Chapter 7 Leaving the Homeland
The sunset gradually set, and Su Yue kept saying sorry. But these sorry are all addressed to the mother.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Su Yue's expression was a little sluggish, and he repeated this sentence over and over again.
In the face of death, it is normal for a teenager who is only 15 years old to be afraid to the point of sluggishness, after all, everyone is afraid of death, and no one wants to die.
There was a mother's voice beside him, although the mother couldn't speak, but Su Yue could distinguish her mother's emotions from the voice.
When she stole money from her family for the first time as a child to buy fried ice, her mother's roar was short but powerful, showing her anger at her son for stealing money.
When she grows up and goes to the dilapidated high-rise buildings with her friends in search of those magical books, the mother's voice is small and sad, it is worried about her son's adventure.
When he had just come out of the building, but the building collapsed, the mother's sharp and tragic voice came from outside the ruins, which was a painful wail for the loss of her son.
But now, her mother's voice is weak, but it is soothing like the sunset sun shining on Su Yue's body, making people feel warm and comfortable, this voice is like the voice of her mother when she was a child and coaxed her to sleep.
Su Yue cried, he understood that his mother was ready to accompany him to meet death. But there was not much time left for Su Yue's mother and son to be sad, and the night came.
In the distance, the center of the city shone red, as bright as day. Torches were lit, and the flames were like the anger in the hearts of the citizens.
The elder at the head instructed the citizens where to pour oil and where to place the ignition vents. When everything was settled, the elders motioned for the people to be quiet.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our stable life today has not come easily. Since the monsters of the apocalypse have been destroyed, and the humans and the Bloods have made a peace agreement, we are just beginning to live a good life. β
"The nobles are kind to us, they give us security and stability, so that we can live well. We should also repay the nobles for this, and what they say is an iron law, and there can be no doubt and disobedience. β
"But in our city, there are children who are too naΓ―ve to take out books that the nobles have forbidden us to access. β
After saying this, the citizens lowered their heads and were a little embarrassed as if they were children who had made a mistake.
"Originally, we understood our mistakes, but .......!" the elder said in a serious voice, pointing at Su Yue, mother and son, who were tied to the pillar in front of them, and scolded angrily.
"These two people are the ones who have exposed the faults that we have covered up and have long since disappeared. They are the ones who bring us pain!"
This is a bit out of nowhere, if it weren't for Su Yue's advance notice, they would have been even more miserable.
"What do you say about these two vicious people?"
"Burn them!"
"Yes, let them be roasted in hell forever!"
"Su Yue, is there anything else you want to say?"
The elder looked at Su Yue, his eyes were cold, as if Su Yue was dead.
"Hehehe...... Hahaha!" Su Yue, who was originally exhausted from being beaten, laughed with all his strength.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at you pitiful! Is the death of those people really my fault?" Su Yue glared at the crowd and shouted through gritted teeth.
"It's not your fault, who else would it be?"
"That's it, still don't admit your mistakes......"
Su Yue was extremely angry, if the flame of anger could be materialized, Su Yue could even reduce the entire city to nothing.
"Shut up, do you know what the nobles have in their hands? Did you read the contents of the book before burning it?"
"Those nobles are not the heroes of the end of the world at all, they are just like the blood clan, and even like the zombies of the end times, they are a bunch of beasts!
"The end of the world really ended, and it was the god of death who exterminated the zombies! He is the guardian of the Peach Blossom Spring, and his original peace and stability are what he gave us! These nobles are just taking our things back and returning a small part!Uh, cough, cough, cough, ......cough,
"Is it true?"
"How is it possible, how can a self-proclaimed god of death, but not a real god, have such great power!"
The citizens talked a lot, and these people had heard the story of the Peach Blossom Spring, but if they thought about it carefully, how could that kind of power be something that a mortal could have.
"Quiet, you should all understand, it is nothing more than a legend, an illusion that people imagine to comfort themselves. And what really helps us are the nobles, who have the power that we have seen with our own eyes. β
After comforting the people, the elder motioned for the fire to be lit.
