Chapter 7 The Girl in Red from the Watermelon Clan
Mo Youli rescued the man from the Egg Tribe and brought him to a relatively safe Blueberry Temple.
As he removed the makeshift veil from his face, he managed to see confusion in the Egg Tribe's eyes.
"Who are you? I've never seen you before! Why did you save me?"
As soon as these words came out, Mo Youli knew that he had probably misjudged them. However, holding on to a one in ten thousand chance, he continued to ask, "Have you ever lost any memory? Is it complete?"
The Egg Tribe man became increasingly confused as he listened. He shook his head and said, "I remember every memory from my childhood to adulthood, and I'm sure I've never seen you."
His hopes were dashed, and Mo Youli could only sigh helplessly.
He waved his hand and said, "Go away. I only saved you because I thought you might have known me before. Unfortunately, I probably recognized the wrong person."
The man from the Egg Tribe refused.
"Even if it's just a misunderstanding, it can't hide the fact that you're my savior. We, the Egg Clan, have always upheld the principle of revenge and repayment. I will never forget this kindness.
What we Egg Clan are best at is making pendants to counterfeit identities. I see that you have no pendants around your waist and no facial ornaments on your face, so you must be a criminal slave.
Life is tough for criminals in today's world. I can help improve the situation.
Whatever ethnic identity you want, just ask me and I can help you get it immediately!"
Mo Youli was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. There was another criminal slave in this world who misunderstood him.
However, the man from the Egg Tribe was right in one thing: his identity as a criminal slave did restrict his movements in many ways, otherwise he would not have been forced to come to this desolate wilderness and fend for himself.
Mo Youli decided to accept the feedback from the Egg Tribe. He looked around: This was a blueberry temple. The shadow of blueberries could be seen almost everywhere, and his nose was filled with the sweet fragrance of blueberries.
He casually pointed at a bunch of blueberries and said:
"I don't have any specific idea about fruit, so let's just go with this."
——
With the pendant that symbolizes his identity, Mo Youli's movements became much more convenient.
When he is away from home, the first thing he needs to think about is making money.
He also doesn't understand the culture of the Fruit Country, so he can only rely on force and make money by working as a thug for others.
Because the Blueberry Clan is known for its violent temper and strong physical strength, even though he looks docile and harmless, the boss is not suspicious and is very satisfied with him.
He mainly worked in debt collection jobs, where he was paid daily, provided with food and lodging, and his job was to find the debtors and urge them to pay back their debts quickly.
As time passed, he had a general idea of the culture of the Fruit Country.
On his way to collect debts as usual, he met a group of people. They had serious faces and were wary of everything around them. Any slight movement would make them subconsciously alert.
Between them was a huge cage, covered with thick cloth, making it impossible to see what was inside.
Mo Youli didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he didn't have any extra curiosity. He was ready to leave immediately and work hard for his boss.
Unfortunately, accidents always happen suddenly. The cage, which had been as quiet as a chicken, suddenly began to shake violently.
The next second, the cage exploded, and a girl in red, about fifteen or sixteen years old, appeared in front of everyone.
After just one glance, Mo Youli immediately changed his previous idea of not wanting to cause trouble for himself.
The girl in red gave him a strong sense of familiarity, as if they had known each other a long time ago.
The girl in red seemed to have great strength. She directly fought with the people who trapped her and was not at all at a disadvantage.
Mo Youli observed quietly from the side. Looking at the scene in front of him, he always felt that something was missing.
Soon, he thought of it. He believed that the girl in red seemed to lack suitable weapons, and he believed that the weapons would best be two super-large axes that were so huge that they would attract people's attention.
This group of people seemed to have a special method to target the girl in red. I don’t know what means they used, but a sweet smell filled the air. Mo Youli pinched his nose subconsciously and frowned slightly.
This smell is a bit unpleasant, Mo Youli thought.
The smell dealt a fatal blow to the girl in red. She became paralyzed instantly and fell to the ground, unconscious.
The fighters seemed relieved, exchanged glances, and hurriedly took the girl in red away and stuffed her into the spare box.
Mo Youli followed closely behind, keeping a proper distance and tracking them slowly and steadily.
They walked for a long time in silence until a break, when some of them started talking.
From their words, Mo Youli knew that this girl in red who gave him a sense of familiarity was one of the items for auction at the recent auction.
"This girl is indeed from the Watermelon Tribe, known as the God of War Fruit Tribe. Even if she forgets the Watermelon Tribe's attack methods and doesn't have any weapons, she's still a problem."
One of them sighed.
Watermelon tribe?
Mo Youli tilted his head and silently memorized this race.
"Being tricky is a good thing!" another added, "Being tricky is worth being auctioned off by those powerful people!"
The person who sighed nodded in agreement:
"That's right! But I never thought we'd be so lucky! More than a decade ago, that Watermelon Tribe suddenly disappeared overnight. We thought we'd never see them again, but we actually found one right away!"
