It was late at night.
She walked for an unknown amount of time before she sat on a long wooden chair under a street lamp. Her eyes were glazed over as she stared at the stall selling supper not far away.
There were basically no cars passing by on this street. Strangely, there were no pedestrians either. Occasionally, when she met someone, she would just walk away in a hurry, as if she was deliberately avoiding something.
"Sigh, the business is ruined again today.”There was only one person in the stall. He sat on the chair and collapsed on the cutting board. He did not know how to describe his current mood.
The long walk and the cold autumn wind made her feel a little hungry.
Under the dim yellow light, she suddenly stood up and tiptoed toward the stall.
"Hello?" She walked over and greeted him softly.
"Ugh!" The stall owner jumped up and looked at the woman who was walking towards him enthusiastically. Suddenly, his head sank for a few seconds.
She placed her hands on the counter and looked up at the reference pictures of snacks hanging on it.
The stall owner looked at her from the corner of his eyes, then wiped the corner of his eyes with his hand and looked at her again. "Hey, why is it you?"
"Hmm?" She turned her gaze to the man. Seeing his appearance, she instantly remembered his identity.
Wasn't he the uncle who sold popsicles on the street yesterday? No, up close, he was clearly a young man who had just arrived, but he looked more experienced.
"Aren't you selling popsicles? " Little…" she asked simply. Although she wanted to be polite, she didn't know what to call him. This was the most awkward thing.
" Ah." The man scratched his head and quickly stood up to entertain the guests. Under the dim yellow streetlight, he looked at her carefully. She was very beautiful, and he was instantly mesmerized by her. "You mean popsicles, girl? I sell popsicles during the day and supper at night…"
"Don't you need to sleep?" She spoke with a gentle accent, causing the man to focus all his attention on her charming appearance. He did not notice that she had reached out and grabbed a raw meat skewer.
"Rest too. I don't often work night shifts.”
"Can you give me one for free?" She looked up at him.
The man blinked his eyes. He had wanted to have bad thoughts about her a second ago, but in the next second, he was afraid. Seeing that she was looking at him, his heart beat even faster.
She had a head of light purple shoulder-length hair, black and oily, very lush and free.
"What?"
"This thing." She raised the meat skewer and waved it in front of him, indicating that she was giving it to him.
"Two gold coins for one stick. I'm selling high-quality meat. Miss?"
"Oh, I don't have gold coins." she said.
"No gold coins? " But you can eat it too, hmm…Let me think…" The man pinched his chin with one hand and looked at her from top to bottom with a dry gaze. Finally, he swallowed his saliva.
"As long as you promise to accompany me…"
"Accompany you? Accompany you for what?" She was at a loss. Looking at the sly smile on the man's face, she tiptoed so that she could stand more comfortably.
"Just one night." The man chuckled.
She pressed her lips together and did not speak. She picked up the meat skewer in her hand and walked straight back.
"Hey! Wait, you haven't paid yet? No, this is daylight robbery!"
She walked forward without looking back.
"B * tch! Stop right there!" The man left the stall and chased after her.
She heard the person asking her to stop, so she could only turn around to look at her.
Whoosh--
In an instant, the man's entire body froze on the ground. His expression was stiff and his pupils were wide open. Looking at the woman in front of him eating the raw meat on the iron stick with relish, he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind behind him.
"Ghost, ghost, ghost ghost-ghost! Help! There's a ghost!"
In his panic, the man even lost a shoe. However, he did not bother to pick it up. He turned around and disappeared into the distance.
……
"..." She stuffed the meat on the iron skewer into her mouth and threw the iron skewer away. The iron stick fell to the ground and into the sewer under her feet.
"I'll pay you back when I have money." She turned around and left.
.
Take Wilberford. Stan Molinsay called. Darwin quickly took out a small notebook and wrote down the information he provided. He looked at the address he had written down and soon fell into deep thought.
"My friend, how are you doing in Nishisaino?”Darwin's hands were busy. He tapped the corner of the table with the end of his pen.
A voice came from the other end of the phone,"I'm fine! Friend."
When Wilberford said this, Darwin could only barely hear it because the sound of the wind was mixed in with the telephone. He knew that the West Sai State in the northwest defense line usually had strong winds at night.
"I saved a bottle for you."
"When I come back, let's have a good drink.”
"Alright." Darwin chuckled and hung up. He hurriedly put the notebook and pen in his pocket and accidentally dug out the photo.
Darwin didn't realize that the photo had fallen out. The reason was that he hadn't had the time to mend the hidden pocket of the shirt. In the end, he forgot about it. He looked at the crowd around him, then quietly reached out his fingers to grab two bottles of red wine from the table. He hurriedly got up and left the banquet hall.
Ta, ta.
The sound of her high heels clattering against the floor could be heard.
Joanna walked over unwillingly. She looked up and saw Darwin disappear into the crowd. He suddenly appeared at the door and pushed it open to leave.
She looked down and saw the woman's photo on the sofa. She was a little surprised, so she reached out to pick it up. The woman in the photo seemed to be his wife, but the photo looked old.
When Joanna saw this, her heart sank like a stone in the sea. She was completely disheartened by him.
.
On the street.
The three hooligans were drunk as they walked down the street. They held their hands and walked step by step.
