"What do you want to do?"

The little boy protected Aina behind him and looked at the three people blocking the road with a wary expression.

Although he was young, he lived in a place like a slum, and he knew much more about some darkness than his peers, and the eyes of the three people in front of him could guess with their ass.

So now he only hoped that the three of them would snort and leave after seeing his and his sister's tattered clothes.

"Stop talking nonsense."

The white-haired young man led by the three lazily stretched out his hand: "Hand over the money you just earned, so as to avoid the pain of flesh and skin." ”

The little boy's face changed, and the other party's words directly made his luck go away, so it seems...... These three people should have been eyeing themselves a long time ago.

But......

If this money is given to them, then the results of everyone's hard work for half a year and everyone's expectations......

But the other party is three adults, if you don't give them money, she and Aina may lose not only money, but if you resist, you will most likely be beaten by these three people.

If it was just him, he would dare to fight with these three people, but he was still followed by Aina!

The little boy's eyes were faintly bloodshot, which showed the extent of his inner struggle.

Wood in the shadows shook his head when he saw this, this is the most typical thing to ask for money and not die.

Maybe this money is important to the brother and sister, and even starve to death without this money and so on.

But it's a bit stupid to hesitate for so long in this situation where you can only choose between life and money.

Save your life, no matter how small the hope of survival is, there is still it; But if you are seriously injured or even killed on the spot, there is really no hope at all.

"Grinding and chirping annoys individuals."

The little man on the far left said impatiently: "It seems that you want us to beat you until you can't move, and then take the money away." ”

"Wait."

At this moment, a voice interjected, making several people in the audience stunned.

Wood walked out of the shadows, and when he came behind the two little boys, he took something out of his arms and threw it out.

This scene made the faces of the three of them change, and they subconsciously took a few steps back, but then the three of them were stunned in place.

Dingdingding......

In the crisp sound of collision, everyone present could see the appearance of the thing clearly.

The dazzling gold is so conspicuous even in the dark alleys, this kind of thing that should never appear here, makes several people stunned.

"Three brothers, this ring is what I gave you, how about we pass through here?"

Give it to us?

The three of them didn't believe their ears, this ring could be sold for at least a dozen gold coins from the perspective of workmanship, and the other party actually said that he wanted to give it to the three of them?

The white-haired young man looked at Wood with a suspicious look in his eyes, but in the end he still did not resist the temptation of the gold ring, and pulled out a dagger to hook the ring, and the two people next to him hurriedly stepped forward to check the authenticity of the ring.

Finalized......

It was indeed a gold ring.

"Are you stupid?"

The little boy sneaked up behind Wood and whispered with complicated eyes, "Since you see it, go and call the guards, why do you want to jump out and give the ring to these bastards." ”

"Doing so will only relieve the siege for a while, and anger them, and the next time we meet, it will only lead to more serious retaliation." Wood pouted.

Originally, he was indeed going to give the ring to the little boy as a reward, instead of stealing someone's money bag to pay, after all, as long as Wood wanted to, it was far easier to make money than stealing, so naturally he would not care about this small ring.

And the reason why he changed his mind was precisely because he found that the three of them were secretly peeping.

As the saying goes, sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing to suddenly get a large sum of money, but it is likely to get into trouble.

According to his original plan, he used himself as bait to lure the three of them over, and then handed over the gold ring to them, lest the two imps not think of fighting for a gold ring.

But Wood didn't expect that the three thieves actually gave up their big fish, and instead chose to rob the two little boys.

But on closer thought, Wood also vaguely guessed what the three clever little rascals thought.

Why are they smart?

is because in Wood's opinion, just because the three of them can figure out who can be messed with and who can't be provoked under the temptation of money, it can already be said to be very smart.

"Are you sure you want to give this to us?"

The white-haired young man frowned, looking at Wood with suspicion in his eyes.

"Hmm."

Wood smiled slightly: "Buying us three lives with a gold ring, this deal is still worth it in my opinion." ”

The white-haired young man and his two companions beside him glanced at each other, then nodded and moved straight to the sides; Although this robbery was a bit weird, this valuable gold ring was enough for them to fight once.

