Chapter 295: Windfall 4
"Gollum, Gollum......" The girl's stomach rang with hunger, but a small face was full of nervous concern for something else, "Brother, Mom, why haven't they come back?" ”
"Good boy, they'll be back soon." The boy soothed the girl as he quietly looked out through the crack in the door, his stomach twitching with hunger.
At this time, it was the third day that the two women and the bearded man had left the base to go out on a mission. Seeing that the sky is going to get dark again, it is estimated that the three of them will not be able to come back today.
For the past three days, the two children have been hiding in their dirt house, and they have not dared to step out. During this period, the same villains who had been bullying them before appeared once or twice in front of the door. They probably knew that the three adults had gone out to do the mission, leaving only the two children at home, and the two children had not even come out to receive the meals distributed by the base in the past few days, and they couldn't grab anything and didn't bother to embarrass the two children.
The two children were hungry for three days and couldn't take it anymore. The boy wanted to go to someone's house nearby at night to see if there was any food left. You don't have to think about opening your mouth to ask for alms, no one will pity them. The boy made up his mind to steal.
When the night really got dark, the boy asked the girl to wait in the room, and he sneaked out himself. He walked from one dirt house to another few houses nearby, listening carefully to the movements of the rooms and trying to probe his brain to see if there was any food in those rooms. The boy's heart was beating fast, but he was terrified.
He was afraid that he would be caught stealing, but he was even more afraid that he would not be able to steal any food, and today he and the girl would be hungry again. The boy hesitated for a moment in front of a dirt house that sounded like no one inside, but plucked up the courage to push the door.
The door was hidden, and the boy pushed it open. There was really no one inside, and there were two meals on the table. The boy was overjoyed, rushed to the table, grabbed two steamed buns, and wanted to run back. As soon as he ran to the door, he was bumped into by the family coming back.
The man and the woman were stunned, and it took a long time to realize that the boy had come to steal food.
"Stealing! Catch the thief! The woman immediately cried out.
The boy trembled in fright, but he still held the two steamed buns tightly in his hands, turned his head and ran.
The man immediately chased after him in three or two steps. While grabbing the boy's clothes by the collar, he picked the boy up.
The boy felt that his feet were hanging in the air, and subconsciously struggled twice, and the next moment he suddenly felt the scene in the corner of his eye slanting, and then he felt a severe pain on his side. The boy was thrown to the ground hard by the man. This fall. The boy's internal organs were shaken by the fall, and he suddenly felt something fishy sweet in his mouth.
After the man threw the boy to the ground, he bent down and tried to snatch the two steamed buns back from the boy's hands.
Where was the boy willing to give, and in a hurry, he bit the man's hand.
The man was even more angry when he was in pain, and cursed, "Oops, little bunny." Dare to bite someone for stealing? He kicked the boy in the stomach with a single kick.
"Poof, ahem! Ahem......" The boy was suddenly suffocated, but he still clung to the two steamed buns to protect his chest, curled up and coughed. A few strands of blood oozed from the corners of the boy's mouth.
"Someone! Catch the thief! The woman was still shouting, but a few families in the vicinity poked their heads out to see the commotion, but no one came forward.
The man looked at his hand carefully, and found that the boy had been bitten so hard that it had left two rows of deep tooth marks, and if he hadn't pulled his hand quickly, he would have bitten off a piece of flesh. He kicked the boy once and kicked him harder. Another kick......
The onlookers whispered. Although the woman shouted to catch the thief, the thin boy on the ground held the steamed bun tightly to his chest, and they couldn't see it. They didn't know what the boy had stolen, but they saw that the man was constantly kicking and hitting the little boy. The boy had no power to fight back, he was beaten to the point of vomiting blood, and the man still didn't stop. The boy looked like he was being bullied, and he was pitiful.
But the men didn't come up to persuade the man to stop.
The boy curled up on the ground, being kicked and beaten by the man constantly, and soon became so weak that the steamed bun took off his hand.
The two white steamed buns rolled twice on the ground. Only then did everyone know that the boy had stolen two steamed buns, a man and a woman, and he was really a thief. At this time, there was another voice in the crowd, saying that the boy should be beaten.
