Pang Zhijing stepped forward and patted the door timidly. With one hand, the door shook. She thought the door was not secure, so she fell down when she knocked on it, and immediately ran back to Xiao Hou to hide.
During the period, she saw the scorn in Xiao Hou's eyes. She grinned at him. Anyway, even if it was a joke that she was timid, she would stop knocking. If she was smashed, where would she cry
However, at this moment, the mottled wooden door swayed, and then "creaked" sounded, and then slowly opened from the inside.
How could this atmosphere, this sound, and this environment feel like a haunted house
Don't look at her courageous usually, but she is actually very fragile. At this time, she is holding Xiao Hou's sleeve tightly, ready to pull him to escape at any time.
Xiao Hou didn't feel sympathy when she saw that she was so frightened, but rather amused.
At the same time, the wooden door had been laboriously opened, and a head protruded from it.
It was an elderly woman with a wrinkled face and a terribly old hand on the doorknob. She looked at the two of them vigilantly, but when she saw Xiao Hou, she was slightly taken aback and couldn't wait to leave. Come out, "Your Highness, why are you here?"
After asking, she looked at Pang Zhijing, who was clinging to Xiao Hou's side, with a puzzled and surprised look in her eyes, "Who is this again?"
"Mother Ren, go ahead and talk about it." Xiao Hou interrupted her constantly looking at Pang Zhijing, and walked in first.
Pang Zhijing felt that this person looked a bit eccentric at first glance, but listening to her words and behaviors, she was very orderly, and her voice was soft, not like an evil mother-in-law on the outside.
Xiao Hou left first, but she was still a little scared, pulling his sleeves and following closely, like a child who was afraid of being lost.
Xiao Hou looked down at the hand she was holding tightly, smiled slightly, and the amorous feelings crossed the corner of his eyes and disappeared.
Pang Zhijing was on guard all over, but she felt that Xiao Hou seemed to be very familiar with this place. From entering the door to the present, he walked inside without hesitation, and reminded her to be careful of the potholes under her feet.
Because of this reason, she slowly relaxed her emotions and had the energy to observe her surroundings.
Although the outside looks very dilapidated, the inside is very clean and tidy, so there are not many utensils, but it can be seen that the owner is very good at decorating, there are many small flowers raised in small wine pots, and various gadgets , She was dazzled, and if Xiao Hou hadn't been distracted to take care of her, I'm afraid she would have tripped again because she didn't pay attention to the road.
But what made her feel a little weird was that the person named Ren Po had been staring at her since she entered the door, especially the hand she held Xiao Hou's sleeve, she subconsciously pulled the sleeve tighter .
However, she found that the person named Ren Po's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, but her heart was even more panicked.
No, she really came to the den of thieves
"What's wrong?" Xiao Hou asked.
"Mother Ren looks so fierce." She whispered.
"Don't talk nonsense." Xiao Hou gave her a fierce look.
Hey, you are so fierce!
Xiao Hou opened the broken flower curtain and walked in.
The oil lamp was lit inside, brighter than the outside.
Xiao Hou pulled his sleeves out of her hands and said angrily, "Didn't you say you want to drink? I brought you here but it looks like I'm going to sell you. What are you thinking?"
Pang Zhijing pursed her lips and turned her eyes to one side, and taught her a lesson in front of people she didn't know.
Xiao Hou couldn't see what she was thinking. He pointed to Po Ren and said to her, "Po Ren is not an outsider. She made the wine you drank before."
Pang Zhijing looked surprised, then turned her head to look at Granny Ren, her eyes full of curiosity. She always felt that people who knew how to make wine were very powerful, because she had a relative who could make wine. She was influenced by him since she was a child, and she knew a little bit about wine. .
When Pang Zhijing looked at Granny Ren, Granny Ren was also looking at her. When His Royal Highness asked her to let go, although her tone was a little bad, she could see that His Royal Highness cared about this girl, otherwise she would not wait until she entered the door.
She smiled kindly and said, "Don't be afraid of this girl. The old lady makes a living by brewing wine. Usually, not many people come here, so it's a bit desolate, please don't mind."
Only then did Pang Zhijing understand what it means to be unattractive. Once this woman got along with her, she was really kind and friendly, not fierce at all, but the person sitting next to her was fierce.
"You haven't had dinner yet. If you don't dislike it, eat here with the old lady!" Granny Ren was very polite to her and could be said to be cautious.
Pang Zhijing was a little uncomfortable, she turned her head and asked Xiao Hou with her eyes, but Xiao Hou ignored her, not knowing when he took the jade pendant around his waist and was playing with it.
She had no choice, and they were still waiting for a reply, so she immediately turned her head to Mrs. Ren and said obediently, "We came all the way and haven't eaten yet, if it doesn't cause you any trouble, then it's fine, we can go out and find any place we want. Eat some."
When the old woman heard it, she quickly waved her hand, "No trouble, no trouble, wait a minute, the old lady will be ready soon."
As she said that, she hurriedly entered the kitchen, for fear that the two of them would go back on their words.
Pang Zhijing looked at the direction in which Granny Ren left, and couldn't help blinking, what's the situation
She stretched out her elbow and poked the person around her, "What is this person's relationship to you, why does she feel that she is afraid of you?"
"This is not called fear. If you don't know how to use words, don't use them indiscriminately." Xiao Hou said coolly.
Being choked by him, Pang Zhijing turned her head and ignored him.
It's too much, don't give her any face outside!
Seeing that she only left the back of his head, Xiao Hou couldn't help but smile.
It seems that she has been used to a bit of going to the house recently.
"Mother Ren was my mother's nurse when she was still alive."
When I was sulking, I suddenly heard what he seemed to explain.
She forgot that she was still angry, turned her head and asked in surprise, "Isn't your mother raided all over the place?"
"At that time, Mrs. Ren happened to go home for something, and my mother returned the deed of prostitution to her very early, so when the search was carried out, Mrs. Ren was not affected." Xiao Hou replied calmly.
Pang Zhijing pursed her lips, "Then why is she here?"
Xiao Hou lowered his eyes and carried the firelight behind his back, so he couldn't see his expression at this time, "Mother Ren used to love my mother very much, my mother's family suffered a change, she learned that her mother had entered the palace, so she found a place to stay here. To accompany her, Granny Ren made a living by brewing wine, and after her mother was promoted to a nobleman, she got in touch with Granny Ren, and the two started to communicate."
"Mother Ren is really a good person." Pang Zhijing sighed.
However, when she was talking, she found that there seemed to be a flash of sadness in his eyes, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
