Chapter XXXVII

Chen Xunyi put his hands in his coat pockets, walked slowly on the street, thought about it for a while, stopped, and bought it! He was about to go back to the light shop.

"Do you need lamps in the operating room?"

Chen Xunyi followed the voice and looked to the side, a young man who was only up to his shoulder was standing there, his clothes were dirty stains, and there were many scars on his arms.

"You are..."

"My family is a lighting store, and there are a lot of other equipment, do you want to go and see, the price is very cheap!"

"Really! Hurry up and show me around! Chen Xunyi leaned down and looked at the young man with excited eyes.

"Here! Over here! The young man raised his hand, pointed ahead, and motioned for him to follow.

Chen Xunyi followed the young man towards the end of the street, getting closer and closer to the flea area, he wondered a little, the commercial avenue was almost at the end, but he still didn't go to the lamp shop.

"Young man!" He shouted from behind, "Where the hell is the store you are talking about, it's almost the end." ”

"Right around the corner!" The young man pointed ahead.

Chen Xunyi's gaze followed the point, and the corner of the street seemed to be a small alley, where an electric pole stood, covered with dense wires, like spider webs.

Will there be a shop in that place? He slowed down and glanced around alertly, this guy was lying!

The young man walked slowly forward, beckoning to him from time to time.

Chen Xunyi stopped and stepped back, he had a hunch that this must be a trap.

Just as he stepped back, several people suddenly appeared in the crowd walking beside him and surrounded him, while a sharp object was pressed against his back.

"Go down the alley!" The voice urged him as it shoved him forward with its hand.

"I'm an anatomist at the Border Wall Guard! You guys... ”

"Less nonsense!" Someone pushed him harder in the back.

Chen Xunyi staggered forward a few steps, he steadied himself, and just wanted to turn around and reason with the person who threatened him.

A man whispered in his ear, "Get over here!" Otherwise, this knife will be stained with blood! ”

Chen Xunyi was half-pushed into the alley, the other party had the advantage in numbers, and his life would definitely be in danger if he forcibly escaped.

He was pressed against the wall next to the garbage can, which was covered in stains and stinky sewage running under his feet.

The cold-glowing, sharp-edged dagger was pressed against his neck, and two young men on the left and right groped in his pockets.

"I'm really a member of the guards, and I'm on a mission right now, and you're going to be arrested for doing this."

"That's all the money!" An emaciated thug pulled out the money from his pocket.

Chen Xunyi reached out and grabbed the gangster's hand, "This money is very important to me, you can't... ”

"Let go!" The thug who got the knife widened his eyes and roared viciously.

"Don't you ask for money? Let me go, and I will... ”

A fist slammed into the bridge of Chen Xunyi's nose, and he let go of his hand and covered his bleeding nose.

"Are you stupid when we are? Let you go, so you can find the guards to arrest us. The thug with the knife spat to the side, "Can you see clearly next time and find a big fish, this money is only enough for two days." ”

The familiar voice came from behind the thug, "I see he's been looking for things in different stores, and he should bring a lot of money." ”

The thug with the knife leaned over, slapped it back hard, and with a snap, knocked the young man he brought to the ground, "Useless guy! ”

Chen Xunyi wiped the blood under his nose vigorously, and put his hand in front of his neck, "You can't take this money!" ”

"You've got a lot to say!"

Chen Xunyi glanced at the trash can on the side, this money still has to buy a lot of things, and it can't be taken away like that!

He reached out and pulled the black bag, which he found to be a bit heavy, and then quickly lifted the black bag and threw it towards the head of the knife-wielding thug.

The knife-wielding thug didn't react in time, and his head was hit hard and fell to one side.

The knife placed on Chen Xunyi's neck quickly slashed through his palm, and blood gushed out of the wound like a flood.

Chen Xunyi clenched his fists and continued to wave the black bag, so that the little thugs surrounding him did not dare to step forward.

"Kill him for me!" The knife-wielding thug covered his bleeding head and glared at him with a vicious look.

Suddenly, the black bag flew softly in the air like a deflated balloon, and the hard objects inside had flown to the side.

Chen Xunyi put the black bag in front of his eyes and shook it vigorously a few times, it's too bad!

Punches and kicks rained down on his body and thighs, and he leaned against the wall, cowering, and now regretting that he had put his knife in the grocery store.

"You go to die!" The thug with the knife stepped forward, and the cold light slashed through the blade of the dagger, and the sharp edge of the knife stabbed at him.

"Guards! Something is wrong here! ”

The thug with the knife stopped what he was doing, and he quickly waved his hand, "Hurry up!" The thugs ran deeper into the alley.

Chen Xunyi's body was hit a lot, he felt pain all over his body, and one side of his face was also red.

"Are you alright?" A gentle voice asked.

Chen Xunyi rubbed his shoulders and glanced at the person standing in front of him, this woman of his age was wearing a wide brown coat on the outside, a light blue long-sleeved shirt and brown trousers inside, dressed as a cleaning worker.

The years had carved wrinkles under her countenance, and her delicate face looked dirty, with a ponytail combed behind her head, and scattered broken hair flying on her face.

Although her clothes and face are dirty, it is difficult to hide the charm of a mature woman that she exudes.

"Where are the guards? My money was robbed! ”

"There are no guards, this glass bottle rolls under my feet, and when I see you being beaten, I shout, pretend that the guards are coming!"

Chen Xunyi leaned against the wall and sighed at the sky, what a horse! Bastard! If I had bought the lamp earlier...

"My money has been robbed, and I want to find a guard."

"Hmm!" The woman hesitated for a moment, "From my personal experience, you still don't have to go to the guards, in the case of the flea area, the guards here usually don't care much, unless you have someone you know!" ”

"But my money was robbed!"

"Oh! If you die, the guards will be the first to arrive! ”

Chen Xunyi felt a little incomprehensible, the woman's words were a little heart-wrenching, he shook his head, took two steps forward, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in his head, and he couldn't stand still.

Chen Xunyi felt a soft, calloused palm grasp his arm.

"Are you really okay?"

Chen Xunyi squatted down, clutching his head with both hands, he fell into a deep self-blame, if I had bought that lamp earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble! Stupidity! Stupidity! Stupid choice, my current result, is completely self-inflicted!

"Hey!" The woman patted him on the shoulder!

"Go away! Leave me alone! Chen Xunyi roared angrily, his anger burst out, ignoring the wound on his palm, and smashed a few punches to the ground.

He gasped for air, his fist already broken, the dirt on the ground mixed with his blood, and an arm reached out from the top of his head, placing the glass bottle in front of him.

"It was this glass bottle that made me notice you!" The woman squatted down, holding a green leaf with purple meridians in her hand, she grabbed Chen Xunyi's palm in her hand, wrapped the wound and the broken skin with the leaf, and then took out the gauze from her pocket and wrapped it around a few times and tied a bow! "This bottle?"

"It's useless!"

The woman put the bottle in her tricycle body.

Chen Xunyi felt very guilty in his heart, I actually got angry at someone who saved my life, "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have yelled at you just now, I should have kept my emotions in check! ”

The woman stood up and shrugged, "It's okay! That money must be important to you, and your anger is rightfully so. ”

"My life is at stake! And... Chen Xunyi thought about it and didn't say any more.

"Then you're still going to go to the guards to report the crime?"
