Chapter Eighty-Eight - Ji Lin's Danger
Eventually, after Brandy's excellent negotiation skills, the second procession was scheduled for the next morning.
In other words, after dawn, they also have some time to say goodbye to their families.
The deep cold has arrived, and the temperature outside has dropped to a level that ordinary people can't bear, and the group found a place where they could shelter from the wind and lit a bonfire, they sat in a circle and listened to Ning Falcon say, "I still can't accept that the world in my dream is the setting of real life." ”
"Because...... In reality, my mother had passed away a long time ago, and I was working overtime that night, and she waited for me until 10 o'clock at night. ”
"But I got a promotion that day and happily went out drinking with my colleagues."
"She didn't wait for me."
"And then?" Zhou Xinyi asked.
"Then I quit," Ning said, "and I really couldn't get that promotion with peace of mind." ”
Jiang Yi listened to the words of a few people and silently lit a cigarette.
Ning Ying said inappropriately, "My father was a smoker when he was alive, and my mother died of terminal lung cancer. ”
Jiang Yi: "......"
The people present were all inheritors, and she didn't think that nicotine could cause them much harm, but considering Ning Falcon's emotions, she still put out her cigarette.
Ning Falcon said, "That life was a nightmare for me, that's why I remember it so clearly." ”
"I've been like this since I was a child, and nightmares are better than sweet dreams."
Seeing that the atmosphere was so suitable, Zhou Xinyi also said, "In my dream, my sister also died of illness. ”
Although modern medical technology has improved, and diseases such as cancer are no longer incurable, on the other hand, the price of treatment for some diseases has also doubled due to the use of light curtains in all aspects of equipment.
As a result, the majority of those who seek medical treatment choose to forgo treatment for financial reasons.
Zhou Xinyi and Zhou porridge are a few examples of stubborn resistance.
Ning's mother was among the majority of those who gave up treatment.
And among them, the one who has had the most smooth sailing in reality seems to be brandy.
Everyone looked at it in unison.
"Hmm...... Compared to you, I'm really having an easy time. ”
"After all, I don't have any financial worries, and most of the time, I seem to be struggling with work."
"What about your family," Zhou Xinyi asked the question he was most concerned about, "In income, who is the person who depends on you for your life?" ”
"It's my senior sister, my teacher's daughter."
Brandy smiled, "Before I took over my parents' company, I used to study history with a teacher. ”
"Coincidentally, my teachers were among the first to become heirs four years ago, so I learned about the concept of heirs much earlier than many people."
Because of this, Brandy gained a successor and a convenient network of light curtains at an early age, and with his intellect he immediately realized the influence and importance of light curtains on human society.
Coupled with his talent in all aspects, Brandy, who seized the opportunity, naturally became one of the youngest richest people in Shangcai City.
"The two of us have known each other for a long time, which is equivalent to the relationship between childhood sweethearts, but unfortunately, the relationship between the two of us is not good, after I became the heir, she once wanted to kill me, and I, too, wanted to kill her."
Jiang Yi became intrigued by this, "What happened between the two of you?" ”
"Well...... "Brandy thought for a moment, "it was at a banquet. ”
"At that time, I was still a small career and was in the middle of the stream, and Miss Wu, the daughter of a clothing company, loved me for ten minutes, so I proposed to my father to be engaged."
"Her father, the president of the clothing company, mentioned this to my parents, and my teacher found out about it."
"So my teacher asked me how I would choose between his daughter and Miss Wu."
"I told him that I couldn't choose between the vicious devil and the sassy lady, and if I had to choose, the latter would probably be better to deal with."
“……”
Zhou Xinyi couldn't believe that words with such no emotional intelligence actually popped out of brandy's mouth.
"Later, my sister's attitude towards me plummeted, and our friendship began to decline."
After listening, everyone didn't know what angle to start complaining about.
Zhou Xinyi said, "So this is a story of love and hate? ”
Brandy is noncommittal.
“…… Okay, I'll go home later and say goodbye to the boat porridge. ”
"It's about to dawn," said Brandy, "and I'll take the rest of the day to find out what the so-called parade and the seven days mean." ”
……
……
At this moment, let's take our eyes off briefly and put it in the distance in Jizhou City.
After saying goodbye to Zhou Xinyi and the others, the captain of the exploration team, Fang Wen Chun, and Ji Lin and others had already rushed back to the foot of Jizhou City.
After three days and four hours of twists and turns, they will finally arrive in Jizhou City this morning.
Speaking of Ji Zhou City, Ji Lin actually didn't want to come back, but now that the deep cold is imminent, continuing to stay in the wasteland where materials are scarce is just waiting for death, in order to survive, even if she is reluctant, she has to settle in the only nearby city.
In fact, there is a secret that she did not tell anyone.
