Chapter 6: The Devil

This man was the old man who had stripped off the dead man's clothes. The reason why he saw me stunned must have been that he didn't expect that it would be so long before I moved to this building.

He was cold and a little scared. After we looked at each other, he turned his head sharply and tried to flee out of the building.

But it was just a manifestation of his subconscious, where could he stay if he left here? He had to stop after a few steps.

Speaking from the heart, I have no grievances with this old man in the past, and when we first came to the island, he also indirectly helped us introduce the situation here, and he also helped us.

I fed him in a polite manner.

The old man looked back at me with a look of start.

But I smiled good-naturedly and gestured to him, which meant that I would go back to the house and not hinder him.

I did the same and sat back on the straw.

I savored the movement outside the door. The hallway was quiet for a moment, then footsteps were heard.

The footsteps were very heavy, it should be the old man's, after all, he was old, and his legs and feet were not good.

I made up my mind that I wouldn't look at him when he passed by my door for a while, so as not to put pressure on him.

Who knew that when the footsteps gradually approached, and finally came to the next door, it suddenly stopped, and with it, there was a commotion. The old man whined a few times.

I wondered what was going on? I walked back to the door with curiosity.

The old man stood in front of the door of the room where Brother Dao lived, his coat was gone, and he was even barefoot.

He was so naked, and when he showed it, it made him look even older.

I guess it's Brother Dao, this brute, who just suddenly came out and robbed the old man. And this old man didn't dare to fight with Brother Dao, nor did he dare to say anything to me.

He smothered his head, took out a limp and couldn't walk, and slipped past me.

I looked at the old man's back, and he finally got into a room not far away, and I guess nine times out of ten, this is his residence.

I put aside the old man first, walked a few more steps, and came to the door of Brother Dao's room.

Look at the posture, Brother Dao has just finished changing into new clothes. His eyes were almost swollen, but he still squinted and noticed my presence for the first time.

I asked him, "Why are you stealing other people's things?"

Brother Dao didn't answer, and he wasn't stupid, so he guessed that I was biased towards the old man at this moment.

He wrapped his clothes tightly around his body with both hands, sat down on the grass bunk, hid in the corner, and finally leaned against the wall.

In his current position, I want to snatch the clothes back, and it is very difficult to keep them accurate.

I looked away from him again and looked at the clothes he had changed. These old clothes are really unwearable, plus he was abused by Da Mao just now, and there are a lot of tears on these old clothes.

After being silent for a while, Brother Dao opened his mouth and said to me, "Brother, I also want to be comfortable, isn't that wrong?"

Now it's my turn to answer, and from his point of view, he's really right.

I just feel sorry for the old man, that's all, plus the old man was not injured by Brother Dao. I finally turned around and walked away with a muffled voice.

I thought about the egg I had in my pocket. I said in my heart that I could help the old man, at least give him the eggs to eat, which would also make me feel more comfortable.

I followed the hallway until I reached the old man's room.

The rooms here don't have windows, let alone doors. When I appeared at the door, I could see at a glance what the old man was doing.

At this moment, the old man was lifting the straw bunk, and under the straw bunk, there were still a few pieces of clothing.

The clothes were probably ripped off the dead man's body. I suddenly had a feeling, and I said that many old people are like this, and they like to save up good things.

The old man didn't expect me to come suddenly, especially when he noticed that I was looking at the clothes under the straw bunk, and he panicked, and jerked the straw bunk down, and sat on it again.

He whined, waved his hand at me, and said, "Don't come here." ”

I saw him like this, and I had to emphasize to him again that I had no malicious intent.

The old man didn't believe it, and from time to time he swayed around, trying to press the grass more solidly.

I don't know how he survived on the island as an old and weak man. But I added that if I wanted to rob him, I would have done it a long time ago, so why put it off until now?

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it. I was very reasonable, he was not stupid, and when he looked up again, he was much less afraid of me.

He asked me, "So what are you doing here?"

I didn't lie, and said I wanted to thank him because he introduced us to the island. I reached in my pocket and pulled out the egg.

I walked up to him and handed him the eggs, which meant to give him a meal.

I thought that such a thin old man would be happy when he saw the bird's egg, or he would just take it impatiently and eat it again.

Who knew that the old man stared at the bird's egg and asked, "This is what the jade fox gave you?"

I answered. The old man shook his head like a rattle, and said that the eggs were poisonous and should never be eaten.

I was confused all of a sudden, because I, Beard and Brother Dao, had just eaten this kind of bird's egg, and by now, we were all jumping around, how could there be any signs of poisoning?

I thought to myself, this old fellow, is he old and confused? I will peel the eggs in front of him and feed him them.

