The ancient city of Yuchi is located in the south and has warmed up in early March.

In the evening, the sky was overcast, and there were puddles on the ground, reflecting the dilapidated houses in the ancient city, as well as the small splashes of water that Xia Xiaoyi occasionally made when he stepped on it.

She has a DSLR on her chest, a mobile phone in her hand, and two machines take turns shooting.

After walking for a while, Xia Xiaoyi stopped at the mouth of a small alley. She lit up her phone again, entered the scarf homepage, and clicked on the private email.

Among the many chat messages, she quickly found the account named Qingmo and clicked on it.

The chat page is mostly about travel photography, and occasionally there is a little daily warmth. The latest piece of information is an address navigation from Gaode Map, which is an old store that Qingmo highly recommends to Xia Xiaoyi.

Xia Xiaoyi carefully compared the street signs and shops in reality, and after confirming that the side alley next to it was correct, he turned into it briskly.

The alley is not wide, but there are some old shops on both sides, and most of them are small food shops. At first glance, you can guess that this was once an old living area in the old city, and although many of the storefronts have been renovated and decorated, the old bricks and tiles on the roof of the arcade and the mottled walls in the corners all tell the history of this place.

Xia Xiaoyi looked around with interest, but this was not her destination yet, the place she was going to was hidden deeper and more remote.

The farther she went, the less people around her seemed to be heard, and gradually, she began to hear her own footsteps. Following the map, she turned into another, narrower alley on the right.

Peeling walls, rusty iron doors and windows, and the occasional man or two people stepping out of the door and splashing a basin of dirty water into the narrow living gutter.

Just when Xia Xiaoyi was observing the living conditions in the old city with great interest, a person suddenly popped out of a concave corner, his posture was vigorous and his movements were neat, and before Xia Xiaoyi could react, she had been taken captive into a darkness.

A hurried and deep voice came from behind his ears, in the local dialect: "Hand over the valuable Ye to Lai, if I don't kill you!"

The man's arm was stuck in Xia Xiaoyi's throat, pressing her almost out of breath, and at the same time, she also felt a sharp object against her waist.

Her face was flushed, and when she opened her mouth, she could only hiss, saying, "I don't understand." ”

Xia Xiaoyi looked at the environment in front of him as he spoke, this notch was about four or five meters long, narrow, and there were two closed old houses, which should have been abandoned and uninhabited.

In a dark corner, and with only one exit, it may not be easy for a delicate girl to break free and run out.

Fortunately, the man's hand strength was slightly loosened, but he still tightly imprisoned Xia Xiaoyi. "Give me everything you're worthy!"

"Okay, okay, I'll give. Xia Xiaoyi's hand reached for the bag at her side, because she was imprisoned by the man behind her, her arm couldn't be stretched, and after a pause of two seconds, she said timidly: "Can you let me go, I can't untie it." ”

It was getting late and her vision was dim, and the robber looked in the direction and did see an intricate knot wrapped around the opening of her satchel, presumably to prevent thieves from pickpocketing.

The robber sneered, and the hand around her neck fell and reached for her satchel instead.

I never thought that Xia Xiaoyi's speed was faster than him, she pulled the bag into her arms and hugged it tightly, and at the same time ran to the exit with her legs, and shouted loudly: "Help, robbery, someone is robbing...... Help!"

However, before she could run two meters away, she was dragged by the robbers and half-dragged back to that dark corner.

With a fierce look on his face, he slapped Xia Xiaoyi in the face, spat on the ground again, and scolded viciously: "Shut up! Believe it or not, I will kill you!"

Xia Xiaoyi sat on the ground, her whole body shrunk into a ball, and she was still holding her camera and bag in her arms. But he still shouted: "Help, help!"

This is obviously a living area, although it is an old area, but it is also inhabited, why is it quiet at the moment...... Xia Xiaoyi's heart was cold, and he regretted it a little.

Since he chose to do something here, he must know that no one here will come out to stop him...... Knowing this, she shouldn't have chosen to resist, but obediently handed over the money.

Xia Xiaoyi threw away the phone tremblingly, and said timidly: "Big brother, I will give you everything, please let me go." ”

With that, she trembled and took off the bag hanging from her body and threw it over.

"But this camera is company property, and there is a lot of important information in it, so I don't ...... it"

Before he could finish speaking, the man raised his foot and kicked it over. Xia Xiaoyi also reacted quickly, rolled over and dodged this kick, making the opponent kick in the air, and he couldn't stand steadily.

"Grass, play with me!"

The man was already annoyed, he squatted down and grabbed Xia Xiaoyi's hair with one hand, pinched her chin with the other, and his eyes revealed ferocity and viciousness.

He grabbed her hair and wanted to hit the wall, but Xia Xiaoyi could only use all his strength to resist desperately. However, in the end, it could not match the domineering strength of the young man, and the back of her head slammed into the wall.

Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound in the head accompanied by pain.

And the man squatting in front of her had already seen her appearance clearly, with watery peach blossom eyes and a slightly upturned mouth, it turned out to be pure and charming, very sultry.

His hands were restless, sliding from the top of her head to her waist in a disgusting laugh.

Xia Xiaoyi was knocked dizzy, dazed, and his eyes began to droop. She struggled to keep her eyes open and keep herself a little awake, no matter what, she couldn't fall into the hands of such a wicked person.

She tilted her head to avoid the other party, and at the same time stretched out her hands and grabbed them wildly, but she grabbed the other party's neck.

Warm skin, some fine sweat, sticky.

A picture suddenly broke into Xia Xiaoyi's mind, she paused, and a deeper fear suddenly arose in her heart.

She snapped at her fingertips, leaving five scratches on the other's neck.

The robber was completely enraged, he grabbed Xia Xiaoyi's with his backhand, pressed her against the wall, and his tall body completely blocked her in front of her, casting a gloom.

Xia Xiaoyi, who was shrunk into a ball, became even more small and weak. Unwilling to admit defeat or show weakness, she was just as she was aiming at a vacancy under the man's other arm and wanted to get out of it, but she saw a halo of light suddenly light up behind him.

Looking up, she saw a tall and thin man standing two meters away, holding his mobile phone, his head slightly sideways, frowning at the scene in front of her.

"Miss, do you need help?" the voice was clear, a very young voice.

The robber's figure that had just begun to have a bad heart paused and slowly turned his head.

Xia Xiaoyi reacted at this time, and hurriedly shouted: "Help me!"

"Your mother, where did you get the dog!!Don't get in the way of Lao Tzu's good deeds!" the robber scolded, stood up, and by the light source in front of him, he saw a young, tall, thin, and somewhat familiar man.
