The Advent of the Infinite King
Page 1265
Yaoran has never been so satisfied with buying things before, but this feeling completely disappeared after seeing a little guy without knees begging on the street. Yaoran remembers things before he was ten years old very clearly. He remembers I was deserted when I was wandering on the street alone, and I remember the saliva that flowed out of my mouth when I was hungry and watched others eat.Probably because of Yaoran's experience as an orphan, he has different emotions towards these street children.
Yao Ran put down the things she bought, and walked towards the group of children on the opposite side.Just a moment later, Xie Chen was surrounded by a group of displaced children.Among them were some grown-ups who looked very down and out.
There is no way that no matter how many gold coins Yaoran has, it cannot satisfy the beggars in the entire city.What's more, these beggars who can never finish relief.
He Kuaiyaoran had already given away all the gold coins left over from shopping, and Yaoran walked towards the inn where Xie Chen lived contentedly, holding the things he bought.
But when he had just walked a few steps, he was suddenly stunned. He found that the child without knees that he had given to him just now was still kneeling there, and the small broken bowl in front of him was clean. Except for the same, there is no difference from before.
Seeing this scene, Yaoran was stunned. He didn't know why such a thing happened. He just gave him a lot of gold coins. Those gold coins were enough to buy a house in the outer city.Why is he still kneeling here and begging.
Yaoran is a smart person, so he knew that even if he went up to ask that child, he would definitely get nothing, so Yaoran felt that he threw all the things he bought aside and started staring at the child opposite.
Time passed quickly, and Yaoran soon discovered a pattern. Whenever the money in these children's bowls reached a certain level, two strong men would come out of nowhere and take all the money in the bowl.Then these children will go to another place to start begging again.
This seemed to have been negotiated, and no one among the children resisted or spoke.Just begging silently.Some children don't seem to speak at all.As long as they lived in the city for a long time, no one would give charity to these people, and those who gave charity were all guys like Yaoran who had just arrived here not long ago.
Yaoran's hands were tightly held together, and then he took out the combined crossbow he made from his arms.He brought this crossbow from Goblin City.Since there is Xie Chen on the road, it has hardly been used.At this time, it was taken out by him.
When the money in the bowls of those children became a lot, the two strong men still came out, poured the coins in the bowl directly into their arms, and then left proudly, as if they hadn't seen it at all. The contemptuous gazes of the people around him seemed to be something to be proud of.
But this time when they left, they quietly followed behind them.Yaoran didn't think about anything at this time, but tightly held the crossbow in his hand, and followed the two strong men through the dirty path.Yaoran seemed to be doing this for the first time to follow other people, and the hands holding the crossbow were already drenched with sweat.But Yaoran's eyes are still very firm.It seems that nothing can stop him from doing this.
After turning around and turning around, they finally followed the two to the outside of a small attic. It was very quiet here, basically there were no pedestrians, and even if there were, they left in a hurry without a trace of staying. There is something very disgusting.
Yaoran squatted quietly in the corner. He didn't know how long he waited. Finally, he saw the child who was begging outside before slowly crawling out of the alley with his hands supporting his thin body. Not only the child from before, but also There were children with other disabilities, all kinds, some without legs, some without arms, and even some with just a bare torso being pushed out.
These children were arranged in a row like this, and then they were inspected one by one by a bald middle-aged man as if they were being inspected. If they didn't like it, they would punch and kick them.Then the men around burst into laughter.And those children seem to have gotten used to how these people treat them.All the people endured silently, and no one dodged or resisted.
They knew that if they resisted, they would only be beaten more violently.As long as you endure it, nothing will happen.They have long been used to these things.
Chapter 211 Little Five
Xiao Wu is the name of the child who has no knees. He was not called Xiao Wu before, but he has been called this name since his home was destroyed by fierce beasts outside the city.
This is the name given to him by an uncle who is very comfortable with his smile. During that time, his father was eaten by a fierce beast, and there was only a younger sister who was five years younger than him, and a mother who was lying on the hospital bed and was about to die. , You must know that he was only seven years old at that time.No one in such a family can provide them with food.
