Chapter 252 Xu Guining leaves
The man with the scar on his face stopped talking.
He lowered his head slightly and took a few bites of the wontons in the bowl and stuffed them into his stomach.
The sun was high in the sky, and the dazzling light shone through the crowd onto the faces of the two people.
I couldn't open my eyes for a moment.
When Xu Yiyi looked back, the two people hiding behind the crowd had already disappeared.
……
In front of the restaurant, two big red lanterns swayed gently in the wind.
As I opened the door, the familiar sandalwood scent hit me in the face.
"Si Hai, go to the backyard and call Lao Lu to clean these tables and chairs again."
Xu Yiyi said, picking up the bamboo basket, "I'm going to the market to buy some vegetables. Anyang, you go to Boss Song and bring back the frozen shark meat."
As he said this, he put Wu Yuan on his own small bed.
"Sister Yiyi, are you okay?"
Xu Anyang asked with a concerned tone.
On the way back to the restaurant, Xu Yiyi suddenly ran back for some unknown reason.
He looked hurried and something seemed amiss.
Xu Yiyi is not a very sensitive person, but that feeling of being pricked in the back has never gone away.
Only then would I suddenly run back to look.
Looking back now, she felt more and more that something was wrong, and she felt vaguely uneasy in her heart, as if she was being pressed down by a huge rock and couldn't breathe.
Seeing Xu Yiyi remained silent again, Xu Anyang frowned even deeper. He took a step forward, put the soup spoon on the counter, and waved his hand in front of her eyes. "Sister Yiyi, please don't scare me! Did someone bully you?"
After saying that, Xu Anyang looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and rolled up his sleeves to go fight.
Xu Yiyi shook her head again.
"I'm fine. I might have been too tired recently and had hallucinations."
Having said that, she knew in her heart that this matter was by no means that simple.
She subconsciously clenched her fists and looked at the bustling street outside the restaurant with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.
who can that be?
Xu Yiyi thought to herself.
It is said that Xu Guining escaped overnight.
I stayed near the dock all night, not daring to move.
At three quarters past midnight, the sound of a clapper suddenly rang out. The sound was dull and long, echoing back and forth in the empty streets.
The other people in the team walked two by two, their swords at their waists faintly visible in the night, and their footsteps were neat and powerful.
The curfew in their area is different from that in other areas.
In other places, starting from the hour of Xu, there is no one on the street.
It's very lively here at night.
If Xu Guining could escape at this time, he could take a boat back to the county town immediately.
Too bad it's past this point.
The patrol team was constantly coming, so he could only stay at the dock all night without sleeping.
As soon as the boat to the county town docked early in the morning, I got on board without stopping.
He happened to meet Xu Yiyi and her siblings coming from the island, and subconsciously hid himself.
I only breathed a sigh of relief after the people left.
At that time, he was leaning half of his body on the deck, feeling lazy and unwilling to move.
As soon as the merchant ship docked at the county town's pier and stopped, Xu Guining stood up with the help of the board and prepared to get off the ship.
However, as soon as he exerted force with his legs, a tingling sensation instantly spread from the soles of his feet to his entire body. He staggered and almost fell.
Then my arms became numb.
Xu Guining frowned and rubbed his numb legs subconsciously, feeling a little confused.
But I didn't think much about it. I just thought that I had maintained the same posture for too long while standing on the boat.
He gritted his teeth, held on, and limped towards the springboard.
The dock was bustling with people coming and going, but Lin Yanzhi was completely unaware, his mind full of thoughts about what he was going to do next.
Just as he was about to swagger onto the dock, he suddenly remembered that he was now a debtor who was hated by everyone in Lingxi County.
My heart suddenly rose to my throat.
In a panic, he quickly pulled the coarse cloth wrapped around his shoulders, covering most of his face tightly, leaving only a pair of vigilant eyes exposed, looking around with a shifty look.
While hesitating at the dock, the vicious faces of the debt collectors and the threats and intimidation of the casino thugs flashed through Xu Guining's mind like a kaleidoscope.
"Damn it, it's all Xu Yiyi's fault. If she hadn't been unwilling to pay me, I wouldn't have to hide around now..."
Xu Guining muttered to himself.
"Get out of the way."
A ferocious voice sounded, and Xu Guining was frightened reflexively.
He didn't dare to say a word and gave up the way.
Now in this county town, his family's house has been mortgaged to a gambling house, his wife and children have returned to their parents' home, ordinary inns certainly dare not take him in, and his relatives and friends have long avoided him.
"How about going to my mother-in-law's house?"
As soon as Xu Guining had this idea, he gave it up immediately.
If he dared to step into his mother-in-law's house, his hot-tempered brother-in-law would probably break his legs.
When he was at his wit's end, the figure of Zhan Jilan suddenly flashed through his mind.
She ran from Ping'an Town to the county town and settled down in a secret residence on the outskirts of the city.
Thinking of this, Xu Guining gritted his teeth and plunged into the crowd like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.
To avoid the busy city, he chose to walk in narrow alleys.
The alley was filled with a foul odor and sewage, but he didn't care much. The stone pavement under his feet was bumpy and uneven, and he almost tripped several times.
Despite being nervous, he didn't notice that his legs were becoming increasingly difficult to walk with.
After finally arriving at the outskirts of the city, Xu Guining's tense nerves finally relaxed when he looked at the small house where Zhan Jilan lived. He raised his hand and knocked on the wooden door.
"Who?"
Zhan Jilan's voice came from the door, revealing a sense of vigilance.
"It's me! Open the door quickly."
Xu Guining lay at the door, looking around, not daring to reveal his face easily.
There was a dead silence behind the door. Xu Guining pricked up his ears and vaguely heard the sound of light pacing, as if Zhan Jilan was weighing something.
After a while, there was the sound of a wooden stick tapping on the ground. Obviously, she was still holding the weapon for self-defense.
With a creaky sound, the wooden door slowly opened a crack, and Zhan Jilan appeared behind the crack with a wooden stick in his hand and his body half covered.
Her makeup was a little messy, and her eyes were full of vigilance. She looked Xu Guining up and down as if she were looking at a stranger.
"Why are you here?" She said in a cold voice with a hint of reluctance.
"Why are you asking so many questions? Hurry up and go in."
Xu Guining said impatiently and reached out to push the door.
Zhan Jilan blocked with a wooden stick and looked at the man lying on the ground in surprise.
"Her strength has increased?"
Zhan Jilan thought so in his heart and was a little surprised.
"You stinky bitch, you're shameless, huh? Do you believe I'll spank you?"
Xu Guining cursed loudly and stared at Zhan Jilan as if he wanted to eat her.
Looking at the person in front of her who looked like her husband, a trace of disgust flashed across her eyes.
His brows were furrowed, and a trace of struggle flashed across his face.
She bit her lower lip and was silent for a moment before she stepped aside to let Xu Guining in. Her tone was still cold: "Come in first."
"Help me in!"
Xu Guining is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Seeing Zhan Jilan let go, he began to climb up the pole.