"Burp, big brother, we're home in front, burp!”The thin man on the left had his head tilted to one side and his arms were open. He was so thin that a gust of wind could blow him into the atmosphere.
The person in the middle was a fat man. He was wearing a flowery shirt and was very strong. Fortunately, he was carrying the skinny little brother. His head swayed back and forth as if he was still dancing. "Alright, hehe-Burp!!!”
Big Brother belched and roared, and even Heaven Duke trembled. Those who didn't know better would have thought that the missiles of the northern valiant army had hit Casaro (Goziyi City)!
"Big brother!" The man on the rightmost side who was holding the fat man in the middle was tall and straight. He had one hand on his shoulder and the other holding an empty wine bottle. Other than him, who was not drunk, the two of them were so drunk that one was walking up to the sky and the other was drilling into the ground.
" Mm…Burp!!!!"
.
In a nearby building.
On the bed next to the window, the little boy woke up from his sleep. He rubbed his eyes and sat up straight. Then, he pushed his parents who were sleeping soundly beside him.
"Mommy, mommy, mommy, there's thunder in the sky.”
"Be good, baby." The woman stretched out an arm to hold the child and continued to sleep. Then, she patted his head and continued to sleep."That's your dad snoring."
The man slept quietly and did not hear anything.
.
"Go, go, go find me a girl!”The fat man punched the man away, and he almost fell to the ground.
The two of them were drunk and laughed. The man was very unhappy to see the two of them, but he suppressed the anger in his heart. So he held the empty bottle and turned around to walk forward.
"There are no women on this street. Besides, what time is it? I've had enough, hmph!" The man grumbled and threw the bottle into the trash can by the roadside. He put his hands into his pockets and turned around inadvertently. He actually saw a woman.
He widened his eyes and wiped the corner of his eyes in disbelief as he looked at it again. It was a woman. Her voluptuous figure and slender legs made his heart beat wildly.
He turned back to look at the two of them. The two of them were back to back, lying on the side of the road and snoring. If that was the case, wouldn't he…
Dozens of thoughts suddenly jumped into his mind, so he wanted to pick up the bottle that had just been thrown away. However, looking at the dirty trash can shell and the stench coming from inside, he decided to forget it. So he tiptoed and followed her stealthily…
.
She hummed an unknown tune and dug her hands into her pockets. The weather was hot, and she was walking alone on the street with her arms open.
Compared to the day, she preferred the night. When she was tired, she would sit on a bench by the roadside and continue walking the next day. She didn't know the direction, nor did she know who or where the person she was waiting for was.
These problems that gave her a headache the more she thought about them, she might as well not think about them. Therefore, the air was the only friend she could talk to when she was lonely, and the twinkling stars in the night sky were the only sustenance she had when she was so confused that she did not know how to move forward. However, the wind blew the air away, and the dark clouds covered the stars in the night sky, making her heart roll.
Suddenly, a man jumped out from behind her, grabbed her throat, and covered her mouth. She did not resist much, probably because she had not realized what was going on.
She was pulled back by the man, and the air was so quiet that she could hear the man's heavy breathing. Only then did she realize that the situation was not good. However, with the man holding her neck and covering her mouth, it was difficult for her to breathe again. The more she struggled, the tighter the man held her.
"Hehe, this girl is not bad!"
Whoosh--
When she heard this, she realized the danger of her situation. She felt that she couldn't breathe. Her palm reflexively grabbed the man's arm tightly, wanting to take it off.
The man quickly dragged her into a dark alley and was about to succeed.
She did not expect her to be so strong. She used her elbow to stab the man's stomach. The man cried out in pain, and his expression was filled with pain. Then, she took advantage of the man's few seconds of recovery to jump up and kick against the wall. She used the force of the wall to throw the man heavily to the ground. She jumped out of the air and landed behind the man's head in the blink of an eye.
She looked at the man under her feet, and without hesitation, she reached out from the vortex and grabbed the blood-red greatsword-the Blood-devouring Demonic Sword! Then, she placed the blade on the man's neck.
The man's back was burning. He hugged his stomach with his hands and lay on the ground in pain.
With the help of the red light emitted by the red greatsword, she could roughly distinguish the man's ugly face. "What do you want?" She spoke with a gentle accent and did not look angry at all.
Hearing the man's heavy breathing, her lips moved slightly.
"Don't kill me, please. I was just confused for a moment! Don't kill me, don't kill me…"
Looking at the man's pitiful appearance, his voice carried a hint of begging.
"If you are a man, you have to pay the price for your actions.”Her eyes were filled with anger, like the cold light of the quietly flowing river. She gripped the huge sword in her hand tightly and could not help but slash his neck into two.
Blood splattered onto the pitch-black wall. The man hugged his neck with both hands, his pupils wide open. In the last scene, he saw the woman put away her sword, put her hands into her pockets, and left the alley while humming an unknown tune.
……
(To be continued)
Originally, Chapter 22 would have described another male protagonist, Wilberford. Stamollindsey later changed the main storyline and the development of the female protagonist (including chapter 22, the female protagonist only appeared in five chapters, and there would be fewer in the future), so Wilberford would not have a chance to appear in the first 50 chapters.