The two continued chatting for a while, but unfortunately the topic changed and Mo Youli was unable to learn more information.
——
"That girl in red is Qiuyue. I've seen her before, and as I'm following her, my memory is slowly returning.
Along the way, I tried to save her several times, but their defense was too tight and I couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
Later, they sent her to this passion fruit auction, and I had no choice but to wander around, looking for any loopholes that could allow me to sneak in."
As he spoke, Mo Youli felt a little thirsty. He drank some orange juice to moisten his throat, then continued:
"I've been lurking around the auction all this time, and then I ran into you. I noticed you were acting suspiciously, so I came over to check it out.
I didn't expect that my memory would be completely restored after seeing you, so I took the initiative to come to you."
Speaking of this, the two guys couldn't help but smile at each other, and they both thought of the little episode in which they had just fought each other.
Xu Ren'er coughed lightly and said, "I'm sorry, my memory of that time is not very complete."
Mo Youli expressed his understanding: "It's okay. My memory suddenly returned after I saw you."
"What are your plans next?"
Xu Rener asked.
"The auction will officially begin tomorrow. The security at the auction house will be relatively lax by then. I plan to sneak in and wait for an opportunity to act. I must rescue Qiuyue."
Xu Ren'er nodded, her eyes flashing with light, and she smiled:
"Take my share. I want to join you."
——
After saying goodbye to Mo Youli, Xu Ren'er returned to the original inn.
At this time, Pingguo Xinshan and Qingti Yaoming had not returned yet. Xu Ren'er took off the battle robe he used as disguise, stuffed it under the bed, and then cleaned up the room.
Coincidentally, she had just finished tidying up the room when Apple Xinshan pushed the door open and walked in.
She didn't notice the changes in the room, and she wiped it on her face casually, and a cold and beautiful face was instantly revealed.
She took out a piece of paper and two pens from her sleeve. She had asked the waiter downstairs for them when she was about to go upstairs.
Closing her eyes and carefully recalling the routes she had explored, Apple Xinshan's mind gradually formed a clear and complete route map.
The next second, she opened her eyes, quickly spread out the paper, pointed the two tips of the pen at the paper, and wrote as if possessed by God. Xu Ren'er could only see her hands moving back and forth quickly, and the remaining afterimages swayed in her pupils.
“Huh~”
Apple Xinshan finished the work in one go. The ink on the paper had not yet completely dried up. Under the light, the water stains were faintly shining. Apple Xinshan rarely smiled and blew on the newly made route map, trying to speed up the drying process.
Xu Ren'er was full of admiration and barked twice to express his amazement.
Apple Xinshan heard the noise, turned to look at Xu Rener, and reached out to stroke Xu Rener's head.
“It’s quite efficient!”
A loud and powerful male voice came from their ears. Xu Ren'er and Pingguo Xinshan looked out the window at the same time, only to see Qingti Yaoming standing outside the window, looking at them with a smile.
Noticing their gazes, Qingti Yaoming raised his right hand, with a carefully folded piece of paper sandwiched between his index and middle fingers.
Seeing this, Pingguo Xinshan put away her smile, looked at him expressionlessly, raised her chin and raised her eyebrows.
Qingti Yaoming understood immediately, shrugged helplessly, and flicked his fingertips. The paper that was originally in his hand flew straight into Pingguo Xinshan's hand.
Apple Xinshan gave Qingti Yaoming a cold look, and Qingti Yaoming couldn't help but shiver subconsciously.
When he passed it over just now, he didn't control the strength well, and Apple Xinshan obviously felt the difference.
This cold and sharp look was a warning to him - he had been a little slack in his training recently.
Apple Xinshan opened the paper folded by Qingti Yaoming and combined it with the route map she had just drawn.
"The layout of Yuantu Town is too simple. It will be difficult to plan our escape route."
While Apple Xinshan was opening the paper, Qingti Yaoming had already jumped in through the window. He came close to Apple Xinshan, and together they looked down at the complete route map and said.
"That's fine." Apple Xinshan replied calmly, "We've come here before, haven't we, even when there's an escape route that's more difficult to plan than this?"
As soon as these words came out, Qingti Yaoming's eyebrows and eyes were all smiling. He nodded and replied, "That's right!"
While no one was paying attention to her, Xu Ren'er jumped onto the table and carefully looked at the route map made by Pingguo Xinshan and Qingti Yaoming.
Thank you both for your gifts! Xu Ren'er said silently in his heart.
At this moment, she was so happy that she was crazy.
It's a free map! It even includes an escape route!
Xu Ren'er was staring at the paper intently, memorizing it in his mind, when Apple Xinshan suddenly spoke out:
"Tomorrow I'll bring the apples to the auction to attract everyone's attention. You disguise yourself as another staff member and proceed according to circumstances!"
Xu Ren'er was stunned. "Apple Baibai, isn't this her new name? They're actually bringing her along?!"
