74. Chapter 74
When Su Bo was fifteen years old, he was picked up by a man named Huo Feng, along with four other children.
Three boys, one girl, plus Su Bo, the five children have been in Huo Feng's clutches for six years.
Those six years were tormenting for Su Bo, staying in hell day and night, and they couldn't even cry.
***
The man took them back from the garbage dump, Su Bo saw the man take them backstage, and then sorted out his clothes, and after checking the props, he picked up a confident smile and appeared, and when he walked behind the flannel, he also smiled and glanced at them backwards, a group of children instinctively felt timid about this unfamiliar smile, but Su Bo.
She may be older than all of them, so she sees things very widely, he thinks that the man's smile is kind, that kindness from father's love, just thinking for a second, Su Bo turned to reply with a smile, and the corners of his mouth were shallow and flattering.
The man was stunned, then squinted his eyes, and praised Su Bo's reflexes.
Su Bo quietly walked to a dark corner and observed Huo Feng on the platform.
He is dressed in a black tuxedo, the magic wand is skillfully played with his fingertips, he is a little older, he looks like a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, but he reveals a high-spirited posture, especially on the stage, and his performance skills make the audience amazed again and again.
He is like an artifact, able to conjure a delicate rose from the palm of his hand for no reason, and can also release a white dove from his sleeve, and even make people disappear without a trace in front of everyone's eyes, and let him suddenly appear in unexpected places.
Su Bo was completely attracted by him, and his eyes burst with brilliant light.
Not only that, as soon as the performance ended, many people threw money into a red box, although it was not much, but Su Bo still saw that after getting off the stage, a slightly chubby man of the same age as him handed him a wad of 100 yuan bills, which were red and particularly tempting.
The chubby man also said to him adoringly: "Huo Lao, it's really beyond my expectations, your performance is really amazing!" Next time, I'll invite you to Yingyuan! ”
Huo Feng smiled modestly: "I will cooperate next time I have the opportunity." ”
The chubby man laughed, and his mood was clearly happy.
Su Bo has been watching from the side, it turns out that he can still make so much money by performing magic tricks! And it can also win people's respect and good faces.
She felt as if she had dug a bright avenue, and thought that if she could have such a superb magic trick as his, then the children and her would not have to worry about eating and drinking at all.
Su Bo thought so much at that time.
Perhaps they were so fascinated by the stack of bills that they didn't think about why men would take them home for no reason.
What the child saw was completely instinctive, and when he saw which man Su Bo was going to, he hurriedly pulled her and didn't let her move forward.
Xiaoli was the first to speak, he said, "Sister Susu, let's go, let's go, okay?" I don't like this uncle. ”
Xiao Lichang is very cute, obviously a boy, his eyes are very dark, especially bright, his skin is like clotted fat, his mouth is pouting when he speaks, and his voice is soft and glutinous, quite a coquettish meaning, especially pleasing.
Xiao Li glanced at Huo Feng not far away timidly as he spoke, the two looked at each other, his smiling gaze swept over, and the small centrifugal missed half a beat, that kind of look was ill-intentioned, which made him very scared, but he didn't know how to express it clearly, so that Su Bo knew his panic.
just grabbed Su Bo vigorously, wanting her to leave.
Xiaoli and the only girl Yin Yin are almost the same age, they are not yet ten years old, maybe it is the same age between people, Yin Yin also pulled Su Bo's clothes, and then Yu Sen and the two eleven-year-old boys also wanted to leave.
But Su Bo only thought about the red banknotes one after another, and she was fascinated by money, she only felt that her younger brothers and sisters had never seen the world, and she was a little afraid of the unfamiliar surroundings.
She frowned, patted their hands patiently, and said to Xiaoli and them: "Sister wants to find money, so that you can live a good life, see, that gentleman, he can help us live a good life, sister has to beg him, beg him to teach us, beg him to take us in, Xiaoli, you have to be obedient, sister does this for you." ”
Xiaobai is the calmer among the children and the boy who listens to Su Bo's words the most, he tore away Xiaoli's hand holding Su Bo's clothes, and said in a childish voice: "Sister Su Su is also for us, listen to her, Xiaoli." ”
Although Yu Sen didn't speak, his attitude also changed, Xiao Li and Yin Yin also closed their mouths obediently when they saw this, especially Xiao Li, his eyes were still obviously resistant, but he still said obediently: "Sister Su Su, Xiao Li listens to you." ”
Su Bo is very pleased, these younger brothers and sisters of hers have always been sensible, as long as she wants to do it, they all support her unconditionally, even if this step has entered the abyss, Su Bo cried and asked Do you blame me?
