I really don't want to cross

Chapter 364 Behavior

Through the alley, led by Buzz and Aina, Wood came to the so-called slums.

Even though it is just across the street, it is completely opposite to the bustling and bustling commercial street. Even if you have just stepped into the slums, you can feel an extremely depressing atmosphere.

The silent path seemed to have no biological breath, even... it was the same when seeing people walking among the randomly built houses beside the street, because these people were like living dead people, and everyone had a deathly look in their eyes.

And at the end of the slum, the tall and thick city wall can be clearly seen, which proves that this is the most remote place in the entire capital.

It is precisely because of the back facing the city wall that the air here has a musty smell. Under the cover of the city wall... the time for the sun to fall here is extremely limited.

"It's too late to regret it now."

Buzz looked at Wood's scrutinizing eyes, and sneered: "You probably have never been to the slums, this is not a good place for you, if you can't stand it, just leave, we can save some meals."

Aina also seemed to be hesitant, with a look of sadness on her small face.

"Little devil, with that mouth of yours, it's a miracle that you haven't been beaten to death until now."

Wood looked at the dilapidated street in front of him, and shook his head: "I was in a daze not because I thought it was dilapidated, but...it was very similar to the place where I lived for a while, with dilapidated houses and towering buildings. The walls, and the vibe."

"Ok?"

Buzz was taken aback, and stared blankly at Wood for a while, a look of complexity flashed across his eyes, and then he curled his lips: "Then hurry up, it's really troublesome to cook an extra meal when you go back."

After all, he ignored Wood, and took the lead in walking towards the depths of the slum.

Aina smiled at Wood, pulled Wood's sleeve and followed Buzz closely.

Although the houses here were built very casually, there were still trails. After turning around, the two children led Wood to a small courtyard blocked by tree branches.

The small courtyard is not big. There is a small path leading directly to the house in the courtyard, and the two sides of the path are full of crops. Judging from the wilting leaves... These two little devils should have no experience in planting.

Passing through the path, there is a large stone placed flatly in front of the house, and a few small stones are placed beside the big stone, presumably it should be a dining table for two small ones.

Seeing this, Wood couldn't help sighing.

However, he immediately shook his head. There are poor people everywhere in the world, and it's enough to feel sorry for them. He's not that kind, and he doesn't have the ability to meet and help each other.

Aina pulled Wood to the stone table, smiled and patted the small flat stone on one side, indicating that Wood could just sit here.

Wood nodded without refusing.

Aina pointed to herself, and then pointed to the fire stove in the corner of the courtyard.

"Wait first." Wood stopped Ina and said.

Aina turned her head with some doubts, but saw Wood handing over the vegetables that were carried along the way, and said with a smile: "These dishes are all my favorites, since I want to cook, please ask the little chef to help me prepare them." Work on these."

"..."

Aina was taken aback, and Buzz, who walked out of the room, took a deep look at Wood, hesitated and patted Aina on the shoulder: "Let's do it this way, he is a guest, if you can't meet such little requirements, then So rude."

Aina was still a little hesitant when she heard the words, but in the end she couldn't persuade Wood, and ran to start cooking helplessly, while Buzz followed Aina in a desperate manner and was responsible for collecting firewood for the fire.

By the time the meal was ready, it was already dusk.

This meal is probably considered a hearty meal here, a few cakes mixed with vegetables and a small amount of flour, a bowl of vegetable soup, and a fried vegetable.

Under Aina's expectant eyes, Wood picked up the cake and took a bite, then gave Aina a thumbs up: "Not bad, it's delicious."

But he lied about this. Bread without oil, salt, or even much flour, can only feel the bad taste of various vegetables mixed in one bite, and it can't be called delicious at all.

The same goes for soups and stir-fries.

However, seeing the appearance of the two eating with gusto, he was really embarrassed to say: If I knew it, I would have done it myself...

Wood has never been picky about food, so after a slight smile, he started to eat, which made him a little dazed when he looked at it twice.

