Chapter 50: Original Sin × Overturned× Indigestion
"Ed, wouldn't it be bad for you to do this?" The little girl in ragged clothes bit her black fingers and looked worriedly at her brother who was struggling to hold the back of the carriage, her big transparent eyes exuding a pitiful weakness.
Her brother, who was a head taller than her, hung in the back of the car and struggled a few times, and finally fell off, clutching his arms there. The carriage was very high, and the tail panel had worn out a lot of jagged wooden thorns that had scratched the little boy.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" The little girl hurriedly ran over, took her brother's arm, saw several bleeding red mouths on it, her round eyes were suddenly filled with tears, and she wanted to wrap her clothes, but because the clothes were too dirty, she had no choice but to stretch out her pink tongue to lick the wound for her brother.
"Apa, I'm fine. What is this pain? No matter how painful it is, can there be more than Mido's leg pain? The little boy Ed's face was obscured by his messy and foul-smelling hair, and he only showed a cold look in his eyes, and stubbornly withdrew his arm from his sister Apa's arms. Looking at his thin arms and frail little body, Ed secretly lamented his uselessness.
Looking at the high rear of the car, Ed called a few friends to ask them to help themselves go up, and they must go up.
Mido, when everyone was running away from the slave hunters yesterday, ended up breaking his leg in order to lure those guys away, and he was in dire need of money to treat him. The swollen and transparent calves and painful moans let Ed, as the leader, know that he could not delay any longer, but he was helpless, until today, when he was walking around the streets, he saw a carriage driven by only one pedestrian, and in the back compartment of the carriage lay a few round beads.
Ed swore that his immaculate beads were very much like the pearls that the Angry Wave Walkers from far away from Swallowing Sky Harbor paid tribute to the Queen, and he had seen them at the ceremony to welcome the Angry Wave Walkers into the city, and the round little ones placed high in the hands of the attendants made Ed never forget them after seeing them, and even more so the graceful and elegant honor of the beautiful queen when she brought the beautiful pearls.
After seeing these beads, Ed could no longer suppress the wild grass growing in his heart. Get those beads in exchange for Midor's life!
Together, these orphans live in the sewers on the banks of the Samen River, where they rely on the stench and complexity of the sewers to escape ruthless slave hunters and collect what they can sell to support themselves. With his cunning and cunning, Ed sells collectibles to the Faceless Trader on behalf of the orphans, barely feeding the family.
He knew that the beads could cause trouble, but they would be the most wanted treasure of the bigwigs, and they were destined to become the Faceless Merchant's favorite unsolicited item. It's just that Ed can't care so much.
These beads will definitely be extorted by the faceless merchants for most of their value, but as long as they are exchanged for money that can cure Mido, it will be enough. With this carriage that can carry goods, everyone can escape from this cruel place and go further, and in the future, whether the carriage is pulling goods or carrying people, everyone can live safely.
The queen saved and protected the entire kingdom, and Ed is still alone, and Ed is grateful to her, but he doesn't expect her to protect everyone. To be born weak is original sin, and this is the darkest part of human nature.
So in order for everyone to live together, Ed could only take advantage of the walker's inattention and take the carriage away, as for why the royal man stupidly threw the priceless treasure in the carriage and didn't care, what kind of blow or punishment he would receive if he lost the treasure, let him hell with it.
Now, the seductive beads are in front of you, and there are four of them, maybe it will be enough to sell two of them, leaving two for emergency. With the help of his friends, Ed finally got into the carriage, looked at the beads, couldn't help but smile the happiest, and then stretched out his hand to the beads.
It's just, why is the sun so dazzling and so blue?! Ed hurriedly avoided the glaring blue light that suddenly appeared in front of him, and fell from the back of the car again in a panic, and crushed his little friend to the ground. When Ed got up, he found everyone else, including his sister Apa looking at him in surprise, not at the carriage.
Ed turned slowly, and the gentle rays of the setting sun passed through the huge blue gems, scattering a blinding blue light that rippled on the banks of the Samen River. And in the open space at the back of the car, behind Ed, a person appeared out of thin air.
"You, your name is Ed?" The man was fully armoured, and his hair was as long and messy as his own, but his body was a little cleaner than Ed's. The man was carrying a burden, a bracelet made of pearls on his wrist, and a thick round stick in his hand, but the round stick looked like a weapon, and it was not a good thing.
Ed looked at the man in front of him smiling and asking him questions in disbelief, and instead of answering the question, he put his arms around his sister and instructed his little friend to keep retreating, as if he was about to run away.
"These stinky boys! Even if you steal a car, even Shuyun wants to take it, isn't such a thing afraid of burning your hands? Qi Yu looked at the little ones who were about to flee in all directions, and scolded in his heart: "Hey...... Don't run...... Well....... Quite obedient? ”。
Qi Yu saw those stinky and dirty little kids running a few steps and suddenly stopped, the one named Ed, who was about the same age as the little guy he missed, was protecting his sister and looking at him with a strange expression.
"What's wrong? Can't I, the master, say two words? Rest assured, I won't...... Ouch! Qi Yu was trying to adjust his most amiable expression and express his innocence when he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and he fell down in front of him.
"Well done! Mido! Ed looked at the fallen man and excitedly complimented a tall boy behind him. The boy was only a little shorter than Qi Yu, holding a huge wooden stick, and there was still blood faintly sticking to the wooden stick. The reason why he is called a boy is because he was just born tall, with a thin physique like Ed, looking stupid, and a childish look on his face. It's just that he's sweating profusely, and now he looks a little unsteady on his feet.
Seeing this, Ed shouted, "Don't move! Hurriedly ran over to help the boy who had attacked Qi Yu on his back. Ed ran to the boy's side, and couldn't help but pick up the boy's tattered trouser legs, and when he saw the calves that were obviously more swollen and hot, he couldn't help but get angry: "Mido! You don't want to die! ”
Middo smiled wryly and looked at Ed, and the stick slipped away with a thud, and his body fell to his back. Ed and a few friends quickly lifted Mido up and prepared to go home, the home hidden in the dark, damp, foul-smelling sewers.
"Boss, the bead is flying!" A child who followed behind exclaimed, pointing to the beads that were getting farther and farther in the air. Ed gritted his teeth and replied, "Fly...... Never mind. You take the burden on that guy's back, you find something to cover the shining thing on the carriage, and we're going to go!" ”
"Good! Top dog! ...... A few of you follow me, and the rest of you will carry Mido back with the boss! When the boy heard Ed's words, he untied the burden behind Qi Yu and carried it on his back, and called a few children to fold a lot of branches and leaves in the bushes by the river, and after covering the green light with a thick layer without leaking it, he chased after Ed who was far away and ran into the sewer.
Long after the children disappeared from the sewers, no one came to the river, only the half-pulled sunset slowly sinking on the horizon. In the bird's nest in the tree not far from the carriage, more than a dozen round beads slowly emerged, but it was not the beam cloud that Ed couldn't get.
Shu Yunzhu was about to float, "Wow! Wow! A pair of huge black wings swooped down with an ominous sound, and the sharp claws under the black wings pressed the cloud beads into the nest again, and then, a pair of black and curious eyes lay down, staring closely at the slippery thing under the claws, and then raised their claws, one by one, and swallowed the cloud beads.
