Just like last time, it was still in a small alley where no one was around, and Xu Shuo used [Stealing Blade Sometimes] to come to Lilian's side.

By the way, the short knife in his hand was as warm as last time.

"Ahem," Xu Shuo coughed lightly, casually put the short knife in his arms, and then looked at Junxiong and Baozi, "Okay, you guys are going to the gym next, right, then let's say goodbye here, by the way, help me say hello to Mr. Lin, just say that there is no need to ask him last week, the transaction is canceled, and I am sorry to say sorry to him for me." ”

"Huh? Do you have a deal with Mr. Lin? Toshio was surprised.

"It's nothing, I asked him to help me find the whereabouts of the Blood Moon Clan, and in exchange I will kill the leader of the local black turban thieves, but I didn't expect to accidentally learn the address of the Blood Moon Clan in the middle of the road, which saved me a lot of trouble. Although it is a bit against the spirit of the contract...... Anyway, you apologize to him for me. Xu Shuo said.

Toshio nodded, "I know, goodbye, if you have the chance, you will come to play with us again." ”

"Well, goodbye."

After saying goodbye, Toshio led the bun away.

Outside the alley, the guards in civilian clothes saw that only Toshio and Baozi came out, and knew that the group in front of him was going to disperse, so he hesitated for a while and chose to follow Toshio and Baozi.

And after Xu Shuo waited for a while, he also walked out of the alley, not knowing that Junxiong helped them take away an eyeliner.

"So, are we going straight to the barracks now?" Lilian asked.

"Hmm," Xu Shuo looked at Miao Zhen, "Miao Zhen, what do you think, do you want to go directly to your family?" Or do you want to eat something first? It's noon now, and after walking for so long, you should be hungry too, right? ”

"I ......" Miao Zhen lowered her head, looking a little entangled, she hesitated for a while, and then said, "Otherwise, let's eat something first." ”

"Huh?" Lilian was a little surprised, she leaned down and asked softly, "Is this good, Miao Zhen, don't you want to see your family earlier?" Mr. Xu Shuo and I are not very hungry, so you don't have to worry about us. ”???. 81??.?? M

Seeing that Lilian cared about herself, Miao Zhen hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said, "No, Sister Lilian, although I really want to see my family soon, but when I think of seeing them soon, I am a little nervous and don't know what to say, so I want to make mental preparations while eating, or something...... Hey. ”

"That's right...... It's really nervous to reunite with a family that has been separated for so long," Lilian touched Miao Zhen's head and showed a relieved smile, "Then let's go find something to eat first, I saw a lot of delicious food when I came with Mr. Xu Shuo last time!" ”

"That's right, it seems that there are a lot of good hot restaurants here, let's go and have a look," Xu Shuo echoed, "If your family is in this city, then you will live here in the future, just get familiar with it in advance." ”

Xu Shuo and the three of them chose a big road and walked towards the bustling neighborhood with more people. A crowded place has two advantages, one is that there are many restaurants, and the other is that it is hidden in the forest, and it is not easy to be targeted by pickets when walking in this kind of place.

The three of them came to a shopping street full of cars, and discussed which restaurant to eat at while strolling around.

After a week's absence, River City seems to have become more lively than before, with colorful ribbons hanging everywhere on both sides of the streets, and citizens carrying large bags of goods can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, and people gather in groups of families and children, old and young, as if ready for some kind of festival. Vendors selling fruits and vegetables also pile up their goods at the door for passers-by to buy.

"It's so lively, I feel like everyone is very enthusiastic about shopping." Miao Zhen looked at the busy street in surprise.

"Speaking of which, it's the end of the year now, and the people here should be preparing something to celebrate the arrival of the new year." Lilian said.

"Is that the so-called purchase of New Year's goods? No wonder these people seem so spending. "I have lived alone for several years, and I haven't been through the New Year for a long time.

"In this way, when we go to Miao Zhen's house, shouldn't we buy some souvenirs, it doesn't seem good to visit other people's homes on the New Year, and come to the door empty-handed." Liliam suggested.

"Makes sense." Xu Shuo agreed, "Then let's go buy something as a meeting gift." ”

When Miao Zhen heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, Brother Xu Shuo, spend your money again, ...... like this"

"Stop!" Xu Shuo pressed Miao Zhen's lips with his fingers, "When you go to visit someone else's house, you can't easily empty your hands, this is the etiquette between adults, Miao Zhen, besides, this may be the last time we spend money for you, so please accept it honestly!" ”

"Yes, Xiao Miaozhen, this is probably the last time, Mr. Xu Shuo and I will not back down!" Lilien chimed in.

"You ......" Miao Zhen's heart was filled with a warmth, and the stubbornness in her eyes gradually disappeared, she clenched her fists, put her hands on her chest, and swore solemnly: "I know, I will accept it, and I will definitely repay you with my previous share in the future." ”

Seeing Miao Zhen's serious appearance, Xu Shuo and Lilian exchanged glances and smiled in unison.

What a lovely child.