The igniters who had been waiting at the ignition place for a long time threw out the torches in their hands, and the flames met the hot oil, and the flames burst into flames.
"Hahaha........ I'm waiting for you in hell!" Su Yue looked at the crowd around him angrily and laughed loudly, because he knew that these people would one day die worse than himself!
But Su Yue smiled and thought of his mother, seeing that the flame in front of him was gradually approaching him, the blazing flame would definitely make his mother very painful......
"Mother, my son is unfilial, I'm sorry for you!"
Gradually, it was pitch black in front of me.
The picture in Su Yue's mind went back to a few days ago, the blue-clothed troops were still searching around, the black-clothed guards maintained law and order in the city, and no one dared to smash Su Yue's early shop.
Su Yue sold early as always, but the business was bleak. Because he told people to burn books in advance, he leaked the arrival of the nobles above. Now the citizens are not grateful to Su Yue, but they are very resentful of Su Yue.
"Su Yue, come with six fritters and three bowls of tofu brains!" Su Yue looked up and saw that it was his friend Sun Shun.
"How's it going?" asked Su Yue.
"It's okay, hehe, thanks to you informing me in advance to burn the book, otherwise I would have died. β
Sun Shun's words made Su Yue's body tremble, this was the first time he heard someone thank him.
"I want to thank you too, or I would have died a long time ago. β
"Hey, we're polite. By the way, don't you say, the nobles have never met a liar? Sun Shun became complacent when he heard Su Yue's thanks. Suddenly, Sun Shun stopped laughing, and a figure in the distance stimulated him.
"Look, that's that little nobleman!" Sun Shun raised his chin, Su Yue took a look, and a beautiful girl came into view.
It can be said that Su Yue immediately stayed in place, unlike the purple-clothed woman before, the white-haired girl in front of her looked around curiously, and the surrounding crowd wanted to kneel, but was saved by the girl waving her hand.
As if feeling Su Yue's gaze, the girl turned her head and looked at Su Yue.
Su Yue was stunned for a moment, hurriedly lowered his head, and continued to look at the fritters in the oil pot, while the girl walked over slowly.
The girl looked at the things around Su Yue and was very curious, the utensils that carried the food were not as dirty as she imagined.
"What is this?" the girl pointed to the fritter in the pan that had not yet been fried.
"My lord, this is a fritter. The girl in front of her seemed to be weak and pure, but Su Yue had seen the other party freeze several people who did not kneel into ice sculptures, which was definitely not easy to get along with.
"Bring me one. The girl was very curious, she had never seen this kind of food, although it smelled a little greasy, but she was not tired of it, after all, she had never eaten fat.
"Okay, a red coin ......" As soon as the words came out, Su Yue wanted to take it back. But it was too late, Su Yue had no choice but to pack the freshly fried fritters and present them and kneel on the ground.
"No courtesy. After finishing speaking, the girl conjured up two ice chopsticks, picked up the fritters and took a bite.
"Well, it doesn't smell like ......"
"My lord, fried dough sticks are only delicious when accompanied by tofu brain. β
"yes, then another bowl of tofu brain. β
After Su Yue was finished, he gave it to the girl, but found that the girl was frowning and looking at the tofu brain with disgust.
"Are you asking me to use a bowl that someone else has used?" The girl's words made Su Yue a little frightened and embarrassed, after all, it was the first time he had contact with a nobleman.
"Forget it, take ten fritters. I'm still more at ease with the food after the high temperature and hot frying. The girl thought for a moment and nodded as if she were talking to herself.
In this way, Su Yue hurriedly exploded, and during the explosion, he felt that the girl was staring at him.
"Isn't it true that you leaked the news of our arrival?" the girl sat on an ice chair and stared at Su Yue, who was frying fritters in front of her.
"Yes, my lord, I heard from others, and the news was almost all over the city. β
The girl didn't say much, and when the fritters were fried, Su Yue put the fritters into a bag and half-knelt and presented them to the girl.
