I like traveling the most

Chapter 31 The darkness beneath 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 was already used 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 please ask you, Miss Liu Zi?"

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?"

Put your hand gently on Xiaolin's hand.

Then Xiaolin held it tightly.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Okay, what should we do next?"

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.

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

Suddenly, he was hit on the back.

"Ah, it hurts."

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

Turn around and look down.

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.

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?"

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine...?!"

The little girl thanked her politely.

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.

He looked like he had seen a ghost.

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

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

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

"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!..."

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

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

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

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

At the same time, Xiao Lin was also keenly aware of the strange looks from around him, which were pity, worry, hatred, and hatred. The good and evil looks kept changing and fell on the little girl and him respectively.

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

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.

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!”

Noble Lord?

Is this fear related to the nobility?

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."

"...Eh?"

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

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

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

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?"

"No blame. So, stop hurting yourself."

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

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

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

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

She gently picked up the basket from the floor.

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

But Xiao Lin just stood there and looked at her with a smile.

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

"Master Xiaolin..."

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

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

Even though there was such a commotion just now, it did not attract much attention from the people around... No, they noticed it but did not care, as if they had already gotten used to it.

A dark side hidden under the prosperity?

"Humph, interesting."

Xiao Lin became more interested in the new world.

However——

I don't know if it was bad luck or good luck, he bumped into someone again.

This time it was an old woman with a cane.

"Ouch~ I'm going to die from the fall."

The old woman who fell to the ground cried out softly.

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

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

Xiaolin helped her pick up the crutches: "How could I blame you? Come on, old lady, go slowly."

"Thank you."

The old lady grabbed Xiaolin's clothes with both hands, as if she was using him as a handle to help herself stand up. After standing up, she kept groping for the position of the crutches with both hands. It seems that she is indeed a blind old lady.

"Here, give it to you."

Seeing her hard work, Xiaolin took the initiative to hand the crutches to her.

The old woman touched the familiar cane, smiled with relief, and thanked: "Thank you, young man."

"You're welcome."

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

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

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

Then the two waved goodbye.

"Goodbye, young man."

"Goodbye, old woman..."

Xiao Lin smiled and said goodbye to her, but that smile was so weird.
