That night, some people were worried, some couldn't sleep all night, some were too excited to fall asleep, and of course, some people slept harder than pigs.
"Big mouth! Big mouth! Big mouth!" Xiucai helplessly pushed Dazui on the kang bed.
It was agreed that each person would have an hour, but it had already been an hour and a half, and he still hadn't seen Big Mouth come out to change shifts with him.
When he came in, he discovered that Dazui was sleeping like a dead pig, and no matter how much he screamed, he couldn't wake him up.
On the contrary, Lao Bai in the other bed had been awakened by the scholar's voice.
Due to his previous job, Lao Bai's sleep was very light. In addition, after learning Xiao Guo's identity today, he was always a little scared, so he couldn't sleep well no matter how hard he slept.
Seeing the two scholars like this, Lao Bai shook his head helplessly. "Forget it, Xiucai, come sleep here with me."
"But, do we still need someone to keep vigil?" Hearing Lao Bai's words, Xiucai looked hesitant. It was good for him, a weak scholar, to survive until now.
"It's okay, I'll help you guard it." Lao Bai said with a smile.
After saying that, Lao Bai stood up.
He had no intention of sleeping after being woken up, and with so many things happening today, he really couldn't sleep well until everything was dealt with.
He was afraid that the next moment he woke up, he would be surrounded by a bunch of police officers.
I saw Lao Bai stretching and walked out of the door.
"Thank you, Lao Bai!" The scholar was not polite. He was so cold that he quickly got into his bed without even bothering to take off his clothes.
And because Lao Bai had just been lying down, the bed was still warm, and the scholar instantly felt that he had come from hell to heaven.
At this time, it was the third watch of the night. Although there was no sunlight, the moonlight was as bright as day.
Seeing such beautiful scenery, even Lao Bai couldn't help but sigh.
Suddenly, Lao Bai accidentally caught a glimpse of the lights in Xiaobei's room still shining.
Lao Bai was curious to see if Xiao Guo and the others were still stunned, so he quickly and quietly approached and looked at the crack in the door that was not closed tightly.
But this sight made Lao Bai almost scream in fright.
Seeing no one in the room, neither Xiao Guo nor Xiao Qing was in the room. Lao Bai was shocked and thought to himself.
'Oops, I was fooled! '
When I think that the other party is Guo Juxia's daughter, when I call home, the four great gods will come to kill her. It is even possible that Guo Juxia will kill herself.
Thinking of this, Lao Bai's calves became weak.
But Lao Bai is Lao Jianghu after all. He is not sure whether the other party has gone far or is he still around?
So I quickly pretended to be calm and prepared to inform the shopkeeper first.
Just at this time, Lao Bai bumped into Xiao Liu who came in to call Xiucai and Dazui.
"Hey, Brother Bai, you haven't slept yet?" Xiao Liu asked in surprise as he saw Lao Bai running towards him.
Lao Bai took Xiao Liu's hand, pulled it aside and whispered. "Shh! Oh no, Xiao Liu, those two thieves ran away."
Seeing Lao Bai's panic, Xiao Liu couldn't help but feel a little funny. Lao Bai's martial arts was quite high, but how could he be so courageous? Xiao Liu quickly comforted him.
"Don't worry, Brother Bai, they didn't run away. One of them is chatting with shopkeeper Tong on the roof, and the other is resting in the guest room."
"These two are our children, so they are probably not used to sleeping in such a small bed. But that's right. Well, it seems that whoever marries them in the future will be in trouble." Xiao Liu smiled and shook his head.
"Oh! So that's it." Hearing Xiao Liu's explanation, Lao Bai instantly felt relieved.
'As long as people don't run away, that's fine. '
"Okay, Brother Bai, you can rest peacefully. In fact, those two girls are not bad people, but they are too arbitrary in doing things, and they take action indiscriminately without investigating the matter clearly, so they did bad things with good intentions. There will be a lot of trouble tomorrow." What about you?" Xiao Liu said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's nothing. But Xiao Liu, you seem to be particularly interested in these two girls, are you..." Lao Bai looked at Xiao Liu with a teasing expression.
Xiao Liu smiled when he saw Lao Bai's teasing look. He couldn't say that he had a good impression of him because he had watched the TV series.
Xiao Liu could only follow what Lao Bai said.
"Maybe, but I still say the same thing, whoever marries them will be in trouble."
