Lu Ming regretted it, he never thought that for a six-year-old girl, it would be so difficult to walk from the Fengtian Tavern to the south of Xingluo City.

As soon as she got out of the two streets, the little girl began to argue about her weak legs and sore legs, and her feet hurt and she couldn't walk. Lu Ming had no choice but to carry the little girl on his back, and the blazing sunlight stabbed his face, like a red-hot knife constantly slaughtering his face.

Lu Ming was very sober, soberly he could feel every inch of heat pouring into his lungs from his mouth and nose, and he could clearly feel the transpiration and loss of water from his body.

The remaining road is still very long, and Lu Ming manipulated the surrounding moisture, condensing the little water vapor in the air into patches of white mist, steaming on the skin, and so on, cooling himself. While controlling the airflow, the upward force is applied to oneself to reduce the burden of walking as much as possible.

Finally, I don't know how long it took, Lu Ming came to the outside of Xingluo City with this volcano, the woods and greenery, the stream and the girl.

Lu Ming didn't want to say a word, his mouth was dry, he lay on the stream, dragging himself with the help of buoyancy, like a leaf floating on the water, floating freely with the wind, comfortable and comfortable.

The girl sat on Lu Ming's stomach, still amazed by this magical scene, playing happily with the water, and from time to time splashed the water on Lu Ming's face, and the silver bell-like laughter was engraved in Lu Ming's mind with the milky smell of the girl's body.

However, the burned area is not a good memory, but a painful life with children.

......

The journey back was much better, the sun seemed to have run out of fuel for the day, and only the orange dusk remained, and the sky seemed to have been burned by fire, and the sunset gently soothed the hot-devastated land with a gentle breeze.

Lu Ming didn't want to carry a small oil bottle on his back anymore, so he wanted to find a rickshaw driver nearby to pull the two back, and the two of them steamed their clothes after playing with water, but it was the same as taking a bath, there was no feeling of sweat sticking on the body.

There are almost no houses in the south of the city, only some simple small huts built by themselves, most of which are made of wood and hay, and occasionally mixed with some iron sheets and stones.

There was sewage and some excrement left on the side of the road, and the strong stench constantly irritated Lu Ming and the little girl, and he used his soul power to control the surrounding air flow to separate the odor molecules on the other side, leaving only a strong floral fragrance.

You could see a few people scattered on the other side of the road, with scattered hair, holding a broken bowl and covered in black dirt. These people did not come forward to beg, but sat in front of their small sheds, not knowing whether they were waiting for death or in a daze, and the mosquitoes did not move when they lay on their faces.

Xiao Yuhan was a little scared, in his eyes, these people were like living corpses, terrifying, terrifying. Lu Ming didn't pull Xiao Yuhan anymore and walked in. Ordinary rickshaw drivers don't put their carts in there.

The orange-red light shone like a dividing line on the blue-gray marble floor, and there were a few street trees on the roadside, on which the cherry blossoms bloomed, releasing bursts of floral fragrance.

On the other side, it was not illuminated by the light at all, and it was in a dark and narrow small shed, next to it like a stinky ditch discharged everywhere, the stench constantly released the odor factor, and the mosquitoes were flying, and even the birds could not be heard.

It was as if Lu Ming had turned into an angel of light and darkness at this moment, and the light shone on half of Lu Ming's body, dividing the world into two halves, the wings on the left were bright and warm, charming and prosperous, while the wings on the right were dark and damp, and there was a dead silence.

The two of them stood in the middle of this dividing line, out of place with the dark and damp on the right, and their delicate clothes and dirt-free faces made the people on the right understand that this was the child of the soul master.

"Hey, young lady, do you need to take a car", there is a simple shed in the center of the dividing line, in which is a clean and old rickshaw, next to the car stands a man, bare arms, swarthy, and a little red, only a pair of teeth white bright eyes, a white towel on the shoulder, looking wet.

"Yes, can you send us to the Mukden Tavern?" , Lu Ming hurriedly pulled Xiao Yuhan into the car and talked to the man.

The seats in the car are very clean, there is no smell, but the position is very small, and it can probably only fit the next adult, Lu Ming and Xiao Yuhan are a little uncomfortable squeezed into the same seat, but they can still sit down.

"Why did Miss Young Master come to the south of the city, there is nothing fun in the south of the city", the man didn't go fast, and Lu Ming didn't urge him, the two chatted one by one.

"Oh, the two of us were originally out of the city to play, passing by here", Lu Ming paused for a moment, and then continued, "I see that there have been some changes in the south of the city recently, but it wasn't like this before."

