Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 374 Escape from the Crowd

Just as the man with ill intentions stretched out his rough hands, with a hint of cunning complacency on his face, and was about to secretly pick up Shen Li, a hand reached out faster than him and firmly held Shen Li's slender waist.

Shen Li was startled by the sudden hug, and alarm bells immediately rang in her heart. She subconsciously struggled hard and wanted to shout for help.

At this moment, a familiar and reassuring voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Ari, it's me, follow me out of the crowd!"

Shen Li recognized that the owner of the voice was none other than Nangong Qi.

It turned out that Nangong Qi had been following Shen Li silently since he went out with her, watching her excitedly shuttle through the streets and alleys like a happy little bird, sometimes looking at the gadgets on the street curiously, sometimes being attracted by all kinds of novel things, and finally coming to watch the magic show with great interest.

At first, he just followed her cautiously and stealthily, not wanting to disturb her interest.

However, when he watched her being deliberately pushed to the front of the stage by several men in the crowd with flickering eyes and obvious ill intentions, his heart suddenly tightened and a bad premonition came over him.

He immediately realized that the situation was not good and was shocked. At this time, he also keenly discovered the hidden danger.

So, without hesitation, he pushed forward towards Shen Li.

He was extremely anxious and ignored the complaints and pushing of the people around him. He desperately mobilized his internal strength and forced his way through a narrow passage.

Seeing that the man with a wretched face and his evil big hands were about to touch Shen Li, Nangong Qi was anxious, with flames of anger burning in his eyes. He suddenly exerted force and angrily used his internal force to push away the crowd around him again, then rushed towards Shen Li desperately.

Finally, at the critical moment, he succeeded in hugging his beloved girl tightly in his arms. At that moment, his heart was filled with gratitude for surviving the disaster and deep worry about Shen Li.

At this time, Su Ran, who was outside the crowd and had quietly followed Nangong Qi all the way, was standing on the eaves and also witnessed this scene that made him jealous and felt bitter.

He just watched as Nangong Qi, at that critical moment, nimbly hugged Shen Li tightly in his arms.

As for himself, he had been hiding his figure and carefully kept a certain distance from Nangong Qi, for fear of being discovered. However, it was precisely because of this cautious distance that he missed the perfect opportunity to save Shen Li at close range.

At this moment, he could only stand aside unwillingly, watching Nangong Qi, whom he hated so much, become Shen Li's savior and hold her in his arms.

Su Ran stood quietly on a roof, looking down at the scene with hatred, as if the picture was like a sharp thorn, piercing deep into his heart, making him feel particularly dazzling.

With no place to vent his anger, he turned his resentment on the magician on the stage and his accomplices in the audience.

He suddenly turned his head and, with a scowl on his face, directed an order to the guards standing by behind him, gritting his teeth. "Immediately apprehend that despicable gang of human traffickers! Interrogate them severely and find out who is behind all this. Then hand them over to the Crown Prince of Xiqi for punishment! I will make them pay a heavy price for their actions today!"
