Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Empty Tin Box
Marlowe's words gave Wind Light a great encouragement. Regardless of whether it can succeed or not, there is hope only if it is done. So, they're already on their way out of town. It was getting late at night, and there weren't many pedestrians on the street. As they passed through a roadside alley, they suddenly heard a shrill shout. This is clearly a female voice, and the reason why it stopped abruptly seems to be that someone suddenly covered her mouth. Marlowe didn't think about it, and immediately rushed into the dark alley, and the wind followed softly without knowing what was happening.
Marlowe saw a man at the end of the alley pressing a woman against a wall, trying to commit violence.
The woman struggled desperately, but the man was much stronger than her, and she could not break free. Hearing that, the man laughed and said, "Where can you find such a beautiful girl? You will obediently follow Uncle Ben! If you don't want to do it here, go back with me, my bed is very comfortable, you will like it......" Then he picked up the woman.
"Let her go!" Marlowe shouted at the rascal, with a thunderous voice.
"Who are you, dare to meddle with Uncle Ben's business?" said the rascal as he let go of his hand and turned to look at Marlowe.
"Do you want to know who I am? Come here and I'll tell you. Marlowe slowly picked up his right fist and spun it habitually.
"Brother Marlowe, is it really you?" It turned out that the woman who was molested actually knew Marlowe.
When Marlowe heard this, he looked at it and recognized the woman, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded. "I don't care who you are, I have to teach you a lesson today!" the rascal roared, and charged straight at Marlowe with his fist raised.
"I'm your talisman!" Marlowe said coldly, his right fist flying to the moon, hitting the rogue's left temple, knocking his head crooked. The poor scoundrel's head turned at an impossible angle, and he fell to the ground with a whimper.
Marlowe killed one person in seconds as soon as he made a move, and the two daughters were dumbfounded.
He ...... Is it dead?" asked the chasing wind, staring at a corpse on the ground in a daze.
"Yes, it is not a pity for such people to die. "Marlowe is as calm as if he had just stepped on an ant.
"Brother Marlowe, you ...... You killed someone. The girl who was molested by the hooligans just now looked a little flustered.
"Do you know each other?" the wind softly listened to the girl's address to Marlowe, and was so surprised that she couldn't help but ask.
"Acquaintance!" Ma Luo said frankly, "Let me introduce, this is Miss Yuan, Yuan Xiaoke." She's a friend I just met, Gentle Breeze, Miss Breeze. ”
"Miss Yuan...... Hello. The wind gently took the initiative to say hello.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xiaoke ignored her, turned his eyes to Ma Luo, and said to him: "Brother Ma Luo, your father is sick, go home and see him!"
"I won't go back if I don't come to this set. Ma Luo turned his back to Yuan Xiaoke and continued: "I still have something to do, so I won't send you, you can go back by yourself!"
"How can you say that? What I said is true, not only do you not believe it, but you want to drive me away?" Yuan Xiaoke frowned slightly and said angrily.
"I've made it very clear, if you don't go, I'll go!" said Marlowe, taking the gentle hand of the wind and striding out.
"To Marlowe! I'm ...... I hate you!" Yuan Xiaoke paused, turned around and ran away.
Marlowe took her hand and led her all the way out of the alley. At this time, the wind gently shook off Marlowe's hand and said, "Don't worry about my business anymore......"
"What's the matter, my eldest lady? Did I mess with you again?" said Marlowe, shaking his head.
"You didn't mess with me, but I don't want to be with you anymore. Feng said softly, "You are really cold-blooded, just now you abused lynching, punched people to death, and you didn't even go back to visit your own father when he was sick, which disgusted me." ”
"Don't believe that nonsense, my father is very strong, how can he say that he is sick, even if it is a minor illness such as a cold or flu, can I make a special trip back to see him?" said Marlowe disdainfully.
"Who are you, that woman?" asked the wind softly tentatively.
"Just a friend, are you interested in her?" said Marlowe.
"She just cried and walked away, do you know how much you said hurt her heart?"
"That stupid girl, we can't be together at all, she can't even see through this, and she deserves to be sad. Marlowe said with a grim face and without mercy.
"You...... Why did you suddenly become so terrible?" said the wind softly, "you don't care about other people's feelings at all, and treat human life as if it were a careless...... You...... You're a cold-blooded executioner, I'm really blind, I mistook you!", he turned around angrily and wanted to leave.
"Wait!" cried Marlowe, "without my help, I'm afraid you won't find a companion, and you won't even be able to save your life." ”
"It's my business, and even if I die, it's none of your business. The wind said softly with his back to Marlowe.
