Liz's back was the wall of the alley, with no way to retreat.
The girl lowered her head without saying a word and took out her left foot. Unexpectedly, the little girl opposite her immediately followed up by taking out her right foot, blocking Liz's path.
If he changed the direction and took out his right foot again, Vivian, who pushed Lisi into the corner, followed her at the same time, giving Lisi no chance to leave.
It can be seen.
If the two of them don't come out with an explanation today, Vivian will not let her leave.
Liz sighed.
She raised her head and stared straight at the little girl who was no more than two fists away from her. She was also staring at her little girl with a pair of big eyes and a bit of anger.
"So, what do you want? Just block me here and freeze me to death?"
As soon as the eldest lady, who was full of language skills, opened her mouth, Vivian was someone else and was immediately defeated.
The momentum that the little girl had just built up suddenly felt like a deflated ball.
"Ah! Is it cold? Huh...I'm sorry, I'm just going to use fire magic..."
Seeing Vivian who was immediately on the weak side because of her words, Liz sighed again.
"No need to go to such trouble, just let me go back."
As the eldest lady spoke, she was about to push aside the little girl standing in front of her.
How could I have expected that.
This time even Liz was shocked.
"No!" Vivian's voice was raised much higher in vain, and it was a rare, at least Liz had never heard it from a little girl. It was a very unquestionable tone.
Tread...
Footsteps sounded.
Perhaps because she was afraid that Liz would escape, Vivian took the initiative to take a few steps forward, making the already loose distance between the two girls become much more crowded.
It looked like they were almost touching each other, their noses were touching, and there was only a gap between their chests that could not be reached by a punch.
That's...thanks to the fact that the opposite side is flat, otherwise Liz felt that the painting style of the scene at this moment would have to be some kind of indescribable beauty.
"Too close Vivian! You, what on earth do you want to do!"
Liz's voice lost the deliberate coldness at first, and became a little more panicked and different.
She really couldn't understand why the little girl was looking for her now after she had obviously broken up with Vivian in public at the banquet.
And the other side.
"I don't know either, but I just feel...Liz, there's something wrong with you now!"
Vivian is also willing to take risks. The little girl is like the kind of girl who obviously can't answer the question, but still has to be confident and has no choice. Who calls her stupid, especially when it comes to feelings, Vivian is very delicate and sensitive. Not good at expressing.
"I'm not right? The person I don't think is right...is you! Vivian?"
"Can't you understand what I said in the venue? I've actually tolerated you for a long time.
I don’t like you, I even hate you, I..."
Maybe it was out of pride or pretentiousness. After all, this is a common problem among young ladies. Liz subconsciously spoke and said something that went against her true intentions.
In fact, the girl regretted it as soon as she opened her mouth, but sometimes it is like this. Once she makes a mistake, she will be forced to make another mistake every step of the way.
But the good thing is.
Liz taught Vivian a great skill.
"No, I don't accept it!" The little girl directly interrupted the girl opposite, and she looked angry, saying that I didn't want to listen.
"What? You..."
"This is what you taught me, Liz, to dare to say no directly to things you don't like!"
"you..."
Liz, who has always been eloquent, did not expect that she would be choked by a mere Vivian, and she was speechless for a moment.
Strike while the iron is hot.
Vivian took the hand of the girl opposite.
It can be seen that the little girl is quite talented in certain things and is quite capable of learning from others.
"Thank you, Liz!"
"Thank you...thank you for nothing! I just scolded you, idiot!" Feeling the little girl's warmth between her fingers, it was as if the cold night in Huodian City was no longer cold.
"Yes, I... I am just an idiot, that's why I need Miss Liz's help! I need Teacher Liz to scold me more! Only in this way can I know my shortcomings and correct them!"
After being with someone for a long time, the little girl's face has obviously become thicker. Vivian looks like a good student, but in fact, as long as Liz doesn't agree, she won't let go.
"Hmph, since...since it's you who insists on asking for it, then I'll do it..."
"That's great Liz! Let's still be friends! Wow, the way Liz looked before really scared me to death..."
Let me finish my sentence properly!
Once she heard that the general tone was correct, Vivian couldn't wait and interrupted Liz's arrogant speech. She cried with joy and threw herself into the arms of the girl opposite.
Why...
