The little flower dog worshipfully had stars in his eyes, and then he saw Mo Yi briskly peel the leather jacket off the buzz cut man and put it on himself.
He had rushed over in only a short T-shirt before, and even though he had run here, and just exercised his limbs again, he still could not avoid feeling cold.
With clothes to keep out the cold, he picked up one of the backpacks, dumped out all the useless things inside, and only then began to search through these people’s pockets.
Under 005’s guidance, Mo Yi took all the valuables on these people’s bodies, and also stripped off a few pieces of clothes and shoes that could be considered clean to wear on himself. Only then did a satisfied smile appear on his face.
But just as he turned around with the spoils and wanted to leave, after taking one step, the next second, he stepped on a banana peel that had somehow fallen out, and slipped badly.
Even with Mo Yi’s good skills, he still fell when his center of gravity became unstable, landing on his butt.
“Fuck!”
The boy propped himself up from the ground, baring his teeth in pain as he stood up, while rubbing his sore butt and staring fixedly at the banana peel he had flattened, so angry that he really wanted to bark twice.
However, no matter how much he cursed in his heart, he still did not plan to take revenge by stepping on that culprit a couple more times, because he felt that with his luck, doing that would probably only make him fall a few more times himself.
Should he be thankful that when he fell just now, it was his fleshy butt that hit the ground.
005 covered its eyes, unable to bear looking.
Its host, who had just been so dashing and cool, had been afflicted by bad luck like this, and sure enough, he could not stay handsome for more than three seconds…
Carefully navigating around the banana peel and other trash, Mo Yi left the alley and ran back under the bridge.
He used the fastest speed, and the round trip took less than half an hour.
The man was still lying quietly on the ground, with no signs of having moved.
Mo Yi took off the torn coat that had been covering the other man, then wrapped the thick overcoat he had just deliberately stripped off one of the punks around Bai Ren, and only then effortlessly and gently lifted him horizontally into his arms and left this place.
Not long after, the two of them appeared in a small inn so remote that even the storefront was not proper.
The Boss, who was somewhat old and a little bald, had originally been smiling warmly when he heard someone come in. But when he saw it was a half-grown kid with a filthy face, carrying a big man who seemed to have passed out and had no awareness, and whose clothes were also wrinkled, he immediately lost interest.
Bai Ren’s suit pants were very dark, so the blood seeping through was not obvious. Right now, this appearance made it even more like he had gotten some kind of stain on them.
So the Boss did not think much of it, and only waved them away impatiently, saying, “Go, go, go, I haven’t had business for many days. I don’t have money to give you.”
This person was clearly treating them as beggars who had come to ask for alms.
Seeing such an attitude, Mo Yi did not mind it. In fact, one could even say he was very used to it.
He directly and briskly took a few red bills from his pocket and handed them over.
Seeing that there was money to collect, the Boss’s attitude immediately made an 850-degree turn, and he smiled as he took the money and said, “So you’re guests! Then please trouble you to take out your ID cards and register.”
After saying that, he kept staring at Mo Yi. Seeing that the other party had still not made any move for a long time, he knew this person probably could not produce any identification. Smiling and rubbing his hands together, he said, “Ah, customer, you also know there are regulations now. Staying at an inn requires identity registration. If you don’t register, there may be some trouble.”
As the Boss spoke, he rubbed his index finger and thumb together in front of Mo Yi.
Mo Yi had seen too many greedy sides of human beings, so he took out a few more red bills.
Sure enough, the Boss took the money with a broad smile. It was just that he had originally planned to give in like this, but on second thought, this kid had so easily taken out nearly a thousand yuan, so he must have some hidden difficulty. If he probed a little more, he would definitely be able to squeeze out more oil and water!
The balding man’s mung bean eyes rolled, and he slightly restrained his smile, putting on a somewhat hesitant expression as he continued, “Ah, little brother, you’re too polite. But you also know that doing business is really not easy. I…”
Before he had finished speaking, he saw that the man in the other boy’s arms suddenly opened his eyes.
The coolness seeping from those dark, deep eyes startled him. In an instant, he even felt as if someone had clamped a hand around his throat, and his back was soaked through with cold sweat.
But when he looked again, the other man’s eyes were closed, and that half-grown kid also seemed to have completely failed to notice that this person had woken up.
But the Boss knew that what he had just seen was not an illusion.
The little bit of scheming that had just risen instantly sank back into his stomach. He had run this shop for so long, and had seen too many people. He just felt that if he dared to push his luck any further, something bad would definitely happen.
So, the Boss hurriedly changed his tone and smiled. “What I mean is, although our little shop also finds it not easy to do business, we’ll definitely serve you well. I’ll go open the best room for you right now!”
Mo Yi did not say much. He silently followed behind the Boss, thinking that fortunately there was the system. Otherwise, if he wanted to stay here, he might only be able to think of the method of using force to compel them.
