37. Trivial matters to support people also require human lives

Although there were new clues in a sense, it didn't make Rayson feel any lighter.

After all, now I don't even know where the old woman is, and the baby's life and death are uncertain; As for the old woman's children, there is no way to find out. Judging from the age of the old woman, if she has children, she is probably middle-aged. There are so many people in the city who meet this condition that there is no way to investigate.

Thinking of this, Rayson couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and felt even more helpless and irritable. Mauris, they didn't find any other clues, it seems that the old woman should still be on the east side of the city.

I guess Mrs. Jane has to go again.

At this time, at the entrance of the settlement, there was a shout of scolding.

"What the hell! Untouchables, get out of here, it's time to pay the protection fee! ”

It was a group of teenagers, all of them arrogant, with faces full of seven disobedience and eight resentment, and when they came in, they kicked down the tents of several homeless people.

The homeless people trembled, and they didn't dare to come out, and their eyes were full of fear when they looked at the teenagers who suddenly arrived.

There is only fear, no resentment and complaining, only fear.

This scene is very strange, a group of sixteen or seventeen children, entering a place full of adults, and scolding at these people who are taller and bigger than them, shouting as if they are wolves, and these adults are all sheep.

"Hurry up and hand over something! What are you doing in a daze! You untouchables are tired of life, aren't you? A teenager kicked the wanderer next to him, but he couldn't stand still and fell to the ground.

With this fall, he felt that he had lost face, and suddenly became even more annoyed, picked up a piece of wood on the ground and smashed it on the homeless: "Fuck! You still dare to resist after a few days of coming? Mere untouchables still dare to disobey Lao Tzu?! ”

Poor homeless man didn't do anything, so he was beaten badly, even if he was a teenager, it would hurt to smash it down with a wooden square. The homeless begged for mercy while being beaten, not daring to resist at all, not even to hide.

"Untouchables! Hurriedly! Come and hand it in! ”

This voice came from their leader, it was still a female voice, and again, it was the girl who had wanted Maurice to drill the crotch of his pants and was cleaned up by Rayson. After a few days of not seeing her, she changed her hairstyle and wore dirty braids, which matched her ugly hippopotamus face very harmoniously.

She hadn't been in this area for a while, and today she was finally able to come out with her men, and she had already made up her mind that she would have to get enough money to go back. There are a lot of nomadic people in Devon City, and in this vicinity alone, there are quite a few camps formed by three or five or a dozen nomads like this, and one place may not receive too many supplies, but if they are all swept away, there will definitely be a lot of gains in total.

As she gave the order, a slightly taller boy from behind came up and threw a sack on the ground.

"One by one! Come and hand over something, if you don't want to be beaten, move quickly! ”

The homeless people did not dare to resist, and each took out cans, biscuits and other supplies, lined up and threw them into sacks; A teenager climbed onto a nearby scrapped truck and counted the number of people he saw in the settlement.

He had noticed a man sitting by the campfire in the distance, with his back to them, unaware of their presence.

On the side, Maurice was full of vegetables, and the little orange cat in front of him was eating the last can on his body.

"What should I do now......

Maurice shrank his head, afraid that others would see him, but he didn't know that he had already been counted in by the boy who climbed into the car.

In the past two days, in order to ask others to help find out the news, he used all the canned biscuits and other materials on his body, and he also borrowed two from the Yellow Tooth Guy, and now the Yellow Tooth only has one left.

Rayson, on the other hand, sat like a rock, as if nothing had anything to do with him. He had already given a lot of things in the past two days, and Maurice did not dare to ask Rayson for help, for fear that he would think he was greedy.

Soon, the sack was half full, and everyone except Maurice and Rayson went to hand in at least one can.

The tall boy counted them, and then counted them with the boy who counted the heads, and then reported to the girl who was the leader.

"Big sister, the number is wrong."

"Less?"

"Well, two less."

"Who didn't pay it?"

The boy who counted the heads pointed to Maurice and Rayson, who was facing away from them by the campfire. Because of the change of clothes, the pigtailed girl did not recognize Rayson.

But Maurice she remembered, and as soon as she saw him, she immediately became angry, and rushed over in three steps and two steps.

"! It's you again! ”

Seeing the pigtailed girl scolding and scolding, Mauriston's head shrank, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her, and said weakly: "I, I really don't have it now, can I make up for it next time?" ”

"I'll make up for your mother!" The pigtailed girl spat on Maurice's face, and when she saw that there was a cat eating canned food next to her, she kicked over as if angry.

The kitten babble, and the little orange hairball flew out.

"No!"

Maurice was so frightened that he hurriedly picked up the kitten, holding the little orange hair ball in both hands, and knelt on the ground with a worried face. The little hairy ball belly fell together, whining and wailing, and it seemed that it was not lightly injured.

