The conversation of the little old men
The little old men were all emotional people. One moment they were joking, the next moment they became serious. Jiang Liu'er quickly listened carefully. Who knew, these words might be of great help to him.
”Of course, these youngsters are interested in young ladies who wander the streets by themselves in the middle of the night.” Of course, of course, these youngsters are interested in young ladies who walk the streets by themselves in the middle of the night.
”Those young lads were so happy, it was as if they had been cut off by this girl. I didn't expect this little girl to have such a fiery temper and immediately give a slap to the face. These lads are definitely unhappy and were about to attack at any moment, but this little girl has already spoken.”
”Mhmm, the little girl's aura is quite good. We little old geezers wanted to help her, but we little geezers actually lost our teeth in the blink of an eye. We little geezers are just running like piss.”
”When the young man was running away, it was still a young lady who was caught. She asked if she had seen anyone called River Child before.”
When Jiang Liu'er heard this, the corner of her mouth twitched uncontrollably. A bad premonition surfaced in his mind.
”That young man was so scared that he pissed his pants. Hahaha, he gave us little old men a good laugh. Oh yeah, young man, I've been chatting with you for so long, what's your name?”
Jiang Liu'er gave an awkward laugh and revealed her name.
”Jiang Liu'er?”
The few old men looked at each other and spoke in unison.
”So it's you, Jiang Liu'er.”
Jiang Liu'er smiled and nodded. She quickly found an excuse to slip away and ran all the way home. It wasn't until she sat on the sofa that she finally let out a sigh of relief.
Who would have thought that after eating breakfast, he would reap so much rewards? ”Sob, sob, sob.”
Jiang Liu'er was startled by the sound that suddenly came from her body. She calmed her heart to sense the black gas in her Dantian and quickly adjusted her position to be comfortable.
After one night and one morning, a lot of the black gas had gathered in his dantian. He had to hurry and absorb it, or else he would not be able to absorb it when it reached saturation.
Only after an hour had passed did Jiang Liu'er completely absorb the black gas. She took a deep breath to calm herself down.
Sitting on the sofa, Jiang Liu'er recalled every word that the old men had said to her this morning. If she wasn't mistaken, Xuanyuan Mingxue was either an idiot or there was something that prevented her from returning.
Jiang Liu'er didn't need to worry about this, because those old men had already given him a clear message that they would be able to find Xuanyuan Mingxue.
The dark path the old man used to walk, and at night, what River Child now had to do, was wait.
”Let's try our luck. Maybe we will meet again?”
Jiang Liu'er thought for a while, then hurriedly packed up and left the house. It was possible that if he delayed for a while, Xuanyuan Mingxue would encounter some trouble.
Jiang Liu'er wasn't exactly familiar with the streets near the residential complex, but he still knew a bit about them. He followed the directions the old men had given and found Jiang Liu'er easily, but …
Jiang Liu'er had long known that there was a dumpster behind the district, but he didn't expect that the place the old man told him about was this dumpster.
”Xuanyuan Mingxue couldn't really be here, right?”
Jiang Liu'er was a little skeptical. In a place like this, Xuanyuan Mingxue shouldn't be reduced to such a state, right?
However, it wasn't impossible. Jiang Liu'er could only brace herself and try.
The first reason was that there weren't any decent garbage collection stations around the district. Many homeless people had gathered here to pick up scraps, but it had been a long time since someone managed it, so the environment was getting worse.
Secondly, like the old man said, there would always be some gangsters appearing here. These people were like trash in society. The two names coincided, so everyone was used to calling this place a trash spot.
The air in this area wasn't very good. Jiang Liu'er pinched her nose as she passed by the vagabonds lying on the ground. Because she couldn't take a bath for a long time, a sour smell wafted from their bodies.
Although Jiang Liu'er felt that the smell was bad, she still pitied these people because it was very possible that they were actually unpolished jade, just that they lacked an opportunity to become proficient in it.
Forget it, now was not the time for him to fight for these people. His current mission was to find Xuanyuan Mingxue as soon as possible …
Perhaps it was destined in the underworld, or perhaps Jiang Liu'er and Xuanyuan Mingxue had the ability to sense each other, but just as he was about to leave the area, he bumped into Xuanyuan Mingxue.
”How did you become like this?” Jiang Liu'er looked at Xuanyuan Mingxue's tattered clothes and the wounds on her body. Her heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife as blood dripped from the pain.
Although Jiang Liu'er knew how powerful Xuanyuan Mingxue was, but … After all, he was a girl, not to mention that she had always been by Jiang Liu'er's side. As a man, Jiang Liu'er had the responsibility to protect Xuanyuan Mingxue.
