On the day she wore the book, she was hunted down with three oceans in her hand

On the majestic and vast city wall, soldiers of the Four Elephant Army were standing, squatting, or leaning against the city wall.

Their eyes were bored and fell on the bustling streets of Green City. They whispered a few words in a low voice from time to time, appearing very idle.

Both sides of the street are lined with old-fashioned Western-style buildings and shops. The setting sun shines on the red bricks and green tiles, which is so beautiful.

The streets are crowded with people, and occasionally the penetrating shouts of vendors can be heard, which is very different from that in a small city.

There are buses and rickshaws on the road. The rickshaw drivers' faces are filled with sweat and hope for life. From time to time, one or two cars roar past. Accompanied by the wanton and unrestrained laughter of the young master and the soft cooing of women, it is a state of intoxication.

On the other side, echoing this kind of revelry, are the shacks erected on both sides of the road and in the alleys.

Obviously, they are not the only ones who can enter Green City. Some refugees who still have some money on them are also trying their best to get a foothold in Green City. At least they will be protected by city walls and have a better chance of survival. .

"Is this the provincial capital?" Tan Xiaoxiao's voice was curious and her eyes were filled with confusion.

As the first wife of a wealthy family in the countryside, if it hadn't been for the war, she might never have traveled so far in her life. She could only wait quietly at home to see when the man would think of her.

Thinking of this, Tan Xiaoxiao's eyes dimmed for a moment, but he could only cheer up. After all, he had to face it after all.

Chen Yi didn't care what Tan Xiaoxiao thought, and said to Yunchu again: "I'm exhausted, let's take a rickshaw? My home is still on Northwest Street, which is far away from here. If I really walk there, my hands will break from exhaustion, do you believe it?" "

Listening to Chen Yi's exaggerated words, Yun Chu laughed again and reached out to stop three rickshaws.

Chen Yi smiled and gave Yun Chu another "You are very smart" expression. She happily got into the car. As soon as the rattan box filled with gold was placed on the car, she hurriedly shook her sour arms and poured it out when she took it. I don’t feel tired, I really can’t stand it now.

When the rickshaw driver saw that he was pulling a beautiful woman, he became more energetic and shuttled through the bustling streets. About twenty minutes later, he arrived at the Northwest Street that Chen Yi mentioned. The Western-style buildings here were newer than those at the city gate. .

"Let's go." As soon as he got off the car, Chen Yi was like a bird out of its cage, with a smile on his face.

This is a brand new apartment-style building. When the surrounding neighbors saw so many beautiful girls suddenly arriving, they couldn't open their eyes. Although Chen Yi was the head of the household here, he knew at a glance that he would not live here forever.

She took the lead to go upstairs, and Yun Chu and Tan Xiaoxiao followed her to the third floor.

Chen Yi opened the door and walked in first. He looked at the two people following him and said with a smile: "The house is a bit small. Don't find it objectionable. I worked a lot to earn money to buy it. The place is hidden. No one else knows.”

Yunchu put the rattan box down again and asked, "Your brother doesn't live here either?"

The smile on Chen Yi's face faded: "He lives on campus, so only Greentown University is more secure and will not be caught by those people. Living here will make it easier for his whereabouts to be exposed. Ayun, you don't know Pan Xianshuo at all." means."

Mentioning this person, the original joy of returning home disappeared, and Chen Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Okay, you all sit down and I'll clean up." Chen Yi stepped forward and lifted the white cloth covering the sofa. Smoke billowed out. She coughed and waved her hand, indicating that Yun Chu and Tan Xiaoxiao should sit down again, while she was busy Get busy.

Tan Xiaoxiao felt a little absent-minded after sitting down, and his eyes wandered back and forth to the already dark sky.

Yunchu thought for a while and looked at Chen Yi: "I wonder if Kang Le Department Store is still open at this time?"

Chen Yi knew the elegant meaning after hearing the sound of the string. She turned around and glanced at Tan Xiaoxiao who was worried, clapped her hands and said, "Of course it's open. Connaught Department Store is Greentown's signature store and it's also open in the evening. Why don't we send Sister Xiaoxiao there first?" "

Yun Chu raised her eyebrows again, and instantly received the hint from Chen Yi's wink. Obviously, she wanted to watch the fun.

Tan Xiaoxiao waved her hands quickly: "I can find it myself, so I don't need to trouble you."

Hearing this, Chen Yi frowned and said sternly: "How can that be done? We can be regarded as sharing weal and woe. Greentown is safe on the surface, but there will be gunfights from time to time at night. If we don't send you there, you Can you do it on your own? We finally got to Green City. If something happens, wouldn’t all our efforts be wasted?”

Upon seeing this, Tan Xiaoxiao showed a touched look on his face, and then whispered: "Xiaoyi, thank you."

After thanking her, she couldn't help biting her lip: "Actually, I'm a little scared. I've experienced so much during this period. Le'er... is gone. My mother-in-law has also lost her. Now I am the only one who comes to Green City. I don’t know how to explain it.”

Chen Yi's eyes showed compassion. In fact, she had already learned about Tan Xiaoxiao's past on the way.

The reason why she wanted to follow her was indeed to watch the fun, but more importantly, she wanted to protect her. This kind-hearted woman was almost stupid. She didn't believe that Lu Zonghang could really treat her wholeheartedly. Otherwise, why didn't he come back for so long? Home?

Thinking of this, Chen Yi scolded: "What is there to explain? He is a man. Not only did he fail to protect his wife and children, but he also stayed here and lived a prosperous life. This alone is disgusting enough. He also Explain? There is no future!"

Tan Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly and glanced at Chen Yi with envy.

If she could be as open-minded as the latter, her future life would not be much smoother.

Yun Chu had no objection to this. She still valued Tan Xiaoxiao very much. After all, this was her investment. After finally coming to Greentown, she was about to see a return, but she must not let anything happen. She said: "Let's go."

Chen Yi chuckled and stepped forward to hold Yun Chu's arm: "Let's go shopping at the Leisure Department Store, just in time to buy some daily necessities. Ayun, Sister Xiaoxiao and I are very poor. We will have to pay the bills later. .”

Yun Chu chuckled again, and Qing Lingling's voice was particularly pleasant: "You, the host, are so clean."

The three of them went out chatting and laughing and hailed the rickshaw.

Kang Le Department Store is a well-known landmark department store building in Greentown, and Northwest Street is a relatively stable residence for petty bourgeoisie. The two sides are not far apart. The rickshaw quickly took the three of them to Kang Le Department Store.

The Kang Le Department Store has a complete range of goods, and there is a dazzling array of foreign goods from various countries at high prices. Although it is already evening, there are many wealthy people coming to shop. They come in rickshaws and attract a lot of disdainful looks.

Chen Yi snorted, not bothering to pay attention to the looks, and got out of the car after paying a dime.

Yunchu vaguely remembered the original owner's visit to the Connaught Department Store. Looking at the very low-key and luxurious department store in front of him, he raised the corner of his lips and let Chen Yi take her arm and lead her inside.