And at this time, this uncle who smiled comfortably came to his home, and the food he brought to him, although it was only the most unpalatable dry steamed buns, still made him feel like he was back when his father was there, Occasionally, he would bring some rice porridge to his sister.
So the family of three relied on the uncle's relief to live like this.But even if there is food, without medicine, their mother will soon be unable to hold on. In fact, this is a matter of time, and the neighbors around know it.It's just that they can't take care of themselves, let alone others.
It was raining heavily and thundering that day. It seemed that the weather outside would be extremely violent when a person died, but no matter how violent the weather was, it couldn't stop the dead person.
Xiao Wu's mother died, he hugged his sister, nestled in the corner of the wall, looking at the cold mother's body, he thought it was the most miserable moment in his life.But it is not.
The mother's hand hangs down under the bed with no strength, stretching towards Xiao Wu. When the mother died, her eyes were struggling, no matter how Xiao Wu tried to make her mother's eyes close, it didn't work.The poor mother seemed worried about her son and daughter who remained in the world.But no matter how reluctant he was, he still left forever.
At the dawn of the next day, the uncle who smiled comfortably came again. He looked at his dead mother, still showing a comfortable smile on his face, and handed the food in his hand to Xiao Wu, while hugging Xiao Wu. Wu's younger sister quietly watched Xiao Wu eat.
After a whole night of fear, Xiao Wu was so hungry that he could only bury his head in the steamed bun in his hand.He didn't pay attention to the strange eyes of the uncle who smiled very comfortably looking at him.
After eating the steamed buns in his hand, the uncle said that he would take him away, saying that he was going to a place with food.Without even thinking about it, Xiao Wu nodded vigorously and agreed, her little hand tightly clutching the uncle's sleeve for fear that the uncle would regret it.
But when he was going out, he was stopped by another uncle next door. That uncle Xiao Wu knew about it. Their family lived next door to his house. When Xiao Wu's father was still there, this uncle often had sex with his father. Talking and laughing, very familiar, but after Xiao Wu's father died, this uncle never took care of them again.
Xiao Wu once knocked on their door to beg for food when he was so hungry, but he just threw half a steamed bun out of the window and there was no sound. Xiao Wu didn’t like this uncle, he thought he was a bad uncle .
At this time, the bad uncle was holding a pole in his hand and preventing himself from going to a place with food.This made Xiao Wu extremely angry. He hid behind the uncle who was very comfortable smiling, picked up a stone and threw it at the bad uncle.But the bad uncle still stopped them and wouldn't let them leave.
Finally, a group of scary-looking people came over. These people had bare arms, and each one was more fierce than the other.These people seemed to be with the uncle who smiled comfortably. I saw that the uncle who smiled comfortably said something to these people. In front of uncle.
Haha, that bad uncle seems to have finally given up, but why does he look at himself so bleakly?There is an indescribable feeling in the eyes.Xiao Wu's head was in a mess at this time, but his little hands were still tightly holding onto the corner of the uncle's clothes who smiled comfortably.
This was the stupidest choice Xiao Wu felt he had ever made.This is what Xiao Wu concluded later. Although he is only nine years old now, he thinks that even if he lives another 100 years, he will not make a more stupid choice than he did at the beginning.
After leaving with that uncle, Xiao Wu didn’t see his sister. He only remembered his sister when that uncle brought him a lot of delicious food, but soon the food in front of him replaced his sister’s in his mind. shadow.It was the best meal he had ever had in his life.
There were five small plates, and there was actually a big piece of meat in the middle. He only remembered that his father once brought home a chicken drumstick, and it was broken.
And now there is such a large piece of meat in his bowl.Under the approval of the uncle's smile, in the afternoon, he directly reached out and grabbed the piece of meat in the bowl, and started to chew it.He thought that piece of meat was extraordinarily delicious.Xiao Wu dared to say that this was the best meat he had ever eaten.