They also didn't want to think that the boy had just stolen two steamed buns. He didn't steal all the food of the man and the woman, and he was also hungry to make this decision. Why is the boy so hungry that he steals two steamed buns? The answer is obvious. But no one cares that boys are also oppressed, they only care that boys do bad things.
The coaxing people were not satisfied with the man kicking and beating the boy, and a few even gathered around and punched and kicked the boy. Among these people, there are indispensable people who have been robbed of food by villains on weekdays. was robbed by the villain, and they didn't dare to make a sound. But now he poured his anger on the poor boy's head.
In the chaos, someone stepped on a steamed bun on the ground. The woman hurriedly picked up another steamed bun on the ground. However, the steamed bun rolled twice on the ground, and it was also stained with a lot of dirt.
At that time, the treatment of ordinary people at the base was much worse. But the food that was given to them every day was enough to feed them.
The woman broke the outer skin of the steamed bun in disgust, wanting to leave the steamed bun that was clean inside, but there was nothing left after breaking it around.
"Stop, stop, stop fighting." The woman spoke up to stop the man.
Everyone thought that the woman had relented and wanted to let the boy go.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the woman raised her hand and threw all the broken steamed buns in her hand into the boy's face, she didn't hit the boy. But a sharp mouth scolded harshly: "You little rabbit cub, good steamed buns have made you a scourge." Your parents are dead, no one cares, don't you learn to steal things? ”
The boy was beaten by the man and couldn't get out, his chest hurt sullenly, and when he heard the woman say that his parents were dead, he immediately glared at the woman with resentment, but he couldn't refute a word.
"Ah, you wild, dare to stare at me? Phew! The woman spit on the boy's face, still angry, and scolded, "I don't know which wild woman gave birth to such a little king and eight lambs as you......"
At this time, someone recognized the little boy and told him that the boy had been murdered by the villain.
As a result, the woman not only did not sympathize with the little boy, but also scolded: "It turned out to be a ...... raised by **"
This time the boy was really anxious, and he didn't know where he got the strength to get up and rush towards the woman, biting the woman's arm with a mouth. This time, the boy made a mortal effort. Immediately bit the woman's arm.
The woman screamed in pain and pushed the boy with her other hand, but she couldn't push it away. She was so painful that she began to hit the boy on the head with that hand, grabbing his hair, but the boy just bit her arm.
The man finally reacted. Came forward and helped the woman pull the boy. But as soon as he exerted his strength, the woman cried loudly for him to stop. The man saw that the boy was bitten to death, and the woman's arm was bleeding, and if he pulled it away by brute force, he was afraid that the woman's arm would be missing a piece of meat. But if he didn't pull it, the boy would have to bite off the piece of meat sooner or later.
Men aren't stupid. He didn't pull the boy and held the boy's chin instead. The man's hand was strong, and he grabbed the boy's chin so hard that the boy's mouth was removed from the woman's arm. Immediately afterwards, he slapped the boy with a backhand.
The boy was slapped in the face, and Venus suddenly fell to the ground again.
The woman saw that her arm was bitten and her flesh was blurred, and she pointed at the boy and shouted, "Hit him, kill him!" ”
The man felt sorry for the woman, and after two sentences of concern, he really went to the little boy again, and it seemed that he really wanted to listen to the woman's beating of the little boy.
Finally, there was a persuasive voice in the crowd, "Alas, don't really beat him to death, just forget the lesson." Don't kill anyone. ”
In fact, the boy was already dying at this time, and he was too weak to look good, and the man would probably kick him to death if he kicked him any more. Although there were voices of persuasion in the crowd, no one really stepped forward to stop the man.
Fortunately, such a big commotion finally attracted the attention of two soldiers who happened to be passing by. When they saw someone fighting, they immediately picked up their guns.
When the man saw the soldier holding a gun, he immediately stopped. But he made a preemptive move, and immediately nodded and explained to the two soldiers that the boy had stolen his steamed buns and bit people before he started beating him. As for whether the boy bit the man first, or whether he fell and kicked the boy first, no one else made a sound at this time, and he had the final say.