The children said, "Sister Susu, we all listen to you." ”
***
Huo Feng finally took them in, and before Su Bo could say that he had already spoken first: "Your other friends can also stay." ”
Su Bo was pleasantly surprised, and nodded to Huo Feng busily: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." ”
She was so excited that she didn't think she was just talking to him, that she wanted to learn magic from him, and that she could take her in.
Yes, he didn't even need to pray, Huo Feng agreed, and Su Bo came back to his senses after those things happened afterwards, in fact, this demon had long been plotting against him, he was waiting for her to open her mouth and jump into his trap, but that was already an afterthought.
Huo Feng has a circus called Ying Yuan, which was famous at that time, especially his Huo Lao's name is famous all over the country, he is known as the top magician in China, his performance is perfect, superb, he is known as the veteran of the magic world by everyone in the circle, so he is named Huo Lao.
This was something that Su Bo only found out later.
***
Huo Feng bought a set of courtyard houses in the west of the city, the courtyard houses were mainly for circus members to live in, Huo Feng took Su Bo and the children there, arranged the beds and told other precautions, and left.
At that time, Su Bo didn't know why there were only a few children in the circus, but he just inquired about Huo Feng among the other members and knew that he was such a great person.
She wondered, why did he take in these children who didn't know anything when he was so great?
The reason is unknown, but fortunately, the people in the courtyard are very friendly, and the living environment is not bad, Huo Feng will be in the villa in the city center except for the weekend, and he will accompany his wife.
Huo Feng's wife is a well-known rich family in L City, it is rumored that they are very affectionate, Huo Feng's wife loves him very much, but it is very strange that they have been married for more than ten years and have no children.
Everyone speculated whether Huo Feng was not good, or his daughter-in-law had a problem, but Huo Feng once explained with a smile that he was now busy running around various performances and taking care of the circus, and the child's affairs were not considered for the time being, and everyone suddenly realized that Huo Feng was also a man with a lot of dedication.
Su Bo and the others lived here, and every weekend, Huo Feng would spare a little time to teach them the basics, and even paid for them to study and learn culture.
Su Bo was flattered, and even said that the master took us in, we are already honored, how can we still let you pay?
She was a little afraid of Huo Feng's help to them, even if she really longed for studying, that kind of campus life.
Huo Feng disagreed, saying: "How can my apprentice do without culture, isn't this a slap in my face?" Xiao Su, you are now fifteen years old, and you still understand a little bit of primary school culture according to what you said, then go directly to junior high school, as for other children attending primary school, don't worry about the money, it's not too late to pay it back when you can all earn money for me. ”
Su Bo was grateful, at that moment she felt that this man was really a good person, like an angel, but she felt that it was not good to spend other people's money in vain, so she took the initiative to set up an IOU, and then signed her name and handed it to Huo Feng.
Huo Feng was stunned, seeing her determined look, he stretched out his hand to take it, and when he saw her name alone, he frowned: "Why are you alone?" What about the others? ”
Su Bo smiled: "I'm their sister, so I'll pay for the money and I'll raise it." ”
Huo Feng raised his eyebrows and said jokingly: "Then I will accept this IOU, those children are lucky to have a sister like you." ”
Su Bo scratched his hair shyly.
***
So Su Bo and they took classes during the day and imposed contact at night, they had a weak foundation and had to grasp it from an early age.
Although she is very tired, Su Bo is very down-to-earth, now they don't have to worry about eating and sleeping, and they still have the opportunity to read, Su Bo sometimes wakes up at night and feels that this is all an illusion, how can she live such a good life, she asked herself again and again, huh...... She's met a good person.
But then many things gradually became different, in their second year here, Huo Feng began to appear frequently in the courtyard, and every time he would talk to Xiaoli, Yu Sen, and Xiaobai privately, but he didn't look for her and Yin Yin.
Once, when Xiao Li came out of the room, his face was pale, and his lower body was trembling, Su Bo walked into him worriedly and asked him what was wrong, Xiao Li didn't answer, but his eyes were hollow, which made Su Bo especially flustered.
Compared with Xiao Li, Huo Feng walked out refreshed, looked at Xiao Li, and then touched his head with a smile, Su Bo felt Xiao Li's body stiffen for a moment.
"I assessed Xiaoli just now, but I didn't expect his skills to stay in place, as the saying goes, no punishment and no progress, I let him split for twenty minutes, and now it is estimated that his legs are numb, Xiao Su, you take him back, so that he can rest, remember to supervise and let him practice!"
