Chapter 66

As if hearing Li's words, although the hand holding the ankle was so weak that people couldn't feel a trace of strength, Li still noticed that even in such a detached situation, the hand was still imperceptibly tightened, as if he was afraid that it would disappear as soon as he let go.

I don't know how to hurt a person to this point, and I don't know if I am so seriously injured, will I still have the will to stay awake and struggle for help?

With the concentration of his gaze, Li saw the face that could no longer see the human form, the two eyes could not be opened because of the puffiness, and the bruises were all over the body, and he could only raise his chin slightly with difficulty and stared at Li with eyes that were narrowed into a line, inexplicably, Li's heart was deeply touched.

"Do you have any problems, if any......"

"Imp, where did you come from?"

Perhaps it was Li's voice that alarmed Dahan, and Dahan, who pushed the door out again, saw the scene in front of him with an unkind face and forced Li's face, and a thick nasal voice came out of his mouth.

"Huh? Talking, little ghost? ”

He exhaled heavily, and leaned over to put down a large bag of ingredients under the surprised gaze of the big man, and then the scarlet appeared, and he reached out and grabbed the big man's neck and pressed him against the wall.

"Let go of me!"

After a short period of consternation, the big man quickly regained his senses, and subconsciously pressed his hands on Li's wrists to break free, but was horrified to find that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull away from the hand of the little ghost in front of him, who looked like he was only twelve or thirteen years old.

"What is she?"

Ignoring Dahan's struggles, he asked, staring at Dahan's eyes.

Dahan realized that the strength of this hand on his neck was not something that ordinary twelve or thirteen-year-old imps could have, and he knew that he had hit a hard nail all year round, and struggled to answer the question.

She ...... She is an employee of our shop! ”

"Employees?"

Away let out a sneer from his nose.

"That's right! It's normal that you've never been to this kind of place when you're young! ”

Afraid of doubting what he said to him, Dahan hurriedly explained: "How about it, I invite you to experience what it's like to be a real man for free, and I will definitely not disappoint you!" ”

His eyes suddenly became gloomy, and he suddenly felt a breath of qi leaking out of his body and wanted to turn around and leave immediately, but from the corner of his eye, he saw the naked back under his feet, almost no flesh was of normal skin color, and there were obvious strangulation marks caused by ropes on his neck and wrists.

Li finally realized what kind of humiliation the girl had suffered at her feet, and finally understood what kind of thoughts that hand was wrapped in to reach out to her, and if she chose to leave at this moment, what kind of despair would she be?

"Is your behavior based on the fact that she is weaker than you?"

"Huh?"

Dahan didn't understand the meaning of leaving.

"Then I can tell you everything, right?"

"Wait! I didn't do that! ”

The big man who finally came back to his senses felt the hand holding his neck shrinking tighter and tighter, and quickly explained in horror.

"I'm just a minion, and she's sick! I'm going to take her for treatment! ”

"That's right."

Under the relieved eyes of the big man, he let go of the hand that was holding his neck, let him sit on the ground and gasp heavily, and made a silent decision in his heart.

"Well, I'll take her with me."

There was not the slightest hint of inquiry in his tone.

"She, she's legally our property!"

Although Dahan, who had just escaped the threat of death, still had a fear of leaving in his heart, he still tried to stop the idea of leaving.

"Is it really good for a child like you to stop this kind of trouble from the elders in the family?"

"I see......"

Only then did I know that slavery still existed in the Land of Rain, and it seemed that there had never been a human trade in Konoha in my impression, and now it seems that Konoha is already considered a civilized society in the Hokage world.

Squatting in front of the girl lying in the sack, he opened his mouth lightly and asked, "Do you want me to save you?" ”

The girl didn't seem to hear Li's words, and there was no expression on her face, and it was possible that the face that had long been unable to see its original appearance could no longer make any expression.

"Do you want me to save you?"

Li repeated it again, and the big man on the other side laughed sarcastically when he saw this scene.

After waiting for a moment, he seemed to see a change from despair to consternation, from consternation to a state full of will to survive on that face that could no longer make any expressions.

"Save ...... I ......"

Lips with a few already chapped wounds squirmed, and the girl let out a cry for help like a mosquito.

"If I only prayed like a plant waiting for rain from heaven to come and save me, I would not save such a person."

The girl's response strengthened Li's determination, and he said the words to the girl as well as to himself: "But the one who struggles to live on his own - you are sheltered by me." ”

We are all people who are struggling in this world to survive.

"Forget the horrors and sleep peacefully."

The detective closed the girl's eyes as hard as she could, and the girl seemed to have spent all her strength just because she said two words, and when she closed her eyes with the movement, she was breathing steadily.

"Liar! She didn't say anything! ”

Seeing Li's movements, the big man who hadn't heard anything hurriedly stood up and retorted.

"Liar?"

He stared at Dahan with an unkind face, and Dahan subconsciously took a step back and didn't dare to speak again.

"Well, then, I'll take her away."

Ignoring the big man, he picked up the girl wrapped in a sack, squeezed out two fingers and hung the bag containing the ingredients and prepared to leave.

"Wait, wait!"

"What else?"

"No...... But it would be troublesome to take her away. ”

Startled by Li's impatient tone, the big man covered in cold sweat still opened his mouth tremblingly, as if something more terrible would happen if Lili took the girl away.

"I said, you know that, right?"

Dahan lowered his voice, as if he would be unlucky if the name he mentioned immediately was heard by others: "Sanshoyu Hanzo!" ”

"Hanzo? Wasn't he already dead? ”

I don't know why Dahan would mention Hanzo here, who was killed by Nagato a long time ago.

"Yes, he's dead, but I don't know why the man who killed him didn't take over the country."

Dahan looked like you don't know much and I explained to you, "So the country is now in a very turbulent period, and my boss is the ruler of the underground forces of this country, and he is a powerful ninja who once guarded Sanshoyu Hanzo!" ”

"Please, you don't see anything, do you?"

Intimidation is followed by begging.

"I'm going to take her away." Unmoved.

"Spare me, I'll be killed!"

The big man's voice was shrill because of fear, and it was indeed a fear from the heart that a strong man could make such a shrill cry.

"Take it."

"What is this?"

Throwing the final mission bounty in front of Dahan, he slowly spoke under Dahan's surprised gaze: "Take this money and hire someone to protect you, this money is enough for you to escape from their pursuit, as long as you run away with all your strength, you should be able to buy a little time." ”

…………

"Nagato didn't take over the Land of Rain? And there are still fish that have slipped through the net under Nagato? It's kind of interesting. ”

Holding the girl on the way home, he savored the two accidental information, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I think I can use it to make some articles."
