Chapter 9: Melting
from now on
"Sea monster" has become synonymous with Lizhen in Lu Ran's heart. The sea monster approached. The sea monster licked its face.
The sea monster wrapped its hands and feet around its own hands and feet. The sea monster went to sleep. The sea monster's sister smiled evilly, looking at Lu Ran's face flushed and sweating like rain.
But with an inexplicable, happy smile on his face. Lingzhen knocked on the table, making a rhythmic thump thump.
"Okay, don't giggle, she's a stunner, it's the same to all men, what your eyes are beautiful, your muscles are very secure, your money, makes my whole body tremble." The girl sat on the dining chair, shaking her two slender legs.
"Stunner?" Lu Ran turned his head.
"Isn't that how the story goes? Compared to that, prodigal, this should be a good word, right? ”
"You ......" For a while, Lu Ran was speechless. Lingzhen blinked,
"What are you, you're still looking in there, everyone is sleeping, you have nothing to do, just help me work." Lu Ran nodded,
"I'll eat first." …… Throughout the afternoon, Lu Ran didn't go anywhere, nor did he mess around, but spent some time roughly piecing together the situation of this world from Ling Zhen's mouth.
Although this coastal city is small and has a small population, it is very special, and it is special in that it is actually one
"Concession". Country A by some means
"Leased" this place and ruled here, but the people who lived here came from another country, country B, which was mentioned by Lingzhen
"Northerners". There are northerners, and naturally there are northerners. Country A is rich and technologically advanced, and the northern country used to be a big country, but now it is in a state of weakness.
And Hui Zhen said so-called
"The most important and chaotic year in a century" is because the lease between the two countries will expire in a year's time.
This should have been a good thing, but the people who live here, because they have been away from their home country for too long, and the people of country A have spent a lot of effort to stumble before leaving, which makes the people here have suspicion and fear in their hearts.
It's like a ship that is halfway through the voyage and suddenly says it wants to turn around and return to the same place, and it's hard not to feel confused in people's hearts.
Of course, these questions about the history of the family and country cannot be within the scope of Lingzhen, a little girl, but Lu Ran's conjecture based on what she said.
In short, the current situation in Gun Harbor is extremely unstable, the rich are preparing to flee, and the poor are living in dire straits.
And what Lu Ran saw just downstairs
"Profit is money" was not born from this kind of background, but was designed by a foreign ruler himself 20 years ago and carried forward the way to make money.
Regarding this matter, its complexity is also based on the information in Lingzhen's mouth and Lu Ran's opinion from a small sea, it is naturally difficult to summarize and clarify, Lu Ran only clarified two important information: First, the whole gun
Although there are tens of thousands of "true detectives", they are like the owners of the fish market every day to search the people non-stop, but the manpower is far from enough, so they cooperate with the local ones
"Society"
"Secret door" cooperation, these
The "Society" is the real evil force in the city, doing the dirtiest business and oppressing the poor who come from the same hardships as them.
Second, the city is thus divided into four classes as people, including the first person, the true detective, the secret door, and the common people, these four classes are related to each other, forming an extremely strong cruel society like big fish eating small fish, in such a society, the life of the common people is miserable, the three sisters of the Li family in front of them are the best portrayal, and the foreign rulers like the A people, are just greedy for some money, because they know that they will have to leave sooner or later, the worst is the true detective and the secret door, they collude with each other, and do all the bad things, which are the two biggest pests in this city, Two tumors are also two mountains that are difficult to shake.
By the way, there is a third piece of information that is very important to Lu Ranyan, that is, there are no immortals in this world.
There are some Taoist priests who pretend to be ghosts and the like, but as Lingzhen said
"Shushan Sword Immortal", but it only exists in the story. Lu Ran was a little relieved at first, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that something was wrong, since this was already in the mouth of an undeceived master
"A world without immortals", but why are there still people who are bullied? After thinking about it, I feel that this matter is too grand and complicated for me to think about, and I have not yet made it clear whether this world is true or false, so it is better to be less nosy and find more ways to find it back.
However, thinking about it, but Lu Ran this whole afternoon, the three sisters, as the protagonists, lingered in his mind, for a while thinking of Lizhen as a dancer, being bullied by a few people with fat brains in the dark, and thinking of Huizhen walking on the street, being pushed into the dark alley by a few secret disciples whistling, remembering that Lingzhen went to the market to buy vegetables, with a deep helplessness on his face, he said, it is because we have no money...... Lu Ran, staring at the plastic flower in his hand, remembered that day, the Wanhuan Tower, where there were destruction and explosions everywhere.
In this world, this flower is called a sunflower, also known as a moonlight flower. The nameless angry little flame was like a seed, and it was quietly planted in the deepest part of Lu Ran's body.
…… Hui Zhen was very punctual, and Ling Zhen looked at a clock and said that she would be home in a minute, and she really pushed open the iron door.
Seeing her come back, Lu Ran greeted her kindly. Although she still had a cold face, her attitude was a little different from yesterday, and interestingly, she was a little afraid to look at Lu Ran's eyes.
Is it really because I have such beautiful eyes? Lu Ran couldn't tell what was going on, his heart was beating a little, and then he remembered the terrifying scene last night.
Hui Zhen got up early and must have discovered her own problems, so now, she is a little embarrassed.
Lingzhen also greeted Huizhen, took out the money given by Lizhen from his breast pocket, and said proudly: "Fourth sister, you don't need to eat fried rice tonight, go eat 'Dragon Ji' tonight!" Hui Zhen said hello, put down her schoolbag, poured herself a glass of water to drink, and then spread out the textbook and wrote two pages of homework first.
Lizhen heard the movement, and at this time she had already gotten up, still wearing only a small shirt, only a towel tied to her waist, barefoot, and wanted to take a shower first.
"Huizhen, don't write it, go change into a nice dress, after dinner, I'll take you to buy a few new clothes." Passing by Hui Zhen's desk, she paused and smiled, melting in the sunset.
"Yay! For this mainland boy, buy two pieces too! Lingzhen jumped and jumped with joy.
"Oh." Hui Zhen didn't look back, the pen didn't stop, but a gust of wind blew from nowhere, and it ruffled her hair slightly.
The night in the south always comes early and slowly. Lu Ran, it's hard to believe that the scene in front of you will be illusory.
For a moment, he even felt that this was what he wanted, a comfortable, calm, and happy life.
