Is a twelve-year-old an adult?

Ding Mu believes that whether it is in the present or in the future, it is obvious that this age cannot be regarded as an adult.

Something happened to a twelve-year-old girl who was still underage, or even just lying together like this, Ding Mu felt that it was ridiculous.

Seeing Ding Mu hurriedly trying to climb out of the tent, the girl suddenly grabbed him tightly, and when she saw him struggling even harder, she even curled up her legs and clamped his knees.

Ding Mu didn't dare to move all of a sudden, or was afraid that if he continued to move, something might really happen.

"Sophia, let me go, I'm not leaving."

Ding Mu had no choice but to beg in a whisper, the current scene was that the girl was almost hanging on him like a koala, which made Ding Mu sweat cold and hot sweat on his head, because he struggled to cling to the clear undulating peaks that could be touched, and the girl's eyebrows and eyes that could be detected by looking carefully in front of him were mixed with each other, which made Ding Mu really have an irrepressible strange feeling.

Could this be the legendary child-faced giant? A strange thought flashed through his mind, but despite repeated persuasion, the girl not only did not have the slightest intention of letting go, but even squeezed her body forward hard, and then wrapped her hands around his neck and armpits, clasped his upper body tightly in a posture like grabbing and locking his throat, and then arched a small head into Ding Mu's arms after making a nasal sound that seemed to be satisfied.

Then, soon there was a low snoring.

Ding Mu looked at the sleeping girl in his arms blankly, his mind was a little dazed at this time, and he didn't know what the situation was now.

But one thing he was sure of was that from the way the girl walked around his back with her fingers clasped together, if he dared to run away, she would probably wake up the entire camp.

Because he was strangled too tightly, Ding Mu couldn't help but slowly try to move, and the result seemed to provoke a very violent reaction from the sleeping girl, her hands and legs were tightened hard, which made Ding Mu almost suffocated at the same time, what made him even more tormented was that full touch was simply tormenting him.

Is this a twelve-year-old? What does this child usually eat, is it possible that children in the Middle Ages were so well nourished?

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, but gradually my eyelids became heavy, and I barely woke up at first not to sleep, and then the reminder became quieter and quieter, until I couldn't resist the exhaustion and fell asleep.

Ding Mu felt that this was the best sleep he had slept in these days, and even in his sleep he thought that he had returned to the familiar life in the past, with his girlfriend in his arms, and they had said that they would go to see her parents together when he returned from this business trip.

In his sleep, Ding Muxing's hands pulled his girlfriend into his arms, wanting to sleep a little longer, and then a scream that stimulated the eardrum sounded from far and near, or suddenly sounded in his ears!

Ding Mu woke up immediately!

It's not at home, I'm not going back, it's still that strange and cold Middle Ages, and I'm in danger!

Ding Mu remembered his current situation almost instantly, he instinctively wanted to jump up, but his body was numb and he only moved and lay back down, and at the same time, he realized that not only was the sky already bright, but next to the carriage not far above his head, a gypsy woman was staring at him with round eyes.

Or to be more precise, to stare at them.

Because Ding Mu suddenly found that with the soreness of his originally numb and weak arm, a small head pillowed on his arm was raised.

The girl pulled out the same sour hand from under Ding Mu's neck with difficulty, rubbed her eyes, and after seeing the scene in front of her, she suddenly pointed at Ding Mu and made a sound of "ahhhhh

The woman's screams had apparently alarmed the rest of the camp, and before Ding Mu and the others could climb out of their tents, a group of gypsies who had heard the noise had already surrounded the caravan.

When they finally got out of their tents and slowly walked out of the caravan under the watchful eyes of the people, they happened to see an agile figure suddenly burst out of the gap between the two caravans.

Then a cold wind went straight to Ding Mu's face!

Before Ding Mu could react, he was pushed away by the girl, and at the same time, with a muffled "bang", a short knife suddenly plunged into the wheel behind his head where he was standing!

The sharp blade is three points into the wood, and the handle of the knife can't help but tremble!

"Ahh The girl's mouth let out a roar that seemed to be angry, she pulled out a short knife from the wheel and rushed to Ding Mu to block him, then her wrist shook and reversed her backhand, pinched the tip of the short knife with her fingers, leaned forward slightly, and stared at a gypsy young man with a scar on her face not far away from her like a female leopard whose head would pounce at any time.

What's going on?

