Volume 1 Floating Clouds and Wandering Thoughts Chapter 14 The Road of No Return
Zhong Lijian smiled kindly at the little boy, took out a small wooden sign and handed it to the crack in the door, "We're here to pick up the goods, No. 53." ”
Xiao Tong took a serious look at the wooden sign, slowly pushed the door and said, "Come in." ”
Xiao Tong kept peeking at Mu Rin during the process of leading the way, this was the first time he had seen such a beautiful young lady, the whole person seemed to be made of Yuxue, although she was dressed simply, she still couldn't hide her little fairy-like appearance and temperament.
Mu Rin is the focus of attention in the underworld, and changing into women's clothes in the past two days often attracts the eyes of pedestrians, so she slowly gets used to it.
The courtyard is small and slightly dilapidated, the room is a little dim, the sunlight penetrates the yellowed and perforated window paper, and the pale golden light falls, and there are tiny dust fluttering on it, but there is the smell of ink floating in the room.
An old man was sitting there busy with something, surrounded by a pile of paper. Zhong Lijian and the three of them walked in front of him, he didn't even raise his head, and Xiao Tong called him grandpa, saying that the fifty-third came to pick up things.
The old man lifted his eyelids, and casually pointed to the pile of paper on the left, and the little boy knew how to rummage through it, and took out two official guides and handed them to Zhong Lijian.
Zhong Lijian looked at it, paid the money, and took the things and took Mu Rin away. They can't rely on fooling every time they go in and out of the city, and they still have good credentials. Don't look at the dilapidated place, in fact, it is a well-known underground official in the city with a forgery center, and it is difficult to distinguish the official authenticity from the fake.
"Let's go out of the city and take you to the flower city in Linxian County. ”
"Well, okay. ”
Zhong Lijian saw Mu Rin's cheeks moving, "What are you eating?"
"The candy that the boy stuffed me just now, do you want one?" Mu Rin blinked and stretched out his hand, and there was a small maltose wrapped in oiled paper in his palm.
Zhong Lijian couldn't cry or laugh, but he still taught with a straight face: "Don't eat anything given by strangers in the future, and children can't do it." ”
"Why?" Mu Rin asked casually, in fact, this sugar is not very delicious, it is not as good as the osmanthus cake bought yesterday, Mu Rin just eats a fresh, seeing that he doesn't take it, he simply takes the sugar back into his purse.
Zhong Lijian sighed, "Let's not talk about whether it's clean or not, what if there is ecstasy in it? This world is not very peaceful, there are many abductors, and they specialize in abducting and selling a little girl as big as you."
Mu Rin was a little puzzled, "What are they kidnapping me for?"
Zhong Lijian couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "...... Selling for money will sell you to a place where you have no freedom, and even force you to make money day and night. ”
Mu Rin swallowed the sugar, "Terrible." ”
Nothing compares to freedom, and if life is confined to a corner and cannot feel the changes in the world, what is the point of the soul being eternal?
"Then you just listen to Zhongli obediently and don't run around. ”
"Oh. "It turned out that waiting for her here, Zhongli would coax the child.
Zhong Lijian hired an ox cart and took them out of the city and along the wilderness trail to Linxian.
Mu Rin pulled the curtain of the car and looked out, colorful wildflowers bloomed on the roadside, and white butterflies danced among the flowers and plants. She watched the freshness for a while, pinned the curtain to the side and fixed it, and sat in the car enjoying the breeze and sunshine.
Mu Rin fell asleep after a while, the ox cart was shaking, Zhong Lijian was afraid of bumping her, so he sighed and took her into his arms, and gently stroked her long hair while being in a trance.
Mu Rin's figure seemed to stiffen for a moment, and then relaxed again.
About two hours later, Mu Rin woke up in a daze, and felt that the bones in his body were about to be shaken apart, and he was about to rush to Zhongli to do some activities, when he heard Zhongli say, "We have arrived." ”
