Chapter 122: Return

Chen Li took Shen Shi and Ling Chunni to the other side of the house, and the other Immortal Society disciples all dispersed, and Xiao Hei, who had not seen a shadow just now, came out of nowhere on the way, and caught up with Shen Shi at a trot, and then still looked lazy, looking around and following him towards the side door.

Along the way, Ling Chunni didn't say much, only occasionally sneaking a glance at Shen Shi. As the three of them had passed through several large houses and through a garden, they came to a small closed door, which was quiet and unoccupied.

Chen Li stopped, turned back to Shen Shi and said, "Shen Gongzi, this is the side gate, and there is a street away from the gate from this gate, so Jiang Shaoyuan and those people may not find out for a while." ”

Shen Shi nodded, thanked him, walked over and opened the door, and went out to take a look, and sure enough, there was a secluded path with few pedestrians outside the door, which didn't seem to be dangerous. He turned around and greeted Ling Chunni, and when she came over, Chen Li suddenly said again:

"Shen Gongzi, that Jiang Shaoyuan is the head of the local 'Iron Tiger Gate', he has a fierce reputation, and there are nearly 100 disciples under him, although the realm of Taoism is not too high, he himself is only a high-level monk of Ning Yuan, and of course he cannot be compared with the famous sect. It's just that this person has made friends with some fox groups and dog parties many years ago, and now they have some status and status, each has its own situation, and has made a title of the Flowing Cloud Beast Alliance, which is a faint alliance of five sects, and each sect has the name of a fierce beast in its name, and they watch and help each other on weekdays, in addition to not daring to provoke the famous factions, they have always been rampant and domineering, and no monk dares to provoke them in their leisure. After many years, he can be regarded as a small bully in Liuyun City. ”

He paused for a moment, with a little more concern on his face, and said softly: "Shen Gongzi is naturally not afraid of such a villain, but if he really matches these people on weekdays, it is better to be careful." ”

Shen Shi didn't expect that the ugly black and thin man would have such a back/scene, after listening to it, he nodded slowly, and when he looked at Chen Li again, his eyes were already a little more gentle, and he hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Brother Chen for your advice, Shen Shi has thanked you here." ”

Chen Li smiled and said nothing, the friendship between Shen Shi and Gu Da Shopkeeper is obviously different from ordinary people, these things are just a mouthful of words for him, but he can leave a favor here in Shen Shi, he has been operating in this immortal club for many years, and other talents dare not say how to excel, but this human relationship is sophisticated, but it is naturally proficient.

Ling Chunni walked out of the door and looked into the street, and then his nervous expression calmed down a little, although he was still a little scared in the depths of his eyes, or he was a little more confused about his future life. But no matter what, it seemed as if she had passed a hurdle for the time being, and she turned around and whispered to Shen Shi, "Shen Gongzi, then I'll go first." ”

Shen Shi nodded, then frowned slightly, and said, "It's okay for you to go back alone, right?"

Ling Chunni hesitated for a moment, his expression seemed a little hesitant, but finally he said in a low voice, "It should be fine." With that, she silently turned around and walked down the steps.

Shen Shi watched the woman walk to the street with a pale face, walking forward alone, her back looked extremely desolate and weak, and a pedestrian passed by her after a few steps, but she seemed to be suddenly startled, and her body subconsciously shrank, but then she found that it was just a stranger without malicious intent, and she was relieved from her nervousness.

Shen Shi shook his head, was silent for a moment, and suddenly turned around and said a few words to Chen Li, Chen Li's face seemed to show a little consternation, and asked for a while, Shen Shi just shook his head, and then took Xiao Hei down the stone steps and walked to this street, quickly caught up with Ling Chunni, and met Ling Chunni's surprised gaze, Shen Shi said lightly:

"Forget it, a good man will do it to the end, I'll send you back, lest if something happens on the way, I, a good man, will do it in vain. ”

Ling Chunni hesitated for a moment and said, "That...... What about the auction over there in the Immortal Society?"

Shen Shi shrugged his shoulders, a little helpless, and said angrily: "I didn't go, I looked around the things there, and none of them were anything I could afford." Anyway, there will be such opportunities in the future, it doesn't matter. ”

Ling Chunni let out a "hmm", his gaze lingered on the man's face, and then quickly retracted it, then lowered his head and continued to walk forward, while Shen Shi walked beside her. From a distance, the figure of the woman who was miserable not long ago seemed to suddenly straighten up, as if she was finally no longer so afraid and desperate.

"Where is your home?"

After walking with Ling Chunni on the streets of Liuyun City for more than half an hour, Shen Shi finally couldn't help but ask her. Ling Chunni was obviously still very careful along the way, mostly choosing secluded streets, including some small streets and alleys, even if she had to walk through the lively streets, she often walked over quietly with her head bowed, but unconsciously she was taken from Nanbaofang to the east of Liuyun City, which was already somewhat close to the places of those vassal families.

