Chapter 43

"monster!"

"Kill the monster!"

"Kill the monster!"

The ragged people gathered towards Lin Qingyue and the young man little by little with angry expressions. Compared with the cowering young man behind her, Lin Qingyue felt that the crowd in front of them who kept shouting "monster" and took other people's lives in the name of justice looked like are real monsters.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Linze shouted out his throat to tell Lin Qingyue to leave quickly.

But Lin Qingyue didn't even take half a step away.

She stood in front of the boy, her thin and small body was protecting him like an unshakable mountain at this moment.

The young man raised his head slightly, the dazzling sunlight tilted down from the top of Lin Qingyue's head like a god.

The gentle gaze in the backlight was deeply imprinted on the young man's heart, engraved into the soul.

Lin Qingyue's gaze was firm, and with her own strength, she overwhelmed a group of people opposite her in terms of momentum.

Under her gaze, everyone gradually felt like they were on their backs, and the steps approaching Lin Qingyue became smaller and smaller.As the crowd gradually stopped, Lin Qingyue let out a sigh of relief in her heart.

Feeling cowardly in his heart, he pretended to be calm and said on his face, "Who is this young man? Why do you call him a monster?"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the person beside them blankly. For them, it was enough for them to know that the other person was a monster.

Some people don't even know why the boy is called a monster.

Human beings live in groups, which makes conformity a bad instinct of people.

Most people follow the crowd blindly, give up independent thinking, and finally become puppets dominated by others.

"Does it matter who he is! All I need to know is that he is a monster!"

A stone was thrown from the side, Lin Qingyue didn't dodge, let the stone hit her knee.

Lin Qingyue bent her knees, shook her body for a while, and then stood upright in front of the boy again.

The crowd gasped and looked at Lin Qingyue with puzzlement and surprise.

They couldn't understand at all why such a young man in fine clothes would block stones for a monster.

Facing everyone's questioning eyes, Lin Qingyue stared at them firmly.

"He is not a monster! He is a living person! He has blood and tears, can feel fear, can feel pain, why do you say he is not human!"

The sonorous words are resounding.

The originally noisy crowd suddenly became extremely quiet. Lin Qingyue felt extremely disgusted when she saw these people who tried to hide their heads in the ground like ostriches whenever they encountered a problem.

"The dealer at the door told me that people with copper rings on their legs can be traded. I'll buy this young man. Let's make a price."

The boy was dressed in ragged clothes, his trousers were already in tatters, and the copper rings were tightly bound on the boy's ankles, emitting a chilly light under the sunlight.

Lin Qingyue felt distressed as she looked at it, fearing that the copper ring would affect the boy's physical development.

Hearing that Lin Qingyue was going to buy the young man, there was another commotion in the crowd. Someone yelled, and soon a drunken man was pushed forward by the crowd.

As soon as the man approached Lin Qingyue, the smell of alcohol made her brain 'hum'.

As the man approached, the body of the young man crouching behind Lin Qingyue tensed up quickly. He curled up in Lin Qingyue's shadow, curled up into a ball, turned his back to everyone like a hedgehog ready to fight at any time, sacrificed the last The rigid back protects the soft interior.

This instinctive reaction and the scars under the torn fabric on the boy's back all revealed a fact to Lin Qingyue.

This boy must have been beaten by this alcoholic man all year round to form this habit over time.

The man looked flatteringly at Lin Qingyue, who was clearly looking unkind, and said with a smile, "I heard that the young master wants to buy this kid, right?"

Lin Qingyue looked at the other party with a solemn expression and said, "Yes, I want to buy him, you can make a price."

The man was taken aback for a moment, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

"It's his luck that the young master wants to buy this kid, but it's a pity. This kid was ordered two days ago. You have seen it, young master. This kid is a rare commodity. It may be useless to put those blue eyes elsewhere. , but it is a hot item in the elephant house, and the boss who bought him is waiting to make a fortune from him!"

Lin Qingyue's ability to know people has also improved a lot after being 'in collusion with Xiao Linze' for so long.

She could tell at a glance that the alcoholic had clearly seen that she really wanted to buy the young man, so as to drive up the price. The other buyer in his mouth was probably fabricated by him.

Lin Qingyue is the best at this kind of bargaining, but the boy is not a thing or a commodity, but a real person.

She didn't want to talk to another person about how much he was worth in front of the boy.

Lin Qingyue took off the jade pendant from her waist and threw it directly to the drunkard.

"You can set the price whatever you want. If you take this jade pendant to Beautyland, someone will give you the money."

As soon as he heard the name of Meirenbang, greedy eyes flashed in the drunkard's eyes. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Young master is a straightforward person, and I don't have any ink marks. The price is 100 taels, how about it?"

Before the man finished speaking, the group of onlookers behind him exploded first.

Lin Qingyue knew very well that the man was planning to trick her, and she didn't want to expose his intentions.

"Okay, 100 taels is 100 taels, and I will take them away."

The drunkard froze on the spot, and when he came to his senses, Lin Qingyue had already left the crowd with the boy.

After the two got into the carriage smoothly, Lin Qingyue checked the brass ring on the boy's ankle.

"Fortunately, there is still some distance between the copper ring and the ankle. I will take you to remove the copper ring now, okay?"

With a smile on the corner of Lin Qingyue's mouth, she stretched out her hand and brushed aside the hair on the young man's forehead, revealing the deep blue eyes underneath.

"You don't need to deliberately block it in the future, your eyes are very beautiful, the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen in this world.

The young man stared blankly at Lin Qingyue's eyes, the word 'sincerity' was written in those clear eyes.

When the boy realized that Lin Qingyue really thought his eyes were beautiful, he couldn't help crying.

Seeing the young man crying, Lin Qingyue panicked completely, and frantically wiped away the tears from the young man's face with her sleeve, coaxing softly while wiping: "Don't cry, did I say something wrong to offend you?" I'm happy, why don't you tell me, can't I change it?"

The young man looked at Lin Qingyue's stained sleeves with tearful eyes, and said intermittently, "Sister...sleeves... are dirty."

Lin Qingyue looked at her smudged sleeves and smiled indifferently.

"It's okay, go back and wash it and it will be clean."

Anyway, the sleeves were also dirty, so Lin Qingyue simply wiped the boy's gray chubby face clean with her sleeves.

The dirty face was wiped by the sleeves, revealing the white and tender skin underneath.

Looking at the young man with fair skin and deep eye sockets in front of her, Lin Qingyue's fingertips trembled slightly with excitement.

"What kind of shit luck did I have, the protagonist's aura has manifested? Let me pick up a handsome guy just by picking it up?"

Not only does the young man have a pair of blue eyes that are different from those of the Central Plains people, but even his facial features are more three-dimensional than the Central Plains people.

Of course, Lin Qingyue would not think that the young man is of mixed Chinese and foreign race. According to her speculation, the young man is most likely a foreigner. The pupils of the foreigner who performed at the Lantern Festival a few days ago were not pure black, but they did not have the pupils of the young man. The pupil color is so obvious.
