"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane has landed at B City Airport, with an outside temperature of eighteen degrees Celsius. The plane is taxiing... See you next trip!"
The plane had landed. Jian Xi quickly passed the two people next to her, grabbed her own luggage, rushed to the very front of the economy cabin, and lined up in the first place. When it was time for the economy cabin to disembark after the first class passengers had all gotten off, she dashed off like a wisp of smoke.
The flight attendants looked at each other. They hadn't even properly thanked the little girl yet, so how could she have run off like that!
The male student who had been saved had the same thoughts as the flight attendants. He had just grabbed his bag and turned around, and his lifesaver was already rushing out!
This...
Because Jian Xi ran very fast, the first class passengers had only walked halfway down the jet bridge when they suddenly felt a gust of wind and a figure flashed before their eyes.
Everyone paused in their steps, especially Shen Xiaoheng, who had originally wanted to wait at the front for Jian Xi and get to know her. He came to a complete halt and watched Jian Xi's back with regret.
At this moment, his cell phone, which he had just turned on not long ago, rang. He took it out and glanced at the screen, which displayed "He Qingchen."
He tapped to answer. "Hello, Qingchen. The plane just landed. I'll go to the old residence to see Grandfather's condition tonight, but you need to be prepared. Grandfather's condition has deteriorated by the day over the past few days. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for much longer."
...
Jian Xi ran all the way from the subway station without any change in her breathing rate.
She found a subway route map and glanced at the routes on it. She tapped her thumb on her other fingers a few times, and the corners of her lips curved up as she murmured, "Line 6, it's you. Let's go!"
While waiting in line for the Line 6 subway, Jian Xi took out her phone to check the time.
18:35.
She had already eaten the in-flight meal on the plane, so she wasn't very hungry now. She decided to find a hostel to stay first when she arrived, and then make plans afterwards.
Unfortunately, she didn't expect that B City was much more prosperous than Z City. Small hostels were very hard to find, and consumer prices in B City were more than double those in Z City!
After getting out of the subway station, Jian Xi looked around for a long time but couldn't find a small hostel.
Hugging her luggage, she squatted on the curb in front of a hotel, fiddling with three small pebbles in her hand that she didn't know where they came from. Her little face was wrinkled up, "That can't be right. The oracle said it was definitely southwest. So why can't I find it?"
When she was at the subway station, she had divined that she wouldn't have to spend the night on the streets if she went southwest tonight.
But she had already walked for nearly three hours and still hadn't found lodging under eighty yuan!
And right behind her, even the cheapest room in this hotel cost one hundred and eighty!
"Oh!" Jian Xi heaved a deep sigh, threw away the pebbles in her hand, stood up, swung her luggage over her shoulder, dusted off her hands, and prepared to continue walking southwest, because her divination had never been wrong before!
Suddenly, she remembered the blonde foreigner and cheered herself on, "Southwest, go!"
But she had just taken two steps when there was a bang, and the door of the hotel behind her was smashed open.
A man who had armed himself heavily with a mask and hat ran out. The moonlight glinted off something silver in his hand that flashed in Jian Xi's eyes.
It was a knife!
The man hadn't gotten very far when a woman chased out of the hotel behind him, shouting loudly, "Robbery! Robbery!"
Jian Xi recognized the woman as the hotel owner.
The man seemed to want to escape as quickly as possible, so he brandished the knife in his hand while shouting at passersby, "Get out of the way!"
When the pedestrians saw that the man had a knife, they all fled far away.
The man was running in the direction where Jian Xi was standing. A kind-hearted auntie hiding to the side loudly warned her, "Young lady, hurry and get away! What he's holding is a knife!"
Jian Xi didn't move and gently said, "I know, thank you, auntie!"
The auntie thought Jian Xi hadn't heard her words clearly, and was about to shout at her again to get away when she saw Jian Xi walk forward and actually go to meet the armed thug!
"Little girl, come back, he has a knife. That's a knife!"
The auntie's words had just fallen when she saw Jian Xi dodge the man's knife swing, grab his wrist holding the knife, twist it lightly, and the knife in the man's hand fell to the ground, accompanied by a painful cry!
Not far away, the auntie saw this and secretly ran over from the lamppost, kicking the knife on the ground far away, then quickly running back to her original position.
The reason was simple. She didn't want her old bones to drag the little girl down. This thug was so big, if he pushed her even a little, it would be enough to do her in!
Jian Xi's eyes didn't miss the auntie's actions. She couldn't help laughing out loud. This auntie was just too cute!
The man whose wrist was being clamped was focused on the pain in his wrist and naturally didn't notice the auntie's actions.
Hearing Jian Xi's laugh, he suddenly felt that she was insulting him. A grown man like himself was actually being subdued by a little girl who could fit two of him. This was simply trampling his face on the ground and grinding it forcefully!
A huge humiliation! A huge humiliation!
If this got out, how could he continue mixing in the 'jianghu' after this!
But before he could finish his inner monologue, he heard Jian Xi lightly say,
"I see in your face that you will suffer prison today. You can't escape. We can be considered to have an affinity. Let me point you to the right path. Three years and seven months after you get out of prison, go to the construction sites in the eastern suburbs, any site in the eastern suburbs will do. There is work for you there, moving bricks is the only job in your life where you can earn money! You are born stupid, don't think about shady ways, you are not suited for this kind of brain work!"
The man was puzzled and subconsciously asked, "Does it have to be moving bricks? Won't other jobs do?"
Jian Xi shook her head. "No, your Fate Palace has damaged flaws, indicating a life of poverty and setbacks, and your Wealth Palace is also blackish green, destined for no great fortune in this life."
The man became a little anxious. "Is there really no way to change this?"
"There is!" Jian Xi calmly replied.
The man's eyes lit up. "What method?"
"By..." Jian Xi paused for a moment, and the man unconsciously held his breath.
After a while, Jian Xi opened her lips and uttered two words: "Moving bricks!"