Ji Lin is a writer, after Ji Zhoucheng suffered this catastrophe, her creative passion was not only not hit, but became more and more scorching, so she followed the exploration team to leave Ji Zhou on the grounds of "looking for inspiration", regardless of life and death, which is crazy for anyone, but a suitable reason.
But in fact, she left Jizhou City just to escape for her life.
Ji Zhou City has an exploration team entering the city every time, Ji Lin uses a thick scarf and cotton wool to cover her exposed skin, it is now a deep cold, such thick clothing is very common, as long as she has a legal entry and exit certificate, no one will be suspicious.
But even so, when entering the city, there were still soldiers who frequently looked at her, "You...... What's your name? ”
Ji Lin lowered her voice and asked, "Shirin." ”
"Oh, Miss Shireen," said the soldier, "your eyes are very similar to Miss Ji Lin's, they are beautiful, even the name is similar. ”
"But you're not her, I know, how could the daughter of the high-ranking city lord travel with the exploration team, it's too bad."
"And Miss Ji Lin is living with Mr. City Lord now, haha, I saw her the day before yesterday."
The soldier laughed heartily, and Ji Lin also smiled awkwardly.
During the conversation, Ji Lin caught a glimpse of several other soldiers defending the city, and the expression of one of them not only did not become relaxed, but became intriguing, like a cat peeking in from outside a mouse hole.
Ji Lin hurriedly retracted his gaze and followed the exploration team into the city gate quickly.
That is the eyeliner arranged by "Ji Lin" at the city gate, and she has been discovered!
Ji Lin nervously inserted her hand into her pocket, stroked the little bat hidden in her pocket, and became relieved.
Don't be nervous, seek help whenever something goes wrong.
That soldier will definitely go to report to "Ji Lin", what should I do, do you want to kill him?
No...... It's too difficult to kill a soldier at the city gate, and even if you succeed, it's hard to escape the soldier's pursuit, and cover up the past with your identity? No, she couldn't make sure that there was only one eyeliner inside the city gates, and it would be even worse for her to make things bigger.
And "Ji Lin" used her identity, maybe the soldier just followed the instructions and was deceived.
Another thing that Ji Lin cares about is her father.
"Ji Lin" now lives with her father?
Did the father find out that the "Ji Lin" was fake? Will he be in danger?
She can't act rashly, but she doesn't want to sit still.
Ji Lin said to the captain of the exploration team, "Captain, come with me, I want to go to the tavern and sit down." ”
She laughed, "I haven't drunk it in a long time, and I kind of miss the taste of the drink." ”
Ji Lin was not a member of the exploration team in the first place, and her departure was fine, "Okay. ”
As soon as he turned his head, the smile in Ji Lin's eyes faded and turned into deep solemnity.
After the catastrophe of Jizhou City, the most thing left in the wreckage of Night Street was alcohol.
Workers who haven't gone to work before also like to reunite in taverns, so of the few entertainment industries, only the tavern industry has survived.
Ji Lin went to the same restaurant that Zhou Xinyi had visited, and his family had a separate underground wine cellar, where most of the wine had survived after the catastrophe.
The restaurant was also completely transformed into a tavern.
Ji Lin sat in the tavern in a low-key manner and ordered a glass of the cheapest rice wine, which together looked like beer that had been diluted with water, and the taste was thin, but it was enough for today's Jizhou people.
The surrounding workers drank and talked loudly.
Ji Lin quietly listened to the information that the workers had inadvertently revealed, and "Ji Lin" was said to be writing a new book and was now living in the city lord's tower.
The father-daughter relationship between them is not as harmonious as before, and "Ji Lin" has become less and less in communication with the outside world during this time.
The outside world only thought that she was obsessed with creation, and didn't think much about it.
Hearing that his father didn't seem to have been deceived by "Ji Lin", Ji Lin's heart was much more stable.
Ji Lin drank the remaining rice wine in the cup, put down the wine glass, and got up to leave.
As she was about to walk out of the tavern, a woman suddenly walked in outside the tavern.
She was dressed in plain ink-colored clothes, but it was also evident that the fabric was very expensive.
She wore a pair of red onyx-framed glasses, and her eyes swept around the frames, looking around at everyone in the tavern.
Ji Lin's footsteps stopped suddenly.
When she appeared, even the rest of the tavern was at peace.
McVall Officer.
Official McVall stood silently in the door frame of the tavern, and she did not enter or leave.
There was room for two people to pass on either side of her, but no one dared to pass her.
A question arose for everyone.
How did the famous McVall official come back to this poor and sour tavern?
Ji Lin's vigilance suddenly raised, and she stepped to the side, wanting to minimize her presence.
Fortunately, the official McVall only glanced at her coldly, then looked away and walked into the tavern.
Ji Lin was able to leave behind her and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the McVall officials did not recognize themselves.
Just as she was about to leave as fast as she could, the McVall officer behind her suddenly stopped her.
"You, wait, turn around."
