Jiang Meixian never dreamed that this would happen. While she was still in a daze, the beggar had already grabbed her purse tightly. Seeing that he was about to snatch it away, she cried out, "Ah … No, this is my purse. I can't give it to you. Just take the money."
The beggar ignored her and tried to snatch her purse back. Jiang Meixian was anxious and scared. She quickly grabbed her purse with both hands and started a tug-of-war with him.
Li Rui saw this and naturally wouldn't stand by and watch. He reached out from the side and grabbed the purse. He snatched it back and stuffed it into Jiang Meixian's hands. "Quickly put it away." Jiang Meixian heaved a sigh of relief and took the purse. As she put it into her purse, she said awkwardly and shamefully, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li. I'll give you …"
Before she could finish speaking, the beggar suddenly let out a strange cry, "Ah ba (four sounds, father's voice) …" It sounded like a deaf-mute person. Then, like a madman, he rushed up to her and reached out with both hands to grab the purse in her hand.
Jiang Meixian was shocked. She screamed and hid behind Li Rui. "Ah … Mr. Li, save me. He … he's going to take my wallet …" she cried.
Li Rui was already furious. This beggar was really shameless and greedy. Jiang Meixian kindly gave him money to buy food, but he didn't take her kindness into consideration. Instead, he wanted to snatch her wallet. Wasn't this the modern version of Mr. Dongguo and the Wolf? Could it be that he saw that Jiang Meixian was a woman and easy to bully, so he made a move on her? F * ck, did he think that he was just a decoration? He definitely wouldn't forgive him for this. Without thinking, he raised his leg and kicked the beggar's chest.
That beggar wasn't just a beggar. He was also a mentally retarded deaf and mute person. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so ignorant of the ways of the world. His eyes were only fixed on the purse in Jiang Meixian's hand. How could he notice Li Rui's movements? His lower abdomen was kicked and he instantly fell backward. He staggered a few steps but couldn't stabilize himself. In the end, he hit the trash can and sat on the ground.
Jiang Meixian fearfully hid behind Li Rui. She hugged his right arm and stuck close to him. Her beautiful eyes carefully looked at the beggar on the ground. She was obviously frightened.
Li Rui patted her small hand and said casually, "Don't worry, I'm here!"
As soon as he said this, the beggar got up and rushed at him. He raised his arms and punched him in the face. How could Li Rui be afraid of such a disorganized attack? He sneered and kicked out again. Relying on his height and long legs, he had already kicked Li Rui's lower abdomen before Li Rui could hit him.
That beggar was almost kicked to the ground again. He barely managed to stabilize himself, but he was already grimacing in pain. In anger, he turned around and rummaged through the bag on the ground. Out of nowhere, he took out a shiny dagger and got up to rush at Li Rui.
At this moment, Li Rui thought that he was dreaming. If it wasn't, how could such a ridiculous thing happen? He only kicked the other party, but the other party took out a dagger and wanted to kill him? But when he saw the beggar's angry expression and resentful eyes, he immediately came back to his senses. This wasn't a dream, but something that really happened.
He wasn't a fool. He didn't think that he could defeat the beggar with a dagger with his martial arts. If the other party was holding a kitchen knife, it would be more likely. He clearly knew that he could only run now. If he didn't run, he would immediately be injured by the dagger. Once the dagger pierced his body, there was a high chance that he wouldn't be able to last until the ambulance arrived.
He turned around and grabbed Jiang Meixian's wrist, whose face had already turned pale, and shouted, "Run!" He ran in the direction he came from, but he was also puzzled. Why did this beggar carry a dagger with him? Was being a beggar just a side job and his main job was robbing?
Jiang Meixian didn't react at all, but she still obediently ran with him.
This scene happened less than five minutes after Li Rui said, "Don't worry, I'm here!" Less than five seconds had passed. It was supposed to be a big joke, but at this critical moment, the only witness, Jiang Meixian, wasn't in the mood to make fun of him.
On the sidewalk that was sometimes bright and sometimes dim, Li Rui pulled Jiang Meixian and ran in front while the beggar chased after them with a dagger in his hand. Li Rui was running very fast, but the beggar was also chasing him very tightly. That momentum of his was as if he was chasing after his father's murderer. At this time, no one doubted that once Li Rui was caught by him, he would definitely be stabbed seventeen or eighteen times.
Jiang Meixian ran very slowly in her high heels and almost sprained her ankle several times. Fortunately, Li Rui pulled her hard, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground. However, even if she fell to the ground and couldn't get up, her life wouldn't be in any danger because the beggar's current target was Li Rui and not her. Li Rui also knew this, but he didn't dare to take the risk of leaving her behind. He only cared about running for his life. Who knew if the fierce and stubborn beggar would come back to find trouble with Jiang Meixian after he couldn't catch up with him? It was better to take her with him and run for their lives.
