"But we have no choice..."
Just as Su Jue was about to explain, her body suddenly lightened, and she found that Kiana had actually picked her up like a princess. The girl sprinted quickly, stepping directly into a dent on the wall, and between twists and turns, the two of them reached the roof.
"..."
I forgot that there was a girl with super strength carrying 200 kilograms of flour and walking briskly, but her posture was a little bit indecent.
Su Jue subconsciously looked at Kiana and found that her face looked normal and she didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
Fortunately, it was just an illusion in his mind, and Su Jue felt relieved.
Chapter 278 Disguise
"They shouldn't have gone far." The men in black who were chasing them looked at each other and immediately began a carpet search of the surrounding buildings.
The leader looked at the scattered debris on the ground, looked up at the high wall at the end of the alley with some doubt, and quickly shook his head and left. In any case, it was still unrealistic to climb a 5-meter-high wall with bare hands.
Just above their heads, Su Jue and Qiana were leaning against the roof, almost sticking to the sloping roof, minimizing the risk of exposure.
Only after the figure disappeared did Su Jue slowly stand up and move carefully along the roof.
The roof was very slippery after the rain, and Berlin's architectural style was mostly pointed buildings with sharp angles, so one could easily fall off if one was not careful.
The two held each other's hands and walked on both sides of the roof, maintaining each other's balance.
The two of them were bathed in the bright sunshine, their feet were creaking on the snow, and they walked hand in hand in the height of Berlin. This was an area that no one had ever set foot on, quiet and peaceful, while under the eaves were a noisy crowd of people, busy and mundane.
Somehow it doesn't feel like running for life, but instead has a hint of romance.
With this thought flashing through her mind, Kiana subconsciously looked at the young man beside her, but Su Jue was obviously more concerned about his balance under his feet and did not meet her gaze.
Sighing silently, Kiana suddenly thought that it would be nice if the two of them could walk like this for a whole day.
"It seems that we have temporarily shaken them off." After walking through the rooftops of several streets in succession, Su Jue finally found a place to stay. He stood carefully on the edge and observed the situation on the street.
There were only a few old people sitting on chairs basking in the sun on the street, making it relatively quiet.
"Let's go..." Before Su Jue could finish his words, the snow under his feet that had been exposed to the sun began to melt, and he suddenly lost his balance.
Seeing that Su Jue was about to fall from the roof, Qiyana rushed over and grabbed his hand without thinking. Unfortunately, even the illusion had to obey the laws of physics. The two people who fell on the snow not only failed to stop the downward trend, but also led to a large area of snow, sliding down from the roof like an avalanche.
Pushed by the snow, the two people hugged each other and rolled off the roof along with the large amount of snow.
Although falling from a height of five meters is not fatal, it will definitely cause injuries. Kiana instinctively hugged Su Jue, wanting to take the impact from below.
However, Su Jue was obviously calmer. When he fell off the roof, he pushed hard on the edge and adjusted his landing point by relying on the reaction force.
With a bang, in the surprised gaze of passers-by, the two men fell on the awning supporting the stall, greatly reducing the impact.
"It's... okay." Su Jue had just breathed a sigh of relief when the snow behind him fell in the same way, burying the two of them directly in the snow.
Su Jue was pinned down by a large pile of snow and could not move, so he had to stick closely to Kiana.
The thick layer of snow blocked out the light and the sound, so that in this small and dark space, he could only hear each other's violently beating heartbeats.
A blurry picture flashed in his mind. Did the two of them spend the long night in the snow and wind like this last night?
"Are you okay?" He suddenly remembered that Kiana was pinned under him, so he quickly tried his best to support his weight and make room for Kiana to move.
In the absolute darkness, he did not see the unnatural blush on Kiana's face.
"fine."
"Then you should first find a way to dig away the snow on the side. There shouldn't be much snow here, so just push away a part of it." Su Jue calmed down and quickly looked for a way to break the deadlock. The biggest danger of being buried in an avalanche is not the cold but suffocation.
Kiana obediently dug through the snow along the torn fabric of the awning. As long as she could make space to move, it was only a matter of time before she broke free.
She was very strong, and with the help of Su Jue supporting the snow above, she quickly dug a passage and moved out of the passage.
After going out, Kiana found things much easier. She picked up the bench left behind by the old man who was scared away, and quickly dug Su Jue out of the snow pile.
"Cough cough." Su Jue, who had choked on several mouthfuls of snow, supported his knees with his hands and gasped heavily.
It was indeed lucky that he was unharmed after falling from a height of 5 meters. However, the previous avalanche scared away almost all the people on the street, and the road was completely covered with snow, which made it much safer.
With the help of this unexpected cover, the two left quickly.
……
An hour later, two strangers walked out of a thrift store. The girl was wearing a wide-brimmed hat that can be seen everywhere, and a plain gray scarf around her neck. She was standing quietly in front of a floor-length mirror. The boy was dressed similarly, except that his clothes were men's.
