accomplice

Li Xi asked this, Zuo Ji's eyes turned guilty, he was embarrassed, he just wanted to say no, but was bullied by Li Xi and blocked him by the table.

Zuo Ji hit the table behind him.

He was frightened, afraid of knocking down the candlestick, so he quickly helped it.

At the end, his eyes wandered, he was quite uncomfortable, and asked Li Xi: "What do you want to do?"

"Do you like him?"

Li Xi was obsessed with this question.

But Zuo Ji didn't answer, but wanted to break free and walk away, but failed.

"What do you want?" Zuo Ji was flustered and asked again.

Seeing Li Xi's eyes, bottomless, he was flustered and nervous: "Don't act recklessly."

He wrapped his arms around his waist and directly pulled him into his arms. Just as Li Xi came closer, the door was suddenly pushed open. When the people who came in saw the two of them like this, they were stunned.

Li Xi was also surprised, Zuo Ji pushed him away while he was dazed.

The visitor is Li Xi's servant.

The matter was urgent, and he had to report it.

I went to their room just now and didn't see anyone. I ran here to try my luck, but I didn't expect that I ruined my master's good deed.

With timidity and embarrassment all over his face, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Third Master, the shopkeeper has made a fuss and said he wants to drive us away."

Zuo Ji was surprised, and frowned: "Why?"

"For her."

After the servant finished speaking, he glanced at the wounded man on the bed.

Zuo Jidun understood.

Li Xi glanced at the wounded and said, "Got it."

The servant withdrew.

Zuo Ji was afraid that Li Xi would pester him again, so he hurriedly slipped out too. Li Xi had nothing to do with him, so he had to follow him out.

In Bai Mayan's room, the shopkeeper pestered Bai Mayan and yelled ferociously.

Bai Mayan was a little annoyed, and wanted to argue with him, but was stopped by Old Man Huang with a hint of coughing.

He looked back at Old Man Huang, and Old Man Huang signaled him not to be irritable. Kneeling in fright.

"It's so late at night..." Zuo Ji was upset: "You are very noisy, what are you yelling about?"

"Oh, oh, shouldn't I be arguing? Can't I be arguing? Tell me, are you carrying that half-dead man into my store out of intention to make things difficult for me?" The shopkeeper broke free from his restraints, excited : "If she dies here, will anyone dare to live in my room in the future? If it gets out, we won't even have to do business!"

"Then what do you want?" Zuo Ji bypassed him and sat down at the table.

"Of course it's moving. Otherwise..." He leaned closer, rubbed his index finger and thumb against Zuo Ji, and said, "What's wrong?"

Zuo Ji laughed.

It turned out to be the case.

"We have already paid the rent."

The shopkeeper's face sank, and he raised his eyebrows: "I don't care! You must go, or I will be rude to you!"

After finishing speaking, he shrugged his eyebrows triumphantly, and a strong and solid guy stood out with his arms folded around his chest, very mighty.

Zuo Ji sneered.

He took the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. Just as he was about to drink it, the shopkeeper suddenly knelt down.

Everyone was taken aback.

The man didn't know what happened, so he hurried to help him.

But people couldn't help him, and soon he fell headlong with a muffled sound. The waiter was panicked and anxious, and yelled at the shopkeeper. Finally, he ran out to call for someone.

This person suddenly behaved like this, Bai Mayan thought about it, and said to Zuo Ji, "Are you plotting against him?"

"No." Zuo Ji didn't admit it, and said, "It's obviously his own sudden illness."

On the side, Li Xi, who had never made a sound from the beginning to the end, smiled softly.

Knowing the reason, he didn't intend to tell the truth, but said to old man Huang: "It's getting late, please rest early. We will stay here for a day tomorrow, and the servants will go to the market to replenish dry food and water. If you need anything, you can tell them together, and the day after tomorrow, we will set off early in the morning."

"Okay." Old Man Huang nodded.

Bai Mayan thanked him with his hand, Li Xi politely smiled back and took Zuo Ji away.

As soon as these people left, Bai Mayan closed the door, turned around and said to Old Man Huang, "This man is extremely cunning."

Uncle Huang laughed when he heard it, and said, "It's very cunning."

Just now, the shopkeeper knew at a glance that he had been poisoned by a strong anesthetic, which was enough for him to sleep all night.

"Anyway, it's none of our business, let's leave it alone."

"Yes."

Bai Mayan received the order, saw that he was going to sleep, went forward, helped him, and covered him with the quilt.

Zuo Ji played tricks on the shopkeeper, and he was quite amused at first.

But when he returned to the room, Li Xi closed the door like this, and he became uneasy.

"It's not that I don't have money, why do we need to sleep in the same room?" Zuo Ji deliberately distanced the two of them, complaining quite a bit.

Li Xi locked the door, turned around, saw how far away he was, and said, "There are two beds here, the place is spacious and clean, and it's not bad to sleep in one."

That's right.

After all, when you are away from home, you can sleep in a room with acquaintances, so that you can take care of them and it is safer.

Since Li Xi said that one bed per person, Zuo Ji felt that he had nothing to complain about.

He shrugged, walked directly to the bed, sat on it, and just as he pulled the quilt, Li Xi also sat on his bed.

"What are you doing?" Zuo Ji asked him: "Didn't it be agreed that one person would share one bed? Don't bother me tonight."

"I was thinking, you are afraid of the dark."

"Is there?" Zuo Ji thought for a moment and said, "But I'm more afraid of you."

This made Li Xi amused.

"you sure?"

"Of course!"

Zuo Ji spoke with certainty, frowned, and swiped his hand out to drive Li Xi away.

Li Xi didn't force him, smiled lightly, stood up confidently, and blew out all the candlesticks in the room.

This time, it was pitch black.

When the eyes suddenly fell into darkness, Zuo Ji really became uneasy.

He pulled the quilt and lay down.

After a long time, the surroundings were quiet, and he was suddenly not used to it.

After tossing and turning, the bed was too wide, and he began to think wildly.

Thinking about what happened before, thinking about Mo Jia, Zhong Sheng, Zuo Shicheng and Wang Bo, he suddenly heard a slight movement, couldn't help being startled, and froze.

what sound? !

"Li Xi?" He called out.

But no response.

Why did the sound just now sound like someone scraping the door bolt with a knife or something?

This is not a black shop, is it?

He tensed up and sat up.

"Li Xi?" He whispered again.

Still no response.

He tiptoed up.

Listening carefully, there was no more sound, but he didn't want to sleep alone, so he hurriedly touched Li Xi's bed.

Li Xi had already vacated his seat, waiting for him.

As soon as he lay down on it, he grabbed Li Xi's quilt.

Li Xi pulled him casually, leaned on him, and smiled softly in the dark.