The two soldiers saw the scene clearly, but a man and a woman were bitten on the back of their hands and arms respectively by a little boy who stole steamed buns. Then the man and the woman beat the boy again, and the scene was not serious. The two soldiers put away their guns, not meddling, except that the boy had been beaten like this. Forget it, let the crowd hurry back to their respective houses.
The soldier spoke, and the crowd dispersed. The two soldiers also left without looking back. Only the bruised little boy was still lying on the ground, and no one kindly pulled him.
The boy gasped on the ground for a long time before slowly getting up on his own. He stared at the dirty steamed buns on the ground that had been trampled flat and the broken steamed buns that had been thrown on his face by the woman before, and finally gritted his teeth and picked them up. The boy hobbled back to his dirt house with these steps.
As soon as the girl saw the boy like this, she immediately burst into tears.
The boy's chest was still aching. It was difficult to comfort the girl, so she just pulled the crying girl to sit on the chair. The boy carefully wiped the dirty steamed buns he had picked up, broke them again, handed the cleaner part to the girl as much as he could, and swallowed the earthy steamed buns without chewing as soon as he lowered his head.
The girl was hungry after all, and while sobbing, she learned to stuff the steamed bun into her mouth, which was actually also stained with mud. But the girl was stupid, chewed twice, and suddenly couldn't stand the smell of the earth and spit out those steamed buns again. But when she saw the boy's eyes, she immediately stuffed the steamed buns back into her mouth, and this time she swallowed them without chewing.
The girl choked, and the boy immediately handed the water over. The girl drank two sips of water, her little face was red, and she finally swallowed the steamed bun.
Then the little boy silently locked the door without saying a word, and pulled the little girl to lie down on the bed together.
The girl muttered another mom before falling asleep, but soon fell asleep.
The boy's whole body was in pain, and he had no extra strength, but he kept his eyes open and never fell asleep. The words of the mean woman scolding him before still echoed in his ears. He was angry, he had watched his mother let those villains go to waste. He was so afraid, his mother and the girl's mother and Uncle Beard hadn't come back after leaving for so long, were they really dead? He hated it, there wasn't a good person in this base.
Those villains are hateful, and the boys with the faces of these people today have been firmly remembered one by one. In the case of not knowing what is going on, seeing him being beaten by a man, the onlookers are all unconcerned. Knowing that he had indeed stolen something, the boy himself felt uncomfortable, but the instantly distorted faces of those onlookers made him even more cold.
They don't help him, they don't sympathize with him, it's dishonorable for him to steal things, but why don't they curse that there is no good person who steals and steals things? If you lose your conscience, you will not die well......
The first time he stole something, he never robbed it. The boy gradually realized that the people were scolding the villains. He became a scapegoat, and those people beat and scolded him to vent their resentment against the villains. It turns out that it can still be like this......
The two soldiers who came after inadvertently saved his life. But he was not at all grateful to them. He only remembered the impatience and disgust on the faces of the two soldiers.
It's the same look on his face when he took him to ask for help from those soldiers. The woman said so pitifully that she was robbed of food and bullied by the villains, and there was only impatience and disgust on the faces of those soldiers. They drove the women and children away from the door of the main building, not caring whether they lived or died. Knowing that those villains were acting outside the main building, they didn't bother to care. In short, as long as there are no fatalities outside the main building, the people in the main building don't care at all.
The people in the main building kicked them out of the main building because someone was making trouble in the main building. But they are indiscriminate, as long as it is an ordinary person who has never been out of the mission, they are driven out. To put it bluntly, they were just abandoned by the people in the main building in disguise. For those who haven't made any efforts, it's good for the people in the main building to give them a bite to eat, and as for any small contradictions between them, they can't make any trouble, it's just that some strong people snatch some weak ones. Before, these people ganged up to snatch out the materials of the mission, made trouble in the main building, and worked against the soldiers, but now they can only rob each other, and the main building of the base is clean anyway, so they won't care about them.
