The Colosseum
Wen Lebang was relieved by the huge impact of information, and the answer he had been looking for suddenly appeared in front of him.
His mind was like mush right now, and he urgently needed to find a quiet place to sort out all his thoughts.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a female voice suddenly stopped him: "Little young master, are you here to find the eldest young master in the ancestral hall?" ”
This is a friend who has made friends with him, hearing the sound outside the door Xu Hongyun walked out with the housekeeper, Wen Lebang was outside the door, how long, did he hear the conversation between him and the housekeeper?
Wen Lebang looked at Xu Hongyun and the housekeeper who came out, and squeezed out a smile to greet them: "Hello brother"
Xu Hongyun glanced at Wen Lebang calmly: "Is there something wrong?" ”
Wen Lebang said: "I know that today is the death day of my father-in-law, and you will be very sad when you are my brother, so I want to come over and comfort you, so that you can agree to let me go to school."
But I didn't expect that I would learn such a shocking secret, why did you have any intentions for my good? After so many years of getting along, don't you have any kindness to me? Why can you still unswervingly use me as your brother's container?
Wen Lebang wanted to question Xu Hongyun loudly, but he also knew in his heart that his mind was now a pile of twine, this was not the best opportunity to question Xu Hongyun, he sorted it all out, what to do when he thought about it?
His rash questioning now is just exposing himself to Xu Hongyun, which may make his situation more dangerous.
Hearing Wen Lebang's words, Xu Hongyun may have a hard heart, and was suddenly touched by Wen Lebang's warm words, perhaps because he thought that Wen Lebang would not live long, since he wanted to use his body, it was better to do a good deed to be kind to him, let him experience the school life he longed for, so that when he died, he would not have regrets.
Xu Hongyun waved his hand like a puppy and said to Wen Lebang: "Do you really want to go to school so much?" ”
Wen Lebang nodded
Xu Hongyun said: "Okay, I know, I will arrange for you to go to school, but you must take the housekeeper and a guard to school." ”
Wen Lebang lowered his head and endured his expression, and asked him to bring a housekeeper and guards when he went to school, was he afraid that he, the container he had raised for many years, would suddenly run away? I have always disagreed with him going to school before, but today I suddenly agreed to him to go to school, is it a weak heart?
All kinds of negative thoughts emerged in Wen Lebang, looking at Wen Lebang stupidly lowering his head, Xu Hongyun said: "Raise your head, manly man, how can you keep your head down?" ”
Then he saw that there was really water in Wen Lebang's eyes, and he felt his heart tremble: "Why are you so wronged?" ”
Wen Lebang said: "I just didn't expect that all of a sudden, what I had been looking forward to came true, so I was a little excited, "Don't you know what grievances?" I always thought that you might really be a brother to me, even if a person has a small pet around him for a long time, he will be sad when the little pet dies, but you have raised a person by your side, for so many years, how can you decide his death without blinking?
Xu Hongyun walked over and hugged Wen Lebang into his arms: "If you are ambitious, you are so moved and happy because of a small school matter, so what should I do if I give you a bigger surprise in the future?" ”
Wen Lebang said: "I can't be as hard as my brother, I have a soft heart, so my brother will move me if I give me a little warmth" and give me a bigger surprise, you gave me the biggest surprise, didn't you treat me as a container for so many years?
Wen Lebang said, "Brother, do you have anything else?" If nothing happens, my brother will take his leave."
Xu Hongyun put his hands behind his back: "There's nothing to do, let's go, pay attention to rest, and when your school is arranged, you can go to school in the future." ”
Wen Lebang happily turned to leave, Xu Hongyun stared at Wen Lebang's departing back for a long time.
The housekeeper asked, "Big Young Master, do you suspect that Little Master heard our conversation?" ”
Xu Hongyun didn't answer the housekeeper's question, he just said to the housekeeper: "Optimistic about Wen Lebang"
Back in his room, Wen Lebang curled up his body, leaning tightly on the head of the bed, he felt the boundless cold, although it was still the height of summer, but his cold spread from his heart.
He wondered if all the people in this big mansion knew his consequences, but no one would remind him that although the housekeeper said that he would treat himself as his own grandson, he obviously supported Xu Hongyun to treat himself as his own brother's container, and Xiaohong played so well with himself, maybe he was still in his heart, and he was still thinking about going to school in a container......
Wen Lebang felt that none of the people in this big mansion were sincere to him.
He was entangled in whether he wanted to run away or not, he didn't know how powerful the Xu family was, but Xu Hongyun had such an antique mansion, and he could easily buy him from the traffickers, and those two traffickers were respectful to Xu Hongyun, from this point of view, Xu Hongyun's strength was probably so strong that he couldn't imagine it, but was he willing to die like this? Let others live in their own appearance, he ended a life that he had never experienced, and his life memories now spend almost all his days in this mansion, I don't know what a normal person's life looks like? But such a life must not be the life he wants.
If he is really ready to escape, then he has to plan quietly, the first escape will be very likely to be successful, and if he is caught, he does not know what he will face again.
made up his mind and asked him to help him on the surface that he was still happy as before, but he had been thinking of various ways to escape in his heart.
Everyone's life is only once, he must cherish the opportunity to live, he must learn to resist, he will not accept his fate, if after the resistance, he is still used as a container by Xu Hongyun, then maybe his fate in this life should be like this.
The long-planned escape has finally come, he has estimated the terrain of the school very clearly, and feels that the environment of this school is accessible in all directions, and he has thought of many plans to facilitate his escape.
On the day of the school's sports day, he knocked out the workers who came to clean the toilet in the toilet, changed into the workers' clothes, pushed a small cart and left the toilet, and left the school all the way to avoid surveillance.
