Laboriously opened his eyes, slightly tilted his head, was an innocent little boy, wearing a black felt hat, sitting on the edge of the bed, supporting his head with both hands, blinking black and white, obsidian-like smart eyes, motionless and seriously guarding her.

"Are you awake?"

Seeing that she finally woke up, the young man seemed very happy, and hurriedly brought a bowl of yellow-bottomed decoction that was still steaming from the small table beside him, with a little round slices of American ginseng floating.

He didn't let her get up, took out a handkerchief, carefully tucked it on her chest, and began to spoon by spoonful, and carefully fed her medicine.

Looking at "him" meticulously and trying his best to take care of his expression, although Yuan Dieyi was in an unfamiliar environment, he felt that "he" had no malice, but was at ease.

This is one of the charms of Xiao Tang, but it is difficult for anyone who comes into contact with her to associate her with the word bad.

This is the innocence and purity of the initial state.

Feed it one bite at a time until the medicine bowl reaches the bottom, and it is done, Xiao Tang took the things and went out satisfied.

As soon as this decoction entered his throat, Yuan Dieyi felt a warm current wandering through his body, and soon recovered some strength.

With the recovery of strength, it was still belated, and suddenly like a tidal wave of her painful memory, she struggled to get up from the bed, stumbled out of the bed, and opened the door to go out.

"My body is so weak, where are I going?"

However, after taking two steps out, he fell into the arms of the masked man he saw for the first time, Qiao Jinxin.

"Child, my child!"

She muttered to herself, still in a trance.

"You can raise it here with peace of mind, and the child will be brought to you in two days."

Qiao Jinxin swore a promise, helped her and turned back to the house.

"I haven't eaten for so long, so let's take some light rice porridge to recuperate."

He sent the man to the bed, settled down, took a small bowl of porridge, and began to feed him with the same care.

"Please! Please, please......"

Yuan Dieyi didn't open her mouth, but stubbornly repeated chanting, and she entered a dead circle in a daze.

Qiao Jinxin put down the small bowl in his hand and sighed heavily.

"Okay, I promise you that I'll bring the baby back to you now, but you have to promise me to eat everything that has been sent here before I come back."

"Tachibana! You take care of the people, I'll go out. ”

"Hmm!"

Tachibana nodded vigorously.

Qiao Jinxin walked out of the house, turned around through the crack in the door, looked at the people sitting on the bed in the house, and had already begun to serve the bowl directly, regardless of whether it was hot or not, he drank it all with his neck up, so he was not without regret and sadness, so he covered the door of the house, and was very embarrassed.

Although the capital is large, there are ways to get news as long as you make money.

"The one you are talking about is Chunsheng, who lives near here, do you see, there is a village in front of you, there is a village, people who have fled the famine, smokers, white wipes, hard work, poor prostitutes who have contracted dirty diseases, and all kinds of people are there. You have to be more careful when you go there, there are a lot of thieves there, and you dare to rob them in broad daylight. ”

"Okay, okay, thank you."

Qiao Jinxin, who had a general understanding of the situation, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, got up to say goodbye, and before leaving, he took out a silver ingot from his trouser pocket and slapped it on the table.

"Master, come often!"

When the stall owner saw this big silver ingot, he smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face bloomed, and he hurriedly cleaned up the stall and stopped doing business.

Also following Qiao Jinxin from the wonton spread out, there was also a thin black boy wearing a straw hat.

In the endless crowd, he stared closely at the figure of Qiao Jinxin, who was moving forward unhurriedly.

Qiao Jinxin squatted down suddenly, deliberately pretended to dust off the shiny leather shoes with his hands, and really aimed at the one with his spare light, a little panicked, and pulled down the brim of the straw hat with his hand to cover the young man.

The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, thinking that she had taken the bait.

After a moment's delay in the spot, she suddenly got up and dodged into a deep alley in a few steps.

The thin black boy waited for a while, and when he looked up again, he found that the person was gone, and immediately hurriedly searched around the crowd, he must not let this mouthy fat fly like this.

After looking around, he turned into this alley as Qiao Jinxin expected.

"Looking for someone?"

"Are you looking for me?"

When the young man saw the person slowly coming out of the darkness, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately took out the knife from his arms, held it skillfully in his hand, and threatened in an unkind tone.

"Hand over all the valuable things on you, or don't blame me for being unkind."

"What's the matter, if it's revealed, it's just changed to robbery?"

"How about you take me to your village and I'll give you all the money?"

Qiao Jinxin was not annoyed, and still communicated with him in a good voice.

"Stop talking nonsense, hand over all the money!"

The young man simply ignored it, and still shouted arrogantly.

"Why don't you listen?"

Qiao Jinxin shook his head, and in desperation, he opened his jacket and reached in to dig it out.

The young man looked expectant, thinking that she was going to pay for a large denomination of silver tickets or silver ingots, and also relaxed his vigilance.

Who knows, in the next second, two high-speed spinning darts suddenly flew towards him, so fast that no one could react, so they were very accurate, one knocked down the white-edged knife in his hand, and the other hit the knee.

