The Crystal Palace Of Heaven

Chapter 22 - Not heaven



After Alantis left, Lu Xi looked at the two guards standing there like statues, and shook his head happily. He leaned on the carriage and figured out how to pass this time.

At this time, a bloated figure came out from a magnificent courtyard next to it. It was a man about forty years old. He wore a magnificent robe embroidered with heraldry and gold lace, and held a ruby ​​ivory cane in his hand.

   This extravagant dress did not give the man much aura, but Lu involuntarily hoped to think of the colorful balloons in the amusement park, no matter how bloated it was.

The man approached a carriage, and the driver quickly opened the door. Just as they were about to get on the bus, a ragged middle-aged woman did n’t know where she came from. She was skinny and full of food, but she did n’t know where the power came from. She grabbed the Phnom Penh robe. . The faint yellow eyes now revealed the light of supplication.

“What’s the situation?” Lu Xi pointed at the woman who was obviously a beggar and said to the guard.

“Of course it is a beggar!” Although the guard stood like a statue, he politely answered Lu Xi’s question.

“No, I mean, why are beggars here?”

“Adult laughed.” The guard said: “Why can’t the beggar get here?”

  Are you a guard or a cross talk? Lu Xi suddenly angered, and just wanted to say something, the beggar woman had already pleaded: “Sir, please do well …”

“Go away, you old beggar! Smudge my clothes, you can’t afford a hundred!” The noble man screamed in a vicious manner, he pulled his robe hard, When he realized that he couldn’t pull it, he picked up his cane again and knocked it on his face.

The woman covered her head and face with one hand, but still grasped the robe tightly with one hand. She knelt on the ground, silently endured the beating of the man, while begging: “Master, please do well, I don’t care, but my daughter …”

“Daughter?” The man in the robe paused, and his eyes quickly rested on a little girl in the corner.

It was a little girl who was only seven or eight years old, but was skinny and yellow-skinned. She hided in the corner of the street and watched her mother beating. Although her eyes were filled with tears, she dared not come. However, although she was as skinny and pale as she was, she had a pair of big clear eyes and a delicate nose and mouth, and she could be seen as a beautiful embryo.

“Adult, please buy my daughter. Just give her a meal and let her do anything …”

“Oh, is she going to sell her daughter?” The man nodded and looked at the little girl’s eyes, “How much?”

The woman looked at the man ditheringly, and then hesitantly at her daughter. Her teeth twitched hard, and then she twitched out five fingers: “Five, fifty silver karaokes. As long as you can give her a full meal, take him away in five or fifty … “

“Mom, Mom, I don’t want to go, I want to be with Mom, Mom!” The little girl tugged tightly at the corner of her mother’s clothes and wailed with a cry.

The woman seemed to be unmoved, deliberately not looking back and making contact with her daughter’s eyes, but at that moment, the murky tears had flowed out of her dim eyes uncontrollably.

Perhaps it is because I have seen more of these scenes. The richly dressed man did not touch at all. He licked the corner of his mouth: “It’s too expensive, and a horned eagle is worth a hundred, and now this little thing can’t do anything. I You have to raise her for at least a few years, so, thirty.”

   “Thirty, thirty?” The woman was trembling and almost fainted.

“Just thirty! Do you sell it?”

“One hundred and fifty carats! That is ten golden mira, I bought it!” Lu Xi said as he walked over.

“Ten golden mira?” The woman looked at Landing as if she couldn’t believe her ears.

“Boy, don’t worry about it!” The man stared fiercely at Lu Xi who came over.

“What’s wrong, she is ready to sell, and I want to buy it. If you want to buy it, you sell more than me?”

   The man looked up and down at each other to make sure that he had not seen the teenager in any social occasion. It must be the children of a small nobleman in the country who came to the capital to play, and I do n’t know if the sky is thick.

“My brother-in-law is a senator, where are you mixing?”

“Well,” Lu Xi tilted her head and thought for a while, “Surely it is the follower of the goddess Nadia.”

“Ignorant redneck, you dare to play me …” The man jumped violently, he opened his mouth just to start scolding but couldn’t help but stop because Lu Xi had already put the staff into the other’s mouth.

