Chapter 171: She's Not Human
"Whew!"
The sound of breaking the air sounded, and a figure like lightning quickly shuttled into the crowd. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the figure only left a shadow as thin as spider silk in the air behind him. It's fleeting.
Fast! Fast to the extreme!
Before the crowd could react, Li Yi entered the crowd and grabbed the little girl who fell to the ground before being stepped on. Squatted down and took her in his arms. Then, stand up straight and follow the flow of people towards the big truck.
The reason why the poor people are so crazy is that they don't want to get close to the big trucks. In the hope of getting a little rough and undercooked rice. Moreover, there are so many poor people. Ten large trucks loaded with food seemed to be plentiful. In fact, it is only enough to distribute most of the poor. The remaining half of the poor are starving, waiting for the next nutritious meal to be delivered.
Li Yi's addition did not attract the attention of others. At this moment, everyone's eyes were only staring at the ten buckets of rough rice on the big truck, and their eyes were spewing blazing flames. Although the coarse rice is undercooked, it contains much more energy than gruel. Take a bowl of coarse rice back and cook porridge by yourself, which can be turned into a pot, enough for a family to eat for a day.
Therefore, ten buckets of rice became the object of the eyes of all the poor. One by one, they squeezed in, hoping that they could get a share, even if it was half a bowl of rice. With so many people crowded together, strife is inevitable. In the chaotic crowd, there were a few terrible screams from time to time.
Li Yi didn't know the little girl in her arms, where did she get the courage to dare to compete with so many adults. If it weren't for Li Yi's timely action, she was afraid that she would have been trampled into a pulp.
Thinking so in his heart, Li Yi subconsciously looked down at the little girl in his arms, but found that the little girl was also looking at him without blinking at the moment. On the small black face, a pair of big eyes, black and white, clear and flawless, pure without a trace of impurities. It's like a newborn baby who has never experienced any worldly pollution.
What beautiful eyes!
Li Yi secretly praised in his heart, and his eyes were extremely soft. couldn't help it, Li Yi raised his hand and brushed away a strand of messy hair on the little girl's forehead. Said softly, "Little friend, what's your name?"
The little girl didn't answer, still staring straight at Li Yi. In the big eyes, the gaze is like water. On that little black face, a touch of sweetness suddenly emerged.
Then, under Li Yi's stunned gaze. Her thin arms were raised high and hugged Li Yi tightly. Then, the little head snuggled up to Li Yi's chest, squinting slightly. It seems that the sweetest afternoon is being enjoyed.
Li Yi was stunned, not understanding what was wrong with the little girl. Looking at her appearance, it seems that she is enjoying her embrace.
"When did I become so popular?" Li Yi secretly wondered in his heart.
"This little girl...... It's not human!" said in his brain.
Li Yi's body shook suddenly, and his face was shocked. Immediately, he was surprised in his brain and asked, "What did you say? She's not human?"
"Not bad. Although her appearance is human, her essence, her true identity, is definitely not human. Yan Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Then what is she?" Li Yi asked puzzled.
"I don't know. ”
"Don't know?" Li Yi suddenly rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "Big brother, are you fooling me?"
"I don't have that spare time to play with you. In short, this little girl is not an ordinary person. As for whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway. After speaking, Yan Xuan cut off the soul connection with Li Yi and fell into silence.
Li Yi was speechless for a while, Yan Xuan suddenly appeared, said a few inexplicable words, and fled back. Li Yi, who was harmed, scratched in his heart. Little girls aren't human? What are you kidding? Li Yi's blood-colored pupils had already been scanned. The identity of the little girl is that of an ordinary human child.
If there's a difference, it's that her vitality is particularly vigorous. It's much more powerful than other children. It's like a towering tree that has just grown. Vigorous and upward, exuding infinite vitality.
After the Life Divine Monument was opened, Li Yi's blood-colored pupils had another ability, that is, he could see the vitality of the living body, whether it was strong or weak.
It is reasonable that children's vitality is relatively vigorous. What is there to be puzzled about? Li Yi was puzzled, and Yan Xuan no longer spoke.
Holding the little girl who seemed to be asleep in his arms, Li Yi gradually approached the big truck next to the flow of people. At this time, the ten barrels of coarse rice, as well as greens and pickles, had long been divided by the poor people in front.
The commotion of the crowd behind only then returned to calm down slightly. One by one, they lined up weakly, and when it was their turn, they handed over tin cans or wooden boxes. It is used to hold black and hard steamed buns, or thin rice porridge.
These black steamed buns and gruel, although they can't make people full, they also guarantee that people won't starve to death. In the slums, not starving to death is the greatest skill.
The poor people in front of them, after receiving steamed buns and gruel, left one by one. Soon, it was Li Yi's turn.
"Huh, where's your dog bowl?" a rugged-faced man in his thirties, standing on a large truck, holding a long spoon for scooping gruel. The head of the spoon was facing Li Yi, and the urn spoke.
