The young man himself was scared out of his wits.
In the darkness, he only cared about running forward and didn't notice anything at all.
Now that he bumped into someone, he hurriedly said, "I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't see you."
Under the moonlight, he looked down at the girl sitting on the ground, holding the cloth bag.
"So it's a girl!" He squatted down and saw that the girl's face was covered with a piece of cloth. He asked, "Miss, are you okay? I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't see you in the middle of the night."
The girl didn't listen to him at all. She continued to hold the cloth bag in her hand, gently brushing the sand off it.
The young man was curious.
Could it be that he had become invisible?
Or was the lady in front of him deaf?
Just as he was about to speak again, footsteps came from behind him, getting closer and closer.
"Over there, hurry up."
Oh no, those people were catching up!
The young man felt that something was wrong. He patted the girl's shoulder and said, "I can't care about you. I can't even take care of myself."
With that, he got up and prepared to run.
But after a few steps, he looked back and saw that the girl he had knocked down was trying to get up from the ground, but her ankle was injured. She couldn't get up for a long time.
He couldn't even protect himself in this situation!
If he stopped and was caught, that person called Master Hu would really skin him and eat his flesh.
He was very conflicted!
But the girl was indeed injured because of him!
Finally, he gritted his teeth and rushed over to pull the girl up from the ground.
He directly carried her on his back.
"Follow me!"
What the hell?
The girl didn't even have time to react. She didn't know where she was being carried by a man?
But when she looked back and saw someone chasing her, she roughly understood!
So someone was chasing her!
The girl thought about it and didn't shout. She let the strange man carry her and run wildly.
In the end, they hid in a small alley.
Only then did they avoid being caught by that group of people!
The young man put the girl down, panting.
His face was red.
He looked at the skinny girl in front of him and said, "I didn't expect you to be so heavy even though you look so thin."
He continued to pant.
The girl didn't reply.
"I say, why are you on the street in the middle of the night?"
"…"
"I'm asking you."
The woman still ignored him and quickly took out the things in the cloth bag.
It turned out to be a painting!
Fortunately, it was intact!
The young man placed his hands on his hips and carefully sized up the person in front of him. He continued to ask, "Oh yes! Are you a human or a ghost? "
"…"
Ghost?
"I'm talking to you!"
The woman put the painting back into the cloth bag and glared at the person in front of her.
He planned to leave.
But his ankle was badly sprained.
She had only taken two steps when she felt so much pain that she had to lean against the wall.
He couldn't move at all.
Seeing this, the young man hurriedly pulled her back and said, "Where are you going? Those people saw you with me just now. If you go out and get caught, don't blame me."
The woman was speechless. With a wave of her sleeve, she flung the young man's hand away from her wrist.
But he almost fell.
The young man supported her again and grabbed her arm tightly. "Are you really a mute? Or deaf? "
…
The woman was really speechless. It was fine that she was bumped into for no reason. It was fine that her painting was stepped on. It was fine that she was carried everywhere. But now, he actually said that she was mute and deaf.
She was about to speak —
The young man's words stopped her again. He said, "It's okay. In this day and age, mutes live a long life."
Damn!
This time, the woman didn't want to speak at all.
Perhaps he was right!
Mutes did live a long life. The young man asked curiously, "Oh yes, you're a woman strolling on the street in the middle of the night. Aren't you afraid of seeing ghosts? Let me tell you, there are a lot of strange things happening in Zhu Xincheng at night. If you're not careful, you'll run into some strange things. You won't even know how you died! Also, it's impossible for you to find a place to stay at night. I also bumped into you just now. Your foot is also injured. I got something good today and am in a very good mood. So, tonight, I'll take you in.
I'll take you in. You can leave tomorrow morning. "
"… Huh?"
Without waiting for the woman to refuse, he pulled her on his back again.
He carried her on his back.
The woman thought for a moment. This person really wasn't a bad person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have carried her on his back when she couldn't get up from the ground.
Since there was no danger, there was no harm in following him.
It just so happened that she needed a place to stay tonight.
Soon, the young man brought her to the place where he usually stayed.
A simple and crude courtyard that couldn't be any more crude.
As soon as he pushed open the door and entered, Little Eight, who had been guarding inside, rushed over.
"Brother, you're finally back. You scared me to death, did you know? I waited for you for so long. I almost took a wooden stick to save you. "
There was a hint of sobbing in his tone.
He couldn't wait to burrow into the young man's arms.
But when he saw that the young man was carrying someone on his back, he was stunned.
He pointed and asked, "Brother, what's going on?"
The young man smiled and said, "Don't ask too much."
After saying that, he put down the woman on his back and pointed to the house inside. "You can stay here tonight."
The woman nodded lightly.
He limped into the room.
The young man crossed his arms and looked at the woman's back.
Little Eight's head was full of confusion.
He stared at the woman's back for a while until the door of the house was closed. Then, he moved closer to the young man's ear and asked, "Brother, why did you pick up a person? And it's a setback. "
"You want to know?"
"Yes, yes." Little Eight nodded vigorously.
His eyes were full of confusion.
The young man patted his head and said, "Go to sleep. Don't ask too much."
"But …"
"But what?"
"You gave the house to that person. Where are we going to sleep tonight?"
"We can sleep anywhere. Go find two wooden planks."
Little Eight scratched his head and hurried to get the wooden planks.
They were set up under the trellis in the courtyard.
Little Eight seemed to have another question. He rolled his eyes and asked, "Brother, why did that person cover his face with a cloth?"
The young man revealed a very knowledgeable look and stared at the house inside. He said very firmly, "Because he was born ugly!"
"Brother, did you see?"
"No!"
"Then why do you know?"
"Because I know!"
"Why?"
Hehe!
"Are you stupid?"
"Brother, he covered his face with a cloth. How did you know?"
Could it be that you have X-ray vision?
The young man said, "Have you ever seen a beauty enter the city alone in the middle of the night? Only ugly people are not afraid of the dark or ghosts. "
Little Eight suddenly understood!
"So that's how it is!"
