There was a noisy arguing in the yard, and the two reacted and left with a little embarrassment.
Ye Peitian stood up awkwardly, "I'll go out and have a look."
He was a little flustered when he left, tripped over the foot of the bed, and nearly fell to the ground.
A tall, thin woman with heavy makeup stood outside the yard. She held a slender metal cigarette pipe that was popular again in this era, and instructed several men of five sizes and three thick men to drag Xiao Mu out of the opposite room. .
Xiao Mu broke free from the hands that were pulling him, "Sister Lin, the money I owe you has been paid off with interest. What else do you want?"
"If you say you pay it off, you will pay it off?" Sister Lin lifted the cigarette rod, took a puff of cigarette, and exhaled a thin ring of smoke, "You're a lamb's profit, and you have to pay back double the principal."
"You!" Xiao Mu rushed forward angrily, his arms were twisted from left to right by two burly men and pressed to the ground.
"Brother." A blind little girl groped out the door and called him anxiously.
"Who told you to come out? Go back to the house!" Xiao Mu turned his face and scolded in the direction of the little girl.
The little girl shuddered, bit her lip tightly, and slowly took a few steps back.
Looking at his blind sister, Xiao Mu compromised and lowered his head, "Sister Lin, give me a way to live."
"It's pretty decent." Sister Lin raised her chin with thin fingers and puffed a cigarette on his face, "Go to my place to work for a month, and forget about it."
"I'm not going," Xiao Mu turned his face away, showing a look of resentment, "the people you go there are all perverts. No one can live for a month. Sister Lin, give me a little time, and I will make up for the demon seed. superior."
Sister Lin raised her brows and stared down at the young man lying in front of her with three white eyes, "You haven't figured it out yet, in this world, weak people like you have no right to choose."
She straightened up and took a breath, "Beat me until I'm finished."
There was a dull sound of fists and feet in the yard, and the young man who fell to the ground curled up his thin body, clasped his head tightly, and did not let himself beg for mercy.
The doors of the houses in the courtyard were quietly opened a crack. Outside the courtyard were standing in the distance of passers-by. People peeped numbly at the atrocity, and no one thought what should be done.
"Do you need to be so cruel?" A woman's voice came from the dark alley opposite.
Sister Lin raised her eyes, rolled her eyes, and spat on the ground, "Wu Lili, don't you want to be in this business?"
The voices in the alley seemed to be caught in the throat, and instantly quieted down.
This Sister Lin herself is a fourth-order saint. In this base with not many high-ranking saints, she reluctantly opened a small field in Hualiu Lane next door that could not reach the stage by means of various inferior means. There are several thugs under her, and ordinary people living at the bottom don't dare to provoke her casually.
She didn't wait for the begging for mercy she wanted to hear for a long time, and Sister Lin began to feel impatient.
"Okay, break your legs and take it back."
Just when she uttered these words that wantonly decide the life and death of others.
A man suddenly appeared beside her without warning.
The man's dark forehead was covered with a blindfold, and he could not see his eyebrows and expression.
Sister Lin only saw the finely textured dark silver covering her eyes and turning towards her. The next moment, she felt a sharp pain in her body and was kicked out of the courtyard. She hit the telephone pole across the street and fell on the ground. The ground was so painful that I couldn't get up.
The group of thugs who followed her hadn't reacted yet. The man stretched out his long legs and stepped out of the hospital door in one step.
There was a clanging sound in the air, and the humming sound of the sharp weapon being unsheathed echoed in the air. No one saw how he drew the sword or what he did, and no one even caught the flashing light of the sword.
I saw the abandoned telephone pole, which had been slanted into two pieces against Lin Jie's scalp, slowly staggered and fell to the ground.
The smoke and dust from the downed telephone pole dissipated, and people could see the figure of the man holding the long knife. The man stood in front of the threshold, tall, with a silver mask, only showing a strong jaw and tight lips. Line, there is a kind of indifference that no one is close to.
