The Imperial City at night is a place of pleasure for people of high status, but for most ordinary people, the night means that they can finally unload their heavy lives and get a moment of relaxation.

The life of ordinary people is extremely difficult, it can be said that in the imperial city of spiritual cultivation everywhere, although there are all kinds of laws to maintain, but in the huge imperial city, there is always a corner that will not be illuminated by the sun.

In this place, people's survival has become more difficult, and with it, people's character is violent.

Li was born in one of the countless dark places in the Imperial City, and of course, in the Imperial City, there is a different name here, the Bed Bug Land.

This is what people call this place, of course, such a place in the imperial city is not allowed to exist above the surface, and the people of the royal family will not be idle and boring to manage these things.

After all, they have given it the greatest guarantee in this world, and these places will not have much value, in the end, they are all benefits.

It is beneficial for the people to relieve trouble, and it is beneficial to issue laws and decrees, regardless of whether it is still a cause of profit.

Of course, everything is not without the slightest hope, for example, if your next generation has a little cultivation talent, then all this can change in an instant.

You can move to a place with a little bit of sunshine and enjoy a little bit of perks.

And in the same way, Li also appeared in such a place, his younger brother had some meager cultivation talents, which was a big deal.

However, for Leigh, this is not something to celebrate, of course, this is my personal opinion, for herself, all this brings some light to her life, after all, it is her brother, the only relative besides his parents.

In the imperial city, Li walked down the street carrying a large bag of lunch boxes, and the further she went, the colder she looked.

The weight of the lunch box is not very heavy, but for an ordinary child, it is still difficult to hold onto, so you can see a small figure in the imperial city, and walk for a while to rest for a while.

Behind Li, Mu Tian followed behind him, looking at the small figure, and wanted to go up to help many times, but remembered what Zheng Xiaoyao said, and stopped.

The night was thicker, and the evening breeze was even colder, but Li didn't feel cold, but felt a little hot.

Carrying things through the Imperial City, he turned into a few alleys, and in a moment, he entered another alley.

Finally, he stopped in a cul-de-sac, removed a few bricks, and revealed a hole in the wall.

This is the place in the Imperial City prepared for everyone, no, this is not appropriate, it should be said that these people who do not want to leave the Imperial City have prepared their own places, and the people of the Imperial City have just added a few rune formations here to insulate sound and smell and so on.

Walked in and filled the bricks again.

Mu Tian's body appeared, with a little anger in his eyes, and through the hole just now, he saw some scenery.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it, and it was really hard to accept that there was such a place in the imperial city.

In his small heart, Mu Tian didn't have much good impression of the people in the imperial city, and even had a little disgust.

But all this is young, if it is a few years later, I don't know if it will be so hot-blooded, and jealous and hateful.

Because, there are thousands of cultivators in the Imperial City, is it true that no one knows these things? Those Spirit Masters and Spirit Monarchs all understand, but all of them are part of this world.

They understand that these things can't be changed by themselves, or rather, they can't change everything, after all, these people can't stay here, there are great places outside the imperial city, they can go, but they themselves chose to refuse.

Perhaps, all this will change, because Mu Tian, or perhaps, what he saw today, Mu Tian will forget in the future.

Compared to the daylight in the imperial city, the walls were much darker.

In the light of a few candles, we can probably see behind the wall.

The dilapidated houses were crammed into a small open space, and there were piles of miscellaneous items in front of and behind the doors.

Looking up, you can't see half of the night sky, only endless black, and you can't see the end of the darkness.

Some crumbling stones lay on the muddy ground, leading to the houses.

Here, everywhere is full of rotten stench, Li is used to being here, there is no discomfort, and she squats down gently.

Grab a handful of smelly dirt, attach it to the lunch box, and then untie your new clothes and replace them with your old ones.

After doing everything, Li, this is the way home to the path made of gravel in front of her.

There is no night or day here, waking up is day, sleeping is night, and when Li returns, it is night.

In the small open space before the broken house, there were still people who did not sleep, sitting on the open space, and making some simple things by candlelight.

These things are the source of income for most people here, and they are inexpensive, but they are enough to survive without being tired.

This is a gathering place for the lowest, a place where there is no hope in sight, and this is a place that is not accepted by the imperial city.

Many people don't understand why the Imperial City would allow it to exist, but it doesn't help, and why these people don't even say anything about leaving.

Hearing the movement, some people did not react, while others looked up, saw that it was Li, and lowered their heads to sit down on the work in their hands.

A woman didn't bow her head, looked at Li, her somewhat numb face pulled out a little smile, and said in greeting: "Li, I'm back, it should be evening." ”

Li responded: "Aunt Cuihua, it's night, and the lights in the city are so beautiful." ”

Thinking about what she heard today, Li's face smiled.

