Lin Sheng took a deep breath, and the cold morning air flowed into his lungs. For a moment, he felt much more awake.
"Just now … Was I dreaming?" He could clearly recall that he saw two white shadows just now.
The fear he felt when he saw the white shadows was still fresh in his memory.
"Why couldn't I enter Blackfeather City?"
Lin Sheng sat up from the bed, frowning.
"Could it be that ritual?"
He got out of bed and touched his neck. It was sweaty, and his body stank.
Walking out of the bedroom, Wang Yue was on the phone in the living room. Her face was pale, and she seemed to be saying something.
Lin Sheng first went to the bathroom, washed his face, and brushed his teeth. After that, he changed into his school uniform and carried his schoolbag.
When he entered the living room, Wang Yue had already finished the call and was sitting on the sofa with a dejected look. She saw that Lin Sheng had gotten up.
She smiled at him reluctantly.
"Chenchen, I've made breakfast. It's on the kitchen stove. Steam it and you can eat it."
She had been lodging here for the past few days. In order to thank Lin Sheng's family a little, she consciously washed the dishes, cooked, and washed the clothes every day.
Lin Sheng was also dissatisfied at first, but later changed his opinion of her.
"It's okay. I'm running out of time. Let's go to school first." He looked at Wang Yue carefully. He saw that her eyes were sunken, and she looked haggard.
"Sister Yue, if there's anything, it's more important to communicate with your family and think of a solution together."
"I know … It's because of my family … my family …" Wang Yue lowered her head and did not say anything, but her tears were dripping on her dress.
Lin Sheng guessed that there might be something wrong with her family.
It was useless to say anything at this time.
These days, he had also learned a little about Wang Yue's situation from their interactions.
Her parents liked to play cards, and they often went to card houses and casinos. If there was any spare money at home, they would throw it into the bottomless pit of gambling.
So since junior high school, Wang Yue had begun to rely on herself to work to earn money for school and food. It was a hard life.
This kind of life continued until now. Because she was in urgent need of money, she asked for help everywhere, but she couldn't find anyone to borrow money from. In desperation, she found a loan company.
At first, the loan company had signed a good contract. The monthly interest was 2%. Although it was high, it was not outrageous. She just wanted to hang on for two months.
But later, when it was time to pay back the money, she went to the loan company and saw that the contract was completely different from the one she had received before.
The monthly interest had increased by many times.
She begged bitterly and returned all the money she had on her, including the money in her passbook, but it was still far from enough.
The other party even went to the school and forced her to be unable to attend classes.
In desperation, Wang Yue did not even dare to go to school until she wandered the streets and was met by Lin Sheng's mother, Gu Wanqiu.
"It will be fine." Lin Sheng comforted her.
There was nothing he could do about it. What's more, the other party was considered gentle. Look at the other school loans. Which one of them didn't borrow a few thousand and have to pay back tens of thousands?
A loan company like this that could only increase its loan by a few times every two months was already very kind.
After comforting Wang Yue for a while, Lin Sheng went out of the house and went down the stairs.
When he walked out of the staircase, he saw two men standing by the flower bed not far away, smoking.
The two men were wearing gray leather jackets and had crew cut hair. One was fat and the other was thin. Their eyes were looking around.
At first glance, they did not look like decent people.
Lin Sheng frowned.
He did not like to cause trouble, at least not when he did not have enough ability to protect his family.
But this did not mean that he liked to have such potential threats wandering around in front of his house.
He was a little worried that it was Wang Yue who provoked the loan company. These half-black and half-gray guys were not law-abiding people.
After thinking about it, Lin Sheng carried his schoolbag and walked straight toward the two men.
The two men were a little stunned when they saw Lin Sheng coming over from afar. One of them judged that Lin Sheng was indeed looking for them, so he simply threw away the cigarette in his hand and straightened up.
Lin Sheng walked to a place two meters away from the two men and stopped.
He tightened his schoolbag and frowned.
"What are you two doing? You don't look like good people! "
The two men were stunned and did not respond for a moment. They looked at Lin Sheng and did not speak.
They did not speak, but Lin Sheng spoke again.
"If I come back after school and see you here. Don't blame me for being rude! "
The two men looked at Lin Sheng's school uniform and looked at the schoolbag behind him. Their expressions were strange, and the corners of their mouths could not help but twitch.
"Oh? Little brat, you sure talk big. "
The fat man laughed and stamped out the cigarette butt on the ground with his foot.
"What are you talking about? Beat him up!" The thin man on the side reached out and grabbed Lin Sheng's hair.
This was the effect that Lin Sheng wanted.
He tilted his head and avoided the man's grab.
Then he rushed forward and hit the thin man's chin with an uppercut.
"Ah!"
The thin man screamed, covered his mouth, and took a few steps back. He squatted down and his mouth began to bleed. Obviously, his tongue was bitten.
Fatso, who was on the side, was stunned for a moment before he roared and rushed over. Then he was tripped by Lin Sheng and fell to the ground with a thud.
Before he could get up, he was kicked in the stomach again, causing him to scream and roll on the ground in pain.
Lin Sheng looked at the two men on the ground calmly.
After experiencing a lot of fighting in the dream and dying so many times, he had absorbed a large number of incomplete memories. He was no longer the simple ancient language researcher.
Now, he was an ordinary elementary school student, no, a middle school student. In fact, he was a middle school student with excellent swordsmanship and rich combat experience.
Holding his schoolbag tightly, Lin Sheng went forward and gave one more kick.
"Don't let me see the two of you again, or else …" Lin Sheng thought for a moment but could not think of a better threat.
At this time, some people around were attracted by the situation here.
He decisively went forward and gave the two men another beating. The two men were crying for their parents. Their bodies were covered in bruises, their noses were bleeding, and their teeth were broken on the ground.
Blackfeather City's unarmed boxing, plus the combat experience and skills he had absorbed, plus the effect of the Ashen Seal Shelter.
It was a piece of cake to deal with these two boys.
After the beating, Lin Sheng felt much better after last night's fright.
"Stop it!" The fat man begged loudly. "We're just collecting property fees! What the hell is going on?! "
Lin Sheng was stunned.
Property fees? Judging from what Fatso said, it did not seem like he was lying …
"Did I really hit the wrong person?"
He looked around and felt a little guilty. He turned and ran.
On the bus, Lin Sheng was still thinking about the two men.
Thinking about it, it seemed like he did not like them from the beginning, so he went up to them to pick a fight, and then they got angry, and then they started fighting.
In the end, he was not sure if they were from a loan company.
"First impressions are the strongest." Lin Sheng shook his head.
"But it's also because they look like bad guys." He sat on the seat and defended himself, feeling a little better.
