Chapter Fifty-Eight: Robbery in the Dark

The water in the cauldron was boiling, the heat was boiling in the ruined temple, and the faces of the people were hidden behind the steam, and their faces were a little blurred. A ragged boy lay on an oilcloth not far from the fire, with a quilt on his body, his eyelids and the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, but there was no sign of awakening.

Gently scooped a bowl of water from the pot, plucked some sugar from the sugar bag she brought with her and put it into the bowl, took a spoon and slowly dissolved it, handed it to Xiaohuan and said, "Feed him some hot sugar water, I think he is freezing and starving." ”

Hearing this, Xiaohuan took the bowl and spoon, slowly blew it warm, and wanted to feed it into the young man's mouth, but he gritted his teeth, and more than half of the sugar water fed in it flowed out again, and he was dizzy and wet his clothes.

"Gang'er, take a pair of chopsticks and pry his teeth open." Gentle frowned, and wiped the corners of the young man's mouth with a handkerchief. In order to pour the sugar water down, she can't care about violence or violence.

Mother Wen had been fidgeting beside her, thinking that there was still a corpse lying in the forest, she was even more frightened, and saw Xiaohuan feeding the sugar water to the young man in one mouthful, and couldn't help but hesitate...... There won't be any life lawsuits, right? ”

The coachman was roasting a bun on the fire with a twig, and when she said this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've checked the corpse, it's starved to death!" Won't get in any trouble. ”

Mother Wen was about to say more, but when she saw that Wen Rou took a hot steamed bun and handed it to her, she had to take it, close her mouth, and nibble on it. Anyway, she can see through it, as long as her daughter decides what to do, it is useless for her to say anything, it is better to fill her stomach quickly, rest for the night, and leave this ghost place early in the morning.

The atmosphere in the temple was quiet and depressing at first, and when the smell of food spread, the few victims who were huddled in the corner of the wall to keep warm became a little commotion, but the two scholars, sitting by a fire, talking about poems and scriptures, except for the occasional sneak glance at the gentle side, there was no other action.

Wen Rou was busy observing the state of the young man, seeing that his eyelids trembled twice, and a little blood finally appeared in his pale face, knowing that this person had been saved, he breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his head to eat the tasteless bun in his hand. But she didn't notice that the victims had been talking to each other for a while, and finally one of them took the lead and stood up and walked towards her.

The five victims hesitated and slowly leaned over, looked up gently, and finally saw it, thinking in their hearts, they were probably here to beg for food, right? Anyway, there was a lot of food to buy, and it didn't hurt to give them some evenly, but before she could open her mouth, she heard the leading victim stammer, stammering in a slightly trembling voice, "Put ...... Put the food ...... Hand them all over......"

Well? This is begging, it is clearly robbery! It seems that these victims are really hungry and faint, and they don't even care about breaking the law. Wen Wen frowned slightly, and was about to negotiate with them, but saw someone among the victims rush to her, snatch the bun in her hand that she had bitten a few bites, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Rao is gentle and well-informed, and he was suddenly robbed, and he was also dumbfounded.

"You ...... How can you grab it! This is too unreasonable! The coachman stood up angrily.

At the moment, all he was thinking about was eating, and he didn't pay attention to what the coachman was saying, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that the coachman still had half a golden steamed bun in his hand, and suddenly snatched it up, and desperately stuffed it into his mouth, choking and retching.

Everyone else has not eaten for four or five days, seeing that this person is eating happily, for fear that he will do it later, and he will not even be able to grab the bun slag, so he immediately rushed up and snatched all the food in the hands of Wen's mother, Wen Gang and Xiaohuan, not to mention, even the dried lotus leaf bag they put aside shook it open, and swept away the food inside.

Wen Rou has never encountered such a situation, I really don't know what to do, scolding and reasoning is definitely useless for these hungry and faint victims, she simply saves some tongue! He only dragged the slightly trembling Xiaohuan behind him, and swept around with his eyes, and when he saw the two scholars, he was already frightened and shrunk in the corner, and he didn't even dare to make a sound, knowing that he couldn't count on them to come forward and act bravely.

On the other hand, on his side, there was an unconscious teenager lying on the ground, and Wen's mother was even more begging, although Wen Gang protected Wen's mother, glaring at the victims with an angry face, as if he wanted to rush up and do it, but he was a child who had not even grown up, and he was useless, only the middle-aged coachman was left to confront them, but he was alone, and if he wanted to stop these five hungry adult men, I am afraid he couldn't.

What to do? It's useless to be reasonable, and you can't beat it, and there is only one way left, escape! But in this wilderness, it is so dark outside the temple gate that you can't even see the road, and the car is not set, and she is still dragging the old and the young here, what if one is lost along the way? If you freeze for half a night, it's enough to kill people. Gentle and helpless, so she had to stay where she was, and secretly prayed in her heart, hoping that these five victims were just trying to grab something to fill their stomachs, and not to hurt people.

Stabilization! Stabilization! She saw that the five victims were eating straight to the neck, and although she was already crying for help in her heart, she could only desperately suppress her panic and force herself to calm down. At this time, they must not show cowardice, otherwise they will do whatever they want.

"Everything you can eat has already been eaten by you, can you walk away?"

The voice seemed to float from a distant place, and it didn't sound like her own, but she was still satisfied that she didn't tremble or show timidity when she spoke. She stood there, staring coldly at the five victims, thinking to herself that if only her gaze could be turned into substance, she erected a thick wall of ice to isolate herself from the five crazy people.

A victim easily swallowed the food with his neck straight, and was speechless for a while, only pointing to the sugar bag beside Wen Wen, and only said fiercely for a while: "Take that candy ...... To give...... Give me! ”

Gently bent down to pick up the sugar bag and threw it over, and then saw the five victims surrounding and robbing, and even punched and kicked for it, and finally one person finally caught a handful of sugar, licked and ate it, and grabbed the sugar bag, and used the saliva-stained fingers to stick the remaining sugar grains in the bag.

Wen Wen frowned again, the situation in front of her, she could no longer express it in words, in addition to the fear of these five people, there was a little more pity in her heart. If they finish grabbing the food and can let go of the people on their side, she doesn't want to worry about anything, but the wishes are usually good, but the reality is often cruel.

The victims who barely ate half of the food were already addicted, and their faces swept away the previous look of humility and cowardice, but their eyes showed a fierce light, stared at gentleness, stretched out their dirty big hands and said: "Hand over all the money on your bodies!" ”
