Maybe everyone has secrets that they don’t want to tell.

Coco too.

So does Elle.

So does myself.

32. Robbery

The two people who came out of the bathhouse had their wet bodies dried by Lily.

Lily found some other clothes from the gems and put them on Coco. The new clothes were similar to the ones Lily was wearing.

Wearing clean clothes makes you feel refreshed.

When she returned to the room, Coco was already yawning. Lily closed the curtains and the room became dark.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh, don't you want to sleep?" Lily yawned sleepily.

Coco seemed to be still hesitating. After hearing Lily's answer, she finally said "Never mind" and lay down on the bed.

Coco hasn't lay in bed for a long time.

Sometimes, the weather in the south of the mainland is very humid, so few people sleep on the floor.

But cocoa is different.

Coco rolled over on the bed.

"Wake me up when you're done eating."

After saying this to Lily, Coco muttered to herself, "When I wake up, Master Ai'er should be here soon," and closed her eyes while suppressing her anticipation.

When Master Ai'er arrives, you won't have to bother with the demon next to you.

What a joy.

……

Coco's breathing gradually became steady, and her body curled up on the bed rose and fell with her breathing.

Coco fell asleep quickly.

In fact, Coco hasn't had a good rest for several days.

If Coco was allowed to continue sleeping, she might not get enough sleep for the whole day.

Lily sat alone on the bed, staring at Coco in a daze.

She stood up and covered Coco with the blanket.

When Lily's hand reached the wound on Coco's stomach, she was stunned.

But Lily still did nothing.

Coco's little body was covered well by Lily with a quilt.

After checking the surrounding decorations and making sure there is no problem with the signal left by Ai'er.

Leaving the gem containing the food in the room, Lily opened the door and left the room.

……

When she went downstairs, Lily only saw a tiny human girl sitting on the couch.

A little human girl called Xiaoling by the proprietress.

The other person's body trembled with sobbing, and his short legs dangled under the sofa. His big eyes were a little wet and red. From time to time, he would rub his buttocks - it was obvious that it really hurt.

Lily subconsciously wanted to retreat back to her room.

As a result, Xiaoling's big eyes were the first to catch sight of Lily coming down the stairs.

It was too late for Lily to go back.

She jumped down from the sofa, lowered her head and slowly walked to Lily. Then she searched in her trouser pockets.

Is this a new prank? Lily took a step back subconsciously.

In the girl's hand, there was a small candy wrapped in candy paper.

Although Lily had never eaten anything like this, she could still guess that it was something like a gift.

"Miss, I was wrong just now... I'm sorry, please forgive me, okay?"

The girl looked at Lily with tearful eyes. Her words were faintly hoarse and sobbing.

The girl at this time is much more well-behaved and cuter than before.

Lily subconsciously took the candy from the girl.

"Then I'll assume that your sister has forgiven me. Remember to say this when mom asks you about it."

The girl ran away with small steps.

Rubbing his eyes, he walked around the door, left the hotel and disappeared.

Lily hesitated and put the candy in her pocket.

……

Soller is a bustling city.

As long as she didn't do anything excessive, Lily wouldn't stand out even in shackles.

It would be better to say that everyone would deliberately avoid people who look unusual like this.

The uncle who was selling red berry candy strings on the roadside was about to shout at Lily who was walking by inconspicuously, but when he saw the shackles on the other person's ankles, he shut up again.

A young man in front of a fruit stall wanted to hand a piece of fruit to Lily who was passing by, but was stopped by the stall owner.

Because Lily like this really looks like a slave.

At least that's what everyone guessed.

Except for the master, no one has the position or right to show kindness to other people's slaves.

The stall owner warned the young man: If you really want to be nice to her, then ignore her.

If her master is a good master and is happy about your kindness to her, then she is not worthy of your charity. If her master is a bad master, then your behavior will only make the master angry and the slave's situation will only become worse.

So the best way is to ignore it.

Lily vaguely sensed other people's strange attitude towards her, but she obviously couldn't understand the reason.

She just followed her own will and kept walking deeper into the city.

As we walked deeper, the houses around us became more and more mottled, and we could often smell the stench coming from the roadside.

The alley became increasingly deserted.

Soller is very lively. But just like this, there are always alleys with few people.

The closer you get to those places, the more you can see the real scene of such a city.

The luxurious flagstone driveway is just a decoration covered in flour.

Lily walked on the broken stone slabs and compacted dirt road. Finally, after turning a corner, Lily stopped.

There is no road ahead.

A stone wall blocked the view ahead.

Behind the stone walls are even more magnificent buildings.

Lily stared at the tall city lord's mansion in the distance in a daze. There were several footsteps coming from behind Lily.

"She's not leaving...she's staying here, right?"

"I've finally been waiting for this... Hey, little sister."

Lily turned her head.

In front of me, there are two men, one tall and one short.

A human man.

The two men each had a small knife on their waist, the blade was wrapped in a simple leather sheath. The short man pulled out the knife, and the blade that should have been shiny even became a little dull.

"Hey you,"

"?"

"Hand over all the money you just took out."

The man walked towards Lily, holding a knife.

"money?"

"You have a lot, right? What is that? You even have a few Dema coins. Hand them all over." The man said:

"Hand you over and we'll let you go. Otherwise, we'll kill you here and it'll only cost you a few silver coins to compensate your master."

"Ah, I want to have some fun first. Such a cute little sister, look at her skin, her legs, arms and feet... maybe she was a noble in the past?"

The man behind him suddenly laughed: "Although it's a little small, it's a noble! That feeling is probably better than any of the dirty women out there."

"Let's get the money first. How can we let her get away? We can do whatever we want after that."

"When you're done, just throw the body into the forest and let the wild animals eat it."

"If there's someone who can buy it, we can make some money. But if it's expensive, we can't sell it and we'll have to kill it..."

The two men deliberately lowered their voices, but Lily heard them clearly.

But Lily understood very little.

So he just tilted his head and stood there in confusion.
