I really don't want to cross

Chapter 363 What? (continue two in one)

"What do you want to do?"

The little boy protected Aina behind him, and looked at the three people blocking the way with a vigilant expression.

Although he was young, he lived in a place like a slum, and his understanding of certain darkness was much higher than that of his peers. He could guess the purpose of the three people in front of him with his ass.

So now he only hoped that the three of them could leave with a cold snort when they saw the tattered clothes of himself and his sister.

"Stop talking nonsense."

The white-haired young man who was the leader among the three stretched out his hand lazily: "Hand over the money you just earned, so as to avoid the pain of flesh and blood."

The little boy's face changed, and the other party's words directly made him lose his luck. From this point of view...these three people should have been eyeing him long ago.

but……

If the money is given to them, it will be the result of half a year of hard work between him and Aina, as well as Aina's expectations...

But the opponents were three adults. If they didn't give them the money, they and Aina might lose more than just money. If they resisted, they would most likely be beaten up by these three people.

If it was just him, he would still dare to fight with these three, but Aina is still following behind him!
Bloodshot eyes faintly appeared in the little boy's eyes, showing the extent of his inner struggle.

Wood in the dark shook his head when he saw this. This is the most typical way of asking for money but not for life.

Maybe this money is very important to the brother and sister, and they might starve to death without it, etc.

But hesitating for so long when he can only choose between life and money, it's a bit silly.

To save one's life, no matter how slim the hope of survival is, there is; but if one is seriously injured here, or even dies on the spot, then there is really no hope at all.

"Grinding and chirping is annoying to death."

The dwarf on the far left said impatiently: "It seems that you want us to beat you until you can't move, and then take the money away."

"and many more."

At this moment, a voice broke in, making several people in the field startled.

Wood walked out from the dark, and when he came behind the two little boys, he took out something from his arms and threw it out.

This scene changed the expressions of the three of them, and subconsciously took a few steps back, but then the three of them froze in place.

ding ding ding...

In the crisp collision sound, everyone present could see the appearance of that thing clearly.

Even in the dark alleys, the dazzling golden color is so conspicuous. This kind of thing that should never appear here makes several people stunned.

"Three old brothers, I will give this ring to you, how about letting us pass here?"

send us?

The three couldn't believe their ears. Judging from the workmanship, this ring could sell for at least a dozen gold coins. The other party actually said that they would give it to the three of them?

The white-haired young man looked at Wood with suspicious eyes, but in the end he still couldn't resist the temptation of the gold ring. He drew out his dagger and hooked the ring up. The two people next to him rushed forward to check the authenticity of the ring.

Final confirmation……

It was indeed a gold ring.

"Are you an idiot?"

The little boy sneaked up behind Wood, and whispered with complicated eyes: "Since you saw it, call the guards, why did you jump out and give the ring to these bastards?"

"Doing that will only relieve the siege for a while and anger them. The next meeting will only lead to more serious revenge." Wood curled his lips.

At first, he was indeed planning to give the ring to the little boy as a reward, instead of stealing someone's purse to pay. After all, as long as Wood wanted to, making money was far easier than stealing it, so he naturally didn't care about this little boy. a ring.

And the reason why he changed his mind was precisely because he found that these three people were peeping in the dark.

As the saying goes, it is a crime to conceive a jade, sometimes it may not be a good thing to get a huge sum of money suddenly, but it may cause trouble to the upper body.

According to his original plan, he used himself as a bait to lure the three of them over, and then handed over the gold ring to them, lest the two brats risk their lives for a gold ring.

But Wood didn't expect that the three little thieves would give up their big fish and choose to rob the two little boys instead.

But thinking about it carefully, Wood also vaguely guessed the thoughts of these three smart little hooligans.

Why do you say they are smart?

It's because in Wood's view, just because the three of them can figure out who can be messed with and who can't be messed with under the temptation of money, it can be said to be very smart.

"Are you sure you want to give this to us?"

The white-haired young man frowned, looking at Wood with suspicion.

"Ah."

Wood smiled slightly: "Using a gold ring to buy our three lives, this deal is still very worthwhile in my opinion."

