Looking at the back of the little girl running out, Xu Zimo shook his head slightly and smiled.
In this world of intrigue and deception, the strong is king.
There are always some people or things that make you feel meaningful.
Xu Zimo finished dinner, but still couldn't wait for the little girl to appear.
He put the flower basket aside. It was already afternoon and there was still some time before dark.
Xu Zimo decided to go out for a walk.
This Fearless City is considered a large city, connecting the coastlines of the Northern Continent and the Eastern Continent.
Therefore, in this city, the people of the Eastern Continent and the people of the Northern Continent are in a state of balance.
In the bustling streets of the city, Xu Zimo could even see people of other races everywhere.
On this continent, many races even coexist peacefully.
A polygonal tribe with three horns on its head.
There are also flying winged tribes with two wings.
There is also a bull demon clan with a human body and an bull’s head.
Of course, the most numerous creatures in this city are the killing clan.
Their appearance is similar to humans, with brown skin.
Their teeth are much sharper than ordinary people, and they only have four fingers.
Moreover, the jawbone of the face is much more prominent, and the nose is almost collapsed on the face.
You can almost tell the difference between their races at a glance.
…………
Walking on the lively street.
The climate in winter has also begun to heat up.
After walking for a while, Xu Zimo saw a group of people gathering together on the side of the street.
He seems to be watching the fun.
The crowd was talking a lot, and Xu Zimo went over to take a look with interest.
"This girl knew how to steal things at a young age, and when she grew up, she was able to return them.
It’s time for a good education.”
"I also know this little girl, she often sells flowers in Fearless City.
She and her grandfather depend on each other, and she doesn’t look like she’s capable of stealing!”
"Who knows, I heard that her grandfather was ill, so she had to do it as a last resort."
………
Hearing everyone's discussion, Xu Zimo subconsciously thought of the little girl who sold him flowers in the inn just now.
He squeezed into the crowd and looked at the situation inside.
Directly in front is a pharmacy, with the four characters "Jishitang" written on the dark black plaque.
And at the center of the crowd, there was a little girl lying on the ground.
Next to them were the shopkeeper and two clerks from the pharmacy.
"Little girl, I see that you are young, and I don't want to argue with you too much."
The shopkeeper said coldly.
"Hand over the spirit stone and I'll let you go."
"You are lying, this spiritual stone is obviously mine," the little girl said aggrievedly as she tried her best to protect the spiritual stone in her arms.
"lie?
Well, tell me, where did your spiritual stone come from?"
The waiter next to him looked at everyone present and shouted quickly.
"Everyone please comment on me. The spiritual stone in my bag just now disappeared.
The spiritual stone was still there before I gave her medicine, but when she came into our medicine shop.
Pretending to be in a hurry, he bumped into me, and then my spirit stone disappeared.
If she hadn't stolen it, where else could the spirit stone go?"
"This spiritual stone was sold to me by an older brother. I didn't take your spiritual stone," the little girl explained.
A passer-by shook his head and said, "Little girl, you don't even know how to lie.
Whoever buys your useless flowers needs to use spiritual stones to buy them.
Return the spiritual stone to others quickly!"
Hearing the man's words, Xu Zimo shook his head slightly.
Walked out from the crowd.
He came to the little girl's side and helped her up.
"Big brother," seeing Xu Zimo's arrival, the little girl's eyes lit up and she was about to explain.
But Xu Zimo shook his head and stopped him.
"Is there something wrong with this young master?" The shopkeeper next to him looked at Xu Zimo and asked tentatively.
"I gave her this spiritual stone," Xu Zimo replied calmly.
"What? Do you have any opinions?"
The shopkeeper was slightly startled, obviously not expecting Xu Zimo to say that.
He smiled and said, "Young Master, please stop joking.
There is no need to do this if you want to excuse her."
Xu Zimo turned his head and ignored the shopkeeper, and said to the little girl.
"Okay, let's go back. I want to see who dares to say no."
The little girl paused slightly, then walked to the side.
The waiter on the side had quick eyes and quick hands, and stepped over to catch the little girl.
But a dazzling sword light burst out from the space.
His arms were cut off directly.
"You want to blackmail my spirit stone, do you really think I have no temper?" Xu Zimo said coldly.
The guy fell to the ground and screamed in pain.
The shopkeeper next to him had a slight cold sweat on his forehead.
The people around him took a few steps back.
At this moment, a burst of loud footsteps was heard from the side.
A group of people in black uniforms trotted over from a distance.
"What's going on?" The leader of this group of people is a murderer of a clan.
His eyes were as dark as an eagle's, and his nose was hooked.
Seeing the arrival of the leader, the shopkeeper next to him brightened up.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Master Zesong, someone is causing trouble in our Jishi Hall.
Stealing things and cutting off both of my man's arms."
The man named Ze Song frowned slightly and looked at the situation in front of him.
Finally, his eyes were set on Xu Zimo.
Said: "Is everything he said true?"
Before Xu Zimo could speak, the little girl next to him quickly explained.
"They are lying, they want to frame me and rob me of my spiritual stone.
This big brother is the one who helped me."
Lu Zesong turned his head, glanced at the little girl, was slightly stunned, and said: "So it's you!"
"So adults still remember me," the little girl nodded quickly.
"Okay, let's end this matter," Lu Zesong finally waved his hand.
Seeing that the shopkeeper wanted to speak, his eyes were sharp.
There seems to be murderous intent!
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he was momentarily speechless.
"Remember to come to the City Lord's Mansion on time," Lu Zesong said while looking at the little girl.
Then he left with all his men in black uniforms.
"Thank you, big brother," after everyone left, the little girl quickly thanked Xu Zimo.
"What is your relationship with that person just now?" Xu Zimo asked curiously.
Logically speaking, if this little girl had known Lu Zesong just now, she wouldn't have had such a miserable life in this Fearless City!
The little girl hesitated for a moment and finally whispered.
"Originally I wanted to keep it a secret.
But I know that big brother is a good person, if big brother wants to know.
Go to my house and I will tell you secretly."
Seeing the little girl's nervous look, Xu Zimo couldn't help but smile.
There was nothing to do in Fearless City anyway, so Xu Zimo finally agreed.
…………
The little girl lives in an old hut in the south of the city.
All the houses in this area are very dilapidated.
It seems to be a slum area.
Xu Zimo walked into the house and saw a skinny old man lying on the bed.
The old man was lying quietly on the bed, looking like he was seriously ill.
