The Dragon from Hell

"Sister Liu, should we hurry up and catch up with Master Qin and the others?" Ah Shun was still a little scared.

He was still young, and had been in Penglai Pavilion and the Ghost Market since he was born.

Although he was also yearning for the outside world, he was more afraid in Anle City.

After all, it was not only the citizens who were traveling today, but also the Imperial Master's Mansion and the night watchmen.

If they accidentally exposed something, they might die or be sent back to the Ghost Market.

Ah Liu glanced at the pedestrians around, took his hand and comforted him: "Don't worry, we have the spices given by Mr. Qin to cover our breath, even the night watchman can't find out that we are mermaids."

"It snowed today, and there are many people wearing hats outside, so no one will find us."

"As for Mr. Qin... he and Yujing have something to do, so we'd better not disturb them."

"So, the city lord's wife is going out to participate in the sacrifice today, so we will go to see the sacrifice and come back, and we won't go to the lantern festival later."

Ah Liu glanced at the current time. Because it was snowing and there was no sun today, it was difficult to judge when the sacrifice would start.

She had never seen a sacrifice before, nor had she seen the rumored beautiful city lord's wife.

Thinking of this, Ah Liu's mood suddenly became excited.

She breathed hard in the cold air in the city. For the first time, she felt that the air in this Anle City that brought her endless nightmares was sweet today.

Everything around her made her feel cheerful, as if a small sunflower had bloomed in the softest part of her heart.

How many years had she not experienced this?

Forgot.

The happiness of seven hundred years ago was too long ago, and now it has become old, and it smells damp and rotten when she wants to recall it again.

Only this dry, bright, and warm happiness in front of her made her really feel why so many people yearn for freedom.

Unconsciously, even her steps became lighter.

Perhaps it was because he felt her happiness that Ah Shun, who was walking beside her, was relieved of his original tension.

But soon Ah Liu discovered a problem: they didn't know where the sacrifice was held, and they didn't even know where the main road was!

Although they, the slaves, would be released as an exception during the Anle Festival in the past.

But at that time, Anle City was silent at night, and only the slaves could go out.

There were no ordinary people on the street, let alone a dazzling array of small stalls and shops, which was completely different from Anle City at night.

So now, looking at the dazzlingly decorated streets, the two of them were a little helpless.

"Sister?"

At this moment, a childish voice came from behind A Liu, and a hand grabbed her skirt.

A Liu was startled, and the moment she turned back, she almost opened her nightmare.

Fortunately, when she turned back, she met a pair of clear eyes - it turned out to be the two little girls that day.

The appearance of the two of them made A Liu's originally excited mood suddenly become messy, and she didn't know what to do.

She didn't forget that the two little girls were there when the accident happened that day, and they almost witnessed the scene with their own eyes...

A Liu was a little at a loss for a while, she didn't know whether she should run away at this time.

Obviously, many people saw her embarrassment that day, but these two little girls made her feel like running away.

However, the little girl suddenly smiled and said, "It's really you! Sister, I didn't recognize it wrong!"

The last word "sister" she called was not A Liu, but the seven or eight-year-old girl behind her.

When they first met that day, the little girl was very wary of her.

Although it is almost the same now, after looking at her for a while, the little girl actually came over and said, "Sister, are you okay?"

A Liu was stunned.

The little girl should be asking about what happened that day. Her fingertips trembled and she didn't know how to respond.

Will she be humiliated?

But the little girl's eyes on her tender face were not impure: "Sister, those are bad people. Don't worry, there are many people on the street today, and there won't be bad people."

"What did you say?" A Liu didn't react for a while. She felt like something was about to explode in her mind.

"Sister, thank you for wanting to buy us candied haws that day. But my parents said that we can't ask for other people's things casually." The little girl didn't understand why A Liu was silent, and thought that her behavior that day hurt her.

"Sister, you were injured that day, you should be fine now, right?" The little girl said: "My parents said that people who do wrong should be punished. Sister, you are a good person."

The little girlThe child seemed to have no idea how to explain to A-Liu, but it was not until now that A-Liu realized that this seven or eight-year-old girl was actually trying to comfort her.

That day, she did not let her sister take A-Liu's things, not because she was a mermaid, but simply because she could not take things from strangers. If it was someone else, they would treat it the same way.

And when they saw A-Liu being humiliated that day, they did not feel that she was despised, nor did they feel that she deserved it, but felt that those who hurt A-Liu were bad people.

So in this world, it is not only Mr. Qin who thinks so?

"Sister A-Liu, do you know these two little girls?"

A Shun did not know what had happened before, nor did he know why these two little girls appeared here.

But seeing that A-Liu actually knew ordinary girls outside, he was a little surprised: "Sister A-Liu, why don't you ask them where they are offering sacrifices?"

A-Liu came back to her senses and reacted: Yes, why not just ask the people in the city?

Ah Liu squatted down and kept level with the two little girls: "Thank you, sister is fine now."

The two little girls looked at her with a pair of innocent big eyes, without responding.

"How about this, you tell me where the sacrifice is held today, and I will buy you a string of candied haws."

"I have money on me, ordinary money, you can buy it yourself, I won't hurt you."

"Okay?"

The little girl of four or five years old was obviously moved, but she subconsciously looked at her sister before she opened her mouth.

The older girl of seven or eight years old hesitated for a moment this time and nodded obediently: "I don't want it, can I give my sister two strings?"

Ah Liu smiled and touched their heads: "You can buy as many as you want."

Before going out this time, Qin Feng specially left them some silver money.

It was not spiritual stones, but copper coins used by ordinary people, which could come in handy now.
