Chapter 19: Atrocities
Mrs. Xie's face became very ugly, no matter who it was, she would not be in a good mood after knowing that her good intentions were being taken advantage of.
Xie Zhen had no choice but to say, "Auntie." The little beggar stole and came back, it can be seen that it is not bad yet, and he is forced to steal things, so don't be angry about it. ”
When Mrs. Xie heard this, she thought of the little beggar's tearful appearance, but her heart softened, and her face softened.
"Who's to say it isn't!" She sighed softly and said, "If it weren't for poverty, if it weren't for desperation, who would want to be a beggar and be looked down upon?" ”
Xie Zhen couldn't help but think of Archer, and their brothers were very proud of their status as beggars.
"We are beggars, not thieves, how can we steal?"
The corners of Xie Zhen's mouth twitched slightly, yes, they don't steal things, at most they are deceiving a big fat sheep like her......
Although Mrs. Xie's silver was not lost, but this incident affected their mood in the end, and they felt bored no matter how much they looked at it.
So Xie Zhen went home.
Mrs. Xie nodded sullenly in agreement.
Who would have thought that after the two of them walked a few steps, a person would be thrown out of the alley on the side.
People in the streets screamed and dodged.
The little man crouched down in the middle of the street, trembling.
When Mrs. Xie and Xie Zhen heard the voice, they looked back through the crowd, and their hearts jumped.
This is that little beggar!
What's wrong with him? Xie Zhen was shocked, and a tall and hideous-looking man came out of the alley.
He walked to the little beggar in three steps and two steps, snorted coldly, bent down slightly and grabbed the little beggar's tattered clothes, and then easily lifted the man up.
Xie Zhen's heart was also lifted along with his movements.
Who is this man? What does he want to do?
Then I heard the man sneer: "Okay, you! Lao Tzu really raised you for nothing! You can make the duck fly when it's cooked, and you can get it back with the money you get. You don't want to fucking live, do you? ”
As he spoke, he raised his hands in the air, lifted the little beggar's thin body up, and then threw the little beggar to the ground with the screams of the little beggar and the exclamations of the crowd.
There was a muffled thud.
The little beggar's body curled up into a shrimp on the ground because of the severe pain.
Xie Zhen was small, through the gap in the crowd in front of him. He could clearly see his pale face under his messy hair.
How much should it hurt, how much should it hurt...... Xie Zhen's heart trembled, and her palms were wet with sweat.
Mrs. Xie's body also trembled slightly with anger.
But that fall was just the beginning of the little beggar's nightmare.
The fierce and brutal man lifted him up again.
"Fuck you, I've worked so hard to feed you. That's how you repay Lao Tzu? Do you believe that Lao Tzu washed you and sent you to a brothel? ”
The man's words were rude, and he slammed the little beggar to the ground again.
The little beggar didn't even have the strength to cry out in pain this time.
It turns out that this is the little beggar's suffering, and it turns out that this is the little beggar's body involuntarily!
Xie Hao clenched her fists angrily, wanting to rush forward.
But in front of her, she watched the lively crowd layer after layer.
Although they also felt that the man had gone too far, none of them wanted to stop it. After all, who cares if a beggar lives or dies?
Xie Hao struggled to push aside the person in front of him, gritting her teeth and slowly squeezing out of the small gap they were crowding into.
Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Save him! Save him!
Her tears welled up and hit the ground one by one, and before they could dry, they were soon trampled underfoot.
It's obviously just a few human walls, obviously so close, Xie Zhen just can't get by.
In the haze of tears, the big man kicked the little beggar fiercely.
The little beggar seemed unable to move, and a shocking red flowed from beneath him.
Blood!
This blood finally awakened the conscience of some of the people who watched coldly around them.
A woman whispered, "Stop fighting, stop fighting." If you continue to fight, you will die! ”
"yes!"
"yes!"
"Stop!"
The big man glanced at them with disdain, spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the little beggar, and scolded, "What's the matter with you? Lao Tzu taught his son that even if he was killed, no one would be able to take care of me! ”
He was so fierce and vicious, and the people who had spoken before didn't dare to speak again.
The big man then intensified his efforts and punched and kicked the little beggar.
