Picked up by the Protagonist of a Tormented! MC Novel

When Kino woke up, a burnt smell rushed into his nostrils, like the smell of burnt meat. Although it was a little bit burnt, Kino still felt a deep hunger, and he hadn’t eaten for a long time. Second, he can no longer remember the taste of cooked food.

It was not easy for Xi Wei to ensure that he would not starve to death. According to their poor conditions, they could not afford such high-end food as cooked meat.

When he first opened his eyes, he was still a little confused, but when he heard the faint voice of a stranger's conversation, Kino fully woke up. He turned over and wanted to get up, but fell to the ground again in pain. When he took a closer look, the child The tender skin of his knees and palms was torn, and some of the wounds were still clinging to the dirt. His actions just now had affected the wounds, and blood was oozing from them at the moment.

Kino gritted his teeth, patted off some of the sand, and thought of the protagonist whose life or death was uncertain. A strong uneasiness arose in his heart. It looked like the sky and the night had already passed. Is Xi Wei okay?

He shook his head and forced himself to drive away those bad associations, and began to think about how to get out of the current situation. No matter how frustrated and regretful it was, it was useless to find a way to remedy it as soon as possible.

He passed out shortly after he was forcibly carried away by the drunk last night. Looking around, he found that it was a very dilapidated house with air leaks everywhere, and there were many puddles on the floor of the house. On the firewood pile, it is the only dry place in the house.

Loud arguments came from outside the house, and Kino endured the pain in his body, moved step by step to the door, and put his ears on the door.

"Bob, you are crazy. She is dressed so well and has such delicate skin. She must be a nobleman. You kidnapped a nobleman!" An old voice shouted eagerly.

Another voice didn't care, "Old George, you are really old, no wonder the recession has become worse and worse recently. Although the clothes she wears are good, they are old, and one sleeve is missing. Which nobleman would wear such clothes?" The clothes are clearly picked up."

Old George was not reconciled, "If it's a nobleman, we're both doomed!"

The drunk man was a little impatient, "Where are there so many contingencies, would a nobleman go to Pink Street alone at night? %&, my flesh!"

Old George remained silent and seemed to be persuaded. Kino changed his posture, but accidentally pushed his knee against the door, grinning in pain.

The two people outside seemed to have reached a certain consensus and stopped arguing. There was only the smell of burning barbecue in the air. It is better to ask for others than to ask for oneself. Kino began to think about how to escape safely. He had heard a lot about the kidnapping case. For the first time, he didn't know what to do.

Without waiting for him to think for too long, the door opened soon, and the drunk man he met last night walked in while gnawing on a chicken leg. It was obviously a bit surprised to see that Kino had woken up, but he quickly rubbed his hands, Put on a false gentle smile, "little sister, you woke up, it rained so much yesterday, it's not safe to be outside alone, uncle brought you back, didn't he scare you?"

Kino pretended to be ignorant and raised his face and asked naively, "When will uncle take me home, I want to blah blah."

A glint of complacency flashed in the drunk man's eyes, and he coaxed him, "Be good, uncle has already asked someone to notify you of Baba, and he will pick you up soon."

The corners of Kino's mouth twitched, and his face was a little tense. Is such a stupid coaxing method really bullying children who are ignorant, but of course he wouldn't expose drunks more stupidly, so on the surface he seemed quite happy. harmonious.

Presumably thinking that Chino would be a cash cow, Drunk Bob even offers Chino a piece of chicken.

Kino took it calmly, showed all his grace and patience, thanked him in a soft voice, slowly and frowning with his small white teeth, bit down the hard chicken with great effort.

Drunk Bob's barbecue skills were really not that good, but Chino still had to put in a lot of effort to restrain his urge to gobble it up, pretending to be reluctant to eat.

Bob saw it, and there was a trace of surprise and hesitation in his expression. For a child over one year old, having such a good upbringing really doesn't look like he was raised by a commoner.