What's more, this was sent by the other party on his own initiative.

The three of them had been doing this for a long time, so they knew that some people in this royal capital must not be offended.

Because of this, after some discussion among the three of them, they gave up the tempting idea of robbing Wood.

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old ghost casually took out a valuable ring, which has already shown that the family background behind the other party is not simple, and those who do their job often have no good end if they provoke this kind of person, so they will retreat and choose a slum ghost who is easier to bully.

But now the situation is completely different, the ring is held in their hands so closely, even if they know that the other party has a conspiracy, few people can give up the windfall in front of them.

In case the other party is really a coward, the three of them may regret it for the rest of their lives if they miss this opportunity.

To put it bluntly, this is a common fluke mentality.

But......

Wood really didn't have any intention of deceiving the three of them, anyway, he had already prepared to give away the ring.

Although he could kill these three people in an instant if he really did it, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it was more appropriate to spend money to buy roads.

If one of them is a relative of a powerful or powerful person, killing them will get you into trouble.

This is unlikely, but it is definitely not impossible.

Big people are afraid of each other, and there are few conflicts on the surface.

And conflicts are often caused by small people who are overlooked, such as those often in the bridge, such and such a bandit is the apprentice or son of a certain big guy, and he is killed by the protagonist casually, and finally attracts the pursuit of the big guy and so on......

This kind of plot is really ridiculous, but it's not impossible, and even Wood has experienced it himself, isn't the god of the state religion called Eris now being a thief......

For the sake of a polite little girl, this kind of thing can be done, but nosy and getting into trouble is something that Wood will never do.

"Just gone?"

Watching Wood disappear at the end of the alley with the figure of the two imps, the three of them felt even more uneasy in their hearts.

What the hell is this?

……

"Hey, you've got a bad brain!!"

As soon as he crossed the alley, the little boy roared with a tangled face: "Even if I give them money, you can't give them the gold ring, do you know how much the ring is worth?" ”

Aina, who was on the side, also looked at Wood with an expression of 'hate iron does not make steel', obviously she also felt that Wood's actions just now were too stupid.

"Your sister is this?"

Wood didn't answer the little boy's words, but looked at Aina to the side, a little puzzled on her face.

When he had spoken to him before, he had not spoken, and Wood could still treat her as afraid of life; But in that situation just now, Aina still didn't say a word, which is a little strange.

The little boy glanced at Aina beside him and said casually, "Aina, she was born unable to speak. ”

The two siblings have experienced this kind of problem a lot, so they don't feel anything sad, at least the two of them are still alive.

Wood nodded, although he had already guessed, but after hearing the little boy's words, he still subconsciously reached out and touched Aina's head.

“……”

Aina shrank slightly, but then gave up dodging, only to stiffen immediately when Wood's hand covered her head, apparently not used to this kind of touching.

Wood also saw this, so he rubbed it twice and then removed his hand, and turned to the little boy and said: "Little ghost, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, give them the money directly, after all, there is only one life, if you are killed, it will be difficult for your sister to survive in this kind of world alone." ”

"I want you to take care of it!!"

Although he knew that the other party was for his own good, he saw that the face of an elder who was only one or two years older than him had an elder's face, which made the little boy very unhappy.

However, after a few seconds of silence, he turned his head: "Although your behavior is like a pen, but... Thank you......" By the end of the sentence, the little boy's voice had become so low that if it weren't for Wood's strong hearing, he wouldn't be able to make out what he was saying.

Syllable!

Wood raised his hand for a moment, looking at Aina, who was rushing in front of him to give her brother a shiver, and couldn't help but become a little weird.

"Shhh...... Aina, what are you doing beating me? ”

Naturally, Aina couldn't respond to his question, so she responded directly with actions.

I saw Anna hold the back of her brother's head with one hand, bend him down, and then bow to Wood together.

The little boy immediately understood his sister's thoughts, and bowed his head very reluctantly: "Cut, thank you, although even if you don't come, we won't have ......"

Bang!

