"Why? Life never needs so many reasons."

Mu Ling stood up as she spoke. Lin Xia kept her eyes on Mu Ling as she stepped back step by step.

Seeing Lin Xia's vigilant look, Mu Ling's smile widened, "Catch him."

Mu Ling waved her hand, and several people came out from behind Mu Ling and Lin Xia, completely blocking the roads in front and behind the alley.

Lin Xia was on guard around him. Several people rushed up. Lin Xia avoided them, pulled the people behind him, and threw them to Mu Ling's side.

There was a vacancy here, and Lin Xia rushed out immediately. Several people also stood firm and chased after him.

Mu Ling looked at the backs of the people leaving, smiled and sat back in her chair.

Lin Xia rushed out of the alley. Although there were many alleys here, there were actually not many people here. Any slight sound would be easily heard.

Lin Xia came to an intersection and heard footsteps approaching her. This time, she didn't know how much preparation Mu Ling had made, so Lin Xia could only run towards the side where there was no sound.

Lin Xia kept moving forward, but it turned out to be a dead end. Lin Xia stopped. In the quiet environment, Lin Xia could even hear her own breathing.

However, the sound behind was getting closer and closer. Lin Xia thought about it, stepped back a distance, took a run-up and jumped, then directly climbed over the wall and got out.

"Ouch!"

An old voice sounded, and Lin Xia was startled. Feeling something soft under his feet, Lin Xia suspected that he had hit someone.

Lin Xia looked down anxiously and saw a huge black plastic bag. She looked next to her and saw an old man sitting in the corner, probably scared by herself.

Lin Xia was relieved to see that she didn't hurt anyone.

"Young man, what are you doing?" The old man came up immediately and looked at Lin Xia strangely.

"Uh, no, it's okay." Lin Xia waved her hand. Then, realizing she had never been here before, she immediately asked, "Um, old man, where is this place?"

"This is all outside the city." The old man was packing his things. His face was dirty and his original appearance could not be seen, but the clothes on his body... did not look too bad.

Lin Xia was a little skeptical, but this was a small matter that she didn't care about. She just said, "Thank you, old man."

After saying that, Lin Xia headed towards the mountain. The old man looked at the direction Lin Xia left, smiled, and sighed, "Young people nowadays are so energetic."

After Lin Xia walked for a distance and completely disappeared from the old man's sight, she immediately changed her direction.

The mine is probably also being targeted. Lin Xia can't go back now, but has to find another place to stay.

Finally, Lin Xia went around and returned to the city, where he became a small vendor on the outskirts.

The most common thing sold on the streets here is stones. Originally, I brought a few stones to sell just to show off, but now, they have become my daily necessities.

Lin Xia sighed, this world is really wonderful.

No one was selling things late at night and everyone had gone home. Lin Xia went to the garbage dump, picked up a few ragged clothes that were still decent and put them on, and then smeared her face a shade of yellow.

Lin Xia looked at her exposed skin, leaving no room for any more, and applied it all. Her mother's naturally fair skin was covered up by Lin Xia and turned into the wheat color she wanted most (it wasn't), but a little yellowish.

Looking at herself covered in dirt, Lin Xia was quite satisfied. After all, this way she could effectively hide herself.

Lin Xia felt that it was almost time and was about to leave when she touched her own soft hair. Lin Xia immediately stopped and thought about it before rubbing it, even making it look like it had not been washed for several days.

Lin Xia, feeling quite satisfied with herself, finally found a place to set up a tent and rest.

Many people set up tents here to rest. They can't afford to rent houses in the city, so they can only set up tents here.

There are often new people coming to set up the shed, and old people leaving and leaving the shed to the new people.

Few people noticed Lin Xia's arrival, and she easily blended in with these "homeless people."

The stone that Lin Xia originally brought to the auction was a bit too conspicuous. Now that it looked like this, Lin Xia felt it should be a bit more ordinary.

When everyone went out to set up stalls in the morning, Lin Xia ran to the garbage dump again. After searching around for a long time, he found a few useless stones.

Even the homeless people who were rummaging through the garbage dump for food thought Lin Xia was a fool. They wondered what good stones could be found in such a garbage dump and thought Lin Xia was just daydreaming.

However, no one reminded Lin Xia. Their lives were already so hard, so they naturally wouldn't remind an unrelated person to improve their lives. That would only make them feel unbalanced.

Lin Xia mixed the useless stones he found at the garbage dump with the ore he brought with him.

It was already noon when Lin Xia finally came out to set up her stall with her goods.

Lin Xia's sales methods were ordinary, and few people bought her things throughout the day.

Lin Xia saw that it was getting dark, and everyone had packed up their stalls, so she also started to work quickly.

The light in front suddenly dimmed. Lin Xia frowned, looked up, and saw a familiar face.

It wasn't Mu Ling, but the old man he met outside the city yesterday. The old man was staring at the bag in Lin Xia's hand.

Lin Xia tightened the thing in her hand, "Is there something wrong?" Lin Xia looked at the person in front of her suspiciously.

The old man kept staring at the bag in Lin Xia's hand, "How much is it?"

"Ah?" Lin Xia doubted her ears. Although the stereotype was not good, when Lin Xia looked at the old man's dirty appearance, she always felt that someone with such an image would not buy stones.

"I want them all." The old man said seriously, his eyes still fixed on the bag Lin Xia was holding, without blinking.

Lin Xia tightened her grip, "Grandpa, do you really want it?"

"Yeah." The old man nodded firmly.

Lin Xia was afraid that she was being cheated, so she reminded him, "Once you sell it, it will not be returned."

"No problem, no problem, give it to me." The old man was a little impatient. Seeing that he really wanted it, Lin Xia sold it to him half-believingly.

The old man walked away with the bag, leaving Lin Xia confused. They were just a few broken stones, what good could they be?

Lin Xia comes here to sell stones every two days, and the old man also always comes to sell stones to Lin Xia. Lin Xia doesn’t understand, but there is no dispute between the two of them. Maybe they really love stones.

On this day, the old man had not arrived yet, but he was standing alone in front of Lin Xia's stall.

Lin Xia looked up and saw a familiar face. The girl was staring at a stone on the ground.
