Chapter Ninety-Seven: Just Peace of Mind

Fish Dragon Street suddenly became quiet, and no matter what kind of people they usually were, they were now silent and carefully observing the others.

The second-hand bookstore incident is far bigger than it seems. Twenty-nine in the Xuan Realm, seventy-three in the Mountain Realm, and twenty-three in the Difficult Realm, not counting the other co-perpetrators, such a force, if it is going to kill, then the sky will really be a river of blood. This is only the people who were killed on the surface, and it is not known that most people will be involved behind the scenes.

But anyone who knows a little about the second-hand bookstore incident knows very well that there is a lot of information on the surface now, but it is by no means a good time to buy and sell information.

It's a time of rumour!

The Imperial Dragon Academy, the Jixiang Academy, the Imperial Forest Army, the Eastern Jinwei, and all the official forces of the Heavenly Capital are staring at the so-called cultivators, and anyone who dares to make a change will get into trouble that cannot be cleared, even if it is from the Heavenly Prison, it will be peeled off.

However, the more such periods there are, the more you can make a lot of money. There are too many people out there who want to know the story of the second-hand bookstore incident and the details inside, so most people are walking on thin ice and waiting for the opportunity.

Shun Er sat on the empty third floor of the building, combing through the events of the past few days over and over again.

"It's the dark fire of the South. But a single dark fire was not enough to organize this event. Jixiang Yuan, Yulong Yuan, and Royal Forest Army, all of these three forces have assistance, and the level will not be low, and even Dongjin Palace will inevitably participate in it. If this matter is really investigated, it will be like a root pulled out, and no one knows where it will be implicated. ”

"A lot of people won't want to see it, but there will be a lot of people who want to see it. ”

"It's not up to me to decide how this event goes. What I need to do is to solve the hidden danger for Xiao Ningye. ”

"Southland, Dark Fire ......"

The Dark Fire Organization, which has been hit hard, will not return to the Heavenly Capital in a short time, but it may not be able to rely on other forces. What's more, there are many doubts in this incident that cannot be explained, and there is definitely not only a single force in the Southern Secret Fire.

Shun Er's hair hurt when he thought about it, so he had to take a sip of tea and be quiet.

"I don't know how Xiao Ning Ye is now?"

Following the traces left by Hu Ran to the end of a remote alley in the west of the city, the person who caught up with him on the day of the incident quietly evaporated, and he didn't have to think about it to know what was going on. Originally, he wanted to send someone again, but Qingteng Yuan never replied, he thought about it again and again, and did not send anyone over.

Shang Chonggu of Qingteng Garden didn't make any movement when he knew Ning Du's whereabouts, so there were only two possibilities: one was that he didn't have to go, and the other was that he couldn't go. Shun Er is more convinced that it is the latter.

"Xiao Ningye, you will definitely be able to become a legend of the Ming Dynasty, and you will be fine before that. ”

After being silent for a while, Shun Er began to call people in to assign tasks.

......

Hu Ran woke up in hunger, looked at the simple beams, and suddenly had the illusion of returning to begging.

"Are you awake, do you want to drink water?" asked Xi'er hurriedly.

"Hungry ......" Hu Ran looked at Xi'er directly, as if the other party could also eat.

Xi'er glanced down at the bowl of water she was holding in her hand, and said in a very small voice: "I'm sorry for you, there is nothing to eat at home......" Hu Ran didn't hear Xi'er's words, and only repeated the word "hungry".

Xi'er saw Hu Ran's painful appearance, she couldn't bear it, she stood up and began to search for valuable things at home, but there were only a few things to search around, and she couldn't exchange much money at all.

Holding the bowl of cold water for a long time, Xi'er bent down and touched the slender silver ring on her ankle. She hesitated for a long time, then ran out, ran to the door and turned back to put down the water bowl before going out.

After a long time, Xi'er ran back with the hot sugar triangle, hurriedly tore a corner, dipped the sugar in it with the edge, and fed it to Hu Ran little by little.

Hu Ran ate four sugar triangles before she was full, she had never eaten such a fragrant and sweet sugar triangle, and her heart was greatly satisfied.

But as soon as the stomach problem was solved, the pain came up, and Hu Ran muttered, revealing a painful expression.

"What's the matter, Hu Ran?" asked Xi'er hurriedly.

"Hurt ......"

Xi'er hurriedly put down the water bowl and looked at Hu Ran anxiously, not knowing what to do. Xi'er, who has a problem with eating, has no money to hire a doctor.

Hu Ran struggled for a while, and fatigue hit, and she fell asleep again.

Cold sweat broke out on Xi'er's forehead, she carefully lifted the quilt, looked at the soles of Hu Ran's feet again, her face couldn't bear it, she didn't dare to think about how it hurt to burn like this.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, which frightened Xi'er to let go of the quilt and curl up her hands to her chest. She looked uneasily at the sleeping Hu Ran and the direction of the door.

"It's me, your aunt!"