Ding Mu almost immediately made up a large string of childhood sweethearts, snatching love with a knife, hating because of love, vinegar and other bloody jokes, but he didn't expect that those things that only exist in novels and dramas will happen to him inexplicably now.

And because of a twelve-year-old?

Ding Mu felt that there was no such absurdity again, so he took two steps and was about to explain, but stopped when he saw the gypsy young man's eyes.

Ding Mu has not been in this era for a long time, but he has already experienced the test of life and death, and even once death was so close to him that he could see every expression and every look on the murderer's face.

He was sure that this gypsy man did not just attack him out of simple jealousy, and from his eyes, Ding Mu saw only cruelty, this man really wanted to kill him!

This is a ruthless man, who may even have a life on his hands.

Ding Mu didn't move again, he wouldn't be stupid enough to give the other party a chance to kill him, not to mention looking at the indifferent looks of the people around him, it seemed that even if he was killed here, no one would stand up to stop him.

It's the Middle Ages, it's chaotic Sicily, it's a bunch of gypsies who never take the law seriously.

Ding Mu slowly stepped back, and at the same time touched his waist with his right hand, but unfortunately his short knife was also missing when he ran away before.

There was a loud roar, and the leader whom Ding Mu had seen before walked through the crowd, first looked in both directions, then turned back and shouted something to a gypsy, who quickly brought him a long leather whip.

At the command, two gypsies walked up to the young man, snatched the knife from his hand, stripped him of his shirt, and tied him naked face down in the shape of a large wheel.

The head man still said something to the clansmen who had already gathered around, Ding Mu couldn't understand his words at all, and the girl next to him obviously couldn't explain it to him.

However, he noticed that the girl's body was trembling slightly, and the fingers she was holding the tip of the knife had been cut but did not seem to notice, and it was obvious that she was very nervous.

Ding Mu hesitated slightly, and then reached out to gently hug her, although he didn't know why she was so nervous, but thinking of the scene when she risked saving himself the night before, he felt that he should comfort her.

At that moment, the terrifying sound of the whip rang out!

The first crisp but nerve-piercing sound of the whip whipping on the flesh made Ding Mu's skin flush with pimples, he really didn't expect the sound of the leather whip on his body in reality to be so unpleasant, and the next whip made him feel so ugly, maybe it wouldn't take a few strokes, the gypsy young man might be hanging.

When the whipping finally stopped, the leader threw the blood-stained whip to the man next to him, and ordered the young man who had fainted to be lowered from the wheel.

Then his eyes slowly looked over, Ding Mu's heart suddenly tightened, and he had a sense of foreboding.

Sure enough, as the leader spoke again, the people around him stepped aside, revealing the two people standing there.

"Sophia......

Ding Mu could understand that there was only this name, and when he saw that the girl was silent at first, as she nodded vigorously, the gypsies around him immediately looked at him, Ding Mu guessed that the leader should be forcing Sophia to ask where he came from, maybe they already knew that it was him who those people hunted down yesterday.

The headman's two curved and curled eyebrows furrowed, he seemed to be a little embarrassed, but he still said something loudly, and then the gypsies around him immediately became a little excited, some questioned, and some immediately refuted, as if there was a conflict between the gypsies because of what happened.

What's going on? Ding Mu looked at the girl blankly, he wanted to ask but didn't know how to make the girl answer, at this moment his arm suddenly hurt, but it was the woman who screamed and alarmed people just now who was holding his arm tightly, her strength was not small and seemed to be ruthless, and her nails were almost sunk into the flesh.

"You're going to kill Sophia, damn Gaj!"

Ding Mu was stunned, he had heard that gypsies often called people who were not their own people Gaj, but he didn't understand what this woman's words meant.

At this moment, the field had changed, and the opponents were losing the upper hand, and two gypsies came up to them.

"Sophia!"

The head man seemed to ask something loudly, but the girl did not deny it, she threw away the flying knife in her hand and walked towards the two men, then she stopped and turned her head to look at Ding Mu.

The look in his eyes was very simple, as if he was a little nostalgic, and it seemed like he was just saying, "Don't let me down......"

At that moment, Ding Mu's heart twitched violently!

The two gypsies grabbed the girl by the arm and took her to the whipped wheel of the young man named Gurja, and when they began to tie her wrists to the wheels with leather ropes, Ding Mu came to his senses and they were going to whip her too!

