Lin Jiu blinked in confusion. It was obviously the height of summer in July, and it would not be related to the word "cold". However, she did not express her doubts, and obediently went upstairs to add a tulle. shawl.

Fu Yi seemed a little dissatisfied when he saw Lin Jiu wearing only a thin shawl, but he didn't let Lin Jiu change it. He stood up and buttoned his military jacket, "Let's go."

It was just after five o'clock when he went out, and the remaining warmth of the day was still on the ground. Fu Yi opened the car door for Lin Jiu in a gentlemanly manner, holding on to the door frame to prevent her from hitting her head. After Lin Jiu sat firmly, he closed the car door. , and then walked around from the rear to the other side to get on the bus.

The car slowly drove out from the Commander's Mansion. As it passed by on the road, Lin Jiu could always see people outside the car window paying attention to this rare car.

Just when there was only one street left from the western restaurant, the car was blocked by a car that was making a U-turn in the middle of the road. The driver turned to Fu Yi and said, "Young Marshal, this is that person's car."

Fu Yi pondered for a second and said to the driver, "Go and ask Inspector Hou if he needs help."

When Lin Jiu heard the name, he glanced at the car blocking their way. The person inside should be the inspector sent from above who suddenly visited Pingcheng yesterday.

The silhouette of a middle-aged man emerged from the car window. Lin Jiu only glanced at it, then turned his head without interest and looked at the street scene.

The newly opened hotel on the roadside has already lit up its neon sign. Under the name of the hotel, there is a slogan with the words "Heaven on Earth". Next to the hotel, there is a narrow alley that is completely covered. In the shadows.

Suddenly, a little girl ran out of the alley. The girl looked to be only five or six years old. She was sallow and thin. She was covered with rags joined together, but her hands were as rough as an old woman in her sixties or seventies.

The little girl stood at the entrance of the alley, curiously looking at the scene on the street. After feeling Lin Jiu's gaze, she raised a smile and walked towards Lin Jiu.

Lin Jiu also showed a gentle smile to the girl and waved gently. At this time, another girl ran out from the darkness of the alley. The girl was about eleven or twelve years old. She had the same sallow complexion and ragged clothes. He picked up the little girl and walked back in a panic.

The little girl was held in her arms. When she saw Lin Jiu behind the car window, her chapped and pale lips parted, she waved, and then she was swallowed up by the shadow of the alley.

Lin Jiu put down his hand and the corners of his mouth narrowed. At this time, the car also started up again. Only then did Fu Yi notice that Lin Jiu's gaze had been falling outside the window. "What are you looking at?" Fu Yi followed Lin Jiu's gaze. Looking around, I could only see shops passing by on the street.

"Looking at the paradise on earth." Lin Jiu smiled softly, but there was a chill in her eyes.

Fu Yi just thought she was talking about the restaurant's sign, so he smiled and told her about the new Western gadgets in Pingcheng recently. Finally, he said: "Whatever my sister likes, just tell Uncle Zhao. I can find some for you to play with.”

Lin Jiu didn't refuse or accept. He just said: "I understand, brother."
