After discussing it, the four of them took rooms upstairs in the bar. On the night of Chen Xing's first round, he stood by the window with the curtain half-closed, drinking fruit wine and admiring the moonlight, his eyes scanning the parking lot outside from time to time.
The moonlight was fine and bright, covering the whole world with a layer of silver sand. The breeze blows, refreshing and refreshing. The night in the run-down town also has its own unique charm.
The two little boys who called themselves the Lifu brothers leaned against the car and cuddled up to each other. The younger one was asleep, and the older one was awake, looking around every once in a while. Chen Xing was thinking about whether he should give them a tip of one gold coin tomorrow as a reward for their dedication to their duties.
“Tuk tuk tuk”
While he was thinking, there was a light knock on the door from outside. Chen Xing turned around and said, "Come in."
The door opened and A Qiaomu came in. Chen Xing subconsciously glanced at the wall clock hanging on the wall. It was now 11 o'clock in the evening, and it was not yet time to change shifts, so he showed a confused expression.
"Can you talk for a while?" Ah Qiaomu asked in a low voice, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xing asked.
"I can't sleep and want to find someone to talk to." While speaking, she looked to one side, as if she didn't dare to look directly into Chen Xing's eyes.
"Is Danny free?" Chen Xing asked pointedly. Anyone can see that Danny has a crush on Aqiaomu and cares about her very much. As far as the person to talk to is concerned, it is definitely more suitable than him.
"He is a good man," A Qiaomu lowered his head and said quietly, "I don't want him to know too much."
"Okay." Chen Xing nodded, walked to the small table, picked up the wine bottle, poured her a glass of fruit wine, and handed it over.
A Qiaomu took the cup and drank it in one gulp. Then he picked up the wine bottle and drank a large gulp. He held it in his hand and slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, looking out the window with a dull look in his eyes.
"I was born in a small tribe in the south of Da Fangzhou," she said after a long silence. "There are only a few hundred people in the tribe. My father is the chief of the tribe. He was seriously injured during a hunting and became disabled. He drinks alcohol every day."
"No one has cared about me since I was a child. My mother only liked my younger brother, and my father would beat me up when he was drunk. At home, I was like a superfluous person. But I have always worked hard. When I was seventeen, my spiritual power Naturally awakened, with all three basic abilities reaching quasi-elite standards, I ran to Bam City to join the army and wanted to leave that damn home."
"In the beginning, everything went smoothly. My abilities were appreciated by my superiors, and in less than two years, I became a lieutenant and managed an entire reconnaissance team."
"until"
Deep fear filled her eyes, and she clenched her hands as if she saw something terrible.
"The pervert appears"
"I was attracted by our teacher. To be precise, he was attracted by him when I first came here. For two years, he has been asking the chef to add drugs to my food, which made my body... "Made." She gritted her teeth and tugged at the corners of her clothes hard, as if she couldn't find the right words to describe her experience.
"My spiritual energy gradually left me, my senses became dull, but my body..."
"I have always been careful, but he still caught me. I just wanted to get more money to pay for my brother's tuition. The consumption in Bam City is too high."
"He sent someone to take me to the interrogation room. I was only nineteen years old at the time, and I didn't understand many things. He also used my brother who was studying in Bam City to threaten me and coerce me. In the end, under his coaxing , I admitted to the recorder a non-existent crime and voluntarily signed a confession."
"In this way, I became a traitor despised by everyone. With this confession, he could deal with me openly. From then on, I lived a life of darkness. He locked me in the dungeon, every day. "
"For eight years, I can no longer remember what happened during that period. I even forgot who I was. The only memory was pain."
As she spoke, she took a swig of wine.
"Until the end, I escaped," she murmured.
"Yes, you escaped and are free." Chen Xing comforted. The story of this woman could almost be written, and it is not inferior to the story of the two sisters Lianyu Ruolan.
"Thank you for listening." Aqiaomu said, looking at the wall clock again, "The time has come, it's my turn."
"Okay." Chen Xing nodded and put down the cup, "Then I'll go back and rest first."
For Arqiaomu, he has more of a bystander mentality. He can't protect himself now and has no time to lament about other people's affairs. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Aqiaomu came to him to talk to him. What she needs is not sympathy and comfort, but someone to talk to and vent her inner emotions, that's all.
What happened to Aqiaomu is actually not uncommon. In his previous life, Chen Xing knew several of them. In this cruel world, if a slightly pretty woman does not have enough strength, she will most likely become the plaything of the rich or those in power.
In such a social environment, some women swear never to be dependent on men. They are usually female mercenaries with the ability to survive independently. They form a sister group and support each other. This group of women is called "Steel Sisters".
For example, the Beiqiao Regiment is a typical sister regiment, and its core members are all female mercenaries who will never marry.
Thinking of Ye Yang Bailiu's yearning for the Beiqiao Group, Chen Xing felt uncomfortable all over. Perhaps it was the shadow in the family in his early years that caused Ye Yang Bailiu to subconsciously yearn for independent women. Although Ye Yang Bailiu said that she would be loyal to him "to the end", in fact, if she joined the Beiqiao Regiment and became a member of the Steel Sisters, it would be meaningless whether she was loyal or not.
But it's okay, if you don't get married, you won't be snatched away by that second prince. Little Suna is better, well-behaved and obedient, like a caring little cotton-padded jacket.
After thinking about it, Chen Xing returned to the room and gradually fell asleep while lying on the bed.
The next morning, he had breakfast, put on his sunglasses, and asked Cassie to go to the back alley with him.
"Back alley" is a general term referring to the second-hand markets in various towns. It is usually located in an alley parallel to the main street, hence the name.
Duck Town is very small, so the back alleys are also very small, with about seven or eight vendors. In front of an old man, Chen Xing squatted down.
"Where are you from?" Chen Xing asked.
"Northern." The old man raised his small glasses and replied. The north means the refugees deep in the wilderness.
Chen Xing turned to look at Cassie, who understood, took off the bag from his shoulders, and threw it on the stall.
A pile of shiny gold and silver things immediately slipped out of the bag, including lighters, accessories, belt buckles, and more than twenty pistols.
"Oh my God, did you rob a pack of wolves?" the old man exclaimed.
"If you want to live longer, it's best not to ask too many questions." Chen Xing said.
"I understand, I understand," the old man said with a smile, showing his yellow teeth, nodding his head.
