Seeing the young lady busy and sweating, Li Sushang felt a little sorry and said quickly: "Maybe it was lost on the way. Sorry to bother you, I will go back and look for it." "It's okay, we..." The young lady wanted to persuade her, but Li Suchang had already left the hotel. Although Li Suchang was not a careful person, she did not carry much stuff on her and would not lose it easily. The only possibility was that when she was eating the candied haws and knocked over the boy, she accidentally dropped it on the ground and forgot to pick it up. With a clue in mind, Li Suchang immediately rushed back to the alley where she bumped into the boy, but there was nothing there. "What bad luck! I shouldn't have bought the candied haws." Li Suchang stamped her feet in anxiety and could only recall everything that happened in detail. "Maybe I can ask the boy. Maybe he saw it." Li Suchang had no choice but to do so. Fortunately, the handkerchief she used to bandage the boy was her own personal item and retained her scent. With Li Suchang's strength, it is not difficult to find the place by following his own breath. After confirming that her sword was still there and that nothing else was lost, she immediately followed the boy's footsteps. The range of the breath was not far, and she found the boy after crossing a few streets. At this time, the boy was walking in a dark alley, holding a small card in his hand. Li Suchang, who was about to catch up and ask, vaguely heard the boy talking to himself before she turned the corner.
"I stole that girl's ID and bank card. She must be very worried now. But there's nothing I can do. After all, she looks like she's easy to deceive." Li Sushang was so angry when she heard this. She was the first chivalrous person to do good deeds after 500 years, but she met a liar. She was so lucky that she was bandaging the wound. This reminded her of herself when she just entered the martial arts world. She was also swindled out of her money in less than half a day. "How despicable! Such petty thieves exist in every era." Li Suchang, who was furious, decided to teach this kid a lesson on the spot and let him know that it is not so easy to cheat a knight's money. However, Li Suchang, who had just turned the corner, hadn't said anything when she saw several burly men appear in the alley. The gray-haired boy who stole her ID card was suddenly punched in the face. "Hey, Su Jue, did you get the protection fee this time?" Su Jue, who was knocked down by a punch, looked behind him intentionally or unintentionally. There was no one at the exit of the alley, only a strand of long chestnut hair that was not hidden was leaning against the wall. "You said you wouldn't hit me as long as I pay you." Su Jue said timidly. "Huh? We did say that, but you haven't paid yet, right?" “But last month I…” "Last month's matter was last month's. Just hand over the money. I know that with your ability, it would be easy to cheat those fat sheep who come to this city for the first time." Li Suchang, who was standing at the corner of the alley, pursed her lips. She became furious when she heard herself being called a fat sheep. "If we had your ability, we would have lived a good life a long time ago. There would be no need for us to be gangsters." After this person finished speaking, another person immediately responded, "Brother, this guy must have a problem with his brain. It's so easy to make money, but he has to hide it. He would rather starve than cheat people. If we hadn't caught him before, he would probably still be hiding in a garbage dump now." …Is that so? Li Suchang suddenly calmed down from her anger at being cheated. She had a strong sense of perception and had not sensed any malice from the boy in her previous encounters with him, so she had never thought that the other party had planned to bump into her. "But a liar is a liar. No matter how innocent you pretend to be, you are still a liar. You don't think you are a good person. I have seen many people like you. Although we are outsiders and have not personally witnessed the fire that burned down the entire city, such a large city was destroyed, and many people must have died." Someone responded, "Needless to say, this kid's family probably died in the fire a long time ago, and their ashes were burned to ashes." "Asshole." Hearing the thug's words, the young man on the ground struggled hard and angrily hit the thug's face with his head. He immediately burst into tears and his nose was full of blood. He wanted to fight back, but the thugs reacted and grabbed him by the neck and threw him heavily against the wall.