Su Bo was a little jealous at first, why did the master care so much about the three of them, regardless of her and Yin Yin, she thought about it and asked.
"Master, don't you have to take the assessment for me and Yinyin? We are practicing diligently now, just to be able to stand on the stage with us one day! ”
Huo Feng was stunned, his expression was a little unnatural: "I have seen you and Yin Yin privately, the foundation of the two of you is very solid, I am very relieved, it is estimated that these boys are not as careful as you girls, and they are sloppy in practice, so they will suddenly assess them from time to time." Xiao Su, don't worry, the master treats everyone equally. ”
Hearing Huo Feng say this, Su Bo was a little proud, and then responded obediently, and helped Xiaoli to go back to the house.
Su Bo became more and more diligent, practicing various foundations and contents more diligently, her magic skills improved by leaps and bounds, and Huo Feng would praise her every time.
But later, things became more and more strange, and Su Bo noticed that Xiao Li and they were less and less talkative, more introverted and more ...... than before There was silence, and even the distance between several people was unconsciously shortened, which made Su Bo very frightened.
But every time she asked them what was wrong, several of them kept silent, and sometimes even didn't say a word for a day.
Su Bo was completely panicked, she didn't know what was wrong with her brother, could it be that she was focusing on learning and magic these days, and cared less about them, so they were jealous?
Su Bo thought it was very possible, so he picked up a smile and apologized to them, but they ignored it, Su Bo couldn't help it, she had tried her best, but they didn't know what kind of temper they were playing, they just didn't give them face, Rao was that no matter how much patience she had, she was about to run out, so the relationship between several people was particularly awkward for a period of time.
***
Until the day Huo Feng's wife came.
Shi Niang prepared a lot of delicious food, and when she saw Su Bo and Yin Yin, a trace of undercurrent flashed in her eyes, and then she walked to them very kindly and took out candy to them: "You are Su Bo and Yin Yin, Ah Feng mentioned it to me, saying that you two are very smart!" ”
After all, she was still a little girl, thin-skinned, and she was still a little embarrassed to be praised like this, so she smiled shyly and took the candy.
Yin Yin hurriedly peeled off the candy wrapper, put the sugar in her mouth, and said with satisfaction: "It's so sweet!" ”
Shi Niang smiled and noticed that Su Bo didn't eat, so she asked suspiciously, "Why didn't Xiao Su eat it?" Don't like it? ”
Su Bo shook his head and patted his pocket: "I'll keep it for Xiaoli and them." ”
In just a second, Su Bo was still keenly aware that Shi Niang's expression was extremely unnatural, her body stiffened, and her voice was a little weird: "Yes...... Those boys, right? ”
Yin Yin snorted and said, "Yes! ”
Su Bo frowned and stared at her, but did not answer.
"So, what about them?"
Yin Yin: "I was called into the study by the master, it seems that I am testing them again." ”
Her face was even more ugly, Su Bo was seventeen years old at that time, and she was also a big girl, and she had been studying magic for so long, she was also very good at observing people's micro-expressions, and what Shi Niang showed at the moment was a kind of stunned, mixed with ...... Pity and sorrow.
This made Su Bo particularly uneasy.
Shi Niang was stunned, and then made an excuse that she was going to eat delicious food, otherwise they would have robbed it all up, and asked Su Bo and Yin Yin to go quickly.
Yin Yin was still a child, and when she heard that she was busy eating, she ran over, Su Bo had no choice but to run over, and when she was halfway there, Su Bo glanced back, and the master walked quickly in the direction of the study, and looked around sneakily.
Her strange behavior made Su Bo even more suspicious.
When she was sleeping at night, Su Bo heard a whimpering cry again in a daze, which was very small, but she heard it clearly, because the cry came from their room.
Su Bo had heard it before, but she didn't pay much attention to it when she thought it was a dream, and every time she would say a dream word, she would scold: "Who! What is the noise, and you have to sleep! ”
Every time he roared like this, the crying stopped abruptly, and every time Su Bo woke up, he thought it was just a dream.
But today, she deliberately didn't make a sound, just hid in the quilt and held the cry again and again, Su Bo listened carefully, and then she found that the cry came from the bed in the corner, and the people who slept there were none other than Yu Sen, Xiaoli and Xiaobai.
Why are they crying? What are you crying about? Why?
Su Bo didn't fall asleep that night.
Shi Niang's actions and expressions kept playing back in Su Bo's mind like a movie, and she felt a sense of unwarranted fear.
