"You are afraid of talking! Get out! Get behind me!"
One of the two was tall and strong, the other was skinny and short. The taller man waved the shorter man behind him, picked up the things around his waist and took a step closer. The bright light swayed around Xiaolan's body.
"Who are you? Why are you sneaking around the streets?"
"Brother, would you please turn off the flashlight first?..."
"Brother, she asked you to turn off the flashlight..."
"roll!"
The tall man roared, raised his flashlight and twisted it twice. The light was much weaker.
"Tell me, who are you?"
"Brother, I'm from out of town," Xiaolan suddenly remembered that she was still a child and could pretend to be pitiful, and her voice immediately started to scream, "I can't find my parents... what should I do..."
The tall man was stunned for a moment.
That's not what you said when you called me brother just now!
"What's on your shoulder?"
The man said coldly and used a flashlight to signal Xiaolan to take off the things on his shoulders.
Xiaolan reacted, quickly picked up the rabbit on her shoulders, held it in both hands and brought it to the man.
"It's my rabbit. If you like this big brother..."
Before he finished speaking, the man's expression changed.
"This...brother...this is not..."
"you you……"
Xiaolan realized something was wrong and quickly retracted her hand.
"Where...where did this come from?" The man stared at the rabbit, unable to speak smoothly.
"It's a meat rabbit raised by my family. I don't know if you believe it or not."
The man's eyes turned cold. When Xiaolan saw this, he instantly summoned his spiritual energy and prepared to fight.
Unexpectedly, instead of approaching, the man took a step back, took something out of his pocket, and pointed it at the sky.
"Whoosh!...pop!"
Golden-red fireworks exploded in mid-air.
"She stole the king's wishing bottle!" the man shouted, "at the intersection of Keller Street and Monina Square, next to the Flower Hall, the wishing bottle! Found! Thief! Found!"
After the man shouted, he took out the item from his waist. Only then did Xiaolan see clearly that it was actually a sword.
Xiaolan raised her right hand and prepared to use the space to sneak away first, but before the space could be opened, a dense crowd of people rushed towards her location from all directions.
"Thief! Thief!"
"The king's wishing bottle!..."
The crowd roared with shouts.
Within a few seconds, the long street was completely surrounded. The crowds all around were dressed like the two of them, holding swords and staring fiercely at Xiaolan in the center.
this……
Is this kind of battle necessary to catch a thief here?
Too many people.
Xiaolan silently put down her hands and collected her spiritual energy.
You can't easily show your abilities that are different from ordinary people in front of this group of people.
The leader was a man wearing a metal belt. The tall man just now leaned over and said something in his ear. The leader nodded, raised his sword, and pointed the tip of the sword at Xiaolan's forehead.
As expected of the leader, the swords he wears are much more gorgeous than the others.
"what's your name?"
The man's voice was deep and powerful, with an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"I see how she looks a bit like that person..."
"My name is...Liao Yilan, right..."
"Yes, it's a bit similar..."
"It's the wanted criminal Liao Yilan, right..."
"She seems a little younger..."
The crowd's murmurs reached Xiaolan's ears.
What the hell?
"My name is Tian Xiaohong," Xiaolan frowned, "What's wrong?"
"Tch, I can't even come up with a nice pseudonym." Heipi's complaint came from his pocket.
The leading man frowned, looking completely unconvinced.
"Is this your real name?"
"Ang, it was my mother who woke me up."
Xiaolan looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
The man's eyes darkened, and he waved his left hand forward. The two warriors stepped out of the crowd and walked towards Xiaolan.
Xiaolan opened her coat, stuffed the rabbit into her arms, and zipped up the coat and pockets.
The rabbit is really too fat. If this dress were any thinner, it would be impossible to zip it up...
A big hand pressed Xiaolan's shoulder.
Xiaolan resisted slightly, and her other shoulder was also held down. Both parties applied pressure at the same time, and Xiaolan was pushed to the ground.
"Report to the leader, non-supernatural person."
"Not a superpower?" The man's voice was full of doubts, "Really?"
"Report to the leader, there is no spiritual energy flowing."
Xiaolan lowered her head, and the rabbit was trembling in her arms.
"Xiaolan?" Heipi's voice came out.
"Shh-"
"You don't have psychic powers, but you can break into the royal city," the man snorted contemptuously, "Who knows what kind of good luck you have. Come on, throw Tian Xiaohong and the wishing bottle into the untouchable camp!"
"squeak!"
The rabbit meowed softly in his arms.
"Shh - Tutu is not afraid, I will protect you." Xiaolan whispered in a breathy voice.
"Hmph!" Black Skin chirped sourly, "It said that the untouchable camp is a safe place."
"Yeah, what else did you say?"
"They also said that you are too useless. You were discovered as soon as you landed. You are so stupid. I should have known better not to follow you. You are stupid and carefree. I was really blind before I entrusted myself to you. I should have wandered around the world with someone else...
…”
"Stop bringing in private goods."
While they were quietly scolding each other, Xiaolan's hands were twisted at the same time. Under the gaze of two rows of burly men on the left and right, they were escorted under the moonlight to a not-so-pleasant but relatively safe untouchable camp.
***
The other end of the royal city.
The moonlight shines through the arched flower window onto the dark old bed in the attic.
The girl lying flat on the bed looked like the sleeping Princess Ello, with the rose pattern reflected by the moonlight imprinted on her fair face.
The girl's eyelashes trembled slightly.
"You're awake."
The voice that came to my ears was old and hoarse, yet gentle and calm.
The girl opened her eyes.
An elderly woman who was almost rickety was standing beside the bed, leaning on a delicate crutch.
The older woman's face was blocked by her messy blond hair, and the girl could only see a pair of emerald green eyes shining through her hair.
"Where...where is this?" The girl sat up and looked around.
"This is the royal city, the place where humans dream."
The girl thought for a few seconds and said to herself, "I see, that's what Wu Ren said..."
After reacting, the girl hurriedly looked around her.
"Mother-in-law, am I the only one here?"
The older woman nodded slowly and asked slowly, "Little girl, what is your name?"
"I..." the girl hesitated, "My name is Pineapple, mother-in-law, just call me Pineapple."