But as soon as I did this, the old man stopped me, and he put his hands on the hand that I was about to peel the bird's egg.

I think there is something greasy in this, and I asked the old man to explain it to me.

The old man must think that I am not a bad person, so now he still has a good impression of me. He didn't hide it, and told me, "This bird's egg is a seagull egg, and not everyone can eat it, like a first-class slave, who can only eat potatoes and some low-quality vegetables from the island, and as the retinue and subordinate of the pear king, he can only eat two bird eggs a day." ”

My first reaction after listening to it was that this indirectly shows that this seagull egg is very good, and it is also a luxury that only people with status on this small island can eat. But why is it linked to drugs?

I'll ask one more question. The old man's logic was not very good, so he changed the topic again, and replied that he was an old sailor before, and he went to sea ten years ago, and wanted to make a good amount of money before he stopped doing it, but who knew that he was caught by the Yuenan people and imprisoned in this kind of ghost place. Moreover, the situation on the whole island was not as it is now, when there were not many prisoners, and there was no talk of a land.

But five years ago, Yue Nanyan increased his efforts to catch people, and batch after batch of newcomers continued to land on this small island. There are a lot of people on this island, plus the forest is big, and there are all kinds of evil birds, and from time to time there are people fighting and fighting for territory. In the end, it also evolved into a situation where the southeast and northwest were divided into four heads.

The old man said a few words to the pear king. He told me that after King Pear became the ruler of the south, he divided his gang of prisoners into ranks, and also gave different foods to people of different ranks. Like those entourages who followed him, eating bird eggs every day, in the short term, the old man found that these entourages did not change much, but after a long time, the bodies of these entourages changed greatly, often becoming more developed limbs, becoming very powerful and strong, and the minds of these people seemed to have degenerated, no different from animals.

I couldn't help but think about Da Mao, and it gave me the feeling that Da Mao was like a vicious dog, and he even stuck out his tongue and squatted on the ground.

The old man spoke again, and finally persuaded me, that means, this bird egg must not be eaten, otherwise this person's soul will be gone, and in the end it will be like a walking corpse.

I don't know what to say about the old man's words, but anyway, what he said has a side that is consistent with reality, and a side that makes me feel ridiculous.

I also knew that the old man would not eat the seagull eggs even if he was killed, and I didn't want to embarrass him, so I simply took the eggs back.

I'd like to wait until I've gotten to know the prisoners here, and then I'll ask about the eggs, and then I'll make a decision.

Looking at the posture, the old man was not interested in continuing to talk to me. He curled up, as if curled up like this, he was comfortable. He also closed his eyes because of this.

I'm hesitating to get out of here. Coincidentally, at this moment, there were bursts of scolding voices in the corridor.

I could hear several people swearing and yelling, including the beard.

I remember that my beard had just itchy hands, and he said he was going to gamble with those old prisoners. My heart is broken, it must be because of this incident, what is the long-winded beard.

I ran out of the door of the old man's room and waited to look left and right. I saw five people standing at the end of the hallway.

The beard is in the center, surrounded by four men, and don't look at the tattered clothes of these four people, the size of their clothes is not right, but their expressions are fierce, and they look like they are about to do it at any time.

I was afraid that my beard would suffer, so I rushed over there.

Beard was looking at the four of them with fierce eyes, and his fists were clenched tightly. And my appearance also made the beard sneer. He shouted to me, "You're just in time, these bunnies are bullying newcomers, let's educate them well for their parents." ”

As soon as the four of them heard that Beard's words were so ugly, they suddenly exploded.

Three of them threw themselves at the beard, and one shouted at a nearby room, "There's a newcomer smashing the field, everyone copy the guys out." ”

And after this man finished shouting, he deliberately pounced on me.

Beard and I have experienced so much before, and it is not without a time when we were afraid of less to more? The problem is that some fights must be fought and won, but some fights are not necessary at all.

In the current situation, I don't think it's necessary to fight. I said in my heart that Lao Tzu didn't understand anything, so he had to work hard?

I dodged a punch from my opponent and took a few steps back.

The beard is really strong, and he has already started with the three men, especially when the beard comes up, he uses ruthless moves, and their fight is almost white-hot.

At this time, there was also a reaction in the room, and four more people rushed out, and they were holding things in their hands, some with pointed iron rods, and some with a piece of soft rope.

I reckon that on such an island, where there is a lack of materials, it is difficult to get a decent weapon such as a knife or dagger, but that doesn't mean that the pointed iron rod and soft rope are not powerful.

Poking or smashing people with a pointed iron rod or strangling people with a soft rope can easily seriously injure the other party.

I didn't want the current situation to worsen, and in such a hurry, I suddenly thought of a solution.
