Stage [Republic of China]

Anxiously said loudly: "My husband is injured and seriously ill. He is looking for Mr. Shui everywhere, just want to see you. Mr. Shui, please do me a favor. If you are really here, go and see my husband for the last time." !"

As Amei said, she actually burst into tears in the torrential rain.

23, 23

◎"Each has its own destiny"◎

Even the crackling rain couldn't cover Ah Mui's crying.

Shui Jiu was startled suddenly, and then it was like overturning the barrel of five flavors, the taste was sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy.Fortunately, the heavy rain covered everyone's faces. Even if he was in a moment of panic, he didn't look particularly abrupt.

Ning Jimin was silent for a while, seeing that Shui Jiu's wet forehead was still dripping, he took out a dry handkerchief from his pocket, turned his face away, and without looking at him, handed the handkerchief to him and said, "Wipe your face first." !"

Shui Jiu took the handkerchief and wiped her face blankly.While wiping, there were more and more drops of water on his face, and he realized that he had already shed tears from the corners of his eyes at some point.This is rare!He suffered a lot when he was a child, even if he was whipped on the back by his master in the troupe, he never shed half a tear. Now he just heard that Xu Jishan was injured, why are there so many unstoppable tears?

Shui Jiu attributed all this to the fact that he hadn't eaten for a few days, and when his body was weak, his mind was in a trance.He calmed down a bit, wiped off the raindrops on his neck, and closed his eyes forcefully.

Through an ebony door with peeling paint, Ah Mui outside finally despaired.After about a quarter of an hour, seeing that no one responded to the shouts, he hurriedly ran to the side alley again.

Shui Jiu heaved a sigh of relief.

Turning his face, he found that Ning Jimin had been looking at him coldly.

Shui Jiu choked.

"You really recognize her." When Ning Jimin spoke, his attitude was unclear, his voice was very soft, and his body exuded a strong smell of inferior tobacco.

Shui Jiu couldn't help frowning. "Ever dealt."

This sentence was very vague, so naturally it couldn't fool Ning Jimin.

Ning Jimin laughed, as if he was too lazy to expose it.He took out an oily paper package from his pocket, opened it with his rough fingers, and found dried tobacco shreds inside.In front of Shui Jiu, roll it up with a piece of thin paper, make it into a homemade cigarette, put it in your mouth at an angle, and keep lighting it.

The matchbox was damp and it was very difficult to light a cigarette.

Shui Jiu couldn't help but frowned again, pointing her head back with her hand, and said, "Be careful of the master's yelling."

"It's okay, this is an empty house." Ning Jimin finally lit the cigarette, shook his hands, and said nonchalantly, "This was originally a house built by a wealthy businessman for his concubine, but now Jibei City is in great chaos, and the wealthy businessman has long since left. Well, that aunt doesn't know if she's dead or alive, anyway, no one lives there now."

Shui Jiu was silent for a while, and asked him, "What are your plans now?"

"I don't have any plans." Ning Jimin smiled with a cigarette in his mouth. "The matter here has just been concluded, so wait for a while, and wait for the yamen to relax, and then look for opportunities to leave the city."

"Lulu was captured by them." Shui Jiu took a deep breath, and Qingjun's brows and eyes were quite angry. "Aren't you going to rescue her?"

Ning Jimin was obviously taken aback, smoking a cigarette.After a while, he laughed hoarsely and said, "How to save?"

A large mouthful of blue smoke drifted out from Ning Jimin's lips, and the rain was wet in this dense water vapor, and it quickly dissipated.

Ning Jimin raised his head, but he didn't even avoid it, despite the rain running down his forehead, face and neck, his clothes were so wet that he could wring more than ten kilograms of water out.

"I really want to visit her," Ning Jimin smiled wryly. "But the gate of the yamen is under tight supervision now, and she was imprisoned as a felon, and the officials forbid her to visit. If I hang out in front of the prison a few more times, even I will be arrested."

Everyone cherishes their own lives.

It was understandable for Ning Jimin to say this.But Shui Jiu just felt uncomfortable in his heart, he couldn't help but sneered and said: "Poor, since ancient times, an infatuated woman has a heart."

Ning Jimin looked at him in a blink of an eye, and did not argue for himself. When the cigarette was more than half burnt and there was only one butt left, he greedily took a big puff again, until the cigarette butt was almost burning in his mouth, and then threw the cigarette butt on the On the ground, I crushed it hard with my leather shoes.The rain hit Ning Jimin's big-toed leather shoes, making a rattling noise.

"Brother Ah Jiu," Ning Jimin lowered his head and called out to him in a deep voice. "There are many unavoidable things in this world. Of course, if I tell you, you probably can't understand."

"Why can't I understand?" Shui Jiu was furious for a while, and couldn't help but bitterly said, "I was sent to the troupe as soon as I was a child. This kind of human relationship is cold and the world is cold, but I have seen too many."

As he spoke, he raised his neck and let out a sneer.

