Chapter 31 The darkness under the prosperity

When Xiao Lin's figure appeared again, he felt the delicate and smooth touch in his hands, and a complex feeling of joy and loss arose in his heart.

"Even if you have your own consciousness, it's still not recognized? I'm sorry, Liu Zi."

"There is no need to apologize, Mr. Xiaolin. It's better to say that it's just right. If you didn't have me as your waiter, you would definitely die if you turned around. After all, Mr. Xiaolin is so useless."

"Can I translate that as you are worried about me?"

He had long been accustomed to Liu Zi's arrogant and venomous tongue, and it was not difficult to hear her true thoughts.

Xiao Lin turned to her and said: "But Liu Zi is right, you will make me feel at ease when you are by my side. There is no doubt about this. Thank you, Liu Zi."

"Does Mr. Xiaolin really hope to rely on me?"

"Ah, so can I ask you for a favor, Miss Liuzi?"

Xiao Lin bent his knees slightly and extended his right hand to her, with expectation in his eyes, as if he was inviting the girl to dance together.

Liu Zi was hit by a sudden straight ball. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to speak venomously, but after a pause, she only said: "I can't help it. Who asked me to be Mr. Xiaolin's waiter?"

Is this fear related to the nobility?

However, such a simple concern made the little girl even more frightened.

But Xiao Lin just stood there, looking at her with a smile.

Is there a dark side hidden under the prosperity?

"Huh, interesting."

"Thank you for your concern, I have nothing...?!"

The little girl's sudden move frightened Xiao Lin, leaving him no time to react.

"You...really don't blame me?"

Noble Lord?

It was obvious that such a commotion had just occurred, but it did not attract much attention from the people around... No, they noticed it and did not pay attention to it. It seemed that they had become accustomed to it.

"Oh, young man, I'm so sorry for bumping into you." The old woman grabbed Xiao Lin's hand and said apologetically: "I am a blind woman, I hope you won't blame me, young man."

"Ah, really, I didn't lie to you."

There were many pedestrians around, but they were not curious about the sudden appearance of Xiao Lin. It should be the effect of the ring, which could temporarily obscure his presence.

"Ah, it hurts."

"No, no, no, I'll live on the corner not far ahead, so I won't bother you." The old woman waved her hand and refused, as if she didn't want to trouble others.

"……Eh?"

Xiao Lin quickly squatted down, stretched out his right hand to her and said with concern: "Old lady, are you okay?"

The old woman grabbed Xiao Lin's clothes with both hands, seeming to use him as a handle to help her stand up. After standing up, her hands kept groping for the position of the crutch. It seemed that she was indeed an invisible old woman.

"Here, here it is."

After regaining consciousness, he quickly helped the little girl up to prevent her from further hurting her fragile body.

————

He looked like he had seen a ghost.

"Okay, since you don't need me." Xiao Lin said indifferently.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please forgive me! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please forgive me! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please forgive me! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!..."

Seeing her hard work, Xiao Lin took the initiative to put the crutches in her hands.

"Okay, what should we do next?"

Then the two waved goodbye.

Xiao Lin helped her pick up the crutches: "How could I blame you? Come on, old lady, slow down."

Xiaolin became more interested in the new world.

Turn around and look down.

The little girl thanked her politely.

Then Xiaolin held it tightly.

Xiao Lin touched her bruised forehead distressedly and used skills to heal the wound.

Xiao Lin knelt down and helped her pick up the apples. At the same time, he asked with concern: "Kid, are you okay? Are you injured anywhere?"

She quickly knelt down in front of Xiao Lin, put her hands on the ground and kowtowed.

Xiao Lin also smiled shyly and asked: "Where are you going? Do you need me to take you there?"

A soft cry of pain and the sound of objects falling came from behind.

Xiao Lin looked at the magnificent palace and the bustling streets in the distance.

Seeing her pale face and frightened eyes, Xiao Lin was a little worried about her health and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

The old woman touched the familiar crutch, smiled reassuringly, and thanked: "Thank you, young man."

After being helped up, the little girl continued to apologize and said in a panic: "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to offend you, noble lord! I still have a seriously ill mother and a young brother at home who need someone to take care of me! Please forgive me! Please.

, please forgive me!”

what is going on?!

Although he didn't understand why the little girl reacted so violently, Xiao Lin knew that he had to stop it quickly, otherwise it would definitely cause a large commotion and attract others' attention.

This time it was an old woman on crutches.

"You're welcome."

But when she saw Liu Zi, her smiling face suddenly froze, her big and smart eyes showed obvious fear, and even her voice became trembling.

"Of course. Okay, okay, don't you still have a seriously ill mother and young brother to take care of? Go back quickly."

He walked very slowly, and after taking a few steps he looked back slightly, as if he was waiting for something.

Hearing what Xiao Lin said, the little girl suddenly fell silent and her eyes turned gray.

Put your hand gently on Xiaolin's hand.

"Ah, I know, there is something wrong with this city."

It wasn't until the little girl came to a corner that her eyes regained their original look. She turned around, bowed deeply to Xiao Lin, lowered her head and ran away in a hurry, disappearing in the alley in a flash.

She gently picked up the basket on the floor.

"Ouch~ I fell to death."

Although Xiao Lin explained to her, she still didn't seem to believe it, and couldn't help but ask softly: "Don't you blame me for bumping into you?"

But when he turned his head to look, people turned their heads to avoid looking, not daring to pry more.

Hearing Xiao Lin's explanation, the little girl didn't believe it. She looked at Liu Zihou carefully and asked Nuo Nuo, "Really?"

Suddenly, he was hit on the back.

The old woman who fell to the ground cried out in pain.

However--

"No blame. So, stop hurting yourself."

Xiao Lin keenly heard the key words from her mouth, thought about it, tried to put on a gentle and friendly expression, and said softly: "You misunderstood, I am not a noble."

"Master Xiaolin..."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"I'm just like you, just an ordinary civilian."

"thank you."

At the same time, Xiao Lin was also keenly aware that the surrounding people were constantly casting strange looks towards him. They were looks of pity, worry, hatred, hatred, good and evil, which were constantly changing and fell on the little girl and him respectively.

A very thin little girl, about 11 or 12 years old, wearing coarse linen clothes, fell to the ground, with a few rotten, moldy, shriveled apples scattered around her.

Looking at the buildings and the hurried pedestrians that are completely different from "Su Qing", Xiao Lin's nervous and cautious appearance when he first arrived is like a deer who wants to cross the river but is constantly testing the rapidity of the river.

"Goodbye, young man."

He was so strong that he even bruised his forehead without stopping. At the same time, he kept uttering words of begging for mercy.

"Hey, you...! Why are you doing this?"

I don't know if it was bad luck or good luck, but he bumped into another person.

"Goodbye, old lady..."

Xiao Lin said goodbye to her with a smile, but the smile was so weird.