His stature is not strong, but he is thin with tenacity, and his narrow waist has a tension that can burst out huge energy at any time. He held a knife in his hand, which was just a street stall that could be seen everywhere on the street, not a weapon of magic, but almost no one present had the confidence to escape from the knife that was too fast to catch any traces.
The big men who were still showing off their might in the yard just now, all shrugged their necks, hunched their backs, and scurried out cautiously against the yard door, until the man turned back and slammed the two doors of the yard shut, and they were in despair. He went to the side of Sister Lin, who fell on the ground and couldn't get up, and lifted her eldest sister's head up.
Sister Lin endured the pain and got up, and beat them on the head, but did not dare to make a clear sound, endured the shame and hatred, waved her hand, and retreated quietly with a few dedicated subordinates.
They especially like to bully the weak, and they are often extremely afraid of power. When they encounter powers stronger than themselves, they often shrink faster than ordinary people.
Ye Peitian kicked someone, slammed his hand to close the courtyard door, didn't care about anything else, and went back to the house.
All the doors in the compound were hurriedly closed when he came back, Lao Guo slipped out and helped Xiao Mu on the ground,
"I can't see that Lin Fei is still so violent, he's misunderstood, tsk tsk. Young people have a big temper." He shook his head and sighed while sending Xiao Mu back to the room.
Xiao Mu lowered his head, spat out a mouthful of dirty blood, and reluctantly used Lao Guo's strength to walk back without saying a word.
Ye Peitian returned to the house, took Chu Qianxun's hand again, and wrapped the remaining bandages. After such an interruption, the subtle atmosphere between the two just now disappeared.
It's just that his shoulders still seem to have that unique warm touch.
Just because of Chihiro's words, the emotions that had been buried deep in my heart for many years suddenly flooded into my heart. It made him embarrassingly reveal his weakness and powerlessness in front of the people he valued most.
But Chihiro gave him a hug, a warm hug. After being immersed in the abyss for so many years, it was the first time that someone put him in his arms, who was devastated, and softly told him that it was not his fault.
The more he missed this warmth, the more annoyed those who disturbed them were.
If he hadn't restrained himself, he almost wanted to cut that domineering woman into pieces with one knife.
"Are you still angry?" Chu Qianxun looked left and right, judging from Ye Peitian's tight lips that he was very unhappy.
She took the man's hand amusedly, "Okay, okay, I won't go out to hunt demons today. Shall we go shopping together?"
Ye Peitian turned his face quickly.
He was looking forward to it. Sure enough, he should take more time to accompany him to adjust to the environment, Chu Qianxun thought in his heart.
The sunset gradually infiltrated the horizon, and there were more people in the market.
Chu Qianxun walked forward with great interest, with Ye Peitian by her side.
The brightly lit liveliness flowed by, but it was difficult to enter his eyes. All his attention was only on the palm by his side. Through the cover of his eyes, he boldly lingered on the white palm that naturally fell beside him and swayed gently with his steps.
He knew how warm and soft the hand was. His heart was pounding, and he wanted to pull that hand over, clasped it in his palm, and wouldn't let it go.
But Ye Peitian was not sure whether he had the qualifications to be so close. In the bottom of his heart, he was vaguely afraid that his closeness would bring disaster to the person he cherished.
Chu Qianxun came to a barbecue stall, "Boss, here are ten skewers."
Nowadays, people who can buy ten skewers can be regarded as big customers. The boss enthusiastically agreed to put ten skewers on the charcoal fire and grilled them. The grease on the skewers dripped onto the charcoal fire. , a tantalizing aroma of meat floated, attracting the envy of passers-by.
Originally, even if she had more money, Chu Qianxun was reluctant to spend like this, but when she came out with Ye Peitian, she always hoped that she could give him a little better and more.
"Half spicy, half not." She explained to the boss.
Chu Qianxun has a heavy taste and likes to eat a little spicy food. Ever since Ye Peitian noticed this, every dish he cooks tends to take care of Chu Qianxun's preferences. But in fact, his own taste is actually relatively bland, Ye Peitian couldn't imagine that Qianxun also noticed his taste.
