The wind blew, ruffling their hair, and their skirts swayed gently in the wind.

Along the way, Shen Miaoyu looked up at Li Luo from time to time, while Li Luo kept an eye on the movements around him.

When the two walked out of the narrow gap and returned to the spacious street, the outside world was still shrouded in thick, inky darkness.

The darkness seemed to have substance, weighing heavily on people's hearts.

It was pitch black all around, with only a few dim street lamps emitting a faint light like candles in the wind.

The light seemed so small and fragile in the endless darkness, as if it would be ruthlessly swallowed by the darkness in the next second.

Every ray of light is struggling, yet seems so powerless.

The long-dead trees on both sides of the road swayed wildly in the wind, and the dry branches collided with each other, making a sharp creaking sound.

Their broken branches and leaves danced like the devil's claws, casting eerie black shadows, like hideous monsters crawling out of hell, as if ready to drag people into the endless dark abyss at any time.

There was no one on the road, and it was so quiet that it made people feel uneasy.

All that could be heard were the two people's light footsteps and Shen Miaoyu's slightly rapid breathing, which seemed particularly clear in the silence.

Occasionally, there were cries of unknown animals, the sounds were either sharp or low, piercing the night sky and adding a bit of horror to the atmosphere.

Maybe it was the cry of a night owl, or maybe it was the roar of an unknown wild animal.

The sharp and strange sounds echoed in the darkness, each one was like a sharp thorn, piercing people's hearts and making them terrified.

Shen Miaoyu held Li Luo's arm tightly.

Although everywhere was shrouded in darkness, the strength and warmth from Li Luo's arm flowed slowly into Shen Miaoyu's heart like a warm current, making her feel extremely safe.

"Sister, thank you for coming back with me."

Shen Miaoyu said softly, her voice full of dependence and gratitude from the bottom of her heart.

Originally, she was thinking about going back by herself, after all, she had walked this road many times.

But somehow, she felt extremely nervous along the way, and that feeling of nervousness followed her like a shadow.

With every step she took, she felt as if countless pairs of eyes were watching her in the darkness, and she was afraid that a bad guy would suddenly jump out from some dark corner.

Fortunately, Li Luo was with her, otherwise she really didn't know how she would face this creepy darkness.

Li Luo smiled slightly, gently patted Shen Miaoyu's hand, and said in a joking tone:

"Why, are you scared now?"

Shen Miaoyu nodded embarrassedly, her voice as small as a mosquito:

"Sister, I have never walked this road at night."

Li Luo's eyes were full of tenderness, and he smiled and comforted her:

"Don't worry, I won't let you go down this road alone again."

The two of them walked and chatted.

The wind was still blowing, but the sound didn't seem so scary anymore.

Shen Miaoyu's steps were no longer so heavy, and she shared her daily life with Li Luo from time to time.

Li Luo sometimes listened with a smile, and sometimes responded softly. Their words were like the twinkling stars in the night sky, adding a touch of warmth to this dark road.

At this time, Shen Miaoyu had completely forgotten the suffering she had endured before under the influence of Li Luo's spiritual power.

A quarter of an hour later.

Shen Miaoyu brought Li Luo to an old courtyard.

The gate of the courtyard looked a bit dilapidated. The paint on it had long since peeled off, revealing the rotten wood inside. The texture of the wood seemed to tell the vicissitudes of time.

The courtyard wall was low and unstable, and the bricks had become loose in some places, and it seemed that it would collapse with just the slightest push.

Walking into the yard, there was a damp and musty smell in the air, and there were some miscellaneous items piled up in the corners.

There were broken baskets, rusty farm tools, and wooden boards stacked in a disorderly manner, making the place look a mess.

The stone pavement on the ground was covered with moss, and it was obvious that there were obvious signs of life here.

However, at this moment, the yard was empty.

This is the base of the small force where Shen Miaoyu works.

The entire courtyard is rectangular, with two slightly larger rooms on each side, and a larger main room facing the courtyard gate.

On the west side of the yard, there was a small compartment made of bricks and wooden boards.

That is where Shen Miaoyu lives.

Shen Miaoyu brought Li Luo to this compartment.

I saw that the shaky door was hanging crookedly, as if it would fall off the door frame at any moment.

Standing outside the house, you can smell a strong and pungent smell coming towards your nose, making you want to cover your mouth and nose.

It turned out that this cubicle was right next to the toilet, and the strange smell was seeping in from the side.

"Sister, I live here." Shen Miaoyu's voice broke the silence in the yard. There was a hint of subtle shyness in her voice, but also an indescribable calmness.

Looking at this environment, Li Luo couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.

Her eyes wandered in this small and cramped space, and her brows were slightly furrowed.

How does this little girl live in such a simple environment?

Shen Miaoyu had no idea what Li Luo was thinking. With a faint smile on her face, she happily took Li Luo into the house.

This was the first time she brought someone home since she moved into the Jinling base.

For Shen Miaoyu, this moment seemed to give her the illusion of returning to the heyday.

At that time, people could freely invite friends to their homes and share the joys and sorrows of life.

Inside the house, dim light came in through the narrow window, barely illuminating a corner of the room.

The ground was bumpy and uneven, and you could even feel the slight dust flying when you walked on it.

This small compartment is not large and is simply furnished.

There was only a simple wooden bed inside. The bedding on the bed was worn and thin, and the patches on the mattress were clearly visible.

There was a small cabinet beside the bed. Although it was simple, Shen Miaoyu had wiped it clean.

The door of the closet was half-open, with a few pieces of clothing scattered inside.

Apart from the bed and the small cabinet, there is also a table piled with things, which is all the furniture.

"Sister, don't despise me. Although this place looks shabby, I clean it every morning and evening. It's very clean."

As Shen Miaoyu spoke, she looked at Li Luo nervously, as if she was worried that she would show a look of disgust.

Li Luo walked forward, gently held Shen Miaoyu's hand, and said:

“Quick Words, you are really great and strong!”

Her voice was gentle yet firm, causing a warm current to surge in Shen Miaoyu's heart.