As he said this, Xiao Liu couldn't help but recall the scene in Xiao Guo's mind where after Xiucai and Xiao Guo got married, Xiao Guo would crowd in to serve him even if they didn't agree, and he quickly shook his head.
"I prefer someone with a docile personality anyway. I can't tolerate a young lady like this."
Lao Bai smiled when he heard Xiao Liu's words and was about to continue discussing with Xiao Liu, but he suddenly shouted in shock.
"who!"
I saw Lao Bai looking sharply behind the door curtain. Seeing that the person behind the door curtain was discovered, he didn't hide. He just lifted the door curtain and walked out.
Only then did Xiao Liu and Lao Bai see clearly who was coming. It turned out to be Xiao Qing.
"Two grown men, staying up in the middle of the night, what kind of dirty things are they talking about here?" Xiao Qing said angrily.
"That's better than a woman who comes and eavesdrops on two men in the middle of the night when she has nothing to do!" When it comes to insulting people, Lao Bai has never been afraid of anyone, except the shopkeeper.
"You!" Xiao Qing blushed a little when Lao Bai said that.
"Okay, okay, you two. Since there is a misunderstanding between us, there is no need for us to be so angry."
"And Miss Xiaoqing, I hope you can distinguish right from wrong. We are helping you deal with the aftermath now. It's okay if you don't thank us. There's no need to speak so rashly, right? I think Guo Juxia's family will not even do this. You can’t even tell the difference between good and bad, right?”
Xiao Liu intervened, but his words were obviously biased towards Lao Bai's side.
And after listening to Xiaoliu's words, Xiaoqing was so angry that she had nothing to say, so she could only turn around and go back to her room angrily.
In fact, she originally wanted to say thank you to Xiao Liu, but she didn't want to overhear Xiao Liu's comments about them.
What is the unhappiness to enjoy? Whoever marries them will be in trouble, right? Who is this? Fortunately, she thought the other party was a good person.
Xiao Liu watched Xiao Qing throw the curtain away in anger, and couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to discuss martial arts with Lao Bai, but now everything was ruined.
"Okay, Brother Bai, let's take a rest. By the way, where are Da Zui and the others?" Xiao Liu then remembered what he was here for.
"Dazui fell asleep to death. Xiu Cai told him not to wake up, but he woke me up, so I let Xiu Cai sleep on my bed while I went on duty for him." Lao Bai explained with a smile.
"Oh!" Xiao Liu nodded to show that he understood, but he still asked with concern. "But is this okay? Brother Bai, you have tomorrow."
"It's okay, I'm used to it. I used to..." The old man stopped talking in the middle of his sentence.
Xiao Liu looked at Lao Bai curiously.
"I used to keep vigil alone at night." Lao Bai quickly returned to his conversation with a smile.
"Oh, in that case, I'll go to bed first. After all, I have to meet Lou Zhixian tomorrow. Brother Bai, I'll see you tomorrow." Seeing this, Xiao Liu knew it was not appropriate to talk any more.
"See you tomorrow!" Lao Bai also waved his hand, and at the same time he breathed a secret sigh of relief.
I have to say, I was really scared to death just now, and he almost spilled the beans.
But this also reminded him that although Xiao Liu was reliable and smart, he had to be more careful because of this.
Because Xiao Liu is an official and he is a thief. The smarter Xiao Liu is, the more careful he must be on guard.
Xiaoliu, who returned to the room at this time, also regretted it to death.
He had nothing to do and couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. He went out for a walk. The relationship bridge that was finally built was about to go straight to the other side, and now half of it collapsed in an instant.
And now it seems that not to mention that he wants to learn martial arts from Lao Bai, it is estimated that Lao Bai will always be on guard against him in the future. If he wants to learn martial arts, he can either find Xiao Guo or wait for Wushuang.
And looking for Xiao Guo?
Xiaoliu shook her head instantly. She didn't even understand it herself. If she tried to teach him, she would have to take her to the ditch.
It seems that we can only wait for Wushuang!
Xiaoliu let out a long sigh and fell asleep. This night was really unpredictable!
On the roof, Xiao Guo and the shopkeeper were also chatting happily. Xiao Guo, who had just entered the world, was originally confused.
As a result, when I met this confidant sister of the shopkeeper, I was fooled instantly, oh no, I was enlightened and was stunned for a while.
. . . . . .
