When Shi Qingxue was talking to the waiter, Mo Junyang didn't say a word the whole time.
But with Mo Junyang's character, it would be weird if he really started talking to the waiter!
When Shi Qingxue asked him, he seemed to be still stuck in his own thoughts. It took him a while to realize Qingxue's question, but instead of answering, he asked: "Why do you think those people disappeared for no reason?"
Shi Qingxue understood Mo Junyang's character and was not surprised by his reaction. She was not angry and directly expressed her thoughts.
"The theory of ghosts and gods must not be credible. As for the horse thief, since the waiter saw it with his own eyes, it must be true. It's just..."
There was a trace of confusion on her little face, and she hesitated for a while before saying: "I always feel that this thing is a bit strange, but for a while I can't figure out the weirdness. You..."
Qingxue raised her eyes and looked at Mo Junyang eagerly, with trust in her eyes that she didn't even notice.
She subconsciously thought that Mo Junyang must have found the crux of the problem.
Mo Junyang smiled and said warmly: "The theory of horse thieves may not be credible."
"Huh?" Shi Qingxue blinked. Although she found it a little weird, but what the other party meant was that she wanted to completely deny the waiter's story
Shi Qingxue asked strangely: "Is it possible that the waiter in the shop deceived us?"
Mo Junyang still shook his head, "Not necessarily, but... seeing is not necessarily believing."
Shi Qingxue still didn't quite understand.
"Didn't he just say that he went out after curfew and saw a man in black riding across the street with someone lying on the horse?"
"Yes, doesn't this mean that someone kidnapped the missing people at night?" Shi Qingxue nodded subconsciously.
Mo Junyang smiled and said: "Yes, as you said, there is someone..."
He deliberately emphasized the word "someone".
Shi Qingxue understood immediately, "You mean, it may not be the horse thieves who robbed those people, but someone else?"
But as soon as the answer came out, Shi Qingxue became even more confused, "How could this happen? Who else would ride into the town on horseback at night just to kidnap people?"
"Why do you think the person who did this must be a horse thief?" Mo Junyang asked.
Shi Qingxue was speechless, thinking to herself, isn't this a matter of course
Who else could be capable of committing such evil acts of burning, killing, and looting except robbers who make a living by robbing
"But have you ever thought about what the horse thieves did by snatching these people away?"
Shi Qingxue paused, as if she had just realized this problem, and her big eyes slowly widened.
"Horse thieves make a living by robbing. If there is no profit, will they arrest someone for no reason?"
"But aren't there cases where horse thieves kidnap people up the mountain and then extort property from their families?" Shi Qingxue asked strangely.
Mo Junyang nodded and said: "The crux of the problem is here. There is no trace of those people after they disappeared. How can anyone commit a crime and only focus on kidnapping people, but even forget the most important thing of asking for property?"
"Is it possible that those horse thieves didn't have enough manpower, so they robbed people and forced them to become bandits?" Although Shi Qingxue didn't say it with her own eyes, she had heard many such stories from her grandfather and father since she was a child. .
She knew very well that those horse thieves were cruel and inhuman beasts, and it was not surprising at all that they would do such a thing.
Mo Junyang: "There are also some missing people, including old, young, women and children. They account for a lot of people. It's impossible for the horse thieves to kidnap them and feed them, right?"
Shi Qingxue thought about it and finally figured out the unreasonableness of this 'horse thief theory'.
But in this case, where did those missing people go
"It's impossible for them all to be eaten, right?" Shi Qingxue muttered angrily.
One or two may be excusable, but according to what the waiter said, the number of people missing like this is probably dozens, and this does not include those people who have no relatives or friends and no one notices their disappearance.
How could such a huge number just disappear
Even if you are attacked by wild animals or killed by people, you should leave your bones behind!
Apart from being dismantled and swallowed, she could not think of another way for a person to completely disappear from this world without a trace.
Mo Junyang couldn't bear that Shi Qingxue was struggling with this issue, so he poured a glass of warm water into her hand and said calmly: "It's getting late, drink some warm water and go to bed early!"
Shi Qingxue took it, took a sip obediently, and then turned to look out the window. The moon was already in the sky.
So she nodded obediently, "Okay."
After saying that, he looked at Mo Junyang with big bright eyes, as if waiting for him to speak.
Mo Junyang felt his heart skip a beat, and some emotion was about to arise, but he suppressed it all at once.
He just turned away his face, stood up, and said as calmly as possible: "I'm going out first, you have a good rest."
After that, without giving Shi Qingxue a chance to speak again, she opened the door and went out.
Shi Qingxue looked at the closed door and was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.
"He's really gone!"
She murmured, feeling inexplicably lost in her heart.
It's not that she was expecting anything, but when there were only two guest rooms in the inn and Mo Junyang gave one of them to Wei Ziye, why would he rather go out than talk to her
He should know that in extraordinary times, she does not shy away from these things.
