038 Kerman City Night

When the long-distance bus arrived in Kerman City, it was late at night with a high crescent moon.

The scale of this city is slightly smaller than that of Azd, but the area of ​​ruins outside the city wall is much larger. This shows that in the old era, the scale of Kerman was larger than that of Azd, and at the end of the old era

Amid the turmoil, the city of Kerman may have also suffered more turmoil and destruction.

The long-distance station is in the city, close to the edge of the city wall, but there are not many pedestrians nearby. The street lights separated by dozens of meters cannot dispel the darkness. Therefore, standing on the street outside the station, you can see many people.

But it's hard to see their faces clearly.

Hilaria stood there, completely unsure of where to go next. She could only turn her head and look at Li Yu.

"Mr. Li, where are we going now?"

Li Yu: "Find a place to stay for one night and hit the road tomorrow. By the way, are you still dizzy now?"

Hilelia smiled: "Just get off the car. And, thanks to you changing seats with me, I can open the window to let some air in, so I feel much more comfortable."

Li Yu: "That's good, let's find a hotel."

Hilaria nodded, but saw that Li Yu didn't move for a few seconds. So she immediately realized that finding a hotel should be her own task and part of the training of reality.

She raised her head and looked for a moment, pointed to the sign hanging on a building diagonally opposite, and said, "Sunset Hotel, do you want us to stay there tonight?"

Li Yu nodded and said: "You can take a look. But if the charge is too high, then it won't work. We have limited expenses, so we have to use it sparingly."

Hilelia hesitated for a moment and said: "I took off the jewelry, but I didn't lose it. It's still on me. If I sell it, I should be able to get a lot of money."

The girl's hand stretched out from the loose cuffs. In her white palm, she held a finely crafted gold necklace.

Li Yu immediately said: "Put it away quickly!"

Hilaria was stunned for a moment.

"Don't take out this kind of thing on the street, otherwise you will be easily spotted."

In Li Yu's childhood, he lived in an environment with no problems with public security. However, the elders in the family who had experienced bad public security periods reminded him of the old saying "don't reveal your wealth." But now, the level of public security is obviously not comparable to that of the 21st century.

Compared to the early golden years.

Hilelia quickly retracted her hand, looked around again, and found that several strangers seemed to be staring at her - they were all men, young adults.

The girl couldn't help but shudder.

Li Yu: "Let's go and check out the hotel first."

————

The price of this 'Sunset Hotel' is not expensive. Even booking two rooms is affordable, and the decoration of the lobby is not bad. Although it cannot be compared with the star-rated hotels of the old era, it is still affordable in Liyu.

Come here, it is clean and tidy with some unique little decorations. It feels like a B&B, and the scale is larger than the B&Bs in the old days.

The problem is, the hotel front desk said that all rooms are occupied.

When leaving the hotel, Li Yu sighed: "It's too late to arrive..."

When he didn't hear the girl's response, he turned around and saw Hilaria squatting on the side of the road.

There was a little girl lying on the side of the road.

The little girl was obviously less than ten years old. Her little body was twisted and she didn't know what disease she was suffering from. The night in the arid zone was quite cool, but the little girl's clothes were in tatters and her limbs were as thin as a hemp pole.

Almost all of it was exposed, and the clothes around her waist were also torn.

"Sister, beautiful big sister, can you help me..." the little girl moaned, staring straight at Hilaria with her eyes, so clear that she seemed ready to cry at any time.

Hilaria suddenly couldn't bear it.

The girl squatted on the side of the road, looking at the little girl lying next to her feet, and unconsciously clenched her hands.

The little girl was as docile as a puppy. She just raised her head and looked at her, and her voice became softer: "Sister, I haven't eaten in three days..."

Hilelia fumbled around and took out a wallet from her pocket. When she opened the wallet, there were many shiny silver coins inside, a dozen in total.

This amount of money is really nothing to a noble daughter, but to a kid on the street, it is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

The little girl's eyes lit up, she jumped up from the ground, grabbed her wallet, turned around and ran away.

That nimble and vigorous appearance does not look like that of a child who has been hungry for three days.

Seeing the thin figure who was about to rush into the alley, Hilelia was furious. A dozen silver coins were nothing, but the feeling of being deceived by someone as a fool was as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

Makes her sick.

Having said that, now that she is no longer a noble lady in the palace, is a dozen silver coins really nothing?

"Stop!"

Hilelia couldn't help shouting and chased towards the alley.

She rushed into the alley and saw the thin figure still running forward, but at a slower pace. Then the girl suddenly felt inspired and quickened her pace.

Closer, closer...

Seeing that there were only a few steps away from the little thief, Hilelia stretched out her hand. But the next moment, a wooden stick suddenly appeared in front of her calf.

Hilaria couldn't avoid it, tripped and fell forward.

The little girl also stopped and stopped running away. The next moment, the words that came out of her mouth made Hilelia feel cold all over.

"Dad, this fat sheep is rich. It will last for a long time! Oh, by the way, she is not only rich, but also quite beautiful. Could she be the daughter of a wealthy businessman?"

The girl stood up quickly, ignoring the pain of her arm falling to the ground.

Then I saw a man standing out from the shadows, holding a wooden stick. The man had a beard, a fierce look on his face, and his eyes showed the desire to see fat food.

That kind of desire is definitely not appetite.

The man is not very tall, and is about the same height as Hilelia. But just looking at the thickness of his arms and body is enough for Hilelia to confirm that a competition in strength will definitely not work. What's more, this guy's hands

There is also a wooden stick in it.

"Hey, what kind of serious woman would run into a hotel with a man at night? Let alone a wealthy businessman, what can she do if she is a noble lady?"

As he spoke, the guy laughed like a wild animal.

Hilelia swallowed, her heart pounding.

At this time, the light in the alley was quite dim. Except for the line of light coming from the alley entrance, there was only the moonlight shed by the crescent moon. This made Hilelia feel as if she would be enveloped in darkness the next moment.

Devour.

"I'm sorry, can you let me go? I'll give you money..."

Before the girl could finish her plea, she was interrupted by the man: "The wallet is already in our hands, what do you want to give us? Hey, hey, it doesn't matter if you can't get the money, come with me."

"No!" Hilelia roared, "stay away from me!"

Unfortunately, the girl's roar obviously lacked deterrence. The man, and the stick in his hand, were getting closer and closer to her.

Hilelia only felt that there was no light in front of her eyes, and the moon in the sky was blocked...

However, at the next moment, a figure fell from the roof next to the alley and landed right behind the villain. With just one knock, the villain fell to the ground.

Hilelia saw Li Yu's face.
