"...Good guy." Qiao Qixin took a bite of mutton skewers.
Liu Zhan took out the roasted sweet potatoes and mutton skewers he bought earlier from behind and stuffed them into Qiao Qixin's arms.
"Ah, I thought you didn't buy it." Qiao Qixin finished the one in her hand in two bites, then took out another mutton skewer and started eating it.
"I saw those paintings you painted, they are not bad." Liu Zhan suddenly said.
"Huh, huh?" Qiao Qixin was surprised. It was over. She forgot to destroy Liu Zhan's red skirt.
Qiao Qixin carefully observed Liu Zhan's expression with her peripheral vision.
I probably didn't notice it, otherwise why would I be so calm?
"Especially the one in red, it's very expressive."
"!!!"
Qiao Qixin is furious.
Liu Zhan glanced at Qiao Qixin and reminded, "Your roasted sweet potatoes are about to fall off."
"Oh." Qiao Qixin quickly took a bite.
"The county government is short of a painter who can paint prisoners' portraits. Do you want to try?" Liu Zhan said.
Qiao Qixin shook her head and refused decisively, "I'm a good shopkeeper, so why would I change my behavior temporarily and embarrass myself?"
"Are you the shopkeeper of Liuqi, the largest vegetable shop in Bian Ling City?" Liu Zhan asked.
"Huh? Is Liuqi already the largest food store?" Qiao Qixin asked curiously as she took a bite of the sweet and soft sweet potato.
Liu Zhan glanced at Qiao Qixin and said, "Aren't you from the shopkeeper? Why don't you even know this?"
Qiao Qixin shrugged. After Liu Qi developed, she would only be responsible for providing rapeseed and negotiating business. As for managing money, everything was left to Sister Zhang's care.
"...You are really a hands-off shopkeeper."
"Life is only a few decades, so you can't keep yourself busy every day. Even the donkeys in the production team dare not do this."
She broke another roasted sweet potato in half and handed one half to Liu Zhan, "Do you want to eat it?"
Liu Zhan hesitated and took it.
"Five pineapple cakes are fifty cents, thirteen mutton skewers are thirty-nine cents, and one and a half roasted sweet potatoes are six cents...a total of ninety-five cents." Qiao Qixin counted out with her fingers.
"No need to pay it back," Liu Zhan said.
"I really like what Meserve said, the less you owe, the better." Qiao Qixin said seriously.
Liu Zhan was confused, "Maserfu? Who is that?"
Why does he feel like he doesn't understand what Qiao Qixin is talking about anymore?
Qiao Qixin waved her hand, "I don't know you either. We've been fishing for so long, can you send me out?"
"It should be fine. I'll take you to the city gate first." Liu Zhan put on the pure black mask he took out from nowhere.
Qiao Qixin finished the sweet potatoes in three mouthfuls, and then put the veil tightly on her face.
The two came to the city gate.
The city gate was open a small crack, and in front of the small halls on both sides were several guards, fully dressed and carrying long guns, dozing off.
"They will change people soon. You need to run out through the gap in the city gate when they enter the hall." Liu Zhan whispered next to Qiao Qixin.
Qiao Qixin looked back and said, "Didn't you send me out?"
Liu Zhan shook his head.
Qiao Qixin:……
I don't know why, Qiao Qixin just feels a little speechless.
She stretched out her hand to Liu Zhan, and the eyes under the mask suddenly became sharp. Qiao Qixin's wrist was instantly held by Liu Zhan, and a heartbreaking pain came from the wrist.
"...The young man is quite strong."
"Sorry." Liu Zhan released his hold on Qiao Qixin's wrist.
Conditioned reflex, he didn't mean to hurt her.
Qiao Qixin continued to stretch her hand towards Liu Zhan's neck, then wiped it with her sleeve and said lightly, "You have blood."
…
"Attention, they are about to change shifts." Liu Zhan reminded in a low voice.
Qiao Qixin bent down and sneaked to the city wall when no one was around.
It's like being a thief.
She complained silently in her heart.
After staying at the city wall for a while, the guards began to change.
At the moment when the two teams alternated, Qiao Qixin rushed to the gap in the city gate at the fastest speed in her life.
Then, like an eel, she "slipped" out of the gap.
"What just ran past?" Guard A asked in confusion.
"Weasels, aren't there often weasels escaping from the mountains in the city?" Guard B said.
"A weasel that big???"
——
Qiao Qixin left the city and walked for a while in the dark.
"It's terrible, I won't get lost, right?" Qiao Qixin looked at the identical woods in front of her and fell into deep thought.
Click——
"Who!" Qiao Qixin turned around suddenly, and a burning torch appeared in her eyes.
"Who are you?" a man with a long beard asked, "You don't stay at home at night and run into the woods alone. Aren't you afraid of meeting bad people?"
Qiao Qixin pursed her lips.
Why do you think I'm running into the woods at night?
"Brother, can you send me to a small town? It's a small town very close to here. I'm lost and can't find my home." Qiao Qixin tried to ask this man she met by chance.
The bearded man looked Qiao Qixin up and down, then grinned and said, "Okay."
Qiao Qixin:……
What is this feeling of just emerging from the tiger's den and entering the wolf's den?
But there is no way. This chapter has been completed!
