Chapter 398 Shen Que, I’m back.
"You...you can just set them on fire and send them away. You won't be afraid...you won't be afraid..."
Xiao Ba stuttered for a long time and couldn't even finish a sentence.
Meng Zhiyi was squatting in front of a small ditch not far away, washing her hands. When she heard Xiao Ba say this, she curled the corners of her mouth indifferently.
"What are you afraid of? I don't live in this time and space. There's no reason to let these evildoers continue to live, right?"
"Sometimes, justice doesn't come to you, so you have to do it yourself."
After she finished speaking, she vaguely heard some villagers discovering the fire and shouting to put out the fire.
Meng Zhiyi glanced at the almost burnt-out house, then turned and walked into the dark woods.
"Send me back to my original time and space." She leaned against a tree, she was so exhausted that she couldn't even speak.
Xiao Ba: "If your body travels through time, I can't guarantee that I will reach the destination."
Meng Zhiyi raised his eyelids and said calmly, "I know."
Xiao Ba secretly sighed, said nothing more, then opened the teleportation channel and sent her back.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a deserted alley.
Then I heard Xiao Ba explain: "The time in each space is not synchronized. It's not dark here yet."
"Um."
Meng Zhiyi hummed lightly, dragged his very tired body and walked out slowly, looking at the busy traffic in front of him.
She stared for a long time, then relaxed a little after a long time.
But then, Meng Zhiyi found that everyone looked at her strangely.
There is curiosity, there is scrutiny, and there is also disgust.
"Mom, look! That's a beggar." A little child not far away pointed at her and said.
Then, passers-by unconsciously avoided her and kept a distance from her.
Meng Zhiyi pursed her lips and looked down at her clothes. She really looked like a beggar.
But she couldn't help it.
I was only thinking about revenge and didn't even think about changing clothes and coming back.
With a sigh, she began to observe where she was.
But because she had mostly followed Shen Que before, or at least Wang Xiao drove her there, she had no idea where she was now.
Meng Zhiyi: "Xiao Ba, guide me, I want to find Shen Que."
Xiao Ba obediently gave her navigation, and found that she was more than ten kilometers away from Shen's.
"..."Meng Zhiyi was silent.
Before, she would have no problem walking over there.
But now, this body really can't move.
"Forget it, let's find someone to borrow a cell phone to call him." Meng Zhiyi looked around and then walked towards the bus stop not far away.
"Hello, can you lend me your cell phone to make a call?" Meng Zhiyi found a person who looked quite kind.
As a result, the other party turned his head and looked at her with great disgust, "Go away, you stinky beggar!"
Meng Zhiyi opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end said nothing.
She looked at the others and when she saw that they all lowered their heads, she no longer wanted to borrow their phones.
After leaving the bus stop, Meng Zhiyi had no choice but to walk slowly forward in the direction of the navigation.
After walking a few intersections, Meng Zhiyi no longer had the energy to walk any further, so she found a closed shop entrance and sat down on the steps.
She rested her chin on her hands and her thoughts began to wander.
The current situation brought her back to the time when she felt lost and couldn't contact Shen Que after leaving the Martyrs' Cemetery.
Suddenly, the roller shutter behind me rose up with a bang.
Meng Zhiyi stood up quickly, worried that the shop owner would treat him as a beggar and drive him away, so he turned around and said sorry.
"You...did something happen to you?" When the shop owner saw Meng Zhiyi, a trace of concern appeared in his eyes.
Meng Zhiyi was about to shake her head, but she recognized that the shop owner was the one who had lent her the public phone before.
"Boss, can I borrow your pay phone to contact my family?"
The boss said as he handed over his cell phone: "Sure, but the pay phone is broken. Can you use my cell phone?"
"Thank you." Receiving the boss' kindness again, Meng Zhiyi's eyes warmed up.
She held the phone, skillfully dialed Shen Que's phone number, and then waited nervously.
She knew that Shen Que's personal cell phone had no habit of answering calls from unfamiliar numbers.
So I'm not sure whether I can get through.
But the ring only rang twice before the call was connected.
Meng Zhiyi was a little excited, and then whispered: "Shen Que...can you come pick me up?"
The next second, the sound of a chair rubbing against the floor came from the other end of the phone.
"Yiyi, is that you?" The voice on the other end trembled with deep disbelief.
Meng Zhiyi: "Well, I'm on Tongyuan Avenue."
Then, there were hurried footsteps and the sound of a door hitting the wall.
Shen Que almost choked up as he finished speaking: "Wait for me, I'll be there soon. Don't go anywhere, just stay where you are, understand?"
Meng Zhiyi: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Then Shen Que said anxiously, "Don't hang up, baby, don't hang up."
Meng Zhiyi blinked, turned her head to look at her boss, and said with some embarrassment: "But... this is someone else's phone."
"It's okay. Your family must be worried and going crazy. Uncle still has some money for the phone bill." The boss smiled innocently, because Meng Zhiyi now looks like she is fifteen years old, and she is thin and small due to years of malnutrition.
So I just treated her as a child.
"Thank you." Meng Zhiyi smiled with his eyebrows raised, a smile appeared on his almost unrecognizable face.
The boss felt distressed, but he also felt that the girl looked somewhat familiar.
But when his eyes fell on her skinny body, he couldn't help but say, "Come in and sit inside. Are you hungry? Uncle will make you a bowl of instant noodles, okay?"
"No, I'll go home and eat later." Meng Zhiyi politely declined and listened quietly to the other end of the phone, where she could hear Shen Que calling her from time to time.
The boss didn't force her, but poured her a cup of hot water.
It was not rush hour now, and Shen Que's car had special privileges in Beijing, so it was directly allowed to enter through the green channel.
After more than half an hour, the luxury car, which was limited to only three units worldwide, stopped by the roadside.
When the boss was just marveling at how rich the person who could drive this car was, he saw a dignified and handsome man get out of the car and walk straight to his shop.
Seeing him, Meng Zhiyi quickly hung up the phone and returned the phone to his boss, then stood up and stared at the man who was walking towards him quickly.
"Shen Que, I'm back."
Meng Zhiyi wasn't sure how much time had passed since she left, but she just felt that she hadn't seen him for a long, long time.
Shen Que rushed over, stretched out his hands and held her in his arms with such force that he seemed to want to rub her into his body.
Meng Zhiyi frowned slightly, the wounds on her body were painful from being strangled.
She tilted her head slightly and whispered, "Shen Que... it hurts, my body hurts..."
Hearing this, Shen Que suddenly let go of her, and only then realized that the girl in front of him was terribly thin.
"Let's go to the hospital." Shen Que picked her up and turned to leave.
Meng Zhiyi pulled his clothes, then looked at the boss and said, "It was this kind boss who lent me the phone and poured me some hot water. It was him who did it last time as well."
Shen Que held Meng Zhiyi in his arms and bowed to the boss: "Thank you, I will give you a reward as a reward for helping my fiancée."
The boss initially declined the offer, but when he heard that Meng Zhiyi was the fiancée of this man with such extraordinary temperament, he was stunned.
Could it be that he had misjudged it?
This girl has a baby face?
However, Shen Que did not explain. He quickly carried Meng Zhiyi into the car and asked Wang Xiao to leave the boss's basic information.
After getting in the car, Shen Que asked distressedly: "What happened in the past six months? How did you get yourself into this state?"