This was the number of times Liz sighed tonight.
Looking at the little girl clinging to her in her arms, Liz stroked Vivian's head like a big sister.
It was originally a very heartwarming scene of sisters resolving their misunderstanding and getting back together.
result...
"Well... Liz, you, you are really big..." The little girl couldn't help but sigh.
Liz: "..."
...
The fundraising contract has been signed, and the misunderstanding has been resolved. It’s time to end tonight and start the return journey.
On the carriage driving to Earl Thistle's estate.
Liz sat angrily, while Vivian acted like a good kid who had made a mistake.
"Hmph, Vivian, I think you've really become more capable recently! You don't take me seriously anymore, right? It was like that just now, and it was the same earlier today. You actually asked me to go to the outer city to pick you up personally. To the dinner party!”
"Ah what? Me? Ask Liz to go to the outer city and pick me up... take me to the dinner? No..." Vivian looked confused.
"Hmph, really."
Liz pretended not to want to talk to you anymore, snorted coldly, and turned her head away.
Actually.
Deliberately not letting Vivian see the expression on her face now.
Because Liz's playful look was long gone, replaced by a deep frown and a frown.
The eldest lady’s fingers grasped the seat cushion of the carriage.
She looked at the dark Huodian City under the night.
"Is that really the case...?"
In a murmur that only you can hear.
"Why did you lie to me..."
"Father..."
...
...
bump!
Click!
The sound of objects being smashed down hard and then being smashed kept coming from a certain room in the Earl's castle.
It's like I finally vented my anger.
The sound of smashing things finally stopped.
The curtains were opened, and the dim moonlight shone into the room, reflecting a... strange face that was half female and half male.
"Why, why can't I find it?"
"Handkerchief, my handkerchief..."
The faces of Cima and Count Thistle are on the same body.
They all showed ferocious looks.
But soon.
The expressions on both faces were stunned at the same time, as if they had thought of something.
Wait a moment...
Could it be that time! ?
Earl Thistle thought that when he was escaping with Sima's body, he happened to be bumped into by the attendant named "White" at the corner of the alley.
Was it at that time that the handkerchief was knocked off?
Or...
Dong dong dong...
A knock on the door interrupted Earl Thistle's thoughts.
"Your Excellency, the eldest lady and Miss Vivian are back." The voice of the new deputy maid, Linna, came from outside the door.
Squeak...
The door to the house soon opened outward.
Earl Thistle reappeared in front of the door with an expression that was befitting of seeing his missing daughter back. He was extremely happy and excited.
"Really? I'll go right away!"
"Oh, right."
Before going downstairs, Earl Thistle said to Linna:
"A mouse entered the room just now and knocked down some utensils. Please go in and help me clean it."
"It's...your lord, Count."
...
...
Outside Huodian City.
refugee camp.
Compared with the bright lights in the city, this place is much bleak. Except for the central office, there are only a few scattered torches in other refugee camps to maintain lighting.
If you look carefully, you will find that these scattered torches are concentrated in one place.
It was the tent where Chris and his group lived.
They originally lived in the outer city with a relatively poor environment, and living on the streets was commonplace when they were down and out. Therefore, the difficult conditions in the refugee camp were nothing to them.
The only thing worth mentioning may be that Chris's gang has grown a lot.
Among the gangster guards patrolling, it is not difficult to see several professional thieves with the title of "peripheral member of the treasure thief group" on their heads.
It is precisely because of the addition of player power that Chris feels much more relaxed and can be distracted to do more things.
Inside the gang's big tent.
Chris sat on a chair with his legs crossed. Below him were a group of young boys.
They were all dirty and their clothes were in tatters. They were now wolfing down the mushy food placed in front of them one by one.
"Slow down, slow down, don't be in a hurry, you might choke to death!" Chris couldn't stand it anymore, got down from the chair, and slapped several little kids on the head.
Liao Zixuan had just finished his instructions in the morning, and by night, Chris had almost taken in as many orphans as he could bear among the refugees.
But in fact, Chris knows that this is only a drop in the bucket, and the real big deal still depends on...
"Boss! Boss, there is news in the city!"
There was a shout, followed closely by a panting Xiao Qi who ran into the tent and arrived in front of Chris.
"Tell me, what's going on with this fundraising thing?"
