the other side.
The white moonlight shines on the streets of Shangjiang City. Under the silent night sky, the gray-haired old woman who entered the city during the day is holding a stubborn donkey in one hand and a medicine basket in the other.
The sound of donkey hooves "ta da da da" resounded in the alley.
The little boy on the stubborn donkey raised his head slightly and looked at the high wall beside him.
"arrive?"
The old woman turned around, nodded, and said softly: "We're here, are you taking a rest, or should we go in now?"
The little boy slowly opened his eyes after hearing this.
In the dark eye sockets, a pair of white eyes without pupils looked slightly ferocious under the silent night sky.
The little boy with red lips and white teeth smiled slightly, his white teeth shining brightly.
"Hurry up and do the work. Once you're done, go back to southern Xinjiang. I can't stay here any longer."
As he said that, the little boy raised his head and looked at the moonlight, frowning.
"This damn weather is going to kill me!"
After hearing this, the gray-haired old woman took out her handkerchief with a kind face.
"Okay, then let's do things quickly and go home when we're done."
After saying this, the little boy looked at the high wall, smiled, and disappeared on the back of the bald and stubborn donkey in the next second.
The gray-haired old woman raised her head, gritted her old yellow teeth, and tied the stubborn donkey aside.
"Donkey, please wait here properly. I'll come back to the old lady as soon as I go. You must not run around. Do you understand?"
Seeing that the stubborn donkey tilted its head and ignored him at all, the gray-haired old woman sighed helplessly, stamped one foot, and disappeared in an instant.
The stubborn donkey sneezed twice, and his big eyes kept turning, as if full of wisdom.
After a while, the stubborn donkey's two hind hooves clicked non-stop, as if it wanted to imitate its master and disappear.
But after pedaling for a long time, the floor tiles were stepped on several holes, but they still stayed in place without moving.
The old stubborn donkey glared and bared his teeth. He was panting from exhaustion and was even splashed with two basins of foot-washing water by an old lady.
"Who is this? He stayed up in the middle of the night. Why are you bothering me?"
"I'm warning you, if you mess around, I'll go down and chop you up!"
The two donkey ears that were originally erect suddenly softened.
The bald and stubborn donkey tilted his head, looked at the top of his head with his big eyes full of wisdom, snapped his neck, and the reins fell to the ground.
The four donkey hooves moved forward cautiously and silently to the woman's door.
"Wow~" a sound of running water sounded.
After a while, the bald and stubborn donkey squinted his eyes and snorted. He returned to the stake with satisfaction and shook his bald head.
…
The backyard of Xiao Mansion.
Inside the splendid side hall.
Lin Xi walked out of the pool shirtless and lazily.
Drops of water slid down the fingertips and fell to the ground, causing countless splashes.
Two little maids came forward slowly, one held Lin Xi's arm, and the other put a coat on her.
The little maid's cheeks were red, she pursed her lips and lowered her head, with a very shy look on her face.
Lin Xi raised her hand and pinched the little maid's fair and tender face, and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Why is your face so red? Are you cold or are you feeling sick?"
After hearing this, the little maid was so embarrassed that she didn't even dare to raise her head. She bit her lips in grievance and remained silent.
Lin Xi chuckled, lifted up her sleeves and walked out of the hall.
In the pool, Du Min stared at Lin Xi's back with big watery eyes, sighed slightly, turned his head, and gently helped Lu Ling, who looked tired, although she was not much better.
Lu Ling lowered her head shyly, and the fragrant sweat fell into the water along her smooth skin, causing ripples.
"Thanks……"
Du Min almost didn't hear this mosquito-like voice of thanks.
Looking at the little girl who was staggering when she walked, Du Min said softly: "It's okay, you will get used to it in the future."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Ling's delicate body trembled and she almost fell into the pool.
…
At the same time, as soon as Lin Xi walked out of the hall, Xiao Linbao appeared.
"Your Highness, two mice sneaked in."
Lin Xi was slightly startled after hearing this.
"Huh? We have just arrived at the border of Zhongzhou, can they wait impatiently?"
Xiao Linbao raised his little head and smiled, nodded innocently and said: "It seems that someone can't wait any longer, and there are more than one wave of people coming."
"Oh, is there anyone else?"
Xiao Linbao was about to speak, but suddenly he looked aside, a light flashing in his eyes.
"Back to Your Highness, a total of three groups of people entered Shangjiang City today. They should all be outside the mansion at the moment, or..."
Lin Xi looked aside with a smile: "I came at the right time. I am worried about how to get more money tomorrow."
After saying that, Lin Xi walked aside nonchalantly and sat down on the steps.
"Please start your show, little Baobao."
Xiao Linbao frowned after hearing this, as if he didn't like this nickname very much, so he didn't use it and didn't say much.
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the courtyard, and dust flew everywhere.
The golden leaves floating all over the sky are really beautiful.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xi became slightly interested. She picked up a plate of grapes and started eating them.
Xiao Linbao turned around with the silver gun in hand, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
"Besides exposing one's position, what is the use of all these fancy gadgets?"
As soon as these words came out, a burst of laughter like silver bells came.
"Haha, little Baopao, after so many years, you are still so emotionless. I am really disappointed."
With laughter, a little girl with white skin and a floral skirt fell from the sky.
The little girl looked to be only eleven or twelve years old. She had a braided hair and two butterfly hairpins. Her eyes were as big as cataracts, but there were no pupils.
A pair of petite straw sandals stepped on the fallen leaves in the air, walking towards the ground step by step.
Xiao Linbao looked at the little girl who was about the same height as him, and his face darkened instantly.
"I spared your life last time, but you still don't know how to be grateful and dare to come again?"
The little girl snorted coldly after hearing this and ignored it. She turned her head and looked at Lin Xi with her little mouth pouted.
"Master Lin, Mr. Tie is not here this time, and there is only Xiao Linbao. Do you think he can still stop the slave family?"
Lin Xi spat out the grape skins in her mouth and raised her head with a smile.
"You little girl, how can you pretend to be mature when you have nothing to do?"
"Return to my slave family, whose slave family are you? Xiao Linbao's slave family?"
After hearing this, the little girl stared angrily, gritted her teeth and growled: "Master Lin, your mouth is so tough!"
As he said that, the little girl suddenly sneered and raised her head with a mocking look on her face.
"But don't worry, I hope your bad mouth can be so tough after a while! Haha."
Lin Xi laughed and spat out the grape seeds with a nonchalant expression.
"Bah, don't worry, stinky girl, I will never agree to your marriage with Xiao Linbao, so just give up!"
(Brothers, give me some power for love!)
