Chapter 691 A Fateful Encounter

Huo Shui snapped back to his senses, concealed the hatred in his eyes unnaturally, and said with a dry smile:

"No... ah, there is a honey smoothie seller in front, can my sister buy it for us?"

Huo Shui pointed to the small stall not far ahead, and the meaning of changing the subject was self-evident.

Knowing that she didn't want to say it, Ye Lizhi didn't force it, anyway, when she wanted to say it, she would definitely tell herself, why rush at this moment?
Then she followed her finger to look, and sure enough, she saw someone pouring honey and red bean paste on the shaved ice not far ahead, and in a blink of an eye, they made a mouth-watering ice food.

The alluring color and the icy sweet fragrance from the wind make people move their index fingers. There are already many people waiting to buy in front of the stall, and most of them are noisy children.

Without exception, Narcissus, a veritable child, began to swallow and salivate violently.

"Okay... let's go and have a look."

Ye Lizhi neatly untied the money bag from his waist, and just as he opened it to find a few copper coins, he felt a gust of wind flash past his eyes, and then... his hands were empty.

Thief?

Huo Shui was the first to react, and immediately jumped up to catch up.

However, the thief is a habitual thief in this area, his figure is as nimble as a fish that has fallen into the water, and he disappeared among the crowd in a few blinks of an eye.

"Damn it!" Huo Shui cursed inwardly, his eyes still searching left and right.

I was in a hurry, but suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd, and then, a scream rose into the sky!

Huo Shui was startled, and rushed over immediately - to watch the excitement.

At the commotion of the crowd, a short and thin man dressed as a commoner was being grabbed by his arms and cut behind him, and he was firmly pressed to the ground.

The short and thin man was still holding a jade pendant that couldn't be put away. The jade pendant was green all over, with a golden tassel hanging from it.

"Wang, are you okay?" The man holding the short and thin man asked the man behind him.

Not to mention the man's strange clothes and strange hairstyle, the wolf fur braided in his hair swayed in the wind, and his deep-lined face was extraordinarily tough and charming.

He responded in Da Yan's not-so-fluent words: "It's all right. Kill me."

"Yes!"

"and many more!"

Huo Shui finally recognized that the short and thin man who was pinned down on the ground was the guy who just stole her sister's purse, jumped forward immediately, and started rummaging on him without saying a word.

"Hey you……"

The man's subordinates thought she was here to stop him from killing people, so they wanted to block her, but Huo Shui nimbly dodged her, and then rushed forward, groped the short and thin man's chest for a while, and took out an embroidered my purse.

She held the money bag and waved it towards the man's hand, saying, "Mine!"

The man's hands were taken aback, and he lowered his head to look at the short and thin man, his eyes filled with undisguised disgust.

"Thief, freeloader, damn it!"

He raised the dagger in his hand, aimed at the back of the short and thin man's neck, and was about to stab it hard.

The short and thin man immediately let out a scream like a pig being killed.

"Oh, wait," Huo Shui raised his saber to block the dagger that was about to fall from the man's hand, and said:

"Although I also hate thieves, but it's just stealing people's things, and they didn't seek wealth or death. Why don't you... chop off one of his fingers as a warning."

The man's hands paused, raised his head, and squinted at her.

There was a strange aura about him, but just looking at her quietly like this made Huo Shui inexplicably shudder as if he was being stared at by a wild beast.

"Uh...haha, that...killing people is a bit cruel, and besides, killing people indiscriminately is a violation of Dayan's regulations, and they will be arrested and interrogated by the government. You don't want to involve yourself in this kind of person. Right, right?"

She quietly took two or three steps back, laughing and looking for the best escape route.

Having been homeless for so many years, she has no other skills, but the ability to observe words and demeanor is top-notch, but ordinary people can tell who can be messed with and who can't be messed with as long as they are looked at by her.

Obviously, the two people in front of them belonged to the latter.

I don't know which word in her words touched the other party. After thinking for a while, the man's men finally followed her suggestion, first snatched the valuable jade pendant from the short and thin man's hand, and then raised the knife and dropped it cleanly. He cut off all five fingers of the man.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The crowd of onlookers let out a burst of exclamation. Seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately dispersed.

Huo Shui secretly wiped his cold sweat for him, grabbed Ye Lizhi's purse tightly, turned around and wanted to leave.

But Ye Lizhi had already brought Narcissus over.

"Have you found the purse?"

Ye Lizhi saw the money bag in her hand at a glance, and immediately raised his brows and eyes happily, and burst into a smile as bright as a spring flower.

However, after seeing the tragic situation of the people behind Huo Shui, the smile immediately changed to doubt and worry: "Who is he? What's wrong?"

"It's okay," Huo Shui didn't want to provoke those unknown people anymore, he pushed Ye Lizhi to go elsewhere, and said perfunctorily:
"The thief stole other people's things again, and was beaten up by others. I took the opportunity to get our things back. Let's go, let's go buy delicious food."

"Oh……"

Ye Lizhi was pushed and shoved by her, so she could only walk back with her strength.

Behind them came a man's low voice at a very inappropriate time:

"Hold on."

Huo Shui quickened his pace unconsciously.

But at the next moment, with a flash in front of his eyes, the man's subordinates fluttered and landed in front of Ye Lizhi, firmly blocking their way.

"Hey, you! What are you doing! Don't block the way!" Huo Shui immediately jumped in front of Ye Lizhi, with the horizontal sword in front, and put on a defensive posture.

The man's subordinates did not speak, but confronted her without giving in.

As soon as Huo Shui left, there was space behind Ye Lizhi.

The foreign man stepped forward and whispered word by word behind Ye Lizhi:

"Ye. Li. Branch."

Ye Lizhi was taken aback, and suddenly turned to look at him.

Narcissus also tried her best to raise her head, and looked at the tall man standing in front of Sister Ye.

Ye Lizhi frowned and sized up the other party, and after confirming that he had never seen this face either in reality or in a dream, he couldn't help but asked suspiciously and warily:

"you know me?"

The man nodded firmly, and stared at her with strange-colored pupils without blinking. They were as beautiful as jewels, but at the same time they shone with a hard and sharp edge that could not be ignored.

Under the scorching sun, those thick and somewhat excessive eyelashes cast a circle of shadows under his eyes.
