Chapter 26
“Qianxun, what are you looking at?” Gao Yan shouted at Chu Qianxun before leaving.
“Eh, nothing.”
Chu Qianxun couldn’t help but look back a few times. The sand scattered on the ground had disappeared, and she wanted to see the person in her heart.
But there was only a quiet and dark forest behind her, with a stack of canopies. She looked back but was unable to see the figure.
The war between the high-level saints outside the city didn’t seem to have any impact on the life of the bottom-level residents in the spring city.
Ye Peitian’s shoes stepped on the mud in the street and stopped.
The noisy voices and crowded streets made him a little uneasy. He pulled the black mask on his face, not showing whether the emotions surging in his heart were irritable or fearful.
He walked into the crowd. Fresh human bodies brushed past him, making his breath a little faster.
The smell there was very cloudy.
A scent mixed with buns, the smell of coal stove, and the smell of sweat from the human body were scattered in the air.
The great demon king who had been away from human life for a long time walked step by step, feeling that he also slowly recovered a little bit of lively breath.
He seemed to have returned to many years ago. His life wasn’t so good at that time, with his father’s indifference, his stepmother’s rejection, and his brother’s targeting him often, causing him pain. But at that time, he often squatted on the street like this, listening to such a voice, smelling this smell.
At that time, the demons had not yet come, there were no demons, and the humans around were still like humans. They wouldn’t drag him into the dark abyss like a demon, and his hands weren’t stained with blood.
Ye Peitian avoided the crowded streets and walked into the sparsely populated alleys. He walked a long way, and unconsciously came to the downstairs of the tube building.
He looked up at one of the windows from afar.
There were a few pots of green plants in the window, and a red tomato vaguely revealing a lovely red behind the green leaves.
He stood there for a long time and the window was suddenly pushed open,
Ye Peitian felt his heart beating,
The girl protruded half of her body, nibbled the half piece of brown black cake in one hand, and watered the flowers in the other. Her shoulder-length hair had just been washed, wet behind her ears, and her face was washed clean, with a breath different from normal days.
Chu Qianxun happily touched the red tomatoes.
They ripened again. She could eat it today.
At that moment, she perceptively noticed something, raised her head and glanced down. Under a green sycamore tree in the distance, a breeze rolled through a strand of yellow sand but there was no one there.
Was it an illusion?
Why was she suspicious recently?
Chu Qianxun smiled.
The most messy neighborhood in Spring City was called Heijie.
In this criss-crossing block, a river ran through a town.It was called a river but it was actually only slightly wider than the ditch. This inland river traversed from the base with no planned infrastructure to the west to east, and it swept through the various waste discarded upstream to the black street downstream. The water surface was so dark that it was too dirty to see.
Therefore, the neighborhood in this circle was named Heijie with this Heihe River. (Hei: black)
A tattered wooden chair floated up and down on the water, drifting down slowly. A black crow stopped on the back of the chair, turned his eyes for a long while, made an unpleasant cry, then opened his wings and fluttered away.