The three of them didn't talk at all at the dinner table. After a meal, the sky was completely dark.

"Is what you said earlier true?"

While Buzz was washing the dishes with Aina, he turned to look at Wood.

"What?"

"It's just... the sentence that the gold ring is all your net worth, you must be lying to me, right?"

Wood curled his lips: "That's the truth. When I came, I only had that gold ring that was worth anything, and I got it from a friend now."

He didn't lie, Wood went straight to Academy City after picking up five hours, so he didn't have time to get any gold, that ring can be said to be the only metal on Vito Muroto's body... Or, this deep house girl, It's amazing to have a gold ring on your body.

"..."

The corner of Buzz's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Wood with as weird a gaze as possible.

Wood looked up at the sky, patted his stomach and stood up: "You brothers and sisters, rest well, I should go too."

Aina turned her head when she heard the words, and Baz frowned, "Are you going home? Or..."

"Family?"

Wood smiled wryly. There should be a shocking battle going on in his house right now, and Wood really didn't have the guts to go home.

However, his appearance misunderstood Buzz and Aina, and the two looked at each other.

Afterwards, Aina shook her head cryptically at Buzz, signaling him not to ask random questions.

Wood didn't notice the small movements of the two of them, and smiled at them: "The food is very good, thank you for your hospitality."

"Where are you going..."

Buzz's words paused, because Aina on the side tugged at him, and then made several gestures in front of him.

"cut."

Buzz curled his lips, and gave Wood an angry look: "My sister said, come back to play when you have time, but don't forget to bring the ingredients, otherwise..."

Snapped!
With a crisp sound, Aina slapped Baz very annoyed, obviously Baz should have filled in the ingredients.

Wood smiled when he saw this, and then shook his head: "Maybe I won't have the chance to come again, I will leave the capital tonight, and I haven't decided where to go yet."

Although nothing should happen as long as you don't get in touch with those people, but it's safer to leave here just in case, who knows if you will happen to get in touch with those people when you stay in the king.

A peaceful and undisturbed life.

Even if it is boring, that is the life Wood has always pursued.

"Leave the capital."

Buzz frowned, and Aina at the side showed a worried look on his face.

In the eyes of the two, Wood was only a year or two older than them. It would be extremely dangerous for a child to leave the capital alone.

Buzz opened his mouth, and turned his head for the last time: "You can do whatever you want, don't say I didn't warn you, there are many bandits outside the capital. If you have spare money, you'd better find a caravan to give some money to the leader. Let them take you a ride."

"Thank you for reminding me."

Wood smiled slightly, didn't say any more, got up and was about to leave.

However, within a few steps, he was pulled back.

Turning around to look, I saw that Aina was pulling the hem of his clothes. Seeing Wood, she pointed to the city wall and made a movement of wiping his neck.

Is this reminding me that it's dangerous outside?

Wood raised his hand and touched Aina's head: "Don't worry, I will be more careful, but girl, you have to remember..." He paused, and continued: "Don't be so gentle to strangers you just met. , and don’t take people home casually, it’s very dangerous for you children.”

"It's as if you're not a child, but you're a little older than me, what's there to be arrogant about?" Baz muttered dissatisfied.

Wood smiled and did not refute, and looked at Aina with a look of warmth in his eyes: "There may not be fewer bad people than good people in this world, and I am not a good person in front of you, so I can't do such stupid things in the future .”

Aina shook her head, pointed to herself, and then pointed to Wood, probably to express that she believed in Wood.

Then she pointed to the house behind her, put her hands together next to her ears, made a sleeping posture, and then made a eating posture, and then looked at Wood expectantly.

"..."

Although Wood knows a few foreign languages, he really can't understand this kind of body language...

"My sister said..."

Buzz paused, looked at Aina carefully, sighed when he noticed the expectation on that little face, and continued: "If you have nowhere to go, you might as well live here, anyway, the uncle in the front yard yesterday Sick and dead, everyone in the slum gave us his bed, and there is no shortage of places for you to sleep."

