Chapter 473 Before Dawn 19
"Come and open it quickly! Ouch!"
Pan Zhengyi struggled desperately.
Now it was Old Li's face that was ferocious, and he was in a panic, fearing that Old Li would bite off his neck in the next second.
Just as the scene became more chaotic, a slight sound of breaking through the air was heard, and no one noticed it until -
puff!
Pan Zhengyi, who was originally dodging like a cricket pupa on the ground, froze.
His mouth was slightly open, and his teeth and lips on his hands were still bleeding.
Old Li noticed something was wrong, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a bloody hole!
"what!"
Old Li screamed and stepped back instinctively. At this moment, everyone around him saw it clearly.
The stone flew from nowhere with such force that it pierced Pan Zhengyi's right eye. A round hole also appeared on the back of his head, from which blood was oozing out.
"What's going on?"
"Who did it?"
When several of Pan Zhengyi's men saw his miserable condition, they retreated several steps and looked around in panic.
"Who! Come out!"
"You killed someone in the street, and the person you killed was Mr. Sakurai's translator! Are you courting death?"
Several men were still cursing, but their feet had already changed direction and prepared to escape.
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Several more stones came flying, hitting the lackeys very accurately, blowing their heads off.
When the stones were flying everywhere, Old Li jumped down nimbly, crawled forward, hugged his daughter in his arms, and then rolled over quickly, and the father and daughter hid under the eaves.
The panic on Nannan's face had not yet dissipated. She hugged Lao Li's neck tightly with her arms, "Daddy! I'm scared!"
The tears that had been accumulating in Old Li's eyes suddenly fell. He gritted his teeth, looked reluctantly at the family's most valuable asset, the rickshaw, and then looked at his daughter's pale face.
He hardened his heart, picked up his daughter and ran deep into the alley without looking back.
You can earn money later, but you only have one life!
It seemed like in the blink of an eye, and the few rapists who were so arrogant just now were all killed on the spot by small stones.
When the Sakura people discovered something was wrong and rushed over, all that was left was a corpse and the ground soaked with blood.
Everybody ran away.
A small group of Sakura people were so angry that they were shouting "Baga" crazily.
As for the two 'murderers', they left only after they were sure that all the people present at the scene had fled far away.
Chaoge and Xu Fengchun caught up with Lao Li at the city gate.
He disguised himself and his daughter.
An old beggar was with a little beggar.
Nannan's face and hands were all covered with black ash, and it was impossible to tell what she looked like.
"I plan to take Nannan away first." Old Li said with a wry smile.
"The world is so big, there must be a place where my father and I can live in peace."
Although he said this, his tone was full of uncertainty.
Chaoge handed over a small package.
It contained some easy-to-store dry biscuits, dried meat, a small bag of salt and silver dollars.
"It's not safe to bring too many things with you," Chao Ge said, "Hide the silver dollars and take them out when you are safe."
Xu Fengchun took out a small box and explained it carefully to Lao Li.
"This is for treating colds and flu, coughs and runny noses. This is for treating diarrhea and acclimatization. And this..."
Before Old Li finished listening, he pulled Nannan and knelt down.
Chaoge quickly grabbed the man and helped him up, "Don't kneel!"
Her eyebrows were furrowed, her expression was serious, and she looked angry.
Old Li was suddenly at a loss, his knees half bent, and then he stood up again under Chaoge's force.
"There are many ways to express gratitude, but you don't have to kneel."
This simple sentence made Lao Li feel sad and wanted to cry again.
Over the years, no matter what happens, everyone's reaction is to bow their heads and if that doesn't work, then they kneel down and kowtow.
No one has ever said that you don't have to kneel.
Lao Li: "I don't know how to repay you for saving my life..."
"Stay alive," Chaoge said gently, "Your survival is the best reward."
Her eyes fell on Lao Li and Nannan, and it seemed as if through them, she saw the millions of ordinary people struggling to survive.
No matter how hard or difficult it is, just keep living.
Until dawn comes.
Old Li choked up and responded softly, "Hey."
-
Pan Zhengyi's death did not cause much stir.
I don’t know what Zhao Zhihan and Sakurai said, but in the end Pan Zhengyi didn’t even have a grave. He was directly thrown into a mass grave outside the city.
After that, Sakurai trusted Zhao Zhihan even more and took him with him whenever he traveled.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time for this ridiculous wedding.
Xiao Yingjing's wedding was very lively.
Whether willing or not, everyone came to participate with a smile on their face and generous gifts.
But what was unexpected was that Xiao Yingjing, who had originally treated Bai Jinrong as a tool to show off, seemed to have put some effort into it. She listened to Bai Jinrong's words, followed the local customs, and held a Chinese-style wedding.
Sakurai, who is thin, short and frail, looks particularly out of place in a Chinese groom's suit.
But he still felt good about himself and was wandering around in the crowd smugly.
Bai Jinrong, wearing a bright red wedding dress, walked out from the backyard. Her black hair was tied up high, she wore a gorgeous pearl crown on her head, and her folded skirt was embroidered with butterflies.
Today, she is more beautiful than ever when she wears the princess's costume, with heavy colors embellishing her eyebrows and eyes, making her look unattainable and noble.
Xiao Yingjing greeted him with a look of surprise on her face, her cloudy eyes full of satisfaction and desire for Bai Jinrong.
Bai Jinrong walked into the courtyard expressionlessly, his eyes sweeping across the half-filled round table.
Seeing those people trying to put on a brave face and smile, she suddenly stopped.
Xiao Yingjing: “???”
Bai Jinrong's voice was unabashed, "Sakurai Jiro, can't you see that these people are not sincerely wishing us well, and are even coming to the wedding perfunctorily?"
The guests who were suddenly called: “??? Huh?”
Although we really don't want to come, we can still pretend to maintain face. Why are you suddenly breaking up with us?
Xiao Yingjing didn't understand Bai Jinrong's action. He frowned and asked, "So what do you want?"
"Get out!" Bai Jinrong shouted in a shocking voice.
Seeing that Xiao Yingjing looked unhappy and was about to get angry, Bai Jinrong spoke in a calm voice and calmed his temper immediately.
"Jiro, you don't have to care about these inferior people," she said with a cold expression, as if she didn't even want to see those guests.
"According to the rules, if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Since I'm married to you, I'm no longer a member of the Bai family. So these people who have nothing to do with you and me don't need to attend our wedding."
Sakurai's expression changed, but she hadn't made up her mind yet.
The people present were all selected by his brother Sakurai, people who were willing to contribute wealth to the Sakura Empire. Now that they were asked to leave, could he still get their property?
