Chapter 15: Mr. Pi
"Uncle!" Leah was so frightened by these words that she was busy opening her eyes and stood up suddenly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Suddenly, Leah's hard head hit the man who was approaching her in front of her, Leah took two steps back, leaned against the cold wall and stared at him tightly. I am afraid that the man in front of me will continue to do things with bad intentions.
The thick-voiced man was hit in the chin and took two steps back, but he turned his head helplessly to look at the middle-aged man behind him as if he hadn't been hurt, and didn't continue to make any moves on Leah.
The man with a rough voice in front of him, about thirty years old, was quite young-looking, burly, with many thick but unshaved sideburns on his face and chin, which felt very prickly to the touch, he was dressed ordinary, and his whole body was just a simple brown.
Behind him was a middle-aged man of a slightly older grade, about forty years old, his whole body was very clean, and he was wearing a layer of silk light onion satin, looking at her calmly.
"Arrested!" the middle-aged man said indifferently.
"Yes. The rough-voiced man didn't say much, nodded, and lunged at Leah.
Seeing the middle-aged man who was the leader giving the order and moving without hesitation in a rough voice, Leah was startled and fled to the side. Shouting loudly while running. "Ahh No matter how loud she screamed, no one paid attention to her.
didn't run a hundred meters away, and Leah found that the rough voice didn't chase her, and she still had time to be happy. "Smack. In a panic, he crashed into a man's arms.
The man who was bumped by the girl smiled, agile, and quickly turned Leah's hands behind her and twisted her back, which suddenly made her unable to resist.
"Where are you going?" the man spoke, his voice was thin, it was the man with a thin voice just now, Leah was a little helpless, why didn't she see the figure of the man with a thin voice just now, why did she suddenly come to front of her.
When Leah met a man with such a speed, she had to admit that she was unlucky, and said with a bitter face: "Uncle, in fact, I don't want to go anywhere!" As soon as the words changed, Leah grinned, and did not resist much, turned her back to the man and said: "But, uncle, your speed is so fast! Why did you suddenly run in front of me? Uncle, can you demonstrate again, so that I can open my eyes? You see that I am thin, how can I outrun you, you can try to run a few kilometers, and I will help you calculate the time! How about it, so that you can have a good experience of your own strength!"
"And from now on, you'll have one more person who admires you!" Leah didn't stop talking for a moment. The thin man in front of him actually used words of praise, but as a middle-aged subordinate, he naturally wouldn't be confused by the girl's words.
"Don't be clever. At your speed, even if you run a few thousand meters, I can indeed catch it back in one fell swoop!" The soft-throated man let go of his grip on Leah's wrists and pushed her forward, Leah staggered forward two steps, obviously, what he had just said still had some effect.
But it was still a little short of the actual effect, and there was no such thing as the man letting her go after hearing it.
"Oh, uncle, you're amazing. Leah's plan failed, and she said a little nonchalantly. There were other thoughts of escaping in his mind. At the same time, he turned to look at the man who had just dragged her back.
It was a slightly thin man, he was not much different from the thick voice and the height of the man in luxurious clothes, there was no special place on his face, and he was dressed in the same brown Rob coarse clothes as the man with a thick voice. However, she didn't dare to run away again easily.
The thin voice seemed thin and had no strength, but just now Leah's hands were clamped against his speed, and he knew that he couldn't resist. If he runs away again, he will be more vigilant and cautious about her.
The thin man bowed to the calm man. "Mr. Pi, get it back. ”
"Hmm. The calm man nodded slightly and asked Leah, "What's your name?"
"Leah. Without hesitation, I told her her real name.
Mr. Pi showed a smile: "Hello, Leah, you can call me Mr. Pi, my job is to help some families and gather a few attendants. ”
Mr. Pi thought that the explanation was clear enough, and that squire was a profession known to most people. But the girl in front of her obviously didn't understand.
"Uh-huh, so it's a child trafficker?" asked Leah curiously.
“。 Mr. Pi was silent, "I'm sorry, Leah, I may have been a little prejudiced against you just now, but I'm not what you think, the kind of kidnapper you do, I do something completely formal and in line with the regulations of the Mese Continent." It's the gathering of attendants. Mr. Pi patiently explained, not much dissatisfied with what Doria had said.
"Therefore, I am willing to give you clothes, food, and money, and I hope that you will grant me a small request, that is, to ride in my carriage and be a squire of the family. I believe that the role of squire is very suitable for you, and it is urgently needed!" Mr. Pi continued to speak indifferently.
For a girl in ragged clothes who sleeps directly by the city wall, three basic things have a fatal attraction to them. He wouldn't have believed that anyone would reject him. Not to mention being a squire in a family, which would not have been so undermanned if it hadn't been for the events that had happened recently.
"Finished?" Leah nodded.
"Yes, Leah, will you grant me this little request, and once you agree to me, then you will be able to put on clean clothes, and you will be given enough food to satisfy your hunger, and even money for a little effort! and you will be able to enter a family as a member of theirs!" Mr. Pi made his voice seductive.
