Qiao Qixin couldn't help but sigh, then she wrapped up the remaining three pineapple cakes and prepared to take them back to Sister Zhang.
"What else do you want to eat?" Liu Zhan asked.
Qiao Qixin looked around and said, "I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes and barbecue."
"Okay." Liu Zhan nodded, went to the barbecue stall and bought ten large mutton skewers for Qiao Qixin, and then went to the sweet potato roasting cart to pick out the two largest sweet potatoes for her.
When he was about to give her the food, he turned around and found that Qiao Qixin was no longer behind him.
Liu Zhan secretly thought it was not good and immediately found someone.
——
In the alley of Bian Lingcheng
"Who are you?!" Qiao Qixin was blocked in a corner by several gangsters wearing black masks.
"Girl, you are very brave to go out alone in the middle of the night." The leader of the group put one hand on the wall behind Qiao Qixin.
Qiao Qixin held the pineapple cake in her arms and looked at the people warily, "Don't come near me! I'm calling someone!"
"No matter how loud you scream, no one will come to save you." The gangster leader reached out and lifted Qiao Qixin's chin.
"Here comes someone! There is a gangster teasing a common girl!"
Let’s solve the problem first!
Qiao Qixin couldn't care less about Shunyuan who was still looking for her, and shouted loudly.
When the gangsters saw this, they didn't stop her mouth, but looked at Qiao Qixin with their hands folded across their chests, as if they were watching a joke.
Qiao Qixin's throat hurt from shouting, but no one came to the alley to take a look.
It shouldn't be, this place is not far from the street just now.
Qiao Qixin frowned, gradually realizing the seriousness of the problem.
"Hey, stop screaming?" the gangster leader challenged, "Keep screaming, little beauty, the more you call me, the more excited you will be."
Qiao Qixin said nothing and looked at several people with sharp eyes.
"Brother, stop teasing her, hurry up, the brothers are already waiting in a hurry!"
A gangster yelled from behind, causing a burst of laughter.
"You're the one who's so anxious." The gangster leader turned around and spat.
"Little beauty, you heard it, the brothers are all worried." The gangster leader smiled lewdly, his eyes wandering on Qiao Qixin's chest, "We are not bad people, as long as you make the brothers feel comfortable, the brothers
Let you go immediately."
Qiao Qixin looked at the gangster leader approaching her, panic flashed in her eyes, and her face gradually turned pale.
The gangster leader was very satisfied with her appearance, and when he was about to move his hands on Qiao Qixin, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his crotch.
Qiao Qixin said "Huh".
Why did he fall down before he even kicked?
She looked up and saw a nearly double figure moving deftly among the gangsters.
Within half a moment, the gangsters who tied Qiao Qixin into the alley fell to the ground and rolled around, wailing in pain while holding their hands.
"Sorry, I'm late." Liu Zhan said softly, then took off his cloak and covered Qiao Qixin's body.
Qiao Qixin smelled the cold fragrance on Liu Zhan's body, which was similar to that of winter plums, and smiled, "It's okay, thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do if I was alone."
"Well, let's go." Liu Zhan took Qiao Qixin's shoulders and walked out of the alley.
"You guys, how dare you do this to us...my boss will never let you go!" The gangster leader lay on the ground and pointed his finger at the two men stubbornly.
Liu Zhan stopped and said, "Qiao Qixin, please go out first. I still have some things to do."
Qiao Qixin looked back at the stubborn gangster leader, lowered her eyes and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the barbecue stall."
"Um."
Liu Zhan turned around and walked into the dark alley, while Qiao Qixin walked towards the warm candlelight at the entrance of the alley.
"Little girl, do you want to eat?" the owner of the barbecue stall asked tentatively.
Qiao Qixin stood in front of the barbecue stall and swallowed her saliva. The aroma of burnt caramel and chili noodles constantly assaulted her sense of smell.
After hearing what the owner of the barbecue stall said, Qiao Qixin touched her body and found out only a copper plate that she didn't know when she had fallen into her pocket.
Mutton kebabs cost three copper coins each.
Qiao Qixin looked at the entrance of the alley expectantly. Liu Zhan showed no sign of coming out.
She pursed her lips, carefully took out the wax paper holding the pineapple cake from her arms, and then opened it layer by layer.
"Boss, can I trade this pineapple cake with you for a mutton skewer?" Qiao Qixin looked at the barbecue stall owner with a look of anticipation and prayer.
The barbecue stall owner was silent.
"Please, please, please." Qiao Qixin held the pineapple cake in front of the boss like a treasure, "You see it's still warm, just switch with me, please, please."
"Huh?"
Before getting a reply from the owner of the barbecue stall, Qiao Qixin felt someone pulling her arm back, and at the same time, a familiar voice sounded——
"Boss, this is a small amount of money. Please bring me ten skewers of mutton."
"Okay, wait a moment!" The owner of the barbecue stall got busy.
"Liu Zhan? You actually came out." Qiao Qixin said in surprise.
Liu Zhan: "..." This sounds weird.
"Where are those little gangsters? What did you do to them?" Qiao Qixin asked curiously.
"After I told them about the Tao Te Ching and promised not to harm the people again, I let them go." Liu Zhan said calmly. This chapter has been completed!