The white-haired young man and the two companions beside him looked at each other, finally nodded, and directly moved out of the way to both sides; although the robbery this time was a bit weird, this valuable gold ring was enough for them to fight hard. once.

What's more, it was offered by the other party.

The three of them have been in this business for a long time, so they know that some people in the capital must not be offended.

It is precisely because of this that the three of them gave up the tempting idea of ​​robbing Wood after discussing it earlier.

A [-]- or [-]-year-old brat casually took out a valuable ring, which already showed that the background of the other party was not simple, and those in their line of work would not end well if they messed with such a person, so few people would settle for second best. , chose the slum kid who was easier to bully.

But the situation is completely different now, the ring is held in their hands so close, even if they know that the other party has a conspiracy, very few people can give up the windfall in front of them.

In case the other party is really a coward, the three of them may regret it for the rest of their lives if they miss this opportunity.

To put it bluntly, this is a common fluke mentality.

but……

Wood really didn't mean to deceive the three of them, anyway, he had already prepared to give away the ring before.

Although he could kill these three people in an instant if he really took action, but in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, it is more appropriate to spend money to buy the way.

In case someone among them is a relative of a strong person or someone with high authority, killing them will cause trouble for the upper body.

This possibility is low, but definitely not impossible.

The big shots are afraid of each other, and there are very few overt conflicts.

And conflicts are often caused by little people who are ignored by people, just like the plots that are often seen in novels, a certain bandit is the apprentice or son of a certain big man, but is killed by the protagonist casually, and finally attracts the big man's attention. Chase and wait...

This kind of plot is indeed ridiculous, but it is not without it. Even Wood has personally experienced that the god of the state religion named Eris is now a thief...

For the sake of a polite little girl, she can do things like this easily, but Wood will never do things like meddling in other people's affairs and getting into trouble.

"Just leave like this?"

Seeing Wood disappear at the end of the alley with the figures of the two little ghosts, the three of them felt even more uneasy.

What the hell is this?

……

"Hey, your brain is broken!!"

As soon as he passed through the alley, the little boy yelled with a troubled expression on his face: "Even if I give them the money, you can't give them the gold ring. Do you know how much that ring is worth?"

Aina on the other side also looked at Wood with an expression of 'hating iron but not steel'. Obviously, she also felt that Wood's actions just now were really stupid.

"This is your sister?"

Wood didn't answer the little boy's words, but looked at Aina aside, with some doubts on his face.

When talking with him before, she didn't speak, and Wood could still think that she was afraid to speak; but in the situation just now, Aina still didn't say a word, which is a bit strange.

The little boy glanced at Aina beside him, and said casually, "Aina was born unable to speak."

The two brothers and sisters have experienced this kind of problem a lot, so they don't think there is anything to be sad about, at least the two of them are still alive now.

Wood nodded. Although he had already guessed, after hearing what the little boy said, he subconsciously reached out and touched Aina's head.

"..."

Aina flinched slightly, but then she gave up dodging, but when Wood's hand covered her head, her body immediately became stiff, obviously not used to this kind of touching.

Wood also saw this, so he moved his hand away after rubbing it twice, and turned to the little boy and said: "Little devil, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, just give them the money directly, after all, you only have one life. If you are beaten to death, it will be difficult for your sister to survive in this kind of world by herself."

"I want you to take care of it!!"

Although he clearly knew that the other party was doing it for his own good, but seeing the face of an elder on his face, which was only one or two years older than himself, made the little boy very upset.

But after being silent for a few seconds, he turned his head: "Although your behavior is like a bad pen, but...thank you..." At the end of the sentence, the little boy's voice had become inaudible, if it wasn't for Wood's hearing Strong enough to hear what he said.

Snapped!
Wood raised his hand and looked at Aina who was ahead of him and gave her brother a shudder, his eyes couldn't help but become a little weird.

"Hiss... Aina, why did you hit me?"

Naturally, Aina couldn't respond to his question, so she responded directly with actions.

I saw Aina holding the back of her brother's head, bending him directly, and then bowed to Wood together.

