Chapter 207 Vitality and Hope
Jiang Zhiyue glanced down at the man.
Under the dim light, Qin Si's facial features were cold and hard, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and his nose was high.
The way he slept with his hands on his chest looked like a cold-blooded killer.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't believe that he fell asleep, and she moved her body a little uncomfortably, but unfortunately there was no place for her to move. She leaned her head against the window, and as long as she squinted her eyes, she could see Qin Si very close to her.
In the narrow carriage, the cold wind rushed in through the gaps in the windows.
A light breeze blew the man's hair in front of his forehead.
Jiang Zhiyue glanced at him a few times, but Qin Si didn't react. She was silent for a moment, then closed her eyes.
After a moment, Jiang Zhiyue suddenly opened her eyes, looked at the man again, and then looked out the window.
The distant gunfire seemed to fade away.
Jiang Zhiyue pricked up her ears and listened for a long time. She finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back to rest.
The night is exceptionally long.
Jiang Zhiyue did not sleep well, and opened her eyes from time to time to look out the window.
Qin Si still had his eyes closed, breathing shallowly, and had fallen into a deep sleep.
"Master Qin?" Jiang Zhiyue called him, but he didn't respond.
It was really inappropriate that Qin Si could sleep soundly in such a messy place.
Jiang Zhiyue forced herself to stay awake, leaning against the window, her eyelids drooping and her little head drooping little by little.
Qin Si suddenly opened his eyes.
The winter night was freezing cold, and the girl was wearing a cream-colored coat, wrapped up tightly from head to toe.
She dug out two children's blankets from somewhere, covered herself with one and covered him with the other strawberry-colored cartoon blanket.
Qin Si frowned and looked at the incongruous pattern with an unhappy expression.
His eyes were clear and energetic, and his pair of black eyes were cold and heavy, like a lone wolf lurking at night.
After staring at the sleepy girl for a while, Jiang Zhiyue's head was still drooping and accidentally hit the glass window.
She let out a low cry and her little face twisted.
Qin Si's eyes were cold and he curled his lips for some reason. When the girl's head was about to hit the window again, he reached out to hold her up. His cold fingertips passed through her soft hair and he unconsciously entangled it around it.
…
Jiang Zhiyue was awakened by the cold.
The temperature dropped a lot. She sneezed a few times. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Qin Si had already woken up.
He sat beside her, quietly and without any movement.
The man had a sullen face and wiped the bloody butterfly knife in his hand.
Jiang Zhiyue looked outside vigilantly. It was still dark and a cold wind was blowing.
"Well, Master Qin, I fell asleep." She rubbed her eyes, "What time is it now?"
Qin Si ignored him and put the clean knife on his waist.
Jiang Zhiyue was already used to talking to the air, so she picked up the mineral water and took a small sip.
The girl's face turned a faint red again, and her water-stained red lips set off her bright big eyes, which were crystal clear.
Qin Si stared at her red lips, his eyes dark for a moment.
"It's almost dawn." He said in a deep voice.
Jiang Zhiyue yawned, feeling really tired both physically and mentally.
After being away for so long, she wanted to go home and be with Jiang Wanrou.
The riot in the original plot shouldn't have happened now.
She didn't know what to say to break the weird atmosphere, so she unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to the man.
"You seem to have had no water since yesterday."
Hearing this, Qin Si's calm expression seemed to become even uglier when he looked at it carefully.
But he didn't refuse. He took a few sips and tilted his head back to drink. The man's sharp jawline seemed sexier for no reason.
The most urgent thing for him was to leave the city, but the only way out of the city was the cross-sea bridge. Qin Si learned that the bulletproof bus from Lingnan Tunnel would leave this afternoon.
Jiang Zhiyue asked him where he got the news. The man opened the car door, and a biting cold wind mixed with a faint fishy smell came in.
There were several people lying on the ground, and it was unclear whether they were dead or unconscious. When Jiang Zhiyue passed by, suddenly a pair of hands hugged her legs.
She struggled and kicked a few times, but the other party not only did not let go, but also let out a strange giggle from his throat and opened his mouth to bite her.
Jiang Zhiyue recognized him as a homeless man from the old city.
Qin Si kicked the homeless man, who screamed and immediately let go.
"They tried to rob the car last night," the man said.
"These are homeless people from the old city." Jiang Zhiyue said, "They are not in a good mental state and can't run so far. Someone deliberately sent them here."
She squatted down and pulled the man's clothes, "Look."
Qin Si had a cold face and a look of disgust.
Jiang Zhiyue pointed at the homeless man's eyes and said, "I saw them a while ago and I thought they were very strange. Their eyeballs were cloudy, the whites of their eyes were yellow, and their skin was wrinkled and had an abnormal gray color."
"They look like they've taken a lot of illegal drugs, Master Qin, do you understand what I mean? I used to live in the slums, and the homeless people I saw were different from them."
Qin Si lowered his eyelids and glanced at him coldly.
Jiang Zhiyue said: "These people used to be healthy, but because of extreme poverty, they reached some deals with local factories."
"However, there is no transaction between the homeless and the rich, only a scam. The pharmaceutical factory nearby probably lured the civilians in the slums and conducted human drug experiments. They damaged their bodies and did not get the proper compensation, so they went crazy."
She stated a fact calmly, without mercy or preaching, with a soft tone and a silent expression.
After Jiang Zhiyue finished speaking, she filmed the scene with a small camera and left.
Qin Si's eyelids drooped and he showed almost no reaction.
After a while, a faint voice was heard.
"You know a lot."
"I observe more carefully." Jiang Zhiyue replied softly.
"It's an insignificant matter and has nothing to do with you." Qin Si looked gloomy.
He spared the lives of these homeless people, but they would have died anyway due to drug abuse.
He hated those dirty guys and didn't want to dirty his hands.
"They failed to recognize the trading rules and got cheated by the rich. It's their own fault." The tone was extremely cold, indifferent and cruel.
He uttered a sneer.
Jiang Zhiyue had never expected him to be so compassionate. The world rules and perspectives that Qin Si recognized were all based on his own standpoint.
She walked forward with her head down, explored the road for a while, and when she got back to the car, she was silent for a long time before she said, "Yes, you are right. People who can't recognize the rules will be deceived, even if they pay with their lives, it's their own fault."
"But you overlooked the premise. How can they, who are uneducated and can't read, distinguish the word 'rule'? They just want to survive."
"But if we teach the people who make the rules to understand the word 'rules', this country..." she thought for a moment and said, "will become more vibrant and hopeful."