Xiao Wu's stomach is almost bulging after eating this meal.If it wasn't for the uncle who stopped Xiao Wu, he felt that he would definitely die alive.
That night, Xiao Wu slept in a very warm room. Although he was crowded with several children, Xiao Wu still slept very comfortably. That night, Xiao Wu dreamed of his younger sister. In the dream, the younger sister was crying. Then I dreamed of my mother, and my mother's hand was still hanging weakly by the bed.
And the younger sister was lying on the mother's body, seeming to be eating something, Xiao Wu couldn't see clearly, he wanted to hug her back, but he couldn't reach her anyway, finally, the younger sister turned around and took a look.This suddenly woke up Xiao Wu.The eyes of the sister he saw were exactly the same as those of his mother when she died.He stared wide open without a trace of life.What is left is despair and reluctance.
Xiao Wu woke up from the dream and couldn't sleep anymore, it was still dark outside, Xiao Wu gritted his teeth and wanted to go out to find his sister.But the door was locked outside, no matter how Xiao Wu slapped him, no one came over.Xiao Wu spent the first night at the door.
Chapter 212 Human Nature
Since that night, Xiao Wu has completely fallen into hell, and the next day he can no longer find that uncle who is comfortable smiling, and all he faces are those strong men with bare arms.They don't give them meals, and after the first day there is no such rich food.
In addition to water, they only have one dry steamed bun a day.The hungry child started to yell, but soon no one yelled anymore. Xiao Wu saw with his own eyes the most yelling child being lifted up by the ankle by the strong man with a grinning grin, and pointed towards the pillar above the entrance. Turned over.
Xiao Wu only heard the sound of bones breaking, and saw the child who seemed to be a year or two older than him bent back unnaturally. The child's spine was broken.But he didn't die.Later, Xiao Wu saw this child crawling on the ground like a monster more than once, begging passers-by for money.It is said that he asks for the most money, so almost every day he has meat to eat.
Xiao Wu can't do it, he just cut off his knee with a knife by the grinning big man.He remembers that day very clearly, as long as he thinks about that day, Xiao Wu can't help shivering.After that, Xiao Wu started his begging.Every day someone dropped a few coppers into his bowl.
Xiao Wu goes out to beg every day during the day, and sleeps in the shack at night. He is not the only one who sleeps in the shack. Dozens of children are crowded in the shack, but it is very warm, but there are always all kinds of bugs.
Xiao Wu basically dreams about his sister every day, and then wakes up in the middle of the night staring at the starry sky with his big eyes.Only by looking at the pure night sky can he stop thinking about his dead mother and lost sister.
Two years had made him thinner and weaker, far less energetic than when he was just brought here.With sunken eye sockets and messy hair, his body was covered with a thick layer of mud.If you lift off the tattered clothes, you can see his ribs one by one.All children are more or less the same.
Human beings are capable of anything. They have the potential to do great things as well as to commit evil crimes. The distortions in human nature can make the most unspeakable crimes become trivial in an instant.
But such unspeakable evils will never be lacking in such a prosperous city.It is not terrible to have such a crime, but what is terrible is to get used to such a crime.
Just like the bad uncle in Xiao Wu’s impression, even if he can cruelly shut a helpless child begging for food, he can’t turn a blind eye to it. Those dry steamed buns are a hope, human nature Hope, living hope.It is very rare to be able to give you a glimmer of hope for life on your dying journey.
In the end, the figure holding the shoulder pole kept reappearing in Xiao Wu's mind.He didn't know if this figure was his hope in life.But he persevered no matter what.live.It seems like that matters more than anything at this moment.
Xiao Wu misses his sister, his mother, and his father's broad palm.He missed all the days when his father hadn't left.
Sometimes life is more difficult to accept than death.Not everyone can bear such a day, just like the child whose spine was broken and turned into a monster.he died.
When he was found the next day, the body had become cold, and his body was straightened, and the body that had formed a U shape towards the back became straight.The boy's eyes were closed with blood on the ground.
