Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 165
The capital city has always been lively, even in the cold winter, even at night, the long street is still full of people, hawking and playing.

The shopkeepers carrying the burden shuttled among the crowd, selling their goods to the guests from time to time, and the money they exchanged was just used to buy new year's goods.

After a whole year of hard work, at the end of the year, it is time to prepare some new clothes for the whole family and bring them some good food.

Red lanterns are gradually hung up in the streets and alleys, dispelling the chill of winter nights and illuminating the way back home late.

But there are always places where the light does not reach.

Xiao Rongxi returned to the teahouse and ordered a pot of hot tea to warm up.

When the fingers that were stiff and sore from the wind were sticking to the warm cup, they finally recovered and gradually warmed up.

He picked up the tea and put it to his lips. Just as he was appreciating it, he suddenly heard the timid voice of a child in the deep alley outside the window, and his footsteps were messy.

Someone was talking under his breath, "Hey, follow Uncle, there are sweets to eat!"

A short 40-year-old man, holding a malt candy in his hand, gradually approached the little boy who was left alone.

His back is slightly bent, his eyebrows are raised, and the light from the distant eaves is reflected in his triangular eyes, which looks a bit weird.

It's scary when you don't smile, and it's even scarier when you grin.

But he insisted on putting on a good-natured look, and hooked his hands at the little boy, "Your parents aren't around, are you? Don't worry, Uncle is not a bad person, they asked me to find you and send you home. "

"Come on, come with Uncle, don't make parents wait."

The words seduced every step of the way, but the little boy was not fooled, and stepped back with short legs, "My parents are coming soon, so I don't need you to see them off! Don't come here, I will call someone if I come again!"

There were so many people just now, he and his parents got separated due to the collision, and they were squeezed into this alley unknowingly.

Mother said that there will be no pies in the sky, only traps, and you must never eat what strangers give you, and you must not follow them, otherwise you will never see your parents again.

The short man sneered, "The milk doll is quite clever, you should call one to try and see if someone will come to rescue you!"

This alley is deep and there are not many people passing by during the day, let alone at night.

Who would be willing to drill into the black light?

Seeing that the coaxing was unsuccessful, he immediately put the candy into his arms, quickly approached the little boy, and stretched out his hand to grab him.

Although the little boy was not fooled, he was only six years old and his teeth hadn't been fully replaced yet. This was the first time he encountered such a situation, his legs became weak from fear, and he couldn't run fast at all.

Before he ran ten meters, he was caught by a man.

He covered the opponent's mouth, met the little boy's frightened but good-looking eyes, and smiled maliciously, "The big family likes a juicy child like you the most, it's so pleasing to the eye."

I was going out to try my luck tonight, but I didn't expect to meet a good one.

"Tsk tsk," he walked into the alley while covering the boy's mouth, "don't worry, when you enter the mansion, you will be happy to serve the nobles, and you can eat and dress well every day..."

The voice gradually weakened as the footsteps went away, Xiao Rongxi immediately signaled Jinlin to follow.

But someone was one step ahead of him.

The short man's expression changed when he saw the figure jumping down from the high wall suddenly, and he stopped in his tracks.

The other party was slender and tall, his clothes fluttered in the wind, against the light, he couldn't see his face clearly, but it made people feel extremely oppressed.

The short man hugged the little boy with one hand, took out a knife from his waist with the other hand, swallowed his saliva, and stared at the person in front of him, "Who are you, don't meddle in your own business!"