"Come on, eat quickly." Chu Qianxun handed half of the skewers to Ye Peitian.
For some reason, although he could only see a small half of his face, Chu Qianxun could sense that Ye Peitian was in a very happy mood at the moment. Seeing him happy, his heart soared all the way.
On the street not far from them, stood several soldiers wearing uniform armor. Their bright armor and cool weapons bear the unique logo of the Creation Guild.
One of the young warriors turned his head and recognized Chu Qianxun.
"Chihiro? What a coincidence, I met you here."
After identifying it, Chu Qianxun remembered that this was the fire saint Kong Haobo, who he had met in the desert, and wanted to look for Ye Peitian to single out.
At this moment, this young man approached her enthusiastically with the excitement of meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land.
"It's you," Chu Qianxun greeted with a smile, "It's good to see you are safe and sound."
"I should have listened to your advice at the time. I am indeed far worse than the Huangsha Emperor." The young warrior admitted his arrogance frankly, "Fortunately, that person is not a vicious person like you said. , let me live. Otherwise, we won't see each other today."
His two companions came up from behind, hooked his shoulders from left to right,
"Haobo, this beauty is the girl you met in the desert?"
"Sister, thanks to you kindly reminding this idiot, this kid actually left us and ran to single out the demon Ye Peitian. It's also a fool who has a foolish blessing, and he didn't die in the desert."
Kong Haobo became embarrassed by what was said, blushing and scratching his head, "Qianxun, why did you come here?"
"I'm here from Balang to do something, how about you?"
"There are a lot of half-human, half-devil test objects that have been transformed by God's love in the nearby Xiaozhou Village. The situation of the residents there is very bad. We are here to investigate the situation and save those villagers." Kong Haobo said very sincerely and seriously, regardless of whether What is the ultimate purpose of their union, this man's heart may sincerely think that he is on this journey to save.
The young and handsome warrior, with a blushing face, excitedly told about his journey. A beautiful and gentle girl, standing in front of him, listened with a smile.
In the night market of Huoshu Yinhua, this scene looked warm and right, but it stung Ye Peitian's heart. He suddenly took two steps forward, holding the hand he pondered all the way but did not dare to hold.
At that moment he was nervous, his palms even sweated slightly, he was afraid that the hand would show resistance and break free from him.
But Chihiro just looked up at him, moved her fingertips slightly, and held his palm instead.
"This, who is this?" Only then did he discover Ye Peitian's existence, and Kong Haobo was a little stumped when he greeted him.
"This is my friend, Lin Fei." Chu Qianxun didn't want to say more, and simply introduced Kong Haobo, said goodbye and left.
Looking at the back of the two holding hands and disappearing in the crowd, Kong Haobo instantly slumped.
"Hahaha, it's rare that our old Kong Chun's heart is budding, and it's really pitiful to be killed so quickly."
"I just said that such a beautiful girl must have a master. It's okay, Lao Kong, let's not be sad, look up and there are better ones waiting for you in front of you."
His brothers giggled about his young, easy-going heart.
At this moment, standing on a high ground outside Baima Town, a group of mysterious people dressed in robes and their faces covered looked at the dimly lit human station in front of them.
the land under their feet. Half the head of a kind of dog-shaped beast appeared. This high-level summoned beast with peculiar markings on its head is a summoned beast known for its extremely sensitive sense of smell and good at tracking enemies over long distances. Act underground.
"The smell of blood all the way disappears near here." A unique magnetic voice came from the ground.
"Sister Huaiyu, what do you think? There are a lot of people." One of them said several times.
"Don't mind, for the coming of God, a little sacrifice is necessary." The woman in the lead stretched out her white and soft palm and waved it gently.
Immediately, someone brought a huge iron cage and removed the special baffles on all four sides. A harsh and sharp sound immediately came from the cage, and a high-level man with severed limbs and wings was imprisoned in the cage. sleepless. As the cage opened, the sleepless man's mutilated torso was rapidly recovering.