After Su Bo finished school the next day, Yin Yin was the only one left in the room, she put down her schoolbag and asked, "What about them?" ”
Yin Yin: "The master told them to go to the study again." ”
This time, Su Bo didn't do it like before, just sighed and then concentrated on training his magic tricks, but went out of the room and quietly walked into the study.
The master never allowed others to approach him when he was working in the study, and he said that it would disturb her thoughts and make it impossible for him to calm down and think about things.
Su Bo had always kept it in mind, but this time she had to violate her master's orders.
The houses in the courtyard are all relatively old-fashioned style, Su Bo quietly approached her ears, and then she heard an inconspicuous muffled snort, very painful, as if overflowing from her throat, Su Bo frowned, and then slowly poked her head out, the window was pasted with paper, she licked her fingers, and then gently poked it, and slowly approached her eyes, Su Bo was like a lightning strike when she saw the indoor picture.
When Xiao Li returned to the room, Su Bo had been waiting for a long time, the door was pushed open, Su Bo's red and swollen eyes looked at them, several pairs of eyes crossed each other, and Su Bo cried out uncontrollably.
Yin Yin was so frightened that she hurriedly walked to her side, asked her what was wrong with her in a soft voice, and wiped her tears vigorously.
The boys didn't like Su Bo crying the most, although their faces were pale, they still hesitantly walked to Su Bo's side, and Xiaobai said in a hoarse voice: "Sister Su Su...... What's wrong with you......"
This is the first time in a few months that several people have spoken like this, Su Bo is weak, looking at their bad complexion and bloodshot eyes, she directly slapped herself heavily.
The crisp sound, everyone was stunned, and then when she didn't react, she slapped herself again, this time the force was heavier than the last time, and her face was swollen alive.
She was going to give herself another time to be pulled by Xiaobai in time, although he was still a child, but as a boy, he still had a lot of strength.
With some complaints and distress, Yu Sen couldn't help but say coldly: "Sister Susu, what are you doing!" ”
Xiao Li also looked at her with his eyes open, his innocent eyes made Su Bo suddenly think of the scene just now, the pants of the three of them were pulled out, pouting their buttocks, the man's raw and raw organs were sent into each of them, pinching their buttocks and ramming hard, and then after finishing this and then the next one, the man also moaned shamelessly, the hands that were calloused by magic all the year round touched their whole bodies, and they kept pinching and shaking in everyone's private parts, not only that, but he even put his fingers in it, The painful expressions on the children's faces made Su Bo's whole body stiffen, and she felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her whole body trembled.
That man, that disgusting man is Huo Feng!
That so-called master of theirs!
At that moment, Su Bo's tears burst out instantly, her younger brother, her family was so ruined! Such an insult!
Just looking at their obedient expressions and skillful movements, it is obvious that this is not the first time, could it be that it was said that it was for them to take a private exam before, and it is also ......
Su Bo's hands hanging down her legs were clenched, the green tendons were bursting, she seemed to hear her bones constantly making noises, her face was cold, full of anger, she could feel the anger all over her body about to explode, but ...... She couldn't.
She couldn't rush in or even kill the man!
She is seventeen years old, she is about to become an adult, and she has to go through her brain, if she rushes in at this time, or even sues him, she still has no way to punish this man.
In today's society, justice? Fair? Where's it! In addition to money and power in control of the world, she is a little orphan, fatherless and motherless, who can do justice for her? His wife is a rich man, the daughter of a group in L City, can she fight him?
No way...... No way...... She has to think carefully, think carefully, it doesn't matter if she loses herself, the key is that they are so young, if this matter is exposed, what should they do? How to live!
Immediately, Su Bo returned to the room stiffly, every step she took seemed to be stepping on the blade of a knife, she slapped herself many times, how could she be so stupid! Her brother has become so perverse! How could she not see it! How can you still ignore them! Su Bo, are you sick! Are you stupid! That's your brother! Your only relative, now let him be insulted in front of that beast! What about you! Where the are you going, you just know how to study, practice, and only think about doing magic well! You're not stupid!
It turns out that there are no good people in this world, and the kind people she thought she met were essentially demons! Devil!
How did she believe him, how did she believe him!
Su Bo, it's you! You have insulted them! It's you! If you didn't listen to them and don't provoke this man, you wouldn't be where you are today! Why didn't you think about it at that time, there is no free lunch in the world, he is Huo Lao, he adopted you for no reason, and he is so good to you! You didn't think it had a purpose! This comes with intrigue! It's you, step by step, pushing them into hell, pushing them closer to that devil's side, it's you who ruined them, it's you!
