Xingtie, my life is like walking on thin ice

"Mr. Zhuqing?"

Glisha called out Zhuqing's name in some confusion.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Grisha, I might have to be gone for a while."

Before Glisha could speak, the robin beside her said, "Ms. Glisha, Zhuqing is such a person. He can't just ignore something like this."

"Don't worry, he'll be fine."

Zhu Qing chuckled.

"Your safety is what I worry about more than my own."

He reached for his waist and a long knife appeared in his hand. He took off the knife and threw it to the robin.

The bird was a little dazed by this. She held the knife in both hands and blinked.

Is this for her to use? She doesn't know how to use it either?

"I'll be back as soon as possible."

Although he was doubtful, the robin nodded.

Zhu Qing looked like this, obviously not feeling at ease leaving her here alone.

The robin hesitated, but said nothing more.

Zhu Qing naturally noticed Xiaoniao's expression and said softly.

"If you have anything to say, we can talk when I get back."

"Ah."

Xiaoniao nodded again and looked at Zhuqing's leaving back with a smile in her eyes.

Well... no matter how many times I watch it, it's still the same as it was back then.

......

Chapter 115: Most of the Wealth

As Robin had expected, it didn't take Zhuqing long to deal with such an enemy.

The most time-consuming part of the whole thing was probably confirming the number of people.

You don't have to guess what happened next.

The Liumeng Gang felt that they had more numbers and more power, so they rushed forward and knocked the Liumeng Gang to the ground.

When Zhu Qing came back, the group of people from the Liumeng Gang had already formed a long line, following Zhu Qing, with their heads down, reciting the apology lines.

"Louder! Weren't you quite energetic during the fight just now?"

Zhu Qing glanced at the group of people. These guys really had to thank these kids, otherwise he would not use such "gentle" means to deal with them.

It was just an apology along the street. Compared with what they had done, such a punishment, at least in Zhu Qing's opinion, was not painful at all.

"Okay, keep lining up to apologize and stop following me."

Seeing that he saw people, Zhu Qing stopped.

"Don't try to be sneaky. I'm watching you. I'll ask if anyone missed your apology later. If anyone says they didn't hear it... haha."

Zhu Qing sneered, scaring the group of people into shrinking their necks.

"What if someone deliberately says they didn't hear it?"

"When they begged for mercy, did you let them go?"

"..."

Zhu Qing looked coldly at the group of people from the Liumeng Gang, "You should be thankful that there are still children here, otherwise I promise you, you will regret from the bottom of your heart why you came to this world."

Hearing the footsteps getting closer from behind, Zhu Qing waved his hand.

"Okay, get lost."

The group of people were walking in a panic, but they didn't dare to stop apologizing.

"Brother Zhuqing~"

Zhu Qing turned around, and the coldness in his eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by the same bright look as before.

The two more lively children rushed over and hugged Zhuqing's legs.

Zhu Qing rubbed their heads with one hand each.

"Look, Ms. Grisha, I told you he could handle this, right?"

The robin beside him stopped and said with a smile.

"Those guys are used to bullying others, I never thought I would see them suffer this day."

"They won't do such a thing again."

Zhu Qing smiled and pinched the two children's faces.

"They have promised me to turn over a new leaf and become a better person."

"Brother Zhuqing is so awesome!"

"I also want to be as awesome as Brother Zhuqing~"

This was not the first time that Zhu Qing had heard such words. When he traveled through many worlds and was pestered by children, he mostly heard such words.

This innocent and childlike wish is difficult to achieve from a practical perspective. But... no one can be sure of the future, and no one can guarantee what kind of people these children will become or where they will end up.

"Then let's make a deal. You guys have to grow up well and become someone more powerful than me in the future, okay?"

"Good~"

"children."

Grisha spoke up, "We should go back."

"I know, Grandma Grisha."

Although these children were reluctant to leave here, they would leave whenever Grisha called them.

After saying goodbye to Zhuqing and Robin, Grisha left with the children.

The robin walked to Zhuqing's side, but his eyes were looking at the place where the children left.

"We've traveled to every corner of this exile land over the past two days. People we saw yesterday have completely left today. They all told us that this exile land is not worth remembering."

The girl paused and continued, "But these children, they are so reluctant to leave every time."