These two people are naturally Su Jue and Kiana in disguise.
Although 134 marks was not a large amount of property, it still had considerable purchasing power in that era.
After running away for a long time, the two men's clothes were almost soaked. In addition, their attire had been discovered by the enemy. Taking these into consideration, Su Jue found a thrift store and bought two sets of clothes.
In this store, the two of them had spent a full 100 marks, but in return they were dressed in almost unrecognizable clothes.
Before leaving, the shop owner enthusiastically presented them with a pair of hats, which were the very distinctive wide-brimmed hats of that era. There was a white ribbon tied on the brown hat, and the wide brim looked like waves.
The 50s was the peak of European fashion history, and elegant and luxurious ladies could be seen everywhere on the streets. Under the cover of the big hat, even if Kiana was very beautiful, she looked ordinary.
"Is there no problem now?" Kiana held the brim of her hat with her fingers awkwardly. She had never worn such a hat before and always felt it was a little novel.
"Don't worry, those people are here to find me. As long as they can't find me, they won't do anything rash." Su Jue stretched out his hand and helped Kiana straighten her crooked hat.
He stood opposite Kiana, looking up and down at Kiana's outfit to make sure there were no flaws.
"But this money is for your recovery." Having personally treated Su Jue's wounds, Kiana naturally knew how serious his injuries were. That's why she ran out early in the morning to find a part-time job and prepared to go to the pharmacy to buy some healing supplies.
"Even if I want to recover, I have to get rid of these enemies first." Su Jue responded casually. Under Kiana's strange gaze, he walked around her and gently reached out to tuck the girl's long white hair into her coat.
After tying her grey scarf, Su Jue nodded with satisfaction. Now, let alone the NPCs, even he himself would probably find it difficult to recognize her at a glance.
coo.
Just at this moment, strange noises came from the girl's stomach.
Qiana was a little embarrassed, but Su Jue rubbed his stomach naturally, pretending not to hear anything, "It seems that I am a little hungry, let's finish breakfast first."
Chapter 279 Drawing
"It seems they have gone far away." The leader of the hunting team looked at the snow sliding down from the roof with an unpleasant expression. He never thought that someone could climb onto the roof without any tools.
"Should we continue to chase?"
"Let's continue to expand the search range and report the situation now." The captain retracted his gaze, glanced at the passers-by who were watching around him, pulled off the hood of his robe to cover his face, and left quickly.
After the pursuit team left, the civilians around them relaxed from the tense atmosphere and complained quietly: "The members of these big families are really getting more and more unscrupulous. The Joyce family has almost been completely destroyed now, but they still want to kill them all."
"It is said that the most important young man among the younger generation of the Joyce family has not been caught yet. In my opinion, the Joyce family is likely to have left the most important wealth to that boy, so these people are so persistent in pursuing him."
"But he's just a child. No matter how smart he is, he can't threaten an entire family." The citizen who heard the gossip from the people next to him was a little confused. The cruelty of these people was obvious to all. The owner of the bakery on Street 26 was beaten to death in his own shop.
"That's not necessarily true. After all, that boy is a true child prodigy. According to the news from my uncle's family, the Joyce family had already fallen into decline several years ago, and it was only because of that boy that they were able to survive until now." The guy who spread the news pretended to be mysterious. Seeing that everyone around him was attracted by him, he excitedly lowered his voice and said in a tone that continued to be mysterious: "That is a child who carries the name of the world."
……
"Hmm." The hot grilled sausages emitted bursts of heat in the winter air, and the scalded girl whimpered softly.
Su Jue looked at Kiana who was wolfing down her food with a smile, and reached out to wipe the yellow mustard off her cheek.
"Don't be so anxious. They can't catch up so quickly."
"Mmmmm." Hearing Su Jue's voice, Kiana wanted to answer, but the thing in her mouth was too hot, so she could only make a humming sound.
Shaking his head, Su Jue motioned for Kiana to finish eating first. He also picked up the sausage bread in his hand and took a light bite.
As a country that focuses on industrial development, Germany's food categories are relatively standardized, with bread, cereal and sausage occupying almost all of the recipes. Even though the cultural trend of this era has reached its peak, most ordinary people still have bread and cereal for breakfast. The more luxurious ones will add some grilled sausages to the bread and sprinkle some yellow mustard.
I have to say that the pure meat sausage bread tastes really good and the portion is quite large. With Su Jue's appetite, it seems that he may not be able to finish it.
When Kiana finished her bread, Su Jue still had more than half of it left. He tore off the second half of his own and gave it to Kiana.
"I am full."
As a phantom that manifested according to his own cognition, Su Jue knew Kiana's appetite very well. Even if the bread was sufficient, it would only make Kaslana half full at most. He forced the bread into Kiana's hand and said seriously, "No, you didn't."
"..."
Finally, as Kiana deliberately slowed down, the two of them swallowed the last piece of bread at the same time.