“You said, should I put a sour arrow or a fireball at this time?” Lu Xi asked with a smile, but the cold in his eyes had been completely seen by the other party.

“Woooooooooooooooooooooooo!” The man grumbled, his legs began to swing. As for the driver, he was already paralyzed to the side. He was just a servant, and the struggle between the magician and the powerful dandy was a legendary “fairy fight” for him, just don’t drag yourself into it.

Opposite the gate of the military department, the two guards seemed to turn a blind eye and stood like a statue. At this time, the door opened, and Arantis just came out and saw the situation here at a glance.

“Lucy? What are you doing?”

“No, I’m just seriously discussing the ownership of the goods with others.”

Alantis looked at the trembling man, his face suddenly showed a contemptuous smile: “Toru, is this you again?”

“Oh, do you know him? He is a senator’s uncle, really a noble big man.” Lu Xi smiled and finally withdrew his staff.

The man named Toru knelt on the ground, breathing heavily, and sweating all over his face. He raised his head and looked at Arantis, revealing a pleading look.

“Sir Arantis …”

“It’s not too fast! I don’t think the face I lost to your sister-in-law is enough!”

Torru was relieved, and he climbed up and down the carriage, and disappeared as soon as he slipped away. Lu Xi looked at the stunned mother and daughter next to him, and suddenly stretched out her hand to Arantis.

“Lend me ten gold coins.”

“what?”

“I will definitely pay it back.”

Alantis looked at the mother and daughter, and it seemed clear. He took a money bag from his arms and put it in Lu Xi’s hands.

“Is there more than ten gold coins here?”

   “You can buy something for the rest. In contrast, I will not give you your birthday present.”

“Uh?”

“Did you not say that you just had your 17th birthday. It should be reasonable to say that as a friend, but I really have no time to prepare, so I have to make up the money, don’t be surprised.”

Lu Xi shrugged, took ten gold coins from the purse, and stuffed them into the woman’s hands.

“Take these and go to the countryside to buy a few acres of land, or do some small business. Don’t sell your daughter anymore.”

“Thank you, thank you …” The woman pulled the little girl and knelt down on the ground. “Thank you, Master, you are such a great person. Thank you, Miss, you are kind and beautiful, you are an angel. The goddess will surely bless you . “

In the second half of the sentence, thank you, Lu Xi’s face has turned blue and red for a while, but it is really difficult to distinguish, so I had to hear it.

Lu Xi walked to the side of Arantis and threw the wallet back.

“I will return the ten gold coins just now, and I will have to make up for the birthday gift when I find it.”

Arantis could not help laughing, UU reading www. uukanshu.com He took the money bag and saw that Lu Xi was standing on the spot, the complex expression watching the mother and daughter’s back disappeared slightly at the end of the street.

“Don’t think about it. This kind of thing can happen in every city in the Federation. You can help one person, but not everyone.”

“The situation is like this, I don’t feel arrogant enough to think that I can help everyone. I’m just a little puzzled … The houses around you will be a rich area at a glance, right?”

“Well, that’s true. But it’s still not the most top-class residential area.” Arantis pointed to a hillside covered by lush woods in the distance. In the green gap, gorgeous houses were vaguely visible, ” Senior officials, parliamentarians, chaebol heads live there. They are the real rulers of the Federation. However, the entire area there is under the heavy protection of the guards, but it is not the mother and daughter who can just enter. A place to go. “

Speaking of this, Arantis could not help but sneer: “Artificially delineated himself and the people out of the area, artificially created a high-level overlook of the superior people, this is the so-called kingdom of heaven, the truth of federal democratic politics.”

“Why didn’t Master Messenger live there? He was a high official who couldn’t be taller.”

Alan spread his hands and said: “Everyone who lives there is an enemy of the teacher. The teacher himself said that his skin is not thick enough to be a neighbor with a group of enemies, and he said” Good morning “with a fake smile every day.”

Lu Xi looked at the distant mountain and looked at the humble, federal mansion ’s mansion next to him, and he could not help but smile with a poof: “Sure enough, this house is more pleasing to the eye.”

Alan also smiled: “The teacher will be very happy to hear you say this, please come with me.”