Obviously he has the best food and lives in the best place, but he would rather die than live here.There are many examples like this.He's not alone.
And whenever a child died, there would be a meal of meat the next day.This is something that delights all children.Nothing drives them crazy like a full stomach.
So looking forward to the dead every day has become the only thought in the hearts of these children.As long as there is a dead person, they have meat to eat.You won't be unable to sleep because of hunger at night, and you won't be shivering because of hunger.
There is no meat to eat today, but Xiao Wu welcomes a fool.Yes, those big men call those who give them alms fools.And this idiot seems to be different from others.He smiled like the comfortable uncle who had carried him away from his small but sheltered home.
Xiao Wu couldn't help but glanced at him more, he found that there seemed to be something complicated in this uncle's eyes.But he couldn't read it.But even if he doesn't understand, he still likes this feeling very much.He felt that he would feel very comfortable standing in front of this uncle.It's like being in the arms of the present.No, no, it's not the same feeling as that!
Xiao Wu looked at Yaoran with big confused eyes, it was the first time he wasn't happy because of the money in the bowl, you know it was about his dinner.
Xiao Wu seemed to follow the person in front of him.But he knew it was impossible.Those who escaped were caught and punished.There was a child who had his arms cut off by the hideous man the first time he ran away, and his legs were cut off the second time he ran away.Then there was no way he could escape.Even begging is always being pushed.
The only thing that made Xiao Wu envious was that he ran away twice. Although his hands and feet were cut off, he had meat to eat during the time he was recovering from his injuries.This made the kid proud for a long time.I have been greedy for Xiaowu and the others for a long time.But he was afraid of pain, so he didn't dare to learn how to escape from him.
Yaoran crouched in the corner and watched the scene in front of him.He didn't make any movements, nor did he rush out, he just gritted his teeth tightly, as if he had something in his mouth, and then left silently.
After going back, Yaoran didn't say a word, and went directly back to his own laboratory with the things he bought.Xie Chen opened a portal in the room that can lead directly to Belly Mountain City.
Xie Chen looked at the silent Yaoran with some differences, this guy is not usually so quiet.But although he was curious, he didn't ask him anything.
Chapter 213 Qiu Ba
There is a very fine division of labor in the city, whether it is from the daily affairs of the city to the guards in the city and the execution of Lu Xing, there is a clear division of labor and detailed arrangements.Even a leaf from a tree that falls on the street is arranged for who should pick it up.If the person is gone, someone has been arranged to take his place.
The city lord's mansion, the law enforcement office and the city guard team.These three huge institutions constitute the basic structure of the city.The City Lord's Mansion is in charge of matters large and small in the city, ranging from the transplanting of trees in the city to the repair of houses and roads in the city.In addition to the most responsible city lord, there are also a group of subordinate officials below.There are thousands of officials in a large or small city.This is just the City Lord's Mansion.
Then there is the Law Xing Office, which is the main institution for the criminal law of the city chief.The criminal law office is mainly responsible for the work of sentencing and punishment.Visually speaking, a criminal law firm is an institution that judges cases and imposes penalties.It is a violent institution in the city.Whether it is the city lord or the civilians below, as long as the evidence is solid, they will be arrested and sentenced by the Criminal Law Office.Although this is said, no one knows if it is really so stern and selfless.
Finally, there is the city guard, which is the most powerful violent organization in the city. The city guard team is a team that faces the beasts outside the city.They are responsible for protecting the city walls and maintaining the city walls.When the beast tide comes, prevent the beast tide from rushing into the city.It is usually the most idle organization, but it is the most dangerous organization when the beast tide comes.As long as the people in the moat team have experienced the beast tide once, there will be no body intact, and there will be more or less scars.
It is precisely because of this that no matter whether it is the city lord's mansion or the criminal law office, if there is nothing to do, they will not mess with the city guards for no reason.This is a group of people who hang their lives on their belts at all times.They go crazy and no one can stop them.
