C65 (1/2)
After dinner, Zhou Ping arranged for Chen Jing and the others to enter the hotel. After arriving at the hotel, Chen Jing hurriedly took out the satellite phone that he had asked Zhou Ping for.
”Ah, Brother Chen Jing, what's wrong with you? ”Why didn't you come back for two days?” You Caitou asked anxiously the moment the call connected. It seemed like they had been in a hurry for the past two days.
Our plane fell into Taihu Lake, but everyone is still safe. We arrived in Su City today, so we didn't need to worry about you guys. Afraid that she would be anxious, Chen Jing tried his best to make it as light as possible.
Hearing that everyone was safe, You Cai was naturally relieved. She chatted for a bit before the phone call was snatched by Lu Min. Next was Zi Xin, Wang Lei, Zhang Xiang, and so on. It seemed like they were having a gathering today.
”Big brother, when will you be back? Come back quickly! I'm sorry, Big Brother. I failed you. I lost your Mianzhou. ” The one who spoke was Zhang Jianjun, Chen Jing naturally recognized him.
”Third Brother, don't say that. Why is Mianzhou all by myself? Brother, how can you be so ambitious? It doesn't matter. No matter who is in charge of Mianzhou, as long as they treat the people of Mianzhou well, it will be fine. ” In the past two days, Chen Jing had already thought through this matter.
Soon after, Chen Jing chatted with the dozen or so people over there for a while. After hanging up the phone, it was almost midnight.
Lying on the bed, Chen Jing couldn't fall asleep, so she got out of bed and flew out of the hotel room window.
The sky had finally cleared. Staring at the sky, he saw a crescent moon hanging on the horizon. The faint moonlight illuminated the tall buildings of Su City. As one of China's fastest growing cities and a new first-tier city before the catastrophe, it was hard to hide its former glory even after more than two years had passed.
Bathing in the cool moonlight of the night in Su City, Chen Jing glided silently above the tall building. At this moment, Su City was very quiet. There were no lights, and no signs of human life. Chen Jing felt bored after circling a few times. Just as he was about to fly back, he suddenly heard shadows of people moving in front of him. Under his curiosity, he flew over. As they flew closer, Chen Jing discovered that they were in an abandoned city district. Weeds and living things could be seen in the cracks in the mud on the streets, in the sewers, even in the roofs and walls. At this moment, on a deserted street, a few men were surrounding a little girl, trying to snatch a bag from her hands. There seemed to be an animal inside the bag, because the bag was constantly moving.
At this moment, a man was snatching the bag while the little girl had already been dragged to the ground. However, both of her hands were tightly holding the bag and she wouldn't let go even if she died.
”Stop!” Seeing the situation, Chen Jing hurriedly grabbed the short stick and threw it into the other's hand. The person immediately released the cloth bag with a pinch on the back of his hand. The little girl snatched the bag away and hugged it tightly to her chest. Then, she looked up at Chen Jing.
The girl looked to be about eleven to twelve years old. She was a bit thin, and her clothes were worn out. Her face was dirty, and her appearance could not be seen. She was looking at Chen Jing warily.
”Hehe, where did this stuff come from? Why are you not placing any highlights on it? Are you even able to interfere with the matters of our Green Dragon Gang?” Chen Jing was about to speak, but the man with the back of his hand had already opened his mouth. Soon after, the other four people also came forward, placing Chen Jing and the little girl in the center.
”Brat, what should we do now? Men are in a good mood today. I don't think you want to see men in a bad mood, right?” One of the long-haired man jokingly said as he reached out his hand to pat Chen Jing's face.
”Haha, the opposite is true. I just want to see if this grandpa is in a bad mood!” Chen Jing was also in a good mood. He grabbed the man's hand and exerted a little force with his fingers, causing a light cracking sound to ring out.
”Yah!” After the long haired man let out a pig-like scream, he used his other hand to pull out a short stick, waving it around as he said, ”Brothers, hit him! Beat him to death!”
The rest of them took out all sorts of weapons and started waving at Chen Jing. However, Chen Jing was far from being able to fulfill their wish. After a few punches and kicks, the ground was covered with fallen bodies. After those people got up, they glanced at Chen Jing. They knew that they were no match for him, so they ran away. Before leaving, they even said harshly, ”Just you wait, just you wait.”
”Little girl, what's your name?” Seeing that those people had run away, Chen Jing squatted down and asked the little girl. Although this little girl's face was very dirty, she still had a pretty look. If she was washed clean, she would still be a little beauty.
Big brother, my name is Tang Xin. Thank you big brother. The little girl also knew how to be grateful, but she was more concerned about home.
”Alright, be careful on your way. Be careful.” Seeing the girl's disappearing figure, Chen Jing was about to turn back when he suddenly realized that he had overlooked something. Those bullies couldn't do anything to him, but it wasn't difficult to bully a little girl. Chen Jing couldn't help but regret letting those hoodlums leave just now.
”Never bring disaster to a little girl because of yourself.” Thinking of this, Chen Jing started to chase after the little girl. Not long after, Chen Jing saw a thin and frail figure in front of him. Seeing this, Chen Jing quickly caught up.
”Big Brother, you?” Tang Xin obviously hadn't expected Chen Jing to catch up.
”Oh, it's like this. Uncle, I don't have a home here, so I wanted to visit Qin'er's. Would Qin'er welcome me?” Chen Jing casually found an excuse.
”Really? Great! When we get home, Qin'er will cook some rat meat for big brother to eat. ” Tang Xin was obviously very happy.
”Thank you so much, Qin'er. Her cooking skills must be pretty good!” Chen found himself liking this girl more and more.
”Of course, I can cook rat meat. Mom and Grandpa are both praising Qin'er!” The little girl seemed really capable.
”Qin'er lives with mother and aunt and grandfather?” Chen Jing was surprised, in this world, people who could be together with their loved ones were rarely seen.
