Jiang He leaned against the door. Her hair was messy and stuck to the side of her face. She held the sword in her left hand and held the door with her right hand. She looked at Xu Qing and fell into silence.
She was not stupid. She just lacked knowledge.
Although she did not know if Xu Qing was telling the truth or if there were any lies in his words, she could tell from the first glance that this person did not mean any harm.
He just came home normally and met her. When he saw that it was getting dark outside, he lent her an umbrella and let her go.
"Why did you help me?" she asked for the second time.
Xu Qing scratched his head. This heroine was not easy to fool.
"To be honest … it's a little novel. After all, this kind of thing is too magical. I —" Xu Qing gestured with his hand. "You should be able to understand, right? … Let's say, if I go to your era and meet you, and you see a man from more than a thousand years in the future, do you also feel magical? Then … "
"An inexplicable person appeared. He could only be killed by the boss."
"…"
"…"
There was a sudden silence with a little awkwardness.
"Times are different. We can't kill people casually here. Everyone loves peace." Xu Qing felt a chill on his back. Once again, he was conflicted about whether to let her stay or not.
If he stayed, it was too dangerous. If he didn't, it would be a pity.
This was a living ancient person.
He continued to be silent for a while.
"I don't know how you came here. If you can find out the reason, you might be able to go back. But before that, you have to learn how to live in this world — the first rule is that you can't hurt people casually."
Xu Qing turned to look at the broken television on the wall and added, "And you can't destroy things casually."
After a pause, he reached out to the door and gestured for her to leave. "If I can do it, I want to help you. Or you can leave now … By the way, it's better not to hurt people outside. There are government officials everywhere now, and they are very powerful. "
It was already dark outside. The rain was getting lighter. The pitter-patter of rain could be heard from outside the window.
Jiang He looked up at the light bulb on the roof and pursed her lips.
She knew nothing about this place. Her clothes were also different from everyone else. She might not even be able to leave the city. If she left, she really didn't know where to go.
Growl …
His stomach growled again.
Xu Qing looked at her for a moment, then turned back to the sofa and picked up his phone. "If you agree, put down the sword, and I'll order a meal for you. That is, I'll get someone to send food over.
To be honest, I'm taking a risk by taking you in, and it's a two-sided risk. Not only do I have to prevent you from being discovered by others, but I also have to worry that you might kill me if there's a misunderstanding. So … do you understand? "
Jiang He thought for a moment and nodded slowly. He glanced at the sword in his hand, paused for a moment, and then threw it aside.
Clang.
The solid iron sword fell to the ground with a loud thud. Xu Qing's lips curled up slightly. He turned around with his phone in his hand and said, "What do you usually eat? You might not like the food here. Let me see if there's anything you're familiar with. "
"Hu Bing."
"…"
He thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it. I'll order some porridge and buns for you. You're all wet. You can take a bath first. You can eat it when you come out … Hey, do you know how to dry your clothes with your inner force?"
Jiang He looked at him in confusion. She didn't understand what he was talking about. "Where … to take a bath?"
"This way."
Xu Qing didn't bother about her inner force. Anyway, he had plenty of time. He brought her to the bathroom and turned on the light. He said, "There are many magical things in this world. Don't make a fuss. I always feel that someone is trying to harm you … At least I won't harm you. Don't worry. Look at this."
He turned the switch of the shower, and water gushed out from the shower head. Jiang He was just stunned as she watched him operate.
"To the left is hot water, to the right is cold water. Press it down and it will stop. Pull it up and water will come out. Here, try it."
Xu Qing taught her briefly and let her operate it herself. Fortunately, this ancient person just hadn't seen it before. She was not stupid. She learned how to operate it after watching him demonstrate it once. She couldn't hide the curiosity on her face.
"This is for shampoo … Press it here and it will come out. If you apply it on your hair, there will be bubbles. It's normal. Just rinse the bubbles away. Then, you can use this to wash your body. Just apply it on your hair … "
Xu Qing taught his friend from ancient times how to use the bathroom and casually explained how to use the toilet bowl. When he saw her nod, he consciously retreated.
He scratched his head and sat on the sofa. He looked back. The light was on, but there was no sound of the shower. He thought for a moment and went back to the bedroom. He took out his clothes from the closet and carried them over.
Jiang He was still standing there with his clothes on. Looking at Xu Qing who suddenly came in, there was a trace of vigilance in his eyes.
"There are no women's clothes at home. Just make do with it. I will go out and buy two clothes for you tomorrow."
Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat. He was careless. He actually forgot that she didn't know how to lock the door.
He pretended to put the clothes aside as if nothing had happened. He held the door handle and said, "Come here, I will teach you how to lock the door."
Fortunately, Jiang He hadn't started to take off his clothes. Otherwise, there would definitely be blood splattered on the spot.
After teaching Jiang He to lock the bathroom door, he retreated with a little fear. He sat on the sofa quietly for a while and felt relieved when he heard the sound of the bathroom running.
He picked up an ancient woman, and she was even a heroine …
Was it really not a dream?
Xu Qing pinched his thigh hard and shook his head twice. He quietly picked up the sword on the ground and slowly pulled it out.
The sword reflected a cold light. There were some dark brown stains in the blood groove, with a hint of iron smell.
What a guy.
If there was a chance, let the old man appraise it to see if it was an antique …
…
…
When Jiang He came out, Xu Qing was writing something on the table in front of the sofa. She turned her head and saw that her sword was still in the same place. However, the TV on the wall had been taken down. The diamond-shaped dart embedded in the middle of the TV had also been taken down and placed on the corner of the table.
"What are you writing?"
"Hmm?"
Xu Qing turned her head and saw Jiang He wearing his loose shirt and jeans. His hair was wet, and there were drops of water dripping from the ends of his hair. He looked a little modern.
"Well, I'm sorting out the problems that need to be solved at the moment." He waved the paper in his hand. "Can you read?"
Jiang He looked at it carefully and said, "It's a little strange. It's hard to read."
"Oh, I'll summarize it later and tell you."
"This dress is also very strange." She pulled her collar awkwardly.
"It's quite nice … Ahem, it's our custom here to praise people for their looks. You won't think that I'm flirting or something, right?"
"You'd better not say anything frivolous."
"Okay."
Xu Qing respected the concept of the ancient people. She couldn't change it in a short time.
"There are slippers over there. Throw away your broken … Ahem, straw sandals. I'll buy a new pair tomorrow."
Jiang He looked in the direction he was pointing and looked down at her own straw sandals. Her toes moved a few times inside. She didn't say anything and went to put on the slippers.
Knock, knock.
The door of the room rang. Before Xu Qing could react, she had already leaned against the door.
"It's food delivery. Don't be nervous."
Xu Qing comforted her and stood up. There was an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
This girl's vigilance and cautiousness were not much different from a homeless stray cat.
He took the food from the gap in the door and placed it on the table one by one. He signaled to Jiang He.
"Eat."
Porridge, steamed buns, and a small plate of pickled vegetables.
Jiang He stood in front of the table and didn't eat immediately. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said, "I remember something that the second-in-command often said."
"What is it?" Xu Qing was curious.
"Those who are unaccountably solicitous are hiding evil intentions."
They looked at each other for a moment. Jiang He forced a smile.
"But you're a good person."
"Of course."
Xu Qing returned a smile. "Fortunately, you didn't draw your sword again."
"What would have happened if I had?"
"I don't know."
Anyway, she couldn't beat him, but she couldn't keep him. After explaining so much, it was the most basic thing to be able to communicate normally. It wouldn't do if they couldn't communicate.
A stray cat that bites deserved to be a stray.
