"This...", Night Star didn't know what to say, so he simply turned sideways, took a few steps to the side, and gave way to the position behind him. At this time, Yan Jin saw that on the ground not far behind Ye Xingchen, there were two people, one large and one small, sitting.

Ye Xingchen looked at Yan Jin's slightly puzzled expression, and hurriedly explained, "Master Su, here's the thing, this eldest brother took his child to look for relatives in other places and passed by here, and accidentally stole his money bag, he and the child have not eaten for two or three days, we just thought about making some money for them, so that they can find their relatives as soon as possible, and avoid the pain of sleeping and starving in the open air." ”

After listening to Ye Xingchen's words, Yan Jin narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Oh, is that so?" After finishing speaking, he looked at the gray-faced man sitting on the ground at this time with a playful face, only to see that his hair was unkempt, and the clothes on his body were dirty, and he really looked a little down. It's just that at this time, Yan Jin was interested in the child sitting beside him, the child didn't look big, only six or seven years old, dressed in goose-yellow clothes, the tiger head hat on his head looked particularly cute, a pair of greasy little hands holding a broken bowl, and there were a few copper coins lying in the bowl, although he was lowering his head, but Yan Jin could still think that his face must be greasy at this time, if he guessed correctly, it should still have the fragrance of pig's trotters.

Yan Jin stepped forward, squatted down, looked at the lively tiger head hat on the child's head, and asked softly, "Little doll, are the pig's trotters delicious?" ”

When the child heard Yan Jin's words, he lowered his head and raised it, Yan Jin unexpectedly saw the oil stains on his mouth and cheeks, only to see him looking up at Yan Jin with a pair of eyes, nodding vigorously, and happily replied, "It's delicious." ”

Ye Xingchen was still at a loss when he heard Yan Jin's words at first, but when he heard the child's answer, he instantly understood Yan Jin's intentions, and immediately glared at the man over there with a surprised and uneasy expression, and asked, "Don't you have no money?" Haven't you been hungry for days? ”

The man didn't seem to expect the child to say something like that, and he didn't say a word for a long time, and his face was blue and purple, becoming more and more ugly.

Night Xingchen is not the kind of person who does not forgive, and besides, they are in a hurry, and this is not a big matter that hurts the heavens and reason, he thought about teaching a few words and ending the matter quickly.

"Snap", before Ye Xingchen could speak, he saw that the man in front of him suddenly raised his hand and slapped the child next to him in the face, and after the beating, he scolded angrily, "Fuck, didn't you tell me that you were a stinky begging for food?" Where did you get the money to buy pig's trotters to eat? It's a good thing to ruin Lao Tzu, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you today! ”

The child was staggered to the side by the man's sudden slap, but he did not fall, only to see five finger prints on one side of his face instantly swollen, but although he was slapped, the child did not run away, and still stood there motionless. He raised his head and squinted at the man, a flash of ridicule and disdain in his eyes, but he was speechless.

Yan Jin pulled the child to his side and blocked him behind him, Ye Xingchen hurriedly stepped forward and put the sword in his hand against the man who was about to rush towards Yan Jin again, and said sharply, "I warn you, if you beat someone again, don't blame me for being rude!" ”

The man saw that there were many people in Yan Jin's party, and they seemed to be extraordinary, so he had to withdraw his fist, pointed at the child behind Yan Jin and scolded, "Count your kid lucky today, see how I clean you up in the future", and then said to Yan Jin and them, "And you, be nosy, don't let Lao Tzu see you again." ”

Waiting for the man to scold and walk away, Yan Jin thought that the man was extremely ruthless just now, and just wanted to take a look at the injury on the child's face, turned his head, but found that there was no one behind him, where were there any children. At this time, Ye Xingchen also found that the child was gone, so he immediately looked around, but he didn't see the child.

"That kid doesn't look like a homeless kid who needs to worry about food and clothing, maybe he's going home!" Although he was still a little worried in his heart, at this time, Night Xingchen could only convince himself like this.

Yan Jin looked at the small grease stain on his shirt, thinking that it was left by the child when he was pulling his clothes, but when he saw the child, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, in short, it was weird.

"By the way, Master Su, where did Xiao Nian go, why haven't you seen him all this time?" Ye Xingchen suddenly found that the little boy who had been following Yan Jin before was no longer by his side at this time, and it seemed that he had not seen him since just now.

Yan Jin suddenly remembered that Yan Nian hadn't found it yet, so he hurriedly said, "I don't know where this kid went, I was looking for him just now!" Didn't this just happen to you! ”

Ye Xingchen said, "Master Su doesn't need to worry, Xiao Nian is stable by nature, he is very measured, he won't leave you alone for too long, let's help you find it together, this small city is not big, it will be faster for everyone to find it separately!" ”

"Okay, in this way, no matter whether we find anyone or not, we will still meet here in an hour." Yan Jin pointed to a small restaurant on the side of the street and said.

"Okay."