Qiu Ba is a thumping soldier of the city guard team. He was originally a resident outside the city, but by chance, he joined the city guard team.The moat team is no more complicated than those institutions in the city.Paying attention to the mutual protection of officials and officials has all kinds of benefits.Here, as long as you cut off enough heads when the beast tide attacks, then your words will work, and everyone else will listen to you.Very realistic.But it is also very fair.
I have killed more beasts than you, are you not convinced?If you don't accept it, go kill more beasts and come to me again.I don't look at your strength or your official position here, only look at the head of the beast in your hand.
In fact, there are also grades in the moat team. Five people form a small team, and each team has a team leader, which is equivalent to a small organization of six people, and then five teams form a squadron, which is equivalent to 30 people. A squadron, and then a squadron leader.Then 150 people are a big team.
Ten teams form a battalion.A battalion is full, plus various logistics personnel, no more than 2000 people.Ten battalions make up an army, about 2 people make up an army, and an army commander is set up.
The army commander is the biggest position in the city's defense team. There are more than a dozen army commanders in the city.When there is no beast attack, these Hucheng teams have food supplies in the city.Even if there is no beast attack, you can enjoy this kind of treatment.
So don't look at the 10 people in the moat team.But it is very difficult to enter the moat team in this way.No matter how much the moat team suffered after the beast attack, the moat team will not easily recruit people.
Only those with the head of a beast can join the moat team.This is the iron rule in the Lake City team.No one can change it, no matter where you got the head from.As long as you hold the head of the beast.
Ominous beasts, not all wild beasts can be called ominous beasts.Ferocious beasts refer to those special animals that are stronger than tigers and leopards and are different from ordinary beasts. Ferocious beasts are generally more cunning than other wild beasts.Naturally, it is even more difficult to hunt.
When the beast tide comes, the fierce beasts usually hide in the ordinary beasts, and they are not easy to shoot, but as long as you aim at the opportunity, they will rush out from the herd of beasts and bite your neck off.Then move on to the next target.The most heinous thing is that the purpose of the ferocious beast is not to treat people as food, but to slaughter for the sake of slaughter.
Qiu Ba was originally just an ordinary mountain dweller who wanted to settle in the city, but during a beast attack, Qiu Ba's family members did not come to hide in the cellar.Qiu Ba was the only one left in the family.Qiu Ba came out of the cellar with a kitchen knife when the beast tide was about to subside.With blood-red eyes, it rushed towards a ferocious beast that was biting a strong man.Qiu Ba didn't intend to save people, and at this moment appointments are cheapest.His target was the beast.
At that time, all he could think about was his poor wife whose neck was bitten off and his head was crooked, and his son who was torn apart and only had one head left.
There are only three people in the family, but he is the only one left at this time.There are bones all over the ground, and there are scattered wild and fierce beasts that have not been evacuated.
Qiu Ba rushed over with the kitchen knife in his hand, without the slightest hesitation or timidity.A direct and extremely accurate slashed towards the huge beast that looked like a hyena.
I don't know if it was transported or what, and the first knife was directly chopped on the neck of the beast.But this knife was not enough to be fatal. The heavily injured beast turned over and glared at Qiu Ba, opening its mouth and wanting to go there, but Qiu Ba clung to the fur on his back. The painful beast trembled.
Although the knife did not kill the beast, it still took half of its life.Blood sprayed out all the time.The ferocious beast struggled vigorously. At this time, it already had the thought of running away, because the excessive blood loss made him dizzy, and his strength was much weaker than before.If Qiu Ba lets go at this time, he still cannot escape being bitten to pieces by this fierce beast.
It's just that Qiu Ba's hand seems to grow on the body of the beast, no matter how much the beast tosses Qiu Ba, he just doesn't let go.In this way, the beast finally fell limply to the ground.
Qiu Ba didn't relax just because the beast fell to the ground.He quickly rode on the back of the beast, and then slashed at the neck of the beast one after another.