Before she could finish speaking, Aina pressed the little boy's face directly into the soil, and bowed to Wood apologetically.

"......" the corners of Wood's mouth moved slightly.

That's a big change, isn't it?

Obviously, this girl was still cowardly and afraid of life before, but now she is so irritable...... This reminded Wood of a sentence he had already understood...... After the cute Lori is cut, it is full of bear children!

"Aina, you can't get married when you grow up like this."

The little boy cleaned up the dust on his face and stood up very indifferently, obviously the scene just now had become his daily routine, and it did not make the little boy feel embarrassed.

It's a very interesting brother and sister.

Wood couldn't help but smile, even though life was difficult, but the companionship of the brother and sister in front of him gave people a very happy feeling.

"Bye-bye, little ghost."

Wood patted the boy on the head, but was then pushed aside by the boy.

"You're a little ghost, Uncle Ben's name is Baz, so you're not a little ghost."

The little boy Buzz snorted dissatisfiedly, and then recalled what Wood had just said, and a complication flashed in his eyes: "Are you leaving?" ”

"Otherwise, you're still going to invite me to dinner."

Buzz turned his head and waved his hand in disgust: "Whoever wants to invite a mentally retarded like you to eat, if you want to go, go quickly, mentally retarded can be contagious." After that, he was silent for a moment, and continued: "Cross this alley and turn left along the street, there is a path over there that can also go back to the main street. ”

Wood smiled when he heard this, and he found that this little ghost was actually a good person except for his bad mouth.

But then Wood felt someone tug at the corner of his coat, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Aina pointing in the direction of the ghetto with an expectant expression, and then gestured with both hands to take a bowl to eat.

This girl......

Wood showed a warm look in his eyes, and then shook his head with a smile: "Forget it, you don't have to be grateful to me, after all, that ring was originally intended to be used as a reward for Buzz, but I changed my mind after I found out that those three people were eyeing you, so I have nothing to lose." ”

"Ha~~~"

Buzz's eyes widened, and the whole person stayed in place for nearly half a minute, and then pounced directly at Wood: "You bastard, give me back the gold ring!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey."

Wood dodged to the side in a casual flash, looking at the frenzied Buzz, the smile on his face becoming more and more immoral.

Really......

This kind of feeling of cheating others and still having nothing to do with yourself is really great.

But......

Wood looked down at the hands that were holding the hem of his clothes, raised his head and said with a smile: "Isn't it a good habit to forcibly invite people to dinner?" ”

“……”

Aina was silent for a moment, let go of her hand and walked towards her brother, and then, ignoring Buzz's reaction, took out the coin from Wood from his pocket and handed it to Wood, looking at Wood with a stubborn expression.

"Eh, eh... Wait...... Aina, this really doesn't work, without this money......"

Aina turned her head and glared at Buzz, directly causing the brother to shrink his neck, and at the same time closing his mouth, he winked at Wood......

What is your majesty as a brother?

Seeing this, Wood was a little speechless, co-authoring your boss when there is someone, and her boss when there is no one?

"Tut-tut......"

Wood snorted twice, expressed his sigh, and then looked at Aina in front of him and smiled: "I won't pay for it if it's not delicious." ”

Aina's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously.

"Cut, don't force yourself to come if you don't want to come."

A look of complexity flashed in Buzz's eyes, and he looked at Wood's eyes and said, "We don't have big fish and meat here for a noble young master like you to eat." ”

"Who told you that I was a noble young master?" Wood smiled: "And there is really nothing in this world that I can't eat!" ”

"Who are you fooling? If you can take out that kind of gold ring casually, even if you are not a noble young master, your family is definitely very rich. ”

"You're guessing wrong."

The corners of Wood's mouth hooked: "Remove the money left in the wallet, and give away the gold ring is all my assets." ”

"What?"

Buzz was stunned, and Aina, who was on the side, also widened her eyes and looked at Wood with an incredulous expression.

"Really!"

“……”

“……”

"Idiot, Aina, this bastard is definitely the number one idiot in the world!!"

This time Aina didn't do anything, but nodded approvingly.

……
