Chapter 1727 Time and Space Merchant (4)

Xi Jing went to put on the one he just wore and came out. Chu Zheng had already opened the door.

She was looking outside, seemingly observing the environment.

This place is a very old building with many residents living in a corridor.

Xi Jing's room is close to the middle, and you have to walk some distance to go downstairs.

At this time, many people's doors were open, and people were coming in and out, making it busy.

With a new face like Chu Zheng, standing here naturally attracted some people's attention.

However, people here are probably more concerned about what they will eat tomorrow, so curiosity is just curiosity, and no one will meddle in other people's business.

"Cry, cry, cry, I know how to raise such an unlucky thing like you." In the next room, the man cursed angrily as he went out, carrying a box in his hand, like a repairman's tool box.

The man cursed and left.

This is the one who was still scolding the child last night.

Xi Jing tidied up his clothes, trotted out, and locked the door: "I'm ready."

"Um."

Chuzheng walked toward the stairs, and Xi Jing followed her with his head lowered.

When I walked to the house near the stairs, a head suddenly popped out: "Stop, little dwarf."

Xi Jing's body visibly stiffened, and his hands tightened on his clothes.

A middle-aged man smelling of alcohol came out. He was slovenly and had not taken care of himself for an unknown period of time.

"Go, buy me a bottle of wine and come back." The middle-aged man directed Xi Jing.

Xi Jing whispered: "I have no money..."

The middle-aged man said in a rough voice: "I don't care whether you have money or not. Go quickly. Why are you standing here, asking for a beating?"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man raised his hand and was about to hit the banquet.

Xi Jing had no intention of fighting back. He just instinctively ducked back. However, the pain he imagined did not come. Instead, the middle-aged man let out a scream.

The scream was so harsh that everyone in the rooms behind stretched out their heads to look.

A middle-aged man's wrist was pinched by a little girl, and his body was twisted downwards in a weird posture.

This drunkard is hated by everyone on the whole floor. However, the drunkard usually hangs out with some unscrupulous gangsters who cannot afford to offend him, so everyone usually walks around him.

Drunkards will occasionally take some of their stuff, but it won't go too far. Everyone just tolerates it and gets over it. It's better than having gangsters come to your door every now and then to make trouble.

Only the child who lives alone on this floor is often caught and bullied by drunkards.

We all can't take care of ourselves, so we don't have time to take care of others. On weekdays, everyone just takes a look, and then goes about their own business as if nothing has happened.

I didn't expect to see such a scene today.

This little girl doesn't look big, her figure is slender and frail, the kind that would fall over if the wind blows.

But the drunkard's pile of fat was incapable of resisting in front of this little girl.

Chuzheng raised her foot and kicked the drunkard's lower body. The drunkard screamed again and fell to the ground, clutching a certain area, rolling on the ground in pain.

Chuzheng was annoyed, so she kicked him twice, lowered herself down, and threatened in a low voice: "If I see you touching him again, I'll kill you."

What she said was not loud, and the drunkard howled so fiercely that Xi Jing, who was standing behind, didn't hear it clearly.

The drunkard looked into Chu Zheng's cold eyes, and the chill that ran down his spine seemed to suppress the heartbreaking pain, and a wave of fear surged in his heart.

After Chuzheng kicked someone, I felt that my soul had been sublimated and my body and mind were relaxed.

Chuzheng came out, pulled Xi Jing downstairs, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Everyone looked at each other for a while, then walked out slowly, went to the drunkard's side, and looked around.

"Who was that girl just now?"

"Don't you know...that child's relatives?"

"No way, I haven't seen any relatives of him for so long."

-

Xi Jing was dragged downstairs by Chu Zheng. He lost his balance on the last few steps and staggered into Chu Zheng's back.

Xi Jing covered his forehead and apologized in a panic: "I'm sorry..."

Chuzheng's breath was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't even come out looking at him like this.

"Where can I buy clothes?"

Xi Jing touched his forehead and whispered, "There is a shopping mall not far ahead."

Chuzheng pulled him away and Xi Jing almost stumbled again, but Chuzheng was not as fast as before this time and he could keep up.

After walking a few steps, Xi Jing realized that he was being held by her hand.

The girl's hands were white and tender, and it looked like they had never done any work. They were very well-maintained.

Xi Jing's whole body froze.

she……

Xi Jing thought about the roughness and wounds of his injury, and immediately wanted to take his hand back.

However, Xi Jing didn't dare to struggle, and in the end it seemed like he was following Chu Zheng with both hands and feet.

Fortunately, Chuzheng's attention didn't seem to be on him and she didn't pay too much attention to him.

When the light turned green, Xi Jing found his voice: "Are you okay?"

"never mind."

Xi Jing paused for a while and then asked, "Why...why did you faint on the road?"

Chuzheng: "..."

Suddenly it occurred to me that he might have seen her in such a state of embarrassment and wanted to kill her?

Finally thinking that this should be her good person card, she resisted the urge, silently recited several times that the good person card is the most important, and said with a stern face: "Accident."

"oh……"

Xi Jing was obedient and didn't ask any further questions.

-

The shopping mall Xi Jing mentioned is a little different from the shopping mall Chu Zheng mentioned. This is basically a wholesale market.

Chuzheng went in first to buy two sets of clothes for herself, but the money spent was only a little. Clothes are really cheap here.

Chuzheng pulled Xi Jing into a men's clothing store: "Pick what you like."

Xi Jing pointed at himself in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe that Chu Zheng wanted him to pick out clothes.

Chuzheng nodded.

"I... don't need... it's too expensive..." Xi Jing shook his head repeatedly.

"You..." Chuzheng took a deep breath: "You saved me, this is a thank you gift, pick it up quickly."

"I just brought you back, I didn't do anything, no need..." Xi Jing still refused. Apart from putting a little effort into bringing her back, he didn't do anything after that, and he received no reward.

Chuzheng let go of Xi Jing's hand, put it on his shoulder, and gently pulled him into her arms: "What color do you like?"

Xi Jing was suddenly hugged by someone. His face turned red at first, and then he started struggling.

Chuzheng pressed his shoulder and looked at him: "Don't move. You don't want to make a scene here, do you?"

Xi Jing: "..."

He looked around, and sure enough, someone was looking over here. The blush on his face became more obvious, and his heartbeat was beating wildly.

"What color do you like?" Chuzheng asked again.

Xi Jing pursed his lips and shook his head.

Chuzheng didn't ask any questions, pointed to two sets of clothes, and asked the store to bring him the number he was wearing.

"Are you going to try it yourself, or should I help you?"

Xi Jing: "..."

Xi Jing's eyes were a little red from being forced. When Chu Zheng pulled him to do something, Xi Jing grabbed his clothes and went to the curtain next to him.

Chuzheng watched the curtain fall and raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling better.
