From the power of space to the heavens 2

Chapter 212

"It's a sight."

Hearing this, the beggar with a sloppy beard laughed drunkenly, immediately tore the head off the half-cooked pheasant on the fire, staggered to the little blind man, and kicked him away. , and then threw the half-baked chicken head into the clean dirt bowl.

"Reward you!"

"You did a good job this time, and you will do the same next time."

Before the words fell, the moment the topic changed, the satisfaction in the tone changed to coldness.

Averting his eyes from the little blind man who couldn't get up, and simply brushing the strands of hair that hung on his forehead, the drunken beggar looked at the bodies kneeling under the skylight, soaked by the rain disabled children.

With a sneer, he pulled out a whip made of hemp rope from the tattered box beside him.

Very crude.

But for these trembling children, the deterrence is indeed enough!
With a sharp flick of the whip, there was a crisp bang, which scared the children kneeling in the rain to shrink back one after another, forming a small group.

But this does not give them much sense of security.

after all
The shadows in memory are not so easy to clear!
"Brother, don't beat him to death."

The remaining few beggars turned the pheasant on the fire, while turning a blind eye to the upcoming good show here.

However, watching a play belongs to watching a play.

If one is really lost, I'm afraid their income will be a little less.

Raising the whip in his hand, the beggar with a full face and beard said loudly:
"Okay, okay! I know."

"I just want to ask."

Holding a whip, he lit all the trembling children one by one in the air. Anger and coldness appeared on the beggar's face, and he said lightly:

"Who came up with the idea?"

"Who ordered you to dig the tunnel? Answer me!"

The suddenly raised voice caused most of the children to hide back in fear. There was only one child, although he was also hiding back, but the look of panic on his face couldn't be concealed no matter what.

Naturally, this cannot be hidden from the beggar's eyes.

after all
He has always fancied himself a sharp-eyed ranger!
although
This was not discovered because of any "sight-sightedness", but because there was a big gap between his experience and this girl's experience.
but no matter.
In this ruined temple, no one dares to refute this!
The small eyes narrowed, a cold light flashed, but in the next moment it turned into a hint of cat and mouse and excitement.

It would be too boring to kill chickens and monkeys.

Let a group of monkeys take the initiative to kill the chicken.
Wouldn't it be more interesting? !

In this way, it also cut off the idea of ​​these little brats running away in the future!
Even if there are new products added in the future.
Don't waste time, pick a leader among a bunch of people like today!
think of doing it.

After all, in this ruined temple, he really had the final say.

Skillfully brushing a whip, with a malicious and undisguised smile, this self-proclaimed ranger beggar held a whip and said to all the children kneeling in the rain:

"I have now discovered the troublemaker among you!"

"Now, I am very kind, and I will give you all a choice: take the initiative to confess the person who provoked the trouble!"

"Whoever confesses to that person first can avoid standing here and being poured!"

"Not only that, but you can also sit quietly and get a piece of meat like that little blind man who didn't inform you just now!"

"If no one speaks."

"Then let's get watered here together!"

"Until someone is willing to confess the troublemaker!"

"Now, who wants to speak?"

Obvious provocation.

Very poor distance meter.

But for these children who have no foundation of trust and only have the program of survival, this clumsy divorce plan is extremely useful!
of course
The same is true for this drunken beggar and the mob behind him!

After a brief hesitation, there was a burst of noise and discussion among the group of physically handicapped children.

But beyond all the children's expectations.

The devil in front of them didn't stop them, but held a whip with his arms folded, and the group of devils behind him looked at them with a smile on their faces.

Along with the cold came pain.

As the pain mounts, the precarious chain of trust is on the verge of breaking.

But just when the strife was getting louder, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

"Don't force them"

"It was my idea."

Wiping the red and black blood from the corner of his mouth, and enduring the severe pain in his internal organs, Lu Yuan's voice was weaker than ever, but he still groped and stood up, pointed at the source of the voice and said with a smile.

Quiet.

Quiet.

There was a moment of silence in the ruined temple.

Whether it's the children's quarrel, or the many beggars watching the theater, even this beggar who is smelling of alcohol and showing off his power with a whip in his hand; all of them seem to have been pressed the pause button, and the expressions on their faces have fallen into silence. state.

Only the bonfire lit next to it seemed to have sensed something, beating inappropriately, and at the same time made a crisp but low crackling sound.

And it was precisely this crackling sound that broke the moment of silence in the temple.

Angrily, he flicked his whip at the ragged children, ignoring the sudden screams; the scruffy bearded beggar strode forward like a chicken, and mercilessly grabbed Lu Yuan. thrown into the rain.

At the same time, he said coldly:

"Come back here!"

"This time, there is a bastard who has carried the knife for some of you!"

"next time."

"But there is no such good thing!"

More than [-] children looked at each other in dismay, hesitantly looking at this alcohol-smelling devil secretly, and a few brave children even tried to drag Lu Yuan, who didn't know what to do, trying to drag this innocent little blind man out of the rain.

But immediately, a merciless whip left a clear bloodstain on his arm.

"If you still plan to stay with him."

"Then continue."

A gloomy voice sounded, and only a few more courageous children were frightened.

You can't blame these kids for not being brave enough.

After all, they only have the most basic conscience.

Unfortunately, at this time, conscience is undoubtedly a worthless thing, and even the most basic hunger cannot be relieved.

So is bravery.

It wasn't until seeing the devil in front of him raising his whip again that the children with handicapped hands and feet lowered their heads and helped each other back into the darkness.

There was only a little blind man who couldn't see clearly, in the place where the skylights of the ruined temple were the most densely populated, being irrigated by the drizzle but non-stop light rain in the sky, and soaked in the pool of water without knowing his life or death.

　After getting wet from the rain, you should rush home and take a hot bath in time, otherwise you will easily catch a cold and have a fever.

　　But for a beggar.
　　Both are dead ends.