The girl pretended to take the bag, and suddenly, she grabbed Su Yue's wrist.
Su Yue's heart sank suddenly, but he immediately regained his calm. "The other party is a water attribute spell cultivator, and it seems to be higher than the second order, if you are excited to speed up your blood circulation, you must not be able to hide it from the other party. β
"You're careful. The girl didn't say anything, and withdrew her hand.
"Discovered?" Su Yue became nervous.
"I didn't bring low-level currency, goodbye. The girl turned and walked away.
"That's right" The girl seemed to remember something, turned around, and looked at Su Yue lying on the ground. "What's your name?"
"Su Yue. β
"Su Yue, remember, never go against the rules we have set, those who go along will live, and those who go against will die, what you have learned in those books is just the tip of the iceberg. β
After the girl finished speaking, she thought for a moment, wondering why she thought of asking the name of a person who sold fritters, and said so many words, and then turned to leave.
"The obedient one lives, and the rebel dies? why?" Su Yue felt unwilling in his heart, the girl in front of him was the same age as himself, but her identity was very different.
"I really want to reach your level!" Su Yue said in his heart. But he smiled self-deprecatingly, he just read a few books, what ability did he have?
Suddenly, Su Yue seemed to be back in the fire, and the surrounding crowd was insulting him, gritting his teeth at himself one by one, eager to devour himself and his mother alive. The funny thing is that they don't even dare to come out in front of the nobles.
Then Su Yue seemed to hear his mother's painful wail, which made Su Yue regain consciousness in an instant, and suddenly he found that the flames had not baked him.
After some time, the flame gradually went out. Su Yue found that he was intact, and the crowd of onlookers had long since disappeared.
At this time, the trembling elder came and cut the rope for Su Yue and Su Yue's mother. Looking at the elder in front of him, Su Yue seemed to understand something.
"Su Yue, it's great that you're okay!" The little fat Sun Shun was carrying two large packages and one in his hand.
"This is ......," Su Yue looked at the elder and Sun Shun in confusion. It turned out that the elder had made his hands and feet in the oil, and only the oil around the outer ring of the pillar could burn, and the oil close to Su Yue and his mother inside could not be burned after special treatment.
However, there was a loophole in this plan, as long as outsiders saw that Su Yue and his mother were not burned by the fire, the elder's plan would fail.
So when Su Yue and his mother were burned in a daze, the elders forced everyone to leave on the grounds that it was too cruel to watch the execution. When everyone hesitated, the elder swore by his own reputation that when everyone got up tomorrow, they would definitely find the bodies of Su Yue and the others, so that people would not be able to say anything, so they went home.
"Child, you're right, I've said too many things against my heart before, but there are too few people who believe in Peach Blossom Land and Death. The elder sighed, looking a little depressed.
"Son, go quickly, for in a moment we will pretend that you are being burned to death. β
"Ah, this ......" Su Yue was so excited that he didn't know what to say, so he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the elder a few times.
"Don't knock the child, if you really want to thank me, then live well and try to rebuild the Peach Blossom Spring!"
"Yes, let's go, my mom and my dad will take care of it, let's go!" Sun Shun hurriedly picked up Su Yue and hurriedly left.
"Wait, Sun Shun, do you want to go with us too?" You know, Sun Shun's parents are both in Congee Jie City, and they don't want to go with their mother, so they don't have anything to worry about here.
"My parents said, let me go with you, go outside to see the world, and come back with a lot of money later!"
Sun Shun was reluctant at first, but after a few days of contact with the nobles, he was also very unwilling to stay in this porridge world for the rest of his life.
"Child, you two have to remember that all these changes that happened in Porridge World City will only be more outside, and the only thing you can fully trust is each other, and you have to take care of each other. β
The elder looked at Su Yue and Sun Shun serenely, not at all like the elder who had lit the fire before. Then he looked at Su Yue's mother, and Su Yue's mother also nodded, she would definitely sacrifice her life to protect these two children.
"Alright, kids, have a nice trip!"