Only by eating can you have the strength to run, and only by pretending to be ignorant can you let others relax.

Kino finished eating the meat, and thanked politely again. Bob thought of the rainy night yesterday, when the "little girl" was so embarrassed and still insisted on thanking him, and a chill surged in his heart, but looking at Kino's face, he turned his head again. This kind of uneasiness is forced to press down, and sometimes, people's greed will also bestow courage.

Kino didn't expect Bob to let him go just because of this concern, he just wanted him to hesitate a bit more, so as to buy some time for his escape.

Kino retreated to the pile of firewood, closed his eyes and meditated, and pricked up his ears to pay attention to Bob's movements. Bob seemed very satisfied with his well-behaved behavior and walked out after a few steps.

Now it seems that there are two people who arrested him, one is the drunk, and the other is called Old George by the drunk. For the time being, it can't be seen that they are organized. They should just work alone, which is much more convenient.

Old George never showed up, and I don't know if he contacted the buyer.

Bob came twice, both times to bring food to Kino, and Kino ate the food silently, waiting for the opportunity.

The time passed so long, and finally stayed up until night fell again, when the sound of conversation came from outside the house, Kino's spirit was shaken, and old George came back.

Bob was cursing, and the content of the words was nothing more than that no one knew the goods and would not pay the price he imagined.

Old George was rather timid. He hesitated, "Let me go see that girl again, or I won't feel at ease."

Bob despised his timidity again, and went out to get drunk again.

Chino pretended to be scared and shrank in the corner, and seeing Old George push the door in, he deliberately said, "Who are you? Did Baba ask you to pick me up?"

Old George was a skinny old man with a hunchback. Hearing this, his eyeballs rolled and he showed his sparse yellow teeth. "Yeah, you are very busy right now, let me pick you up."

Kino immediately jumped up, "Really, Baba is not angry with me anymore!"

Old George believed Kino's surprise, looked at his face, and thought about the price Bob asked for, he couldn't help thinking that he was kidnapped by Bob, if he could sell it secretly, he told Bob that the child Wasn't it beautiful to be rescued?

Chino was betting that these two people were not of the same mind, betting that old George also had greed in his bones.

So Chino grabbed Old George's trouser legs, and begged in a soft and waxy voice unique to children, "Hurry up and take me to Baba."

Old George nodded again and again out of selfishness. Since Bob disliked that five silver coins were too little, he, Old George, did not dislike it.

Both of them didn't want to delay, so they left smoothly.

Kino's palms were full of sweat. He followed Old George walking in the night, thinking of ways to escape as he walked.

Suddenly, a furious shout came from behind, old George was thrown to the ground, and Kino was also dragged down.

An angry Bob pressed on the old George, his eyes were red, and he kept punching. The old George was old and weak, whimpering and screaming after being beaten, curled up like a shrimp and kept begging for mercy.

Seeing that they were fighting fiercely, Kino got up without hesitation, limped and rushed towards an alley at random.

Seeing the money tree running away, the two scuffling people cursed and got up and chased after it.

At this time, the benefits of the alleys with nine bends and eighteen bends in Yesa City came to the fore. Kino turned at every fork in the road, and the two adults couldn't catch up for a while.

It was almost summer, and the wind was not cold. Kino was sweating all over his face. Finally, he turned into a dead end. There was only a dog hole in the dead end. Kino crawled into the hole without any hesitation. .

But he failed, Bob grabbed his ankle and hung him upside down, grinning grinningly, "Run, run again!"

Being hung upside down, Kino felt all the blood in his body rushing to the top of his head, and his face turned red. His worries about Xi Wei and his pent-up fear of the situation erupted. He struggled and said angrily, "Let me go!"

What deterrent can the words of a newly weaned child say?Bob shook the little one in his hand indifferently, "So what if I don't let you go?"

Kino looked coldly at this complacent drunk, his mind suddenly became clear, the speed of Bob's lip movement seemed to slow down, the grinning face was magnified countless times, and then the face became painful and ferocious, with slow mouth and nose. The red liquid slowly spilled out, and the hand was let go weakly.

