Xiaoxiang's mouth twitched with anger, but there was nothing she could do. She was not as strong as Lin Han, so she could only let him hold her.
The two of them strolled on the street together. After more than ten minutes, Xiaoxiang brought him to a dilapidated building area with not very good environment and fallen leaves everywhere.
It turns out that even in such a magnificent city like Baocheng, there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor.
Lin Han looked at the desolate environment around him and thought of the Baocheng city he saw when he came here. He couldn't help but sigh that the contrast between the past and the present was too great.
Xiaoxiang took Lin Han upstairs and pushed open a small room that looked ordinary and as dirty as the other rooms, but was quite clean inside.
There was a middle-aged man lying in the bedroom. He was sick in bed, pale and gasping for breath. I don’t know if it was because of his illness, but his face in his 50s looked particularly old and his hair was half white.
really!
Lin Han was not surprised to see that man. He did not think that Xiao Xiang would deceive him, and she did not sound playful when she said those words.
And if you think about it carefully, she owed so much money. If she was not stupid, she would have run away long ago. How could she allow those two people to catch her?
That's why he came to the rescue.
"Can you let me go now?"
Xiaoxiang looked back at Lin Han, shook his hand and asked.
"OK!"
After Lin Han let go of her hand, she walked to her father as if nothing had happened and fiddled with his clothes and sheets, but the man was unconscious and did not respond.
Lin Han has been observing the man's condition and judging from his condition, he probably doesn't have much time left.
"There are still seven days left, so I'll stay here first!" Lin Han looked around and said after sitting on a small sofa like a familiar person.
Xiaoxiang frowned when he heard it, turned around and looked at Lin Han, put his hands on his hips, and said unhappily, "Did I hear you right? You live with me? Can't you live in the Treasure Appraisers Association?"
"That won't work. Everyone looks at me the same way as you do, a hero? A pervert? They'll all lean towards the latter. And you owe me so much money, so it's okay for me to stay here for a few days, right?"
Lin Han waved his hands and sighed helplessly.
"It's no use for you to stay with me. I can't return the money to you right away. Wait, you don't really want to do something beastly to me, do you?"
Xiaoxiang hugged her arms and subconsciously took a few steps back, her eyes rolling around, staring at Lin Han vigilantly.
"It depends on who you think I am." Lin Han shrugged and didn't care.
He no longer cares about what others think of him, let alone what she thinks of him.
Hero? Pervert? That's it.
"Huh?" Xiaoxiang looked at Lin Han with a calm face and was a little surprised. She couldn't help but wonder whether this person was the same as what was written in the news.
The feeling he gave was, at least, not a bad one, not like a pervert with ulterior motives who took advantage of her situation. After all, he didn't do anything to her along the way.
But maybe she didn't do anything because she was awake. If she was asleep, she might have done something to her. Be careful.
"I can let you live here. I can make a bed for you, but I can't provide you with food. Who knows how much you eat in a day?"
Seeing that Lin Han didn't seem to be joking, she had no choice but to compromise since he was planning to stay and not leave. However, she still had to make some rules before that.
"I'll treat you to something to eat!"
"What is your purpose?" Lin Han had just stood up and finished speaking when she looked at him with suspicion.
But it's true that she had to be careful when a stranger asked her to have a meal.
"Just consider it as the rent for living here. It is not included in the 100,000 yuan. If you don't believe me, then just stay here!"
Lin Han walked out of the room nonchalantly, saying - come if you want.
Xiaoxiang hesitated for a while, then shouted to Lin Han outside the house, "Wait a minute, I'll take a shower and change clothes."
“…”
About an hour later, when Lin Han was almost getting impatient, he heard footsteps.
A slim girl next door with a ponytail and wearing a light yellow dress came out. Unlike before, she was now quite clean and had no special smell.
"What were you doing before? Why did you dress so dirty?"
Lin Han was a little surprised that she looked so miserable when they first met despite having such a good foundation, as if she had just crawled out of a grave.
"I'm a girl, so of course I have to be careful when I go out. If I dress myself up a little ugly or dirty, no one will have any intentions towards me."
"But don't those two people still want to sell you out?" Lin Han thought of the two people before and blurted out.
Xiaoxiang, who was about to feel proud, immediately swallowed back the words he was about to say.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
"the same as you."
Lin Han responded rudely and headed downstairs.
On the road, the two walked together in silence, but he couldn't help but speak, "Is your father suffering from black hand disease?"
When Xiaoxiang heard the three words "black hand disease", he suddenly stopped and looked at Lin Han more vigilantly.
"How do you know?" Her voice was very cold, and it was obvious that she regarded Lin Han as an enemy.
As for why? Lin Han didn't know, maybe it was because few people knew about this disease.
It was too coincidental that someone who had just appeared in front of her knew about the black hand disease.
But Lin Han ignored her warning and continued to talk. "After the corpse qi takes over, black spots will appear on the hands after a while, and then spread to all parts of the body. Because the hands appear first, it is called black hand disease. After the symptoms appear, it means that the corpse qi has spread to the whole body, causing the person to fall into a coma and basically no help."
The more she spoke, the paler Xiaoxiang's face became. She certainly knew what Lin Han meant.
She also knew her father wouldn't live long.
"Who are you? Are you one of those people who want my father's things?" Xiaoxiang asked, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth.
"Oh? Your father also does that kind of thing with others?" What Lin Han said was self-evident. To be able to be possessed by the corpse qi, of course, one must touch corpses all year round, or have things placed very close to corpses.
Xiaoxiang's words easily make people think that there is someone else who did the same thing with her father, and they may come to her house often.
"Don't answer the question with a question. Answer me first, who are you?" Xiaoxiang took out a folding knife from his clothes and put it on Lin Han's neck.
But it was obvious that it was only used for self-defense. It was the first time she did such a thing, and her hand holding the knife was shaking slightly.