As the beggar chased after them, he shouted "ah ba … ah ba" and his voice was filled with anger. Li Rui was secretly alarmed when he heard this. Based on his anger, if he was really caught by him, he definitely wouldn't have a good ending. Thinking of this, he hurriedly quickened his pace and didn't care if Jiang Meixian could keep up.
There was a crossroad in front of them and it was a red light. Li Rui didn't care anymore and pulled Jiang Meixian along as he rushed over. Coincidentally, there weren't many cars passing by, so the two of them quickly rushed to the sidewalk on the opposite side. However, at this moment, Jiang Meixian suddenly screamed. Li Rui turned around to look. It turned out that she ran over in a hurry and didn't raise her leg high enough. As a result, the heel of her high heels got stuck on the curb and her high heels fell.
Li Rui looked up and saw that the beggar was chasing after them. He didn't care about the red light and directly chased after them. He didn't have time to go back and pick up his shoes. He turned to Jiang Meixian and squatted down in front of her and shouted, "Come on, I'll carry you and run."
Although Jiang Meixian wasn't very willing, the situation was urgent and she had no other choice. She could only shake off her other shoe with a swing of her left foot. She leaned forward and lay on his body, stretching out her arms and hugging his neck tightly. Li Rui secretly shouted. Using the strength of his waist and legs, he stood up with a swoosh. He hooked his arms around her knees and took large strides forward, running wildly. Fortunately, his physical fitness was good, so it wasn't very difficult for him to carry a woman who was slightly more than 50 kilograms.
He looked back as he ran and saw that the evil beggar was still chasing after them. He was only about ten meters away from them. He felt angry and amused at the same time. For the first time, he realized the true meaning of "cutting off one's path to wealth is like killing one's parents". He only stopped him from snatching Jiang Meixian's purse. Did he really want to kill him? What a lunatic!
As they ran, a T-junction appeared in front of them. There was no road ahead, so they had to choose whether to go left or right. Li Rui felt a headache coming on when he saw this junction. In his memory, he didn't seem to have walked through this junction before. Now that he had to make a choice, he could only run in silence. He saw that the road on the left was dark, but the road on the right was brightly lit. He gritted his teeth and ran to the left with Jiang Meixian on his back. The reason why he chose the left was that the light on the left wasn't good. If he used it well, he could escape the beggar's pursuit.
The road on the left was a small alley that was slightly wider than the alley. The road was uneven and curved, and the roadside was full of cars, so it looked even narrower. Li Rui ran as hard as it was to carry a living person who weighed more than 100 kilograms, but there was no other way. In order to survive, he couldn't care less.
In the quiet alley, the sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground and heavy breathing could be heard.
"This won't do. We can't keep running like this."
Jiang Meixian suddenly shouted. She had already come back to her senses. When she turned around and saw that the beggar was still chasing after them, she felt that he would definitely kill the two of them tonight. She was afraid that he would catch up with them even if they ran to the ends of the earth. Since that was the case, running wouldn't solve the problem.
"Then … then … what do you think we should do?"
Li Rui was already panting and sweating profusely from running. If possible, he really wanted to put Jiang Meixian down and then lie on the ground to catch his breath. Of course, this was impossible now because the beggar was still yelling not far behind them. If he dared to stop, he would be stabbed in the next moment.
Jiang Meixian looked around and whispered, "We … better find a place to hide and hide. That beggar is like a mad dog. I think he will chase after us until tomorrow morning. " Li Rui felt that it was very reasonable. He panted and said, "I … I also want to hide, but … there is no place to hide. How can we hide … where can we hide?" Jiang Meixian sighed and said, "Let's walk forward. Maybe we can find a good place to hide."
Li Rui ran for about a hundred meters and saw that there was a turn in front of them. He hurriedly asked, "Is that beggar still chasing us?" Jiang Meixian said, "Yes, he is still chasing us. He is about twenty meters away from us." Li Rui was puzzled and asked, "Why don't we hear his footsteps?" Jiang Meixian was stunned and said, "Yes, we can't hear him. Oh, right, he isn't wearing shoes. He is barefoot." Li Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was really a barefoot person who wasn't afraid of wearing shoes. He cursed, "F * ck, he really wants to kill me! Is there such a big grudge? There must be something wrong with his brain! "
As they spoke, the two of them had already turned the corner. The road they turned into was also a small alley. There was a street lamp about thirty to forty meters deep. The other places were still dark and dim. A mighty and majestic Ford Raptor pickup truck was parked at the entrance of the alley. Although there wasn't much light in the area, it was still very eye-catching.
Li Rui and Jiang Meixian's eyes lit up when they saw this huge off-road vehicle with a bucket.
"Quickly hide in the bucket," Jiang Meixian whispered.