But the woman shook her head, and said no more, as she had been.

Perhaps they heard the movement, and several people came out of several houses one after another, and one of them was a young man who did not look good.

When I saw Li, I said, "It's Li, why did you see any good things today, how about talking to Brother Qiang?"

Seeing the man, Li's eyes were a little afraid, and she stopped talking, and she wanted to walk away and enter the house.

But how could the man spare her so easily, his footsteps moved sideways, blocking in front of Li, seeing the lunch box in his hand, and said with a smile: "What kind of good thing is this, let Brother Qiang taste it." ”

Reaching out is to go up and snatch, because of the dim candlelight, the man did not see the mud on the lunch box, after reaching out, it is naturally stained with dirt all over his hands.

And the soil in this place naturally does not have the so-called earthy fragrance, but the smell is unpleasant.

After contact, he withdrew his hand in disgust, looking at Li in front of him, revealing a little ugly.

And this is also the reason why Rei smeared dirt on the lunch box, which is the survival principle that time has taught her.

Without a good face, the man looked at Li and stretched out his hand, and shouted, "Hand over the money, we saw it today." ”

Liz clutched her waist, where she hid a few silver coins from today's harvest.

Seeing that Li was not interested, the man was a little impatient, and stretched out his hand to force it.

"Your family owes me a few gold coins, and if you don't pay it back, don't blame me for being polite. ”

How dare you speak, and I don't want to think about it, if there are really a few gold coins, will he still stay here?

Seeing this, the people around seemed to have been accustomed to this, and continued to do the work at hand, without even raising their heads.

Only the woman from before, raised her head and looked at Li, as if she was a little unbearable, and said: "Brother Qiang, let's take some time, you know this child's family." ”

"Grace, what's the leniency, the people above ask me for silver, don't I have to find these people to repay the money? Why, you want to change it for him, how about the meat compensation, didn't you repay what you borrowed last time?"

"Hahaha. ”

The man smiled with several yellow-skinned people behind him, looking at the woman with a sparkle in their eyes.

When the woman heard this, she tightened her clothes, said no more, glanced at Li, sighed, took what she was holding, and went back to her room.

Seeing the woman leaving, the man known as Brother Qiang snorted coldly, withdrew his gaze, looked at Li, who was caught by himself, and reached into her waist with his other hand.

"It's only natural to repay debts, if it weren't for my two little brothers to see it, I would really have called you a little girl. ”

"It's still good to be a child, it's pitiful, look at those young masters, so many people have chosen you. ”

Li struggled, because the money had other functions, and naturally the man couldn't be asked to snatch it.

As for the money owed, they only borrowed a few copper coins at the beginning, and when they repaid the money later, these people actually said that their family owed as many as a few gold coins, so that they would take most of their family's income every time.

But what can be done about this, is this place called the Heaven and Earth Meeting?

The way for the family to endure is Li's younger brother, who is the hope of the family and the person who gives Li a trace of family warmth.

Seeing that the man's hand was about to touch the place where he was hiding the money, Li was a little anxious, and the struggling movements were obviously bigger, and at this time she couldn't care about anything else.

The lunch box in his hand fell to the ground with his hand, but the miraculous thing was that the lunch box that should have fallen to the ground actually stopped firmly on the ground, of course, no one would notice this detail.

Rei, who had her hands free, looked heroic, and in a few strokes broke free from the man's hands through her mouth.

There is still purity in a pair of eyes, but it is pure ruthlessness.

The man covered the place where he was bitten by Li, looked at Li, was a little angry, and his anger appeared on his cheeks, and he said in a cold voice: "Little beast, I will sell you to Qinglou today to pay off the debt, anyway, your father has already discussed the matter, I don't care if it is a few years earlier, maybe I can sell a little more when I meet a few masters." ”

The man looked at Li, stretched out his hand and beckoned a few people behind him, and they all rounded up Li.

Rei seemed to be distracted, didn't move, and muttered something.

But all this did not make the men stop their figures, but made them spend a little less effort.

A few rooms away, a middle-aged couple stood, watching Lili surrounded by several people, the woman wanted to step forward but was pulled by the man all the time.

When she heard the man's words, the woman looked back at the man beside her, her eyes full of disbelief.

The man met the woman's gaze and said a few words, but the woman ignored her, as if annoyed, and the man punched the woman to the ground.

Glancing at Li, who was surrounded by everyone, at this moment, Li, who was in the midst of the tiger and wolf pack, seemed to sense something, and raised her head to meet the man's eyes.

The emotions contained in the eyes are complex, incomprehensible, and no one can understand them.

The man turned around, carried the woman into the house, and closed the tattered door.

Outside the door, there seemed to be something missing in Li's eyes, and it seemed to be as simple as before, but there seemed to be water droplets printed with candlelight in her eyes and cheeks.
