Li Qingyan stared at the girl for a while.

Then the wind picked up. She stood alone between the sentry post and the demons, and her figure looked very thin. The farm girl is plainly dressed, but her back is tall and beautiful. Then a thought suddenly came to him in his heart - this thought had always been there, but at this time he made a decision.

- She can use it.

"Okay. Li Qingyan sighed lowly, "You mean to say that there are internal ghosts in the promotion association." Some people want me to save her, and some people want me to kill her. Since that's the case, I'll stay here with Brother Cheng for a while. We used to have feelings...... Brother Cheng shouldn't really pick my skin. ”

Li Cheng sneered: "I don't count if I say this." ”

Li Qingyan let out a "hmm" and walked out with his feet raised.

He took a dozen steps, and the girl turned. Seeing that she seemed to shrink slightly, it seemed like there was nowhere to hide. But she gritted her teeth, and there seemed to be hope in her eyes—albeit faintly.

Li Qingyan walked up to her and stopped outside the cordon. But instead of speaking to the girl, he said to the two city defenders: "Comrade, we are going into the city." ”

It wasn't until he said it a second time that the one who spoke before turned his face and frowned: "Migration certificate." ”

Li Qingyan reached out and touched his trouser pocket, took out two folded pieces of paper, and unfolded them: "Here." ”

Star fruit's heart beat again. She felt like she saw hope. But I also saw that Li Cheng and Sister Mandarin Duck on the demon's side got together and said a few words, and then Li Cheng frowned and walked this way. It was as if he realized something was wrong.

The city defense army only swept their eyes at the two pieces of paper in Li Qingyan's hand and "sneered": "What is this? I want a migration certificate." ”

At this time, Li Cheng walked behind the two of them, stopped two steps away from them, and sneered: "Xiao Yan'er, I asked you to bring her back, not to take her into the city." What, trying to slip under my nose?"

He tilted his head slightly and smiled at the two city defense soldiers: "Old Zhou and Lao Liu, this kid used to be my person." Now it's a member of the Promotion Association. I'm here to take him away today, is it okay?"

The soldier who was called Lao Zhou also smiled at him: "Promotion? What could that be the matter—civil-military cooperation. I'll leave these two to you today. ”

"Huh. Li Cheng sneered, "Xiao Yan'er—"

But Li Qingyan raised his hand, revealing the white bracelet on his right wrist. He calmly said to the city defense army called Lao Zhou: "I am a ninth-level civil servant of the Republic, not a radical member of the Promotion Association. You can sweep my bracelet. These two are service certificates issued by the unit, and you can also check them. ”

The two city defense troops were slightly stunned. Li Cheng frowned, and his face sank.

After a little hesitation, Lao Zhou took two steps and took the two pieces of paper in Li Qingyan's hand to read.

One of them reads, "I hereby have Li Qingyan, a staff member of my office, go out of the city to do business, and hereby prove that it is for the pass." The other reads, "There is a staff member of our office, Li Qingyan, who temporarily dispatched the May Fourth farm worker star fruit into the city for official purposes, and hereby proves that it is hoped to pass."

The words were handwritten — star fruit realized it was all Li Qingyan's own handwriting — but both sheets of paper were stamped with a big red official seal: "Hongyang Sub-district Office, Qingjiang District, Beishan City."

Lao Zhou looked over and over again. Li Cheng said in a deep voice: "Old Zhou." Sell me a favor today, I remember this time. ”

The city defense army looked up at Li Qingyan, and then at Li Cheng.

Hand the two pieces of paper back to him: "This one won't work. To migrate the certificate. ”

Li Cheng laughed.

Li Qingyan also laughed. He looked into Lao Zhou's eyes: "Comrade, do you know what the benefits of people like you and me are in the system?"

"It's just that someone will take care of something happening. For example, even if I'm just working in the street, I'm a small clerk. But if you are taken away by bandits in the wasteland at the gate of this checkpoint today, there will always be someone to pursue it. Because the abduction of civil servants by bandits and the abduction of civilians by bandits are not the same nature. ”

"Even if your chief has a big face and can turn things into small things, someone still has to take responsibility. Li Qingyan handed him the paper again, "Who will take the blame when the time comes? The chief of the sentry tower is still the two of you? I can guarantee that even under the best circumstances, your life in the next two or three months will not be easy." The inspectors will come, the gendarmes will come, and the people from the Taoist sect will come. ”

"You're all innocent, and there's nothing wrong with surviving these months. But I usually have received a lot of benefits from this Cheng brother - at that time, do you still want to do this fat difference again in the future? So from your point of view, I sincerely suggest - don't sell his face this time. ”

Li Cheng shouted in a deep voice: "Old Zhou, don't listen to his nonsense!"

But the city guards ignored him this time. frowned, hesitated for a moment, and took the two pieces of paper in Li Qingyan's hand. At the same time, he took out a palm-sized code scanner from behind him and swept it on Li Qingyan's wrist.

Another soldier also came over, and the two confirmed the information on the display of the code scanner. Then they coughed and pretended to study the two pieces of paper: "Do you see this okay?"

"Okay?" said another, "with a unit stamp." Politically, too. ”

"Hmm...... Then go ahead. Lao Zhou raised his head and said impatiently, "Let's go." Hurry up. ”

Li Qingyan smiled, took the girl's hand, and crossed the cordon. He noticed that star fruit's hand trembled slightly—he couldn't see it when he didn't touch her.

"Stop!" Li Cheng shouted angrily, "I'm going to decide these two people today!"

His voice had changed. It had spoken in a slightly lower voice of a young man, but now it was dull as if it had come from a gap in the valley. Star fruit subconsciously turned its head to look and saw a terrible scene.

His body swelled in a circle. Knotted muscles hold the jeans up and reveal their well-defined silhouette. His face was dark, and his cheeks were covered with fine black hairs. And the top of the head...... Inside that fluffy hair, there seemed to be two sharp horns drilled out!

She quickly turned her face away. After living for seventeen years, for the first time, she saw something she had only heard of - the demon clan was about to appear!!

At this time, I heard the sound of pulling the bolt of the gun—the two city defense soldiers who had been talking and laughing with the gang leader before frowned and shouted: "Li Cheng! He has a point in this matter today, and this face cannot be sold to you—otherwise the brothers will be in trouble." You calm down, don't make trouble here......"

But the demon clan suddenly spewed out a thick white gas from his nostrils, and stepped two steps forward to the cordon. With every step, it was as if something heavy had hit the ground, and everyone could feel a slight tremor under their feet.

"I'm going to take him away today!" The demon clan's body seemed to be getting bigger again, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells, "I have to give this face if I don't give it!!"

Li Qingyan took the star fruit and walked a few steps, and stopped after going around to the roadside bunker not far away. The faces of the two city guards turned cold, and they raised their guns and aimed solemnly at him.

"Don't be embarrassed. Lao Zhou shouted, "I usually give you a little smile, but I really think that you have the final say in the wasteland?

"That's what I said. Li Qingyan squinted his eyes at Li Cheng in the distance and smiled, "It looks like a human." However, when encountering more extreme conditions, it is easy to expose animal nature. ”

Carambola wanted to turn her face away from the scene in front of her, but another thought told her to stare at it. She was trembling with fear when she had stood outside the cordon. But by this time, knowing that she might be out of danger for a while, her heart settled down a little.

And gradually realized...... She is going through a completely different life than she had been for the previous seventeen years.

Are you afraid of this kind of life?

But are you looking forward to it? Do you want to be free from the daily life of labor, eating, laundry, reading the newspaper, and reading the news?

Star fruit bites her lip. She felt that the answer seemed to be yes.
