Outside the corridor on the second floor, Xiao Guo looked at the scholar and asked:
"What's up?"
Xiucai glanced at the door behind Xiao Guo. He was worried that the conversation between the two would be overheard by the shopkeeper, so he deliberately pulled Xiao Guo to the corner of the second floor and asked in a low voice:
"Let me ask you, did you teach Xiaobei how to skip school?"
The scholar looked at Xiao Guo carefully. Although he was timid at times, he was courageous at other times, especially when it came to issues of principle.
When Xiao Guo faced the scholar's questioning, not only did she not feel timid about having her plans exposed, on the contrary, she felt happy in her heart.
"You already know, so what's the result? Have you got Xiaobei's leave?" Xiao Guo asked curiously.
After hearing Xiao Guo's reply, Xiucai finally confirmed his suspicion. He patted his forehead speechlessly, looked at Xiao Guo in disbelief and asked:
"Is it really your idea?"
"Of course, how about it, my idea is not bad, right?" Xiao Guo boasted with a chuckle.
"What are you going to do? Do you know what will happen if the shopkeeper knows about this?" Xiucai asked in horror.
"What's wrong? I'm just asking for a leave, isn't that all?"
"Asking for leave? Is that what you call asking for leave? You are clearly running away..." Seeing Xiao Guo's nonchalant look, the scholar couldn't help but get excited.
Hearing the scholar's somewhat high-pitched voice, Xiao Guo quickly stopped "hissing".
Xiao Guo looked back guiltily and looked at the shopkeeper's room at the end of the corridor. Fortunately, there was no movement at the door. Xiao Guo breathed a sigh of relief. After a false alarm, she quickly complained to the scholar angrily:
"Why are you so loud? Aren't you just asking for leave? Who hasn't skipped class when they were young?"
"I don't have one." Xiucai quickly retorted.
As a child prodigy since childhood, school was a place for him to show that he was superior to others and receive praise from everyone.
Skipping class in such a wonderful place? Even when he was sick, he thought about going to school.
"That's you, not Xiaobei. Everyone has different ideas. Don't impose your will on others." Xiao Guo retorted disdainfully. She has hated this kind of other people's children the most since she was a child. .
"You!... No matter what, it is wrong to skip classes. Do you know that you are indulging Xiaobei and helping Xiaobei skip classes not for her own good, but to harm her?"
"I didn't condone her. I just saw that she was too tired recently and wanted her to relax for a day. After today, she will go to class obediently."
. . .
. . .
The two of them have their own opinions on this matter, and no one can convince the other.
However, although the two people debated fiercely, they always controlled the volume. They were afraid that the shopkeeper would accidentally hear the incident, and then the two of them would be involved.
"Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. Where is Xiaobei now?" After arguing with Xiucai for a while, Xiao Guo, who was at a loss for words, didn't want to argue anymore and quickly asked the most important question.
When the scholar heard this, he also thought of the urgent task, but there was a pensive look on his face.
"She ran too fast and I couldn't keep up."
"What! You..." Xiao Guo asked in shock, but she quickly realized that her voice was too loud, so she quickly covered her mouth and asked in a low voice:
"You are a grown man, how come you can't even look down on a little girl?"
"Hey, is this the trick you poked out?" Xiucai looked at Xiao Guo carefully.
Xiao Guo was also a little speechless.
"Okay, but the top priority is not to argue about who is right or wrong, but to quickly find Xiaobei first. Otherwise, if something happens to Xiaobei, none of us will be able to get away with it."
Hearing Xiao Guo's suggestion, the scholar also nodded.
"Well, just tell me what to do next."
"Xiao Bei is just a little girl, and usually no one will cause trouble for her. In addition, the public security in the town is so good, and Lao Xing and Xiao Liu are always patrolling the streets, so there is no chance of human traffickers or anything like that.
The only thing you're worried about now is that she accidentally walks into some dangerous place, especially places like Xiliang River. You should go out to find her now. Don't let her go to such a dangerous place alone. "
Xiao Guo quickly analyzed that as Guo Juxia's daughter, she grew up among a group of headhunters, so she still has basic reasoning skills.
"Well, I'll go right away." Xiucai nodded when he heard this, but then he looked at Xiao Guo and asked:
"how about you?"
"I'll stay here to appease the shopkeeper first and tell her not to go shopping on the street. Once I've finished appeasing her, I'll find an opportunity to go out and join you."
"Okay, but I'm just one person. Will there be insufficient manpower? Do you want to tell Da Zui and Lao Bai and let them help?"
Xiao Guo hesitated when he heard the words. Lao Bai believed it, but his mouth was too big, and it would be leaked to you if you were not careful.
"No need, the fewer people know about this the better, and we don't have to worry too much. Xiaobei is no longer a three-year-old child. She knows what is dangerous and what is not."
Xiao Guo actually trusts Xiao Bei very much. She believes that Xiao Bei has enough awareness of danger, just like herself when she was a child, but she still has to look for it. If she is not afraid of 10,000, she will be afraid of what may happen.
"Okay, I'll go then."
"Go." Xiao Guo waved his hand, and the scholar quickly ran downstairs.
And Xiao Guo also returned to the shopkeeper's room.
"You're back. Does Xiucai have anything to do with you?" the shopkeeper asked curiously.
The shopkeeper in the room just now also heard a little bit of the quarrel between the two people outside, but due to the distance and the two people deliberately controlling the volume, she only heard a few screams.
"It's nothing, it's just a personal matter." Xiao Guo said perfunctorily with a smile.
"Is there any personal matter between you two?"
The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Guo with a smile, and the fire of gossip ignited in his eyes.
Seeing the shopkeeper like this, Xiao Guo quickly changed the topic and said:
"Don't talk about me, let's talk about you. All your problems can be summed up in one sentence: you are not confident enough and you have too low self-esteem."
When the topic returned to him, the shopkeeper no longer paid attention to the gossip about Xiao Guo and Xiucai, but asked humbly:
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Xiao Guo breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the shopkeeper was no longer entangled, and she quickly said nonsense:
"It's very simple. Beauty is the source of a woman's confidence. If you want to change your lack of confidence, you must change you from the outside in."
"From the outside in? Specifically..." the shopkeeper asked doubtfully.
"To put it simply, it's about dressing up."
