The night is getting darker and darker.

It was as if there was an invisible layer of fog obscuring the morning stars.

Chu Ce held the oil-paper bag in his arms and walked cautiously through the muddy streets.

The smell of sweat mixed with the smell of feces and urine poured into his nasal cavity, making him can't help but speed up his pace.

Everywhere you look, you can see the unclothed and collapsed on the roadside, and the lucky ones will survive one more night, and the unlucky ones will be built into the walls and become part of the city forever.

A little further on, there are rows of shacks next to each other, each no more than four or five square meters in size, crowded and cramped.

Chu Ce's home is one of these dense shacks.

With a heavy heart, Chu Ce walked through the crowd and came to his door with many malicious covetous glances.

Suddenly, his face changed dramatically!

The locked wooden door in front of the shack had been opened at some point and was swaying in the wind.

"Xiaowei!"

Chu Ce's heart instantly rose to his throat, and he rushed into the room with an arrow step!

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the thin little girl squatting in the corner of the wall, holding her knees with her hands.

Hearing the movement, the little girl raised her head, and there were still tears on her delicate little face.

Chu Ce hurriedly ran forward: "Xiaowei, what's wrong with you?" You okay? ”

"Brother, I'm fine." Seeing Chu Ce, Chu Wei's eyes lit up, she stretched out her dusty little hand to wipe her tears, and stumbled: "I just miss my father and mother a little." ”

Chu Ce didn't speak, but just stepped forward to take a closer look, and found that Chu Wei had traces of abrasions on her forearms and forehead, and was immediately shocked and angry: "Xiaowei, what's the matter with your injury?" ”

"I accidentally fell ......"

Chu Wei still wanted to cover it up, but her fluttering eyes betrayed herself.

Chu Ce sighed in his heart, and he didn't force it, but just said softly: "Xiaowei, can you tell my brother what happened?" Did Li Jufu send someone? Don't worry, my brother will never be impulsive. ”

Hearing Chu Ce's gentle voice, Chu Wei couldn't hold back any longer, and the bean-sized tears fell down her little face.

"Brother...... I don't know, there were a lot of people who came just now, they smashed and kicked outside, the doors were broken, they came in and took away all the steamed buns under the bed, Xiaowei wanted to stop them, but they were like crazy, Xiaowei couldn't stop them......

Looking at the little girl who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, Chu Ce felt very distressed in his heart, and hurriedly comforted: "Xiaowei don't cry, those steamed buns are already cold and rancid, they will give them if they want, next time you are not allowed to do stupid things again, understand?" ”

"Uh-huh."

Although she agreed, the little girl's eyes were still red, and her face was full of grievances.

Suddenly, Chu Wei spoke weakly again: "Brother, either or let me marry into the Li family, so that we don't have to ......."

"Xiaowei!"

Chu Wei was interrupted before she could finish speaking, Chu Ce's face turned pale, and he reprimanded: "Don't you know what Li Jufu is?" You must not think about it again! ”

As if taken aback by Chu Ce's sternness, Chu Wei's mouth deflated, and a mist suddenly surged in her eyes.

Chu Ce was suddenly startled, and said in his heart how he had sent his depression out on his little sister, and hurriedly stepped forward and waved his hand: "Don't talk about this, come to Xiaowei, see what good things my brother has brought you?" ”

As he spoke, he reached out and opened the oil-paper bag in his arms, which contained two hot buns, and as soon as he opened them, the rich aroma of meat came out.

Smelling the fragrance, Chu Wei suddenly widened her good-looking apricot eyes, tears swirled around on her eyes and slipped back, exclaiming, "Meat buns!" Elder brother! Where did you get that?! ”

"Shh

Chu Ce made a small gesture and chuckled: "I sent out some more copper plates today, and my brother specially bought them back for you to try." ”

"Brother! What a waste! Chu Wei shouted, but her eyes stared at the meat bun in Chu Ce's hand without blinking.

The color is white and soft, and the plump meat filling under it is faintly visible, and a faint heat rises from the dough, exuding an attractive fragrance.

"Goo."

Before she could speak, Chu Wei's body reacted first.

Chu Ce smiled dumbly, spread out the oiled paper on the table, rubbed Chu Wei's head dotingly, and said with a smile: "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold." ”

"Uh-huh!"

Chu Wei couldn't wait to grab the hot meat bun and take a bite carefully, but before she could bite the filling, she turned her head to look at Chu Ce, and then lowered her head and took a big bite.

Suddenly, the meat juice flowed out along with the oil and water, Chu Wei snorted slightly, and sucked it all into her mouth, she closed her eyes happily, and there was indescribable satisfaction on her little face.

"Brother! You eat too! ”

"Good!"

Chu Ce smiled and took a bun, but only took a bite and didn't eat it again.

He looked at the big bun in both hands. Abba Abba ate Zhengxiang Xiaowei, and her eyes gradually became firm.

Now, Chu Ce has two options.

It is safer to escape from Sky Wolf City with Xiaowei, and if you are lucky, you may be able to find a new city to settle in soon.

Of course, there is also the possibility of encountering demons and dying in the belly of demons like their parents.

Right and wrong, blessing and misfortune, all depend on the destiny of heaven!

The second option is to rely on his golden finger.

The Buddha statue has to worship things related to the transcendent in order for him to gain strength, but demons, ghosts, and elixirs, these are too far away from ordinary people, so what about Chu Ce, a homeless person?

Therefore, even in the past five years, Chu Ce has never given up inquiring, there is still little news about extraordinary power.

But not long ago, he learned from a co-worker that there was a ghost domain in the city, and Chu Ce began to collect evil spirit-warding props, wondering if he could try his luck and hunt a low-level demon.

However, even the lowest-level demons are not something that ordinary people can deal with, so this method is too risky! He has not been able to make up his mind.

So after thinking about it, Chu Ce was still ready to implement the first method.

It's not that he coaxed him, but he doesn't know how sad Xiaowei will be without himself and how to survive!

He didn't dare to think about it!

So after Chu Ce got off work, he prepared food and small tools for survival in the wild.

He even planned his route, went straight along the Northern Trade Road, and turned into the jungle when he left the patrol area, relying on the canal to determine the direction......

But when he saw Xiaowei and her happy and innocent face, Chu Ce's heart rose with a deep unwillingness!

Why?

Why do you and your family have to live a life of exile again because of a random thought of a stupid pig?

Why are you diligent and hardworking, but you don't even have basic food and clothing? Can't even protect your closest family members?

He hates! He's angry! He was not reconciled!

Chu Ce's heart seemed to be burning with a raging fire! It was as if there were thousands of insects and ants gnawing at his sanity! It was as if a voice was saying to him:

"Are you going to be a coward for the rest of your life?"

Chu Ce's face was slightly hideous, and he felt his heart roaring: "Fuck! Whoever loves to be should be, Lao Tzu is not appropriate! ”

The voice was so violent that it seemed to destroy his sanity! Let him become like a gambler with nothing, risking his life to make the last big gamble!

"Brother, are you okay?"

However, at this moment, a childish voice sounded.

Chu Wei looked at him, and there was worry in her big watery eyes that couldn't be hidden.

"Brother, why don't you eat it?"

"I ......"

Facing Xiao Wei's concern, Chu Ce's clenched fist suddenly loosened.

After all, he is not a gambler who has nothing, he still has Xiaowei.

After regaining his senses, Chu Ce sighed faintly:

"Xiaowei, pack up your things, we'll leave Sky Wolf City tonight."