Shi Qingxue looked at the soft bed in the room again. It was spacious and could definitely accommodate an adult man, but now it was empty.
No one seems to need it at all.
Shi Qingxue couldn't help but frown, and she regretted it a little.
"I should have stopped him just now."
Although I am very embarrassed, compared to my shyness, it is obviously more important for Mo Junyang to have a peaceful sleep!
Why didn't she take the initiative to speak just now
If she took the initiative to express that she didn't mind, Mo Junyang would definitely not be so hesitant.
Thinking of this, Shi Qingxue couldn't bear it anymore and decided to find Mo Junyang back. She couldn't just let him find a corner to stay all night, right
Shi Qingxue never thought about the possibility that Mo Junyang might go to live in Wei Ziye's room. She knew that the man had a slight mysophobia.
As for why it is said to be mild, it is because men have strong self-control and will not show it easily. They can endure it in times of emergency and will not even be noticed by anyone.
But Shi Qingxue knew that when Mo Junyang reached the top in his previous life, his mysophobia was brought to the extreme. Sometimes he didn't even want to touch things that others had touched. Those eunuchs and maids who served him closely every day They had to wear big white gloves before they were allowed to touch His Majesty the Emperor's things.
It's simply a monster to the extreme.
If Mo Junyang could really be selected, he would never be willing to wrong himself.
Shi Qingxue could also somewhat understand that Mo Junyang's mysophobia was closely related to his experiences in his previous life, so he couldn't bear to blame him.
I'm just surprised that men's mysophobia doesn't appear in her here
When I came into contact with her, I didn't see Mo Junyang looking hesitant or unhappy at all!
You can't choose a partner just because your mysophobia attacks, right
"Tsk, what a troublesome guy."
Shi Qingxue said angrily, but the expression on her face was still smiling.
She made a decision and opened the door in a good mood, ready to call the guy back.
When Qingxue went out to the corridor, she saw silence in the corridor, and Mo Junyang had long disappeared.
She thought for a while, then walked to the stairs and asked the waiter who was keeping watch, but she heard that he had never seen Mo Junyang go downstairs.
"Then where did he go?" Shi Qingxue muttered in confusion.
The waiter in this shop is the one who just collected Shi Qingxue's two gold ingots. He immediately said attentively: "That master must have gone back to his room to rest. Don't worry, miss. I'll keep him safe here." Bad guys can come up here and disturb you and the great master’s rest.”
Shi Qingxue didn't point out that the other party had misunderstood her, and just walked back to her room with doubts.
When she was at the door, she stopped, hesitating whether to go to Wei Ziye's room or not.
But Wei Ziye might have already fallen asleep, and going there rashly would definitely disturb the other person's rest...
When Qingxue was hesitating, an idea suddenly occurred somewhere in her heart. She seemed to realize it and looked up at the roof across the corridor.
Mo Junyang was sitting on the roof, looking directly at her room with a heavy gaze.
Perhaps she didn't expect that she would notice that the moment their eyes met, Shi Qingxue saw the embarrassment and embarrassment in his eyes that he had no time to hide.
But soon, the person on the opposite roof calmed down and flew in front of her.
Asked in a low voice: "What happened?"
Shi Qingxue looked at him straightly, "Where will you sleep tonight?"
Mo Junyang avoided Qingxue's gaze with a guilty conscience. His eyes stayed on the door rail for a while, then he turned back and explained softly: "Don't think too much, I just didn't want to stay in the guest room, so I ran to the roof to enjoy the cool air." Yes, besides it’s summer now, the weather is better, I’m used to it, I won’t..."
He suddenly realized what he had said and quickly closed his mouth, but Shi Qingxue already showed a look of realization.
She glared at Mo Junyang and asked angrily: "Have you been on the roof for so many nights?"
Mo Junyang opened his mouth to explain: "No, I..."
"Don't lie to me!" Shi Qingxue stared at Mo Junyang stubbornly, her eyes twinkling.
Maybe Mo Junyang had countless excuses to get over this matter, but when he looked into Shi Qingxue's clear eyes, he couldn't come up with any.
He didn't want to lie to her.
There was only silence with lowered eyes.
Shi Qingxue didn't need any more explanation.
"What are you doing!" Shi Qingxue frowned heavily and almost shouted.
She really couldn't understand why Mo Junyang couldn't take care of her in the room at night, so she had to spend the night on the roof...
What's wrong with this!
When Mo Junyang saw that Shi Qingxue was really angry, he quickly reached out to hold her little hand and explained softly: "I really just felt too hot, so I went outside to enjoy the cool air. You also know that I am in good health and will be fine. In addition, this road is not peaceful, I will be guarding outside, and you will also... "
"Mo Junyang!"
Shi Qingxue couldn't help but interrupt him with a louder voice, her eyes half surprised and half angry.
Only then did Mo Junyang realize that he seemed to have let something slip again.
