Chapter 161
…………
On one side of the bedroom is a spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling window. The white gauze curtain isolates the world of yellow sand outside, but allows a few playful rays of light to penetrate into this quiet space.
Huo Qi gently raised his left hand, which was not being held by Mu Jiao, and extended his slender fingers to gently stroke the large patch of soft, thick black hair that Mu Jiao had casually spread on the pillow. His delicate and elegant face gradually approached...
“Woo——”
The sleeping person seemed to feel the slight warmth on his cheek, and subconsciously raised a small hand to rub his cheek...
Mu Jiao was having a small nightmare at the moment. In the dream, she was playing with Meng Meng, but Meng Meng was extremely lively. Her hair would rub against her cheeks from time to time, making her face itchy...
"Mengmeng, stop messing around. This herb is for Brother Qi's treatment. There's only one. I've prepared some other delicious snacks for you..."
Mu Jiao wanted to control the overly lively Meng Meng, but she was holding a precious herb in one hand. She knew that Meng Meng was so servile because of this herb, but this herb was a miracle drug that could cure Brother Qi, and there was only one of it.
"Boo, boo, boo..." I want to eat that, I want to eat it!!! (Innocently taking the blame)
Although Mengmeng is greedy, she always listens to her. But for some reason, Mengmeng is unusually disobedient today. She jumps around in Mujiao's arms, and her hair flies towards her face from time to time...
This was the look of a "naughty kid" who would not give up until he achieved his goal, and Mu Jiao couldn't coax him no matter what she did.
Mu Jiao gradually lost her patience as the hair on her face kept itching from flying around. However, there were only her and Meng Meng on the lawn. The only way she could control this "naughty kid" was to put down the herbs and free up her hands.
In the real world right now...
Mu Jiao's little hand, which was holding Huo Qi's two fingers, was slowly loosening.
In the dream, Mu Jiao was extremely careful with this precious herb, and she tried to release her hand as slowly as possible, fearing that she would accidentally damage it. Therefore, the process of releasing her hand was extremely slow...
"Little guy, it's a little late to run away now."
At this moment, Huo Qi's voice was already extremely hoarse. The gentle demeanor he usually showed in front of Mu Jiao had also disappeared.
The immortal who was untainted by the mundane world fell into the mortal world and was stained by the worldly affairs. The demon who disdained the worldly affairs could not escape the predetermined fate and was willing to step into this world again.
The big hand with distinct joints took the initiative, and the slender fingers firmly grasped Mu Jiao's small hand that wanted to "escape", with the ten fingers interlocked and inseparable.
In the afternoon, the small room was quiet, and only a few sounds that made the time shy could be heard...
…
This is a dirty and messy alley. Homeless people can be seen sleeping on the ground everywhere. There is garbage everywhere and insects and ants are flying around.
Although it is called a small alley, the houses here are mostly built randomly with sand, and most of them are even shabby tents.
This is the south of Chixing City. Most of the people gathered in this alley are the lowest class people here. In addition, there are a small number of temporary taskers. The rent here is low, and it can be rented for a day or half a day, regardless of the time issue, so it is the best temporary rental place for some outsiders with tight financial conditions.
At this time, the atmosphere in a dilapidated intermediate capsule tent was weird, and Li Li looked at the other members of the team with a gloomy face.
After all, money is what moves people. The team was formed temporarily, but he was the captain of this mission. Because of their greed later in the mission, they lost everything they had obtained before. There is not enough time left for this mission, and it is bound to fail. Then they will face compensation.
He was a chatterbox and accompanied us along the way. He also knew that except for him, the others in the team had some savings, and the others had not been in this business for long.
This time he received a reward from a big boss, and logically he could have kept it all for himself, but in the end he thought again and again, thinking about the difficulties he had faced in his early years in this business, and decided to give half to them to share. However, he didn't expect...