The little beggar's lips opened and closed slightly, as if he was saying something, but now he was angry, and the surroundings were too noisy, where could others hear his voice?
Xie Zhen finally squeezed through the last human wall. Staggered out.
"Stop! Stop! Her voice was agitated and poignant.
The big man didn't expect such a little girl to rush out, he couldn't help but be stunned, and after a closer look, he recognized that it was the little girl who was with the noble lady just now.
He has never been willing to offend the rich.
The big man smiled. kicked the little beggar in front of Xie Zhen and said, "Little girl, this is a little liar, I am teaching him a lesson!" What are you running for? ”
Xie Hao glared at him fiercely, biting her lip hard with her teeth, and finally held back her anger for the time being. Squatted down and hugged the little beggar's scarred and bloody body.
The little beggar's lips squirmed slightly.
Xie Zhen held back tears and eared her ear to his lips.
The little beggar's eyes flashed for a moment, and he gritted his teeth and whispered a few words in her ear with all his strength.
Xie Zhen burst into tears.
Mrs. Xie, who was standing outside the crowd, was already stunned.
Zhen'er Zhen'er...... If Zhen'er has any three strengths and two shortcomings, how can she explain it when she goes back?
"Zhen'er! You're back! She exclaimed anxiously.
But Xie Zhen couldn't hear her voice now, and she excluded anyone's voice.
All she could know was the voice of the little beggar.
Word for word, slowly, in a weak voice, he said to her, "He, no, yes, I, father, dear." ”
He's not!
This man who claims to be the father of a little beggar is not his real father at all!
So how dare he? How dare he punch and kick this poor child so justifiably?
Why is he so unscrupulous? Is it because of a loophole in the law? Or is it because of indifferent human nature?
Xie Zhen raised her head sharply and stared at the big man, her eyes bursting with anger.
The big man was startled at first, and then spat on the ground with great disdain and displeasure—and at the sight of such vicious eyes, he finally sensed the hostility of the little girl in front of him and the maintenance of the little beggar.
"Little girl." Dahan rubbed his nose vigorously with his big dirty hand, snorted, and said to Xie Zhen while rubbing his snot on his clothes: "I think you still don't have to be nosy, this little liar is not related to you, and it has nothing to do with you if you are killed." ”
Xie Hao said coldly: "Doesn't he have nothing to do with you." What right do you have to beat him? ”
The big man laughed as if he had heard some joke: "Who said I have nothing to do with him? I'm his old ......."
"You're not!"
Before Dahan finished speaking, Xie Zhen had already interrupted him with a quick scream.
"You're not!" She repeated it aloud again in front of the stunned crowd.
Dahan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable all over, and only said viciously: "Little girl, why do you say that I am not?" ”
Xie Zhen clenched her fists. Slowly put the little beggar in his arms on the ground and slowly stood up. Her movements were slow and light, but her shoulders trembled slightly with anger.
Her voice was steady, as powerful as before.
"Because he sued me!" She said loudly.
Hearing her words, everyone's eyes converged on the little beggar. But the poor boy is already out of breath and out of breath, and how can he still speak?
"Him?" The big man's suspicious gaze also fell on the little beggar, and then he burst into a louder laugh than before.
"Hahaha! Did you hear me wrong, little girl? That little liar can still speak? Ha ha! Since you said that he sued you, then let him say it in front of everyone! Hmph, I don't think that's what he said at all! You made all those words up yourself, right? You said! Do you have some unusual relationship with this little liar? Otherwise, how can you blindly maintain this little liar......"
The more he talked, the more he went too far, the more he said, the more unbearable he became.
There was only a snort in the crowd, and I don't know if it was because I felt that the big man was unbearable, or because I felt that Xie Zhen's behavior was really abnormal—people who were used to indifference would always feel that the other party was strange when they saw someone who was particularly warm-hearted.
At the back of the crowd, Mrs. Xie was so angry that her blood rushed to her head. Immediately, it was like scolding "Fart!" But in the end, she cared about her identity, and she closed her mouth angrily before she opened her mouth, but her heart was very complicated at this time, on the one hand, she hoped that Xie Zhen could come back safe and sound, and on the other hand, she hoped that Xie Zhen could teach that stinky and shameless man a lesson! But these emotions were quickly replaced by worry, because she saw that Xie Zhen was so thin standing there.
