Chapter 401: Yahiko and Konan
The fat man walked towards Yahiko and Lei Luo menacingly, rolling up his sleeves to reveal a pair of thick arms, and roaring angrily in his mouth. Mobile
Yahiko's face changed, and he subconsciously wanted to continue running, but Xiao Nan became a little strange for some reason, and he didn't want to leave his companions, so he simply stayed where he was and gritted his teeth.
Turning his head slightly to the side, he glanced at the fat man, Lei Luo shook his sleeves, took out a gold ingot, and threw it into the other party's open mouth.
With a whoosh, the gold ingot slashed a straight line in the air, and it took less than a second to reach the target position.
"Oops!"
The foreign body entered the mouth, as if it was stuck in the throat, and at the same time the upper jaw was hit, the fat man let out a cry of pain, and quickly put his hand in his mouth and pulled it out.
When he brought the things in his throat and eyes to him, the fat man's screams stopped abruptly, and he subconsciously looked up, but happened to see Lei Luo impatiently waving his hand at him, as if to say:
I'm in charge of this matter, why don't you get out of here?
The gold ingots in his hand were at least a dozen taels, and the fat man, that is, the owner of the fruit stall, knew how cheap he had picked up this time, so he hurriedly turned around and left, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Taking the whole process into view, and when the back of the fruit stall owner disappeared, Yahiko turned his head and first looked at Lei Luo again, as if he wanted to keep the latter's appearance firmly in his mind.
Then, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly and smiled awkwardly: "That...... Thank you! ”
Yahiko's laughter was hearty, but his face was somewhat unnatural in such a situation where he and his companions did something wrong first, and were helped by others.
Lei Luo also smiled and replied, "It's a small thing." ”
Before the meeting, this strange man had a peaceful attitude, and he did not have any discrimination or disgust towards himself because of what happened before.
Yahiko couldn't help but have a good impression of Lei Luo, and he didn't hesitate at the moment, quickly walked to Xiao Nan's side and squatted, and whispered into the latter's ear at the same time:
"Xiao Nan, wake up, it's okay already."
Perhaps it was the voice of his companion that made his heart glow with a little courage, Xiao Nan raised his head, looked at Lei Luo who was at eye level with her in front of him, and looked at the pair of pitch-black pupils for a second or two, and then ......
Like a frightened rabbit, Xiao Nan quickly lowered his head again, and at the same time trembled slightly, as if he didn't dare to continue to look at Lei Luo, and he didn't even have a complete sentence in his mouth, obviously scared to the extreme.
On the other side, taking Xiao Nan's reaction into his eyes, Yahiko had a guess in his heart, and when he turned around quietly, he pretended to smile bitterly and said to Lei Luo:
"My lord, my companion is not in a good state right now, and I am afraid I will not be able to answer your question."
"Well, how about you look like this...... You leave an address and we'll visit you when my companion is back to normal? ”
Hearing this, Lei Luo first looked at Yahiko for a while, then glanced at Xiao Nan again, and then suddenly stood up and said in a tone that was not salty or light: "This is a good idea, then I will wait for you to come over." ”
As he spoke, Lei Luo leaned into Yahiko's ear and whispered the location of the hotel to the other party, reaching out and patting him on the shoulder, as if signaling Yahiko to relax, as if it contained something else.
After doing these actions, Lei Luo didn't stay any longer, leaving only the words "Don't let me wait too long", and then turned around and left, without looking at Yahiko and Xiao Nan again.
On the other side, seeing the figure of the black-robed man gradually disappearing, and soon disappeared at a corner on the side of the street, Yahiko straightened up, and his face unconsciously crossed a touch of solemnity.
At this moment, a hoarse and weak female voice came into Yahiko's ears: "Mi, Yahiko...... Let's go, quick, hurry up ......"
"Xiao Nan?"
Subconsciously glanced at the companion who grabbed his arm, Yahiko was surprised to find that Xiao Nan's face had turned pale at some point, as if there was no trace of blood.
And her expression at the moment was something Yahiko had never seen before, that feeling, like fear, like despair, and more like a strong sense of powerlessness filled it.
But......
"What the hell is wrong with you? Xiao Nan? ”
"What the hell is going on?"
"That man just now, have you seen him before?"
While reaching out to support the girl next to him, Yahiko's mouth didn't stop for a moment, and several questions were thrown out in a row.
But Xiao Nan didn't answer a single question, she supported the ground with one hand and barely stood up.
Then, when he felt that his legs were gradually regaining sensation, Xiao Nan grabbed Yahiko's wrist violently and ran forward without saying a word.
As for the apples scattered on the ground, which should now be regarded as truly theirs, Xiao Nan didn't seem to pay the slightest attention.
And every step she took while running seemed to be more hurried and urgent than when she had avoided the fruit stall owner before.
That feeling...... It's like you're running for your life.
Because his wrist was pulled, Yahiko also involuntarily followed Xiao Nan to rush wildly.
Half an hour passed quietly......
In this way, the two of them ran out of town, into a nearby wood, and finally into a dimly lit cavern, where they lived.
The cave is small in size, and its living facilities are extremely rudimentary, except for a few large wooden boxes containing food and clothing, and only two thatched beds remain.
Just looking at the location, the conditions here are no different from the slums in the city, but for some reason, Yahiko and Konan did not settle in the nearby slums, but moved their families to this inaccessible area.
At this moment, on the wooden box that served as a table, a candlestick was slowly burning.
Although the dim light of the fire was dim, the entrance to the cave was large, and the breeze that blew in from time to time reflected the surrounding environment.
But Xiao Nan felt surprisingly relieved, she slowly exhaled a long breath, and her nervous mood calmed down a little.
At this time, Yahiko's voice also came at this moment: "Xiao Nan, can you answer my question now?" ”
Raising his head, Xiao Nan stared blankly at his companion for a moment.
Seeing that Yahiko's face was very serious, and there was a faint worry between his eyebrows, Xiao Nan couldn't help but recall: What questions did Yahiko ask before?
The man? Have you seen him before?
Thinking about it, more distant memories gradually appeared in Xiao Nan's mind unconsciously......
