"Is this really the case?" The little girl murmured with some suspicion.
In fact, I have only met him three or four times in total. My impression of him always remains at the first meeting. I am not so sure whether it is true or not.
I then waved my hand impatiently and said, "It doesn't matter whether he is true or not, it has nothing to do with us anyway!"
"Oh!" Sleeper nodded slowly. Seeing the direction I was going, she couldn't help but call me out and said, "Madam, you're going the wrong way! That way is the direction back to the Prince's Mansion. If you want to continue shopping, you should go this way.
That’s it!”
I looked up and looked around, and suddenly found that I had no interest at all. I simply shook my head and said: "Forget it, I'm not in the mood anymore, let's go back!"
Sleeper immediately became nervous and asked me cautiously: "Madam, are you okay? Did Sleeper just say the wrong thing and make you angry?"
I then shook my head and said, "I'm fine. Don't think too much about it. I just feel a little tired and want to go back and rest!"
Sleeper then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There are many people on the street, why don't I take you back home through a shortcut!"
"Um!"
I nodded lightly and motioned for the girl to lead the way...
The so-called shortcut is to bypass Zuixianju. There is an alley behind. I heard the girl said that it leads all the way to the back door of the Prince's Mansion. I haven't walked through such an alley for a long time. It feels very quiet, especially in that area.
The road paved with bluestones is dilapidated and whitened by the mud and water. There are traces of time everywhere. Walking on it gives you a unique feeling.
I jumped along the bluestone slab, as if I had returned to that time when I was young...
"Brother, look, two chicks came to my door by themselves!"
Suddenly, a disgusting joke broke the tranquility of the alley, and two young gangsters dressed in slutty clothes emerged from a fork in the road not far away. One of them, holding a straw in his mouth, was leaning against the wall.
In front of me, the other one held his chin with one hand and looked at me and Sleeper with lewd eyes.
I suddenly felt a bad feeling, stopped, frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