The special sound waves of the insomniac were transmitted far away, the dense forest in the distance began to shake violently, and the earth also faintly vibrated. All the monsters in a large area nearby were summoned by this angry insomniac and gathered here.
A male saint, with a pair of bat-like wings born from his back, spread his wings and patted in the air, lifted the cage where the insomniac was imprisoned, circled in the air, and flew towards the sky over White Horse Town.
"Exploration team ready."
Several people in the team took off the hoods on the heads of the prisoners who were pinned beside them. These prisoners with restricted freedom of movement are the products of the Institute of Divine Love. They all have hideous scars on their faces. They can't see, hear, or speak. They have been deprived of their five senses. They have deliberately exercised a certain search ability. They can perceive the fluctuation of surrounding powers in a small area. for canine people.
"In groups of three, bring the dog people in. Once you find an earth-type power user, check it out and report it immediately." The female saint headed by put on a walkie-talkie and began to give instructions.
There was a neat sound of promise from behind, and a group of figures in robes rushed towards White Horse Town.
"There are no high-level saints in Baima Town. The monster summoned by the Sleepless One should be able to shock the entire town. If Ye Peitian is hiding in it, it must be unavoidable." The accompanying subordinates said. "Sister Huaiyu, this time, we will be able to successfully capture him and dedicate it to the Holy Father."
Fu Huaiyu stared coldly at the brightly lit base in front of him. After a night, under the attack of a large number of monsters, this place may become a dead city. But it seemed to her that it was just a little thing that was not enough to move her.
"Ye Peitian, the man who brutally killed my sister. I will definitely catch him with my own hands and let him taste a hundred times the pain of my sister."
The night was dark, the crowd at the market gradually thinned, and the base that had been lively for a day fell silent.
Some of the people here have fought a bloody battle with monsters for a day, and some have just gotten rid of the heavy labor in exchange for an expected ration. They returned to their safe base and entered their home. Although the living conditions may not be very good, at least I can rest my breath and have a good night's rest.
Ye Peitian held Chu Qianxun's hand and walked slowly in the West Alley. The lights here were very dim, and the water on the road reflected their clasped hands in the night.
Ye Peitian only felt that his heart was in a mess, intertwined with anxiety and happiness. He didn't know why he was so impulsive and made such a move all of a sudden. But once that hand was held, the warm touch was truly held in his own hand, and he was unwilling to let go no matter what.
He turned his face and found that Chu Qianxun also happened to be looking at him.
Those eyes glowed brightly under the moonlit night in late autumn, revealing a friendship that made him extremely happy. There was an unfamiliar emotion called happiness, bubbling up from the bottom of his heart and stuffing his whole heart to the brim.
That's it, maybe I can live with her like this too.
That's it, maybe we can walk with him like this.
The two were thinking at the same time.
Somewhere in the base, a huge roar suddenly sounded, and a harsh roar rushed through like a tide, covering the entire base and spreading far away.
The earth began to vibrate, and the night sky heard the humming of monster wings flapping.
The silent base was awakened by the sudden attack of hordes of monsters.
Most of the residents who woke up in their sleep looked at the overwhelming monsters in horror, and remembered the despair of the day when the demons came.
Throughout the base, screams of terror and fierce battles sounded everywhere.
After five years of training, the battle-hardened warriors put on their armor, some lifted their weapons and jumped on the roof, some rushed to the city gate to participate in the defense, they had to fight for their homeland.
On the high roof on the opposite side of the alley, the wall brick fell, and a huge magic claw grabbed the wall. Then a ferocious and terrifying monster crawled out from there. Its body on the roof almost blocked most of the narrow sky on the alley.
In the moonlight, it turned its head, and the huge bright yellow pupils stared at the two people who were clasping their hands in the alley.
On the ground at the entrance of the alley behind them, a small, blood-red monster slowly crawled out. The monster's humanoid face spit out a long lizard-like tongue. Go up the vertical outer wall of the building and rush towards the two of them.
"One per person." After Chu Qianxun finished saying this, he took out his two swords and went to face the monster in front of him.