The cold rain dripped down along the side of Shui Jiu's hair, making his cold white face even more scorching.With long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, there is Qinghua between the eyebrows and eyes. In this heavy rain, it looks like a white lotus that is not stained with mud, and it is also like a jade Buddha who has fallen into the mortal world but is not stained with emotions and desires.

Ning Jimin stared at him bewilderedly, and after a while, laughed hoarsely. "Before the news from the official office is released, brother Ah Jiu, you should leave the city as soon as you have time! It is best to leave the city early in the morning."

Shui Jiu regained consciousness in a daze, took a deep breath of air, and said hesitantly, "...What about you?"

"Me?" Ning Jimin laughed hoarsely.After laughing enough, he lazily took out the second roll of paper from his pocket, rolled the shredded tobacco, not caring that the shredded tobacco was wet by the rain, and started to light the fire again without raising his head against the water. Jiu said: "You just go out of the city. I will naturally arrange the rest. You go out of the city and go to our original place."

Ning Jimin said as he held the wet cigarette in his mouth.The rain became heavier and heavier, half of the sky was dark, and it was as dark as the night.Ning Jimin struck the match a few times, but this time it couldn't catch fire no matter what.

Seeing his appearance, Shui Jiu felt a little angry, and felt unspeakably uncomfortable. She was silent for a long time before asking a question. "How many people do you have on the outskirts of the city? If something happens to you in the city, is there still someone who can come into the city to rescue you?"

"You care about me?" Ning Jimin smiled with a cigarette in his mouth. "Brother Ah Jiu, this is really the most heartwarming sentence I've ever heard in this world."

There's always something weird about this.

Shui Jiu frowned and sneered subconsciously. "Heh, if you talk about caring, only Lulu cares about you the most in this world, right?"

Ning Jimin was noncommittal, holding his cigarette sideways, and struck a match again.The rain was too heavy, Ning Jimin bent his body slightly, and used his chest to block the wind, preventing the wind from sweeping away the rain and drenching the fire.He lit the cigarette for a long time, and finally polished the sparks a little. He hastily bowed his head and bent over, and lit the cigarette.

The choking smell of inferior tobacco filled the air again.

Shui Jiu couldn't help coughing, flapped his nose with his hand, and frowned impatiently, "When did you learn to smoke this cigarette?"

"Ah, thirteen or fourteen, or fifteen or sixteen?" Ning Jimin laughed indifferently. "Who cares about this?"

The sound of rain was crackling, and soon the two of them were drenched below their knees.Ning Jimin paused, his expression slightly adjusted. "On the other hand, Brother Ah Jiu, hurry out of the city at dawn tomorrow morning. The situation is dangerous right now, so don't tell me you'll go in too."

As far as Shui Jiu knows, there are already Paramount Red Dancer Lulu and Fengyu Mihang's buddy Zhuzi who folded in.No matter how many more, I am afraid there are still.

Shui Jiu was silent. "...Are you really not leaving?"

"Don't go." Ning Jimin seemed to be as happy as a fairy when he had cigarettes.Squinting his eyes slightly, he took a long breath enjoying himself, and then smiled nonchalantly again. "If I leave, who will finish it in this city?"

"But you are in the city..." Shui Jiu hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't bear it, and said again, "Aren't you afraid of being arrested too?"

Ning Jimin squinted at him, with a half-smile, and raised the corners of his lips. "Even if he is caught, what can he do?"

As Ning Jimin said, he took another deep breath, a cigarette was about to burn his ass.Ning Jimin held the cigarette reluctantly, reluctant to take it from his lips, which caused a burst of coughing.This cough was so fierce that he seemed to be coughing out even the lobes of his lungs.

Just as Shui Jiu was about to say something, Ning Jimin waved at him repeatedly.After a while, Ning Jimin waited for the cough to subside, threw the cigarette on the ground, and crushed it out again with his big-toed leather shoes.The sparks rolled into the dust and rain, and went out without a sound.

Ning Jimin looked up at the rain curtains that kept falling under the eaves, looked at Shui Jiu in the heavy rain and said meaningfully, "Brother Ah Jiu! In this world, everyone has their own destiny. Just take care of yourself That's it."

Shui Jiu opened his mouth, but finally found himself speechless.

"When you go out of the city tomorrow morning, remember to look for the soldier with three hairy black moles on the back of his left hand." Ning Jimin paused as he spoke, and laughed hoarsely, "That man originally received money from us." , and gained many benefits. When you go out of the city, you only need to give this to him. "

With a snap, Ning Jimin took out another heavy purse from his arms and threw it to Shui Jiu.

Shui Jiu picked it up in a hurry.

Ning Jimin said again, "You just need to give him this purse, and he will naturally let you out of the city without saying a word."

Shui Jiu never expected to meet Ning Jimin, and there was such a good arrangement.But it was an accident that he met Ning Jimin today, if he hadn't been chased by Amei, the maid of Xu Jishan's house, and ran to this dead end, this fate would never have happened.

Presumably this purse was not originally
