Chapter 62: Persecution
The door to the apartment was opened, and a group of girls in fashionable clothes streamed in. They formed a circle around Yuan Qi, like a group of birds around the phoenix, chirping to show their presence in the flock.
"Sister Yuan, when my brother called me just now, he really scared me, you can't just pick up some people in the wilderness to go home, they are greedy and vulgar, who knows what they will do to you?"
A petite woman squeezed in front of Yuan Qi and patted her chest exaggeratedly. Her movements made the thick foundation on her face shake off.
In the eyes of the new Linfen people, the people outside the city are all Rumao blood-drinking savages.
"Xiao Chu, can you get the sheriff's investigation file through your brother?"
Yuan Qi's eyebrows furrowed, she was in a bad mood now. This group of friends in the social circle suddenly found her in a swarm, and invariably brought the news of Li Mu's burglary and cruel murder.
She was skeptical of the news. Li Mu didn't look like that kind of vicious person, even if he committed a crime, he would not be unwise to commit a crime so close to the apartment. And this time, the sheriff's reaction was a little too fast.
At this moment, the door of the apartment suddenly opened, and Li Mei and Li Xuan walked out of it. Because they were distressed about wearing old and new clothes, they wore shabby coarse cotton clothes and carried tattered cotton bags on their backs. The two of them stared blankly at the group of girls who broke in.
When the girls saw the two of them, they immediately changed their faces and changed their expressions, and they looked at them with disgust and horror, as if they had seen some monster.
The gazes of these people made Li Mei feel very uncomfortable, and she nodded at Yuan Qi in the crowd.
"Miss Yuan, I've troubled you for the past two days, let's leave."
The girl who was surrounding Yuan Qi suddenly showed a surprised expression on her face, in her heart, these untouchables in the wilderness would definitely stay in the apartment with a dead face. In fact, she called so many sisters over just to give Yuan Qi courage and drive them away.
"You don't need to leave, you can stay as long as you want, you two girls are too unreassuring to be outside."
A faint look of worry appeared on Yuan Qi's face, and she pressed the girl who wanted to stop her. The chaotic new Linfen is very dangerous for women.
"No need, I've caused you so much trouble in the past two days, and I can't help it."
Li Mei was suddenly stunned, she saw Yang Xiaoye who was shrinking behind the crowd.
Now Yang Xiaoye no longer has the embarrassment and despair of being a slave girl before. She wore a new coat and carried more than a dozen bags in both hands. It's all the clothes that Yuan Qi went out to shop and sold.
Li Mei's gaze made her shrink for a moment, and Feng Leshan, who was unscrupulous and domineering on platform 75, disappeared in an instant in the hands of Li Mu and Li Mei. This made her fear of the two almost imprinted in her heart.
Her experience as a child taught her that the weak should be attached to the strong by nature. Li Mu was the strongest person she had ever seen at that time, so she firmly tied herself to her body. If it weren't for Li Mei being between the two, she would even be ready to dedicate herself.
After coming to Xinlinfen, everything here opened her eyes. Feng Leshan, who was originally invincible, was just a frog at the bottom of the well, and Li Mu, who killed him, was just a nobody in Xinlinfen. Instinct made her subconsciously start to alienate Li Mu and get closer to Yuan Qi.
Life in the wilderness has honed her ability to read words and looks. This allowed her to quickly seize the opportunity of Yuan Qi to go shopping and need a female companion to carry a bag. I went out with her early. During this period, she received the news that Li Mu was captured by the sheriff, which made her secretly happy. This is a good opportunity to break away from Li Mu.
Thinking of this, she plucked up her courage again, and looked at Li Mei not to be outdone.
"Wait! I know why you left so simply, open your rotten bag and let us see, you must have rolled up a lot of stuff hidden in the bag! ”
The petite woman had a smug expression on her face that saw through Li Mei. These serfs in the wilderness were born thieves and prostitutes, how could they leave so simply.
Li Meiqiang's calm face suddenly turned red, she looked at the annoying woman angrily, leaned forward, and rushed into the crown angrily. His hand even gripped tightly on the hilt of the cotton bag behind him.
It is common for the people of Zhuxia in the colony to be light-hearted, disagree, and splash blood for five steps.
Li Mei's gaze made the petite woman winkle for a moment, and an instinctive sense of fear rose from the bottom of her heart. She stiffened her face and did not retreat, but her eyes looked left and right, and she looked at Yang Xiaoye, who was hiding behind the crowd, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"You, go up and see how many Sister Yuan's things have been stolen by this cheap maid in the wilderness."
Yang Xiaoye's scalp suddenly went numb, she knew that Li Mu and Li Mei were murderous outlaws. But she had to step up.
"Sister Li Mei, I know that you will never steal anything, and there is nothing to open the bag for everyone to see."
An unnatural sneer appeared on her face, her hands hidden behind her back, rubbing the corners of her clothes uneasily
Li Mei took a deep breath, pressed the anger surging in her heart, put the cotton bag on her back on the ground, and said through gritted teeth
"If I didn't steal something, you need to apologize to me."
Yang Xiaoye opened the cotton bag and turned out all the contents inside.
Looking at those tattered cotton clothes and shoes, the petite woman suddenly pinched her nose, as if she was smoked by the contents of it.
"And what about the bag?"
The petite woman pointed to the bag on Li Xuan's back. Li Xuan immediately hugged the small bag on his back in his arms and looked at her angrily. This bag is my brother's bag, and it is full of important things for my brother, how can I let others rummage through it before my brother comes back.
"Hmph, the robber's sister is really a thief!"
For a little girl, the courage in her heart suddenly came out, and she stepped forward and grabbed the bag.
"Give it to me!"
"Don't give it!"
The two tore their bags, and when Li Mei saw this, her angry willow eyebrows rose upside down, and as soon as she grabbed the hilt of the sword, she was about to pull out the sword.
"Tear up!" With a bang, the worn-out bag was directly torn in half by the two of them, and a bunch of novels with gaudy covers spilled out of it and fell to the ground.
The petite woman looked at the books on the ground and looked at the two of them with a clear expression. Even Yuan Qi, who wanted to stop it, stopped looking at these books and looked at Li Mei with a frown.
"Hmph, it's disgusting to carry so many of these books with you, you are really prisoners."
The green tendons on Li Mei's forehead trembled, for her, who had never read a book, books were the most precious thing. She hurriedly crouched on the ground, picked up all the books, carefully dusted them off, and put them back in her bag.
"I'll make you regret it."
She stood up and forced her eyes on everyone.
ps: This chapter is not smooth, the state is not at all, and the foreshadowing left before is not good, and I look uncomfortable myself. But it can only be sent out first, and then it is changed again.