"Finished?" Leah nodded again, repeating the question.
"Yes, Leah, can you agree to this condition that is so much needed for you. "Mr. Pi doesn't think that a little girl about ten years old can have any climate, those people he has seen in the past will not hesitate to decide when he hears the first sentence, and when he hears that he joins the family, he will even dance happily.
"Oh, then I'm leaving. Don't look for me if you're fine!" Leah came back to her senses, blinked, and stretched out her right hand in a gesture of goodbye. Isn't this a human trafficker, she muttered to herself.
This behavior surprised Mr. Pi slightly, but there was not much emotional fluctuation when Leah turned around and planned to leave. For the delicate figure, he said indifferently again: "I'm sorry, I've had some difficulties with this matter recently, and I don't want you to resist me anymore!" Although he apologized verbally, he couldn't see any meaning on his face.
The soft-voiced man raised his hands, and as soon as Mr. Leather in front of him spoke, he would step forward and grab Leah.
Leah pulled the corners of her mouth after hearing Mr. Pi's words, she really deserved to be a cultural person, and she apologized by the way when she threatened others, and she also understood that Mr. Pi was not a guy who was easy to deal with, and she would never let her go easily, so she thought about it a little and stopped.
Turning to them, he said, "Okay, since you're in trouble, I'll help you get down." Actually, I am also a warm-hearted person, and I will help others if they have any difficulties! For example, I usually help the old man to cross the road, and I will also help the neighbor's clothes to be collected under the canopy! So, seeing that I am so reliable, tell me anything you have!"
"Get in the car. Mr. Pi didn't say anything about what Leah said, but let his thin throat pull open the heavy curtain and make an inviting gesture to the inside of the carriage, and Leah had to get into the carriage under the watchful eyes of the two.
The thin voice also followed Mr. Pi into the carriage. As the carriage started, he saw Leah's posture and didn't move very calmly, so he warned her: "The wing room has been reinforced, except for the carriage entering the door, don't think about rushing out of the window on the side again!"
"And the entrance is guarded by Sang Hou, so don't be delusional!"
"Thank you, uncle!" replied Leah casually. "But this carriage is quite big, it looks like it can squeeze a few more people, according to this, you shouldn't be a black car or something, right? It's not right, like me, I look poor, I don't have money, you see I only have fruit in my pocket, why don't you give you a few and let me get off the train?"
Leah said, surveying her surroundings.
The whole carriage is very spacious, and the effective use of space is about three meters long and two meters wide, and the height is so high that she can't stand up to her head. It was clean and free of clutter, except for three rows of chairs on the side, covered with a thin layer of gray fur, all of which were fixed to the wooden wall of the carriage, which seemed to seat many people.
I found a place by the window and sat down at will, pulling the curtain cloth, and the outside was indeed as the man with a thin voice said, which had been reinforced with a very thick wooden stick, and at the same time a few rows of planks were firmly nailed. Only a few small openings are left in the middle for ventilation.
The two of them ignored what she said, and Leah pointed to the wooden board on the window without being a little bored, and asked: "Uncle Pi, isn't it strange to drive this kind of black car on the road? You see that the outside of your carriage is reinforced with wood, the air permeability is not good at all, and the outside is not beautiful, it is better for you to dismantle it first, and add a pattern or something, that is not more elegant, with your beautiful clothes, it is simply a noble identity!"
Mr. Pi smiled flatly, just glanced at her.
The man with a thin voice said at this time: "The carriage made of metal and engraved with the array talisman, the kind of carriage will wrap the whole more tightly, enough to resist the attack of fire, magic skills, and spiritual skills, this one is only used temporarily, so only ordinary wood is used, and there is no need to carve patterns, and the pursuit of beauty." ”
Leah nodded, and continued to ask, "Oh, uncle, why don't you use the metal black car temporarily?" She was caught in the car by Mr. Pi and Thin Throat, and decided that the carriage they bought was a black car, so she clenched the 'two words' and didn't let go.
The thin voice glanced at her a little speechlessly, he also noticed the word, but continued, "The metal carved battle talisman is already extremely expensive, not to mention the whole carriage, if it is used for ordinary and temporary use, it will be reinforced with wood. ”
Mr. Pi smiled faintly and continued. "If you want to use metal, you really need to make some money. After saying that, he also glanced at Leah with strange eyes.
"Mmmm, if you don't have money, you have to earn it, it's a good thing for a man to have ambitions, I wish Mr. Pi you an early purchase of a level 7 all-metal washing carriage!But I'm so sorry that I don't have the money, I can't fund your potential stock, I have to support you mentally, don't forget me when you get benefits in the future!" Leah seemed to be very touched by Mr. Pi's casual words, and patted Mr. Pi on the shoulder as she spoke.
Mr. Pi smiled, and didn't react when he was patted on the shoulder by Leah, but waved his hand to let the thin-throated man who had just been on guard sit down, "Leah, I really need your help at the moment, Mr. Pi's future carriage money will depend on you, and I will definitely not forget you as a good person!"