"Don't do that!" Marlowe said in a slower tone, "Maybe you're right, I'm cold-blooded and ruthless, but I'm absolutely infatuated with you, and I won't treat you badly." ”
"That's wishful thinking on your part, I'm telling you, I will never take a fancy to you!" Feng said softly, and then moved away from the lotus step and ran forward.
"Miss Wind......" said Marlowe leisurely, "have you noticed anything missing?"
When the wind heard it gently, it immediately stopped, as if it were electrocuted. She quickly groped around for a while, then turned around, and before she could speak, Marlowe was already holding a small tin box, shook it in front of her, and said, "Is this what you are looking for?"
"Give it back to me!" Feng gently reached out to grab it, but grabbed it empty. Marlowe took a step back and said with a smile: "I've seen it, and it contains ashes." You carry it with you, I believe it must be the relics of your loved ones, am I right?"
"Wrascal, when did you steal it?" said the wind softly and angrily.
Marlowe sighed twice and said, "You didn't keep such an important thing, can you blame me?" Originally, I wanted to wait for you to find out that I was missing, and then take it out to surprise you. Now, though, I've changed my mind......"
"What are you going to do to pay me back?" asked the wind softly, angrily.
"I'll pay ......you back now," Marlowe smiled darkly, and then opened the lid of the box, and the ashes inside immediately drifted into the air with the wind.
The wind was soft and shocked, looking at the ashes flying in the sky, and her heart was broken to death.
"I've always counted my words, so I'll give you back this box!" Marlowe approached Breeze and handed her an empty iron box.
The wind was soft, and the apricot eyes were cracking, and he scolded "beast" hatefully, and raised his hand to fight. Marlowe was already on guard, grabbed the jade bowl with a gentle breeze, stared at her and said, "You want to hit me again, I won't be soft on your compassion......
"I'm going to hit you!, why are you doing that...... Why do you want to do this?" said the wind softly, pounding his fist on Marlowe's chest with tears.
Marlo grabbed both hands of the wind gently, clenched it and said: "Since you don't like me, let you hate me unforgettablely, and you will never forget me again...... Haha......"
"You're so vicious, so scary...... I can't wait to burn with you!" said the wind softly, red eyes and gritted teeth.
"Well said, but you don't have the ability!" said Marlowe, "but you're so cute when you're angry, I really want to kiss your face." ”
"Scoundrels!" the wind scolded softly. She was already exhausted, and Marlowe's actions just now made her even worse. She suddenly felt a heat in her head, her eyes closed, and she fainted.
"Miss Wind...... Miss Wind ...... "Marlowe hugged the gentle body of the wind, screamed and screamed, and shook and shaken, but there was no way to wake her up."
This change was unexpected by Marlowe. In desperation, he had to make a decision - to go home.
An hour later, Marlowe had returned to the house with the wind in his arms.
"Young master, you're back!" a male butler came out of the house, and when he saw Marlowe, he immediately greeted him with joy and said.
"Don't make a noise, go find a doctor for me immediately, I'll wait for you in my room. Marlowe commanded, and then gently entered the house with the wind.
The housekeeper only agreed, and did not dare to say more, so he hurried to find a doctor.
It turned out that Marlowe was the only son of the richest man in the city, and many businesses in the city were the property of the Xiang Group, which was why he didn't have to spend money to go to the clothing store, and he could settle the shopkeeper in just a few words. His home is also one of the best mansions in the city, not only magnificent, beautiful, but also surrounded by high walls, the defense line is as solid as a bunker, unless invited by the master, otherwise ordinary people must not easily cross into the territory half a step.
Marlowe gently carried the unconscious Feng into his room, laid her flat on the bed, looked down at her and confessed: "Miss Feng, it's me who is bad, I shouldn't make you angry...... Don't worry, when you wake up, I will sincerely apologize to you and stop doing anything that disgusts you. ”
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
Marlowe didn't think it would be the doctor coming, so he impatiently asked outside, "Who?"
"Young master, I am the second housekeeper, the master is very sick, do you want to go and see him?" said a deep voice from outside the door.
"How good can it be, isn't it dead yet?" said Marlowe, still opening the door.
"Young master, how can you say that, he is your father!" the second butler, a thick man of medium stature, said to Marlowe in a serious tone at this moment.
"Got it...... But I'm not free right now, so if the doctor comes, I'll pass it on, and the rest won't be seen. If there's nothing else to do, let's step back first!" Marlowe didn't wait for the second butler to say anything, and had already slammed the door shut.