"There's canned food for the cat to eat, and I don't know how to turn it in first? I think you just want to go against the old lady! ”

The pigtailed woman was still angry, and it was another kick in the past, Maurice in the face.

Maurice had an extra shoe print on his face and fell to the ground. Even so, he did not forget to protect the little orange cat under him; The pigtailed girl kicked Maurice violently, but she didn't hurt the little orange cat again.

"Untouchables! Litter! Dare to go against me! What about that guy last time? That man doesn't care about you now, right? I'm telling you, he's gone to give Saito a stinky foot! You garbage pariah! You deserve to be against me?! Now no one is covering you! I'll see how you die! ”

The pigtailed girl scolded and kicked at the same time, and after a while, she really had no strength before she gasped and stopped.

But she didn't intend to end there, she looked around and went over to pick up a large rock. The other teenagers all watched with interest, but the Yellowtooth and the other homeless people were trembling, their faces full of worry and fear, but none of them dared to step forward to stop them.

"If you don't pay protection money, you dare to keep a cat? You want to disobey us, don't you? The old lady will kill you and this stinky cat right now! The pigtailed girl picked up a half-body-sized stone, and grinned as she approached Maurice and the kitten lying on the ground.

In these years, people are dying every day, and even if the pigtailed girl kills Mauris here, no one will care about it, let alone expect someone to administer justice. In this degraded world, everyone has long regarded the law of the jungle as the norm, Mauris they are weak, and the lives of the weak deserve to be abused and played with by stronger people, and even they themselves have already acquiesced to all this.

But are they really weakling?

"The knife I gave you is still on you, right?"

Cold, a cold voice floated from the side.

The pigtailed woman turned her head to see that it was the man who had her back to them talking. The man had long hair, and the clothes on his body had never been seen, but the feeling emanating from this back was inexplicably familiar.

"You pariah, you are looking for ...... death"

The pigtailed girl instinctively wanted to scold, but suddenly, as soon as the silver light flashed, the pigtailed girl only felt a cold cheek.

Looking back again, Maurice got up at some point, holding the little orange cat in one hand and a claw knife with a curved blade in the other.

The claw knife is still stained with a little scarlet.

The pigtailed girl finally felt the pain on her face, and then realized that her face had really been scratched this time.

"Ah!!h

The dirty pigtailed girl instinctively screamed in disbelief, and the teenagers were also dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that these homeless people dared to rebel against them.

Maurice's face was full of horror, as if he couldn't believe that he had actually done it, and he still held the claw knife in his hand, and his whole body trembled.

The pigtailed girl screamed, and suddenly felt a wall-like figure in front of her.

Looking up, it was Rayson's indifferent face.

The screams of the pigtailed girl stopped abruptly, she never expected to meet this plague god again. When the white camel and the warthog took people to the villa before, she also followed, and she met Rayson in the villa at that time, and thought that Rayson had become Saito's staff and could no longer be mixed with vagrants like Maurice. That's why when she abused Mauris just now, she dared to be so arrogant.

Rayson looked at the dirty pigtailed girl with a face full of disbelief, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer: "See you again." ”

In the next second, the dirty pigtailed girl had a size 42 shoe print on her body and flew out upside down.

A group of teenagers hurried over and helped the dirty pigtailed girl who was kicked away, but none of them dared to challenge Rayson. That figure exuded an inviolable and powerful aura, as if it was a god guarding this land.

It was still the tall boy who collected the sack and looked around, picked up a wooden square, and was the first to rush towards Rayson.

With all his might, the boy smashed the wooden square in his hand at Rayson. Rayson only raised his hand for a moment, and with a click, Mu Fang broke off in response.

Looking at the broken wooden square, the boy was stupid, but then, there was another click.

This time, it was his calf that was broken. Rayson stepped directly on the young man's leg, his left calf was cut in two at a strange angle, and the scarlet flesh of Senbai's bones was extremely miserable.

"Uhh!!h

The boy screamed, and his companions all looked at their scalps tingling, and even the homeless people gasped when they saw it.

The next moment, Rayson spun around and kicked out again, kicking the boy out like a pigtailed girl.

The tall boy rose into the air and fell right into a gasoline barrel, his buttocks and half of his body were sunk into the barrel, and his limbs stretched out of the barrel, and he immediately fainted.

Seeing this posture, where do others dare to challenge Rayson? They all looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

The pigtailed girl finally took a breath back, looking at Rayson's gaze with horror and resentment: "Cough, you, you have a kind!" Let's go! ”

A group of people helped the pigtailed girl to slip away, but Rayson suddenly stopped them again: "Stop! ”

The teenagers all trembled and stopped unconsciously.