Kino fell to the ground again, a pinprick-like pain felt in his mind, and blood overflowed from his ears, nose and mouth. He saw Bob keep bumping against the wall with his head in his arms, and then he couldn't hold on any longer. , fainted again.

He didn't see that the jade pendant on his chest emitted milky white light, enveloping him tenderly, when the light dissipated, the image of a beautiful woman appeared beside him, bent down and pressed a kiss on his forehead, and then disappeared up.

When the image of the woman disappeared, the jade pendant also shattered into powder with a "pop".

After an unknown amount of time, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps, and several warriors holding torches broke the silence of the dark alley.

"Come on, come on, there are two people here!"

The samurai saw that one of them was the child that the young lady liked very much. It was so miserable that the grown-ups felt cold when they saw it. They felt that he was still alive.

The samurai quickly sent out a contact signal, and then found that the other person was still alive or dead. Taking a closer look, it was worse than Kino. There was hardly a piece of intact skin on the entire head and face, and it was all hit by himself. I don’t know What was the stimulus.

Xiao Wu and Xi Wei came very quickly. When taking over the fainted Kino from the warrior, Xi Wei felt an astonishing chill. For the first time, Xiao Wu was frightened by his eyes, as if a horse had been violated its territory. hungry wolf.

Xiao Wu was made terrified by his appearance, and couldn't help reminding, "Let's treat Xiao Budian first."

Hua Li also nodded and slowly landed on Kino's head. She recovered some of her strength, and it was no problem to heal some scratches. Life is in danger.

Xi Wei tugged at one of Kino's sleeves, even though he was weak and crumbling, he still didn't want to give Kino to someone else to hold him.

Seeing his strenuous appearance, Xiao Wu felt a faint sourness in her heart. It was the first time Xiao Wu felt this complicated feeling at a young age, and it seemed to be called helplessness.

Affected by this heavy atmosphere, everyone silenced, and it was Xi Lun who broke the silence.

The man with the scar came late, with a mellow and sexy voice, but it's a pity that his words seemed so hateful.

"Boy, although you begged for my daughter, I was the one who helped you. How about it? What are you going to do to repay me?"

Xi Wei finally raised his head, "What do you want?"

The man with the scar put Xiao Wu, who kept pinching his soft flesh, on his shoulder, and said as he walked, "I'll tell you when I think about it, boy, ouch! Don't pinch Xiao Wu baby."

Kino felt that he had a lengthy dream, the content of the dream seemed scary yet warm, and then he woke up.

Xiao Wu's surprised voice sounded beside her ears, "Xiao Budian has woken up."

Kino felt his vision was a bit strange, he closed his eyes and opened them again, the strange feeling still lingering.

While he was in a daze, rough fingers touched his forehead, and Kino rubbed it involuntarily. The familiar touch made him have the urge to cry, Xi Wei is fine, they are fine, it's really great.

But before he was happy for a while, he saw his protagonist took out the dagger and began to shave his head!

Kino screamed and avoided, but Xi Wei still cut off his hair.

This wasn't over yet, after shaving his hair, Xi Wei continued to cut off the hem of his skirt, leaving only a pair of knee-length shorts and the top part of the dress, which looked nondescript.

Kino didn't hide anymore, he probably understood what the protagonist was thinking, seeing Xi Wei's still pale face and unhealed wound, he just hugged his arm silently.

Xiao Wu had a panoramic view of this scene that was supposed to be funny or warm, but she couldn't laugh. Thinking of the figure of Xi Wei kneeling on a rainy night, she suddenly felt that Hun Dan was not so annoying anymore.

Then Xiao Wu took Hua Li and left this small space, leaving the small broken boat to the two people who survived the catastrophe.

Kino, who was very happy at first, closed his left eye and then closed his right eye, only then did he confirm that his left eye could no longer see.