"Something happened... something happened, boss. Sister Vivian didn't seem to have any proof, so she was stopped by the dog guard."
"What!" Chris was very anxious after hearing this. It seemed that the copycat was about to enter the city.
Seeing this, Xiao Qi hurriedly stopped him.
"I'm not done yet, boss."
"Fortunately, there was a female noble who seemed to know the eldest sister, so she led her in."
After Xiaoqi said these words, Chris sat back on the chair with a sigh of relief, but before his butt was even hot from sitting, he stood up again. This time, he was even more angry and wanted to kill someone directly. Enter the city.
because...
"But who would have expected that the female noble turned out to be a scheming bitch. She deliberately approached the eldest sister and wanted to trick Vivian into drugging her wine!"
"Tired of fucking living!"
"Hey! Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, boss, that stinky woman didn't succeed. At the critical moment, fortunately, the eldest sister's friend, the earl's daughter, came to the rescue!"
"Huh..." Chris breathed a sigh of relief.
"But what if..."
This time, before Xiao Qi could finish her words, she was violently punched by Chris.
"But, you have to give up, right? I let you give up, let you give up!" Chris chased Xiao Qi and beat him randomly.
"You leave this for the storyteller, right? Tell me the result quickly, I just want the result!"
"Ouch! Don't hit the boss, I said, sign it! Sister, she successfully obtained the money from the nobles. It is said that she also signed a gambling contract. Once we win the bet, there will be great benefits. This Helping the refugees is a blessing! Our eldest sister is really awesome!"
Feeling really relieved this time, Chris sat firmly on the chair.
At this time, a little boy, Keith during the day, showed a confused expression to Chris.
"I...I don't understand very well, boss..."
"It means that you brats finally don't have to eat pig food with us all day long!"
"Really, really!?"
"Then I can still lie to you?" Chris glared.
"Thank you...thank you, boss!"
"Don't thank me, brat. I don't have such ability. If you want to thank me, you have to thank the sister you met during the day, your eldest sister Vivian!"
"Thank you, thank you Sister Vivian!"
Not only Giese, but also many other orphans and children in the tent listened to the conversation between the two, stopped what they were eating, and thanked each other from the bottom of their hearts.
The same scene also happened in the refugee camp office, in the tent of Solin, the former mayor of Chiyan Town.
"Pass this on and let everyone go to bed early today. Tomorrow we will..."
"go home!"
God knows how excited the old mayor, who was homeless because of the fall into the abyss, was when he said these two words.
...
...
Human joys and sorrows are always incompatible.
Treasure stealing group.
Tora.
Count Dulin angrily opened the door and broke in, arriving at Black Tiger's room.
Upon seeing this, Heihu waved his hand and asked the people in the room to leave.
Then, he poured a glass of wine for Count Dulin, who was about to question him.
"Don't do this to me, Black Tiger. Let me ask you, how do your Tiger Department do things? You can't even guard a yellow-haired girl!?"
"This was an accident, Count Dulin. Anyway, your goal has been achieved. Didn't you sign the gambling contract with that little girl as you wished?"
After Hei Hu's leisurely words, Count Dulin became even more angry.
"If it hadn't been for that bratty Earl of Thistle's trouble, the gambling contract would have been safer! Now, if we lose the bet, do you know how much we will lose, you bastard!"
Count Dulin cursed a bastard, and the black tiger across from him suddenly frowned. The count immediately felt as if he was being targeted by a tiger in the wild, and the huge sense of oppression made him relax.
"Relax, Lord Dulin, it's impossible for you nobles to lose. After all, there's a traitor like Count Thisl, so how can you lose?"
"You...what do you mean?"
"I've always been very good at judging people, especially when I can smell the scent of someone who is the same scum as me."
He handed the filled wine glass to Count Dulin who looked suspicious on the opposite side.
The two sat on either side of the table.
"Lord Du Lin, let me ask you, don't you find it strange that a person who knows that his daughter is safe is still at an important banquet but still doesn't show up and lets his daughter take his place?"
"Hiss... That's right. If a serious person talks about serious business, he will let his daughter do it for him."
"yes."
"When you talk about business, will you let your daughter make decisions for you?"
"I don't even have a daughter, let alone a replacement."
"And you?"
"ha,