He knelt heavily on the ground, fortunately, the dart was only flat and in contact with his knee and wrist, and the pain was painful, but it was not difficult to see that the dart player was absolutely merciful.

"You can always take me into the village now, right?"

From beginning to end, Qiao Jinxin only had this one appeal.

There is a person from the village, so it is convenient for her to find someone quickly and complete the entrustment.

"What are you going to do in the village? Is it to kill and hire a murderer? Or did you commit a crime and spend money to find someone to squat in prison to face the crime? ”

The boy frowned, barely standing up, enduring the faint pain in his bones that was still there.

"Yo, it turns out that they are all doing this kind of business. But don't worry, it's not as dangerous as you think, I'm just here to find someone. ”

"Looking for someone? Who to look for? ”

The young man was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that Qiao Jinxin's purpose was so simple.

"Chunsheng, do you know each other?"

"Chunsheng? Just that drama that can't go on? ”

"You know?"

"Come with me."

The young man was not a big traitor in the first place, but after being taught a little lesson by Qiao Jinxin, he died down, but became well-behaved.

He finally stood up, limped, landed on one leg, and slowly led the way ahead.

Far from the hustle and bustle, this village is far from a paradise, just a slum.

Seeing that outsiders came in, the skinny wild dogs were the first to bark, and the whole village was built up of broken earth and stones, and some people's doors were rotten and hung on the frames, and the dirt roads under their feet were always potholed and uneven, and they had to be careful to step on feces and urine.

There are also people who raise livestock, chickens and ducks, but they are just mixed with people's food and shelter, and the whole village is filled with an indescribable smell of unspeakable commotion.

Qiao Jinxin walked all the way, and almost vomited out a few times, so he just pushed back. There were also many people in the village, carrying hoes, poles, and bags of cigarette pots.

As long as the two of them passed, there must be a yellow-faced and thin-skinned person who stopped indifferently, stared at the blue and yellow eyes, and stared at them in a daze.

Chunsheng's place to live was easy to find, and the sound of the child crying from time to time spread far away, and after following the sound, he came to a low wall.

"This is it."

The teenager's task was completed, and he turned his head and made a serious request to Qiao Jinxin.

"I don't want any money."

"You think it's beautiful, I can really touch the money for you."

"Can you teach me your dart skills?"

He spread out his tightly clenched hand, and in his palm were the two small darts that Qiao Jinxin used to teach him a lesson just now.

Qiao Jinxin smiled.

Feelings, this kid is in love with her amazing craftsmanship.

"See?"

She likewise stretched out her hand to the young man.

"What?"

"These calluses and wounds on my hands. This is all all these years of hard practice of dart, left, you have suffered this hardship? ”

"I have suffered from hunger and cold, with a leather whip the thickness of my thumb, in a prison, and with tongs. It's a small sin. ”

The young man rolled up his sleeves proudly, covered with long, terrible scars as ugly as snakes, some of which had not yet scabbed, and looked like new injuries that had just been suffered in the near future.

"What's your name?"

Qiao Jinxin looked at the shocking scars and was silent for a while, very unbearable.

"My name is Dali, and my mother said that boys should have a lot of strength!"

As he spoke, he also deliberately lifted his breath, showed off the biceps that he didn't have at all, and slapped his other hand to prove his so-called strength.

"What about you, what's your name? Uncle Chen said that people in the rivers and lakes must exchange names. ”

"Qiao Ming!"

"You are the third master Qiao mentioned in Uncle Chen's book?"

"What, you still know me?"

Qiao Jinxin was a little surprised.

"Bump!"

The old door was violently kicked open, interrupting the conversation between the two. The bearded man, with his head unkempt, hurried with a crying baby in his arms.

"Stop!"

Seeing people come out, Qiao Jinxin shouted, but this Chunsheng didn't pay attention to it at all, and ran faster with his head down.

"He can't afford to smoke a lot of cigarettes and want to sell his son, right?"

Dali muttered quietly to the side, sighing and shaking his head.

"What do you say? You repeat? ”

Qiao Jinxin dragged him, unable to believe it.

"You see, that direction is Lai Mazi's house, and the village knows that Lai Mazi's livelihood is to sell children and women. The boy will be able to sell it for a good price. ”

"Is this beast crazy? The wife who sold it, and the son who sold it? ”

"Dali, you lead the way, if I don't peel off this beast today, I won't be surnamed Joe!"

"Good!"

Lai Mazi is also a master who sells and sucks.

Although the house is surrounded by four walls, there are many kinds of smoke guns and clay of different purities. He was the one who took the road in the first place.

"How's it going, is this new cigarette strong enough?"

In the midst of the smoke, two men lying on their knots had arrived at the forbidden place of selflessness, and the crying children, together with swaddling clothes, were just casually resting on the greasy hard table.

"You two pigs and dogs are not as good as beasts!"

Qiao Jinxin, who broke into the door, was two darts again, and the hands of the two people holding the smoking gun on the couch were suddenly dripping with blood, and the skin and flesh were cut open, and the bones were visible.

"Ahhh

"Child, I took it away, a person like you is not worthy of being a father."
