The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 459
Rainwater collected on the ground, and blades of grass, dust and broken garbage floated in muddy puddles.

Chen Xing tentatively stepped on the roadside outside the store, and the muddy water almost covered the uppers of his shoes.

It doesn't matter if it rains heavily in summer.

In winter, when the shoes on the feet get wet and the temperature is low, [-]% of the ten toes will be frostbitten.

He pretended not to hear the girl's urging to go on the road, thinking to himself: It's raining time to find someone.Taking shelter from the rain before leaving is also a job of sharpening a knife and chopping firewood by mistake.

Looking at the two umbrellas handed to him, Qilan felt a sense of pressure.

It was all due to the sudden change in the weather, which affected her search for Qijiang and exacerbated her anxiety.

"Sister Xiaojin, please take care of me. Let's go now."

He readily took two umbrellas from her with both hands, stuffed one into the hand of his companion, and took out money from his pocket:

"We happen to be short of umbrellas in our house, please accept them."

"Find your brother first."

Xiao Jin waved his hand lightly, opened the umbrella with a swish, and walked straight across the water.

Chen Xing looked at the water under her feet in disbelief,

"The legendary lightness kung fu is really powerful, and the edges of the shoes don't get wet."

Qilan on the side also opened the umbrella, lifted it above his head, stepped into the water without hesitation, and strode forward.

"If the shoes are wet, they should be wet. At worst, they should be dried by the fire at night. It would be really terrible to lose the trust of friends."

He muttered in a low voice, hastily and helplessly chased after them.

This street is not too long, but it was hard to walk after catching up with the rain.

Xiao Jin was practicing lightness, and a pair of embroidered boots quickly touched the water and moved forward.

She walked ahead alone, not noticing that the two teenagers were trekking hard.

After taking a few steps, Chen Xing sucked up the dirty water and dragged his feet heavily.

He frowned, feeling sorry for the "thousand-layer bottom" cloth shoes that his mother took out stitch by stitch.

The cloth shoes on the soles of Qilan's feet were also soaked in water and deformed.

The companion didn't have his good temper, and complained angrily:
"Miss Jin is as beautiful as a fairy, why is her heart so hard? She knows how to touch water even after wearing boots. Pity the two of us. What can we do if we suffer from joint pain and old cold legs?"

These words from the heart are strangely arousing sympathy.

Qilan stopped, looked around, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes:
"Brother Chen, don't be sad. There is a carriage parked on the left side of the road, which seems to be waiting for passengers. I'll go over and ask. As long as you can take the carriage, I will never wrong your feet!"

After finishing speaking, he was full of energy, gritted his teeth and ran over there.

Xiao Jin heard that no one was catching up after a long while, turned his head and saw Qi Lan running in another direction, and was furious.

When she got angry, she tended to hit hard, and while going to intercept him, she casually picked up a small stone from the side of the road and threw it, which instantly hit the boy on the shoulder.

"pain!"

Qilan covered the place where he was hit by the stone, panting, before he had time to explain to the girl who walked in front of him, he scolded all over his head and face:
"Second Young Master treats your younger brother very dearly. He gave you a lot of money and still protects him everywhere. Now that he is gone, he is so half-hearted about finding his own brother!"

"Miss Xiao Jin, I saw the carriage. Can we all ride together? Brother Chen's shoes are soaked in water, so he can't walk that far."

"The carriage? Where is it?"

The young man pointed his finger, and a half-new carriage stopped by the side of the road.

She stared at the curtain of the car body in confusion, "Why do I think there is something wrong with this car?"

"What's wrong?"

He thought, no matter how good-looking a woman is to be a killer, being suspicious must be an occupational disease.

"The driver is just an old man with gray hair. What's the problem?"

"Xiao Lan, take a close look at that horse, especially when it raises its hooves."

After her pointing, the young man took a closer look at the horse's hoof, and gasped in surprise.

"The mark on this horse's hoof is exactly the same as the two police horses we just brought along."

"I know that your feet are uncomfortable when you are walking in cold water," Xiao Jin sneered, "but going to the doctor in a hurry is equivalent to death."

They were talking in a low voice at a distance of about twenty meters, and the carriage suddenly moved forward for a short distance and stopped in front of an inn near a busy city.

At this time, two figures appeared at the door of the inn.

Two young women, one tall and one short, were both dressed in black, but they could still tell the difference in status between them.

The tall woman wore a long black cloak, a tight-fitting satin dress embroidered with many wavy patterns, and a beautifully carved gold necklace around her neck.

Her sharp eyes were like cold frost and snow, and she walked towards the old man in front of the carriage expressionlessly.

A short woman followed behind, wearing a slightly bulky black cloth and not wearing jewelry.It's just that a jade hairpin is inserted in the bun.

Xiaojin stared at the two of them for a while, and signaled Qilan not to go forward.

"Let's take another path. The one who takes the lead is Long Yun, the oldest member of the assassin group. I haven't dared to fight against him after six years."

Qilan clenched his fists, a little unwilling, "The three of us, if we hit the two of them, can we take the carriage?"

"Xiao Lan, you can't be careless. Long Yun has always been in charge of training novices and dealing with traitors. She appears in this place in broad daylight. I'm worried that the conspiracy of the third wife will intensify."

"But Brother Chen doesn't have waterproof shoes. If he walks so far in cold water, he will get sick."

"Is the shoe store closed? I'll give each of you a new pair."

She grabbed his collar, pushed the boy forward, and walked quickly to a shoe store on the street.

This store is not small, and there are many shoes. Apart from being expensive, there is nothing wrong with it.

Chen Xing waited for the two of them in the cold water, trembling all over, and secretly scolded the woman countless times.

Seeing Xiao Jin come back with new leather boots in both hands, urging him to change them quickly, he felt a little uncomfortable.

He scolded her just now, would he be ashamed to wear the new shoes given by him?

Qilan thanked him, put on his boots, and seeing that he was still not moving, bent down to put them on for him.

Hey, in this world, there are really women with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart.

Helplessly, Chen Xing scratched his head, and followed the two of them into the alley again, making detours and rushing to the road leading to Gu's mansion.

In the depths of the dark alley, Qilan never thought that the person they wanted to save but failed to save was hidden in a certain house they passed by in a hurry.

Before dawn, someone entered the cellar ahead of others.

The drowsy Zhang Wenxuan raised his face when he heard a slight knock on the door.

From the small opening above the head, a beam of weak light cast down.

"who is it?"

His voice was already hoarse, his glasses were broken, and he couldn't see clearly.

"Doctor Zhang, it really is you."

The other party's voice was very low, his tinnitus was severe, and he could not hear clearly when he tilted his head. He just pretended that he was here to see him off on the road, and continued to lie on the ground without moving.

When a person's heart is as dead as hell, there is nothing wrong with falling into the underworld, and it is the best policy to get rid of it as soon as possible.

However, the man didn't let him do what he wanted. He went down from the cave, put a long and dirty cloth bag on his head, and tied it tightly.

There is no light in front of my eyes.

In a daze, he was carried onto a hotel carriage carrying ingredients, with potatoes, radishes and Chinese cabbage piled all over his body.

The air in the car is not good, and I have a headache.Zhang Wenxuan lost consciousness not long after.

The carriage did not go in the direction of the hotel, but turned around at the main intersection and ran towards a secluded street