She could understand other people's emotions better than most people, and the robin knew that these children were really reluctant to leave this dream.

“What kind of life are they experiencing in real life…”

Zhuqing turned his head and looked at the robin.

"You should have guessed it, right?"

"Ah."

Robin nodded. She had spent the longest time with the children, so naturally she could discover more details.

"Gary is afraid of communicating with others and has suffered from autism since childhood, and Carol is probably blind in real life. Compared to others, she cherishes the scenery in front of her more..."

The little bird whispered about her discovery. It was not the first time she had seen such a child, but even if she saw it many times, her mood would not change much.

"But what I can do for them is really too limited..."

"Ms. Grisha is a brave person and she has taught these children how to face life."

Listening to Zhuqing's words, the robin nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Ms. Grisha has taught the children how to have hope in life."

Zhu Qing smiled and said, "After this is over, let's go see them in reality together."

"Eh? Is this... okay?"

"It's just a glance from a distance, it's nothing serious. Besides, can you really bear to watch them live like this?"

"..."

How could she bear it?

"But if we provide material support, will Ms. Grisha agree?"

"Even welfare orphanages accept donations from society. It's undeniable that through trials and tribulations they may become braver and stronger, and when they look back they will be able to face their past selves with ease, but..."

"If their lives are easier now, their future will be much higher."

What Zhu Qing said is not without reason. Although people should use their own hands to get what they want, it is not unacceptable to accept help when you have nothing.

He has experienced this kind of life, and at that time, no one provided him with help. He knows that feeling is not good, so now he is willing to do something for these children.

"The Doctoral Society has a public welfare program. Carol's eyes can get the best treatment at the Doctoral Society. I'll get an application and ask Ms. Grisa to help fill it out."

The robin looked at Zhuqing, and the tenderness in his eyes became more and more obvious.

She liked to see the confident and frivolous sea patrol knight Qingzhu, and the Zhuqing in front of her, who had lost his halo, also made her happy.

Zhu Qing waved his hand, "Big star, you're distracted again."

"..."

The little bird's face turned red and she looked away in a panic.

Zhu Qing noticed the bird's actions, but did not continue to tease it.

"Let's talk business first. You wanted to tell me this before I left just now, right?"

"Ah."

Robin's cheeks were still a little red, but her thoughts had been brought back by Zhuqing.

"I cannot allow the betrayers of my family to use the name of harmony to turn the Harmony Festival into a stage for their destruction of Pinocchio. Therefore... I refuse to step onto the stage of the Harmony Festival."

Robin looked up at Zhuqing, "But...if we just do this, will the family's betrayer really lose his patience?"

After all, if they really intended to use the Harmony Festival, it didn't seem to make much difference whether she was on stage or not.

"There is so little intelligence available that it is difficult to judge."

Zhu Qing turned around and said, "Let Mr. Gallagher come up with some advice."

"Not bad, you can hear my footsteps from such a distance."

"Isn't that because Mr. Gallaher deliberately increased the noise of his footsteps?"

Zhu Qing felt that these people did it on purpose. He trained his ears to make fighting more convenient, not to use them as a doorbell for these people.

Every time these people wanted to attract his attention, they would step heavier so that he could hear it.

"It's just to avoid hearing something you shouldn't hear."

Gallagher shrugged. "I went to see Mika before coming here. It seems Miss Mockingbird has thought it through."

"Ah."

Mockingbird nodded. "Does Mr. Gallagher know who betrayed the family?"

"do not know."

Gallagher said without hesitation.

"But that's not important. The fact that the family has reached this point today only proves that there are traitors operating within the family. Even if the truth is uncovered, what good will it do? It will still be suppressed, and in the end, nothing will be done about it."

Gallagher gave a somewhat mysterious smile.

"So...we might as well make this a bigger fuss."

"What does Mr. Gallagher mean?"

"It's simple. Let the shadow of 'death' cover the entire Pinocchio. No matter if the family's traitors can sit still or not, there will always be someone who can't sit still. And once everyone starts moving, it will be difficult for the traitors to stay still."

"Relying on outsiders to solve Pinocchio's problems is not a good option."

Zhu Qing frowned. This was completely equivalent to giving hope to others.

"It can't be any worse than it is now. The watchmaker is dead, and you can't expect an old dog like me to do anything else, can you?"
