124. Homecoming
Walking slowly to Lilith, Rick's low magnetic voice completely relaxed: "If you are afraid, we won't have to meet again in the future..."
Lilith pursed her lips and slowly raised her head. Her eyes were a little red and swollen, and her poor little nose kept sucking, and tears in her eyes were definitely lifted.
He rushed into Rick's arms, and Lilith cried: "Yes...I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so afraid, I resist you like this..."
Warm and soft in his arms, Rick frowned. He would rather Lilith be afraid of him.
After a hug and a few explanations, the relationship between the two somehow became closer.
Lilith released her feelings and fear in her heart, smiled like a flower, holding Rick's arm: "Do you know? I was really scared at that time..."
The smile on Rick's face was a little stiff, and Lilith's explanation made him even more amused and crying.
At first, Lilith was full of fear for Rick who was killing without blinking. But then in the police station, Lilith completely calmed down and slowly realized that if Rick had not killed the three barbarians at that time, the ones who died in the end might be Lilith and Rick.
Thinking of this, although Rick was cruel, he was only targeting those bad guys, which made Lilith feel a little more secure.
I always thought that Rick's book smelled too strong, and his "unable force" look made Lilith feel a little worried.
.............
On the dark night, it was lit up by a large number of colorful lights and advertising slogans.
Even late at night, this vibrant city is still noisy and lively.
In nightclubs and bars, there are drunk guests and drink lovers everywhere. In some dark corners, some nightingales with exposed clothes and seductive eyes often flash.
Lilith is a good girl, of course she can't let her go home alone.
With Rick's arms on his shoulder, Lilith felt like she was in a safe harbor, intoxicating.
Avoiding a few drunken drunks who shouted and shouted when they saw people, the two walked into a pinker alley.
There were pink, pink slogans, pink wall paint everywhere, and a large number of beautiful women wearing pink short skirts and pink stockings, smiling and attracting customers.
It's like entering the pink world, with powder and women's fragrance everywhere.
"Oh, this guy is so handsome!"
"Come here, sister, relax for you!"
Lilith hugged Rick tightly, her feet speeding up, and her face was as hard as if she had glued.
Rick kept a gentle smile until the two walked to a dilapidated and old building.
Even though it lacks repair and is remote, Rick still feels a strong cultural atmosphere when he first sees this building.
Just like a pot of aged wine, even if the wine pot is old, the wine inside still exudes mellow and richness.
Lilith may have misunderstood Rick's thoughts, and stood there with some twist, stirring the corner of her clothes with both hands: "I'm home, you...you go back first."
Rick smiled and looked at the pair of quaint and heavy and vicissitudes of the house-guarding beasts at the door and said, "This thing is rare. What does your family do?"
Lilith lowered her head, making people unable to see her expression at this moment: "Yes... are in the antique business." It seemed that she was unwilling to mention her business at home, and Lilith became a little depressed and negative.
Based on Lilith's outfit and the appearance of the building in front of her, Rick immediately came to a conclusion.
"You can't take these antiques away! As long as you sell them, you can pay off your debts..." A miserable cry suddenly came from the building.
Lilith's face changed drastically and she ran home quickly.
Rick hesitated slightly and walked in.
Cross the seriously worn solid wood threshold and enter the store. It is antique and full of historical and cultural atmosphere.
On the solid wood treasure rack are placed with several cheap antiques that suit the situation, and several bronzes hanging on a few thick hemp ropes...
Even if you use the careful layout, the entire store gives people a feeling of emptiness.
Bypassing a curtain, Rick's master who had just cried and shouted suddenly appeared in front of him.
The clean coarse cloth clothes, haggard face, and two pairs of crying red eyes make people feel distressed.
Her face was vaguely similar to Lilith, and she should be her mother.
Several big and thick men next to them were snatching Lilith's mother to a few antique ornaments.
Lilith also went barefoot, but how could she defeat several men?
Rick frowned lightly, and the smile on his face gradually became heavy: "What's wrong? Do you want to steal it openly?" Rick's voice was low, and he was arrogant without anger.
Several men were stumbled and robbed in Mont Copper City, which was a serious crime.
"Young man, he has a bad temper. It is best not to interrupt before figuring out the matter." An older man showed his elder face and taught a lesson.
Rick's eyebrows were frowning even deeper. He hated such things that were the most dependent on his seniority.
However, Rick's arrival also made several people feel scruples and began to reason.
"Madam Anli, it's not that we are unreasonable. The debts that your family has owed should be paid off."
"Yes, it's almost the New Year's Day, and the landlord's family has no surplus food."
The few people talked and soon Rick understood the whole story.
It is true that Lilith's house is an antique shop, but since his father passed away a few years ago, the business in the store has suddenly plummeted.
What antiques require is experience and vision. Lilith is a girl who doesn't like to fiddle with these things, and Mrs. Anli only knows how to use the skin.
After being cheated several times, the property suddenly came to an end.
At this time, the two wanted to sell the antiques from their homes quickly so as to pay off their debts. But the creditors came to force their debts every day as if they had agreed to urge their lives.
If you can't pay back the debt, you will be ready to pay off the debt with the last few valuable antiques.
Even if Lilith and her mother don’t understand this, they know that these antiques are the most valuable things in the store.
Several creditors also saw that the mother and daughter were easy to bully, and were ready to take advantage of the excuse of paying off the debt to leave these priceless antiques.
Even if we investigate it in the future, we can get a fake one and return it to them.
Rick didn't understand this either, but he saw a little greed and guilt in the eyes of several creditors.
"How much debt do they owe?" Rick sat on the chair next to him, calm and calm, and immediately shocked several people.
Several people couldn't figure out Rick's feet, but looking at his extraordinary aura, they didn't dare to use force.
"A total of three hundred silver tale."
Upon hearing this number, Mrs. Anli immediately said angrily: "Isn't it two hundred silver tale? I remember it very clearly!"
Chapter completed!