A sturdy young man fainted after receiving a few whips because he couldn't stand the pain, how could such a child, a girl who was only 12 years old, bear it?!

Ding Mu rushed forward, but was grabbed by two gypsies, and at the same time, one of them had already pulled the skirt of the girl's back with force, revealing a patch of ivory-colored skin.

The whip has been raised high, and the sound of the wind is terrifying!

Did you really let the whip, which was still bloody, whipped the child's back?

Ding Mu didn't know why he suddenly felt so heartbroken, he suddenly shouted: "Let me be beaten for her!" Let me do it for her! ”

Seeing that the man did not look back, he turned to the woman and shouted hoarsely, "Tell them that I am willing to be whipped for her!" ”

The woman first looked at Ding Mu in amazement, and then shouted loudly in gypsy language, and the camp was stagnant, and then many people followed suit!

The leader seemed a little surprised and angry, he looked back at Ding Mu, turned around and continued to raise the whip.

At this time, the woman suddenly shouted something, and the originally chaotic actor suddenly calmed down!

The people looked at the woman in amazement, and she herself seemed nervous, especially under the angry gaze of the leader, who first shrank back, and then mustered up the courage to say a few words.

Ding Mu noticed that the gypsies around him were a little confused, and they and the people next to them were discussing a lot but could not agree on their opinions.

The headman seemed to be even more angry, and his hand shaking the whip shook incessantly, and the whip whipped slightly and brought up strings of dust on the ground.

At last, a very old gypsy came out, and he announced the results of the discussion in a positive tone, and as he spoke, the eyes of the people were first focused on Ding Mu, and then began to look at their leader.

The leader's face was ugly, and it was obvious that he did not approve of this result, but in the end he agreed with the decision made by everyone.

He took another whip that had been handed to him, and suddenly turned around and struck Sophia the back!

"Ahh

A scream of pain burst out of Sophia's throat, and the scream also touched Ding Mu's heart!

He pounced angrily, only to be grabbed by two gypsies and dragged to the wheels.

Sophia had been put down by the two women who had rushed over, although it was just a whip, but the pain had made her face pale, and when she staggered past Ding Mu, she suddenly got rid of the woman who was holding her, rushed over and hugged Ding Mu's head tightly.

"Ah~ah~"

Unable to speak, she could only let out an incomprehensible cry from her throat, and then pressed her forehead against Ding Mu's forehead.

The two were forcibly separated, Ding Mu was tightly tied to the wheels, and the clothes on his back were torn off, revealing his young and slightly immature white skin.

"If you invite a gypsy to look at it today, it will be unlucky," Ding Mu said to himself, he didn't dare to imagine what it was like to be whipped, so he only kept thinking about it to hide the fear in his heart...... Ah~"

Ding Mu had to admit that he knelt when the first whip came up.

Before he passed out, the only thought in his mind was: What kind of garlic am I pretending......

The tearing pain and hot touch made Ding Mu wake up from his coma, but he immediately felt that it was better not to wake up, at least the pain of being unconscious would be used to it.

It really hurts!

He even had some doubts about how those heroes who faced all kinds of torture and still had firm beliefs survived, no wonder even some of the thick-eyed ones became traitors.

Maybe it was because of the inflammation of the wound and his dizziness, Ding Mu felt that the ground was shaking.

Earthquake? Ding Mu was startled, but then he knew that it was not an earthquake, but the carriage that was crawling and shaking.

"Ah~"

A familiar voice sounded, because Ding Mu could only move his neck with difficulty while lying on his stomach, and the girl sitting on the other side immediately walked around to the side of his face.

"Sophia," Ding Mu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "where are we now?" ”

"We have left Arszhenta," a voice sounded, but it was the woman who had helped them from front and got into the carriage, "You are causing us a lot of trouble and can only leave as soon as possible, so the head man decided to go to Palermo,"

"Palermo?"

Ding Mu was stunned, and he remembered Kunto's dying instructions to go to a priest in the church of Palermo.

But he didn't want to go to Palermo, who knows if there were more people waiting for him in Palermo.

But fate seemed to play a joke on him, and after being whipped he was dragged in a carriage on the road to Palermo.

"Don't move when you wake up, let Sophia take care of you these days, but be honest," the woman's eyes glared, "Anyway, she is your wife, don't be so anxious, do you know." ”

"Got it......" Ding Mu, who was weak, agreed vaguely, and then suddenly became smart, "What did you just say?" ”
