Chapter 284: Despair and Fear
Dead silence is as quiet as death, Lingxi and Xinying were taken to the so-called detention place by the demon soldiers, to put it bluntly, it is just a deep cave, and there are several layers of wooden fences erected at the door, which is no different from the pen used to lock up livestock, but now it is people who are locked inside.
The smell of blood, the smell of sweat, and even the stench of feces float in the air.
The cave was dim, with only a few torches, and the dark, cramped, cold, damp and harsh environment added a bit of despair and fear.
Lingxi frowned, found a corner and sat down, looking at the faces of the people around him, there was no longer the slightest chance of survival, it was worse than the walking dead, only a few painful moans occasionally came, which would make people feel that they were not dead.
"The best way to break people's will is to never let them see hope, and you have done a good job. Lingxi looked at Xinying beside her and said in a low voice.
Xinying was expressionless, not going to answer her question, her eyes kept wandering in the cave, looking for traces of suspicious people, hoping to find clues sooner.
"Don't be in such a hurry, it's not dark yet!" Lingxi closed his eyes after speaking, leaned against the cold stone wall, and fell asleep gently.
Xinying frowned, not knowing what arrangements and plans Lingxi had, so she also closed her eyes and recuperated.
"Mother, I'm hungry. ”
Not far from the two, a little boy shook his mother's arm and said.
Lingxi opened her eyes and looked at the woman unkempt, ragged, slightly sunken face, and her haggard expression under the trance light, obviously very weak, but she still had a smile on her face, gently hugged the boy in her arms, and comforted softly: "Xiaoyuan, just endure it a little longer." ”
"Well, mother, when can we go home?" asked the little boy in a low voice, snuggling his head tightly into his mother's arms.
The woman gently touched the boy's head and said, "Didn't Xiaoyuan forget? Didn't my mother say, let's play a game? When we win the first place, we can go home." ”
"But I don't want to win, I just want to go home, I miss my dad and my sister. The boy's face showed an aggrieved look and tears welled up.
"Shhhhhh
I don't know if she is about to become a mother, Lingxi only felt that the depths of her soul were deeply touched, she slowly moved her body over, and gently touched the woman's hand with her fingers, the woman looked back at her, and only felt that there seemed to be something next to her fingers.
Lingxi looked at her, shook his head slightly, and then made a gesture to silence.
The woman nodded gratefully, took the steamed bun handed by Lingxi, then wrapped the boy's head with her clothes, and handed the steamed bun to the boy's mouth.
Maybe he was really hungry, and the boy ate very deliciously, but he was also very sensible, and he did not forget that his mother was also hungry, so he stretched out his little head, handed the steamed bun to the woman's mouth, and said, "Mother, you can eat it too." ”
Although this sentence was said very lightly, the people around who were like dead corpses heard it very clearly, and a few hands reached over in an instant, snatching away the steamed bun in the boy's hand, and finally they didn't know that the half of the steamed bun, which was not big, was divided into several pieces and eaten by them.