"You little brat, I know you must have come from a wealthy family before, otherwise you wouldn't have died rather than helped us cheat people, but now you have no choice. Even though you didn't take a penny, you are still our accomplice. You know what? You are nothing but a criminal and a liar. No matter what you think in your heart, no matter what you have done in the past, the victims you have deceived will never forgive you. Want to be a little white flower? Don’t you see where you are? No matter how developed this city is, there are always places where the light doesn’t reach, and you are nothing but a rotten and smelly thing in the mud.” With a bang, the gangster grabbed Su Jue's neck and pressed him against the wall. Blood flowed down the back of Su Jue's head and soaked the boy's clothes. It was not until this moment that the gangster discovered the handkerchief wrapped around Su Jue's wrist, as if he had discovered something funny. "Oh, it seems that the person you cheated this time is a little girl. She is still using a handkerchief in this day and age. I'm afraid she is as stupid as you." Su Jue was knocked unconscious and his vision was blurred. He could only grit his teeth and remain silent. At the same time, he tightly grasped the ID card in his hand, not wanting the gangsters to find him. Unfortunately, he was unable to conceal the truth. The gangsters forcibly pried open Su Jue's fingers one by one and took out the certificate from his hand. "Oh? No wonder you look so reluctant. I didn't expect she's such a pretty girl." The gangster showed a lewd smile on his face when he saw the photo of Li Suchang on the ID card. He deliberately approached Su Jue and put the ID card in his sight. "Since you don't want to be a bad guy, then I'll help you be one. Guess what we're going to do to this desperate little girl?" Seeing the anger and fear in the boy's eyes, the gangster grinned and said, "Yes, that's the look. Anger, remorse, pain. How wonderful. You must remember that no matter what happened to this girl, it was all caused by you. You stole her ID yourself, and you ruined her!" The gangster wanted to continue speaking, but Su Jue, who should have been completely powerless, suddenly jumped up and bit the gangster's finger, biting off Li Suchang's ID card and the gangster's finger together. With blood all over his mouth, he took advantage of the time when other thugs were still not able to react and desperately fled out of the alley with his ID card. "Damn it, beat him to death!" The furious thugs immediately chased after him. Their size and physical strength were much better than Su Jue, and the distance between them was quickly shortened. Everyone knows what will happen to Su Jue once he is caught. The light of the street lamp at the exit was bright and white, but Su Jue, who had lost blood, was seriously injured. Just as he was about to escape from the alley, he was hit hard from the back by a steel pipe and fell to the ground. The light of hope was just around the corner. The boy stretched out his arms, but only his fingertips touched the glow of the street lamp. The gangsters immediately caught up with them. Su Jue got so angry that he had to bite Li Suchang's ID card into pieces to prevent the gangsters from getting it. After doing all this, the boy collapsed on the cold ground, gasping for breath, looking up at the stars in the sky and the terrifying darkness. As he quietly waited for his death and his consciousness fell into darkness, the gorgeous hem of the clothes came into Su Jue's sight. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted in panic, "Run." But Li Suchang, who knew the whole story, could not just sit there and watch. Although she was angry that Su Jue stole her ID card, these gangsters were the real culprits. "To be chivalrous and righteous is what we are." Chapter 344: Spoils of War If it were any modern person, their first reaction when encountering such a thing would definitely be to call the police. However, Li Suchang lived in an era when the legal system was not perfect, and she was deeply influenced by chivalrous novels. Not only did this situation not make her feel uncomfortable, but it perfectly fit the plot in the novels of heroes saving beauties and doing justice. As expected, she easily took care of the thugs, but her attack was measured, and she only left the thugs injured and unconscious.