"Of course! It is absolutely impossible for us to support you. If you live here, you will grow vegetables with us and then sell them outside."

The corner of Wood's mouth moved slightly, although he was not picky about the environment, but now there are so many choices in the huge world.He didn't want to live in this kind of ghost place with two brats at all, and then eat that kind of... tasteless and full meal every day...

Simply abuse yourself.

however……

Looking at Aina's expectant face, these words are so scumbag that I really can't say them out, although if it is an adult man and woman in front of me, Wood can refuse without hesitation.

But this girl is really naive.

Wood smiled wryly, what he said just now was in vain.

This innocence is like those cursed children who were not taught by him...

"Cough cough..."

Thinking of this, Wood coughed in embarrassment, dispelling the inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart.

Aina pulled Lawood's sleeve again, and looking at the expectation on that face, Wood couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I suddenly feel a little regretful."

"..."

Aina froze.

Buzz on the side also turned ugly, and said in a bad tone: "What do you regret?"

"If I had known that I would stay here, I would have driven those three people away directly, instead of spending money to buy a way."

Hearing this, the two children were taken aback for a moment, and then Aina showed a look of joy on her face, and happily shook Wood's arm.

It is probably because most believers of Sleeping God Physique are related to loli. Even Wood himself does not know that he has a natural affinity for little loli. It can be said that basically a little girl will feel that this big brother is very friendly. , is worthy of their trust.

Otherwise, Aina would not invite Wood to stay here. It can be said that a large part of the reason is due to his sleepy body called 'Sleeping God', but the development direction has completely deviated.

"Just you?"

Buzz looked Wood's thin body up and down, and then curled his lips: "If you are really capable, you can grab it back now."

"Now then..."

Wood curled his lips: "Probably too late."

"Why?" Buzz was taken aback.

"Because those three little bastards are all a little clever." Wood smiled: "This can be seen from the fact that they resisted the temptation of the gold ring and did not follow me, but robbed you two. I think they misunderstood me like you I am the young master of a nobleman, so I am afraid of revenge or hiding my guards secretly, so I gave up the idea of ​​robbing me."

Buzz was startled, and after pondering for a long time, he understood what Wood said: "But what does it have to do with getting back the ring?"

"This is a typical psychology of small people taking advantage. If you pick up a large sum of money, and you know that the owner is someone you can't afford, and you are reluctant to return the money, what should you do at this time? "

Buzz and Aina both frowned tightly, with expressions of thought on their faces.

"Don't think about it. If you don't throw away the money, you will just choose to run. The farther you run, the better, so that no one will know that you picked up the money."

The corner of Wood's mouth twitched: "In the same way, facing such a huge sum of money, the three of them were reluctant to give up, and thought I was a noble young master, and they were afraid that I would settle accounts with them afterwards."

"So if they want to keep the money, they can only run as far as they can. The reason why they hesitated for so long at that time was that they were considering whether to kill me altogether, but they were afraid that there would be guards behind me, so they ended up holding ' At worst, when the guards come to the door, just return the gold ring' and made a choice."

"Then what if you don't leave?" Buzz asked.

"That proves that there is someone behind him."

Wood smiled: "He feels that the people behind him can protect him, so he doesn't worry about my revenge at all. That gold ring can also be said to be a test, although I don't care about the test results at all."

"..."

Buzz and Aina thought about it carefully, and in the end they couldn't help but look at Wood strangely.

"Let's not talk about how confident you are that you can beat three adults. I don't understand why you said that you chose to drive those three away when you stayed? And why didn't you drive them away at that time, but Gave them golden rings."

"It's easy!"

Wood looked at the puzzled eyes of Aina and Buzz, and smiled very proudly. Sure enough, he really liked the feeling of teaching the kid.

"When I handed over the ring, I was planning to leave the capital directly. Although I could try to beat up a few people and drive them away quickly. But after I did that, I patted my ass and left, and their revenge would be the same. will fall on you."