In the early morning of the next day, the rooster had just crowed, and Xing Baotou rushed to Tongfu Inn. However, as soon as he arrived at the door of Tongfu Inn, he was shocked and turned pale. He quickly raised his knife and looked around, being cautious.
'Something really happened? '
I saw that the door of Tongfu Inn was broken into half, and Lao Bai was lying there on the counter, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Seeing this scene, Xing Captou shouted preemptively.
"He's killing people! Help! He's killing people! Help!"
"Ahhh! Who, who killed someone?" Lao Bai, who was sleeping soundly on the counter, was woken up instantly by Lao Xing's shout.
When Lao Xing saw Lao Bai suddenly waking up, he was instantly frightened. He thought it was a fake corpse. He couldn't even hold the knife in his hand and dropped it directly to the ground.
Lao Bai also saw clearly that it was Lao Xing, and quickly shook his head and said. "Old Xing, why are you so surprised?"
"Who, who killed someone?" At the same time, shopkeepers Xiaoliu, Xiaoguo, Xiaoqing, and Tong upstairs also shouted out because of Lao Xing's "killer" sentence.
Even the timid scholar and Dazui ran over from the backyard, sticking out their little heads from behind the door curtain and looking at the lobby carefully.
When Lao Xing saw everyone there, he immediately understood that he had made a big mistake.
"What's that? Everyone is here. Sorry to bother you." Lao Xing quickly smiled awkwardly.
After saying that, Lao Xing picked up the knife on the ground and ran out embarrassedly, as if he had never been here.
Xiao Liu couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw his master like this.
As a master, he is really timid, but he came here so early because he was obviously worried about the safety of everyone in the inn.
"Shopkeeper Tong, I'll take my leave first." As he said this, Xiaoliu also hugged his fists at Shopkeeper Tong. He knew who he was messing with.
"Go ahead. I'll keep the room for you first. Once you've met Lou Magistrate and are sure you're a police officer, it won't be too late for you to come back and move your things there."
"Besides, if Lou Magistrate doesn't want you, you are welcome here at any time." Shopkeeper Tong said gently to Xiao Liu. She now likes Xiao Liu more and more.
"That's nonsense. On our Xiaoliu terms, Lou Zhixian doesn't want it. That's their county government's loss."
Lao Bai helped him by saying that although he knew to be wary of Xiao Liu, he did admire Xiao Liu.
Strong, witty, brave, decisive, calm in the face of danger, and decisive. Is this really a nineteen-year-old boy who has never experienced anything in the world?
If Lao Xing hadn't watched the other party grow up, Lao Bai would have doubted whether she was Tianshan's child.
"Okay, everyone, Xiaoliu will take the first step. Let's all wait for my good news!" Xiaoliu said to everyone with his fists clasped.
"Go, go, we're going to leave too." The shopkeeper also walked downstairs. Since there were many places to go today, they had to leave early.
Xiao Liu nodded when he heard this, and without any pretense, he quickly ran out the door.
As he expected, his master did not go far, but was waiting for him at the corner outside the inn.
"Master." Xiao Liu greeted him quickly.
"Xiao Liu, are you okay? Why is the door of this inn like this? Did something happen last night?" When Lao Xing saw Xiao Liu coming out, he quickly asked with concern.
Then Xiao Liu told Lao Xing everything about what happened last night, but he briefly mentioned Lao Bai's martial arts skills. He only said that after a fierce battle, the male and female evil spirits were defeated by them. Subdued.
And originally Lao Xing wanted to ask, how did they subdue the male and female evil spirits who were so ferocious? But when he heard Xiaoliu say that Xiaoguo was Guo Juxia's daughter, Lao Xing fell to the ground in fear.
"Guo, Guo, Guo Juxia!" Lao Xing's reaction was exactly the same as that of Lao Bai yesterday. Then he didn't worry about how Xiaoliu and the others subdued the male and female evil spirits. He just asked anxiously what happened next.
And when he heard that the two parties finally reconciled and that shopkeeper Tong would take Xiao Guo and the others to the victim to apologize today, Lao Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Liu, you did the right thing this time. My teacher's teachings are not in vain." Lao Xing quickly praised Xiao Liu.
Although Xiaoliu was very confused, "You haven't taught anything yet?" ’ But he still responded in a weak voice.
"That's right, it's all thanks to your teachings, master."
"Let's go and accompany our teacher to see Miss Guo." As he said that, Lao Xing swaggered back to Tongfu Inn with a swing of his shoulder knife.
