Chapter 224 223. Stealing a book is not stealing

  Lu Yi quickly remembered the night he had come to the abandoned city for the first time.

  A few fellow travelers at the time, only the young boy named Shishi survived.

  Lu Zan is the author of the ancient capital who knew it from the stone. Now he encountered the stone again in the investigation of the disappearance of the ancient capital. It can be said that it is some kind of fateful connection.

  "Do you know each other?"

  Drizzt was a little surprised, after all, Lu Zie was obviously not a foreigner like Abandoned City. The guy he could know should have been encountered during the mission.

  In the ordinary Silent Place mission, passers-by are either dead or injured. If you can stand here so well, you always feel that something is wrong.

   "Let’s know it."

   Lu Yi replied, he looked up and down the stone. This originally fragile boy has now become a little handsome, even if he wore an old suit that didn't fit him, he had a handsome temperament, which was completely different from the fierce thugs beside him.

  Is this the true portrayal of the changing face of reading?

  Lu Yi couldn't help thinking.

   "Are you a gangster?"

  He blurted out, he could see that the thugs next to him picked up his eyelids, and he was about to raise his hands.

   "It's not a gang, it's a company."

   Shishi corrected it, and at the same time raised his hand to stop the thug, it seemed that he had a high status in this rental car place.

   "Because I am literate, I am arranged here as an accountant."

"Oh."

  Lu Yi did not entangle with the name of the gangster, anyway, whether the mafia or the big company, they are all similar things.

  "But that’s great, Mr. Lu Zhe, I haven’t heard from you in the past few years. I thought you were already."

  When Shishi saw Lu Zan, he thought of the scene that night at that time, and he couldn't help feeling lingering.

  But soon, the joy of the familiar people still alive replaced that anxiety.

  A careful calculation, three years have passed since the last time I came here, and it is indeed a long time.

   "No, I have no shortcomings, but my life is a bit hard."

  Lu Yi waved his hand.

   "By the way, are you still reading the book of the ancient capital?"

  Lu Ji glanced at the novel by Shishi.

   "Well, I think he wrote very well."

  Stone picked up the book in his hand.

   "Also, when I was young, my mother often read to me the stories from "Old News of the Deserted City" to scare me to sleep, so I felt that he was very close to me."

   "That's really your real mother."

   Drizzt complained.

"Uh-huh."

  Stone didn't know if he didn't understand or did he think so, he nodded, and then took out the old book from his arms.

  The pages of the book have long been worn out. Obviously, after years of flipping, Lu Zan glanced at it. The book is indeed very shabby, and the author's signature page for the title page is missing.

   "Are you going out of town?"

  Stone looked at the form that Drizzt had filled out, and confirmed again.

   "Yes, I am going to Hanxu."

  Lu Zan nodded, then suddenly thought of it.

  "Have anyone rented a car and left on your side recently and haven't returned the car?"

   "Nothing, what's the matter?"

  Stone thought for a while, and asked a little strangely.

   "No, just ask casually."

   Lu Yi thought for a moment, then said to Shishi.

  "The book of the ancient capital, people at your age should not read it, otherwise it will easily affect their lives. I will take it for you here. This is for your own good."

  He picked up both the "Mouse in Painting" and "Old News in the Waste City".

  Shishi was a little confused, but after thinking about what Lu Zie looked like that night, he did not dare to speak.

  "?"

  Drizzt watched Lu Zan put both books into his arms, and glanced at the stone that he dared not resist.

  "How do you bully children and steal books from others?"

  He couldn't help but say.

  "Stealing a book is not stealing, and I do it for his own good. If a teenager is addicted to this kind of horror novel every day, it is not good for society or himself, don't you think?"

  Lu Jiuyi said righteously.

  Drizzt twitched his mouth. Although he knew that Lu Zan was worried that the ancient capital's book would have a bad influence on this young man, just like that mercenary, this method was still too simple and rude.

   "Remember, at your age, you can only read these entertainment books between 8 and 9 pm on weekends every week. At other times, work and study."

   Lu Yi said again.

  Shishi nodded ignorantly.

  The two thugs on the side looked at the dialogue between Lu Zuan and Shishi, a little dumbfounded.

   "Then we are leaving, I will come back to see you when I have time."

  Lu Yi picked up the key, took up the car with Drizzt and Xia, and quickly drove out of the abandoned city.

  The stone left behind, sitting on the chair, did not seem to react.

   "Boss, a few of them just now."

  A thug leaned over and asked about the stone.

   "Don't mind, it's my friend."

  Shishi looked in the direction where the three-person car was leaving, thoughtfully.

   "Let us swing our oars and the boat pushes the waves away"

  Lu Jie sang a song while feeling the cool wind blowing on him.

  He was sitting in the co-pilot, while Xia was in the back seat. She was very interested in things like cars, probably because the kingdom of night didn’t.

   "You don't need to be so nervous."

  Lu Zan said, the night outside is deep, and the road is very smooth. If you don’t consider the cause and effect, it’s like running on a small country road.

  You can see scattered lights in the distance. Indeed, as Drizzt said, there are some scattered villages and towns on this road, so you don’t have to worry about being attacked by monsters.

"can you drive?"

   Drizzt asked suddenly.

   "No, what's the matter?"

  Lu Yi answered decisively.

   "Then we will find a place to rest later, I can't drive all night."

   "Oh, then I will take the time to sleep."

   Lu Yi said, he was about to turn sideways and close his eyes to rest.

  "Stop, what are you doing in bed?"

  Drizzt was puzzled.

   "You have to rest later, then you must fall asleep, and I can't sleep anymore, so it's reasonable to sleep now!"

  Lu Zan is serious.

   "It seems to be true."

When Drizzt muttered, Lu Zie had already closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep.

   "I feel a little dizzy."

  Xia was probably in a car for the first time, and she soon fell into motion sickness.

  "You, don't vomit. You should close your eyes and rest. You can lie down. No, don't lie down. Just sit down like this."

  Drizzt was a little frantic.

  Xia soon fell asleep too.

  The abandoned city at night, silent.

  Drizzt drove the car, and sleepiness gradually came up.

  At this time, he suddenly discovered that the light that had been looming in the distance was gone.

  The whole world was plunged into darkness.

  This feeling is very similar to the feeling in the dense fog of the kingdom of night.

  Drizzt did not stop directly, but continued along the road visible to the naked eye.

  He felt a little chill in his back.

  Turn on the high beams, Drizzt suddenly saw that there seemed to be a creature ahead.

  Only for a moment, Drizzt couldn't react, and the vehicle ran into the thing directly.
