"Breaking Dawn?" The girl looked around and said something else, "I just heard the waiter calling you Dawn, what does it mean?"
"I named it myself..." Li Xiao was about to say that his name meant the break of dawn, which represented safety, but he was afraid that the girl would say he was afraid of death, so he quickly thought about it and gave a poetic explanation, "It means breaking through the darkness and moving towards bright."
The girl was a little touched and a little sad after hearing this: "We are all born in darkness, but where is the light?"
Li Xiao heard her feeling a little depressed, and couldn't help but raise his chest to encourage her: "As long as there is light in your heart, you will definitely be able to move towards the light."
When the girl heard the words, she smiled softly, her eyes beautifully curved into two thin moons, and her tone suddenly became indescribably gentle: "Diaoxia, thank you..."
It was the first time at dawn that I heard a woman calling my name and talking to me in such a tone. I was so excited for a moment that everything around me became so beautiful, especially after the day's narrow escape, it could be said that I survived a catastrophe. There will be blessings later.
The two of them ate noodles in silence, feeling that silence was better than sound here.
He finished the noodles first at dawn and leaned back comfortably on the chair. He glanced at the girl in front of him from time to time, wishing that this moment would stop. After she finished eating, he reluctantly said: "I know the waiter well, we can sit here for a while longer." meeting."
The girl took out a snow-white handkerchief and wiped her mouth, her eyes returned to their original calmness: "You can rest here, I have other things to do."
"Ah?" Li Xiao looked disappointed. He wanted to ask her something, but felt presumptuous because she was far from familiar with her. She didn't want to say it, so she shouldn't ask.
The girl seemed to see what Li Xiao was thinking. She hesitated to speak, then stood up, waved goodbye to him, left the restaurant, and walked towards the east.
Seeing the girl disappearing at the entrance of the lobby, Li Xiao felt a sense of loss in her heart again. She felt that she should chase her out, but felt it was inappropriate. Then she thought about it, he didn't even know her name, and didn't know where she lived, so how could she pay back the money? she?
Finding a suitable reason, I immediately picked up my robe and ran out at dawn. It was already dark, and the shops on both sides of the street had put up lanterns. People were coming and going, and it was full of human fireworks.
At dawn, I looked eastward. Among the crowds of people, I vaguely caught sight of a petite figure. I hurriedly quickened my pace. I passed Lan Kwai Fong along the way. The brothel was good at night, so there was no need for my sister to lean on the railing on the second floor to solicit customers, which saved her a lot of chatter.
Unexpectedly, when he passed the door on the first floor, a sister just came out to see the guests off. She turned around and stopped him: "Diaoxia, I haven't seen you for a few days. I thought something happened to you. Let me take a good look at you. Is there any missing piece of meat?"
At dawn, I was teased by my sister in the street. I couldn't be anxious or angry, so I had to smile with her: "Sister Hua, I have something to do today, so I will play with you someday..."
Sister Hua pinched his waist and then let him go: "Okay, sister, I'll wait for you..."
At dawn, I wiped the sweat from my forehead and turned around. In the moment of interruption, the girl's back had disappeared into the crowd.
He hurriedly ran, his eyes wandering around the shops on both sides, fearing that he would miss her. Unexpectedly, he looked all the way past the gambling shop, but still didn't see her, and he was a little anxious for a moment.
Just at this moment, he heard a commotion coming from the door of the arena next door, and there was a faint familiar crisp voice. He felt happy and quickly walked towards the ticket counter where a crowd of people were surrounding him.
At dawn, through the cracks in the crowd, I saw a girl, arguing with a Baoding about something, waving her hands, looking very excited.
He wanted to step forward to help, but he was not her, and it was inconvenient for him to come forward, so he just stayed in the crowd and waited to see what was going on.
Li Xiao soon understood. It turned out that the girl wanted to buy a ticket to watch tonight's battle of demons. Because it was a monthly competition, the cheapest ticket cost three copper coins, but it was already sold out.
