The wonderful world of fast time travel

Chapter 126

In the long night, the north wind blew harshly.

Rows of bare tree trunks on the street are covered with layers of colored lights, twinkling like stars falling into the mortal world, and like celestial maidens scattering flowers, adding some colorful colors to this monotonous winter.

The dazzling and colorful fiery trees and silver flowers attracted Zheng Ling's full attention. For a moment, he forgot all the people around him, couldn't help but approach them, and stopped to admire them without distracting thoughts.

Seeing this scene, Yan Yan, who wanted to follow up, suddenly stopped, took out his mobile phone to adjust his position, found a gap with few passers-by, quickly pressed the shutter button of the mobile phone, and this moment was frozen from now on.

After a while, the two continued to walk slowly along the long market, and were soon submerged in the vast sea of ​​people.

Seeing the huge clock on the top of the landmark building in front of him reach 08:30, Zheng Ling knew that he had to catch the bus home, so he turned his head and said, "It's eight o'clock, how about..." before he spoke Halfway through, Zheng Ling suddenly stopped, staring at a person walking past Yan Yan.

Yan Yan noticed something strange, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Zheng Ling expressed the doubts in his heart, pointed to the man in front of him who shrugged and lowered his head and looked around from time to time, and said, "I always think that man is a bit strange."

Yan Yan looked in the direction of his finger, then frowned, and suggested, "Do you want to follow me?" He is not a meddlesome person, but he wants to stay with Zheng Ling for a while.

Zheng Ling had this intention, but reminded: "Aren't you in a hurry to go back?"

Yan Yan smiled and said: "I'm not in a hurry at this moment, no matter how bad it is, will you still be there?"

Seeing that Yan Yan did not alienate himself, Zheng Ling suddenly relaxed, nodded, and followed the man together with Yan Yan.

The two of them kept a close distance from the man along the way. In order not to lose track, Zheng Ling even called Golden Phoenix to pay attention, just in case.

The golden phoenix, who was having fun, was naturally not very happy, but he had no choice but to call it Zheng Ling if he had something to do. The golden phoenix's principle was: the sky is big and the earth is big, and Zheng Ling's business is the biggest.So it flew over obediently and complained a few words.

Zheng Ling knew that he had disturbed Jin Fenghuang's interest, so he coaxed: "I will accompany you out to play some other day, and you can play as long as you want."

Jin Fenghuang wiped his slump away and cheered up: "That's what you said."

Zheng Ling nodded: "I said so."

The golden phoenix flapped its wings cheerfully, jumped up, and flew over the man's head, like a big light bulb, illuminating Zheng Ling in the crowd.It made Zheng Ling suspicious, but it was very curious about what this person wanted to do next.

After following for about five or six minutes, passing through layers of crowds, the man came to an old alley where pedestrians seldom set foot. Through the dim street lights, he could see that the ground was potholed, and there were many debris piled up on both sides of the road. There is a public toilet that has been abandoned for a long time, and the drain pipe has been yellowed for a long time.Looking around, the rows of outdoor air-conditioning units in large shopping malls hanging on the walls of the alley are all turning.

As soon as he took a step, Zheng Ling and Yan Yan retreated vigilantly. As expected, the man turned his head and glanced at the entrance of the alley.

Everyone has chased here, if they lose track at this time, all their previous work will be in vain, Zheng Ling hurriedly asked Jin Fenghuang to report the situation.

Jin Fenghuang broadcast live: "The man is still in this alley, he hasn't left, he is pulling out his mobile phone, it looks like he wants to call someone."

Yan Yan didn't know what was going on, and was about to poke his head out to see if the man had left, but was dragged back by Zheng Ling, who had sharp eyesight and quick hands.Just at this moment, the man's quiet voice came from the alley.

"Hey, I'm here, come out quickly"

Since they were standing at an intersection, and they didn't know which direction the other party was coming from, Zheng Ling poked Yan Yan's arm with his left hand, pointed to the opposite side with his right hand, and silently mouthed: "Go there first and wait. "

Yan Yan understood, and he and Zheng Ling quietly left here temporarily and walked to the opposite corner.

One minute later, someone opened the anti-theft door and walked out from the employee passageway of another shopping mall. Zheng Ling and Yan Yan listened with bated breath, but the footsteps came straight through the alley, coming towards them, getting louder and louder. Nearly, just a few seconds before the visitor appeared, Zheng Ling didn't have time to ask Jin Fenghuang, so he quickly turned his head to support the wall, bent down, pretended to be drunk and vomited.

The strict reaction was also very sensitive, and he immediately turned sideways and patted Zheng Ling's back, and said with a reproachful face: "I told you not to drink, you just want to show off, this is all right, suffer."

What answered him was another voice from Zheng Ling: "Ouch!"

At the same time, the visitor happened to turn around, and without any precautions, he was really shocked when he heard someone talking suddenly.

While petting, Yan Yan looked at the person from the corner of his eye. He was a middle-aged man in his 40s, holding a shopping bag in his hand, which contained two of the most popular small plush toys.

Seeing this, Yan Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm sorry for scaring you."

"That's nothing." The visitor generously didn't mind the matter, and just glanced at them up and down, and was about to leave, but couldn't help but say a few words: "You should drink less wine when you are young." Carrying the bag, he continued to walk quickly to the bustling street, where someone was waiting for him at the moment.

Zheng Ling straightened up, turned around, and looked at the man's back. At this moment, Yan Yan suddenly whispered: "Someone is here again."

Zheng Ling quickly calmed down, pretended to be drunk just now, and concentrated on listening.This time, the sound of footsteps disappeared only in the middle of the journey, apparently entering another alley, and then there was the faint voice of someone talking, which was intermittent and inaudible, and it was inconvenient for Jin Fenghuang to disclose the content of the conversation.

Yan Yan had the guts to say softly to Zheng Ling, "I'll go over there and have a look." After saying that, he was already close to the opposite wall they had been tracking before, but when he turned his back to the wall, Zheng Ling also He has followed on tiptoe.

Frowning severely, he whispered, "Go back."

Zheng Ling shook his head. Seeing this, Yan Yan had no choice but to move closer and whispered, "If we are discovered, you run away first and leave me alone, you know?" For unknown dangers, no one cares about guarantees.

Zheng Ling replied without thinking: "Let's go together."

Yan Yan wanted to say more, Zheng Ling suddenly raised his index finger and put it in front of his lips to "shh", and fixed his gaze on a certain place.

In the alley, the conversation between the two became louder and louder, and a dispute arose.

"Didn't we agree before, why did you go back on your word?"

"Who told you to pay only this little?"

"It's all my savings."

"It seems that you would rather go to jail than pay back the money?"

"No, I can't go to jail..."

"Then you have to pay all the money at once. I only give you five days. Don't blame me for being cruel."

"I don't have that much money."

"That's your business, I don't care, who told you to damage my antique vase when you were riding a bicycle, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky."

"That's because you rushed up suddenly."

"That's enough. My patience is very limited. If it weren't for the fact that your family is really poor, I can only pay you so little?"

"Can you give me some more time? I...I'm borrowing from a friend."

"That's about the same, but you have to urge them to hurry up, or if I change my mind again and want you to compensate at the original price, it's very possible."

"No, I... I will pay it back as soon as possible. By the way, this is my living expenses of 200 yuan for this month. You take it first." There was a rustling voice as she spoke.

"You can keep this money and send it to beggars."

"……I"

"Okay, I don't have time to talk to you. I have also invited a few antique dealers to look at the goods. You can figure it out yourself."

Hearing this, I almost understood the whole story, Zheng Ling walked out gracefully: "Wait a minute"