"Dog basin?" Li Yi's face froze, and he just wanted to speak. The little girl who seemed to be asleep in her arms suddenly woke up. In Li Yi's arms, he gestured his hands and explained something to the fierce man. Her little face was full of eagerness and horror.
"Paralyzed, it turned out to be a little mute. The fierce man scolded angrily. Then, with a wave of his big hand, he said proudly, "No dog bowl, no gruel!"
"Ahhhhh......h Her tin can, in the crowd just now, had been squeezed out. After Li Yi's hug, he subconsciously forgot to find it back. It wasn't until this moment that she remembered. If you want to get food, you can only get it if you put it in a vessel. Only now, where did she go to find the utensils?
Seeing that the little girl was about to cry in a hurry, Li Yi's face sank, looked at the sturdy man, and said in a deep voice, "Thin porridge needs to be served in utensils, but steamed buns are not needed." You give her two steamed buns. ”
"Boy, didn't you hear me clearly? No dog bowl, no food! Steamed buns are not good!" The sturdy man said viciously, "Now, take the little mute, get out of me!"
"You ......" Li Yi couldn't help but be angry. This sturdy man is simply unreasonable. If it weren't for the little girl in her arms, the first time they met, let her see blood. Li Yi slapped him and slapped him to death.
"Babble...... "The little girl in her arms was frightened when she heard the words ......of the fierce man. Waving his hands, he kept explaining something.
"Get out! stop yelling, I'm annoyed with my uncle, slap it with a spoon...... Shoot ......" the sturdy man roared, but halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped abruptly. A pair of eyes stared at Li Yi's hand, and he didn't know when a few extra Kunlun banknotes came out. The corners of his mouth were drooling, and he didn't notice it.
"You...... You're ...... What are you ......" The sturdy man looked at Li Yi, a little overwhelmed, and stammered.
"This money is enough to buy two steamed buns, right?" Li Yi said coldly.
"Enough, enough. The sturdy man nodded hurriedly, and said excitedly, "Not only two steamed buns, but twenty steamed buns are enough." Little brother, wait, I'll pack the steamed buns for you. ”
As he spoke, the sturdy man tore off a large corner of his clothes. Tie it into a package and put twenty black steamed buns inside. Finally, he respectfully handed it to Li Yi. With what he thought was the kindest smile on his face, he said, "Little brother, you take it." ”
Li Yi had a cold face and took the package with one free hand. He weighed it in his hand before putting it in the little girl's arms. Immediately, under the "kind" smile of the fierce man, he threw him a few Kunlun banknotes. Then, without waiting for him to speak, he hugged the little girl, turned around and left.
"Little brother, let's go, remember to come back next time. Next time, I'll leave you rice, the price is absolutely fair!" The sturdy man shouted excitedly at Li Yi, who was walking away. Then, I dipped in some saliva and couldn't wait to light the Kunlun coin.
Before Li Yi came out, Tang Wen forcibly stuffed him with a card and a few thousand Kunlun coins in cash. Just in case. In Tang Wenqiang's words, although you Li Yi don't spend money, you also have your own things to use. How can a man not have some money.
took the money of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, which made Li Yi at that time ashamed and shirked for a long time. In the end, Tang Wenqiang was angry, so he reluctantly accepted it. At the time, I thought I wouldn't need it, but I didn't expect it to be used now.
Money talks. It seems that this sentence will work no matter what era.
Under the frightened gaze of the poor people around him, Li Yi hugged the little girl in his arms and left the crowd. Then, under the guidance of the little girl, walk through the long street and enter an alley.
Just after the figures of Li Yi and the others disappeared, the sturdy man was lighting the Kunlun coin. The big-bellied middle-aged fat man who was standing on the big truck and shouting the horn suddenly walked over from the crowd.
"Huh!"
The fat big hand swept through the air, and the middle-aged fat man snatched the Kunlun coin in his hand and stuffed it into his big trouser pocket under the stunned gaze of the sturdy man.
"Can you take this money too?" the middle-aged fat man glanced at the sturdy man with disdain and sneered.
"Team Sun, you misunderstood, I'm here to check for you and check the authenticity of the money. This will just be checked. Sun team, you can use it with confidence. This money, it's real. The sturdy man laughed. In the depths of his eyes, a flash of resentment quickly flashed.
"Well, that's pretty much it. Hearing this, the middle-aged fat man looked happy and nodded proudly. Immediately, he turned his head to look in the direction where Li Yi disappeared, and said gloomily, "Go, find a few people to follow that kid." ”
"What does Team Sun mean?" the sturdy man was stunned for a moment and said in a low voice.
"What, you don't understand?" the middle-aged fat man squinted at him.
"Understood, understood. The sturdy man hurriedly laughed, then quickly turned around and shouted to the men standing in the carriage behind him, "You guys, go and follow that kid." ”
"Yes. Several men agreed. Immediately jumped out of the big truck, and disappeared into the crowd in a few movements......
