Chapter 163: Distress
Jiang Chenfeng jumped on the eaves and looked into the distance, only to see a forest of high-rise buildings, jagged and scattered, far and near. At this time, it is worth ten o'clock in the afternoon, the scorching sun is scorching, a round sun hangs high in the sky, the clouds are stacked, and the beam of light is tilted down, a good picture of a fairyland on earth.
A lake in the distance, light and shadow flow, ripples shimmering people, only to see a few lonely geese, wailing several sounds, all flying towards the sky, is the so-called "autumn water is a color of the sky, Luoxia and the lonely goose fly together" Although there is no Luoxia at the moment, it is not lost in this artistic conception.
The commercial streets and alleys at the foot are quite distinctive, with temple-like bungalows, small and exquisite, brick and wood structures, cornices and corners, and openwork window lattices, which are unique and ingenious.
The storefronts on both sides are different, antique, and the signboard above the curtain is small, but it is quite exquisite, and the setting is generous.
At this moment, people are coming and going on the streets and alleys, rubbing shoulders one after another, and the sound of selling is endless.
Jiang Chenfeng glanced at the people below, but did not find the figure he was looking for, and immediately jumped into the uninhabited alley, blended into the crowd, and continued to explore.
On the other side, the disciples of the Xu family left the streets and alleys of Tiancheng step by step, although they walked in the crowd, their eyes were not far from the surrounding children, especially the female children. If you find a similar person, in order to avoid revealing your identity and frightening everyone, you can only wait and see from a distance, and only after confirming it, can you move to another place.
Just when the Xu family was secretly looking for Lingxi with all their might, near an alley not far from the Heavenly City Gate, Lingxi was walking forward sadly, eager to leave here.
When Lingxi was in Xu Lianyi's room in Xu's mansion that day, she woke up from her slumber, looked around, and saw Qing Ming's figure, only Xu Lianyi and her maid Xiaoyu around her, and immediately woke up, it turned out that everything was true, Qing Ming, the young man who had been protecting her and freed her from the hands of thieves left her, and watched him never come down from the top of the cliff again, and immediately was stunned, and everything in front of him was colorless.
When he woke up, he could no longer suppress the pain in his heart, and he began to cry, waiting for Xu Lianyi to comfort him with all his words, Lingxi couldn't listen to a word, and couldn't accept the fact of Qing Ming's death in his heart, so he immediately made up his mind to go to the top of the cliff to find it.
So she took advantage of the gap between Xu Lianyi and the two, quietly escaped from the back door of another deserted courtyard, and soon after she came out, she saw a large number of people coming out of Xu's mansion, she thought that she dared to arrest her back, remembering Qing Ming's words to him, don't trust anyone, and remembered what happened to the "Jubaolou" auction house in Qingshan Town, and couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
Originally, she had no business in her heart, but she was bent on finding Qingming, she wanted to see people in life, and she wanted to see corpses in death.
When I just stepped into the street, there was a vast sea of people in front of me, and even if I had a purpose, I couldn't take a step. Thinking of the scene when Qing Ming took her to the market in the past, now that the prosperity is gone, things are not people, and immediately her heart was sad, tears filled her eyes, and she remembered that Qing Ming taught her to be strong in everything and not to cry easily, thinking of this, I saw her wipe the tears from her eyes with her hands, and turned her head and strode towards the dark alley.
When she was about to reach the alley, a ragged beggar carried a generation of food on his shoulders, but when he saw him bent down, he walked into the depths of the alley, and when he reached a distance of a few feet, he suddenly saw something flickering on the ground, and with a startled cry, he unloaded the weight from his shoulders and bent down to pick it up.
I saw a bead appear in the palm of his hand, and even in such a dim alley, the bead still emitted a dazzling light.
"What a beautiful bead" The beggar looked around, but there was no one around, and his face was suspicious for a moment.
"I'll take it to the pawnshop another day, and I hope the beads will cost me a few cents, so that I can see my son," muttered the beggar, carrying the heavy load and heading towards another street where the sun had not been seen all year round.
Behind a prosperous city there is often a dark existence that cannot be seen, and behind the drunken gold fan, there are countless dry bones that have turned into annihilation.
.......
Lingxi walked in the intricate alleys for an unknown amount of time, and when she saw a bright light appear not far ahead, she immediately trotted over.
But when she was about to reach the light, two people appeared out of nowhere, both of them disheveled, their faces crimson, and their drunken faces.
"Ginger...... Jiang Lao Er...... I'll just say... Just say you can't drink me!" said one of them, a strong man dressed in gray cedar and with a meaty face, to a person next to him drunkenly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he vomited on the ground.
A person next to him patted the strong man's back: "Okay, okay... Boss Tu, count me as losing, count me as losing, but... The mother's skin there in Zuiyun Tower is really... Not bad, one by one... One by one, they look like flowers and jade, and when Lao Tzu has money, he must... I'm going to stay there for three days and three nights!"
Jiang Lao Er looked at Boss Tu and stopped moving, raised his head and was looking at a certain place in a daze, wondering in his heart, and followed his eyes, only to see a little girl standing timidly not far away looking at them in horror.
"Jiang Er, am I dreaming, why is there a little beauty in front of me!" Boss Tu looked ahead in disbelief.
Jiang Lao Er pinched Boss Tu's cheek, and Boss Tu suddenly felt a pain, and screamed out.
"It's not a dream!"
The two glanced at each other, and both saw what they were thinking, and immediately smiled, with a lustful expression on their faces, and slowly rushed towards Lingxi.
Because the two of them are profligate people on weekdays, every time they pass by the drunken cloud building, they see the flower prostitutes inside and are soliciting guests, but they are penniless and can't vent the lust in their hearts, so they can only find a restaurant to get drunk.
Just when the two of them were resentful in their hearts, they met Lingxi alone in this street and alley that no one cared about, and they were drunk and hazy, and suddenly had a bad thought.
"Little sister, are you alone, let your uncle accompany you!" Boss Tu and Jiang Lao Er gradually walked towards Lingxi.
Lingxi was full of fear at this time, her body retreated involuntarily, and she turned her head and ran towards the way she came.
But due to panic, he suddenly tripped over something under his feet, and his whole body staggered forward, falling heavily to the ground.
Seeing that the two were about to arrive close, Lingxi was about to get up and escape again, at this moment, her feet couldn't move, and when she looked back, her heart was cold, Boss Tu had already grabbed her feet, and Jiang Lao Er was approaching her with a lewd smile.
Lingxi could only struggle desperately, not only shouting for help, but in a secluded place, no one responded.
Just when Lingxi was desperate in her heart, suddenly a figure flashed quickly in front of her, and then she heard the panicked cries of Boss Tu and Jiang Laoer.
"Something!"
I don't know who shouted, and then I didn't hear the second sentence come out, only two clicks like bones breaking, and after the sound, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened
