Chapter 1057: Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts
On a busy street.
The lights were brightly lit, like stars falling to the ground, illuminating the streets as bright as day.
However, there are still many homeless people in ragged clothes and hurried footsteps on the streets.
Lights can drive away the darkness, but they cannot drive away the homeless people who take to the streets to take advantage of the darkest night.
This is also the normal state that has long been accustomed to in every tribal city in the snowy plains after the polar night falls.
Xi Xing held Chen Dong's arm, and the two of them walked among the crowd.
From time to time, Xi Xing would drag Chen Dong into one store after another.
Chen Dong does not reject this.
Although the gap in his memory that opened made him aware of the situation in front of him, he knew that, at least for now, he could not show his disgust towards Xi Xing.
Even, from time to time, Chen Dong would deliberately pretend to smile and greet Xi Xing.
It's just that compared to before, Chen Dong's pandering today is a bit more hypocritical and reluctant.
Fortunately, Xi Xing didn't notice it either. She cheered and pulled Chen Dong through the crowd and into each shop.
For her, shopping is the most wonderful thing, which may also be the nature of every girl.
Within an hour, Chen Dong already had large and small bags in his hands.
"Xixing, are you taking me out to go shopping and relax, or are you taking me out to work as a coolie?"
Walking out of a clothing store again, Chen Dong glanced at the large and small bags in his hand and said to Xi Xing pretending to be aggrieved.
Xi Xing came back to her senses, felt shy for a moment, took Chen Dong's arm and said, "Okay, can I treat you to something delicious?"
"For the sake of your sincerity, I reluctantly agree."
Chen Dong pretended to be reluctant and nodded.
Immediately, Xi Xing pulled Chen Dong and started walking through the streets, looking around as if looking for something.
With such a focused look, even Chen Dong was a little curious.
But as an old man holding a candied haws on a stick came with a group of children, Xi Xingdeng's eyes lit up and he immediately went to greet him.
At this moment, Chen Dong suddenly stopped being curious.
He looked at Xi Xing in astonishment as he took two bunches of candied haws from the old man's hand. This thing... is delicious?
Even though Chen Dong had lost his memory, he still knew that the food sold on the street was really not delicious for Xi Xing's status.
"Well, this candied haws on a stick is the best delicacy in the snowy plains."
While Xixing was eating with satisfaction, he handed the candied haws to Chen Dong: "The reason why I know this is because an uncle from the region gave it to me when I was a child."
"Uncle in the domain?"
Chen Dong's eyes flickered for a moment, but he instantly suppressed the distracting thoughts rising in his heart.
He took the candied haws in Xixing's hand and took a bite. His mouth was full of sweetness and the slight sourness of hawthorn, which immediately filled his mouth wantonly.
“It tastes really good.”
Chen Dong grinned and asked Xixing: "Xixing, I have the face of a local, and I am incompatible with you. Can you tell me about things in the local area?"
"ha?"
Xi Xing was surprised for a moment, then shook his head: "There is nothing in the domain, there is nothing to say."
With that said, she came to Chen Dong's side again, holding Chen Dong's arm and walking towards another street: "Let's go to another street for shopping. There are all delicious food there. Whatever you want to eat, my wife will pay for it."
!”
Chen Dong's eyes condensed for a moment, but he felt a little helpless in his heart.
Before, he wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with Xi Xing's words, but now, with his memory restored, he could clearly hear the strong perfunctory tone in Xi Xing's words.
"She's afraid of me regaining my memory!"
Chen Dong thought in his mind, but soon his expression relaxed.
The two of them walked towards another street together.
Just because of the distance, Xi Xing quickly pulled Chen Dong into a street that was slightly dim and obviously quiet with few people.
"It's too far. If we go through this path, we can get much closer."
Chen Dong took a sullen look at the quiet street with few people, but hesitantly said: "Are you sure you want to walk on this kind of street? It's midnight now!"
"Oh, I know. Don't worry about the refugees. If something happens, the guards arranged by my father will take care of it."
Xi Xing shrugged: "Besides, with you here, what should I be afraid of?"
While talking, he was clinging to Chen Dong, giving people the feeling of a little bird clinging to him.
Chen Dong no longer hesitated. The reason for his hesitation was that he was worried that there would be refugees in such streets.
Those refugees will try their best to hide in dark and secluded alleys during the day, as if they are sneaky, and wait until night to go out on the streets in search of food to survive.
But usually, day and night are distinct, and the refugees do not have enough time or courage to move around.
As the polar night falls, the long period of darkness also increases their courage!
Under the law of survival of the jungle, night...is the best time to hunt!
This street is very quiet. As Chen Dong and Xi Xing walked forward, they could even hear their own footsteps.
From time to time, when passing by dark, damp, or even smelly alleys, you can clearly hear noises in the alleys, and even miserable wailing sounds.
The more courageous refugees would poke their heads out of the alleys and stare directly at Chen Dong and Xi Xing when they heard the noise on the streets from time to time.
When they saw Xi Xing's appearance, their eyes obviously changed.
This made Chen Dong feel very uncomfortable and had a bad premonition.
However, Xi Xing looked normal. As a Hun princess, she already knew better than anyone else what was going on in the place where she grew up.
However.
"ah!"
A shrill scream, like thunder, suddenly broke the silence of this street.
Chen Dong and Xi Xing's expressions changed greatly, and they raised their eyes to follow the sound.
In the alleyway in the distance, a series of embarrassed figures jumped out from them like mad dogs at this moment.
And because of this scream, the other refugees hiding in the darkness also jumped onto the street in panic at this moment.
The originally deserted streets were suddenly filled with dense figures.
Every figure was in ragged clothes, in a state of embarrassment, and exuded a fishy stench.
This scene is like a hundred ghosts walking at night.
Even Chen Dong and Xi Xing, who had been prepared for this, couldn't help but feel shuddering at this moment.
"Grab it!"
In the wind and snow, an angry roar suddenly exploded.
Immediately, the crowd of refugees rushing onto the street rushed towards Chen Dong and Xixing.
The noise suddenly exploded.
"Woman, I haven't seen a woman for a long time! That woman is mine!"
"Don't fight with me. That woman must be mine, and that man must be mine too!"
"They are rich, they must be rich. If you rob, I can live in the house and change my identity!"
…
Both Chen Dong and Xixing were stunned by the scene in front of them.
It was at this time.
Whoosh!
Amid the crowd of refugees, a strong roar of wind suddenly sounded.
A stone, like a meteor piercing the sky, whizzed directly towards the Xixing Gate.
Fast as lightning!
In the flash of lightning, Xi Xing's complexion changed drastically, his pupils suddenly tightened, and he even stopped breathing.
However.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of Xi Xing, blocking her sight.
Bang!
There was a muffled sound.
Chapter completed!