"Then..."

"Just kill people and silence them?"

Wood shook his head at Buzz: "When I found them, those three people were already watching the two of you, so it's impossible to be sure whether the three of them had talked to others about the idea of ​​robbing the two of you.

"That's why it's okay to kill people to silence them, but once the news spreads, it is very likely to cause trouble. Even if there are big people behind them, there may not be no friendship between the punks. Their friends definitely don't mind taking revenge on you two brats." .”

Wood looked at the stunned expressions of the two, and couldn't help laughing: "Although the chance is very small, in order to avoid the situation where I left and you were retaliated, it was undoubtedly the most correct choice to give the gold ring at that time. This is what adults often say about 'being a human being', if you don't cause trouble to others, you won't cause trouble to yourself."

"So never underestimate the 'little people.'"

"Big people like to use small people to provoke conflicts; and the length of conflicts between small people will cause conflicts between big people; this is the so-called causal relationship. If you want to live peacefully, try not to be involved as much as possible."

Wood became more and more enthusiastic, and finally began to instill his own way of survival in Er Xiao, completely forgetting that he taught millions of cursed children to be crooked...

The three of them sat back at the table after chatting. Buzz and Aina listened to Wood's speech with great interest.

"It's another situation if I choose to stay. Although I won't kill a few people at that time to avoid leaking the news, it is still possible to drive those three people away. If there are really big people I can't afford to come to the door , When the time comes, kneel down and kowtow, present the golden ring respectfully, and then promise how much money you will give to the big man every month in the future, and this matter will naturally be resolved."

"..."

Buzz rolled his eyes, and said in a smug tone, is it really okay?
Aina on the side also had a strange look on her face.

"Of course, I won't leave. If there are really important people behind them who are not afraid of my revenge, they may come to rob me in the future. It will be the same choice at that time. If you have money, you can pay it. If you don't have money, you can beg for a few days of grace. Maybe you don't believe it, but for me, making money is easier than stealing money, and it's not worth getting into trouble because of such a trivial matter."

"... Blow, you keep blowing."

"hey-hey."

Wood smiled: "It doesn't matter if you pretend to be me, but you must remember that life is always more important than money, no matter how hard your life is."

"Naive!" Buzz snorted coldly, "If you don't have money, you're not far from death."

"At least there's hope, isn't there?"

Wood sneered: "If you die, there is really no hope."

clap clap~~
Aina clapped her hands, her little head bit by bit, expressing her agreement.

Buzz curled his lips when he saw this, but he didn't know how to refute Wood's set of fallacies.

"And it's also a private experiment."

Wood shook his head: "It can't be called an experiment, it can only be said to avoid some troubles that should have occurred. If the three of them really leave the capital as I expected, then this experiment can be said to have officially started. If it is successful .In the future, even if you stay in the capital, life will be much calmer, after all, those three people are an opportunity!"

Buzz and Aina looked at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

However, the two didn't ask too much.

Buzz recalled what happened today, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth: "So after you found out that the three of us were spying on the two of us, you thought so much in such a short period of time?"

"Strictly speaking, I only started thinking about these after I found out that the three of them didn't follow me, but chose to rob you. My own habit is to think about all the adverse consequences first."

"..."

Buzz and Aina looked at Wood as if they were monsters.

"If you encounter similar situations in the future, you can try to recall what I said, but there is a premise that must be confirmed..."

Wood seemed to think of something, and the corner of his mouth twitched:
"All I said is only for some smart people. If the other party is a mentally retarded person whose intelligence is below the average, then absolutely never use this method, but directly attack me to death. Because the mentally retarded The brain circuit cannot be guessed by normal people's thinking, if you do so, you will only be entangled by those stinky and shameless mentally retarded."

Seeing Wood's gritted teeth, Buzz's mouth twitched slightly.

How much has he suffered from the mentally retarded, so that there is such a big reaction when he mentions the mentally retarded?