The little boy suddenly understood what his sister was thinking, and reluctantly lowered his head: "Tch, thank you, even if you don't come, we won't have..."

boom!
Before she finished speaking, Aina pushed the little boy's face into the soil with a sudden force, and bowed to Wood with an apologetic face.

"..." Wood's mouth twitched slightly.

This change must be too big, right?

Obviously this girl was still timid and shy before, but now she is so irritable... This reminded Wood that he had understood a sentence a long time ago... After the cute loli was cut open, there were bears inside!

"Aina, you won't be able to get married when you grow up like this."

The little boy cleaned the dust off his face, and stood up very calmly. Obviously, that scene just now was not the first time, so the little boy who was used to it didn't feel any embarrassment.

Funny siblings.

Wood couldn't help smiling, even though life was very difficult, but the pair of siblings in front of him gave people a very happy feeling when they were together.

"Bye bye, brat."

Wood patted the little boy's head, but was immediately pushed aside by the little boy.

"You are the brat, my uncle's name is Buzz, so you are not a brat."

The little boy Buzz snorted dissatisfiedly, and then recalled Wood's words just now, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes: "Are you leaving now?"

"Otherwise, it's possible that you are still planning to invite me to dinner."

Buzz turned his head and waved his hand in disgust: "Who wants to invite you to eat with a mental retardation? If you want to leave, go quickly, mental retardation is contagious." After that, he paused and continued: "Go through this alley and turn left along the street. There is a small road over there to go back to Commercial Street."

Wood smiled when he heard the words, and he found that apart from his stinky mouth, the kid was actually a pretty good person.

However, immediately Wood felt someone tugging on the corner of his clothes, turned his head to look, and saw Aina pointing in the direction of the slum area expectantly, and then gestured with both hands in a gesture of eating with a bowl.

this girl...

There was a warm look in Wood's eyes, and then he shook his head with a smile: "Forget it, you don't have to be grateful to me, after all, that ring was originally intended to be paid by Buzz, but it was discovered that those three people were eyeing you Then I changed my mind, so I have nothing to lose."

"Ha~~~"

Buzz stared, and stayed in place for nearly half a minute, then rushed towards Wood directly: "You bastard, return my gold ring!"

"Hey hey hey."

Wood dodges casually and hides aside, looking at the maddened Buzz, the smile on his face becomes more wicked.

really……

This kind of cheating others, but still have nothing to do with their own feeling is really great.

but……

Wood looked down at the hands that were holding onto the hem of his clothes, raised his head and said with a half-smile: "Forcing someone to eat is not a good habit, is it?"

"..."

Aina was silent for a while, let go of her hand and walked towards her brother, then ignored Buzz's reaction, directly took out the coin given by Wood from his pocket and handed it to Wood, looking at Wood with a stubborn face.

"Hey hey hey... wait a minute... Aina, this is really not good, without this money..."

Aina turned her head and glared at Buzz, and made the brother shrink his neck. While closing his mouth, he winked at Wood...

What about your majesty as an older brother?
Seeing this, Wood was a little speechless. Co-authored, you are the boss when there are people, and she is the boss when there is no one?
"Tsk tsk..."

Wood clicked his tongue twice, expressed his sigh, then looked at Aina in front of him with a smile and said, "I won't pay if the cooking is not delicious."

Aina's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.

"Tch, don't force yourself to come if you don't want to come."

There was a look of complexity in Buzz's eyes, looking at Wood's eyes and said: "We don't have big fish and meat here for noble young masters like you."

"Who told you that I'm a noble young master?" Wood smiled, "And there's really nothing in this world that I can't eat except feces!"

"Who are you lying to? If you can take out that kind of gold ring at will, even if you are not a noble young master, your family is definitely rich."

"You guessed wrong."

The corner of Wood's mouth hooked: "Remove the remaining money in the wallet, and the gold ring I gave away is all my assets."

"What?"

Buzz was taken aback, and Aina on the side also widened her eyes, looking at Wood in disbelief.

"Oh really!"

"..."

"..."

"Idiot, Aina, this bastard is definitely the biggest idiot in the world!!"

This time Aina didn't do anything, but nodded in agreement.