For a while, the teenagers were all shocked, they didn't dare to deal with Rayson, and they didn't dare to leave, and the crotch of a short teenager even began to glow wet yellow, exuding a strange smell. The pigtailed girl was also extremely nervous, she already hated Rayson, but she also knew that with the people here, let alone competing with Rayson, it was a great luck to get out alive.

Rayson looked at the trembling backs and said coldly: "Take all the garbage you brought; You didn't bring it, you left it all! If you dare to come out here in the future, don't leave forever, bury yourself under here to make fertilizer. ”

A group of teenagers trembled, went over to move the tall man out of the gasoline can, threw the sack of supplies on the ground, and ran away.

One kind of homeless people looked at each other, and the next moment, there was a violent cheer that erupted in unison.

"Hooray! We'll never have to be bullied again! ”

"Thank God! Thank you for sending someone to save us! ”

"Hooray!"

The wanderers rushed up to retrieve the supplies they had just handed in from the sacks, and then cast grateful glances at Rayson, some even saluting.

Rayson ignored them, turned over, and patted Maurice, who was still shivering, on the shoulder: "This time, you did a good job. ”

Rayson didn't deliberately want to help Maurice, what made him shoot was more of an upset for those little kids who didn't know the height of the sky, but Maurice's performance this time really made Rayson feel gratified.

Even Rayson himself didn't notice that before he knew it, he had taken Maurice as his own.

But at this moment, Maurice did not have the slightest joy, but his face was full of despair, his hand unconsciously loosened, and the claw knife fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"It's over...... It's over...... They'll definitely come back to settle scores, and they're dead......"

Rayson frowned. Maurice looked up at Rayson and smiled inexplicably: "Boss, I'm going to die, I'm going to die...... What am I going to do...... The kid hasn't been found yet, and when you're gone, they'll come back and kill me, who's going to find the kid then......"

"Smack!"

A slap in the face, the force was not heavy, and it was simply slapped in Maurice's face.

Even the orange cat in Maurice's arms was startled, staring at Rayson with wide starry eyes.

Maurice was also confused, covering his face and trembling: "Boss, boss? ”

"Listen! Maurice! Rayson said coldly: "You are like this now, even if you get that child back, do you think you can raise him?" Can you yourself have the life to watch him grow up? ”

"In such an environment, even you don't take your life as your life, who would take your life as your life? Do you think it's a paradise? I have to hand over rations to others every few days, and if I can't pay them, I will be beaten, and I may be killed at any time? Is that what you want to live like this? Is that what you want that kid to live? ”

Rayson's questioning made Maurice's face dazed, and after a long time, he stammered, "But...... What can we do? ”

"How?" Rayson sneered: "You remember one thing, you were bullied today, it's not that you should be bullied, it was you who gave that group of fools the opportunity to bully you." The weaker you are, the more they will take bullying you for granted. You may just regard the mistakes they find fault with and hand over the materials as protection money, these are daily chores, and a little hard work can be solved by turning over two more garbage heaps. ”

"But you have to know that these trivial things will only become more and more, more and more done, and the trivial things will support you, and one day they will kill you! Just like that! ”

Maurice lowered his head and was silent for a long time.

When he looked up again, his eyes were extremely serious and earnest: "That...... What am I going to do? ”

"Or, you go to a different place to live." Rayson said in a deep voice.

"Or, more vicious and vicious than they are, rebel when they bully you! Resist to the death, and make them afraid of you! Don't dare to think of you as someone you can bully at will. ”

With that, Rayson picked up the claw knife from the ground and shoved it back into Maurice's hand.

"Next time, remember, cut your throat, don't cut your face."

Rayson patted Maurice on the shoulder and turned back to the tent.

Maurice looked at the claw knife in his hand and fell into deep thought.

……

Early the next morning, Rayson came to the east of the city again and found Mrs. Jane.

Mrs. Jane didn't seem to be much surprised by Rayson's arrival, but was quite enthusiastic: "Yo, why don't you come early and help my business." ”

Rayson didn't plan to be polite with her, and went straight to the point: "That old lady, I didn't catch it, I still need you to continue to help me check." ”

Madame Jane smiled slightly, as if thinking. Rayson continued, "By the way, this old lady...... There may be a child, but I don't know who her child is or how old it is. If you find her again, you can have someone follow her and see if she has a relationship with anyone. ”

At the moment when Rayson said this, there was a brief surprise on Lady Jane's face.

But she quickly collected the burial and didn't let Rayson find out. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "I can continue to help you, then...... What can you do for me? ”

"What do you want?"

Mrs. Jane stared at Rayson, a pair of foxy eyes narrowed slightly, with a cold light.

"Saito often holds a ...... by his side Puppy, you know, right? ”

Rayson remembered the fair-skinned boy who was treated like a dog: "What? ”

"I hope you can bring him to me."

"Or, kill him."