Zhen'er is still young, how can she deal with that big man? Mrs. Xie stomped her feet anxiously, regretting why she didn't bring the maid out with her.
Although Xie Zhen's body is thin, her back is very straight. Her facial features are immature. But her expression was resolute!
Now there was a mediocre-looking man in the crowd who was looking at her with interest in a pair of bland eyes, just looking at her. It seems that he didn't pay attention to the life and death of the little beggar and the atrocities of the big man at all, as if he just wanted to see what Xie Hao was going to do next.
Apparently. He's different from the spectators around him.
Xie Zhen suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart, and subconsciously looked towards one part of the crowd.
One of the people in the crowd stood quietly, lonely and upright.
He was in his thirties, very ordinary-looking, and his clothes were nothing special.
Of course, this person was a stranger, but Xie Hao inexplicably felt that he was a little familiar, and she suddenly calmed down.
The excessive calmness is undoubtedly very inconsistent with her immature and lovely appearance.
Dahan's words came to an abrupt end. Because he found that the little girl in front of him was different from any child. She didn't seem to be scared at all when she faced him, as if there was nothing in the world that could make her feel scared.
Is there really such a bold child in this world who is not afraid of anything? Dahan shuddered, he suddenly thought that there were such children in the Miao Jiang area, no, they were not real children, but dwarfs who could never grow up! Each of them looked exactly like ordinary children, their skin was even smoother and more delicate than that of ordinary children, and they approached their unsuspecting opponents with their innocent and harmless faces, and then quietly killed their opponents with the Gu worm poison they were good at!
Fuck it! He wouldn't be so unlucky and meet a "little ghost", right?
Although this big man has never read a book of soldiers, he knows by instinct that he is still going to be the best at this time.
He coughed vigorously and said, "Forget it, for the sake of your young age and ignorance today, I won't bother with you, you can go!" ”
Xie Hao's indifferent expression finally fluctuated.
"Huh." The corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and she let out a light mockery, "You say, you don't care about me?" ”
The more she was like this, the more the big man thought she was weird, so he only replied yes and said in a loud voice: "Why don't you go quickly?" ”
Xie Hao raised her eyes and glanced at him coldly, and said coldly: "It's a pity that I don't want to leave yet." Because though you don't care about me, I'm going to settle accounts with you now!" ”
Everyone was stunned.
The little girl said...... What are you talking about? Do you want to settle accounts with this man? She...... Is she crazy?
Mrs. Xie's eyes were dark at this time, her body shook, and she almost fainted-what did Zhen'er say? Did she hear it wrong?
The big man was also stunned, and said in a loud voice: "What did you say? ”
Xie Zhen sneered: "What did I say? I say you have the audacity to ignore the law and incite the little beggar to steal! I said that you pretended to be the father of the little beggar and beat the little beggar in the street, so that he is now half dead! I said that a villain like you must be dragged to the yamen to eat a board and be closed for three years and five years! ”
The big man was furious, but fortunately he was not angry, and finally knew that if the person who dared to say such a thing was either the arrogant Miaojiang dwarf or the daughter of a prominent family, no matter which one of them, he could not offend.
He only snorted lightly, and said in a strange manner: "Little girl, after talking so much, why did you go back again?" It's true that this little liar wants to steal your money, but wasn't I just teaching him a lesson? You yourself ran to save him, and now how can you say that I taught him to steal in defiance of the law? Besides, I'm his son, since you keep saying that I'm not, then you have to come up with evidence, right? At least let the little liar say it himself, right? If you can't produce proof, I see, you'd better go back with your mother! I don't think it happened today. ”
He didn't know the relationship between Mrs. Xie and Xie Zhen, only when they were mother and daughter, he said that Xie Zhen and her mother would go back. I also knew that the little beggar must not have the strength to speak now, so I deliberately said that the little beggar would deny it in person.
This remark sounded clumsy to Xie Zhen, but it also made sense to the uninformed public.
Xie Hao's gaze swept over the whispering crowd and narrowed slightly. (To be continued.) )