Xi'er heard a familiar voice, so she was relieved, and glanced at Hu Ran and Ning Du before walking out and opening the door.

Aunt Wang seemed to have arrived at her own house, and as soon as Xi'er opened the door, she broke in by herself, and said as she walked: "What's going on with you these days, you haven't done any business? If you don't make some more money, what will you do to pay the rent? Also, let me tell you, you have to find someone to find a home quickly! Last time I introduced you to that old Yuan, were you not satisfied or what? Lao Yuan is indeed older, but his family is well-off, and when the time comes, you will make him a small one, so you don't have to suffer all this, what a good family affair, what are you hesitating about?"

Walking into the second gate like a wind, Aunt Wang was startled as soon as she entered, and hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Xi'er, what are you doing here! Why are there suddenly two more people in your house? My God! What are you doing here!"

Xi'er closed the door and walked in, and said timidly, "The two of them fell at the door, and I carried them back when I saw that they were pitiful." ”

Aunt Wang suddenly became anxious, stretched out her finger and pointed at Xi'er's head and reprimanded: "Xi'er, Xi'er, do you say that you have something wrong with your brain! But how can anyone with a little brain do such a thing? There are so many people starving to death every day in the capital, is it possible that you have to bring it home? Your Xi'er's kindness is really big enough! I don't look at what your identity is, you think you are a rich lady, and you are a mud bodhisattva crossing the river -- you can't protect yourself and still have the leisure to take care of others?"

Xi'er, who was even more timid by the words like a cannonball, was like a child who had made a mistake, and she kept her head down and didn't speak.

Aunt Wang stepped forward to take a look and said: "Look at this, there is only the breath that comes out and there is no breath in, and there is no possibility of life, I advise you, hurry up and throw these two people out, otherwise they will die in your house when the time comes, and you won't be able to tell!" Xi'er shook her head.

"I said you, what's the picture?"

Xi'er couldn't think of what she was trying to do, she just couldn't bear to freeze to death on the street with Hu Ran. If she hadn't saved the two of them, I'm afraid she wouldn't have had a good time.

Seeing that Xi'er had never spoken, Aunt Wang became angry and turned around the room and said, "You don't look at yourself, what have you fallen to? You still have the mind to care about others? Look at your rice jar, where is there still a grain of rice? You say that you live like this, are you ashamed? You say that you come to look for your brother every day, but what about your brother? I haven't found you for two years! And what pair of silver anklets, where is it?"

Xi'er subconsciously stepped back, but she didn't want Aunt Wang to rush over in a big step, lifting her trouser legs, revealing her ankles that she was wearing nothing.

"Where's your silver anklet?"

"Sold. Xi'er bit her lip and said.

"Where's the money?"

"Bought food. ”

"Oops!" Aunt Wang stomped her feet in anger, and she suddenly turned around and rushed towards Ning Du and Hu Ran. "It's all these two little obstacles! I really don't know how you are so obsessed! You have to pull these two burdens! Okay, good! If you refuse to throw them out, I will throw them for you! I will do evil things for you! I will bear the notoriety!"

When Xi'er heard what Aunt Wang said, she panicked and hurriedly stopped in front of the other party.

"What are you doing, do you really want to leave these two people here? Let me tell you, you think clearly, you even sold silver anklets, can you feed three mouths? Can you? Stay with you, not starve to death!" Aunt Wang brutally pulled Xi'er and directly pulled the other party to the ground, she grabbed Hu Ran on the bed, causing the other party to let out a painful moan.

As soon as Xi'er heard Hu Ran's moan, she immediately got up from the ground, recaptured Hu Ran, and didn't know where the strength came from, and pushed the five big and three thick Aunt Wang out.

Aunt Wang stumbled and almost fell to the ground, she looked at Xi'er angrily, rushed up and slapped the other party, and said: "Okay, good! You dare not listen to me! I want to see how you starved to death here! Don't come to me on your knees when the time comes!"

Aunt Wang, who was furious, walked outside, destroying everything that could be destroyed along the way, and she wanted to pull down the door so that the cold wind could freeze to death the people inside.

Xi'er listened to Aunt Wang's scolding getting more and more ugly, her face became ugly, she put Hu Ran away, covered the quilt, went out and closed the door, put away everything along the way, and returned to the cold room, she couldn't help but sigh.

......

Aunt Wang rushed home angrily, sitting on a stool, her chest rising and falling rapidly.

"What's the matter, it's not negotiated?" Aunt Wang's husband said slowly, smoking a cigarette gun.

"The little girl is against her, and she dares to do it with the old lady!"

"Where can she beat you with that body? You can't afford to lose anyway. She shouldn't have done that?"

"Hmph, she shouldn't, she should be, she shouldn't!"

"Old man Yuan's money is not easy to take, if this matter cannot be done, he will come to our family for trouble, and it will not be easy to return the money when the time comes. ”

"Refund the money, what to refund! That little girl can still turn the other way! Just let her go for two days, I will see if she can be so hungry that she will come and beg for mercy!"
