Chapter 0123: Strange Encounters on the Road
During this period, Guan Heng entrusted the landlord to send some necessities and food, and the little guy in Dingchun was still lazy, except for eating and sleeping, his body was obese, and there were no other significant changes.
On the morning of the third day, Hodley came to visit, and the two brothers chatted for a while, and the other party told Guan Heng that the matter of entering the Demon Martial Arts Academy would be eyebrow-raising within one or two weeks, and then Lao Huo said that there was still something in the house, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
After sending Hodley away, Guan Heng ate lunch alone, he felt that he was immersed in hard study for a while, and his body was about to rust, how could he do it without stretching his muscles and bones?
So Guan Heng took Dingchun out of the house and decided to go out for a walk.
Walking on the streets of this slum, Guan Hengcai felt that the life of the people here was very hard, it was really not ordinary poverty, compared with the rich families on Wangdu Central Street, it was a world of difference! The streets here are shrouded in darkness even during the day!
The houses in the slums were all simple plank houses of varying heights, and the closer to the street were better, the further you went, the worse the houses became, old and dilapidated, moldy, damp and muddy, full of dirty water, and surrounded by countless mosquitoes and flies.
The narrow roads and the clenched ground seem to indicate that this place will never let the sun shine!
Walking on the dilapidated stone pavement, there are some yellow-skinned paupers who seem to be busy all day long to barely fill their stomachs.
For those high-ranking officials and magnates in the royal capital, the poor are the most inconspicuous inferior people like slaves, and there is no need to waste too many resources on this garbage, in this world, the contradiction between the poor and the rich is so strong.
Thinking of this, Guan Heng just shook his head slightly: "Under the rule of the royal capital, there is a huge disparity between the rich and the poor, hehe, but it doesn't matter to us!" β
"Woo woo......" Dingchun, who was following at Guan Heng's feet, suddenly screamed a few times, Guan Heng looked down at it and asked, "Chun'er, what's wrong with you?" β
snapped and bit Guan Heng's trouser legs, Dingchun raised a small front paw and pointed ahead, Guan Heng realized that he was thinking about things because he was looking down, and he didn't notice that someone in front of him ran over!
"Huh, huh, huh......" The other party gasped and rushed to Guan Heng, and grabbed Guan Heng's arm without saying anything: "Mr. Hughes, help, save my sister......"
"Hey, little brother!" Guan Heng frowned and looked at it, this was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy in front of him: "I'm not Mr. Hughes, you're looking for the wrong person, right?" β
"Huh?" This poor young man in shabby coarse cloth clothes raised his eyes to see that he had recognized the wrong person, his face was full of sweat, and he said with embarrassment: "I'm sorry, this big brother, it seems that I recognized the wrong person!" β
"I'm sorry for the trouble!" The boy bowed deeply and turned his head to run away.
"Wait, don't rush to leave just yet, tell me what's going on!" Guan Heng observed the young man's panic and anxious attitude, and felt that something was wrong, so he wanted to see if he could help: "My name is Guan Heng, tell me your name, and then tell me about your sister!" β
The boy had wanted to find a hunter named Hughes for help, but he walked around the street and couldn't find the other party's figure.
Now he is also sick and goes to the doctor, so when he heard Guan Heng's words, there was a little bit of wanting to help, and the young man couldn't help but be ecstatic as if he had grasped a life-saving straw!
A moment later, Guan Heng took the young man named Michelle and hurried out of the city gate near the slum and went straight to the outskirts of the royal capital.
Along the way, Guan Heng thought about what the young man said, and he was simply indignant!
This child named Michelle is thirteen years old this year, he has an older sister named Di Li, the two sisters and brothers' parents died early, and they live in the slums without support, only relying on their sister Di Li to work as a maid in a large family, sewing and washing clothes for others, and her life is very sad.
Although Michelle is young, the saying "the children of the poor are in charge of the house early" is not false at all, and in order to help his sister reduce the burden, he often goes to the woods in the suburbs to pick wild fruits and dig mountain mushrooms, and then takes them to the shops in the city to exchange money to supplement the family.
On this morning, Michelle took some tools for digging mountain mushrooms and went to the woods in the suburbs, but on the way, she unexpectedly found that Carlo, the young master of the rich family, who was her sister's helper, took a few evil slaves to escort her sister to walk quickly on the forest path in front.
At that time, my sister Di Li's arms were cut off and tied up strongly, so she was driven away by the evil young people!
In a hurry, Michelle wanted to rush out to save her sister, but there were six people on the other side, and she was just a teenager, Michelle didn't dare to act rashly, in case she was also caught, there would be no one to save her sister!
Michelle had no choice but to secretly follow the evil young Carlo and his entourage, intending to wait for an opportunity to rescue his sister, who knew that before he knew it, Michelle had followed the people in front of him to the end of the woods, and the front had reached the foot of a towering mountain.
The evil young Carlo took the evil slaves to the front of the entrance of a deep cave, and said a few words respectfully to the inside, because it was far away, Michelle did not hear what he said, but after more than ten seconds, in the grotto, a bald strong man with a giant sword strode out, and the man talked to Carlo!
At this moment, Michelle quietly approached seven or eight meters, and with the tailwind, he could barely hear the other party's voice.
I heard a flattering Carlo say: "Lord Garuda, according to your orders, I have captured another young girl who is not yet married, hehe, you see, promise me a reward......"
Before Carlo could finish speaking, the strong man Garuda coldly interrupted him: "Bastard thing! What do I say to you! Twenty young men and women were to be gathered in three days, preferably unmarried and strong-blooded! But you've only caught a few people, and you still have the face and I want to reward them? β
"This, you listen to my explanation, it's been ...... recently" Carlo still wanted to quibble, the murderous Garuda had already swung his giant sword, and the cold light flashed, knocking down the two evil servants beside him, and in an instant, the red mist that splashed out immediately splashed Carlo on his head and face!
"Ahh
The strong man Garuda raised the soles of his boots, rubbed the blood stains on his sword, and said in a cold and solemn voice: "If the young men and women I want are not sent, these two scum will be your fate, not only you, but also your relatives in the royal city will all die!" β
As soon as he said this, Garuda's ears flickered, and he keenly sensed something unusual, his eyes stared at the trees in the distance, and he suddenly shouted: "Who is hiding there?" Get the hell out of here! ββ