However, although the two of them had warm clothes and full stomachs, the money they earned was almost gone. Kiana was a little worried. She lowered her head and thought about where she could find a part-time job. She was still concerned about Su Jue's injury.
Of course, Su Jue naturally couldn't let her continue to do hard labor and be exploited by these black-hearted bosses. He took the girl's hand and headed towards the more prosperous streets of the city.
In this late postmodern era, cultural creation and clothing trends are almost at their peak. In addition to the passing vehicles on the wide streets, there are many street performers holding guitars or painters with easels on both sides of the road.
They put their distinctive wide hats on the ground and hummed the songs they composed. If the ladies with free time heard a good song, they would stop and put coins into the hats as a reward.
Not far away is the National Gallery of Art, and most of the people who pass by here are cultural enthusiasts who come here because of its reputation.
Su Jue used the remaining funds to buy some paints and set up a painting stall on the roadside.
"Uh, are you planning to paint to make a living?" Kiana was not surprised by Su Jue's painting skills. She had seen his magical girl comics before. She just wondered if this method would be a bit troublesome. After all, there were many painters around.
"To be precise, I'm preparing to sell paintings." Su Jue chose a good location, spread out the canvas, and looked at the passers-by coming and going.
While Kiana was still a little confused, Su Jue gestured to her and asked her to stand away for a while.
When several gorgeously dressed women came into view, Su Jue suddenly waved to Qiyana and said in a lively voice: "Beautiful lady, are you interested in letting me draw a picture for you?"
Before Kiana could understand the situation, the attention of those women was attracted first. However, Su Jue did not call them, but winked at Kiana.
Confused, Kiana walked up to Su Jue, not understanding what he was doing.
"Can I...can I?" she said tentatively.
"Of course, please give me a few minutes and I will draw your most perfect side." Su Jue looked confident and pretended to glance at the women unintentionally.
Soon, he picked up his paintbrush and started painting.
Su Jue's painting skills were naturally top-notch. Even though the painting level of this era was already very high, it was still limited to the 20th century. Soon, his paintings attracted the attention of passers-by, especially those women, who were completely attracted by his paintings.
The girl in the picture has a unique charm. Although it is only a painting of more than ten minutes, it has almost reached the level that can be used for exhibition.
A few minutes later, the painting was completed, and Su Jue excitedly walked over to Kiana with the painting.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?"
Seeing herself in the painting, even Kiana herself felt amazed. She could never imagine that she would be so beautiful in Su Jue's eyes.
"Full……"
However, before she could utter the first word, she was interrupted by Su Jue, "Are you dissatisfied? Sorry, my level is not good enough."
Su Jue suddenly became dejected, as if his paintings were disliked. Qiana hurriedly wanted to explain, but saw Su Jue making a gesture at her, so she had to stop.
Sure enough, after such a perfect painting was rejected by Qiana, Su Jue hadn't spoken yet, and the women who had been watching were more anxious than Su Jue, "You are not satisfied with this level, you really don't know the goods."
"Sir, please draw a picture for us, and we can buy it at a high price."
Su Jue pretended to be very embarrassed, but seemed to be hindered by everyone's enthusiasm, and finally had to nod and agree.
He painted very quickly and with extremely high quality, and the price of each painting was almost always pushed above 3000 marks.
But when Su Jue was frantically cheating people out of money, the neglected Kiana could only stand alone outside the crowd and watch him being surrounded by a group of women.
Until this time, Qiyana, who had experienced the baptism of the new era, naturally knew that Su Jue wanted her to be a sting to attract other people's attention. Deliberately letting her show dissatisfaction would make others have a mentality of "not knowing the pearl" and "picking up the leak", and thus subconsciously be attracted to Su Jue's paintings.
However, even though she knew this was just a way to make money, she still felt inexplicably lonely.
Just when Qiyana was feeling a little disappointed, she realized that Su Jue did not destroy her painting, but put it in the most conspicuous place as a promotion. She looked at Su Jue, and the other party looked at her as if telepathically, revealing a reassuring smile.
All the strange emotions disappeared, and Kiana suddenly couldn't help but smile.
"Idiot, why don't you tell me the plan earlier?"
Chapter 280: May Time Stand Still
Compared to working hard for a black-hearted boss, literary works in this era are undoubtedly a faster way to make money. By the time the sun sets, Su Jue has earned enough money for the two of them to live on for a whole month.
When he was closing his stall, many ladies took the initiative to leave their contact information and invite him to their homes.
Of course, Su Jue just politely smiled and refused, put away the easel and walked to Kiana.
"You've been waiting for a long time."
Seeing Su Jue and Qiyana so close, the first few people finally realized that they might have been tricked. However, for most people, it is definitely a good deal to buy a top-level personal portrait for only a few thousand marks.
"Is that girl the one in the painting on the top of the easel?" People were talking, their eyes falling on Kiana.
