After a relatively friendly second meeting, the two got to know each other.

"You said, you want to hire me to take you to familiarize yourself with Dusk Street?" Pado tilted his head and looked at the man in front of him with doubtful eyes.

Fu Xia gently put the cat down and nodded.

"Yes, I'm new here and I don't understand the situation here. It would be bad if I cause any trouble. I heard that you were born here and have lived here for many years. I want you to introduce this place to me."

"Besides, I'm also quite interested in you."

Fu Xia teased Pado, took out a reward notice from his pocket, and faced it with Pado.

Padu felt a chill.

"You don't want to send me there in exchange for reward, don't!"

"Hahaha, of course not. Well, it doesn't seem impossible. How about we discuss it and each of us can get half the bounty."

Fu Xia touched his chin, as if considering the feasibility of this matter.

Seeing Padu quietly take a few steps back, he quickly apologized.

"Ah, don't be afraid. I was just joking. How can I really send a little girl to a dead end? Besides, I don't like that little money."

"Oh, it seems you don't want to accept this commission..." Fu Xia took out a few bills. "It seems you have to stay in my hands for a while longer."

When Paduo saw the banknotes, his eyes turned into the shape of gold coins. Regardless of his fear, he snatched them from Fu Xia's hand at an extremely fast speed.

"If you have money, take it out as soon as possible. For their sake, I will accept your commission."

"When will we start?"

Fu Xia looked at the sky and saw that it was already dark and the sun had completely set.

"Tomorrow, you go to the martial arts studio to find me tomorrow morning."

"I understand, please leave quickly." Pado smiled and waved her hand, wanting to send this person away from her secret base quickly.

"See you tomorrow then." Fu Xia waved and jumped onto the eaves.

"Finally gone..." Pado breathed a sigh of relief, looking at his nest and thinking about moving.

It's no longer safe here. Those who work in this business must be careful enough. Of course, the most important thing is to run fast.

"that……"

The man's voice sounded behind him, and Pado turned around very quickly, already holding a sharp fruit knife in his hand.

"Don't be nervous." Fu Xia raised his hands and looked at Paduo with innocent eyes.

"It's you, really, why is there no sound when walking?" Pado put away the knife and said innocently.

"You can't blame me. Why did you live in such a remote place? It was easy for me to follow you when I came here, but I won't have a guide when I go back." Fu Xia spread his hands. He said helplessly. In short, he was lost and couldn't find his way home. Fortunately, he still remembered where Pado was, otherwise it would have been difficult.

"You followed me secretly and complained that I live in a remote place. You..." Looking at the banknotes in Fu Xia's hand, Pado stopped talking.

"Huh? What's wrong with me, why don't you continue?" Fu Xia waved the banknotes and smiled happily.

"Oops!" Pado took the banknote, completely different from before, and pressed Fu Xia's shoulders enthusiastically.

"Boss, you are such a good person. I have never seen such an outstanding person like you. My admiration for you is like a river, flowing endlessly..."

"Okay, okay, let's go. It's quite cold today." Fu Xia interrupted Pado. It seemed that money mattered to Pado.

Padu put away the plastic bags and covered the shack with plastic sheeting again.

"Then let's go, go early and come back early!"

Fu Xia glanced at the plastic bag put by Pado, pursed her lips, and followed Pado into the house.

Twilight Street really deserves the name "Twilight". There are almost no people on the street in the dark. Occasionally, if you encounter one, you will wrap yourself in thick clothes and scan the surroundings warily. It is very deserted.

"Pado, why are there so few people on the street and why are the shops closed so early?" Fu Xia asked.

"Ah?" Pado, who was walking in front, didn't hear clearly and turned around, waiting for Fu Xia to repeat it again before answering.

"Because the twilight streets at night are very dangerous, hush, listen!"

There was a burst of gunfire not far away, followed by roars and cries of pain.

Pado continued to walk in front without changing her expression. Of course, she did not forget the generous donor behind her and introduced him to him.

"This is very common in Twilight Street. It's just an ordinary fight. It's probably a conflict between two gangs. The gang boss has a very hot temper. Don't mess with him. There is no law here, and everyone is very repulsive to outsiders. , especially official personnel, can’t investigate anything here.”

Fu Xia nodded thoughtfully.

Dusk Street is not big, and soon the store Fu Xia bought arrived.

"Then I'm leaving..." Pado waved to Fu Xia and was about to leave.

"Wait..." Fu Xia stopped her, smiled warmly, and extended an invitation to her. "Pado, I'm really sorry that the dinner you bought is cold. If you don't mind, you can have a meal at my place."

Pado looked at him steadily. Under the warm light, the boy smiled and invited her. This reminded her of the old beggar who raised her but left early.

By some strange coincidence, Pado agreed. Now, she was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching Fu Xia put on an apron.

"Wait, are you the one cooking?"

Fu Xia looked at her strangely and asked, "Of course it's me, otherwise?"

"Well, let me help you." Pado followed. She thought Fu Xia was going to order takeout and treat herself to a meal, but she didn't expect that she would be cooking for herself. No, you have to keep an eye on him. If he puts medicine in the food, you will be in trouble.

"Okay." Fu Xia walked into the kitchen, looked at Paduo's confused look, and arranged work for Paduo. "Wash these vegetables."

Pado took the vegetables to the sink and washed them smartly.

It didn't take long for a sumptuous meal to be prepared.

There weren't many ingredients prepared in the refrigerator, so Fu Xia cooked a few home-cooked dishes.

He took off his apron, gave the bowl and chopsticks to Padu, and said with a smile: "Try it quickly, this is my hometown dish, you watch me make it, don't worry about me being drugged."

Padu held her chopsticks awkwardly and nodded with a blush, but she didn't pay much attention. Her experience of living alone in these years told her that it is best not to trust others easily. Trust is expensive and dangerous.

Seeing Pado's embarrassment, unable to pick up the food after working for a while, Fu Xia remembered that she didn't know how to use chopsticks, picked up the chopsticks, and demonstrated it to her, explaining the essentials. After a while, Pado He is very skillful in using it, and he keeps holding vegetables with his right hand, accompanying the rice, and his mouth is full of oil.

Late at night, Pado was lying on a warm big bed, covered with a clean quilt, so comfortable that he couldn't fall asleep. This is the guest room, which Fu Xia has been cleaning. It is worth mentioning that this house has a master bedroom, two auxiliary bedrooms, and a study room, which is very large.