"Can you still hold on?" She helped the unconscious Su Jue up from the ground and took back the blood-stained ID card. However, the card was severely damaged and could not be used. She did not blame Su Jue for destroying her own documents. In her opinion, destroying the victim's keepsake at the last minute to protect himself was a sign of the boy's conscience. "Cough cough." Su Jue couldn't stop coughing. He didn't check his wound immediately. Instead, he took out Li Suchang's consumption card from his pocket and said, "I'm sorry for stealing your things." "Hey, these are all small matters. You should consider your own problems first." Li Suchang said indifferently. When she first traveled around the world and was defrauded of all her money, she managed to survive by eating wild vegetables and gnawing tree bark. With her current strength, it would be no problem for her to go without food for a few days. Hearing Li Suchang's words, Su Jue seemed to be relieved. He gritted his teeth and took out a roll of bandages from his pocket. This bandage was prepared when he first met Kiana, and he didn't expect it to come in handy again. The wound on the back of his head looked like it was bleeding profusely, but it wasn't that serious. It was just that Su Jue had been hit several times by the thugs, and his whole body was sore and weak. He tried to bandage himself tremblingly, but he missed the right spot several times, and ended up getting blood all over the place. Unable to bear it any longer, Li Suchang simply took the bandage from his hand and quickly wrapped Su Jue around it thickly. She took off her hairpin and fixed the bandage. Under the silvery moonlight, the girl's long light brown hair fell as the ribbon untied, and the soft twin ponytails merged into a turbulent waterfall, making Li Suchang shed her youthfulness and heroism, and look like an intellectual and lovely girl next door. "Done." Looking at her work with satisfaction, Li Suchang clapped her hands and put her hands on her hips. Su Jue, with a bandage on his forehead, looked a little pale, with drooping eyebrows, and his dark red eyes carried indescribable thoughts, as if hiding an indelible sadness. Li Suchang, who was looking Su Jue up and down, suddenly blushed on her cheeks. As a girl who was obsessed with looks, after looking at Su Jue's appearance carefully, she suddenly found that the gray-haired Su Jue had a kind of handsomeness of a young man. It's still pretty. The thought flashed through her mind, but she hid it immediately. She secretly glanced at Su Jue and found that he didn't notice her abnormality, so she pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I won't pursue the matter of you stealing my ID card. I'll send you home first. You won't be able to recover for a while." "I... have no home." Su Jue shook his head slightly, leaned against the wall to adjust his breathing, and let the dizziness in his mind dissipate. Recalling the previous conversations, Li Suchang remembered that Su Jue had indeed been wandering. However, the boy's clothes were clean and his face was pale, but he did not look like a refugee like those in ancient times, and he did not look like a wanderer. "Then you should at least have a place to stay." "Yeah." Su Jue nodded and did not deny it. After resting for a few minutes, Su Jue finally recovered his strength. However, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he came to the unconscious gangsters, rummaged through their pockets, and took out some scattered banknotes. Seeing Su Jue stealing someone's things in front of her, Li Sushang said with some embarrassment: "Isn't it inappropriate to steal other people's property? Even if they are gangsters, it is against chivalry to do so." "No, this should be a trophy." "Spoils of war?" This word appeared in modern times. Li Suchang didn't quite understand it and could only look at Su Jue in confusion. "Since you're talking about chivalry, you should know that both sides of a duel often use some property as a bet before the fight, and the winner can take away the loser's bet. So when they decide to attack you and me, it's like making a bet. For you, the money you have is the bet, for them, the property is the bet, and for me, the bet is my life. If you win, their bets will be yours, and we usually call them spoils of war.” "So that's how it is. I learned a new vocabulary." Li Suchang was lost in thought, and Su Jue quickly finished searching the gangsters' belongings. He put the change together and handed it all to Li Suchang, saying with regret, "Digital currency is too popular in this city now, and the money that can be found is getting less and less." "No need to give it to me, just keep it." Li Suchang opened her mouth to refuse, but Su Jue forced it into her hands. "This is your trophy." Seeing the boy's serious look, Li Suchang couldn't refuse. She didn't have so many complicated thoughts. Su Jue's statement about the spoils of war was indeed reasonable. In martial arts novels, there are often plots where there is no reward, but there are also plots where rewards are collected.