"Oh, Mr. Pi, how are you going to let me help you!" Leah said without hesitation with a wave of her hand, looking like a believer who had been bewitched by a bet, without hesitation.
"You're not afraid to buy you into the slave market?" asked in a thin voice, the girl in front of her seemed quite shrewd just now, how could she be confused now.
Leah smiled mysteriously and said casually, "It's okay! I'll shout at your dad there! You actually sold your children ruthlessly and unjustly! What a thing that people and gods are angry about! Then the whole market will quickly know that there is such a cruel family member, and you will be arrested by the big man before you go out of the gate, first beaten violently, and then confess me and leave!"
Mr. Pi didn't react, and his thin throat suddenly felt a chill.
Although Leah was talking about it, she was also thinking quickly in her heart, and although Mr. Pi and Thin Throat were worried that I would escape, they didn't use coercive means to tie me up!
Secondly, as with coercion, Mr. Pi has repeatedly asked me if I want to go with him, if they really want to take her to the slave market, they will not give such a good face! Not to mention that seeing her wake up and give her a stick to make her faint, it will be much easier to deal with later, once she enters the real market, Leah thinks that she will never be able to escape in a short time.
At the same time, Mr. Pi's tone is very flat, as if he is a little irrelevant, but in some places, he is a little tough, such as asking Leah to go with them, get into the carriage, and never stop asking her to stay, Mr. Pi is being entrusted with something, and this thing is almost the same as what he has done before.
But this matter seems more simple and ordinary, like a small thing to him, so Mr. Pi has always seemed plain and ordinary, but his thin voice and Sang Hou are a little hesitant and nervous.
Lia suddenly figured out some of these things, and suddenly threatened them, "Mr. Pi, I guess you used to be a human trafficking boss, but then you didn't know what stimulated you to stop doing it, and now you are invited by a friend and decide to do something ordinary, but you have a condition, you must leave me behind." If I find an opportunity to disclose your appearance and information to outsiders in the future, I'm afraid you will be very sad, right?"
Leah put them to the test.
It's a threat, and if it doesn't do anything for them, or if it's not heralded, then they won't do anything extra, and if so, then Leah can say that she's safe, and there's absolutely no danger going to the next place.
The more tragic environment is absolutely unlikely to let her go.
But as if to verify Leah's thoughts, Mr. Pi still maintained a flat smile, and the thin voice on the side was suddenly a little stunned.
He also heard everything the girl said on the side, the first few sentences are not important, but there is indeed a slight risk of revealing their identities and appearances, but this cannot be ignored either, he looks at Mr. Pi from time to time, wondering what decision he is going to make, but Mr. Pi does not give any answer positively.
So he asked. "How did you come up with the idea to reveal our looks?"
The thin throat's face was solemn, his eyes narrowed, different from the somewhat lazy appearance just now, his body straightened, and his hands were placed on both sides of his thighs, although he didn't make any movements, but a faint momentum came from his body. In the past, if children encountered this kind of thing, they would either panic, which was a bad loss of control of their parents, or they would be silent and negative, or they would be dancing when they heard Mr. Pi's conditions, and they completely lost the idea of thinking.
And the girl in front of her is very different. So he had to pay attention to the girl in front of him, it seemed harmless, but he had to be vigilant, this could be a very dangerous person. It's just that a ten-year-old girl can always keep calm, observe in detail, and quickly sort out and deduce all the currently known knowledge in a short period of time.
Indeed, from the beginning, this girl has shown a completely different side from other children, and there has never been the panic, fear, or desire and hope that a girl should have.
At most, it was only a few loud calls at the beginning, and then there was no resistance, but chatting with them as if they were chatting, and every time they spoke, they talked a lot.
By this reasoning, girls may become life-threatening people. The thin throat knows that a small crack in it is enough to make a delicate piece of machinery collapse and become inoperable.
Mr. Pi still maintained that indifferent appearance, but shook his head lightly and called out to the thin voice on the side. "Sangping. ”
At this sound, the momentum of the thin voice suddenly converged. His back relaxed and arched, his hands resting back on his thighs, and he glanced at Leah without a trace, his head bowed.
Seeing this, Leah suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, although the thin voice began to be hostile and wary of her, but it was unlikely that Mr. Pi would arrange her to such a strange and miserable place as black absenteeism.
affirmed his thoughts and grinned, "Actually, I made up all of the above." Mr. Pi, you see that there are only three of us between us, and the black car compartment is so big, how boring it is to stay all the time, so I had to talk about it casually just now, if Mr. Pi said something interesting at the beginning, and the atmosphere was relaxed, I wouldn't have said that!"
"You say yes, uncle! You see you're nervous, and you can say something happy to make our journey faster. What's that called? By the way, if you tell a great story, you're going to have a relaxing and enjoyable time!"
Mr. Pi did not speak, he neither denied nor affirmed, but only maintained a flat expression.
At this time, the thin voice did not speak anymore. He reflected a little on some of what he had just said.
After a short silence, Leah couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to talk again, but then Mr. Pi suddenly showed a flat smile and said slowly, "I did receive a request from a friend to do something. ”