After separating from Night Star, Yan Jin was still looking around the street, but somehow, he walked and walked, and suddenly got lost. In front of him, the bustling street with constant pedestrians gradually turned into a silent alley, and seeing that there was a high stone wall in front of him, Yan Jin had already walked into a dead end, and he could not climb over the wall, so he could only turn his head and walk back.

Yan Jin just turned around, and before he could take a few steps, suddenly more than a dozen people rushed out from a courtyard gate not far ahead, and the person who was the leader turned his head and was slightly stunned when he saw Yan Jin, and when he found that Yan Jin was just a person at this time, he suddenly showed an evil smile at him.

After Yan Jin saw that person, she sighed in her heart, "It's really a narrow road!" At this time, the person not far away was none other than the man they had just met, he had obviously been changed, and he was no longer the gray-faced person he had just looked, and the clothes on his body were also brand new.

At this time, Feng Shui was obviously completely reversed, the man led a group of people, but Yu Jin became alone. Yan Jin just wanted to turn around and run away, but suddenly thought of the stone wall two or three people high behind him, and he had no choice but to give up.

Yan Jin saw that his only way out had been blocked by more than a dozen people, and they were approaching him step by step, looking at the malicious smiles on the faces of those people, Yan Jin began to unconsciously retreat, but after a while, his back touched a stone wall.

Seeing that Yan Jin had no way out, the man also stopped, looked at Yan Jin for a long time, and said with a smile, "Yo, isn't this the good guy who helped others just now, why, won't you remember me so soon?" What about the others? Didn't I tell you not to let me see you again? Why don't you have such a long memory! Hurry up and send it to me, since this is the case, Lao Tzu will settle the account with you just now! After speaking, the man raised his hand and said to the group of people behind him, "Brothers, go on, give me a hard beating!" ”

After the man finished speaking, a group of people behind him rushed towards Yan Jin, and several of them even had sticks and machetes in their hands.

Yan Jin wanted to shout for help, but at this time he suddenly felt that his throat was tightly choked by someone's hand, and he couldn't say a word, he saw that the first person who rushed up had already swung the machete and slashed at him, in a hurry, Yan Jin could only raise his hands and try to block the knife that was slashing at him.

"Ah Nian, save me!" Yan Jin felt his throat loosen, and finally shouted loudly, and then he jumped up with a "ho", kicked the stool behind him far away, and finally the stool fell to the ground and rolled "grunt" before stopping, and the other tables in the small shop didn't know what was going on, they all looked at Yan Jin, and there were strange looks in their eyes.

"Childe, are you alright?" Yan Nian hurriedly walked to Yan Jin's side and looked at him worriedly.

Yan Jin saw Yan Nian and hurriedly said, "Ah Nian, where did you go?" I've been looking for you for a long time. After speaking, Yan Jin suddenly felt that something was wrong, he looked at himself, then looked around again, and said in his heart, "Hey, this is?" Could it be that I was still dreaming? At this time, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Yan Nian early in the morning, so he wandered around Qiushui City by himself, and then came to the store where he is now, and then somehow fell asleep again? Yan Jin thought about it, he did fall asleep again, he should have had a dream within a dream just now. It's really strange to say, Yan Jin rarely dreams on weekdays, and even if he sometimes does it, he won't remember it, but the dream he just had is very clear, it really seems that he has experienced it himself, everyone has said it, done it, and even the expression on his face He remembers it clearly, and until now his heart has been "plopping" and jumping.

Suddenly, Yan Nian whispered, "Childe, I'm sorry, I didn't find you earlier. ”

Yan Jin touched Yan Nian's head with a smile and said, "Ah Nian, I just accidentally fell asleep just now, I had a dream, it's not a big deal, but you must tell me in advance where you are going in the future, you know?" Good way~"

Yan Nian nodded, looked at Yan Jin, and looked like he wanted to say something.

Yan Jin was still thinking about the dream just now, and said, "Ah Nian, we haven't met the stars in this Qiushui City, right?" Yan Jin was still slightly suspicious in her heart, because the things just now were too real, the real ones were a little scary, and if they were really dreams, they would be too incredible.

Yan Nian said, "Childe, no. ”

"Sure enough, it's a dream!" Yan Jin muttered in a low voice and said, "Ah Nian, I want to eat big pig's trotters, let's go outside and find out where to sell them, right?" ”

"Childe......" Yan Nian looked at Yan Jin, hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said, "Childe, let's go find the pig's trotters first." ”

The two walked on the street, Yan Jin looked around along the way, sniffing his nose gently, trying to follow the fragrance in his dream to find a braised meat shop, and in the end, they searched all over Qiushui City, but they still didn't find a braised meat shop as fragrant as the braised meat stall in their dreams. In the end, Yan Jin was really hungry and didn't want to move, so she could only retreat and order a plate of pig's trotters in an ordinary small restaurant and have a good meal.

After eating and drinking, Yan Jin slumped on the chair, touched her stomach and said slowly, "Ah Nian, do you know how hungry I was in my dream just now, that feeling is like being able to eat a whole pig." ”

Yan Nian looked at Yan Jin, the expression on his face was slightly hesitant, and after half a sound, he only listened to him, "Childe, actually, we are still in a dream now, and you have not woken up." ”