"Hey, don't mention it, these days, I don't know where a bunch of refugees have poured in, the city guards have rushed here, and the business of many of our industries is not good", the man paused, sighed, and then began to talk endlessly.

"Originally, there were no jobs to find on our side, most of them were cart pullers, errands or long-term workers, and they didn't earn much money in the first place, not to mention that so many refugees squeezed in at once, and many guilds would pick some smart people here, making many people lose their jobs in vain."

"For example, our coachman who pulls the cart has recently added five or six hundred people, and some refugees still have some net worth, and the deposit of twenty copper soul coins that can be paid can occupy a name in the car dealership."

"Do you need a deposit for this?" , Lu Ming interrupted the coachman and grabbed Xiao Yuhan's arm with his hand, at this time the little girl was already asleep, and Lu Ming was afraid that she would accidentally fall.

"Of course, the car dealership is rented, and the car dealer is afraid that you will damage the car. Only after paying a deposit can the car be allocated, as for the car to run away is never daring to think, I heard that there was once a coachman who wanted to take the car out of the city overnight to sell, but the next day his body fragments appeared in the whole south of the city. ”

After speaking, he looked at Lu Ming again, "I didn't scare you", and smiled apologetically. Lu Ming waved his hand, and the coachman continued.

"It is this group of refugees who come, which makes our business even more difficult, originally our car dealership is two shifts, one car for two people, 60 shifts a month, and one person runs 30 shifts."

"It's good now, after these people appeared, the car dealership didn't have enough cars, they could only work in three shifts, there was not much time to pull the car in the summer, it was too hot at noon, there were few people at night, many people were divided into bad time periods, they couldn't earn enough money, they couldn't pay the monthly rent, they could only be kicked out and lost their jobs"

"But I'm still the lucky one, I've been pulling the car for three or four years, and I'm more familiar with it, so I can be assigned a better time slot."

"In two months, I should be able to save up five Silver Soul Coins, and then I will be able to buy my own car, save some money every year, and ask for a daughter-in-law in the future."

When he spoke, the coachman's voice was a little brisk, and the cart was pulled a little more smoothly, as if he was fantasizing about a better life in the future.

"That's congratulations," Lu Ming said, and then asked, "How is your usual income in this industry?" ”

"Look at the weather and season, spring and autumn income is higher, summer and winter income is lower, for example, a few days ago, before the refugees came, we could earn about five copper soul coins for a day of work, and a little less when the weather was bad."

"Pay the rent of the car every month, except for food and drink, you can save about fifty or sixty copper soul coins a month. However, most of the coachmen did not save money, and the rest of the money was spent on women and drinking."

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I was like this a few years ago, and I just woke up recently, I think people should be a little rushed, a little dream, I want to have a wife, have a car of my own, and wait until I save some money to buy an authentic house in the west or north of the city."

The man laughed as he spoke, showing a mouthful of big white teeth, looking naïve.

"Miss Young Master will go to the south of the city less in the future, and I have been going out less recently, when I pulled the car, I heard that the city has not been peaceful recently, and many girls have disappeared."

"What's more, Seongnam is not a good place to go, there is no interesting place, those who have no job, can do anything to survive"

The car didn't go fast, and I don't know how long it took to get to the Mukden Tavern, and the sun was about to set.

"Okay, two of you, please get out of the car, two copper soul coins", the man slowly stopped the car and leaned steadily on the side of the road.

"Thank you", Lu Ming took out two copper soul coins and handed them to the man, and when he turned his head, Xiao Yuhan was already asleep on his stomach, and a long, crystal clear saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, hey, get up", Lu Ming shook Xiao Yuhan, looked at the saliva on his body, and a black line appeared on his head.

"Hmm~", Xiao Yuhan exhaled, opened his eyes, rubbed his eyes, and saw Lu Ming with a helpless face.

"Ah, it's time to arrive", when he spoke, he was still hazy, with a little softness, and then he saw the saliva on Lu Ming's body, and his face turned red all of a sudden.

"Yes, I'm sorry", Xiao Yuhan burst out of a sentence, blushing and lowering his head.

Then Lu Ming led the girl with a red face and a bowed head to get out of the car. The girl also raised her head from time to time to glance at Lu Ming, and didn't dare to speak after seeing his shrugged face.

After a while, the woman took Xiao Yuhan away, and before leaving, Xiao Yuhan blinked, looked at Lu Ming with a red face, and seemed to want to say goodbye, but she didn't say it when she wanted to open her mouth several times.

"Hey, when is such a day a head", Lu Ming suddenly lay on the recliner, as if all his strength had been drained.

"Xiao Ming, isn't it good to play with others, what a beautiful little girl", the old man Lu laughed heartily when he looked at Lu Ming's miserable appearance.
