Chapter 16 New Clues

Xu Nian felt that he might have offended some great god. His luck was really bad recently. First, he was framed by Zhao Qiang, the bastard, and now he was used as a shield by this inexplicable woman beside him. Even a good-tempered person like him couldn't help but feel angry.

He shook the woman's arm and said coldly: "Get out."

As he said that, he didn't even look at the stunned lady at the counter and walked straight out the door.

The lady at the counter was full of despair in her eyes, and she squatted down and burst into tears.

The son on his shoulder was awakened by the sudden cry. He rubbed his confused eyes and looked in the direction of the sound. He immediately asked in confusion: "Dad, this sister has the breath of that spirit."

Xu Nian's body was shocked, and he stopped and whispered: "What did you say?"

"It was the spirit that the baby summoned with the lantern that night!"

Xu Nian reacted and said in surprise: "Are you talking about Link?"

The son blinked, suddenly jumped on the top of the counter lady's head and sniffed, then returned to Xu Nian's shoulder and nodded: "It's this breath, the baby is very sure."

Xu Nian's pupils shrank slightly, and he felt keenly that he seemed to have inadvertently discovered new clues to Link's death.

So he turned around and returned to the crying counter lady.

He took out a tissue from his arms and handed it over.

"Crying is useless."

Xu Nian said lightly.

The counter lady who was crying with her head in her arms was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Xu Nian in confusion, as if she didn't quite understand why the indifferent man just now came back again.

Xu Nian said indifferently: "In this world, if you want to do anything, you don't rely on tears, but on your own hands."

The lady at the counter was shocked and bit her lip. She took Xu Nian's tissue, stood up, wiped the tears from her face, and whispered thank you.

Then, she turned and looked at the old couple who were still arguing in the distance, and said sadly: "Do you know? They are my parents."

Xu Nian's eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "I can see that if they were not parents, you would not threaten them with your innocence."

The lady at the counter smiled bitterly and whispered: "My name is Bai Fei. I have a brother who is more than ten years older than me. He has loved me since I was a child, more than my father, but now he is dead."

Xu Nian inexplicably thought of the "resurrection from the dead" whispered by the old woman on the bus, his pupils shrank, and he said in a deep voice: "The dead cannot be resurrected, please accept my condolences."

Bai Fei glanced at Xu Nian, and a trace of pleading appeared in his eyes : "Can you do me a favor?"

Xu Nian frowned: "What do you want to do?"

"Buy me." Bai Fei noticed Xu Nian's stunned expression, her pretty face flushed, and she waved her hands in panic, saying: "You misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I just wanted one night, don't worry, it's my first time."

Xu Nian: "."

Bai Fei seemed to know that her request was very cheap, but time did not allow her to delay, so she grabbed Xu Nian's hand again and begged: "Please, I'm just two thousand short, please help me."

Xu Nian was shocked, not because the other party was really going to sell her body, but because the other party said that he was still short of two thousand yuan.

What on earth is he doing, two thousand yuan is just the amount of money he is short of?

You know, he only eats about five or six yuan a day, and two thousand yuan is enough for him to eat for half a year.

At this time, the old couple who were still arguing in front seemed to find out what their daughter was begging for, their faces changed, and they hurried over.

Among them, the old woman pushed Xu Nian away with a vigilant look, and then pulled Bai Fei away.

"Let's go home with mom."

"No, I won't go back."

Bai Fei suddenly broke free from her mother's hand, hugged Xu Nian's arm, and shouted: "If you don't want to save my brother, I will save him myself. He has agreed to lend me money. I don't need you anymore. Go away!"

Bai Fei's father was furious and subconsciously raised his hand to slap her.

Bai Fei stretched his face forward, fearless, as if he would let you hit him.

"You cough cough"

Bai Fei's father coughed repeatedly in anger. Bai Fei's mother hurriedly calmed her husband and cried: "Daughter, you are going to force your parents to death!"

Bai Fei said with a determined look: "You are the ones who don't want to save my brother, and you are the ones who want to force me to death!"

"You stupid cough cough cough."

Bai Fei's father was angry again and coughed more violently.

Seeing this, Xu Nian knew that he couldn't keep silent any longer, so he said calmly: "Two old people, why don't we find a place to talk slowly, after all, this is a public place."

The two old people were stunned, and then they noticed that because of the movement of the three people, some people had slowly gathered around.

Bai Fei's father was embarrassed, glared at his daughter, and whispered: "You embarrassing idiot, go home."

Bai Fei's face changed, and she wanted to say something, but after seeing Xu Nian's eyes, she still forcibly held back and silently led the three people on the way.

No words along the way.

Bai Fei lived near the Martyrs' Cemetery, which was a concentration of homestays and hotels. The street was quite lively, with vendors setting up stalls, small shops with doors open, and pedestrians talking and laughing everywhere.

Bai Fei's parents were obviously not here for the first time, and they didn't need Bai Fei to lead the way at all, and went directly into a homestay called "Traveler's Home".

Bai Fei saw the confusion in Xu Nian's eyes and explained: "Although my job is an iron rice bowl, the salary level is actually not high. If you rent this B&B on a monthly basis, it will cost 300 per month. Someone will clean it every day, and also pay a monthly fee of 300 yuan." There is free breakfast, which is actually quite good. ”

Xu Nian nodded and followed her into the room.

Her parents followed in with equally thoughtful expressions.

As expected, the room is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom room with a TV, air conditioner, sofa and more. It is a standard single room.

After asking Bai Fei's parents to sit down on the sofa, Xu Nian sat on the edge of the bed at Bai Fei's signal.

Bai Fei sat next to Xu Nian.

Xu Nian felt a little embarrassed for no reason.

The son jumped down from Xu Nian's shoulder and sniffed around, not knowing what he was doing.

"Dad, Mom, I don't want to say anything else now, and I don't want to miss you anymore. You can go back."

"Don't try to drive him away. You know my character. Even if you drive him away, I can find someone else."

At this time, Bai Fei suddenly spoke and broke the silence.

Bai Fei's father glared at Bai Fei, stopped his anxious wife who wanted to speak, looked at Xu Nian and said: "Young man, logically speaking, we are strangers, you spend money to buy my daughter's innocence, I won't do it on the spot Beating you to death will already give you a lot of face."

Xu Nian looked embarrassed and said quickly: "Old man, you are wrong."

"Let me finish my words first."

Bai Fei's father took a breath as he spoke.

Xu Nian smiled bitterly and remained silent.

"What I want to say is, do you know why she did this?"

Xu Nian glanced at Bai Fei who lowered his head and said nothing, frowned and said, "It seems...she wants to save her brother?"
