comes to business, no one dares to claim to be the first in this wilderness except Tu Shanjing. Now they are singing the same tune. I saw the two thieves looking at us, so I said to them with a smile: "Sir, don't blame yourself. Business is a profound subject! You can't just learn it casually! You should take me back to my hometown, be a teacher honestly, and save money to open a snack shop for me!"

Tu Shanjing bowed slightly and said, "My lady, what you said is very true. It is also a kind of wisdom not to covet things that are not yours. Let's go now. Shall I take you to enjoy the maple leaves?"

I nodded and said, "I'll go wherever the master says to go, and everything I see is good." Then I followed him out.

The rough voice of Xing Lao San came from behind: "What's the point of following him and being a poor teacher's wife?! He is not good enough!"

Tu Shanjing paused as he was about to step out, then he turned around and shouted at Xing Lao San: "How do you know?!"

Yu Xin and I were both stunned. Then I pushed his back with a smile and said, "Alright, alright, you can do it, you can do it, you are the best! Don't bother with them. If they start fighting, you won't be able to escape."

Tu Shanjing threw his sleeves and strode out. Yu Xin, holding the pancake, followed closely behind him without daring to breathe. I thought about how he, who was always mild-tempered, would be annoyed by such a question, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He turned around and pointed his finger at my forehead: "Don't laugh!"

I pursed my lips and hummed twice, then stole a glance at him. I saw that his face was flushed and he was looking at me in reproach. His eyes were particularly bright, and could be seen even through the gauze.

Maybe it was because I looked funny while lowering my head and stealing glances at him, so he smiled after a while and tapped my forehead gently: "I really admire you! You came up with such a weird excuse! Let's go!"

I pursed my lips and followed him happily to the carriage, thinking to myself, you tell me if it's convincing or not, this is the most convincing reason for the two thieves, okay?

Yu Xin helped him get into the car, and he helped me. Xiao Wei and Sen Ying were sharing jujube flower cakes in the car. When they saw us getting in, they wiped their mouths and bowed. After we were all seated in the car, Yu Xin whipped the whip and set off.

Not long after they set off, Tu Shanjing ordered, "Yu Xin, I want to buy six cushions. If you pass by a market or a store, remember to get off the car and buy some."

Yu Xin responded "OK!" outside the car. I moved my butt and looked at Tu Shanjing gratefully.