Hearing Shen Shi's question, Ling Chunni raised his head, at this moment they were walking to the entrance of a long street, seeing that the pedestrians were very lively, Ling Chunni said softly: "It's almost there, it's not far ahead." ”

Shen Shi nodded, and walked forward side by side with her, just after a few steps, he suddenly thought of something, but frowned: "I just heard that Chen Li of the Immortal Society said, that surnamed Jiang seems to be a native bully here in Liuyun City for many years, I think he is very familiar with this city, since you are ...... Follow him ahead, will he also know where you live, what if he comes to the door later?"

Ling Chunni heard the hint of concern in his words, and there was a burst of warmth in his heart for no reason, he glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "The front is my godmother's residence, and I live in another place in the city on weekdays, in order to be afraid, afraid of this kind of thing, so others generally don't know about this place." ”

Shen Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, "That's good." As he spoke, he was about to continue walking, but at this moment, his eyes just swept over Ling Chunni, but he was suddenly stunned, from all the way here just now, he thought about it over and over again in his heart and paid attention to the surroundings, beware of whether there would be people from the Iron Tiger Gate chasing him, so he didn't really take a closer look at Ling Chunni, and intuitively only remembered that this woman had gone through that ordeal, and she looked very miserable.

It's just that at this moment, I saw that Ling Chunni had vaguely changed a little, the original dirty and miserable appearance had been cleaned up a little by herself, including the hair that had fallen out of the mess before, it was also put together and tidied up, although it looked a little casual, but the whole person still looked much cleaner and neater.

There are still some scars at the corners of her mouth, but the blood has been wiped away by her, and there is a wisp of red in her pale complexion.

It's like the glimmer of light that comes out of the occasional wipe after the pearl is dusty, but it is touching.

Under the white neck, the originally beautiful clothes have some torn scars, but they are also pulled as neatly as she can, and between the walks, the plump snow that can't be concealed reveals the alluring scenery, and a deep canyon is faintly visible under the placket, which has a kind of beauty that makes the mouth dry.

Shen Shi suddenly looked away, looked ahead, and walked slowly. Behind him, Ling Chunni glanced at him silently, his eyes seemed to be a little hazy, but there seemed to be some indescribable faint light, he pursed his lips slightly, and then followed gently.

When this long street was halfway through, Ling Chunni stopped at a place on the side of the street, Shen Shi glanced around, and saw that between the two high-rise buildings on the side of the road, there was a narrow alley, and there was a lot of garbage piled up near the mouth of the alley, and the sewage flowed sideways, which looked very dirty.

He glanced at Ling Chunni a little strangely, and Ling Chunni walked to the edge of the alley and said softly: "My godmother's residence is in this alley, which is dirty and messy on weekdays, almost no one comes, and only one of us lives in a dilapidated house, so it should be very safe." ”

Shen Shi nodded and said, "So that's the case, then you can go." ”

Ling Chunni took two steps into the alley, and suddenly turned to look at Shen Shi again, as if he wanted to say something, but then he stopped talking.

Shen Shi was a little strange and said, "What's wrong?"

Ling Chunni thought for a moment, but still a little apologetic, and said in a low voice: "The alley is dirty and messy, and there is a bad smell, it is really not a good place to go, and the house inside is also in tatters, I, I won't invite my son in to sit." ”

Shen Shi smiled and said, "Some little things, don't remember them, okay, you go." ”

Ling Chunni glanced at him deeply, I don't know if I want to remember his face more deeply, maybe after today's farewell, there will be no time to see each other again?

After all, he and he have never been the same kind of people.

She bent down lightly at Shen Shi, then silently turned around and walked briskly towards the depths of the alley, where a deep dark shadow filled the alley and quickly overwhelmed her figure.

Watching Ling Chunni's back disappear into the depths of the deep and winding alley, Shen Shi subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but then there was an inexplicable melancholy in his heart for no reason. This mood is not strong, the plain may not even be considered a loss, maybe it is just that he saw a beautiful woman like Ling Chunni, but he was contaminated by the wind and dust.

Thinking about it carefully, Shen Shi was actually a little lucky, even if he had experienced many hardships and twists and turns, but he had always grown up in a fairly stable family environment, and in the future, he even worshiped a famous sect such as Lingxiao Sect.

A woman like Ling Chunni has no strengths, and if she wants to get the spirit crystal of cultivation, can she only take this path?

He couldn't figure it out for a while, but his mood was suddenly not very good, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, maybe life was such a harsh reality?

Some people sit high above and have everything, and some people are born humble and desperately struggling, but in the end they can only be broken into nothing?

So what is it?

He walked forward in some silence, full of thought, but did not notice that two men came up to him with blank faces, passed him, and as they reached the mouth of the dirty alley, their steps paused, and then they turned a corner, and at the same time entered the alley.

In front of the street, Shen Shi walked and walked, and suddenly seemed to feel something, his body stopped and turned around, and his eyes looked behind him, but he saw that the place behind him was empty and there was nothing.

He stood there, silent, as if in a moment of hesitation he wanted to remember something, but found nothing, and then, with some hesitation, glanced further down the street, and the mouth of the alley beyond his gaze was as dirty as ever, and darkness was everywhere.
