Chapter 219 Adoption
This restaurant is located in the city center, in a bustling and lively area.

Not far to the north is Jiayu Mountain, where all the people living are military personnel.

Others built adobe houses in Shannan, which were arranged in rows and columns, thus forming numerous streets and alleys.

But the street between Jiayu Mountain and the residential areas is the most spacious, long and wide, and cleaner and safer than other places.

Yan Luo lives here.

When I went out, I saw people selling things on the street.

“Fresh rice cake, sweet and sticky”

Yan Luo used three Soul Gathering Pills to buy a piece of rice cake.

Rice cake is made of glutinous rice with sugar and red dates. It tastes light and sweet, and Yan Luo likes it very much.

Not far away, two people were looking around.

"That woman must be a rich person. She actually exchanged such a precious elixir for a piece of food!"

"These days, anyone who can satisfy his cravings must be a powerful person!"

The two looked at each other and quietly retreated to an alley.

"You silly girl, it's time for you to show off. If you can't catch this fat sheep today, you'll die!"

Two grown men kicked a little girl of six or seven years old.

The little girl was in tatters, skinny, with messy hair, a dusty face, and fear and anger in her eyes.

Yan Luo ate the rice cake and bought a roujiamo out of interest.

Unfortunately, the roujiamo didn’t have all the seasoning and tasted bad. Yan Luo took a bite and threw it into his storage bag.

After a while, shouts were heard from the end of the street.

Shouts came one after another, and then a huge fire dragon appeared in sight. The fire dragon was held up by people with lit torches, and more than 20 people formed a long dragon.

They came running from far away, leaping and galloping, like the lion dance Yan Luo had seen before.

On both sides of the fire dragon, the people of Jiayu City followed along, dancing and singing, creating a very lively atmosphere.

They danced from east to west, and then from west to east. More and more people joined in, slowly filling up the entire spacious street.

Finally we stopped in the middle and started a bonfire party.

At this time, a group of people were standing in the observation hall built on Jiayu Mountain, led by Fang Yanhe.

Yan Luo saw the person above from afar in the crowd.

She was so absorbed in watching that she didn't expect a girl to suddenly bump into her.

"Are you OK?"

When Yan Luo saw that it was a pitiful little beggar, his heart softened and he looked her up and down with concern.

The little girl was looked at by Yan Luo, and she suddenly felt guilty.

"Sister...I..."

A big man in the crowd glared at her fiercely.

The little girl shrank back in fear, her eyes immediately filled with panic and fear.

"I'm fine, I'm fine"

She ran in a hurry, but too fast and bumped into a few people, for which she was scolded.

Yan Luo frowned. She saw the girl's reaction just now.

She smiled coldly and followed the girl with her spiritual sense.

At this time, almost everyone went to the streets, and there were few people in the alleys.

The two men kicked the girl to the ground. She was running and the kick broke the skin on her knee.

"You damn girl, you almost got caught! What? Did your father abuse you?"

"Dad...I, I didn't..."

The man kicked again.
"You're still saying no! Damn girl, if you can't be sold for a few bucks when you grow up, I won't support you!"

When the girl heard this, tears welled up in her eyes.

The man snatched the storage bag from her hand.

"Cry, cry, cry, you just know how to cry, you want to pay for it, you're just a stinky bitch like your mother!"

The other two men stopped him and said,

"Dude, let's see what's inside first. There's no rush to beat her. When can't we beat her?"

The three of them were about to open the storage bag with lewd looks, but suddenly a gust of wind blew.

The wind blew the storage bag in his hand to the ground. "Hey, what are you doing? Your hands are shaking and you can't hold it?"

My companion grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Then he bent down to pick it up.

The wind blew again, and the storage bag was blown one meter away.

Pick it up again and blow it again.

After repeating this several times, the three realized something was wrong and looked up.

In the dim moonlight, a woman in brown clothes stood under the wall.

Look at them with a smile.

They were stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and ran away.

"Want to run?"

Yan Luo snorted coldly, and an invisible pressure came over, instantly nailing the three people to the wall.

"Solve it privately or report it to the police?"

Yan Luo said in a cold tone.

"Don't report it to the police! Don't report it to the police!"

Stealing and cheating are strictly prohibited in the city, and once discovered, the person will be expelled from Jiayu City.

If they leave Jiayu City, they will be dead.

"We didn't open your storage bag, so please be magnanimous and let us go."

Yan Luo glanced at the girl lying on the ground and said,
"It's ok to settle it privately, but give me this girl."

Under a pile of messy hair, the girl's eyes lit up.

The man on the wall was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be heartbroken and said,

"This is my own daughter. I have raised her for eight years. I gave birth to her and raised her, but she hasn't done her duty yet. If you take her away, who will take care of me in my old age?"

Yan Luo snorted coldly, and the wooden stick in his hand turned into pieces.

"Do you think I didn't see you hitting her just now?

What, you still want to cheat me out of something? Well, if that’s the case, then go report it to the police.”

As she spoke, Yan Luo waved her hand and threw out a rope, which tightly wrapped around the three people. She pulled the three people away.

No matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't get away at all.

This is hitting a brick wall.
The man dared not to negotiate any more and quickly begged for mercy.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, senior. I dare not speak nonsense anymore. She, she belongs to you."

Hearing this, Yan Luo flicked his hands and the three of them fell to the ground.

She brushed off the dust on her hands, reached out to help the girl up, and asked softly,

"Will you come with me?"

"willing!"

The girl answered without hesitation.

She's having a miserable time here, it's unlikely that she'll be worse off somewhere else.

And this woman in front of me has an inexplicable affinity and sense of security.

Yan Luo said,
"I am not from Jiayu City. If you follow me, you will have to leave your hometown forever."

"I'd love to do that!"

Yan Luo looked at the bright eyes beneath the disheveled hair and face, and hope finally ignited in them.

She held the girl's hand.
"Then come with me."

The two returned to the street, where there was still singing and dancing.

Perhaps it was because they suddenly came out of the alley that the people in the cave noticed something different.

Fang Yanhe saw Yan Luo and frowned slightly.

The woman next to me asked,
"what happened?"

She also saw Yan Luo and a little beggar.

Fang Yanhe said,

"I saw someone I know from Shangyang City."

As he spoke, he ordered the people beside him to go down and invite Yan Luo.

Yan Luo naturally noticed his gaze and nodded at him.