The group of punks he had dealt with earlier should have just split up their loot not long ago, because every pocket had a wad of cash.
Mo Yi had no concept of how much this money was. He only knew that half a backpack full of it, more than ten jin, was not much weight to him. But 005 told him that there was probably about five hundred thousand here, which was a great deal of money for ordinary people. It also reminded him to be careful, and not to let wealth show.
That was why he had first taken some out of the bag and put them in his pocket, and also listened to 005, not taking all of the money out in one go.
Looking at the Boss just now, Mo Yi had thought the other side wanted to continue raising the price, and for some reason, the thought suddenly faded again.
The room was reached very quickly, and it was the innermost room on the second floor.
After entering the room and looking around, even though it was called the best room here, it was actually only a little over ten square meters.
A round pink bed was placed in the center, and above it was a rose ceiling light full of a sense of age.
By the window, on a dark brown wooden desk with brass drawer pulls, there was a set of cheap tea ware, and on the wall there were also some old cartoon pictures.
The room’s furnishings and decor looked neither here nor there, but Mo Yi was very satisfied.
He had never stayed in such a good room before. He felt it was big and spacious. And in the room there was not only a bed to sleep in, this bed was also very large, and the bedding on it looked soft and fluffy. It must be very comfortable!
However, Mo Yi did not have time to look at anything else carefully. He carefully carried the man onto the bed. Listening to 005’s reminder, he turned on the electric heater, and after feeling the room quickly warm up, he took off Bai Ren’s clothes and checked his injuries.
The man’s skin was excessively pale. He was tall and broad-shouldered. When he was wearing clothes, he still looked well-proportioned, but after taking them off, only then did it become clear that this person seemed never to have properly cared for his body, so thin that his ribs could be seen.
The tightly furrowed brows and bloodless lips made him look even more weak, and paired with his handsome appearance, they gave the man an especially alluring kind of beauty. Fragile, yet with a trace of sex appeal mixed in.
The sky was already dark, and the room lighting was dim, making it look somewhat ambiguous.
It was a pity that only Mo Yi could see such a tempting male figure, while that certain busy fellow simply did not understand any of this at all.
He carefully examined the injuries on the other man’s body.
Countless abrasions and bruises went without saying, but the most serious were still those twisted legs, broken directly from the knee, and he did not know who had added two more knife cuts.
Luckily, the weapon used for the extra cuts should have been something like a dagger, and that group of punks had not received professional training, and their strength was limited, which left Bai Ren’s legs with some room to maneuver.
Looking at these wounds, a thread of pain arose in Mo Yi’s heart, little by little.
This was a feeling he had never had before.
With a strange expression, he scratched at his chest, somewhat not understanding why seeing this person injured made him feel even worse than being injured himself.
He actually still could not confirm whether those memory images were real, but the intimate, familiar feeling he had toward this person could not be fake.
All of this made Mo Yi unable to help harboring hope, expecting that the memory fragments that had appeared in his mind were not his imagination.
He had many things he wanted to ask Bai Ren, but right now, this person was still unconscious.
Afraid that he would not handle the man’s wounds well, Mo Yi asked 005, then found the inn Boss and had him get some gauze and hemostatic medicine, to first roughly bandage the wound.
After doing all this, he saw that the person on the bed had flushed cheeks and a somewhat pained expression.
Feeling the man’s burning forehead, he knew he had a fever.
He himself would also develop a fever after being injured, and Mo Yi was quite familiar with this, so he looked anxiously at the person on the bed.
“Host, you can go get a cold towel to physically cool him down.” 005 spoke up just in time.
After hearing the system’s words, he hurried to the restroom to wet a towel.
His previous living environment also did not have a mirror, and when he went to get the towel, he suddenly saw himself in the bathroom mirror and almost jumped in fright.
Who was this dirty little mud monkey!
The corners of Mo Yi’s eyes twitched. Although in the last world he had lived very miserably, when he had the chance he was still willing to groom his fur. He was a clean beast!
It was just that a few days ago, he still had not gotten used to always staying in human form. Later, he had been busy finding a place to sleep and something to eat, and getting familiar with this unfamiliar world, so he had not had any chance to groom himself.
He also knew that he probably was not very clean, he just had not expected himself to be this dirty.
Looking down at the towel clenched in his hand, Mo Yi really wanted to wipe himself down as well, but considering the person outside, and that this shabby little room only had one towel, he still decided to prioritize the patient first.
So, Mo Yi had no choice but to roughly wash his face with his hands first.
He lifted his head, and the dirt on his face had already been washed away, revealing his light wheat-colored skin. Mo Yi looked closely, only to discover that the original owner’s appearance was actually almost no different from what he had looked like when he took human form in his previous life.
The same big eyes, the same high nose bridge, the same sharp, healthy canines.
But perhaps because the original owner had been well cared for by his family earlier, and the time spent wandering was not very long, he actually looked a bit fairer, and a bit more fleshed out than his original self.
