Chapter 1241 Borrowing Coal
Although there was nothing in the room at first, when Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi opened the door and went in, they found that someone had come into the room and things had been turned over.
Although the man put her and Lu Xingzhi's things away as usual, and Lu Xingzhi's money in the suitcase was not missing, but the two of them still noticed it when they entered the door.
The quilt was folded, but the direction of the pattern was changed. It can be seen that the people who came into the room searched meticulously without even letting go of the quilt. It is likely that they took apart the quilt and checked it, and put the quilt back after confirming that there was nothing there.
"You wait in the room, I'll go to the next door to pick up some things." Lu Xingzhi told Jiang Yao to sit in the room and wait, but after thinking about it, he didn't feel at ease, "Let's go there with me."
Then he carried the empty bucket in one hand and led Jiang Yao in the other to walk towards the next door.
The door next door was closed, Lu Xingzhi put the empty bucket beside him and knocked on it.
The man who came to open the door was a man in his fifties or sixties. When he saw Lu Xingzhi approaching, he had a kind uncle's smile on his face, but there was a little different emotion in his eyes, which was alert.
"Little brother, what are you doing?"
"My wife and I just arrived today, and we didn't have time to buy coal, so I want to borrow some from you first, and I'll return it to you when I buy it tomorrow." Lu Xingzhi pushed the empty bucket forward.
Jiang Yao continued in a timely manner, "Uncle, not too much, just five or six are fine, and then can you give us two more red-burning coals? Or you can buy them! I'm new here, and I really can't eat them." I'm used to the food here, it's too spicy, so my man will make me some dinner."
"Oh, it's just such a small matter!" The man suddenly realized when he heard it, and then he turned around and went back to the room very briskly. The penultimate and third coals were picked up and put into Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao's coal stoves.
After finishing all this, the uncle did not leave in a hurry, but called another person in the room to come out, and then introduced Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi, "This is my old lady, we just moved here not long ago, We will be neighbors from now on, let’s get to know each other so that we can take care of each other in the future.”
"Uncle and aunt, aren't you locals from Shucheng?" Jiang Yao was almost shocked when she saw the old woman come out, but she covered it up quickly and didn't let anyone notice, "Look at the tone of the two of you talking It doesn't look like Shucheng's skin color."
"Hey, we are not." The uncle waved his hand, "We are from the north."
"What a coincidence, so do we." Jiang Yao responded with a smile, and then watched Lu Xingzhi skillfully squat down and hold the cardboard box to blow the wind at the coal stove.
Although the smile on her face didn't stop for a second, her heart was full of anger at the moment.
This old woman, Jiang Yao, has never seen a real person, but she has seen her photos!
From the newspaper that Wen Xuehui gave her, it was a photo of the old lady on the day she was released from prison!
This old lady is the one who made Zheng Xinyi suffer for many years! It was the old woman who disfigured Zheng Xinyi.
Jiang Yao was really shocked to meet this old woman in Shucheng, so it is obviously impossible for this uncle and this old woman to be an old couple.
It is very possible that this uncle and the old woman are also members of the gang, but they may be just low-level people, so they were arranged to live here. Even, the room she and Lu Xingzhi live in now may be this middle-aged man or this The old woman used to live there.
