Chapter Seventy-Six: Almost Exposed
I reluctantly glanced back at Jiusheng, then looked at the girl and said, "Then we are passing by, my buddy can't get used to the actions of those people, so I will let you down by the way." ”
The girl nodded, then looked at Jiusheng and said, "Thank you, I thought I was going to be killed." ”
"By the way, why were you beaten by those people?" I looked at the girl and asked.
After hearing this, the girl hesitated for a moment and said, "Because I went to pick up other leftovers, and then they saw it, and then they started beating me, saying that I couldn't pick up other people's things to eat." ”
Jiusheng glanced at the girl, and then said, "You must be very hungry, you wait here for me for a while." ”
After saying that, Jiusheng ran into the distance.
I know that Jiusheng, the dead fat man, must have bought food for the girl.
I looked at the girl and said again, "These people are too domineering, they are simply inhumane. ”
The girl did not speak, but hugged her legs and buried her head between her knees.
At this time, I noticed that the clothes on this girl's body were tattered, and there were patches on them, seeing the girl like this, I thought this girl should also be a child of a hard-working family.
As I was thinking this, Hisashi suddenly ran back, and he still had a kraft paper in his hand.
Hisashi came to the girl and opened the brown paper, which contained three buns.
The girl didn't say anything when she saw it, grabbed two buns and put them in her mouth.
Looking at the girl like this, as if she hadn't eaten for several days, Jiusheng sat down next to the girl and watched the girl eat so quietly.
When the girl finished eating, Jiusheng looked at the girl and asked, "Who are those people?" Why does it look so fierce? ”
After hearing this, the girl looked at Jiusheng with incredible eyes, and after a long time, she looked at Jiusheng and asked, "How come you don't know who those people are, could it be that you are not from the city?" ”
After hearing this, Jiusheng hurriedly said, "What...... How is it possible, we just don't usually come out, and we don't know much about the outside world, so we don't know. ”
The woman said later: "So that's the case, no wonder you don't know, it seems that it is also a person from a large family, and only people from a large family can't come out." ”
After hearing this, Jiusheng smiled embarrassedly: "It's not a big family, by the way, you haven't told me who they are." ”
After hearing this, the girl continued: "Those people are the servants of the adult's family. ”
"My lord? What grown-up? Hisashi asked again.
When I listened to Jiusheng's question, I almost didn't vomit blood, this question is a little wrong, if this girl is asking us, how can she not know who the adult is, then what should I do?
"That adult is the most powerful person in this city, and this city is also what the adult says." The girl said, looking at the river.
When I heard the girl's answer, I put my heart down, but fortunately the girl didn't ask.
"What about your family?" I asked as I watched the girl open her mouth.
The girl lowered her head for a long time before she said: "I don't have any family anymore, my family has been taken away by the adult, they said that the people in my family have contact with people outside, and then they were arrested, I don't know where I was caught, but I heard people say that as long as they are caught by adults, they will be sucked into the soul." ”
After hearing this, Jiusheng hurriedly said to himself: "Absorb the soul? Could it be that some kind of bullshit adult is not a living person? ”
When the girl heard Jiusheng say this, she hurriedly turned her head to look at Jiusheng, and then asked, "You don't know about adults?" Difficult...... Could it be that you are from the outside? ”
I hurriedly said, "You heard me wrong, he said that the adult did something too unpersonal." ”
The girl got up and looked at the two of us and said, "No way, I must have heard me right." ”
Jiusheng gritted his teeth and said: "You just believe us, I definitely didn't say that, and I must be a good person, if it is a bad person, I will not save you and sell you buns to eat." ”
Maybe the little girl has experienced fewer things, after hearing Jiusheng say this, I thought about it and felt that what Jiusheng said made sense, and she just finished eating Jiusheng's steamed buns.
"Don't talk about that, let's send you back to where you live, it's not a problem to stay here all the time." I looked at the girl and said.
The girl nodded, then turned and walked to the side, and I pulled Jiusheng and motioned for him to follow.
After that, Hisashi and I followed the girl for a long, long time, and I felt as if I had walked half the city, and as we moved the distance, everything around me changed.
I found that the buildings on both sides of the street gradually became dilapidated, and in the end I could not see the prosperity of the previous when I first entered, but replaced by dilapidated houses, and even some houses actually felt like they were about to collapse at any time, and the number of lanterns here became less and less, and the surroundings gradually became darker.
The girl led me to a dilapidated wooden door, half of which had fallen to the ground, and the girl walked in through the half-fallen wooden door, and Hisashi and I followed suit.
As we walked in, I observed.
The yard is not very big, and there is nothing in the yard, but I found a strange point, that is, there is a lot of paper money on the ground in the courtyard.
I frowned at the sight of the paper money on the ground, and then the girl stood at the door of the house and shouted to us, "What are you looking at? Come on in. ”
Hisashi and I glanced at each other and hurried towards the girl.
When we entered the house, the girl had already lit a dim oil lamp, and by the light of the oil lamp I could see the furnishings of the house.
The furnishings in the house are very ordinary, a clay kang, a wooden table and two wooden cabinets, and the rest are some small things for daily needs.
"It's messy at home, so you can just sit down." The girl looked at me and Hisashi and said.
Hisashi and I nodded, and then we made it down at the table.
After a few of us were silent for a while, I originally wanted to continue to know some things about this town, but I was afraid that asking too much would arouse the suspicion of the little girl, and the question that had been born for a long time had already made her suspicious, and if I was asking, the girl was suspicious, and I really didn't know how to explain it.
Just as I was thinking about what to look for, the little girl suddenly looked out the door and became nervous.
Seeing the girl's expression, I wondered, "What's wrong with you?" ”
The girl didn't answer my question, she just blew out the oil lamp.