Now there are only empty seats in the seating area, and don't even think about the VIP seats, which are exclusive seats for the rich and powerful.
The main ones that were vacant were the bench seats. Probably because of the poisonous snow storm, many rich people in the ghost market were killed and injured, so the seats were not full. But even so, the bench seats had a minimum of fifteen copper coins.
The girl discussed with Paulding whether he could sell her a standing ticket. Anyway, the crowds were crowded, so there was always room, and there were old rules to follow.
Unexpectedly, Baoding refused to sell, so a dispute broke out.
Li Xiao suddenly remembered that the voice he heard the last time he watched the first beating should be hers. He never expected that a kind-hearted girl would actually like to watch this bloody beating.
The first round with up to ten players is an afternoon show, while the moon show with only three players is a night show.
At dawn, I saw that the girl was still excited and looked like she had to see her. I thought she must have a reason to see her, but it was a pity that a penny could stump the hero. If it weren't for her, she would definitely have enough money to buy one. Take a ticket.
The crowd of onlookers also spoke for the girl. Baoding explained that if the seat tickets were sold out, the standing tickets could be sold. This was the rule of the ghost club. How could he, a little Baoding, dare to break the rules?
After hearing this, the girl stopped arguing and stood blankly in front of the counter. Her helpless look made Li Xiaoyou feel protective.
Li Xiao knew that he had to help her, that he had the responsibility to help her, and that he had the means to help her. He quietly turned around and ran towards the Ximen Water Shop. He turned back within a moment, panting heavily, and found her wandering at the entrance of the arena. .
The girl was obviously waiting for the tickets to be sold out, but there were only a few buyers, so there was little hope.
"Hey, let me invite you to watch the beating." Li Xiao raised a small bag in his hand, and there was a crisp sound of copper plates colliding inside, at least dozens of coins.
"Breaking Dawn!" The girl looked at him in surprise and joy, then her eyes showed suspicion, "Where did you get so much money?"
Yes, before dawn, I didn’t even have money to see a doctor, so I was extremely poor.
"I borrowed it from a friend. I have a lot of friends in the ghost market." Li Xiao shrugged, looking very relaxed.
It's true that I borrowed it from Breaking Dawn, but I didn't borrow it from a friend. My only friend Tie Zhu was not on duty right now, and I had no intention of borrowing it again. It was only a few days ago.
However, Li Xiao seems to have another friend now. For this friend who saved his life twice, he is willing to do everything he can to help her.
Li Xiao borrowed it from the fat shopkeeper of the water shop at interest. He originally only wanted to borrow ten cents, but the fat shopkeeper said that the rule is that the minimum loan is fifty cents and the daily interest is 13%. This depends on what Li Xiao is. The face of an acquaintance.
If you go to a bank to borrow money, the daily interest rate will be at least 15%. Li Xiao knew this rule and didn't waste time. He borrowed fifty coins without hesitation. At most, he would be able to pay it back very quickly if he kept scavenging for a few days.
The girl also saw that things were not as easy as Li Xiao said, but she did have a reason to watch the moon fight, so she didn't bother to ask in detail, and took ten coins from Li Xiao's small bag: "I'll lend it to you. "
Seeing that the girl bought the ticket as she wished, Li Xiao also bought one. They were all green tickets, with the seat numbers next to each other, and it was only fifteen cents. You can watch the game with her, it's worth it!
The girl glanced at Li Xiao, as if she was reluctant for him to follow her, but Li Xiao had done her such a big favor, so it was hard to say anything.
Onlookers in the seating area do not go through the arched main entrance, but through the exclusive side door.
The two entered the arena with torches lit all around. They walked from the wall-mounted aisle through the bustling standing area, passed the guardrail, and came to the bench. They found a seat in the middle and back, and sat down with the girl at dawn, feeling happy in their hearts. , was about to speak.
As if she were a roundworm in his belly, the girl spoke first: "Don't talk too much, watch the fight quietly!"