"What are you laughing at, I'm serious, Brother Xu Shuo and Sister Lilian, you must come back to me in the future, I will save money and wait for you to come, and I will take you to eat a lot of delicious food, and buy a lot of handsome and beautiful clothes to wear, and, ...... Anyway, I will definitely repay you! Miao Zhen emphasized again.

"Hahaha, okay, there will be a chance for you to repay in the future, with my conditions, I can't find a wife in the future, I will be alone until I am old, and I will have no children under my knees, so Miao Zhen will support me for the elderly." Xu Shuo said jokingly.

Although Xu Shuo was joking, Miao Zhen was very serious.

"No problem, if Brother Xu Shuo is old in the future, I will come to raise Brother Xu Shuo!"

"Hahahaha, yes."

Xu Shuo touched Miao Zhen's head, and he was in a good mood.

The three of them stopped all the way, and when they encountered a store that was not strict with identity verification, they went in to shop and buy, although they said they wanted to eat, but they did not enter any restaurant, but they ate a lot of snacks along the way, barbecue sausages, steamed potatoes and sweet cakes whose names are difficult to remember, in short, they were full while shopping.

On the way, I also encountered a small episode that made people blush and embarrassment.

An old woman selling balloons stopped Xu Shuo and the others, and then cordially accosted Miao Zhen: "Oh, this cute little friend, do you like balloons, let your parents buy them for you?" She winked at Xu Shuo and Lilian as she spoke, "Both, buy a balloon for your daughter, my balloon won't leak for three days?" ”

Why is there such a thing, probably because Miao Zhen has been malnourished since he was a child and looks a few years younger than his actual age, while Xu Shuo has been haggard recently and looks a lot older, right? was mistaken for a father and daughter.

Because it was very troublesome to explain, the three of them just smiled awkwardly and declined in the end.

Walking from the street to the crossroads at the end of the street, Xu Shuo and the others had a few more fruits and pastries in their hands, all of which were to give the Blood Moon clan a meeting gift.

Xu Shuo saw a clothing store on the edge of the crossroads, and suddenly felt that she should buy a few sets of clothes for Miao Zhen, after all, she would live here in the future, and she couldn't do it without a change of clothes, so the three of them entered the clothing store again.

The clothes in this shop are quite meticulously made, but the prices are very affordable.

"Good, so cheap, this kind of material and workmanship, in Chewa City, at least fifty percent more expensive, because there were two clothing stores under the name of the family in the past, so I also know a little about the cost of this kind of clothes, can this price really make money?" Lilian stroked a purple gown and marveled at it, and she confirmed to the store manager, "Is this really just a silver coin?" ”

The store manager smiled, "yes, it's very affordable, right?" That's pardon, that's why it's so affordable, usually, it can be sold for a half silver, but everyone is rushing to ask for this batch of goods, because it's really cheap! ”

"Pardon?" Lilien was stunned for a moment by the words she hadn't heard, but her attention was quickly attracted by the clothes again, "It's really affordable, then let's buy a few, this, this, that, and these, please pack them all for us!" ”

"Oooh, thank you for your patronage!"

After buying the laundry for Miao Zhen to change, the three of them pushed the door and left.

And the manager of the clothing store could no longer suppress the joy in his heart at the moment when the door closed, and cheered.

"Okay! This damn pardon can be sold so much at once, it's really God's eyes! The store manager held the newly arrived coin, kissed it three times, and then happily turned in a circle, "Today seems to be a good day~"

The store manager was smug when the door was pushed open again, and he hurriedly put away his idiocy and put on a professional welcome smile.

"Welcome!"

When the store manager saw the visitor, the smile on his face froze.

It was a team of four pickets in black uniforms with menacing expressions.

The store manager's heart stopped beating briefly, but soon calmed down again, he squeezed a smile and greeted in a warm voice: "Four chiefs, do you want to buy clothes?" Our store happens to sell clothes at a special price, so I bought two ...... today."

"We're looking for fugitives," the man at the head of the picket team coldly interrupted the store manager, he took out two portraits of the ink from his bosom and held them up to the store manager, "Have you ever seen these two women, one is blonde, about fifteen to twenty years old, a little taller than you, and the other is black-haired, about ten years old, about this height." ”

The store manager fixed his eyes and broke out in a cold sweat.

Isn't this the girl who just came to buy clothes?!

The shopkeeper swallowed and was about to speak, but he thought about it, these two people were fugitives, maybe they were thieves, and if he told the two people that they had just bought clothes from him, wouldn't it be tantamount to telling the pickets that he had not carefully verified the identity of the customers? That's a felony that punishes you in jail.

"Uh......" The store manager said with sweaty palms and stumbling, "I think about it, uh, the guests who came today don't seem to have two women coming together, either a group of people or a single person, and no two women came." ”

He wasn't lying, there were indeed three people who came just now, a man and two women.

"Don't talk nonsense, you just say that you haven't seen these two people!"

"No, no!"

"Tsk, a waste of time...... Let's go! ”

The four pickets left with a menacing look like black-robed grim reapers.

The store manager wiped the sweat from his head with a trembling hand, and said in his heart that today doesn't look like a good day.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