Freedom suddenly appeared in front of him, and at this moment he became a real Wen Lebang, he belonged only to himself and not to anyone.
The feeling of being free and easy turned out to be so good, did he get a chance to be reborn? After being happy, he told himself that now was not the time to let down his vigilance, he had just completed the first step now, escaping from the school, he didn't know if he was out of Xu Hongshui's surveillance now, took out the ID card he asked someone to find, and Wen Lebang went to the station to buy a ticket.
The moment he got into the car, his tense heart also relaxed slightly.
The school is in full swing for a sports day, and no one will notice that one person has suddenly disappeared, and by the time they find out, they may have taken it to another city.
Goodbye, Xu Hongyun.
Wen Lebang bought a train ticket to Wuma City, and he took a bus from Wuma City to Fenxi Town, and then from Fenxi Town to Wujiang City, and then bought a train ticket from Wujiang City to four other cities, and then he chose any city and left.
By the time he arrived in Lixin City, fifteen days had passed since he fled, and he had been paying close attention to the movements around him and the news on television for the past fifteen days.
He didn't know when he would be able to really relax, but even with this tension, he was still happy, and he knew that he had a new life.
With the empty seat, Wen Lebang knew how difficult it was to live outside, he was a minor, many places did not recruit child labor, he went to some places in time to apply for jobs, those people saw that he was very delicate, and his hands did not look like he had done rough work, and they did not want to hire him rashly.
The emperor paid off, and finally the owner of a restaurant was willing to take him in as a dishwasher, but the salary was monthly, and the hourly wage was about ten yuan, and if he was asked, he wanted to say that he was a child of the family, and he did not sign any agreement when he joined the work for the first time.
After twenty-nine days of hard work, the boss was about to fire him for breaking a plate, and he and the boss had a heated argument, and finally the boss hired someone to throw it out of the hotel.
There is a lot of rain in summer, and now it is pouring outside, he was thrown out of the hotel like this, and the things in his bag have not had time to take them, the rain slapped coldly on her face, he felt wronged, but he didn't want to cry, he knew that in life, he would definitely suffer a little grievance, because no one would unconditionally accommodate himself, and the biggest grievance he had ever suffered was the grievance Xu Hongyun gave him, she could bear the grievance, why couldn't he bear this grievance? It's just that if he doesn't get paid this month, he probably won't even be able to pay next month's rent.
Self-deprecating smiled in the rain, he won't starve to death in the end, right?
Just when he was sad and desperate, a black umbrella suddenly appeared on him: "Little guy, are you an adult?" ”
It was a man in a black suit and a tall magic hat, it was a bit strange to dress like this, if you walked on the street, it would definitely attract people's attention, but now because there was no one on the street because of the rainstorm, Wen Lebang raised his head and saw the man's face clearly, his beard was very thick, his eyes were narrowed into a slit, and he wore glasses with a gold wire frame.
"I'm three years away from coming of age"
The man with the umbrella seemed a little disappointed: "Why is it here?" I've been observing you for a few days now, little helper. ”
Hearing that the man had been observing him for several days, Wen Lebang was vigilant, and he closed himself in his own world and did not communicate with men.
Looking at Wen Lebang like this, the man smiled lightly: "Don't mind too much, the reason why I observe you is just because you are too handsome, I don't know how many people are going to this restaurant for you, the little boy who helps wash the dishes is so handsome, you have pulled a lot of business to this family, why are you abandoned by that family now?" ”
Wen Lebang said in a sullen voice: "But even if I help them pull a lot of business, they don't even want to give me a simple salary."
The man with the umbrella lifted his gold-rimmed glasses: "Do you want to talk to me like this all the time?" There's a café around the corner in front, why don't you talk to me"
Wen Lebang thought that it was not a good thing that he had been in the rain, so he simply went to the café to chat with this strange man, anyway, in public, this man couldn't do anything to himself?
After all, he was not deeply involved in the world, and just around the corner, the man with the umbrella suddenly took out a white cloth and covered his mouth, and Wen Lebang lost consciousness in an instant.
When he woke up again, he was placed in a cage.
In addition to him, there were ten identical cages, but some of them had people in them, and some of them had no people.
The boy next to Wen Lebang leaned on the side of the cage, not knowing what he was looking at, staring at the front tightly: "Brother, can you tell me where this is?" ”
He called the boy again, but the boy ignored himself and still looked straight ahead.
Wen Lebang reluctantly called the boy again: "Brother, can you hear me?" I'm new to our place, I don't know where this is, can you tell me? ”
In the face of the unknown, he can only bravely explore, no matter what the result is, he must know an answer, even if this answer is even more unacceptable to him.
The boy finally reacted, he turned around in a daze, and Wen Lebang realized that a boy's face didn't know why there were traces of being scratched by a wild beast, huge paw prints were printed on the man's face, and blood was falling down drop by drop, but the man's gaze was very calm, as if this was an ordinary thing.
The man pointed to his mouth, signaling that he couldn't speak, Wen Lebang was about to change the next person to understand the situation, and finally a man who looked about thirty years old across from him told him.
"You are in the Colosseum now, and we are the ones who fight the beasts."
When Wen Lebang heard this answer, he was taken aback in his heart: "How can you succeed in fighting with a beast?" ”
The man told him: "But we are all sold, so no matter how we live or die, they will not be responsible, if you succeed in surviving then there is the next game waiting for you, if you die, the game is just being dragged out, and the world will suddenly lose you." ”
This is something that Wen Lebang has never been exposed to before, and I don't know how I ended up here.