The banknotes in my hand are delicate, like fine fabric, with clear lines and full handwriting. "This is the silver note of this era." Curiously stroking the banknote, Li Sushang remembered Su Jue's words. "Wait, it's getting less and less?" She thought Su Jue was really the kind of person who was desperate, but his body search was obviously extremely skilled. Could it be that she was deceived again? "Occasionally I will resort to some tricks. There are more bastards in this city, and there will always be conflicts. Sometimes I will deliberately cause conflicts between the two sides and profit from them." Looking into the girl's eyes, Su Jue said seriously: "These guys are actually right. I am not a good person. In order to survive, I will also do whatever it takes. It's just that some things can be done, and some things should not be done." "Are you going to arrest me?" Under the moonlight, the two stood facing each other. A large shadow covered Su Jue, and only his dark red eyes were shining. Li Sushang was in a dilemma. Logically speaking, neither Su Jue nor the gangsters were good people, and there was no such thing as favoring one over the other. But emotionally, she was biased towards Su Jue. He was just trying to survive, while those gangsters were doing evil. "Ahhh." He shook his head vigorously to get rid of the tangle in his mind. "I'll let you go this time, but it'd be best if there's no next time. There are so many new things in this era, and there are also many jobs. It shouldn't be difficult to find a job that can support yourself. If it really doesn't work, I'll let the Rakshasa people arrange one for you, anyway." "Stop being a bad person." Li Suchang approached Su Jue and educated him in the tone of an elder. But she is only 150cm tall and as petite as a child, so the scene looks a bit funny. "Ah." "It's getting late now. Since your injuries are almost healed, we should part ways. Let's meet again if we are destined to." After saying goodbye, Li Suchang walked alone on the road, thinking about what happened today. It was only a few days before she woke up, and she not only saw the flying iron carriage, but also this magical city, and encountered such a thing. For Li Sushang, it was an extremely novel experience and an unforgettable day. "I hope he can be a good person." She sighed, clutching the change in her hand. When she returned to the hotel again, the receptionist was still there. Li Suchang held up half of her ID card and asked if she could check in. The answer is of course yes, but when Li Suchang looked at the luxuriously decorated hotel and smelled the faint scent of perfume, what came to her mind was the image of Su Jue hiding alone in the garbage dump. If Li Suchang had only experienced the many entertainments before, she would not think there was anything strange about staying in a hotel, but after seeing Su Jue's experience, she suddenly felt a little averse to such a magnificent hotel. "The heroes in novels are so happy to avenge their enemies that they never stay in a good inn. If they stayed in such a place, how can they talk about martial arts?" In the confused eyes of the front desk lady, Li Suchang took back her ID card, apologized politely, and then broke into the darkness again. "We still have to urge that person to walk on the right path." After finding an excuse for herself, Li Suchang returned along the original route. Chapter 245 Brother The darkness was as thick as a pool of ink that could not be dissolved, and it kept floating up with the sleeping consciousness. After an unknown amount of time, a faint light broke into the endless darkness and shone on the girl's soul. She closed her eyes tightly, and continued to float up under the support of the light. Until a certain moment, the drowning person finally surfaced, and the sunlight returned to the girl's world again. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and the girl slowly opened her eyes under the sunlight. "Kiana, how many times have I told you not to sleep in class?" The girl's vision hadn't yet cleared, but the voice in her ears made her freeze in place. She raised her head sharply and stared at the woman on the podium with wide eyes.
"Himeko-sensei!" "Huh? Why do you look like you haven't seen me for a long time?" Jizi, holding the teaching stick, looked at Kiana with some confusion, wondering if she was too sleepy. The next second, tears flowed down the girl's cheeks, and before Jizi could react, Kiana's body broke into her arms and hugged her tightly. Seeing the girl like this, Ji Zi, who was still angry, sighed, swallowed her criticism, and just gently hugged the girl and stroked her head. "Is it a nightmare?" "Teacher Jizi, I missed you so much."
