Chapter 7 Living Lane

The man in black smiled and said, "I knew that you wouldn't be interested."

"Quickly!" Zhao Zilong asked anxiously, "Where is the girl I'm looking for?"

The man's eyes in black suddenly turned cold: "Your ears won't be so spiritless, will you? As I said, this is a deal.

Zhao Zilong was stunned and suddenly felt that he was too abnormal. He couldn't help laughing awkwardly and said, "Okay, okay, I know. So, I don't have to do anything tonight, just wait for the dawn?"

The man in black took a long breath of relief, "After all, you haven't forgotten too cleanly. Yes, that's it."

"So, who the hell are you?"

"Ji Jie..." The man in black smiled strangely and said indifferently, "You don't need to know this, but what I want to remind you is not to tell anyone about this matter, otherwise, we will be doomed, understand?" \

Zhao Zilong nodded and suddenly thought of another question, but before he could ask, the man in black robe was like a long shadow and disappeared silently.

Although Zhao Zilong felt that this matter was very strange, he couldn't take care of so much in order to find the girl, so he slowly stuffed the envelope into his arms. Looking at the gradually clear night, he felt that he was being involved in a strange storm by an invisible big hand.

"Why didn't he look for someone else but came to me? It's really strange to claim that you can do everything but have to deal with an ordinary person.

He suddenly felt a little tired and decided to find a hotel immediately. At the same time, he couldn't help sighing the impermanence of fate. In the morning, he was still in the heavenly center of Tianhong. At night, he met the damn devil and made this fateful deal with him.

He stood up and took a few steps forward. Suddenly, he found that there was a house at the end of the street, with yellow lights and a faint fog. He couldn't help taking a few steps forward and watching the shadows inside move. He suddenly realized that this was an unregistered inn.

He knocked on the door and a girl opened the door for him.

Zhao Zilong always pay attention to the girl, and he couldn't help but look at her.

The girl's hair was messy, and her expression seemed shy and uneasy. Her facial features were very beautiful, but they were covered by her hair, which made people not look real. She wore an apron and nodded slightly, which was a greeting.

"Mom, someone is coming." She shouted inside and then left in a hurry. Wiping the table, sweat kept dripping from her forehead on the table, and then she wiped it off, but the sweat dripped down more quickly, making her work seem to be endless.

A woman in her thirties came out and saw Zhao Zilong. She immediately asked him to sit down enthusiastically, and then eagerly asked him what she wanted to eat. Zhao Zilong had no intention of ordering and just said that he could order a few.

The woman nodded and then went in to get busy.

"You're not from here, are you?"

The working girl suddenly asked.

"Oh...no, I'm in the city..."

The girl smiled shyly, "No wonder you are much better than the people here..."

"Have you been there?" Zhao Zilong suddenly asked.

The girl said, "No."

She suddenly said, "Then why did you come here?"

Zhao Zilong seemed to remember that he had gone a long way. He couldn't help but be a little surprised and hurriedly said, "Where is this place?"

The girl said, "This is more than 100 miles away from the city. It is a street that has long been forgotten. If you have to know, I can also tell you."

Zhao Zilong smiled and said, "Okay."

The girl's face suddenly changed and she said lightly, "A living alley."

Zhao Zilong couldn't help but be stunned: "What? Living alley?"

Why is it called Living Lane? Does it have any allusions?"

The girl said, "The people here have come to take refuge. They have all experienced painful changes and can't continue to survive in the outside world, so they came here. It can be said that this is a peach blossom source."

She paused and said, "They all think that only here can live (survive), so this place is called Living Lane.

Zhao Zilong nodded, but felt very surprised. What kind of pain can't be endured? He wants to hide here to live in seclusion, and it is so easy to be broken into by outsiders. What is it called seclusion?

"Has none of you ever been out of here?" Zhao Zilong asked.

The girl shook her head: "No, our family has moved here for more than ten years, and we have never thought about going out. It's safe here."

Zhao Zilong couldn't help sighing: "It turns out that Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Land is not fabricated out of thin air. It seems that no matter what the imagination is, as long as it is based on reality, it can be turned into reality."

Thinking of this, I looked at the girl and suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

The girl replied gently, "Xiao Ming."

Zhao Zilong nodded and was about to say something more when he suddenly saw the boss's wife coming over with a plate of dumplings.

Zhao Zilong was already hungry. He picked up his chopsticks and immediately swallowed it.

After eating, Zhao Zilong took out a * and handed it to the boss's wife. The boss's wife seemed to be embarrassed. Zhao Zilong was stunned for a moment and immediately understood that she must not be able to find it.

"Ha ha, no need." Zhao Zilong smiled and said, "Do you have a room here?" Just think of the rest as the house money.

The boss's wife smiled and looked simple and sincere. "Yes, but I'm afraid you will dislike it."

Zhao Zilong said quickly, "Absolutely, absolutely, I'm very happy to have it."

"Okay, I'll take you up."

Zhao Zilong followed the boss's wife upstairs and opened the door.

"Thank you." Zhao Zilong said, walked into the room and closed the door.

The room is indeed very simple, with a thin bed board covered with a thinner quilt.

Zhao Zilong was so tired that he fell asleep.

He only felt that some strange faces suddenly appeared in front of him. All of them were ferocious, but they were begging him to let him go. Zhao Zilong only felt extremely scared, but he felt puzzled. He had not done anything harmful. Why did these wrongdoers pester him? What about it?

He finally felt a little impatient and kicked them randomly, and the unjust ghosts immediately fled in fear.

"Ah!" Zhao Zilong suddenly woke up with cold sweat on his forehead. He gasped heavily, and his heart still had palpitations about the scene just now.

He subconsciously looked at his watch and it was dawn.

"Envelope?!"

He immediately took out the envelope from his arms and tore it open. There were five large blood-stained characters on it.

"Kill all the living alleys!!!"
