The father of the Beijing circle asked to recognize me, and then scolded me for leaking air

Beside the highway, an old lady sat on the ground, slapping her thighs and crying out, "God damn pickpocket! Come and catch the pickpocket! Come and catch the thief!"

Jiang Tiange was very puzzled. It was only her first day in North City, and she had already run into two thieves.

The security here can't be that bad, right? Why is it that wherever she goes, there are thieves to catch?

Although Jiang Tiange was puzzled, he did not slow down in chasing the thief.

When the thief saw someone chasing him, he turned around and ran into the alley.

The alleys in the north city twist and turn like a maze. Jiang Tiange cursed inwardly and didn't care about anything else, and continued to run to catch up.

This thief should be very familiar with the terrain and layout of the surrounding area. Seeing Jiang Tiange chasing him closely, he took out something and threw it behind him. Taking advantage of the moment when Jiang Tiange was distracted and dodged, he quickly jumped over the wall to the other side.

Jiang Tiange wanted to climb over the wall and chase after him, but was stopped by Lu Xuwen who came after him.

“Forget it, I can’t catch you.” Lu Xuwen grew up playing in the alleys, and he knew that in these alleys, if you weren’t looking in the blink of an eye, you could disappear without a trace.

What's more, this thief had obviously prepared a retreat in advance.

"This should be what he stole." Lu Xuwen picked up the cloth bag that the thief had just thrown away and handed it to Jiang Tiange.

Jiang Tiange was still frowning and looking at the wall, feeling a little unwilling, but now the thief had already run away, so there was nothing she could do. She didn't take the cloth bag and let Lu Xuwen take it.

Lu Xuwen held the cloth bag, looked at Jiang Tiange, and said with emotion: "You run so fast, I almost couldn't catch up with you."

Jiang Tiange glanced at him and really wanted to say to him, "You didn't catch up in the first place, okay?" However, thinking that she still needed his help, she didn't expose him.

Although Jiang Tiange didn't want to admit it, the fact was that she had a poor sense of direction.

Normally when she goes to a new place, she will pay attention to the signs on both sides of the road to avoid getting lost. But just now she was so focused on chasing the thief that she didn't bother to recognize the road signs. If she were to walk out alone, she didn't know how long it would take her to get there.

Looking at the alley ahead that forked and turned, Jiang Tiange blinked, looked at Lu Xuwen, and suggested:

"Let's go back together. Your friend should still be waiting for you at the entrance of Yudefang."

Lu Xuwen didn't realize Jiang Tiange's intention. He nodded in agreement and humbly asked Jiang Tiange to walk in front.

Jiang Tiange had no choice but to walk side by side with him. Whenever they reached a fork in the road, she would quietly slow down her pace and let Lu Xuwen move first. In this way, the two of them became a very harmonious and tacit walking partner.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, it is another matter.

Nowadays, although men and women no longer have to walk two or three meters apart like in previous years, they still pay attention to the proper manners when interacting with each other.

Generally speaking, a man and a woman walking side by side are either relatives or in a relationship.

He casually raised his eyes and saw the figure in front of him, but Lu Zhengxi didn't take it seriously.

Just as he was about to look away, he fixed his eyes on the two figures on the side of the road. One of the two figures was his nephew.

The other one was the one he had been wary of just a few hours ago.

How did they get together? Did they know each other before? Or did they just meet today?

A jeep drove up the fork in the road. Jiang Tiange and Lu Xuwen stood aside, wanting to wait for the car to pass before they could move on.

However, the jeep stopped in front of the two men.

Jiang Tiange was just wondering when the passenger window rolled down.

The man behind the car window was wearing a military uniform and had a stern face.

"Uncle Nine!"

Jiang Tiange looked at the people in the car.

He was the handsome soldier I met at Cangnan Railway Station.

He was also the one who targeted her as if she were a thief.

Uncle Nine?

Jiang Tiange's gaze was on Lu Zhengxi. Was he the man that Lu Xuwen and the others had been talking about so loudly in Yudefang just now?

After staring at Lu Zhengxi for a while, Jiang Tiange looked at Lu Xuwen who was beside him with a surprised look on his face. Are they uncle and nephew? Judging from their appearance, their ages don't seem to be much different.

"What are you doing?"

As he was muttering to himself, a sudden voice frightened Jiang Tiange so much that his heart trembled.

His voice was deep and pleasant to the ears, but his tone was not very friendly. It was questioning and his intonation was cold, as if he was acting like an elder.

Jiang Tiange curled his lips slightly.

He is not her uncle, and his eldership attitude is useless to her.

Lu Xuwen said excitedly: "Uncle Jiu! You're back! We were just catching a thief! Look, this is what the thief stole, and we got it back!"

Catch a thief?

Lu Zhengxi frowned slightly. He had already caught someone once at the train station, and now he was catching someone again? Are thieves so rampant?

Meeting Lu Zhengxi's gaze, Jiang Tiange looked back calmly and responded to his confusion with his eyes: I am also wondering.

"Uncle Jiu, where are you going now? Home? Let me go with you." Lu Xuwen said as he was about to open the back door of the car.

Seeing him about to get in the car, Jiang Tiange's eyes widened slightly, and he quickly pulled him back, "Didn't you just say you wanted to go back to Yudefang? Your friends are still waiting for you!"

Lu Xuwen smiled and said, "I won't go over there. I want to go home with my uncle! If they are still there when you go over there, please tell them for me."

Jiang Tiange: “…”

How could she find her way around this maze-like alley alone?

Moreover, I don’t know if everyone nearby has gone to work or just doesn’t like to go out for a stroll. I looked around and didn’t see anyone I could ask for directions.

Lu Zhengxi glanced at the arms that were held together, then at Jiang Tiange's face. He understood what was going on. He frowned and said in silence, "Come up together."

Lu Xuwen got into the car first, then turned back to call Jiang Tiange, "Comrade Jiang, come on up, where are you going? I can let my uncle take you there!"

Seeing this, Jiang Tiange did not refuse. He thanked Lu Zhengxi and got into the car.

After sitting down, she said, "Please just take me back to Yudefang." She had already memorized the way from Yudefang to the guesthouse, so she could go back by herself.

Lu Zhengxi just asked the driver to drive and did not respond to Jiang Tiange's words. Jiang Tiange did not say anything else and stared quietly out the window.

After the car started, Lu Xuwen leaned over the front passenger seat, eager to reminisce with his uncle, his mouth talking like a machine gun.

Lu Zhengxi sat in the co-pilot seat. Lu Xuwen got in first and sat on the left side of the back seat. Jiang Tiange got in later and sat on the right side of the back seat, directly behind the co-pilot seat.

Because Lu Xuwen was lying on the passenger seat, most of his body was lying in front of Jiang Tiange.
